- This container (50) is inserted into a lamp housing (LG) and around the container cover (55) there is an insert ring (114) for a glass cylinder (115) inserted between the container cover (55) and the opening (113) of the lamp housing cover (LGD) .
- a central wick holder (100) is suspended in the container lid (55), on the one hand an angled and / or the curved trough (66) -rolling bracket- with a wicking-side melting pan (66a) for several fuel balls ( RK) and, on the other hand, a plug-on holder (116) with a hat-shaped flame extinguisher (117) with a handle (118) which is held there detachably.
- the melting trough (66a) has a retention stop (64) for the first fuel ball (RK).
- the roller bracket (66) is insulated from the melting trough (66a) and the container lid (55) and the container (50) by insulation (66b) against heat transfer.
- a disk body (119) made of fuel — a fuel disk — is inserted around the wick holder (51) in the container (50).
- the container (50) according to FIG. 36 has a removable cover (55) with a seal (94) in the form of an O-ring inserted in a circumferential cover groove (55a) and this cover (55) overlaps with its seal (94) Upper, preferably cylindrical edge portion (50c) of the container (50) sealed removable.
- a flat funnel-shaped ring insert (67) which results in a wick and flame opening (56) and which holds the roll bar (66).
- the wick holder (51) is held by a metal cap (99) on a felt ring (98) in the container (50).
- the fuel disc (tablet) (119) partially surrounds the wick (52) and at the same time exposes an air opening (120).
- the fuel disc (11) has a circular basic shape and a thickness that corresponds to a part of the disc diameter; In the center of the disc there is a semicircular air opening (120) and a semicircular one, opposite this, a funnel segment (103) of the wick holder
- 36 represents a combination device which can be operated either with a fuel disc (119) or with fuel balls (RK).
- the fuel (W) -paraffin- is an incandescent conveyor in solid or liquid form to facilitate wick annealing and to clean the capillary of the wick
- the glow conveyor is added to the paraffin weight in fractions of a percent.
- the paraffin has a very narrow melting point range of eg 54 to 56 ° C and consists of medium-length carbohydrate chains.
- the medium chain lengths avoid these disadvantages.
- a small fuel ball (RK) preferably weighs 7.5g, which corresponds to half a tea light.
