Related application
This is that the series number of being applied on April 14th, 2000 is 09/550,285 subsequent application.
Background of invention
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to a kind of decorative illumination product, more particularly, the present invention relates to have the candle product that the decorative film of temperature variation sensitivity characteristics is decorated by applying, wherein said film or be fitted in candle originally on one's body, perhaps fit on the candle frame that wherein is placed with candle.
Background information
Illuminating product has multiple shape, size and pattern such as candle and candle product.Here about inflammable active material or send the candle of fragrance or will use word " twinkler and illuminating product " based on the means of illumination (such as candle or oil lamp or lantern) of candle wick and burning hydrocarbon-based fuel.For example, the present invention is applicable to that also wherein the irradiation source is for being sealed in the means of illumination that consumes the burning wick of lam-oil in the traditional oil lamp with muffle.Some candles are stand alones, and other candles in lantern, jar in or be kept upright in the analogue.Other candles are placed in the candle frame, and in the situation of so-called gel candles and some candles, be commonly referred to a jar shape candle, can basically candle be full of the volume that described candle is positioned over candelabra wherein, or be tending towards being full of certain aspiration level of described candelabra.It should be understood, however, that when relating to twinkler or candle or candle frame, trend towards not only comprising candle, and comprise other forms of means of illumination, such as oil lamp and the lamp globe that is used for oil lamp.Therefore, it should be noted, the present invention is not limited to candle or the like, and comprise means of illumination with various substrates, described substrate will stand for example can activate the temperature variation and the change of attached thermocolour wrap thereon, particularly those wherein temperature variation be the means of illumination that causes by the radiating capacity that strikes on the attached material surface thereon of thermochromic materials.
In above-mentioned any situation, all expect to decorate described illuminating product to improve their aesthetic property, no matter be when non-luminous display or when luminous.Yet, the outside surface of decorating twinkler or twinkler frame may be difficulty and cost high.And many known technologies can't provide handiness in the production to change concrete decorative pattern quickly and easily.This has limited saves into this locality and the ability of multiple pattern is provided and makes pattern adapt to the ability of human consumer's requirement, concrete season, activity, theme, holiday etc., the ability with decorative effect product that provides perhaps has been provided, described decorative effect, that is, according to twinkler self luminous changeable decorative effect whether.
Therefore, this area needs cost-effective trailing, and described method has greater flexibility on producing, and allowing the variation of various decorative patterns, and provides transformable decorative lighting product when twinkler self burns.
Long ago we just know, candle is wrapped in the protectiveness material.For example, people's such as Wade U.S. Patent No. 2,137,707 a kind of technology of having touched upon, described technology are used for the taper candle is encapsulated in the seamless casing that the cellulose materials by non-fiber constitutes.It is transparent, translucent and/or chromatic that described sleeve pipe can be.In one embodiment, the cellulose materials with non-fiber forms tubulose.The material that described pipe is got wet and invested on the candle with softening.The diameter of wet pipe is substantially equal to the mean diameter of taper candle, and shifts onto on the described candle under with described wet pipe or on the circular spindle the same with described candle size the time, the described wet pipe that just stretches if necessary is with on the thicker end that is enclosed within candle.Then, the candle that drying is capped, this pipe has constituted the protective casing that tightly meets this candle shape like this, and candle wax is remained on solid or molten state.
We know, candle is wrapped in red shortness's film for transportation and display.In U.S. Patent No. 3,126, in 682, Krance a kind of method of wrapping up candle of having touched upon.By the pipe of red shortness's mould material is formed at around the candle loosely.By clamping candle beyond in its each end, the candle that is wrapped up is transported through thermal source, and described thermal source makes the pyrocondensation around candle of this material.Selected material has two key characters: in case this material has contacted the surface of candle, it has just no longer shunk; And it has kept the static of high loading, and described static makes this material adhere when overlapping.Therefore, after pyrocondensation is with wringing fit, this material be not be heat-sealed ground but kept together with candle statically.
