Definitions

  • the invention relates to a candle with a floating wick, the density of which is less than the weight of the displaced liquefied candle burning mass, which is composed of a wick holder (2), a wick (3) made of an incombustible material and a floating body (4) and on the underside of which a guide means is arranged in the center, as well as a method for their production.
  • candles with a wick are known, in which the wick holder consists of a sinkable material, so that the wick holder, after softening of the candle wax, sinks downwards through the candle flame in the candle body.
  • the wick holder is inserted into the wax by a downward-pointing one
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a candle with a floating wick in a simple manner so that the floating wick is guided essentially along the vertical central axis of the candle body 5 and shows a constant flame pattern even after a long burning time or repeated lighting.
  • the guide means is a guide body which can be pulled apart in the direction of the candle axis, one end of which is attached to the underside of the floating wick and the other end of which can be lowered into the liquefied candle burning mass.
  • the Q pull-apart guide body can be a helical spring wound from a thin wire or a zigzag folded plastic band.
  • the guide body is advantageously a spiral cut from a film. The growing from the attachment to the 5 floating wick to the outside Windings of the spiral sink under their own weight or under an additional weight into the liquefied candle burning mass, without exerting a tensile effect on the floating wick that exceeds the buoyancy.
  • the spiral is designed in such a way that it always sits with its outer turns in a pulled-apart state at the transition zone between the liquefied wax bowl and the solid candle body and constantly follows this transition zone. In this way the floating wick is held in the middle of the candle body.
  • a uniform heat distribution from the candle flame to the candle burning mass can be achieved in that the floating body has on its upper side a coating which absorbs the candle burning mass and is made of a heat-conducting, non-combustible material.
  • the coating is formed from a double-layer metal foil or from a thin metal foil and a wire mesh arranged above it.
  • the cover can protrude laterally over the floating body with a pulled-down edge.
  • the coating is immersed in the liquefied candle burning mass and conveys additional burning mass to the wick by capillary action.
  • the wire mesh arranged on the top serves as a small reservoir for the fuel. This reservoir accelerates and facilitates the ignition process.
  • the wick holder can have two wick fastenings arranged symmetrically to the candle axis for a bow-shaped wick that dips with its ends into the liquefied candle burning mass.
  • the burning behavior of the arcuate wick can be improved in that the wick holder has a support web which supports the wick on its underside. This will make this
  • the support web can consist of metal foils lying flat against one another, between which the candle burning mass is sucked in by capillary action and thus rises to the underside of the curved wick. Glass fiber, asbestos, wire mesh or metal fiber are suitable as the wick material.
  • the guide body attached to the underside of the floating wick follows as the wax softens
  • the guide body or the spiral can also be arranged in the candle body in an extended state. When the candle burns down, the spiral pulls
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a floating wick with a spiral guide
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a swimming - 5 wick
  • FIG. 4 shows the individual parts of the floating wick according to FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 5 shows a view along section line XI-XI in FIG. 4
  • Q FIG. 6 shows a vertical section through a candle with a modified arrangement of the guide spiral
  • FIG. 8 shows the guide spiral according to FIG. 7 with the windings drawn apart
  • FIG. 9 shows a candle according to FIG. 6 after. it has largely burned down
  • FIG. 10 shows a vertical section through a candle body during the manufacture of a candle according to FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 11 shows a vertical section through a candle body during the manufacture of a candle according to FIG. 6 by a second method.
  • a candle body 10 made of wax, stearin, paraffin or the like.
  • a floating wick which is composed of a wick holder 2, a wick 3 and a floating body 4.
  • This guide body is designed as a spiral, which is attached with its inner winding 17a to the floating wick 2, 3, 4 in the center.
  • the spiral 17 is cut or punched out of a foil-like material, in particular a heat-resistant plastic foil or a metal foil.
  • the float 4 consists for example of 5 cork or foamed plastic and has on it Top of a coating 11 made of a heat-conducting, non-combustible material.
  • This coating -11 is designed such that it receives candle burning mass 5 and feeds it via the support web 2a to the underside of the arcuate wick 3.
  • the coating 11 can either be a double-lying thin metal foil 11a or a wire net 11b with a thin metal foil 11a underneath, the upwardly bent tabs of which lie so close together in the area of the support web 2a that a kind of capillary on the candle burning mass 5 liquefied during the burning process - Or chimney effect is exercised, which provides for an additional supply of candle burning mass 5 to the wick.
  • the spiral 17 in the candle body 1 is pulled apart at least over part of the candle length, so that its lower spiral turn 17b is fixed in the lower third of the candle body 1.
  • the floating wick is guided downwards in the center by the spiral 17 in the candle body 1 in accordance with the sinking of the wax bowl until the transition region 5a has reached the lower spiral turn 17b, whereupon the candle, as shown in FIG. 9, to the end burns.
  • the candle body 1 is provided with a central recess 1a, which penetrates the candle body 1 over part of the candle length. Then the floating wick 2, 3, 4 with the spiral 17 attached to it is lowered to the base 1b of the recess 1a. Then the recess 1a with. liquefied candle burning mass 5b filled in such a way that the floating wick 2, 3, 4 the inner spiral turns 7a as it floats takes to the upper end of the candle body 1, while the outer spiral turns 17b remain at the base 1b of the recess 1a. In the finished candle, the spiral 17 extends from the base 1b of the recess 1a to the upper end of the candle.
  • the candle body 1 is also provided with a central recess 1a, which is filled with liquid candle burning mass 5.
  • the floating wick 2, 3, 4 with the spiral 17 is then placed on the still liquid candle burning mass 5.
  • the spiral 17 is weighted at its lower end 17b by an additional weight 17c. Due to the additional weight 17c, the end 17b in the candle burning mass 5 drops to the bottom 1b of the recess 1a.
  • the spiral 17 then extends from the base 1b of the recess 1a to the upper end of the candle.
  • the additional weight 17c can be designed as a disk, in particular as a perforated disk.

Abstract

Afin de maintenir la mèche flottante au centre du corps de la bougie (1), un organe de guidage qui est extensible en direction de l'axe de la bougie est fixé à sa face inférieure. Cet organe de guidage peut être une spirale (17) en un matériau mince et plat qui suit constamment la région de transition (5a) située entre la cire solide et la cire liquéfiée (5) au moyen de ses spires extérieures (17b).
