Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lamp comprising a container for a liquid fuel and a wick immersed in the fuel.
  • candles are mainly used to create a relaxing atmosphere or to create some intimacy. Not only at home, but also in the commercial area (gastronomy, hotel industry, Christmas sales etc.).
  • the conventional wax candle has several disadvantages. She develops smoke, she burns quickly, it produces hot wax that can flow out in an uncontrolled manner. In contrast, these disadvantages can be avoided with the paraffin lamp (oil lamp) become. However, the paraffin lamp has a different psychological charisma and therefore cannot replace the candle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a lamp which has the advantages of oil lamps and Candle united.
  • the Lamp includes a container for a liquid fuel, e.g. B. for a paraffin oil, and a wick to be immersed in the fuel, which burns the fuel transported.
  • the wick is formed by a bundle of refractory fibers, which in a pipe is guided.
  • glass fibers are used for the wick used. These are mechanically very robust, sufficiently fireproof and even aesthetically pleasing. (Fine) wires or other fibers could also be used become.
  • the fibers are very fine. For example Fiber diameter in the The order of magnitude of 1/100 mm (e.g. 0.005 mm to 0.05 mm) can be used. Fibers can be used, e.g. in the manufacture of glass fiber reinforced plastics or wallpaper can be used.
  • the container is preferably designed as a closed vessel, so that the liquid Fuel cannot flow out.
  • the glass fiber bundle then advantageously extends from Cover the container to the bottom.
  • the entire Fuel volume can be used and secondly it is avoided that the glass fibers can slide down.
  • the fibers stand on the floor and receive one definite vertical position.
  • the tube is e.g. B. made of heat-resistant glass. At the top of the pipe protruding end of the glass fibers burns the flame. The resulting The pipe should be able to cope with the increase in temperature. If the container is partially or completely transparent, the glass wick also has one special aesthetic effect.
  • the container and / or the tube of the wick can also be from another, not transparent material, such as. B. made of metal. There is also a ceramic container conceivable.
  • the inside diameter of the tube and the degree of filling of the tube depend on the fibers depends on how big the height of the liquid or how long the wick should be. Practical tests have shown that an inner tube diameter of approx. 4 mm good results.
  • the degree of filling can range between 60% and 90% lie. It is easily possible to choose smaller inner diameters.
  • the Amount of fuel that can be delivered per unit of time is usually accordingly lower and the flame consequently be smaller. Larger diameters in Areas well over 4 mm (e.g., more than 6 mm) may become smaller Allow climbing heights.
  • the container preferably has a wall part made of glass and a bottom part made of metal, wherein a closable refill opening is provided in the bottom part.
  • the mezzanine is with Provide openings so that the fuel can circulate freely.
  • the container itself can have any shape. Standard shapes such as cylinders, prisms with a base area designed as a regular polygon (e.g. as a hexagon) are closed prefer.
  • the top end of the cylinder or prism is with a lid completed, which is welded to the wall part or permanently in some other way is appropriate.
  • the tube of the wick is in turn held in the lid.
  • the lid of the container is also made of heat-resistant glass.
  • a particularly beautiful flame is produced when the upper end of the tube is covered with a Metal sleeve is completed.
  • the glass fibers are shaped by the short tubular Section of the metal sleeve passed through and beyond this.
  • the metal sleeve can be inserted with its lower end into the upper end of the tube. But there are also other connections possible.
  • the pipe in the upper area i.e. below the cover
  • the pressure equalization opening prevents too much in this way Fuel spills from the top of the pipe.
  • Figure 1 shows a lamp according to the invention ("glass candle") in cross section. It consists in Essentially consisting of an upper part 1 made of glass, a lower part 2 made of metal and one Wick 3. Upper part 1 and lower part 2 together form a closed container for the liquid fuel 4 (e.g. paraffin oil). At the lower part 2 is an opening 5 for filling the Fuel 4 provided.
  • the opening 5 is with a cover 6 with a screw cap closable. So that the lid 6 can be opened without tools, it can, for. B. with a slot 7 (for inserting a coin) or with a foldable handle (not shown).
  • the bottom of the lower part 2 is offset inwards, so that the Cover 6 protruding downward through opening 5 not on the base surface (table) gets up.
  • the container thus has an annular contact surface.
  • the lower part 2 consists, for. B. made of metal. According to a preferred embodiment, it has a cylindrical outer shape. At its upper end is a cylindrical taper 8 educated. This serves as a connection for the upper part 1.
  • the degree of taper corresponds essentially to the wall thickness of the upper part 1, so that the container over the entire height has a smooth (i.e. stepless) outer surface.
  • the axial length of the taper should be sufficient for a stable connection (e.g. for an adhesive connection).
  • An intermediate floor 9 is provided at the upper end of the lower part 2.
  • the in Intermediate floor 9 openings 10.1, 10.2 (which in aesthetic placed and shaped in an appealing manner) allow the fuel 4 to free passage.
