Abstract
A wick assembly for a liquid fuel combustion apparatus is structured by laminating a main wick and an auxiliary wick, and sandwiching a separator of an oil-impermeable material therebetween. By being so structured, the main wick can be made being hardly deteriorated in terms of its calorific value. A material having a large oil containing ability can be selected for the main wick, and distance between the oil level and top of wick can be made shorter. Fire-spreading time of the wick assembly after a lapse of long service period is still as short as that at the beginning of the service, and generation of an objectional odor and carbon monoxide at the time of ignition can be suppressed constantly.
