Abstract

Candle comprises a wick, a fuel material and a protection disc, which represents a plate arranged in a bottom portion of the candle and is integrated into the fuel material. Independent claims are included for: (1) a protection disc consisting of aluminum or another non-combustible material; and (2) manufacturing a candle comprising filing a pressing pipe with the fuel material and withdrawing a wick guide pipe with wick internally clamped in a defined path into the pressing pipe, where a wick end moves in downwards within the filled fuel material before pressing the candle base in the pressing operation.

Description

The invention relates to candles, in particular pillar candles, and a method for producing such a candle, wherein the candle has a burner body, a centrally mounted wick, and a Durchbrandschutz in the lower part of the candle.

The candles are manufactured essentially on presses using suitable fuel in powder, granule or lozenge form.

The candles can be used standing alone on candle lights, or in floral arrangements such as Advent wreaths.

From the burning of candles in the home is basically a danger from improper use, by repelling or by putting up inappropriate places and documents.

In particular, however, there is a risk when using the candles in arrangements, Advent wreaths and the like,

In many cases, the decorative material, which is flammable in most cases, extends well beyond the foot area of the candles.

When burned, the flame of the burning candle naturally comes closer and closer to the flammable parts of the arrangement, which increases the risk of spreading the fire.

State of the art

Different methods are known for solving this problem, as in EP 1 972 682 B1 proposed by a cup of incombustible material is introduced into the candle.

However, this has the disadvantage that the consumer surprisingly appears in the burning candle a tealight cup used in practice.

Another solution is from Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2006 007 864 A1 known.

The candle described therein comprises a candle plate, which is arranged in the region of the base of the candle.

The candle plate is plate-shaped round and provided with a border.

A disadvantage of this known prior art is in particular that the barely perceptible border is unable to prevent the flow of the burning wick residue from the candle dish on a pad.

Therefore, candle attaching devices containing a holder, a candle plate and a plug pin have been developed ("Safe Stick Candle" of Richard Wenzel GmbH & Co. KG, Aschaffenburg, Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2006 030 123 A1 ).

In this candle fixing device, a wick holder prevents the wick from falling in the liquid fuel with almost complete burning of the candle.

Furthermore, a raised edge of the holder prevents leakage of the liquid fuel at the end of the candle burn time.

Through both the self-extinction of the candle is reached at the end of the burning time and the emergence of a fire avoided, so that the fastening device including candle without fire risk can also be placed on or in flammable carrier.

The disadvantage, however, on the one hand, that this unit of plug pin and candle plate causes high costs in production.

Furthermore, the candle plate is to be fastened together with the pin before use on the candle and it will be an additional step to attach the candle plate required.

Finally, the use of the candle fixing device is limited to candles with a special cutout for receiving the raised holder edge so that the consumer is forced to resort to the more expensive candles because of the additional generation of the cutout compared to others.

task

Object of the present invention is to ensure a self-extinguishing the flame of candles near the end of the burning time on or in flammable carriers without having to attach a candle plate to the candle, which is visible in the use of the candle.

Furthermore, it should be prevented that the wick does not come into direct contact with the candle base, for example the Advent wreath, and can ignite it.

invention

The object is achieved by a candle, in which initially, by suitable control of the candle press, the wick is introduced into the candle so that the wick end ends within the candle in a well-defined distance from the candle bottom.

It can thus be ensured that the wick does not reach to the bottom of the candle.

When burning the candle, the wick loses its hold at a predetermined distance from the ground, so that it falls into the liquid fuel mass and extinguished.

Furthermore, a disc is introduced as an additional burn-through protection made of non-combustible material at a defined distance from the candle bottom.

This burnout shield may be a thin aluminum disc or similar disc of non-combustible material.

The combination of the two elements ensures that the candle extinguishes at an adjustable distance from the candle base and thus reliably extinguished in arrangements and advent wreaths, in which the combustible decoration material protrudes laterally beyond the candle bottom.

The candles can be coated as usual with a dip, the Durchbrennschutzscheibe is not visible from the outside.

The through-penetration plate used consists of a preferably round plate of non-combustible material, as drawn in the attached drawing no. Z1.

For centering within the candle, the plate has at least 3 small bars.

Since the plate must be pressed in the plug body, the size of the round part of the plate is appropriate to choose depending on the candle diameter

The burn-through protective pane is preferably made of aluminum.

The use of aluminum ensures that a low material cost for the production of the candle plate is required because aluminum is very thin ausaltsbar because of its high extensibility.

Aluminum is also because of its high ductility with connector material, such. As fastening pins, easy to pierce.

These wire pens are often used in the making of Advent wreaths and arrangements to attach the candles to the ground.

However, the burnout shield may also be made of another refractory material.

The burn-through shield may also include an embossment, as well as punched or Bohrrangen to increase the adhesion of the Durchbrennschutzscheibe in the candle.

Through the breakthroughs a better bond between the candle and Durchbrennschutzscheibe is ensured.

Thus, the cuts or breakthroughs cause adhesion between the fuel above and below the burnout shield, resulting in an intimate bond between the burnout shield and the candle ground.