We know, for the purpose of decorating red shortness's wrap are invested on the various article.For example, touched upon ornamental three-dimensional article such as ornament, glassware or electricbulb of people's such as Spiegel U.S. Patent No. 3,829,348.By around article, making the decoration pipe of heat shrinkable plastic or (band) pyrocondensation decorate described article.Will manage or be with fit on the decorated article before, decorate these pipes by precut pattern, silk screen printing, streak etc. are provided.Described plastics are polyvinyl chloride of uniaxial orientation (PVC) or polyethylene preferably, compares with the high shrinkage of the 2-10% of pipe, and the diameter that produces 30-50% shrinks, therefore cause managing or with total inner surface contact with no gap between the institute decorative article outside surface.
Equally, Barrett, the U.S. of Jr authorize the touched upon preprocessing of a kind of church candle of (Reissure RE 20,434) patent again, wherein candle body is tightly wrapped in the cylindrical transparent film of amorphous cellulose, described cylindrical transparent film is not attached on the candle when dry.What touched upon is that described film can be pure color or chromatic, and can combine with the stained glass pipe of constituent apparatus outside, and described stained glass pipe comprises end fitting and housing.
The not authorization patent application of being applied on April 14th, 2,000 09/550, in 285, the present invention is the subsequent application of described application, people such as Kotary disclosed a kind of on candle the technology of applying pyrocondensation parcel decorative film, the purpose of this technology is to provide a kind of cost-effective method flexibly that is used for providing various decorative effects on candle product.This does not authorize the method that patent application relates in particular to applying pyrocondensation wrap film on candle product, does not almost address its available special visual effect.
The present invention relates to illuminating product, when the flame of illumination component, described illuminating product will change or develop.Therefore, when be decorated with on it, be printed on or in addition with the inside of the candle frame of thermo-color pattern or label, [glass] lampshade, lamp globe or other around the surface during by the flame of candle or combustion elements heating, picture on surface changes as a result.Particularly, the present invention relates to candle or have other means of illumination of relevant candelabra, [glass] lampshade, lamp globe, jar etc., wherein shrink wrapped thing film is attached to the surface of described candelabra, [glass] lampshade, jar etc., printing ink or pigment with thermo-sensitivity on described shrink wrapped thing stamp, brush or enclose in addition pattern or label, thereby printing ink or pigment can change color, become visual, or owing to heat energy becomes not visible.The stratum basale that described pattern or label are decorated as shrink wrapped thing film can be applied, or can be used as and more complicated wherein exist with normal printing ink or pigment and thermocolour printing ink or pigment combines or a plurality of parts that are coated with brush layer, picture or have the label of label or pattern in addition of only drawing with thermocolour printing ink or pigment.For example, before investing the outside surface of candle jar, can be pyrocondensation wrap brushing background layer or be suitable for use as the independent pattern of the conventional printing ink of decorative candles label, second, can on the first layer, apply the thermo-color pattern, thereby overlap with it producing the pattern of expectation so that candelabra, [glass] lampshade, jar or the like in candle combustion the time label is heated the basis on special-effect is provided.
Thermocolour printing ink and pigment are known, but not having a kind of is to be used in the mode of being advised here.At U.S. Patent number 3,286, in 492, Frazier has touched upon film has been invested surface of candle, and wherein film provides information or other labels, with described information or other tag location, but becomes visual not visible before the lighted candle behind lighted candle.In this reference, with support film is positioned between candle and the support, described support has the wall of translucent material, and described wall is from visually being concealed with striped before lighted candle.After lighted candle and melted paraffin wax and liquefaction, translucent wall and the transparent part of striped of the light that comes from candle wick by described is visual.Like this, the label that becomes visual behind lighted candle is not in fact a thermo-color, and only be translucent or transparent, and the remainder of film is opaque or translucent, so flame transmits so that show the light of brushing label by the liquid paraffin that passes candle.Internal surface at film can apply thin dye coatings, so that pass the only chromatic of transparent part.Film itself is called sensitive film, polyester basement membrane preferably, described polyester basement membrane does not shrink during developing basically, and during heating unfold.
