Description

Dochthalter und Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung  Wick holder and method for its production
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dochthalter, der eine Basisplatte mit einem hohlen Halsstück als Durchzug für einen Docht aufweist, für Kerzen, und ein Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung. The invention relates to a wick holder having a base plate with a hollow neck as a passage for a wick, for candles, and a method for its preparation.
Dochthalter finden vor allem in Teelichtern Verwendung. Zur Herstellung von Teelichtern wird vorzugsweise Paraffin oder eine Mischung von natürlichen Wachsen mit Stearin oder ein anderer geeigneter Brennstoff verwendet, der beispielsweise als Granulat kalt in eine geeignete Form gepresst oder flüssig in die Teelichthülle gegossen wird. Einfachere Teelichter werden ohne Docht gepresst. Der Kerzenkörper wird anschließend durchbohrt und der Docht wird im Dochthalter durch die Bohrung geführt. Der Dochthalter dient dabei im Wesentlichen dazu, den Docht im Wachs gerade zu halten. Wick holders are mainly used in tealights. For the preparation of tealights paraffin or a mixture of natural waxes with stearin or another suitable fuel is preferably used, which is pressed, for example as granules cold in a suitable form or liquid is poured into the tealight envelope. Simpler tealights are pressed without a wick. The plug body is then pierced and the wick is passed through the hole in the wick holder. The wick holder essentially serves to keep the wick straight in the wax.
Typische bekannte Dochthalter sind Stanzartikel, die in verschiedenen Abmessungen vorzugsweise mit sogenannten Folge-Verbundwerkzeugen vorzugsweise aus kaltgewalzten Stahlblechen oder aus Aluminiumblechen hergestellt werden. In den Stanzwerkzeugen wird das Blech vorzugsweise in mehreren Schritten verformt, bis die endgültige Geometrie des Produkts erreicht ist. Typical known wick holders are stamped articles which are preferably produced in different dimensions with so-called follow-on composite tools, preferably from cold-rolled steel sheets or from aluminum sheets. In the stamping tools, the sheet is preferably deformed in several steps until the final geometry of the product is achieved.
Aus der Europäischen Offenlegungsschrift EP 2 361 962 AI ist ein Dochthalter der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, der insbesondere für Teelichter geeignet ist, die einen becherförmigen Behälter, einen in den Behälter eingesetzten Wachsblock und einen durch ein Loch des Wachsblockes hindurchgeführten Docht aufweisen. Der Docht ist in dem auf dem Boden des Behälters aufliegenden Dochthalter angeordnet, der eine Basisplatte mit einem zentralen Durchzug in Form eines hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes aufweist, in dem der untere Teil des Dochtes aufgenommen und fixiert ist. Die Basisplatte weist die Form eines kongruenten regulären n-Ecks mit n=3,4 oder 6 (gleichseitiges Dreieck, Quadrat oder reguläres bzw. regelmäßiges Sechseck), insbesondere die Form eines regelmäßigen Rechtecks, auf. European patent application EP 2 361 962 A1 discloses a wick holder of the type mentioned in the introduction, which is particularly suitable for tealights having a cup-shaped container, a wax block inserted into the container and a wick guided through a hole in the wax block. The wick is disposed in the bottom of the container wick holder, which has a base plate with a central passage in the form of a hollow cylindrical neck, in which the lower part of the wick is received and fixed. The base plate is in the form of a congruent regular n-corner with n = 3, 4 or 6 (equilateral triangle, square or regular hexagon), in particular the shape of a regular rectangle.
Die Deutsche Offenlegungsschrift DE 33 35 146 AI beschreibt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von in becherförmigen Behältern angeordneten Kerzen, deren Docht an einem Dochthalter aus magnetisch anziehbarem Material befestigt ist. Dieser Dochthalter wird in den Behälter eingesetzt und mit Hilfe eines unter dem Behälter mittig angeordneten Magneten zentriert und zeitweilig festgehalten. German Offenlegungsschrift DE 33 35 146 A1 describes a method and an apparatus for producing arranged in cup-shaped containers candles, the wick is attached to a wick holder made of magnetically attractable material. This Wick holder is inserted into the container and centered by means of a centrally located under the container magnets and temporarily held.
