Patent ID: 10975329

Abstract:
Candle wick assemblies are provided having candle wick construction provided with multiple (e.g., two or more) candle wicks and a wax sheath covering the multiple candle wicks of the candle wick construction. The multiple candle wick construction will include at least first and second spaced-apart candle wicks and a ladder filament connected to and extending back and forth between the first and second candle wicks so as to establish respective crossing portions that are spaced apart from one another along a lengthwise direction of the wick assembly. The crossing portions of the ladder filament are folded about the longitudinal axis of the candle wick construction so that the candle wick assembly is in a generally U-shaped configuration. The crossing portions may have a generally concave central region when the candle wick assembly is in the generally U-shaped configuration while the wax sheath has a concavity generally corresponding to the concave central region which extends along the lengthwise direction of the wick assembly relative to the longitudinal axis of the candle wick construction.
