Abstract
A liquid candle lamp having a base with an opening passing downwardly through the top surface of the base. A disposable fuel cell is positioned in the base opening. The cell has an expanded lower section that has a close running fit with the side wall of the opening and an upper section of smaller size that forms a vertical slot with the side wall of the opening. A burner is mounted upon the top of the fuel cell which is surrounded by a globe-like chimney that is seated upon the lamp base. A skirt depends from the globe and is received within the slot so that the fuel cell substantially fills all the usable space within the base opening thereby permitting a maximum quantity of fuel to be stored within the lamp base.
