Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Kerzen, insbesondere Kerzen, die auf oder in Trägern angeordnet sein können. Bei den Trägern kann es sich um brennbare Unterlagen oder brennbare Aufnahmeeinheiten, insbesondere Kerzenständer und florale Aufnahmeeinheiten wie z.B. Adventskränze und Gestecke, auf oder in denen die Kerzen angeordnet werden, handeln.The invention relates to candles, in particular candles, which may be arranged on or in carriers. The supports may be flammable underlays or combustible receptacles, in particular candle holders and floral receptacles, e.g. Advent wreaths and arrangements on or in which the candles are arranged act.

US 2,809,512 beschreibt Kerzenständer, die das vollständige Abbrennen der Kerze begünstigen, für verschiedene Kerzenformate geeignet sind und ein leichtes Austauschen der Kerzen ohne Reinigung des Kerzenständers erlauben. EP0324060 offenbart eine Kerze gemäß des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. US 2,809,512 describes candlesticks, which favor the complete burning of the candle, are suitable for different candle formats and allow easy replacement of the candles without cleaning the candle holder. EP0324060 discloses a candle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Von Kerzen geht eine Brandgefahr aus, die darauf beruht, dass die brennbare Unterlage bzw. Aufnahmeeinheit durch Kontakt mit der Kerzenflamme entzündet werden kann. Diese Brandgefahr wird vor allem im heruntergebrannten Zustand dadurch verursacht, dass der Docht der nahezu abgebrannten Kerze nicht in das flüssige Brennmaterial kippen und dort versiegen kann, wenn das Brennmaterial der nahezu heruntergebrannten Kerze ausläuft. In diesem Fall steht nun ein größerer Teil des Dochtes im Kontakt mit dem Luftsauerstoff und bewirkt eine Vergrößerung der Flamme, die auf das Trägermaterial übergreifen kann.From candles there is a risk of fire, which is based on the fact that the flammable pad or recording unit can be ignited by contact with the candle flame. This danger of fire is caused especially in the burned-down state in that the wick of almost burned candle can not tilt into the liquid fuel and dry up there, when the fuel of the almost burned candle leaking. In this case, now a greater part of the wick is in contact with the atmospheric oxygen and causes an enlargement of the flame, which can spread to the carrier material.

Im Stand der Technik sind deshalb Kerzenaufnahmevorrichtungen z.B. in Form von feuerfesten Kerzenbechern (Teelichthalter, Teelichtbecher, vor allem aus Glas oder Metall) bekannt, die die Kerzen vollständig aufnehmen und ein Auslaufen des flüssigen Brennmaterials verhindern und so die Brandgefahr speziell kurz vor dem Ausbrennen der Kerzen bei einem Auslaufen des Brennmaterials verhindern. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass die bekannten Kerzenbecher durch das Aufnehmen der Kerze die ungestörte Sicht auf diese verhindern. Weiterhin verhindern die im Stand der Technik bekannten Kerzenbecher nicht ein z. B. durch eine Erschütterung verursachtes Verrutschen oder Verkippen, durch das einerseits die Kerzenflamme in die Nähe des Brenngutes gelangen oder andererseits das Wachs auslaufen kann, wodurch ein Brand begünstigt wird.In the prior art, therefore, candle receiving devices, for example in the form of refractory candle cups (tealight holders, tealight cups, especially glass or metal) are known, which completely absorb the candles and prevent leakage of the liquid fuel and so the risk of fire, especially shortly before the burning out of the candles prevent leakage of fuel. The disadvantage, however, is that the known candle cups prevent the undisturbed view of them by picking up the candle. Furthermore, the known in the prior art candle cup does not prevent a z. B. caused by a vibration slipping or tilting, on the one hand, the candle flame get into the vicinity of the fuel or on the other hand can leak the wax, causing a fire is favored.

Dieses Problem wird im Stand der Technik durch Befestigungsvorrichtungen für Kerzen, bei denen mindestens ein Stift in das Brennmaterial am Kerzenfuß gestoßen wird und der so eine sichere Befestigung der Kerze auf dem Träger, insbesondere in Adventskränzen und Gestecken, gewährleistet, gelöst. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass dieThis problem is solved in the prior art by fastening devices for candles, in which at least one pin is pushed into the fuel at the candle base and thus ensures a secure attachment of the candle on the carrier, especially in Advent wreaths and arrangements. The disadvantage, however, is that the

Haltestifte, die aus Gründen der Stabilität aus Metall bestehen, die Wärme gut leiten und so im herabgebrannten Zustand der Kerze löcher nahe der Durchstoßpunkte in die Standfläche der Kerze brennen können, durch die das flüssige Brennmaterial ausläuft. Die Flamme kann nun durch das Auslaufen des Brennmaterials auf den restlichen gesamten Docht übergreifen und entweder direkt oder durch ein Herabfallen in den Träger einen Brand verursachen.Holding pins, which are made of metal for reasons of stability, which conduct heat well and so in the burned down condition of the candle can burn holes near the piercing points in the base of the candle, through which the liquid fuel expires. The flame can now spread to the rest of the entire wick due to the leakage of the fuel and cause a fire either directly or by falling into the carrier.