In der Deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 39 18 324 AI wird ein Dochthalter, insbesondere für Tee- und Opferlichter beschrieben, bei dem im Mantel eines den Docht aufnehmenden und festhaltenden Zylinderteils mindestens eine Ansaugöffnung vorgesehen ist, wodurch ein gutes Wachseinsaugen stattfindet. Dabei kann der Docht durch die Ansaugöffnungen bzw. durch eingedrücktes Material neben den Öffnungen zusätzlich im Innern des Dochthalters festgesetzt werden. Es wird zudem ein Verfahren beschrieben, bei dem z. B. nach dem Stanz- und Ziehvorgang in den Dochthalter ein Docht eingezogen und danach der Zylinderteil an mindestens einer Stelle so perforiert wird, dass die Perforationsränder in das Dochtmaterial klemmend eingreifen. In the German patent application DE 39 18 324 AI a wick holder is described, in particular for tea and sacrificial lights, in which at least one suction opening is provided in the mantle of a wick receiving and retaining cylinder part, whereby a good Wachseinsaugen takes place. In this case, the wick can be additionally set in the interior of the wick holder through the suction openings or by depressed material next to the openings. It also describes a method in which z. B. retracted after the punching and drawing process in the wick holder a wick and then the cylinder part is perforated at least one point so that the perforation edges engage in the wicking material by clamping.
Für Kerzen unterschiedlicher Dicke werden Dochthalter unterschiedlicher Höhe benötigt. So müssen im Zuge einer Europäischen Verordnung zum Verbraucherschutz sogenannte Stumpenkerzen (diese werden beispielsweise häufig auf Adventskränzen verwendet) derart ausgestaltet sein, dass ein Kontakt der Flamme mit der Unterlage (z.B. mit den Tannenzweigen) zuverlässig verhindert wird, beispielsweise, indem diese Kerzen automatisch erlöschen, sobald die Flamme einen bestimmten Abstand zur Unterlage unterschreitet. Der erfindungsgemäß verlängerte „Hals" des erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalters bewirkt, dass Kerzen mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalter automatisch erlöschen, sobald die Flamme einen bestimmten Abstand zur Unterlage unterschreitet. Da viele Kerzenhersteller jedoch unterschiedliche Anforderungen an die Form der Dochthalter haben, werden diese neuen Typen des Dochthalters jeweils in nur relativ kleinen Mengen angefordert. Die Anschaffung jeweils eines Stanzwerkzeugs für jede einzelne Type ist daher häufig nicht rentabel. For candles of different thicknesses, wick holders of different heights are needed. For example, in the context of a European consumer protection regulation, pillar candles (these are often used on Advent wreaths, for example) have to be configured in such a way that contact of the flame with the base (eg with the fir branches) is reliably prevented, for example by these candles automatically extinguishing, as soon as the flame falls below a certain distance to the surface. The inventively elongated "neck" of the wick holder according to the invention causes candles with a wick holder according to the invention will automatically go out as soon as the flame falls below a certain distance to the substrate.However, many candle manufacturers have different requirements on the shape of the wick holder, these new types of wick holder will respectively The purchase of a punching tool for each individual type is therefore often not profitable.
Auch werden Dochte unterschiedlicher Dicke eingesetzt, so dass der den Docht aufnehmende Hals an die Dicke des Dochtes angepasst sein muss. Auch werden Kerzen zunehmend aus verschiedenen Brennmassen hergestellt, welche zum optimalen Abbrand unterschiedliche Dochte benötigen, die sich unter anderem auch im Durchmesser unterscheiden. Also, wicks of different thicknesses are used, so that the wick receiving neck must be adapted to the thickness of the wick. Also, candles are increasingly made of different firing masses, which require different wicks for optimal burn, which differ, among other things, in diameter.
