Three container candle assembly

Abstract

A candle container assembly. The assembly includes an outer container, a medial container situated within and attached to the outer container, and a gel between the outer container and the medial container. The assembly further includes an inner container which contains a candle. The inner container may be removed and replaced when the candle is completely consumed.

       10 . The candle container assembly of  claim 6 , said gel comprising a greater weight percentage of Kraton G-1650 than Septon 4033. 
   
   
       11 . The candle container assembly of  claim 7 , wherein said hydrocarbon oil is nonvolatile below 140° F. 
   
   
       12 . A candle container assembly comprising:
 a. an outer container;   b. a medial container situated within said outer container and affixed to said outer container, said medial container comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, said outer surface facing said outer container;   c. a substance between said outer container and said outer surface of said medial container;   d. an inner container removably situated within said medial container, said inner container having an outer surface and a hollow interior, said outer surface of said inner container facing said inner surface of said medial container, said inner container configured to contain a liquid substance in said hollow interior without leaking;   e. a candle situated in said hollow interior of said inner container, said candle having a wick;   f. wherein at least one of said medial container and said inner container is made of an impact-resistant, non-flammable clear material; and   g. wherein said inner container is further configured to contain residue from the combustion of said candle such that said residue may be removed with said candle when removing said inner container from said candle container assembly to replace said candle.   
   
   
       13 . The candle container assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said impact-resistant, non-flammable material is selected from a group consisting of:
 a. polycarbonate;   b. polyethylene terephtalate (PET);   c. polyethylene terephtalic ester (PETE);   d. high density polyethylene (HDPE);   e. polypropylene, polystyrene;   f. polytetrafluoroethylene;   g. polyurethane;   h. polyamide; and   i. a polyester resin based materials.   
   
   
       14 . The candle container assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said substance includes an additive selected from a group consisting of a fragrance, an insect repellent, and a therapeutic oil. 
   
   
       15 . The candle container assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said substance includes a decorative object.