At U.S. Patent number 3,586, in 473, Galloway a kind of candle with high fusing external coating (EC) of having touched upon comprises a kind of material that produces desired color flame when standing the heat energy of flame in described coating.In this case, the candle flame that is burning forms cup-shaped depression, is centered on by the height fusing external coating (EC) resin, plastics or the other materials that comprise the material that adds lustre to.The edge in cup-shaped depression on the border of flame, thereby make it be elevated to the higher temperature of temperature that obtains than the candle wick place in the liquid wax pond.The light that passes the chromogenic agent that flame edge place height is heated then makes flame painted.The not mentioned external coating outside of this patent pattern, also the add lustre to kind of material of without proper notice is new.To be claimed as novel be the position of material in candle of adding lustre to.
People's such as people's such as Nakasuji United States Patent (USP) 4,028,118, Kito United States Patent (USP) 4,720,301 and people's such as Kito United States Patent (USP) 4,732, the 810 temperature indication compositions of all having touched upon reverse respectively, described temperature indication composition provides the wide region of the color harmony function on the wide temperature range.Yet none is advised out such ink coats to shrink wrapped thing label in the above-mentioned reference, and described label is attached to by on the surface that is positioned at inner candle flame heating.
Hutchinson, and Brown, people such as Jr are at United States Patent (USP) 4, the auxiliary temperature of having touched upon in 524,778 indication composition, described United States Patent (USP) 4,524,778 have disclosed a kind of thermal map shows the telltale coating, described thermal map can be shown the telltale coating is positioned on the human body, to participate in the detection of malignant tumour by the indicating area temperature contrast.In Hutchinston United States Patent (USP) 5,482,373, the temperature indicator of the thermo-color of having touched upon can be magnetically or the temperature indicator of described thermo-color is anchored on the outside of beverage container by adhesion method.
At United States Patent (USP) 4,818, in 215, Taga has disclosed a kind of candelabra that improves decorative effect that has.This candelabra comprises the hollow shell of forms such as animal, buildings and fruit, and the candle that is arranged in its inner chamber heats described hollow shell.At least one part of this hollow shell outside surface be coated with thermal response, the color change material, in people's such as previously mentioned Nakasuji United States Patent (USP), being touched upon.When lighted candle, described housing is heated, and the pattern of being seen has changed then.By smear, printing etc. thermo-sensitive material is directly invested on the housing.
At United States Patent (USP) 6,165, in 234, Kanakkanatt has touched upon and has a kind ofly changed the candle of effect by have color with negative and positive type thermochromic pigment, and described pigment shows dense color when being heated to the candle fusing point.These candles receive the compound that chooses the fragrant systematism compound by comprising from power supply colour developing systematism compound, electronics, a kind of medium from Fatty Alcohol(C12-C14 and C12-C18) or paraffin selection, one or more comprise the oil base perfume compound of aromatic aldehyde, ketone or ester, and the mixture of the nitrate of solvable halogenide or transition metal is formed.The relative proportion and the physical process of the composition by control candle or candle wax or other waxes, and selected special thermo-color compound, during in heating or when candle combustion, a kind of color can perhaps can be eliminated initial color and provide negative thermo-color effect from the colourless state positive thermo-color effect of developing.When mixing with conventional oil base dyestuff when providing color-color effects, when burning candle, on the basis of heating and fusing wax, can change another kind of form and aspect into from a kind of form and aspect from color change wax and the candle of wherein making.
Except the previously mentioned patent relevant, also have some to touch upon and ornamental and/or marking materials (such as label) are invested the reference of various article outside surfaces with shrink wrapped thing material being invested the surface.For example, at United States Patent (USP) 5,879, in 496, people such as Bright have disclosed the method for a kind of sign convex surface (such as bottle, egg, Christmas tree decoration etc.), this method by in the major portion of the described material of pyrocondensation part so that after tightly adhering to the surface, make each end of heat-shrinkable materials part invest described surface with tackiness agent.Employed conventional material contracting with heat has the high-orientation of contraction.Disclosed a kind of red shortness's polyester film in people's such as Mori the U.S. Patent No. 5,932,685 with fabulous shrinkage character.Owing to have the such fact of shrinkability wrap film of this reference, that is, not only when shrinking, stand less vertical minimizing, and they also almost do not have residual wrinkle, shrink spot or distortion, so think that they are preferred after shrinking.
