Abstract:
1. A decorative candle comprising: (a) a wax candle body of non-planar extent, said wax candle body having a wick therein, said wick burns so as to produce a glow within said wax candle body, said wax candle body having a melt region of limited extent about said wick, said wax candle body having an exterior surface with a plurality of cylindrically-shaped cavities thereon; (b) a conformal polymer ornament of generally planar extent, flexible, and transmissive of said glow, said cylindrically-shaped cavities dimensionally smaller than and beneath said conformal polymer ornament, said conformal polymer ornament conforming to said exterior surface when pressure is applied to said conformal polymer ornament; and (c) a liquid silicone adhesive disposed between said wax candle body and said conformal ornament, said liquid silicone adhesive filling said cylindrically-shaped cavities beneath said conformal ornament, said liquid silicone adhesive forming a resilient solid between said conformal polymer ornament and said wax candle body, said liquid silicone adhesive between said exterior surface and said conformal polymer ornament adhesively bonding said conformal polymer ornament to said wax candle body, said conformal polymer ornament mechanically interlocked to said wax candle body by said liquid silicone adhesive within said cylindrically-shaped cavities, said liquid silicone adhesive transmissive of said glow.
