Description
CAEDLg REFILLI~1G PACItAGE
object of the iaveation The present invention relates to a refilling package for candles, particularly for gel candles.
State of the art Candles have been sold in every size and weight for many years. CaBt candles are also 9o~.d, in other words, candles that are cast or moulded in any container which has generally speak~.ng a decorative value.
Metal, terra cotta, glass or china.-ware dishes or boxes of small size are generally used for this purpose, because of the good heat-resistance properties of these materials.
Until now, no ready-made possibi~.ity was available to re-use such a container for a cast candle after the or~.ginal candle had been burned out. Paraffin can be molten and optionally added with a fragrance and/or a dye and cast in a container provided with a wick. This method has numerous disadvantages . paraffin is usually sold in granules and is difficult to heat and to handle. Zt is particularly difficult to obtain a good cast candle, because of shrinkage phenomena upon cooling down and because the used tools and the container in which heating has been performed are to be cleaned.
This method is too fastidious and generally gives an unsatisfactory result.
Aim of the inveatioa The aim of the invention ie to be able to easily fill up a cast candle after the original candle has been burned out. An additional aim is to enable to refill without tools and with a good result.
Maia featur~a of the invention This invention relates in, a first aspect to a refilling package for filling up cast candles, characterized in that the refilling package consists in a flexible and heat-resistant material and in that it contains a candle fuel, namely gel paraffin.
The refilling package may include a closing cap. The refilling package may also comprise a fragrance and/or a dye.
A second aspect of the present invention is a refilling kit for filling up cast candles, 2S characterized in that it includes one or more refilling packages as described here-above.
Such a refilling kit Preferably includes wicks as well and optionally, a container for the manufacture o! a cast candle.
3o A third aspect of the present invention relates to a procedure for filling up cast candles with a refilling package as described here-above characterized in that it comprises .
- heating the refilling package until the candle fuel is molten, - preparing the container, and - caat~.ng the candle fuel into the container.
Heating is preferably carried out by contact with warm water Z3.
The container preparation may include arranging one or more wicks and optionally applying decorative e7.ementg (non-flammable decorative material).
Detailed daseriptivn of the iaventiva The invention relates to a refilling package for filling up cast candles.
This invention will be explained further in details referring to figures and examples which are not limitative for the scope of this patent application.
Hrief description of tha drawings Fig. 1 de~cribes a refilling package for cast candlse as a particular embodiment of the present invention, more specifically a ref~.lling package with a re-clvsable cap and provided wt~.th a bag with wicks.
P'ig. 2 illustrates a refilling kit according to a particular embodiment, specifically a refilling kit comprising a non re-closable refilling package and a bag with wicks.
Fig. 3 shows a kit comprising various non re-closable refilling packages according to a particular embodiment of the present invention, a bag with wicks and one or more containers.
Fig. 4 illustrates a double refilling package as a particular embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 5 illustrates a procedure for filling up containers for cast candles with a refilling package according to the present invention.
The present invention can assume various forms. A number of examples of embodiments is discussed hereafter.
A first embodiment of the invention is described in Fig. X. In this figure, a refilling package 1 with a closable cap 3 is illustrated, provided with a bag with wicks 5. The hag with wicks 5 i.s preferably glued to the refilling package eo as to gall both together. The refilling package itself consists in a heat-resistant and preferably flexible material, so that the paraffin gel, after heating, can be easily pushed out of it.
The paraffin qel may be coloured preferably with a transparent dye and may be perfumed by adding a fragrance for candles. Using this embodiment of the invention, a container can be refilled several times with the same refilling package. The cap 3 ie closed and the gel in the refilling package 1 becomes solid and can be molten again in a further refilling operation.
fig. 2 illustrates a refilling kit according to a particular embodiment, specifically a refilling kit 9 including a non re-closable refilling package 7 and a bag of wicks.
This refilling package is obviously intended for a single use. It is therefore desirable that the refilling package should nvt contain too much gel, as this latter cannot then be used. The ideal solution 5 would be to dimension this refilling package in such a way that it can fill up a particular container. A non re-closable refilling package is also made in a heat resistant and preferably flexible material and can be opened by cutting a small corner for instance with a pair of scissors.
Zn an advantageous embodiment, a weakening part 11 is arranged in one of the corners of a non re-cloeable refilling package so that the corner can be torn off by hand.
Fig. 3 shows a kit 13 including several non re-closable refilling packages 15 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention, a bag of wicks and one or more containers 17. In this embodiment, the non re-closable refilling packages 15 may be easily dimension~d depending upon the containers 17.
Fig. 4 illustrates a double refilling package 19 as a particular embodiment of the present invention.
The double refilling package 19 contains two re-closable refilling packages l, that preferably include a different combination of fragrances and dyes. The user can optionally carry out combinations with the different gel paraffinB.
Fig. 5 describes a procedure for filling up containers for cast candles with a refilling package according to the present invention. A re~closable or non-reclosable refilling package 21 is placed in a bowl with enough warm grater 23 (approximately at BO°C) for to 15 minutes so that the gel paraffin becomes quite liquid.
5 rn the meantime, the container 25 may be placed on a stable base 27. one or more wicks 29 from the bag of wicks 5 are subsequently applied, preferably in the centre of the container 25, If several wicks are being applied, they should be preferably spaced 5 cm 10 away from each other.
Opt~.onally, preferably non flammable decorative elements 31, such ae sand, shells, small stones, nails, etc. may be applied ~.n the container 25.
Finally, the cast gel paraffin 33 is moulded in the container 25, as high as about 1 cm from the top of the prick. As soon as the paraffin is solidified, the candle can be lit and used.