Therefore, the multiple disclosure that is fitted in the film of the shrink wrapped thing on the target for the purpose of decorating that is applicable to is arranged, but there is not a kind of use that has the label shrink wrapped thing of the pattern, impression or the label that come from candle or similar flame sensitivity of addressing, because the heat energy or the flame in the combustion processes of candle make pattern, impression or label " change ", and change described pattern effectively owing to temperature sensitivity.The printing ink of thermally sensitized or thermo-color is well-known, and for ornamental and purpose safety lighting, the past arrives various surfaces with such ink coats.Yet, do not have a kind of printing ink to be proposed to can be used as to be applicable to fit to and carry out shrink wrapped on the material that described material is shone by candle so that change into different colours etc. subsequently.
Expect that in addition shrink wrapped thing label has high-clarity, so that can see background illumination by described wrap, such as when described wrap is invested the outside surface of candle frame, to see the light that comes from burning candle by film, and the printing zone of described film absorbs the light that comes from candle simultaneously, and owing to absorb heat energy and change subsequently from candle, so that tangible visual effect to be provided.A kind of such effect that provides is not provided in the previous described reference.
Therefore, do not applied for also before that described heat shrinkage film had following characteristic about using heat shrinkage film decorative illumination product (such as candle or candle frame), that is, film has during candle combustion and candle extinguishes the pattern that the back changes or develops.Therefore, this product is not only in combustion processes but also visually pleasant when unignited display, because it has visually pleasant pattern.It should be noted, not only the heat energy of candle light can make and is used for thermochromatic material of the present invention " change " when candle is lighted, and when candle unignited but be in heat energy that temperature is higher than the other light sources in the normal room temperature environment and also can make this material " change ".Therefore, when unignited being put in after the table that is close to the incendiary fireplace goes up with decorative candles of the present invention, for example, even after candle extinguishes, it will begin to change.In a word, previous also nobody suggestion has such as heat shrinkage film decorative candle or candelabra, lamp globe or the muffle of color change characteristic owing to temperature raises by use, and described candle or candelabra, lamp globe or muffle during normal use will stand high temperature.Not a kind of like this application of suggestion of prior art does not advise certainly that red shortness's polymkeric substance can be used for expecting the inflammable product of decorative effect yet.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has proposed above-mentioned suggestion by a kind of product and method are provided, wherein by twinkler, candle or candelabra being wrapped in the ornamental red shortness's polymerization wrap with special characteristic, and around twinkler, candle or candelabra the described wrap of pyrocondensation with the decorative illumination product.

Figure 1A and 1B show two embodiment of the decorative illumination product 1 that constitutes according to the present invention.In each embodiment, this wrap 10 of pyrocondensation is decorated this illuminating product 1 in, red shortness's polymeric wrap 10 ornamental by outside surface 1 is wrapped in and around this illuminating product 1.As shown in Figure 1A, can make wrap 10 pyrocondensations to the candle frame 20 that candle 25 wherein is housed.Perhaps, shown in Figure 1B, wrap 10 direct heat can be reduced on the candle 25.
Wrap 10 is the polymeric materials that have such as the desired characteristic of the present invention is provided.That is to say, wrap constitutes a film that deposits the thermocolour ink image on it, described printing ink is deposited on the film in random mode or in the pattern mode of expecting, the incident of light that wherein comes from the candle wick place flame of relevant candle is heated with will making printing ink " variation " or radiation, and described printing ink will react thereupon.As described, described thermocolour printing ink can adopt the mode of pattern, and such as picture, image, Print Label etc., perhaps described thermocolour printing ink can adopt random " splash " of color fully, can be monochromatic form or combined color form.
