Description

The invention relates to a cup for tealight "tv, Sacrificial candles, grave candles and party lights for recording

of pressed, liquid and semi-liquid paraffin and for fixing the wick.

The aforementioned conventional lights consist of paraffin with wicks inserted into metal inserts. When the lights burn, these inserts are known to become very hot. The contact surfaces used can be damaged or ignited.

Furthermore, the known lights have the disadvantage that the wick is not centrally held in the paraffin, so that the heat cannot be distributed evenly. There are also known containers for the paraffin in which the paraffin core with wick is inserted without a metal container. Here too, the problem of fixing the wick arises. If these containers are slightly bumped into, the paraffin core shifts, so that it burns off at an angle from the center and the uneven heat distribution damages the container.

Particularly with sacrificial candles, it has been shown that a light can be lit by holding it at an angle over an already burning sacrificial candle. In this case, the paraffin core falls out of the container, as there are no fastening devices for the paraffin core.

Another disadvantage of the known lights with containers is that they are not accessible for recycling due to their nature, as residual paraffin always remains in the container and this can only be removed by

In the interior molding , the wall 2 is shown broken open and the bottom 3 is cut.

The wall 2 surrounds the base 31, which has a thickening 3a in the center and an inclined surface 3b pointing towards the center. A special feature of the invention is that the thickening 3a is drawn downwards relative to the inclined surface 3b, so that the fixing elements 4 arranged in the center and functioning to center the wick 5 or the wick profile S ϳ (5 and 6 not shown) are aligned in the recess 9 of the center of the base.

The inclined surface 3b according to the invention promotes the flow of the molten paraffin towards the center so that it can burn completely.

Another special feature of the invention is that an annular space 10 is formed between the fixing elements 4 and the inclined surface 3b, which promotes an optimal heat distribution, i.e. the heat generation that is most present in the center is cooled in the annular space 10, so that the thin inclined surfaces 3b are less exposed to heat.

In this embodiment, the wall 2 is provided with vertical webs 7. Depending on the application or intended use or assembly method, the arrangement of the webs 7 is omitted.

In the center, between the inner sides Ma of the fixing elements ¹ I, an additional recess 12 is provided.

Figure 3 shows a top view of Figure 2. This is the embodiment as already explained in Figure 1. In this illustration, the wave-shaped design of the base 15 is clearly visible. Also the locking tips 13 on the fixing elements 4, which are used to grip into the paraffin.

The fixing elements 4 are arranged radially in the center, being spaced apart from one another by gaps 8. The thickened base 3" drawn downwards is also clearly visible, with its inclined surface 3b and its thickening 3a visible here. The annular space 10 can be seen between the fixing element 4 and the inclined surface 3b. The wick 5 with wick plate 6 is held and centered by the fixing elements 4.

Figure 7 shows an embodiment of the cup 1, where the wall 2 does not function as a base, but instead of this formation, displaced towards the center, support knobs 16 are arranged in a circle.

The present invention provides a cup which accommodates the aforementioned elements in such a way that the wick is always fixed centrally and thus an even heat distribution is achieved. This means that the cups, which are preferably made of plastic, will no longer burn through. The structural design ensures that the paraffin burns completely. In particular, the cup according to the invention can be equipped mechanically with the paraffin core and the corresponding wick with or without wick plates in such a way that the wick is always centrally positioned within the cup, thereby eliminating the risks described above.