  • the intermediate floor 9 has the goal of opening 5 and cover 6 to hide from the view from above. In addition, it stabilizes the wick.
  • the upper part is 1 of glass.
  • He has a cylindrical shape (corresponding to the container shape already mentioned above) Wall 11, which at the top ends in an imaginatively curved (i.e. wavy) edge 12 runs out.
  • a Lid 13 also made of glass
  • the lid 13 can be slightly lowered in a funnel shape towards the center. (In the present example is the inclination to the horizontal is less than 10 °.)
  • the lid 13 has a passage opening 15 for the tube 14, which also consists of glass. It can be welded, melted or glued be so that an airtight and watertight connection is formed.
  • the top of the In the present example, tube 14 is flush with the upper side of cover 13.
  • the tube 14 extends down the entire length of the wall 11 of the upper part 2.
  • a central opening 16 is provided in the intermediate floor 9, through which the pipe 14 in the lower part 2 can protrude.
  • the tube 14 ends at a certain distance to the bottom or to the lid 6 of the lower part 2.
  • the tube 14 has an inner diameter of z. B. 4 mm and the lowest possible Wall thickness (the wick should appear filigree).
  • the tube has close below the cover 13 a fine wall opening 17 as an "overflow" (see FIG. 2).
  • a metal sleeve 18 is inserted in the upper end of the tube 14. It is thin-walled (In particular thin-walled than the tube 14 made of glass) and is used for Lifting and limiting the lower end of the flame 19. It projects above the upper end the tube 14 to z. B. a few millimeters and lifts the flame accordingly from the lid 13 from.
  • the fuel 4 is transported upwards through a glass fiber bundle 20, which in the Tube 14 is guided.
  • the fiber bundle 20 is significantly longer than the tube 14 and stands up the bottom (or the cover 6) of the lower part 2 and protrudes with its upper end slightly (e.g. by 1 mm) out of the metal sleeve 18.
  • the fiber bundle 20 is made preferably made of continuous glass fibers.
  • the fibers fill the with their cross section predominant part of the free inner pipe cross section. In practice there are so many Fibers introduced into the tube 14, as is possible without undue effort. Leading to a pipe filling level of typically 3/4. It has been shown that 60-90% of the Inner cross section of the tube 14 should be filled with fibers. Form between the fibers there are fine capillary spaces.
  • the fuel can consequently by capillary action climb up.
  • the glass fibers themselves do not absorb the fuel. This can just move along their surface. This also means that the (not flammable) glass fiber ends in the area of flame 19 when lighting or extinguishing practically cannot be damaged.
  • the flame 19 generates natural radiant heat, which in particular the cover 13 heated.
  • the upper end of the tube 14 is also heated via the metal sleeve 18.
  • the glass of the upper part 1 and the tube 14 are therefore made of heat-resistant glass manufactured. Such glasses are used in laboratory technology and are consequently well known (available on the market e.g. under the DURAN® brand).
  • the lamp is very easy to use. To fill the lamp is upside down provided and the paraffin oil (fuel) filled through the opening 5. Because the If the interior of the container is watertight, the paraffin oil cannot flow out. After closing the opening, the lamp is ready for use. It can be lit. become. Even if it should tip over, there is no damage because - as I said - the Transition between the tube 14 and the lid 13 is tight.
  • the wall opening 17 prevent too much fuel from being pushed up through the pipe 14 and forms a pool on the lid.
  • the wall opening 17 acts as an overflow.
  • the filling opening can also be provided at a different location than in the floor. While it was hidden in the example above, it can also be used in the sense of a conscious one Design element to be clearly visible. The connection is particularly conceivable between detachable upper part 1 and lower part 2, so that to fill the lamp Upper and lower part can be taken apart.
  • the lamp does not need two parts and also does not need to be made of two different materials his. There is no doubt that glass has a special effect. Glass also allows different surface and color designs. Can also with the fuel Additional color effects are created, be it that the fuel has a color in the liquid Condition, or that it has a special or unusual color of the flame generated.
  • the tube 14 can protrude beyond the lid or end under the lid. in the the latter case is e.g. B. the metal sleeve through the lid of the container.
  • the intermediate floor 9 serves as a privacy screen and as additional holder for the pipe. Both functions are not essential for the invention and, if desired, can also be implemented in other ways.
  • the pipe can e.g. B. reach to the bottom and there by suitable ribs or the like be stabilized laterally. So that with such a construction a good inflow of Fuel secured in the interior of the pipe can be suitable in the lower area Wall openings are provided.
  • the glass fibers can be replaced by fine metal wires. Also these do not burn. It is important that the bundle of fibers or wires Can convey fuel upwards via the capillary action.
  • the invention is technically simple and permanent lamp (quasi a glass candle) has been created, the highest aesthetic Can meet claims. It is possible without problems, lamps of a height of 20-40 cm produce a fuel volume with a suitable diameter that is sufficient for 50 to 100 hours of operation.
