fuel of the candle is resting. This surface can be an attached plate (col. 5, lines 11-
15). From the disclosure that the wick holder is mounted at the candle floor, which
is the surface upon which the bottom of the candle is resting, we find that the wick
holder is mounted at the surface upon which the candle rests. From the disclosure
that the surface can be an attached plate, we find that the wick holder is mounted to
the attached plate at the bottom of the candle. Thus, we find that the embodiment
of figure 9 of Pappas can include a wick holder mounted at the bottom of the
candle to the plate upon which the candle rests.
In addition, from the disclosure of Pappas that the plate 114 can be non-
combustible, we find that the plate can be flame-resistant. Moreover, we observe
that claim 1 recites the wick support to be attached to the sheet. From the
disclosure of Pappas that the wick supports is mounted at the surface that can be an
attached plate; we find that the description of Pappas meets the claimed "an upright
wick support attached to the sheet (plate)."