Für unterschiedliche Kerzen werden demnach unterschiedliche Dochthalter benötigt. Hieraus resultiert der Nachteil, dass für die Herstellung unterschiedlicher Dochthalter jeweils andere Werkzeuge benötigt werden, die teuer sind. Dadurch ist insbesondere die Herstellung von Dochthalterkleinserien teuer. For different candles therefore different wick holders are needed. This results in the disadvantage that for the production of different wick holder each other tools are needed that are expensive. As a result, in particular the production of small series of wicker small is expensive.
Eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit zur Bereitstellung von Dochthaltern unterschiedlicher Abmaße zur Verfügung zu stellen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Erzeugnis bzw. ein Verfahren nach einem der unabhängigen Patentansprüche gelöst. An object of the present invention is to provide a cost effective way of providing wick holders of different dimensions. This object is achieved by a product or a method according to one of the independent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Dochthalter der eingangs genannten Art ist gekennzeichnet durch ein an dem Halsstück angebrachtes, hülsenartiges Verlängerungsstück, dessen Achse mit der des Halsstücks fluchtet. A wick holder according to the invention of the type mentioned is characterized by an attached to the neck piece, sleeve-like extension piece whose axis is aligned with that of the neck piece.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Beschreibung der vorliegenden Erfindung soll unter einem Dochthalter jeder Gegenstand verstanden werden, in dem das untere Ende des Dochtes einer Kerze gehalten werden kann. In the context of the description of the present invention, a wick holder is understood to mean any object in which the lower end of the wick of a candle can be held.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalter können beispielsweise in Grablichtern, Glaskerzen, Votiv-Lichtern oder anderen Kerzen und auch in Teelichtern verwendet werden. The wick holders according to the invention can be used for example in grave lights, glass candles, votive lights or other candles and also in tealights.
Unter einem hohlen Halsstück als Durchzug für einen Docht wird hier eine vorzugsweise durch Tiefziehen in der Basisplatte erzeugte, insbesondere hohlzylindrische Öffnung verstanden, deren Querschnitt so bemessen ist, dass der Docht, den der Dochthalter halten soll, durch oder in diese Öffnung geschoben werden kann. Wird dieser Durchzug durch Tiefziehen erzeugt, bildet sich bei geeigneter Durchführung ein sogenannter Hals an der Basisplatte, also ein hohlzylindrischer Ansatz, dessen Zylinderachse üblicherweise senkrecht von der Basisplatte absteht. Under a hollow neck piece as a passage for a wick is here a preferably produced by deep drawing in the base plate, in particular hollow cylindrical opening understood, the cross section is dimensioned so that the wick, which is to hold the wick holder can be pushed through or into this opening. If this draft is generated by deep-drawing, a so-called neck forms on the base plate, that is to say a hollow-cylindrical projection whose cylindrical axis usually protrudes perpendicularly from the base plate.
Die einfachste Hohlform, die ein Halsstück aufweisen kann, ist die eines Hohlzylinders. Deswegen ist nachfolgend in der Beschreibung auch häufig von einem hohlzylindrischen Ansatz die Rede. Gleichwohl umfasst der Begriff „Halsstück" auch andere Formen. Beispielsweise kann das Halsstück auch mit n-eckigem, insbesondere mit dreieckigem oder mit viereckigem Querschnitt ausgebildet sein. Das Halsstück kann insbesondere in der Nähe der Basisplatte beispielsweise auch konisch oder pyramidal und mit zunehmender Entfernung von der Basisplatte annähernd zylindrisch geformt sein, vorzugsweise auch so, dass sein Querschnitt oder die Größe seiner Öffnung mit zunehmender Entfernung von der Basisplatte kleiner wird. The simplest mold, which may have a neck piece, is that of a hollow cylinder. For this reason, the description also often refers to a hollow-cylindrical approach. However, the term "neck piece" also encompasses other shapes, for example, the neck piece may also be of an octagonal, in particular triangular or quadrangular cross-section The neckpiece can be conical or pyramidal, for example, near the base plate and with increasing distance from it be approximately cylindrically shaped base plate, preferably also so that its cross section or the size of its opening with increasing distance from the Base plate gets smaller.
