Definitions

  • the invention relates to a candle lamp with a cup-shaped container, which has a filling consisting of a candle mass with a wick and preferably a lid with air inlet openings.
  • Such lights are often used as grave lights, but can also be used as lanterns in general, for example in the hospitality industry.
  • the main disadvantage is that the filling does not burn out completely and that usually a candle mass adhering to the container wall in the lower region of the container wall and approximately hollow-conical to the container axis remains in the container, which then is made with the container, which is usually made of plastic is thrown away. In any case, the remains of the candle lamp are not reusable and increase the garbage polluting the environment.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy this deficiency and to improve the candle lamp described at the outset in such a way that a complete burnout of the candle mass in the container is ensured.
  • the invention solves the problem in that the wick is assigned at least one short wick, possibly with different thicknesses and / or impregnation, along the lower third of its length and the wicks are held by clamping tabs of a base plate.
  • the purpose of the bottom plate with the clamping tabs is to prevent the wicks from falling over in the candle mass that is becoming liquid and thus preventing the flame from extinguishing. There then remains an empty container into which a new filling, which is designed as a compact, can be inserted, so that the container can be used again and again, especially if it is made of glass, the disposal of which is ultimately due to its usability as a raw material no problems.
  • a filling made from paraffin, but also from a paraffin-oil or fat combination, can be used as the filling.
  • the wick usually consists of impregnated cotton fibers, the length of the short wick or short wick depending on the composition of the candle mass and the dimensions of the container.
  • a candle insert 2 consisting of a compact is arranged in a cup-shaped glass container 1.
  • the glass container 1 has a lid 3 which has air inlet openings 4.
  • the candle insert 2 is provided with a wick 5 made of cotton fibers.
  • a second wick, that is to say a short wick 6, is arranged adjacent to the lower part of the wick 5.
  • the short wick 6 can also have a greater thickness and / or a different impregnation than the wick 5.
  • wick 5 and short wick 6 can be clamped between punched-out tabs 8 and thus held together or prevented from falling over.

Description

  • Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kerzenleuchte mit einem becherförmigen Behältnis, das eine aus einer Kerzenmasse mit Docht bestehende Füllung und vorzugsweise einen Deckel mit Lufteintrittsöffnungen aufweist.
  • Derartige Leuchten stehen häufig als Grablichter in Verwendung, können aber auch als Windlichter im allgemeinen, beispielsweise in der Gastronomie, gebraucht werden. Bei den bisherigen Leuchten besteht der wesentliche Nachteil, daß die Füllung nicht vollständig ausbrennt und daß in der Regel im Behältnis eine im unteren Bereich der Behältniswand haftende und zur Behälterachse zu etwa hohlkegelig ausgenommene Kerzenmasse verbleibt, die dann mit dem Behältnis, das meist aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, weggeworfen wird. Jedenfalls sind die Reste der Kerzenleuchte nicht wieder verwendbar und vermehren den die Umwelt belastenden Müll.
  • Demnach liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesen Mangel zu beseitigen und die eingangs geschilderte Kerzenleuchte so zu verbessern, daß ein vollständiger Ausbrand der Kerzenmasse im Behältnis gewährleistet ist.
  • Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß dem Docht etwa entlang des unteren Drittels seiner Länge wenigstens ein anliegender Kurzdocht, gegebenfalls mit verschiedener Dicke und/oder Imprägnierung, zugeordnet ist und die Dochte durch Klemmlappen eines Bodenplättchen gehalten sind.
  • Durch den Kurzdocht bzw. die Kurzdochte wird im unteren Bereich des Behältnisses mehr geschmolzene Kerzenmasse der Flamme zugeführt, so daß diese heißer brennt und dann auch die ganze im Behältnis vorhandene Kerzenmasse verbrennt. Dabei hat das Bodenplättchen mit den Klemmlappen die Aufgabe, ein Umfallen der Dochte in der flüssig werdenden Kerzenmasse und damit ein Verlöschen der Flamme zu verhindern. Es bleibt also dann ein leeres Behältnis, in das eine neue Füllung, die als Preßling ausgebildet ist, eingesetzt werden kann, so daß das Behältnis immer wieder verwendbar ist, insbesondere dann, wenn es aus Glas besteht, dessen Entsorgung schließlich wegen der Verwendbarkeit als Rohstoff keine Probleme bereitet. Als Füllung kommt ein Preßling aus Paraffin, aber auch aus einer Paraffin-Öl-bzw.-Fettkombination in Frage. Der Docht besteht in üblicher Weise aus imprägnierten Baumwollefasern, wobei sich die Länge des Kurzdochtes bzw. der Kurzdocht nach der Zusammensetzung der Kerzenmasse sowie den Abmessungen des Behältnisses richtet.
  • In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand beispielsweise dargestellt, und zwar zeigen
    • Fig. 1 eine Kerzenleuchte im Axialschnitt und
    • Fig. 2 den unteren Teil eines Dochtes im größeren Maßstab.
  • In einem becherförmigen Glasbehältnis 1 ist ein aus einem Preßling bestehender Kerzeneinsatz 2 angeordnet. Das Glasbehältnis 1 besitzt einen Deckel 3, der Lufteintrittsöffnungen 4 aufweist. Der Kerzeneinsatz 2 ist mit einem Docht 5 aus Baumwollefasern versehen. Entlang des unteren Teiles des Dochtes 5 ist ein zweiter Docht, also ein Kurzdocht 6, anliegend angeordnet. Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, kann der Kurzdocht 6 auch eine größere Dicke und/oder auch eine andere Imprägnierung als der Docht 5 aufweisen. Mit Hilfe eines dünnen Bodenplättchens 7 aus Blech können Docht 5 und Kurzdocht 6 zwischen ausgestanzten Lappen 8 festgeklemmt und damit zusammengehalten bzw. am Umfallen gehindert werden.