For example, can make to have detail of design 12 on the wrap 10, described detail of design 12 should not only improve the outward appearance of candle 25 or candle frame 20, when lighted candle 25, also the light that should be sent with candle 25 irradiation of this candle light (for example, by) strengthens the visual effect that is produced.For example, substrate wrap 10 can be colored translucent.This will equally with colored glass strengthen the various surface characteristic (for example, fillet, ripple or other) of candle frame 25.Perhaps, wrap 10 optionally is transparent, translucent and/or opaque, so that when lighted candle 25, provide the light pattern of expectation.Available a plurality of suitable operation provides detail of design 12, described operation such as stamp (comprise all or use conventional printing ink in selected zone) or finish (comprise gloss, tarnish or other professional finishings are provided).In the embodiment shown in Figure 1A and the 1B, on label, be printed on the image in house, wherein use thermocolour ink printing window part, when printing ink was heated, described thermocolour printing ink was from dark-coloured yellowing, perhaps, from transparent yellowing.Therefore, after lighted candle and candle have burnt a little while, thermocolour printing ink will change color, make the image in house begin luminous internally by window.As previous summary, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprise put on transparent glass candle frame have wounded colored pattern or thereon the label of knowing the film background of impressing, apply by this way, promptly, flame during the candle combustion illuminates this pattern or label from behind, and when when burning this pattern or label from described flame absorption radiating capacity.Burning for some time and behind flame absorption heat energy, thermocolour printing ink in print pattern or the label is from the transparent colour that becomes, or the change color, demonstrating the pattern or the label that present a contrast with background in shape, other parts of label thermocolour ink printing of no use then do not change.By with a large amount of colored thermocolour ink printing labels, or with single pass solarization impression method, or the compound of different printing ink applies, all can obtain compound multicolor patterns, when candle combustion, described compound multicolor patterns absorb light and heat energy from candle, also absorb light and heat energy from other environment thermal energies, and change color formerly to be the pattern that transparent region or limited painted zone provide composite color.For example, can print candle wrap of the present invention with the flower pattern in a usual manner, wherein become green thermocolour ink printing leaf from transparent when being heated, and when being heated from transparent ink printing bud and the petal that becomes redness.Behind candle combustion number minute, on candle or candle frame, can see the image of flower, and before it was not visible.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1A, wherein make wrap 10 invest candle frame 20, available wax, gel or other suitable candle shaped materials constitute the candle 25 that is positioned in the candle frame 20, and the cylindricality candle shown in candle 25 can be perhaps can be the jar shape candle that is full of below the candelabra top a bit.In addition, candle 25 can be has equipment any inflammable release fragrance candle wick and burning hydrocarbon-based fuel or illumination, so that in the candle combustion process, active substance can be discharged into the atmosphere, and along with lighting of candle will show the image of variation.
We worry whether the thermal polycondensation compound can be used for decorating such flammable product at first.Yet, we find, preferred wrapper, gather (ethylene terephthalate) (PET), the working conditions of standing expection (for example, extend and to be exposed to temperature up to 150), and when being exposed to such as the such non-standard condition of flaring (during temperature can be approximately 600 to 800), misalignment wrap or the like, also can play a role satisfactorily.Though this material is preferred, but wrapper also can be in the multiple suitable thermal polycondensation film any one, described suitable thermal polycondensation film comprises: PVC, polyethylene, polystyrene, other polymkeric substance or the like, as long as this film is not subjected to the disadvantageous effect of temperature between the normal usage period of candle.In addition, if make wrap 10 directly invest candle 25, we advise that the wrap film is enough low temperature red shortnesses or of short duration time shutter, so that candle 25 self will stand seldom to melt or do not melt in contraction process.Here for for the purpose of the facility, pad pasting or wrap should be expressed as and fit on the candle, or fit on the candle frame, or fit on the independent frame, it should be understood that word " candle frame " and " frame " are meant the lamp globe, jar, [glass] lampshade, lamp outer cover and the shell that are suitable for centering on candle or light that comprises form of ownership, the light of described flame generally is visual by these outer covers.
With reference to Fig. 2 A and 2B, the decoration program that shows the parcel candelabra respectively and directly wrap up the embodiment of candle, each all comprises the step (step SA (1) and SB (1)) of the nethike embrane that the wrap film is provided.Before being attached to nethike embrane on the illuminating product, desired pattern is imprinted on, is drawn in, is coated in or invests in addition the surface of nethike embrane.Best (but nonessential) provides the wrap film with the form of individual sheets: be enclosed within on candle 25 or the candelabra 20 preformed, closed loop or with 14 (as shown in Figure 3), or be wrapped in plate 16 (as shown in Figure 4) around candle 25 or the candelabra 20.In each case, as shown in Figure 5, provide the step (step SA (1) or SB (1)) of nethike embrane may further comprise the steps: successive cover or bar (step S2 (a)) are provided and will overlap or bar is divided into individual sheets (step S2 (b)).Perhaps can after this program, described nethike embrane be slit into sheet, such as (below will describe) after encasing candle product 1 at described nethike embrane.