Üblicherweise wird die Achse des Halsstücks im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur durch die Basisplatte definierten Ebene verlaufen, dies muss aber nicht zwingend so sein. Es soll in aller Regel sichergestellt sein, dass der Docht durch den Dochthalter so gehalten wird, dass er im Wesentlichen vertikal geführt ist. Auch muss die Basisplatte nicht zwingend eben sein, sondern kann auch eine dreidimensionale Form haben, beispielsweise die Form eines Mantels eines Kegel stumpfes. Usually, the axis of the neck piece will be substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the base plate, but this need not necessarily be so. As a rule, it should be ensured that the wick is held by the wick holder so that it is guided substantially vertically. Also, the base plate does not necessarily have to be flat, but may also have a three-dimensional shape, such as the shape of a jacket of a cone blunt.
Das Verlängerungsstück kann in das Halsstück eingesetzt sein oder das Halsstück umschließen, wobei das Verlängerungsstück am Halsstück durch Klemmwirkung unbeweglich festgehalten wird. Eine feste, unbewegliche Verbindung zwischen Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück ist insoweit wichtig, als der Dochthalter im späteren Herstellungsprozess einer Kerze verschiedene Verarbeitungsprozeese durchläuft, in denen sich die Verbindung zwischen Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück nicht lösen darf. So werden beispielsweise für den Transport von Dochthaltern in einer Bedochtungs- oder Einfädelmaschine, in der ein Docht in den Dochthalter eingeführt wird, Rüttelrinnen verwendet, auf denen sich die Position von Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück nicht zueinander verändern darf. Daher wird die Verbindung vorzugsweise mit einer Presspassung oder über einer keilartig wirkenden Änderung der aneinander anliegenden Innen- und Außenflächen von Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück erzeugt. Alternativ, aber weniger bevorzugt, können Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück auch auf eine andere Art miteinander verbunden werden, beispielsweise durch Verkleben. The extension piece may be inserted into the neck piece or surround the neck piece, wherein the extension piece is immovably held on the neck piece by clamping action. A firm, immovable connection between the neck piece and extension piece is important in that the wick holder undergoes various processing procedures in the later manufacturing process of a candle, in which the connection between the neck piece and the extension piece must not come loose. Thus, for example, for the transport of wick holders in a windowing or threading machine in which a wick is inserted into the wick holder, vibrating troughs are used on which the position of the neck piece and extension piece must not change relative to one another. Therefore, the connection is preferably produced with a press fit or over a wedge-like change in the abutting inner and outer surfaces of the neck piece and extension piece. Alternatively, but less preferably, the neck and extension can also be connected together in some other way, for example by gluing.
Die Verbindung von Verlängerungsstück und Halsstück sollte vorzugsweise auch flüssigkeitsdicht sein, da der Dochthalter als Ganzes die gleichen Funktionseigenschaften wie ein einstückiger Dochthalter mit langem Halsstück haben soll. The connection of extension piece and neck piece should preferably also be liquid-tight, since the wick holder as a whole should have the same functional properties as a one-piece wick holder with a long neck piece.
Um den Innendurchmesser des Dochthalters für die Verwendung mit verschiedenen Dochtdurchmessern anzupassen, weist das Verlängerungsstück vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise einen anderen, insbesondere engeren Innendurchmesser auf als das Halsstück. Umgekehrt kann das Verlängerungsstück einen größeren Innendurchmesser als das Halsstück haben und auf das Halsstück aufgesetzt sein. In order to adapt the inner diameter of the wick holder for use with different wick diameters, the extension piece preferably has at least partially a different, in particular narrower inner diameter than the neck piece. Conversely, the extension piece may have a larger inner diameter than the neck piece and be placed on the neck piece.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Dochthalter derart aus- gestaltet, dass der Außendurchmesser des Halsstücks mit zunehmender Entfernung von der Basisplatte zumindest abschnittsweise abnimmt. Dadurch lässt sich das Aufsetzen des Verlängerungsstücks auf das Halsstück erleichtern. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wick holder is such designed so that the outer diameter of the neck piece decreases with increasing distance from the base plate at least in sections. This makes it easier to place the extension piece on the neck piece.
