Patent attributes
The present invention is a torch lamp for use during festive occasions having a proximal end that is capable of supporting a flame, a distal end that is open, a central axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a plurality of walls about the central axis defining a chamber and being radially spaced about the central axis, and one or more flame control devices. The walls substantially enclose the chamber and at least one wall is offset with respect to the central axis as to another wall such that the edge of one wall is offset from the edge of an adjacent wall forming a gap. The flame control device comprises a filter portion and a handle portion. The filter portion may be planar or nonplaner and contains one or more cutouts. The handle portion extends away from the filter portion and is used to maneuver the flame control device over the flame. One or more flame control devices may be positioned over the flame through gaps formed between the offset walls. Cutouts found on the filter portion alter the configuration of the flame and the flame's intensity.