In arbitrary situation, no matter be before investing candelabra 20 or candle 25 (in 14 situation) still after (in the situation of plate 16), the edge 18 of all overlapping in a known way and described film of joint.For example, can make edge 18 by solvent sealing, heat seal, adhesive seal, sonic welded etc.In with 14 situation, in formation place of described cover described edge is connected, this program is to carry out by the relative transverse edge that engages " continuously " nethike embrane of described film with tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF) solvent that applies in a known way in a preferred embodiment.Be preferably in described film is divided into and detail of design 12 invested on the described film before the individual sheets.In with 14 situation (as shown in Figure 3), be preferably in described sleeve forming before by printing, or with thermocolour printing ink detail of design 12 invested on " continuously " nethike embrane by similar suitable applying method.Described detail of design also can comprise conventional phosphorescence element and luminous in the dark pattern element, and the thermocolour element, has the different pattern of demonstration when not having candle light and heat energy or surround lighting with heat energy like this.
Can locate the film of wrap 10 like this, that is, make it, thereby improve the predictability of shrink packaging program mainly along unidirectional contraction.Can finish this program in a known way.For example, before forming individual sheets, described film still comprises " continuously " nethike embrane of integral form simultaneously, can be along a direction heating and this film that stretches.Usually carry out this program along being transverse to machine direction (transverse to the length direction of " continuously " nethike embrane), when heating this film once more subsequently in the pyrocondensation program, this film will mainly shrink along its direction that is stretched.Although be not essential to the invention, preferably this film orientated as and along the circumferential direction shunk widerly than in axial direction about candle product 1.This helps the location of this film with respect to candle 25 or candle frame 20.The film that does not shrink as yet can be positioned over loosely around candle 25 or the candle frame 20, can make the top of this film or the final position substantial alignment of bottom margin and its plan, when this film shrinks (mainly along the circumferential direction), this film will surround candle 25 or candle frame 20 tightly, and the top of this film or the excessive axial displacement of bottom margin can not occur.
Preferred PET film is approximately 25 to 60 micron thickness, and with this film transverse orientation, so that demonstrate following shrinkage character during 15 seconds when submergence in the water that is being heated:
Water Shrink (%)
Temperature (℃) Machine direction Transverse to machine direction
80 <4 50-60
100 <3 >70
Can cut apart successive cover or bar (step S2 (b)) by the time limit of being measured with the output of photosensor produces to be used to invest and independently is with 14 or plate 16 on each candle 25 or the candle frame 20.In order to ensure being that suitable spacing with respect to the detail of design on the film 12 is cut apart described cover or nethike embrane, the available light sensing device detects the predetermined coincidence mark (if expectation can detect " window " with photosensor in a known way and be defined as particular time interval) on described cover or the nethike embrane.If decorating detail of design 12 is repeat patterns, photosensor can turn on the special characteristic of pattern so.If pattern is not multiple or repeats to be less than usually cutting at interval, can provide standard to overlap mark so.For example, can incorporate the removing box that has specific border in each detail of design 12 at the same position place in free band 14 or plate 16.This makes and has detail of design 12 more than one on the independent nethike embrane, therefore be with 14 or plate 16 on detail of design, differ from one another.This has increased simplification and the cost-effectiveness of producing the candle product 1 of decorating various patterns greatly, particularly in the situation that has a large amount of thermocolour printing ink.
Then, in step SA (2) and SB (2), candelabra 20 or candle 25 are wrapped up by red shortness's wrap with reference to Fig. 2 A and 2B.(seeing Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).In a preferred embodiment, be with its circumference slightly greater than target candle 25 or candelabra 20 with 14 or surround plate 16 and carry out this program.For example, be not (to that is to say that some part is wideer than other parts) under the columniform situation at candle frame 20, with 14 or surround plate 16 should be slightly on circumference greater than the wideest part of candle frame 20.Yet, if since expectation can with 14 or plate 16 be stretched on the bigger candle frame 20, so this is not always necessary.
