Description

{1 BE2019 / 5072 | Candle and holder therefor. {The present invention relates to a candle,; More specifically, the invention relates to a candle as used in churches and the like, but is not concerned is limited and thus also relates to other types of candles such as scented candles, drip candles and the like, 9 10 to even tea lights. As is known, a candle is mainly formed by a | body made of candle wax and by a wick that is embedded in the: candle wax, whereby the wick is soaked in the liquid candle wax during the manufacture of the candle or the wick is poured into the vinous candle wax and the wick is then poured through 9 just solidification of the candle wax in the body gets stuck | There are also known cases in which the wick is loose and extends through a passage in the body of the candle | 20 extends.

In this document, use is made of the well-known term candlestick, but this term is not limited to the traditional beeswax from which scavenging candles were made, but OGK DD denotes other types of candle wax from which the candles can be made today, such as paraffin, stearin or the like For example, the wick is made of cotton and protrudes from the Body with an upper end at the top of the candle. This protruding end is called the wick or wick,

{The wick is lit before using the candle, The | flame melts the wax around the flame, sucking the liquid candle sheet into the wick as it were as fuel {to maintain the flame, 8 5 As the candle is used up, the hocate of | the candle and at the same time the length of the wick that | Stelseimatig burns up. | 10 It is known that when the candle is almost co-used, the draw-up of the liquid wax 9 decreases or stops and the | the remaining wick, as it were, without fuel supply 9 burns up and extinguishes, this being accompanied by the development of a black smoking foam. | Such a plume of smoke has the disadvantage of spreading fine and less fine soot particles that can be harmful to health and also responsible for the blackening of walls and ceilings in churches and everywhere candles are burned.

The present invention aims to provide a solution to one or more of the aforementioned and other disadvantages,

To this end, the invention relates to a candle comprising a body of candle wax, a wick that extends over a certain length through the body, characterized in that con masse is attached at the bottom of the wick, which is free-hanging or which, when the candle is used, is automatically fixed at a certain moment.

32 becomes free-hanging when the candle is partly used up and the mass is chosen so that it pulls the wick down at least partially from the body; when the candle is partly used up,

This prevents the wick from continuing to smolder at the end of its life and thus prevents the soot particles that are released from spreading.

Preferably, the candle is designed such that the aforementioned moment when the wick is pulled down occurs id before an aforementioned plume of smoke is generated 9 when the candle is completely used up, but at a time when the candle is fully used up, | Preferably, the mass is suspended in a closed chamber which is provided for this purpose in the candle. pulling the wick, if a little rock would still be developed, this smoke remains in the relevant chamber 29 D, According to a special embodiment, the aforementioned mass is also made from candle wax. This offers the advantage that the candle is fully recyclable, at least except for the wick.

Another advantage is that the body of the candle and the aforementioned mass can be cast as one monolithic whole from candle wax with inclusion of the lower part of the wick.

The mass can optionally be detachably attached to the wick, for which purpose the mass and / or the wick are provided with appropriate means. In this way the mass can be reused for candles 9 according to the invention without mass but with a wick 9 to both ends with a certain length protruding from the body {of the zaars, 9 10 A special embodiment of a candle according to the invention | is in the form of a tea light, whether or not provided with a Mass.

The invention also relates to a holder for a # 15 candle according to the invention, which holder is formed by | a sleeve-shaped shell into which a chamber is embedded which | is further delimited by a bottom and a baffle with sen 9 passage for the wiex of the candle, | The invention also relates to a candle with a holder according to the invention, wherein the holder is provided for supporting the candle and wherein the candle with a holder 9 is provided. the lower end of the blade protrudes through the passage in the plaice of the container into the chamber of the container and 9 25, whereby in this core there is a mass at this lower end | of the vane is or can be attached at a certain free falling height above the bottom. {When the candle is almost completely burned out and the wick has come loose enough, the mass falls with the remaining part of the wick into a closed chamber.