Deswegen wurden Kerzenbefestigungsvorrichtungen, die einen Halter, einen Kerzenteller und einen Steckstift enthalten, entwickelt ("Safe Stick Candle" der Richard Wenzel GmbH & Co KG, Aschaffenburg). Bei dieser Kerzenbefestigungsvorrichtung verhindert ein Dochthalter das Umfallen des Dochts im flüssigen Brennmaterial bei nahezu vollständigem Abbrennen der Kerze. Weiterhin verhindert ein erhöhter Rand des Halters das Auslaufen des flüssigen Brennmaterials zu Ende der Kerzenbrenndauer. Durch beides wird das Selbstverlöschen der Kerze zu Ende der Brenndauer erreicht und die Entstehung eines Brandes vermieden, so dass die Befestigungsvorrichtung samt Kerze auch ohne Brandgefahr auch auf bzw. in brennbare Träger eingebracht werden kann. Nachteilig ist jedoch zum einen, dass diese Einheit aus Steckstift und Kerzenteller hohe Kosten in der Produktion verursacht. Weiterhin ist der Kerzenteller zusammen mit dem Steckstift vor Gebrauch an der Kerze zu befestigen und es wird so ein zusätzlicher Arbeitsschritt zu Befestigung des Kerzentellers erforderlich. Schließlich ist die Verwendung der Kerzenbefestigungsvorrichtung auf Kerzen mit einer speziellen Ausfräsung zur Aufnahme des erhöhten Halterrandes beschränkt, so dass der Konsument gezwungen ist, auf die wegen der zusätzlichen Erzeugung der Ausfräsung im Vergleich zu anderen teureren Kerzen zurückzugreifen.Therefore, candle mounting devices containing a holder, a candle plate and a plug pin have been developed ("Safe Stick Candle" of Richard Wenzel GmbH & Co. KG, Aschaffenburg). In this candle fixing device, a wick holder prevents the wick from falling in the liquid fuel with almost complete burning of the candle. Furthermore, a raised edge of the holder prevents leakage of the liquid fuel at the end of the candle burn time. Through both the self-extinction of the candle is reached at the end of the burning time and the emergence of a fire avoided, so that the fastening device including candle without fire risk can also be placed on or in flammable carrier. The disadvantage, however, on the one hand, that this unit of plug pin and candle plate causes high costs in production. Furthermore, the candle plate is to be fastened together with the pin before use on the candle and it will be an additional step to attach the candle plate required. Finally, the use of the candle fixing device is limited to candles with a special cutout for receiving the raised holder edge, so that the consumer is forced to resort to the more expensive because of the additional generation of the cutout compared to other expensive candles.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es also, ein Selbstverlöschen der Flamme von Kerzen nahe dem Ablauf der Brenndauer auch auf oder in brennbaren Trägern zu gewährleisten, ohne einen Kerzenteller an der Kerze befestigen zu müssen, der im Gebrauchszustand der Kerze sichtbar ist.Object of the present invention is therefore to ensure a self-extinguishing the flame of candles near the end of the burning time on or in flammable carriers without having to attach a candle plate to the candle, which is visible in the use of the candle.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Kerzenteller, der in einer den Docht, das Brennmaterial und den Kerzenteller umfassenden Kerze eine in dem Bereich der Standfläche der Kerze angeordnete Platte darstellt. Der plattenförmige Kerzenteller bewirkt eine Separation von abgelaufenem Brennmaterial und dem Docht und entzieht dem brennenden Docht somit den Brennstoff. Dadurch, dass die Platte in dem Bereich der Standfläche der Kerze angebracht ist, ist sie im Gebrauchszustand der Kerze weitestgehend nicht sichtbar.This object is achieved by a candle dish, which represents a plate arranged in the region of the standing surface of the candle in a candle comprising the wick, the fuel material and the candle dish. The plate-shaped candle dish causes a separation of expired fuel and the wick and thus extracts the fuel from the burning wick. The fact that the plate is mounted in the area of the base of the candle, it is largely invisible in the use of the candle.

