Description

The present invention relates to an ornamental flower wreath with integrated fire retardant, preferably made of flame retardant Plastic or other suitable material Security cylinder, which is optionally available in one Candlestick inserted commercial candle pushed on or as an independent flat decoration with inserted Candle safely with lit and completely burning Candle can be used.

One under the German Gebr.-M.-Nr. G 88 14 175.6 became known So-called. Security cylinder has the disadvantage that it subsequently as an additional safety part via the respective Candle must be inserted into the flower wreath and thus it is left to the consumer to decide whether or not to add one purchased security cylinder used or not. The buyer or consumer is even used by some flower wreath manufacturers and distributors using one on the flower wreaths Attached note "Not with a lit candle use "informed about a possible danger to the to transfer full liability in the event of damage to the consumer.

The object of the invention is to provide a decorative flower wreath design that eliminates all the deficiencies listed above and thus the highest level of security with regard to fire risk guaranteed.

According to the invention this object is solved by the respective individual flowers with leaves etc. pinned to a flower wreath on the produced on the circumferential outer surface of a flammable from hard plastic or other suitable material safety cylinder mounted receiving pins 1.2, fig. 1-9 and thereby selectively flower wreath arranged in one or more rows is kept away from the candle flame.

Flower wreath and security cylinder form a sales and buyer unit with predetermined maximum possible security for the end user.

Through the ventilation and cooling slots 1.1 , Fig. 1-9 of the security cylinder, the warm air that is created is discharged upwards in the chimney principle. So that the flower wreath does not come into direct contact with the outer wall of the security cylinder, several cooling and spacing ribs 1.4 , Fig. 8 u. 9 attached that taper towards the top.

In the lower inner area of the security cylinder there are 3 centering and holding knobs 1.3 , Fig. 1-9, which hold the candle in the middle and give the candle an additional hold.

The manufacturing cost of such a new flower wreath with integrated security cylinder are not essential higher than the previously known on a ring deferred flower wreaths with completely missing  Safety precautions, whereby the possibly attached hazard warning the possibility with a small trailer by no means excludes that the consumer anyway light the candle in the flower wreath and thus a new one Damage is almost preprogrammed.

The manufacturing conditions for manufacturing a Decorative flower wreath with integrated security cylinder and a previous flower wreath are approximately the same.
