Abstract

Candle mold (1) with a one-piece closed jacket (2) a heat-resistant, elastic material and a floor (6), characterized in that the floor (6) a metal plate (7) which is designed to rest on one ordinary stove plate to be heated to solid wax pieces in the Kerzengießform (1) melt.

Description

The The invention relates to a candle mold with a jacket made of a heat-resistant, elastic material.

Candle Molds with a sheath of elastic material are known and serve to be filled with melted wax. The wick is thereby "suspended" between the floor and the opening. After curing, the wax can be used according to the Form trained candle to be removed.

So is out of the DE 203 18 362 U1 a mold for making tea lights, the mold being made of a polymeric or metallic material and having a removable pin as a placeholder for wick.

Also from the US 4,022,862 and the JP 6240291 such as JP 8183991 are corresponding industrial Kerzengießformen of polymeric elastic material, such. As silicone known. These forms are essentially made with a one-piece shell, ie seamless, and have only at one end an opening for the wick.

From the US 20008/0036116 A1 as well as the US 3,974,996 are known, but their mantle either multi-part or not suitable for seamless production of candles, since it consists of a rolled sheet, the ends of which are placed together.

These mentioned candle molds have all in common that in another container or device the wax must first be melted to liquidify this Insert mold into the candle molds.

From the US 7,284,741 B2 On the other hand, a candle-melting system with a candle mold of solid and rigid material is known in that wax remnants of old candles can be melted to make a new candle. This candle mold is placed in a container that provides the heat as hot water. The rigid candle mold has a heat exchange plate on the bottom which is intended both for faster cooling of the mold and for transfer of heat into the mold. This heat exchange plate has a ribbed design, so that the heat exchange between the hot water and the environment is improved due to the larger surface.

Indeed is also in this candle mold next to the actual Shape of the container for melting or providing the Heat of fusion necessary, which additionally exists have to be.

task The present invention is therefore a candle mold with an elastic sheath to provide in the wax residue melted down to make a new candle in a private household can be without a second separate device is necessary.

These The object is achieved by the recited in claim 1 Kerzengießform solved.

Thereby, that the floor comprises a metal plate which is adapted to to be heated on an ordinary stove top, to add solid wax pieces in the candle mold Melt, the candle mold can without additional Wax-melting agents are used.

wax residue are simply placed in the candle mold and these heated on a stove until the wax melted is. Then you put the candle mold set aside and let the wax harden.

Of the Cloak may have a narrowed bottom opening, by an inwardly projecting circumferential bridge and a Breakthrough is formed, and the bottom of a second metal plate which is applied from the inside to the bridge, and the first Metal plate is applied from the outside to the bridge, so that the metal plates enclose the bridge and the breakthrough between them.

Consequently can the z. B. made of silicone coat separately from the metal parts and assembly remains easy.

Preferably For example, the first metal plate includes a breakthrough adapted projecting area so that they are at the bottom opening in the assembled state is aligned with the second metal plate can be connected.

The first metal plate may have a flat and smooth underside, for a good thermal conductivity or transmission to ensure.

In According to one embodiment, the first metal plate via the projecting portion with the second metal plate fixed, preferably by welding, be connected.

The Candle mold or the jacket can be any cross section have, for. B. a square, triangular, round, oval, hexagonal or asymmetrical cross-section, so that a variety is available from candle shapes.

The metal plates are then at the respective Adjusted cross-section of the jacket.

In order to the coat does not touch the stove, may be the first Metal plate laterally opposite the cross section of the shell be extended and / or their ends can be angled be so that the coat is surrounded. Thus, silicone residues avoided on the stove.

Around insert the wick or position it before pouring, This one is initially at one end with a metal ring and then with the other end through pulled thin metal tube, including the other end with an eyelet which is gripped with a hook of a pull wire. The metal tube has about a length, the length of the jacket corresponds.

At the Pouring the metal tube remains with the wick in it Coat and the metal tube is after a short Aushärtphase pulled out of the still soft "raw candle", as soon as form first solidification points, especially on the ground. Then keeps the wick "by itself".

While the casting becomes the pull wire, which passes through the eyelet of the wick, on the upper edge of the mantle filed and stops with appropriate choice of length of the wick so in position until the metal tube pulled out will (see above).

Further Details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent the following description of exemplary embodiments based on the drawing, in the

1 shows a schematic view of a longitudinal section through a candle mold with square cross-section in the exploded view;

2 to 4 a schematic perspective view of the Kerzengießform 1 when preparing to pour and insert the wick.

In the figures is a candle mold 1 shown with square cross-section and oblong shape. It is understood that other cross sections and shapes are possible within the scope of the invention.

The candle mold 1 includes an elongated jacket 2 with an upper opening 3 and a reduced compared to the cross section lower opening 4 Made of heat resistant silicone. Optionally, other materials with appropriate properties can be used.

The lower opening 4 is by an inwardly projecting circumferential web 5 and a breakthrough 9 educated.

The candle mold also has a bottom 6 on, the present of two metal plates 7 and 8th consists.

The first metal plate 7 is the outer dimensions of the cross-section of the shell 2 adapted and also has a square shape, but with respect to this laterally at the ends or edges 17 extended and angled up there, leaving the coat 2 cup-shaped is recorded accurately.

The second metal plate 8th is the internal dimensions of the cross-section of the jacket 2 adapted and also has a square shape. The dimensions are chosen so that the metal plate 8th in the coat 2 is pressed to assemble the candle mold.

The second metal plate 8th is from the inside to the dock 5 put on and the first metal plate 7 from the outside to the footbridge 5 created so that the metal plates 7 . 8th the ground 6 forming the narrowed lower opening 4 or their breakthrough 9 and inwardly projecting web 5 sealing between them.

The first metal plate 7 has a central projecting area 10 on, which protrudes so far that the material thickness of the shell 2 in the region of the inwardly projecting web 5 reached and the second metal plate 8th contacted in the assembled state.

The two metal plates 7 and 8th are firmly joined together after assembly by welding. This will be the first metal plate 7 at the central projecting area 10 with the second metal plate 8th welded.

The lead 10 also serves the second inner metal plate 8th thermally with the first metal plate 7 to pair. Thus, the heat from the stove plate to the first metal plate 7 and then on the second metal plate 8th be transferred, despite the partially intervening inwardly projecting web 5 who like the coat 2 Made of heat poorly conductive silicone.

If the lead 10 in addition to the breakthrough 9 adjusted, it serves to align the first metal plate 7 on the coat 2 when assembling.

To the wick 11 Introduce or position before pouring, this is first to ei nem end with a metal ring 12 and then with the other end through a thin metal tube 13 pulled, to which the other end with a loop 14 is provided with a hook 15 a pull wire 16 is seized. The metal pipe 13 has about a length corresponding to the length of the shell.

When pouring (indicated by arrow G in 4 ) the metal tube remains 13 with the wick 11 in the coat 2 and the metal tube 13 is pulled out of the still soft "raw candle" only after a short Aushärtphase, as soon as, especially on the ground 6 to form first freezing points. Then the wick stops 11 "by itself".

During casting G becomes the pull wire 16 by the eyelet 14 the wick 11 is guided, on the upper edge of the coat 2 filed and holds with appropriate choice of the length of the wick 11 put it in position until the metal tube 13 is pulled out (see above).