Vorzugsweise besitzt die Platte eine Oberfläche, die nicht größer als die Standfläche der Kerze ist. Weiterhin entspricht die Form der Platte vorzugsweise der Standflächenform der Kerze. Besonders bevorzugt sind Platte und Standfläche der Kerze kreisförmig. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass die Platte im Gebrauchszustand der Kerze nicht nur weitestgehend, sondern bis kurz vor dem Abbrennen der Kerze vollständig unsichtbar ist und trotzdem ihre Funktion optimal erfüllt.Preferably, the plate has a surface no larger than the base of the candle. Furthermore, the shape of the plate preferably corresponds to the base shape of the candle. Particularly preferably, the plate and base of the candle are circular. This ensures that the plate in use of the candle not only as far as possible, but until just before the burning of the candle is completely invisible and still fulfills its function optimally.

Der Kerzenteller kann auf dem Brennmaterial an der Standfläche der Kerze angeordnet sein. Dadurch ist eine einfache Erzeugung der erfindungsgemäßen Kerze aus dem Kerzenteller und dem Brennmaterial samt Docht, z.B. durch ein Verpressen nach Erzeugen der Kerze, möglich. Der Kerzenteller kann jedoch auch durch Aufkleben angebracht werden. Derartig angeordnete Kerzenteller sind von der Standflächenseite der Kerze aus sichtbar und können deswegen mit einem Hinweis auf ihre Funktion für den Verbraucher (z. B. durch Beschriften oder Bekleben mit einem entsprechenden Etikett oder Prägen) gekennzeichnet werden. Der Kerzenteller ist in dem Bereich der Standfläche der Kerze in das Brennmaterial integriert. So ist der Kerzenteller nicht einmal von unterhalb der Standfläche zu erkennen. Der Kerzenteller kann nicht nur bei oder nach dem Pressen einer Kerze, sondern auch bei oder nach der Herstellung einer Kerze nach einem anderen Verfahren (z. B. Gießen, Ziehen oder Tunken) eingebracht werden. Der Kerzenteller wird auf dem Kerzenrohling vor dem Aufbringen einer Tauchwachsschicht angeordnet. Die Anordnung auf dem Kerzenrohling kann dabei durch Verpressen mit dem Kerzenrohling, insbesondere beim Abschluss des Pressvorgangs zur Erzeugung des Kerzenrohlings, oder bei oder nach dem Gießen des Kerzenrohlings erfolgen. Das Aufbringen der Tauchwachsschicht kann der Erzeugung einer bestimmten optischen Erscheinung der Kerze, insbesondere eine bestimmten Farbe, dienen. Die Tauchwachsschicht kann jedoch auch weiß oder farblos sein.The candle dish may be disposed on the fuel at the base of the candle. As a result, a simple production of the candle according to the invention from the candle dish and the fuel together with the wick, for example by pressing after generating the candle, is possible. However, the candle plate can also be attached by gluing. Such arranged candle plates are visible from the base side of the candle and can therefore be labeled with an indication of their function for the consumer (eg by labeling or sticking with a corresponding label or embossing). The candle dish is integrated in the area of the base of the candle in the fuel. So the candle plate is not even visible from below the stand. The candle dish can be introduced not only during or after the pressing of a candle, but also during or after the production of a candle by another method (eg pouring, drawing or dipping). The candle dish is placed on the candle blank prior to application of a dipping wax layer. The arrangement on the candle blank can be effected by pressing with the candle blank, in particular at the conclusion of the pressing process to produce the candle blank, or during or after the casting of the candle blank. The application of the dipping wax layer can serve to produce a specific optical appearance of the candle, in particular a specific color. However, the dipping wax layer may also be white or colorless.