Diese und weitere Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung weisen gegenüber vorbekannten Dochthaltern verschiedene Vorteile auf: These and other embodiments of the present invention have several advantages over prior wick holders:
Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Verlängerung wird der Docht zusätzlich zur Stützwirkung des Halses gestützt. Außerdem kann der Docht - jedenfalls wenn der Docht von unten keine neue Brennmasse ansaugen kann - nicht weiter abbrennen, wenn er bis auf den oberen Rand der Verlängerung abgebrannt ist. Die Verlängerung wirkt also wie ein von vornherein verlängerter Hals, mit dem Unterschied, dass durch das Aufstecken unterschiedlicher Verlängerungen auf den Hals eines handelsüblichen Dochthalters auch Kleinserien erfindungsgemäßer Dochthalter wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden können, deren wirtschaftliche Herstellung ohne die Erfindung kaum möglich wäre. So ermöglicht die Erfindung die Herstellung von Dochthaltern mit verlängerten Hälsen in unterschiedlichen Längen auf der Grundlage von Dochthaltern mit Hälsen einheitlicher Länge. Durch die Beschränkung der Stanzwerkzeuge auf eine geringe Anzahl unterschiedlicher Typen von Dochthaltern ist eine wirtschaftlichere Herstellung auch einer großen Anzahl unterschiedlicher Typen von Dochthaltern mit unterschiedlichen Längen der erfindungsgemäß verlängerten Hälse möglich. Auch ist eine Verlängerung des Dochthalters für den Einsatz von sehr dünnen Dochten von Vorteil. So benötigen sehr dünne Dochte einen besseren Halt, um nicht in die flüssige Brennmasse zu kippen. Dies kann über den erfindungsgemäß verlängerten„Hals" am Dochthalter erreicht werden. By this extension according to the invention, the wick is supported in addition to the supporting action of the neck. In addition, the wick - at least if the wick from below can not aspirate a new fuel mass - not continue to burn, if it is burned down to the upper edge of the extension. The extension thus acts like a neck lengthened from the outset, with the difference that by attaching different extensions to the neck of a commercial wick holder and small series inventive wick holder can be produced economically, their economic production would hardly be possible without the invention. Thus, the invention enables the production of wick holders with elongated necks of different lengths based on wick holders with necks of uniform length. By limiting the punching tools to a small number of different types of wick holders, more economical production of a large number of different types of wick holders having different lengths of necks elongated according to the present invention is possible. An extension of the wick holder for the use of very thin wicks is also an advantage. So very thin wicks need a better grip so as not to tip into the liquid fuel mass. This can be achieved via the inventively extended "neck" on the wick holder.
Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalters wird ein hohlzylindrisches Verlängerungsstück auf oder in das hohle Halsstück des Dochthalters gesteckt. Vorzugsweise wird das Verlängerungsstück auf das Halsstück gesteckt, bevor der Dochthalter in eine Kerze eingeführt wird. Auf diese Weise ermöglicht die Erfindung die Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalters aus einem herkömmlichen Dochthalter. Die Anschaffung jeweils eines Stanzwerkzeugs für jede einzelne Dochthalter-Type ist daher nicht erforderlich. In a method according to the invention for producing the wick holder according to the invention, a hollow cylindrical extension piece is placed on or in the hollow neck piece of the wick holder. Preferably, the extension piece is placed on the neck piece before the wick holder is inserted into a candle. In this way, the invention enables the production of a wick holder according to the invention from a conventional wick holder. The purchase of a punching tool for each type of wick holder is therefore not required.