| figure 14 a variant Pays off a candle according to the invention: | figures 15 and 16 are variants of figures 13 and {14; figure 17 shows another variant of a kears according to the invention for multiple use: à figures 18 and 19 contain the candle of figure 17 Wages after a first use, {28 The candle 21 according to the invention shown in figures 1 and 2 contains a body 2 made of solidified # candle or similar and a wick 3 of cotton or the like | which is embedded in the candle wax with a part 4, 9 15 In this case, the candle 1 has a chamber 5 | which is bounded by an upper wall 6 and a side wall 7 and an open bottom 8. 9 With the aforementioned embedded portion, the wick 3 extends in height through the candle wax, the wick 3 with | the top end 3, the so-called wick, protrudes from the top of the body and protrudes with a bottom end 10 into the chamber 5,

According to the invention, a mass 11 is attached to the lower end 10, which mass is suspended freely in chamber 5 at a free falling height A above the bottom 8. The mass 11 can, for example, also be formed by a free-hanging part of the blade in which cannot tie a knot

Being 38,

The use of a candle 1 according to the invention is very simple and as follows. The candle 1 is lit by lighting the wick 5. # Around the viam 12, the candle wax becomes liquid, creating 9 around the flame 12 in the body 2 of solid candle wax a 9 dimple 13 which, as shown in figure 3, is filled with liquid candle wax 14 which is as it were absorbed by the wick 5 and which is gradually burned up by the flame 12. : As the candle 1 burns up and the candle wax is co-used 9, the candle 1 becomes shorter and shorter, with the 9 15 dimple 13 with viscous wax 14 in the top of the | xaar 1 moves further and further downwards, while 9 moves closer to the top wall 6 of the chamber 5. | At a certain moment, when the candle 1 is almost completely used up 9 20, the dimple 13 with liquid candle wax 14 in 9 Contact with the above-mentioned top wall 6 or almost, whereby the part 4 of the wick embedded in the solid candle wax 3 rocks. becomes shorter and at a certain moment even becomes so short that it can no longer hold the wick 3 with the mass suspended from it by the weight of the mass 11. The mass 11 with the remaining part of the wick 3 then falls over a height À down into the chamber 5 as shown in figure 4.

During the fall of the mass 11, the remainder of the wick 3 passes through the liquid candle wax 14

{g BE2019 / 5072 {left, which immediately extinguishes the flame 12 and {prevents the formation of black smoke at this stage | could develop as with the known candles. A à candle according to the invention is thus self-extinguishing when | 3 is almost over. 9 The passageway 15 thereby released into the body becomes 2 | filled with vivible candle wax 14 that is partially contained in the chamber | 5 runs and / or ideally closes through solidification this passage 15 1 with solidified candle wax, | As a result, the chamber 5 is closed at the top and at the bottom 9 because the candle 1 is placed on a table 16 or the like. 9 15 As a result, any black smoke that would still be released 9 is loosened up in this room 5 and settles on the 9 walls & and 7 of the room 5 and on the table 16, so that | this limits the spread of smoke and the resulting air pollution. {AU The open bottom 8 can optionally also be sealed with a material bottom, for example a bottom made of candle wax, so that all risk of smoke spread is completely prevented and all possible smoke remains inside.

It is clear that the mass 11 can also be made of candle wax. This is illustrated, for example, in figure 5, in which the mass 11 is guarded even as one monolithic whole with the body 2 in candle wax. The candle 1 thus becomes completely recyclable with the exception of the wick 3,

| The zone where the mass li at the top wall 6 of the chamber 5 is | attached, preferably within a circle around | the blade 3 whose radius B is smaller than the radius C of | the dimple 13 with liquid candle wax that, when a burning | S candle Ì around the flame 12 is cevornd. | The top wall 6 of the chamber 5 is in the upward direction and | narrowing towards the mass 11 so that the upper | zone of the xamer 5 is formed by a sharp edge 17 | 10 where the top wall 6 touches the mass II. | When using this candle 1, the dimple 13 with 9 liquid candle wax touches this sharp edge 17 as shown in figure 6, the mass 11 comes to hang loose. ib the remaining wick 3 which at that moment itself is surrounded by only 9 liquid candle wax 14 in the well 13, whereby 9 the mass 1 1 and the wick 3 fall down in the chamber 5 and the wick 3 is thawed, whereby in the top wall € & a 9 opening 18 remains.