Vorzugsweise. Der Kerzenteller besteht aus Aluminium. Durch die Verwendung von Aluminium zur Erstellung des Kerzentellers wird gewährleistet, dass ein geringer Materialaufwand zur Erzeugung der Kerzenteller erforderlich ist, da Aluminium wegen seiner hohen Dehnbarkeit sehr dünn auswalzbar ist. Weiterhin hat die Verwendung von Aluminium den Vorteil, dass die fertige Kerze wegen des geringen Eigengewichts des Aluminiums ein nur unwesentlich verändertes Gewicht im Vergleich zu anderen, den Kerzenteller nicht enthaltenden Kerzen aufweist. Schließlich ist Aluminium auch wegen seiner hohen Dehnbarkeit mit Steckverbindematerial, wie z.B. Befestigungsstiften, leicht zu durchstoßen. So können die erfindungsgemäßen Kerzen mit einem Aluminiumkerzenteller einfach mit Steckverbindematerial, mit dem der Teller durchstoßen wurde, auf den Trägern angeordnet werden.Preferably. The candle plate is made of aluminum. The use of aluminum to create the candle plate ensures that a low material cost to produce the candle plate is required because aluminum is very thin ausaltsbar because of its high extensibility. Furthermore, the use of aluminum has the advantage that the finished candle due to the low weight of the aluminum has only a slightly different weight compared to other, the candle dish not containing candles. Finally, because of its high ductility, aluminum is also suitable for use with connector material, e.g. Fixing pins, easy to pierce. Thus, the candles according to the invention can be arranged with an aluminum candle plate simply with connector material with which the plate was pierced, on the carriers.

Der Kerzenteller aus Aluminium besitzt vorzugsweise eine Dicke von 30 - 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt 48 - 68 µm. Bei geringeren Dicken ist das Aluminium nicht mehr gut auswalzbar, bei höheren Dicken kann es nicht mehr durchstochen werden.The candle dish made of aluminum preferably has a thickness of 30-100 μm, more preferably 48-68 μm. At lower thicknesses, the aluminum can no longer be rolled well, and at higher thicknesses it can no longer be pierced.

Der Kerzenteller kann jedoch auch aus einem anderen feuerfesten Material bestehen. So können z.B. andere Metalle sowie Metalllegierungen, anorganische Materialien, feuerfeste Kunststoffe, feuerfeste Verbundwerkstoffe, keramische Materialien sowie Glas eingesetzt werden. Bevorzugte andere Metalle und Metalllegierungen sind Eisen bzw. Stahl, Kupfer und Zink sowie Bronze und Messing. Einsetzbare feuerfeste anorganische Materialien sind z.B. Siliciumcarbid und Aluminiumsilicate. Feuerfeste Kunststoffe sind z.B. thermoplastische Formmassen auf Basis von Polyphenylethern sowie handelsübliche Kunststoffe, denen Flammschutzmittel auf anorganischer Basis, halogenierte Flammschutzmittel, Organophosphor-Flammschutzmittel oder Stickstoff-bäsierende Flammschutzmittel zugesetzt wurden. Als feuerfeste Verbundwerkstoffe, d.h. Werkstoffe aus zwei oder mehr verbundenen Materialien, die in die Untergruppen der Teilchenverbundwerkstoffe, Faserverbundwerkstoffe, Schichtverbundwerkstoffe und Durchdringungsverbundwerkstoffe eingeteilt werden, können z.B. Hartmetalle, glasfaserverstärktes Glas und Faser-Kunststoff-Verbünde eingesetzt werden.However, the candle dish may also consist of another refractory material. Thus, for example, other metals and metal alloys, inorganic materials, refractory plastics, refractory composite materials, ceramic materials and glass can be used. Preferred other metals and metal alloys are iron or steel, copper and zinc, as well as bronze and brass. Useful refractory inorganic materials include silicon carbide and aluminum silicates. Refractory plastics are, for example, thermoplastic molding compositions based on polyphenyl ethers and commercial plastics to which inorganic flame retardants, halogenated flame retardants, organophosphorus flame retardants or nitrogen-containing flame retardants have been added. For example, hard metals, glass fiber reinforced glass and fiber-plastic composites can be used as refractory composite materials, ie materials of two or more bonded materials, which are divided into the subgroups of the particle composites, fiber composites, layered composites and interpenetration composite materials.

Für den Fall, dass der Kerzenteller für Anwendungen bestimmt ist, die ein Durchstoßen mit Befestigungsmaterial erfordern, wird eine entsprechende Auswahl aus den oben genannten Materialien getroffen.In the event that the candle cup is intended for applications requiring piercing with mounting material, an appropriate selection will be made from the above materials.

Der Kerzenteller weist vorzugsweise eine zentrale Vertiefung auf. Diese Vertiefung kann zur Aufnahme des Dochthalters oder des restlichen Dochtes selbst nach dem Abbrennen dienen. Weiterhin kann die Vertiefung bei einer Kerze mit einem im wesentlichen in das Brennmaterial integrierten Kerzenteller dazu dienen, dass ein Stück des Kerzentellers in der Kerze von außen zu erkennen ist und somit die erfindungsgemäßen Kerzen von herkömmiichen unterschieden werden können.The candle dish preferably has a central depression. This recess may serve to receive the wick holder or residual wick even after it has been burned off. Furthermore, in the case of a candle having a candle dish which is substantially integrated into the fuel, the depression can serve to allow a piece of the candle dish in the candle to be recognized from the outside, and thus the candles according to the invention can be distinguished from conventional ones.

