Name: candle

The invention relates to a candle which consists of a wax body and a wick.

Such candles have long been known and are used in a wide variety of forms. One of the forms concerns a relatively slim design that comes in different sizes as an Advent wreath candle, Weilinacht tree candle, household candle and also as an altar candle and the like is. Regardless of the respective use, -2S comes against End to a more or less pronounced melting of the candle, often with a strong continued burning in one Wachssee is connected. If there is flammable material near the candle holder or the candle holder itself made of combustible material is fundamental

given an increased risk of fire. This is especially true
Dimensions for conifers decorated with candles, because of their
essential oils can burn up explosively when dry.

It is therefore the object of the invention to create a candle of the type mentioned at the beginning in which the uncontrolled lowering

To solve this problem, the invention proposes that
near the lower end an access barrier for liquid wax
is arranged to the wick.

By the measure according to the invention, the ascent of

liquid wax on the wick as a result of the capillary action

ί prevented a point in time when the external shape of the

Candle is still completely intact and not already through the
Warming of the candle holder their shape to a part or \

has completely lost. As a result of the access lock ί the flame disappears with a slight smoke development as a result of the; smoldering wick, as if a lack of oxygen or, for example, contamination of the wick by water were the cause
of going out.

A non-combustible residue remains in the case of a candle according to the invention, but this is not inferior
compared to conventional candles, because with responsible
Dealing with conventional candles, so-called candle stubs remain similar to those that have so far been created by voluntarily extinguishing the candle. However, the invention guarantees i this process almost automatically as a function of the security.! distance from the end of the candle.

However, then by the staff as good as no longer over-monitored. Here are primarily restaurants and bars but of course also public buildings

and department stores, for example, during Advent.

The access block can take a wide variety of forms. For example, a tube can surround the wick from the desired point of erasure down to the lower end, * " or the wick is replaced to the lower end from this point by a wire or the like, for example also through a strand of fiberglass. Finally, metal disks or other non-flammable bodies can attach the wick to the Surrounding the point of extinction, taking care that the wick is not at the desired point of extinction is unguided, i.e. either continued, but deprived of its nourishment, or is continued by an incombustible one Material. Only then is the requirement met that the candle goes out without any changes affecting the shape.

Embodiments of the invention, which are shown in the drawing, are explained in more detail below; in the Drawing show:

Figures 1 to 4 four different embodiments of a candle according to the Invention.

In Figures 1 to 4, four different candles are formed according to the invention, which basically consist of one Wax body 1 and consist of a wick.

In the Ausführungsbexspiel according to Figure 1, the wick is surrounded in its lower quarter by a tube 3, which for example from tinfoil, from a non-flammable mass applied by dipping or spraying

or also made of plastic, as far as these temperatures up to <5 about 200 ^ C, without escaping harmful gases or burn yourself. It is only important that the access of the liquid wax to the wick inside the Tube 3 is blocked for a short time. In a departure from the illustration, the tube 3 can also be selected to be shorter in which case a tube approximately 0.8 to 1.0 cm long is located approximately in the lower quarter of the wax body 1.

The use of a tube 3 in a candle according to the invention is particularly advantageous because also after threading a wick into a candle molding machine the tube can be pushed into the correct position when it rests against the wick with a slight clamping contact.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the access lock consists of a disc 5, which consists of Made of ceramic or metal. Because the disc heats up when the candle burns down, and so does the wax underneath slightly melts, there is a thickening 4 below the disk 5, for example by a knot in which wick 2 is formed. For better fixation during casting, a thickening can also be made above the disk 5 be provided, for example also formed by a node. In the formation of the candle according to this embodiment, there is one shortly before the candle goes out slight drop formation, but not so strong that one could speak of a loss of shape of the candle.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, the lower part of the candle below the wax body 1 consists of a ceramic body 6, through which the wick 2 in turn for reasons of stability runs through completely. Deviating from the illustration, a disk-like design of the ceramic body is sufficient 6 on the side facing the wax body 1, while

~ 5 -

the lower part then consists of a cheap filler material. This embodiment is a candle holder comparable, but with the wick its middle and upright position even with completely melted wax maintains.

While in the embodiments described above, the wick 2 extends over the entire length extending the candle, in the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the actual wick extends from the burning point the candle only up to a seam 8, to which a wire 7 or a fiberglass strand is connected. In any case the seam 8 is designed so that the wick 2 and the wire 7 form a unit, that is, the wick 2 when it burns the candle cannot tip over up to this point. This embodiment shows a similar behavior like the one according to FIG. 1, since no foreign bodies are present within the candle, i.e. absorb heat and become one lead to disproportionate melting of the wax.