This opening 18 is preferably kept as small as possible, so that the opening can fill with congealed candle wax as the molten candle wax 14 flows from the well 13 into the chamber 5 and thereby solidifies by extinguishing the flame 12. Instead of the wick 3 is embedded in the candle wax of the body 2, the wick 3 may also be loose in the body 2, where the wick 3 then extends freely through a passage 15 in the body 2 as shown in the figures 8 and

3. The wick 3 can then be provided with a foot 11 ° at the bottom, which is then glued under the body 2 as shown in figure & or clamped in a recess at the bottom of the body 2 as shown in figure 9, where # this foot is 11 ° the function of the mass il or the {function of an additional mass when, for example, the | & foot 11 "at the bottom. Empty the mass 10 of figure 5, ì is glued,

9 in FIG. 10, another embodiment is shown of a candle 1 according to the invention together with a matching holder 19, # In this case, the candle 1 is composed of a full cylindrical body 2 of candle wax with a wick 3 inserted in the | body 2 is cast in and attached to its ringed ends about | 15 protrudes a certain length beyond the body 2. The container 19 is formed by a sleeve-shaped jacket Z0 9 in which a chamber 21 is enclosed with an analogous function to the chamber 5 of the above described embodiments. 20, which chamber 5 is further bounded by a bottom 22 and a | baffle 23 is provided with the body 2 of the candle 1 and in which a central passage 24 is provided. in the example in figure 10, the portion of the 253 mante! 20 above the baffle 23 a seat for the body 2 of the candle 1. The wick 3 extends with its lower end 10 through the passage 24 into the chamber 21, a mass 11 being suspended from this end 10 at a fall distance A above the bottom Z2,

The use of such candle 1 with holder 19 according to the invention is analogous to that described above and is illustrated with reference to Figures 9 and 10.

8 5 In figure 11 the situation is shown in which the dimple 13 with viscous candle wax around the wick 3 has reached the passage 24 à.

9 When this happens, the blade of locs gets stuck and {10 the weight of the mass 11 is pulled into the kemer 21 where the [viam 12 is extinct as shown in figure 12. The narrow passage 24 is then solidified by a plug. | candle wax as a result of which the still developed rcok is completely contained within the chamber Zi.

[15 | Figure 13 shows a variant of a candle 9 according to the invention with a reusable holder 19.

| In this case, the mass 11 is uncoupled from the wick 3 and the mass 11 is provided with means 25 to be able to attach the mass 11 9 releasably to the lower end 10 of the wick 3, for example by means of a clip 9. or by a hook and ocg or the like, 9 22 In this case, the container 19 is made in several parts, for example with a bottom 22 that can be unscrewed or a partition 24 that is removable to gain access to the chamber 5. In this way, the holder 19 and the mass 11 are reusable and it is sufficient, after unscrewing the bottom 22, to place the candle 1 or a replacement resin 1 in the holder 19 with

{19 BE2019 / 5072 | the bottom end 10 through the passage 24 and then attach the mass 11 to the end 10 to screw the bottom 22 back onto the mantle 20, after which the candle is ready for use, | In an analogous manner in figure 14 a candle 1 according to the invention is shown in the form of a tea light 26 which; is known in a known way with a kupie 27 that | is filled with a body 2 of candle wax, but wherein the characteristic feature of the invention is that the wick 3 with [towards the lower end 10 over a certain length of | for example 2 com through the bottom of the cup 27 | protrudes and thus that the blade protrudes with its two ends beyond the body 2 by a certain length. 9 Such a tea light 26 can be used in a reusable holder 9 158 according to figure 13. 9 Figure 15 shows a variant of a holder 19 9 20 of which in this case the partition 23 is designed to be removable and rests on a recessed portion 28 of the jacket 20. The vane 3 may in this case be embedded in the body 2 or may be attached to the baffle 23, the vane then extending freely for example through a passage 15 in the body 2, as shown in Figure 16, and may be may or may not be provided at the bottom with a mass 11, which may or may not be detachably attached by means of a clip or the like.

In the event that the wick 3 is attached to the baffle 23, it is preferred that this baffle is made of a non-flammable material which melts as soon as the candle is almost burnt out.