Vorzugsweise werden aus der Elektroindustrie bekannte Aderendhülsen auf bekannte, vorzugsweise handelsübliche Dochthalter montiert. Auf diese bekannten Dochthalter werden vorzugsweise Aderendhülsen als Verlängerungen mit Längen vorzugsweise zwischen 6mm und 20mm gesteckt. Aderendhülsen sind dem Fachmann bekannte handelsübliche Erzeugnisse der Industrie. Siehe hierzu auch die Seite„Aderendhülse". In : Wikipedia, Die freie Enzyklopädie. Bearbeitungsstand : 12. Mai 2012, 07 : 30 UTC. URL: http: //de. wikipedia.orq/w/index.php?title= Aderend h°/oC3%BCIse&oldid = 103127170 (Abgerufen : 15. Mai 2012, 15 : 53 UTC). Dabei werden Aderendhülsen verwendet, deren Innendurchmesser so bemessen ist, dass sich beim Aufstecken auf das Halsstück automatisch eine Klemmwirkung ergibt, dass also in mindestens einem Bereich, in dem die Aderendhülse das Halsstück umgibt, der Außendurchmesser des Halsstücks und der Innendurchmesser der Aderendhülse eine Presspassung ergeben oder eine Klemmwirkung haben. Auf diese Weise kann auf zusätzliche Fügetechniken zum Verbinden von Halsstück und Verlängerungsstück verzichtet werden. Preferably known from the electrical industry ferrules are mounted on known, preferably commercially available wick holder. Become to these known wick holders preferably wire end sleeves inserted as extensions with lengths preferably between 6mm and 20mm. Ferrules are known in the art commercial products of the industry. See also the page "Ferrules" in: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, as of: May 12, 2012, 07: 30 UTC URL: http: // en.wikipedia.orq / w / index.php? Title = Aderend h ° / oC3% BCIse & oldid = 103127170 (Obtained: 15 May 2012, 15: 53 UTC), using wire end ferrules whose inner diameter is dimensioned to automatically provide a clamping action when placed on the neck piece, ie in at least one The area in which the wire end sleeve surrounds the neck piece, the outer diameter of the neck piece and the inner diameter of the wire end ferrule press-fit or have a clamping action, thus eliminating the need for additional joining techniques for connecting the neck piece and extension piece.
Für die Montage der Verlängerungen auf den Hälsen der bekannten Dochthalter gibt es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten : There are different possibilities for mounting the extensions on the necks of the known wick holders:
Beispielsweise kann die Montage mit Hilfe eines speziell für diesen Zweck entwickelten Montageautomaten erfolgen. Dieser Montageautomat positioniert das Verlängerungsstück so, dass die Achsen des Verlängerungsstücks und des Halsstücks mit einer für das Aufstecken der Verlängerung auf das Halsstück erforderlichen Genauigkeit übereinstimmen. Anschließend führt der Montageautomat das Verlängerungsstück entlang der gemeinsamen Achse und steckt es auf das Halsstück. Durch eine zweckmäßige Abstimmung der äußeren Durchmesser der Halsstücke und der inneren Durchmesser der Verlängerungsstücke ergibt sich beim Aufstecken der Verlängerungen auf die Hälse vorzugsweise eine Klemmung, die eine Befestigung der Verlängerung auf dem Hals bewirkt. For example, the assembly can be done using a specially designed for this purpose assembly machine. This assembly machine positions the extension piece so that the axes of the extension piece and the throat piece coincide with an accuracy required for attaching the extension to the neck piece. Then the assembly machine leads the extension piece along the common axis and puts it on the neck piece. By appropriate adjustment of the outer diameter of the neck pieces and the inner diameter of the extension pieces is obtained when attaching the extensions to the necks preferably a clamp that causes attachment of the extension on the neck.
Eine Möglichkeit, einen solchen Montageautomaten bereitzustellen, besteht darin, einen sogenannten„Einfädler" so umzubauen, dass dieser Einfädler die Montage der Verlängerung auf dem Hals bewerkstelligen kann. Der sogenannte Einfädler wird in Kerzenfabriken üblicherweise eingesetzt, um Docht und Dochthalter zusammenzufügen. Vorteil dieser Lösung ist, dass diese Geräte einen relativ kleinen Platzbedarf haben, eine große Stückzahl verarbeiten können und die Zuführung des Dochthalters schon gelöst ist. One way to provide such an assembly machine is to reconstruct a so-called "threader" so that this threader can accomplish the mounting of the extension on the neck. "The so-called threader is commonly used in candle factories to assemble wick and wick holder is that these devices have a relatively small footprint, can process a large number of pieces and the feeding of the wick holder is already solved.
