Definitions

• the present invention refers to a method for joining together moulded stearine candle halves as well as a device for carrying out the method.
• Stearine candles are today made by dipping or moulding.
• the object of the invention has primarily been to achieve a more rational manufacturing of stearine candles and similar products of the kind referred to.
• Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a first step in the stearine candle p duction according to the invention.
• Fig. 2 illustrates a second step in this stearine candle production
• Fig. 3 a third step in said manufacturing.
• Fig. 5 shows a second method for guiding the wick
• Fig. 6 a third method for the same purpose.
• Fig. 7 schematically shows a first method for heating a heating means used in the manufacturing process
• Fig. 9 shows a third method for the same purpose.
• Fig. 10 shows a stearine candle with substantially square section as well as the parts in a joining zone
• Fig. 11 shows a conical stearine candle with the parts in a joining zon and
• Fig. 12 finally, shows a tetrahedral ly shaped candle with the parts in a joining zone.
• a stearine candle is manufactured which com- prises two or more moulded stearine candle halves surrounding a wick
• the stearine halves in a first manufacturing step are so oriented relative to each other and relative to a heating means in the shape of a plate or disk that they turn substantially planar joining surfaces towards each other with said joining surfaces at a distance from each other that substantially corresponds to the thickness of the the heating means and in such alignment that said joining surfaces when the stearine candle halves are displaced to and beyond th heating means in a second manufacturing step will slide against opposit directed surfaces of the heating means and thereby receive adhesive pro perties, that a wick is applied between said stearine candle halves and that the stearine candle halves in a third manufacturing step are press against each other such that the adhesive surfaces will adhere to each other while holding the wick.
• Means not shown are provided to locate the candle halves 2a ,2b in such a manner in relation to each other that they turn two substantially planar joining surfaces 3a,3b towards each other with said joining sur- faces 3a,3b located at a distance from each other perpendicular to the tion of the arrow which substantially corresponds to the thickness of a heating means k , which in the exemplifying embodiment consists of an up ended heated plate.
• the plate is located in a plane parallell to and located between the planes through the joining surfaces 3a,3b.
• a wick in the shape of a continuous material string 5 is carried through an opening 6 penetratin the plate h .
• the method further offers the advantage th he can work with candle halves moulded by the stearine manufacturer whi means that the material except for the melting which takes place in th join layers need not be melted respectively stiffen which brings forth considerable savings in time.
• Fig. k illustrates the method described in connection with the embodi ⁇ ment according to figures 1-3 inclusive, i.e. the wick 5 is threaded through a through hole 6 in the plate 4. According to ig. 5 the wick is fed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the arrow and is deflected at one end of the plate h . In the embodiment according to fig. 6 finally the wick 5 is threaded through a groove 10 in the plate k .
• the heating means may comprise heating coils 7 for the heating.
• the heating means consists of a plate, which is being heated by means of heat radiation from heating lamps 8a,8b and in the embodiment according to fig. 9 the heating means is in the shape of a plate 4, which is connected to a heated lower plate 9.
• Fig. 10 shows in a transverse section a square candle 11, which has been made from two triangular halves 12a,12b.
• Fig. 11 shows a conical candle 13, which is made from two halves 1 a and 14b respectively and fig. 12 shows a pyramide-shaped candle 15, made from two tetrahedron-shaped halves.
• adheresive in this case means that the candle halves when heated will receive such properties that they by being pressed against each other will be joined together, which usually occurs by welding.