Weiterhin kann der Kerzenteller eine zu der der Vertiefung gegenüberliegenden Seite des Tellers ausgestaltete erhöhte Umrandung aufweisen. Diese erhöht die Stabilität des Tellers und dient der Verbesserung der Haftung des Tellers im Kerzenkorpus. Weiterhin stellt ein derartiger Rand einen Schutz gegen Schnittverletzungen dar:Furthermore, the candle dish may have an elevated border configured to the side of the plate opposite the depression. This increases the stability of the plate and serves to improve the adhesion of the plate in the candle body. Furthermore, such an edge provides protection against cuts:

Der Kerzenteller kann jedoch auch mindestens eine Prägung aufweisen, um die Stabilität des Tellers und die Haftung des Tellers in der Kerze zu erhöhen. Weiterhin kann jede Prägung zusätzlich mit Einschnitten oder Einstanzungen versehen sein. Die Einschnitte oder Einstanzungen sind vorzugsweise winkelförmig oder halbmondförmig. Bevorzugt sind sie halbmondförmig, da sie so ein geringeres Verletzungspotential für den Handhabenden aufweisen. Durch die Einschnitte wird ein besserer Verbund zwischen Kerze und Kerzenteller gewährleistet. So bewirken die mit Einschnitten versehenen Prägungen des Kerzentellers eine Haftung zwischen dem Kerzenteller und dem Granulat. Auch beim Kerzengießen sind derartige Prägungen mit Einschnitten vorteilhaft, weil durch sie das flüssige Kerzenwachs hindurchtreten und dann erstarren kann, so daß ein inniger Verbund von Kerzenteller und der Kerzenmasse entsteht.However, the candle dish may also have at least one embossment to increase the stability of the plate and the adherence of the plate in the candle. Furthermore, each embossing can be additionally provided with cuts or stampings. The cuts or stampings are preferably angled or crescent-shaped. Preferably, they are crescent-shaped, as they have such a lower injury potential for the operator. The incisions ensure a better bond between the candle and the candle dish. Thus, the embossed embossings of the candle dish cause adhesion between the candle dish and the granules. Even with candle casting such embossments with cuts are advantageous because they pass through the liquid candle wax and then solidify, so that an intimate bond of candle plate and candle mass is formed.

Die Prägungen, die mit Einschnitten versehen sein können, erstrecken sich vorzugsweise in Richtung der Umrandung, um so die Verletzungsgefahr an den hochstehenden Metallkanten zu minimieren.The embossments, which may be provided with incisions, preferably extend in the direction of the border, so as to minimize the risk of injury to the upstanding metal edges.

Der Kerzenteller kann weiterhin Punktmarkierungen aufweisen, durch die Vorzugpositionen zum Durchstoß von Steckverbindematerial angegeben werden. Diese Punktmarkierungen können entweder farblich gekennzeichnet, eingeprägt, gebohrt oder gestanzt sein. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Punktmarkierungen gestanzt, da sie so ohne weiteren erforderlichen Arbeitsschritt bei der Stanzung des Kerzentellers eingebracht werden können. Sind die Punktmarkierungen eingeprägt, dann können die Punktmarkierungen identisch mit Positionen mit einer verminderten Schichtdicke des Kerzentellermaterials sein, so dass an diesen Positionen der Durchstoß des Steckverbindematerials vereinfacht erfolgen kann. Die gebohrten oder gestanzten Punktmarkierungen können kreis- oder halbmondförmig ausgestaltet sein. Bevorzugt sind sie halbmondförmig ausgestanzt, weil daraus ein geringeres Vertetzungsrisiko resultiert. Bei dem verwendeten Steckverbindematerial handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Steckstifte aus Metall oder Draht aus Metall.The candle dish may further include dot marks indicating preferred positions for piercing connector material. These dot marks may be either color coded, embossed, drilled or stamped. Particularly preferably, the dot marks are punched, since they can be introduced without further necessary step in the punching of the candle plate. If the dot marks are impressed, then the dot marks can be identical to positions with a reduced layer thickness of the candle plate material, so that at these positions the penetration of the connector material can be simplified. The drilled or punched dot marks may be circular or crescent-shaped. Preferably, they are punched crescent-shaped, because it results in a lower risk of submergence. The connector material used are preferably pins made of metal or metal wire.