In jedem Fall wird das Verlängerungsstück auf das Halsstück auf- bzw. eingesteckt, bevor der dann zusammengesetzte Dochthalter mit einem Docht bestückt wird. Der mehrteilige Dochthalter kann genauso wie die einteiligen Dochthalter als fertiges Bauteil der Kerzenproduktion zugeführt. Erst während der Kerzenproduktion wird der Dochthalter mit einem Docht versehen. Danach wird der Docht samt Dochthalter entweder in festen Kerzenwachs eingesteckt und dann mit dem festen Wachs in einen Kerzenhalter eingebracht, oder er wird in einem Kerzenhalter fixiert, in den dann flüssiges Kerzenwachs gegossen wird, das sich dann im Kerzenhalter abkühlt und verfestigt. In any case, the extension piece on the neck piece is inserted or inserted before the then assembled wick holder is equipped with a wick. The multipart The wick holder, like the one-piece wick holders, can be used as a finished component in candle production. Only during candle production is the wick holder provided with a wick. Thereafter, the wick together with wick holder is either inserted into solid candle wax and then introduced with the solid wax in a candle holder, or it is fixed in a candle holder, in which then liquid candle wax is poured, which then cools in the candle holder and solidifies.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Dochthalter vorgesehen, der eine Basisplatte 1 mit einem zentralen Durchzug in Form eines hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes 2 (Halsstücks) aufweist. Die Zylinderachse 3 dieses hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes steht senkrecht von der Basisplatte 1 ab. Diese Merkmale des erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalters weisen auch bekannte Dochthalter auf, die sich als Ausgangspunkt zur Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalters eignen. Im Unterschied zu den bekannten Dochthaltern (Figuren 1, 3 und 5) ist bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Dochthalter (Figuren 2, 4 und 6) an dem hohlzylindrischen Ansatz 2 eine hohlzylindrische Verlängerung 4 (Verlängerungsstück) so angebracht, dass die Zylinderachsen 3 des hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes und der hohlzylindrischen Verlängerung übereinstimmen. According to the invention, a wick holder is provided, which has a base plate 1 with a central passage in the form of a hollow cylindrical projection 2 (neck piece). The cylinder axis 3 of this hollow cylindrical projection is perpendicular from the base plate 1 from. These features of the wick holder according to the invention also have known wick holder, which are suitable as a starting point for the production of a wick holder according to the invention. In contrast to the known wick holders (Figures 1, 3 and 5) is in a wick holder according to the invention (Figures 2, 4 and 6) on the hollow cylindrical projection 2, a hollow cylindrical extension 4 (extension piece) mounted so that the cylinder axes 3 of the hollow cylindrical projection and to match the hollow cylindrical extension.
Durch diese Verlängerung 4 wird der Docht 7 zusätzlich zur Stützwirkung des Halsstücks 2 gestützt. Außerdem kann der Docht 7 nicht weiter abbrennen, wenn er bis auf den oberen Rand der Verlängerung 4 abgebrannt ist. Die Verlängerung wirkt also wie ein von vornherein verlängerter Hals, mit dem Unterschied, dass durch das Aufstecken unterschiedlicher Verlängerungen auf das Halsstück eines handelsüblichen Dochthalters auch Kleinserien erfindungsgemäßer Dochthalter wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden können, deren wirtschaftliche Herstellung ohne die Erfindung kaum möglich wäre. By this extension 4, the wick 7 is supported in addition to the supporting action of the neck piece 2. In addition, the wick 7 can not continue to burn if it is burned down to the upper edge of the extension 4. The extension thus acts like a neck lengthened from the outset, with the difference that by putting different extensions on the neck of a commercial wick holder and small series inventive wick holder can be produced economically, their economic production would hardly be possible without the invention.
