Lothar Oberjat, 6960 Osterburken, Wannestrasse 2 Decorative candle for lighting.

The innovation concerns a decorative candle for lighting purposes with a decoratively designed surface.

For decades, in the countries of the European-American culture, at least in their industrialized countries, Candles are only occasionally used for lighting purposes, either as a makeshift, for example in the event of a failure of the electric current, or else and on a much larger scale on special occasions of a festive nature As a single or additional light source · With this use, the original material purpose occurs behind the motif of creating an environment and creating a

there
festive mood, generally the candlelight is given a festive or atmospheric character.

This intended use has in the course of recent development social life experienced a significant upswing. It is obvious that many specially designed for this Candles are used which either differ from the generally usual slim cylinder shape Design, or through a decorative surface design for their special purpose. Such surface designs can, for example, be defined pictorial ornaments that are either mechanically created by matrices or Casting molds, or they can be produced individually by hand and mostly have church motifs; have next to it more recently decorative candles as products of various manufacturing processes have found their way onto the market, the surface design of which results automatically as a process-related random result and is subject to targeted intervention largely withdrawn to create a defined design *

The object of the invention is to provide a decorative candle for lighting purposes with a decorative surface design create, which is characterized by special new jewelry effects, but their production is technically simple and is associated with low costs. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the jewelry candle in the candle mass of the annular space between the wick impregnated with candle mass or one serving as a wick carrier Core (stump) and the outer surface embedded, by melting out lumpy displacement bodies from at lower Temperature than the candle mass melting material has formed cavities, which are a more or less coherent Form a network. The cavities that remain after the melting displacement bodies have drained away correspond roughly to the shape and size of the displacement body at the moment of filling the candle mass. Her

superficial appearance conveys a peculiar, An impressive sight that differs from all previously known decorative candles · This also occurs when the candle burns special new effects, as the melted candle mass, different from all known candles, mainly due to the existing cavities, which are often connected to one another stand in connection, flows off and appears at some point on the outer surface. Also mediates Candle due to its considerably changing wall thickness in the area illuminated by the flame, which changes peculiarly Lighting effects.

If the candle directly without a core in the form of a stump is poured around the bare wick, it must of course be well impregnated with candle compound in order to To prevent the ingress of water, which would later extremely disturb the candle fire.

The displacers are preferably made of ice that solidifies immediately when the candle mass is poured into it caused by the contact zone. The displacement body can also consist of a low temperature, for example below 30 ° fusible organic substance exist, the selection must be made carefully, however, as they are in melted state must not be miscible with the candle mass. Displacement bodies can also have solid carbonic acid (so-called "dry ice") can be used.

It is part of the innovation, displacer bodies with a uniform, regular shape, ζ. B. Balls of the same size to use. Since these are arranged in so-called spherical packing in the form of a candle, candle formations are approximately created here spherical cavities of the same size and spaced apart, with the outer surface only approximately circular openings of approximately the same size and more regular

Arrangement shows

The taste of the present time corresponds more to a surface with a random design. Small-sized displacement bodies of irregular shape and size _1, such as a minced egg, are used to produce them. The resulting cavities and their openings to the outside are completely random, so that each individual piece has an individual, non-repeatable design.

In the drawing are embodiments of the innovation Decorative candle shown namely:

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment in side view, partly in vertical section;

Figure 2 shows a second embodiment in the same way of representation

Both embodiments consist of a core or stump 4 carrying the wick, which is connected by one thick cylindrical casing body 6 is surrounded, the outer boundary surface is designed in a particularly decorative way.

The candle shown in Figure 1 points on its outer surface (bottom right) at regular intervals from one another small circular openings A, which open inwardly to form larger approximately spherical cavities 10. These are created by the fact that the annular space in which the casing body 6 is formed, first loaded with ice balls of the appropriate size and then the candle mass was poured in. The ice balls are stored in a tight ball packing,

where they only touch the wall of the mold at one point, so to speak. As a result of the immediately occurring at the point of contact When melting, the contact points become too small Discs whose diameter determines that of the openings 8 remaining after the ice has melted. In the same The size, shape and arrangement of the spherical cavities 10 formed are determined by size, shape and arrangement of the ice balls that were originally there. Since the cutting plane these cavities do not roughly coincide cuts along their "equator" but along the most varied of "degrees of latitude" are, as in Figure 1, upper left part, shown, the cut surfaces of the cavities of course different sizes, while vice versa the openings 8, when formed from the contact points of the balls, must be of the same size.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, however, was Chopped ice in random fragments is used to form the cavities. Accordingly, both are the recesses 12 visible on the outer surface, as well as the cavities 14 located inside, are completely random in terms of shape, size and arrangement.
