candle

The innovation concerns candles, which are usually called "wax candles" and the manufacture of which has long been well known, the aim of the innovation is to create an improved device to make candles very useful and in one To be able to offer a novel shape, the novel candle design having many advantages over conventional candles, in particular with regard to convenient storage and good transport under changing conditions.

The innovation creates a candle design, which essentially consists of a low metal container in the manner of a can, which is hermetically sealed, and in the container is a candle wick or several candle wicks in paraffin wax or the like. In the bottom part of the container so that after cutting open the container the candle wicks can be lit If the lid of the container is not completely removed, it can be flipped up and serve as a reflector and windshield . Preferably , at least three candle wicks are provided in the wax in the container , and these wicks are equidistant from one another arranged and are then almost in the middle between the circumference and the center of the container, which has a cylindrical shape.

Another feature of the innovation is to ignite the

Candle wicks preferably a matchbox in enclosed in the container, in the space between the Wax and the top surface of the container · If the container is cut open, one can immediately use the candle Light the matches, the matches are in perfect condition as they are protected in the container regardless of atmospheric and other: influences that could make the matches unusable, if they were not protected by the inclusion in the candle holder ^

Further advantages and details of the innovation emerge from the description of an exemplary embodiment which now follows referring to the drawing. In this shows:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a candle according to the invention in a transportable and storage condition;

FIG. 2 shows a sectional view along the line II-II in FIG. 2, FIG. and

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device according to FIG Innovation in the state of use.

In the drawings, a candle according to the innovation is shown, it consists of a cylindrical metal can 1 in the manner of a can with a lid 2 "The can 1 can be manufactured by known methods. Before the cover 2 is applied, the can 1 is preferred Way filled with paraffin wax 3 between 2/3 and 4/5 of its height, whereby the wax used is a normal wax common in the manufacture of candles. The wax is poured into the can in a hot, molten state, and before the wax solidifies, one or more candle wicks 4 are attached to a metal anchor part 5 and placed in the can, the length of the wick being so chosen that , when the anchor part touches down on the bottom of the Büohse, the other end of the wick or the

Wicks protrude above the surface of the wax. Sas wax naturally solidifies when cooled to normal temperature. In the embodiment shown, there are three such wicks 4 shown, and the anchor part 5 has the shape of an equilateral triangle, and the wicks 4 are close to the Triangle points.

Preferably, the bottom of the jug 1 is provided with a cruciform concentric recess or groove 6 and if the radius of this jug is almost the same is the distance between a tip of the triangle of the anchor part 5 and its heta center, the anchor part comes to lie centrally in the bushing, with the lower ends of the wicks knotted at the bottom come to lie in the socket 6 (as can be seen from FIG. 2), so that the centering of the anchor part is simplified Bille 6 is preferably about half the diameter of the sleeve, while the depth of the sleeve is also i; is preferably approximately half its diameter, the durometer measuring GewoJmlioh θ om · An additional wick (not shown) can be placed in the middle if so desired «The wicks can also contain a fine wire core or other stiffening material to keep them stable and stiff in an upright position ·

When the box 1 has been prepared in the manner described above, it is ready to be closed and sealed, but advantageously you can put a matchbook or box 7 ^{in a} box on the wax beforehand. The lid 2 can then be applied and hermetically sealed on the hand with the can, as is well known. The top surface of the lid is marked in a conventional manner to distinguish it from the bottom. In the embodiment shown, this can

Identification can be made by arranging a groove 8 in the lid 2, this groove 8 having a larger diameter than the groove 6. The article is now ready for storage or transport and as long as it is not heated to the melting point of the wax, the The contents of the can permanently received and ready for immediate use, and when needed, the can is cut open around the periphery of the lid in a manner that is common when opening a can of office food.

Preferably, the cover 2 is not completely separated from the body of the can, but a narrow strip 9 of the metal is not cut through so that the cover can be bent upwards at a right angle to the upper edge of the can and thus as a reflector and a windshield for the candle flames is used when the wicks have been lit, as can be seen clearly from Figure 3

The candle, which is designed according to the present innovation, provides a uniform lighting due to the three equidistant flames, which is reinforced by the reflector and] has a burning time of several hours, compared to the burning time of a so-called "night light". The Vorriehtur ^ can not only be used for lighting purposes, but also for heating a boiler or the like, which is held over the flame or flames a symmetrical, geometrical arrangement order, if desired · the device according to the innovation is in particular ⁿ as articles as part of or supplement in "survival equipment, or for a camping equipment and for general Stats Humor * ASES suitable and useful but may also for many common uses where candlelight is required