Besonders einfach kann ein erfindungsgemäßer Dochthalter aus einem bekannten Dochthalter hergestellt werden, wenn der äußere Radius 5 des hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes (Halsstücks) mit zunehmender Entfernung 6 von der Basisplatte abnimmt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dies im oberen Bereich 8 des hohlzylindrischen Ansatzes (Halses) vorgesehen. Da die Abnahme des äußeren Radius, d.h. der leicht konische Verlauf des Halsstücks, im oberen Bereich 8 vorzugsweise so gering ist, dass eine zylindrische Röhre, vorzugsweise eine A- derendhülse, als Verlängerungsstück leicht auf das in seinem oberen Bereich vorzugsweise ebenfalls zylindrisch geformten Halsstück gesteckt werden kann, ist der leicht konische Verlauf des Halses in diesem Bereich in den Figuren nicht dargestellt. Particularly simple, a wick holder according to the invention can be made of a known wick holder when the outer radius 5 of the hollow cylindrical neck (neck) decreases with increasing distance 6 from the base plate. This is particularly advantageous in the upper area 8 of the hollow cylindrical neck (neck) provided. Since the decrease in the outer radius, i. the slightly conical course of the neck piece, in the upper region 8 is preferably so small that a cylindrical tube, preferably an A- end sleeve, as an extension piece can be easily inserted on the preferably cylindrical in its upper portion neck piece, the slightly conical course of the neck in this area not shown in the figures.
Der Ansatz (Halsstück) verläuft in den in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Beispielen im unteren Bereich in der Nähe der Basisplatte zunächst konisch und im oberen Bereich 8 ge- genüber der Basisplatte zunehmend zylindrisch oder fast zylindrisch. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist ein zylindrisch oder - insbesondere im oberen Bereich 8 - fast zylindrisch geformter Ansatz dargestellt. Der Ansatz der in den Fig. 5 und 6 gezeigten Dochthalter ist im unteren Bereich konisch oder pyramidal und im oberen Bereich 8 zylindrisch oder fast zylindrisch geformt. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the neck (neck piece) initially runs conically in the lower region in the vicinity of the base plate and in the upper region 8. compared to the base plate increasingly cylindrical or almost cylindrical. FIGS. 3 and 4 show a cylindrical or, in particular in the upper region 8, an almost cylindrically shaped projection. The approach of the wick holder shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is conical or pyramidal in the lower region and cylindrical or almost cylindrical in the upper region 8.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Dochthalter kann ganz besonders einfach mit einem in herkömmlicher Weise aus einer gestanzten, insbesondere runden Blechscheibe durch Tiefziehen hergestellten Dochthalter und einer aus Metall bestehenden Aderendhülse geeigneter Länge erzeugt werden. Der Übergang des Blechs des herkömmlichen Dochthalters in das Halsstück (betrachtet im Längsschnitt durch den Dochthalter) ist aufgrund des Herstellungsprozesses nicht eckig, sondern gekrümmt. Auf das Halsstück wird die als Verlängerungsstück verwendete Aderendhülse aus Metall mit ihrem konischen Einführkragen voran soweit aufgeschoben und aufgedrückt, dass der Einführkonus der Aderendhülse auf der Außenfläche des Dochthalters festgeklemmt wird, wobei der Radius im Bereich des Übergangs von Basisplatte und Halsstück eine Keilwirkung entfaltet. A wick holder according to the invention can be produced particularly simply with a wick holder produced in a conventional manner from a stamped, in particular round sheet-metal disk by deep-drawing, and a wire end sleeve of suitable length made of metal. The transition of the sheet of the conventional wick holder in the neck piece (viewed in longitudinal section through the wick holder) is not angular, but curved due to the manufacturing process. On the neckpiece used as an extension piece wire end ferrule of metal with its conical insertion collar is pushed forward and pressed so far that the Einführkonus the ferrule is clamped on the outer surface of the wick holder, the radius unfolds in the region of the transition from the base plate and neck piece a wedging action.
