Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to lighting devices.
- It relates more particularly to a device lighting of the type consisting of a container with walls at the less partially transparent or translucent, this container containing a hot melt fuel incorporating at least one wick, the free end of this wick being likely to be ignited to light.
- Lighting devices of the above type are good known to those versed in this art. They present the advantage, compared to lighting devices classic candle type, to avoid material drips fuel when heated. They also allow to obtain in a simple way devices lighting of various shapes. However, such devices lighting require the use of an amount of significant fuel.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device of the aforementioned type, the design of which significantly reduces the amount of fuel hot melt necessary for the operation of the device.
- the invention relates to a device lighting of the type consisting of a container with walls at the less partially transparent or translucent, this container containing a hot melt fuel incorporating at least one wick, the free end of this wick being capable of being ignited to light, characterized by that the container is partially filled with a liquid non-combustible enclosed in the container by the hot melt fuel forming a plug.
- the non-combustible liquid is a liquid, preferably aqueous, transparent or translucent, colored or not.
- the device lighting, object of the invention consists of a container 1 with at least partially transparent walls or translucent to allow viewing of content of the container.
- This container 1 can affect a large number of shapes.
- this container 1 is consisting of a stemmed glass.
- the material of this container can be glass, plastic or any other material capable of supporting an elevation of temperature.
- This container 1 is partially filled with non-combustible liquid 4.
- This non-combustible liquid 4 is, in the example shown, consisting of water. However, any other generally transparent liquid or translucent, colored or not, could have been used.
- This non-combustible liquid 4 is kept inside the container 1 with a hot melt fuel 2 forming plug.
- This hot melt fuel 2 can be constituted of a gel poured hot on the surface of the liquid 4 to adhere, after cooling, to the walls of container 1.
- This fuel 2 will therefore generally be an elastomer gel hydrophobic based at least on hydrogenated paraffin oil and copolymer products.
- This type of gel is well known in those versed in this art and is notably marketed under the name CANDEL'GEL by CANDELIS SARL.
- the density of fuel 2 is lower than the density of the liquid 4.
- This fuel 2 can still contain at least one odoriferous substance and / or a dye to accentuate the contrast between fuel 2 and non-combustible liquid 4.
- the container 1 can finally contain a solid 5 to reduce the amount of liquid 4 to be introduced into container 1.
- This solid 5 will be generally constituted by a decorative element.
- This solid 5 is preferably glued to the walls of the container 1 of so as to maintain a precise positioning of this solid 5 inside the liquid 4.
- Container 1 is filled liquid 4. Inside the volume of this liquid 4, there is optionally introduced a solid 5 immobilized or not on the walls of the container 1.
- a hot melt fuel 2 is heated to a temperature higher than its temperature then allowed to cool a few moments before pouring on the surface of the liquid 4. For example, the fuel is heated to a melting point of about 120 ° C and then cooled to a temperature of 80 ° C. This cooling step avoids bubbling fuel 2 on the surface of the liquid 4.
- This fuel 2 is a gel poured hot on the surface of the liquid 4, preferably in the form of at least two successive layers. The second layer is poured only after cooling of the first layer.
- wick 3 Before pouring the second layer, wick 3, generally fitted, at its opposite end to its free end 3A susceptible to be ignited, a platinum, is arranged, by through this plate, on the surface of the first layer.
- the second layer of fuel is casting so that wick 3 is integrated in the second layer.
- the fuel used thus forming a plug of the container is introduced in an amount such as end of wick 3 protrudes from the plug and can thus be ignited to allow the lighting of all.
- Such a device then works in the manner a candle by simple ignition of the free end from the wick.