With 14 or the height of plate 16 can be very near the Desired Height of the final pattern on candle 25 or the candelabra 20.Just as mentioned, can use orientation film to be with 14 in a known way, describedly be with 14 mainly along the circumferential direction to shrink, and be limited in the contraction of axial direction due to provide.
To describe below one typically invest curved surface candelabra 20 be with 14, this candelabra 20 is similar to the 68.6mm height, and this candelabra 20 has sidewall, the mouth place diameter of this sidewall is about 70.6mm, its the wideest point protrudes into diameter and is about 80.8mm (girth is about 253.8mm), and the diameter of its substrate is reduced to 40.5mm gradually.Constitute the girth that overlaps with 14 elongation and be about 260.75mm (corresponding) with the diameter of about 83.0mm.With this cover be horizontally divided into be about 71.0mm high be with 14.Like this, each is with 14 approximately than candelabra 20 big 7.0mm on girth.Each is with 14 also approximately than candelabra 20 high 2.4mm.Yet because the circular side wall of candelabra 20, in fact it has surpassed with the several millimeters of 14 height along the actual range of sidewall from the top to the bottom.
What will so constitute then is with 14 to be positioned over (see figure 3) on the candelabra 20.Although be not essential to the invention, in the program phase (seeing shown in Fig. 2 A) of parcel candle frame 20, preferably there is not candle 25.This makes and candelabra 20 inverted orientation can be gone up so that with 14 applying in loading end (such as travelling belt or pallet).This has several advantages.This location in, the pyrocondensation program begin be with 14 can lean against on the loading end.This has prevented that wrap 10 from covering on the mouth of candelabra 20.This also provides the reference plane that prevents that wrap 10 is crooked with respect to candelabra 20.Second advantage is, do not exist candle 25 to avoid candle 25 to stand the high temperature of pyrocondensation program in this stage, described high temperature can cause the softening of candle 25 or fusing (though as in the situation that wrap 10 is directly invested candle 25, minimizing can this fusing is controlled at).
It should be noted, can be the time candle 25 be positioned over (SA among Fig. 2 A (4)) in the candelabra 20, and before wrap 10 is invested candelabra 20, can has candle 25 early than this program.For example, in the situation of gel candles or pouring-in candle, shown in the dotted line among Fig. 2 A, can candle be injected candelabra 20 at the arbitrary steps of this program.In fact, in the time of in being injected into candelabra 20, candle can be such temperature, that is, make candle self can help or realize heating steps (below will describe).
In the situation that wrap 10 is directly invested candle 25 (Fig. 2 B), preferably candle 25 is located up.This makes and is easy to make wrap 10 location, so that make wrap 10 can not hinder candle wick.This also makes the fusing of during pyrocondensation contingent any little degree minimize for the influence of candle wick.
In case will with 14 or plate 16 be placed on candle 25 or candelabra 20 around, just can this combination be sent in the heating station by any known mechanisms (for example travelling belt), in described heating station, be with 14 or plate 16 by pyrocondensation (step SA (3) and SB (3)) on candle 25 or candelabra 20.This heating station can supply heat, dry air; Heat, wet air or steam; Or the sequential combination of warm air and steam.In order to prevent wrinkle and the bubble in the final wrap 10 with mode the best well known in the art, described continuous combination is preferred.Yet, it should be noted, make in the time of on putting on substrate that in wrap forming wrinkle and bubble can obtain interesting and the visual effect that changes.For example, add the range estimation degree of depth and variation, can produce 3-D effect for such irregularity of product.For example, the PET film with above-mentioned thickness and shrinkage character constitute have above mention size be with 14, and have in the situation of printing pattern thereon with 14, with 14 stand four successive heat, dry air station (depending on application), each is about 1 to 2 second under about 100 to 400 temperature, preferably about 300 to 400 °F), stand air-flow station (arriving about 3 to 5 seconds under the pressure of 15psi) then about 5.
According to the concrete size and the characteristic of wrap film and candle or candelabra, can change quantity, order, exposure duration and the intensity of heating station in a known way.
In case finished pyrocondensation, if necessary, being ready to candle 25 with when packing, when being positioned over candle 25 in the candelabra 20 (step SA (4)), candle 25 or candelabra 20 that available conventional blast drier or other known mechanical dryings are wrapped up.
