Patent Application
20220315861
The present invention relates generally to candles, and more particularly, to sage candle systems which provide centuries old spiritual and healing aromas.
Many methods and systems have been used in unsuccessful attempts to provide sage candles efficiently and effectively.
Additionally, past attempts have failed to provide a singular device for a person or a group of people to use in any environment to create sage candles with new and improved materials and methods to extend the life of the sage candles. Many of these unsuccessful attempts were costly and cumbersome for many people to adapt to.
Accordingly, there is an established need for a sage candle system. Further, there is an established need for sage candle systems which can provide a wide array of sage candle manufacturing methods to create new and improved sage candles in a cost-effective way using a plurality of materials that increase sage candle performance.
According to an aspect of the present invention, sage candle construction methods which are able to incorporate new materials are provided. These innovations include new, useful, and non-obvious sage candle construction and methods.
In an aspect, a sage candle system suitable for use as a sage candle is provided. The system includes a longitudinal wick. The system also includes aggregate material configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick. The system additionally includes an external covering material designed to cover an exterior surface of the aggregate material. Further still, the system includes external strapping material positionable on an exterior surface of the covering material and structured to provide an opening on a top end of the sage candle system to allow igniting a top end of the longitudinal wick and wherein the external strapping material provides for structural support of the sage candle system during burning evolutions such that a functional integrity of the sage candle system is maintained during the burning evolutions and wherein the external strapping material provides for cinching a bottom end of the sage candle system enabling the sage candle system to function as a sage candle effectively through consumption of the sage candle system throughout an effective life of the sage candle system.
In another aspect, a sage candle system suitable for use as a sage candle is provided. The system includes a longitudinal wick. The system also includes aggregate material configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick. Additionally, the system includes an external covering material designed to cover an exterior surface of the aggregate material; and external strapping material positionable on an exterior surface of the covering material and structured to provide an opening on a top end of the sage candle system to allow igniting a top end of the longitudinal wick and wherein the external strapping material provides for structural support of the sage candle system during burning evolutions such that a functional integrity of the sage candle system is maintained during the burning evolutions and wherein the external strapping material provides for cinching a bottom end of the sage candle system enabling the sage candle system to function as a sage candle effectively through consumption of the sage candle system throughout an effective life of the sage candle system.
In embodiments, the sage candle system can include lavender essential oils, sage essential oils, and/or a plurality of essential oils infused within the system to allow controlled release of the aromatics and essences during burning of the candle system.
In embodiments, the sage candle system can include a singular unitary system manufactured to include all the benefits of a composite system.
In embodiments, the sage candle system can include paraffins, gels, soy, and/or beeswax.
In embodiments, the sage candle system can include pillar candles.

In embodiments, the sage candle system can include candles with overall lengths of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and/or 12 inches or any dimension in between.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the sage candle can use rope, metal, plastics and other aromas to enhance the performance of the sage candle.
According to another aspect, the sage candle systems can incorporate organic and synthetic casings, wraps, center sections, burning holders, and other support material to contribute to candle performance.
According to yet another aspect, the sage candles can be constructed and combined with unique burning surfaces to increase performance.
According to another aspect, the packing of the sage candle can be modified to control the burn rate and change the number of aromas and oils that are being released over time.
In embodiments, a candle can be created in a metal and/or a silicone mold.
In embodiments, a wax rope, organic material, inorganic, composite, and/or a metallic based material can be applied onto an exterior of a main candle.
In embodiments, straps of material including wax and/or rope, can be wrapped around a main candle providing for support and structured to amplify additional aromatics when the candle is burned.
In embodiments, a wick or wax cord can be a colored wax wrapped around and melted to the main candle.
In embodiments, an exterior wrapping can be included to provide sufficient support to a candle to allow the candle to be inserted into a vertical candle holder and to be burned in place.
In embodiments, the system can include a plurality of sage components including leaves, essence oils, plant components, and other organic material infused with sage so as to allow aromatic release of sage while the candle is burning.
In embodiments, the system can include a candle designed to be placed horizontally in a shell type container while the candle is burned.
In embodiments, the system can include horizontally placed candles with a plurality of wicks coming out of the candle in order to produce an even burn of the candle and produce a homogeneous release of sage and/or other aromatics from the candle.
In embodiments, the system can include a candle holder similar to an incense holder which allows the candle to be burned and held in place by the incense holder like device.
In embodiments, an exterior of the candle can include silk screened images infused with aromatics, and other material which amplify the essences being emitted and the rate in which the aromatics are being released.
In embodiments, the exterior of the candle can include paints, ropes, strings, waxes, and/or metallic materials designed to control the burn rate of the candle and to have infused materials that will burn and give off their own aromatics and/or essences when the candle is burned at that location.
In embodiments, an internal of the candle system can include a plurality of smaller, thinner candle and/or sage branches, leaves, and/or other organic material rolled into cylindrically shaped items, and wherein the plurality of the smaller shaped items are held together by an external rope and/or strap like material designed to allow a controlled burn of the plurality of the smaller cylindrically shaped items together, as a unitary candle.
In embodiments, the exterior of the system can be irregular and configured to manually handle without depressing internal components.
In embodiments, the aggregate material can be homogeneous with respect to aromatics or aromatics and essences can be preferentially concentrated and structured to emit at a plurality of concentrations based on an axial position of where the candle system is being burned.
In embodiments, the smaller shaped items can be made from wax and/or organic material, handmade, production made, extruded, wicked and/or shaped manually to form a candle like system.
In embodiments, the system can include a singular wax type sage candle.
In embodiments, the system can include a plurality of thin wax type sage candles wrapped together to function as a unitary candle.
