Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03016443A1] A flame-retardant wick holder (10, 400) for a candle is made of a material having UL-94 vertical burn test rating of at least V-0, including polymers (i.e. - polyethersulfone, polyphenylsulfone, polyvinylchloride, polysulfones) and ceramics. The wick holder supports a wick (30) at the bottom of a candle (100). The wick holder material causes the flame on the wick to extinguish when it reaches the holder, thereby preventing flashover of the residual candle fuel at the end of the candle useful life. One version of the holder (10, 400) includes a barrier (80) extending upwardly around the holder for catching a drooping wick from causing secondary wicking and possible flashover near the end of the candle (100) useful life.
