Definitions

  • Scented candles are a popular way to create a pleasant ambience at home. Scents such as lavender, jasmine, and sandalwood can be relaxing and invigorating. During the holidays, many people find the warm glow and aroma of pine, gingerbread, or cinnamon to make a room more festive and inviting. With such a high number of scented candles available to the consumer, the function of the invention will allow the consumer to easily identify the fragrance of interest. The invention allows for a faithful rendition of the perfumed candle through the direct use of the scented candle.
  • a sampler for lipstick is related in the U.S. Pat. No 5,562,112.
  • a coated cover stock upon which a lipstick is screen printed in any desired pattern.
  • a perimeter adhesive is applied to the coated face stock and a clear cover sheet is laminated over the lipstick.
  • the cover serves to prevent offset and projects the image of a clean, sanitary product.
  • a sampler for a fragrance candle material sample includes the following:
  • a sample of a fragrance candle material applied directly to a selected area of an upper surface of a vapor barrier bottom layer.
  • a vapor barrier top layer applied directly, without an intermediate layer, over the sample and at least a selected area of the upper surface of the vapor barrier of the bottom layer.
  • a user can separate at least part of said top layer from the bottom layer to expose at least part of the sample to the atmosphere and allow the volatile molecules in the sample to be released.
  • the top layer can be designed to again be sealed to the bottom layer to prevent further release of the volatile molecules in the sample.
  • Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing the disclosed sampler includes the following:
  • the sample of the fragrance candle material may be diluted with compatible additives such as waxes (paraffin wax, soy wax%) and solvents (isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, dioctyl adipate%) to help the volatile molecules to be released when the sampler is opened, and to adjust the hardness and melting point of the candle wax leading to a better application of the wax on the said bottom layer.
  • compatible additives such as waxes (paraffin wax, soy wax%) and solvents (isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, dioctyl adipate)
  • a stabilizer and/or colored substance may be added to the mixing to stabilize and/or color the mixing the sample.
  • the sample of melted candle material is applied to an intermediate pad and transferred to the base layer.
  • the pad may be in any shape (disc, rectangle, candle).
  • the candle wax may be colored with pigments.
  • the sample of scented wax is applied to a substantially central area of a substantially vapor impermeable plastic or laminate sheet bottom layer, which may be in the form of disc, rounded rectangle or other shape.
  • the top layer is typically a similar shape as the bottom layer of the same material or another plastic or laminate sheet material.
  • the seal between the bottom and top layers may be formed by surface to surface contact adhesion between the opposed faces of the bottom and top layers or by an adhesive or other bonding (such as heat-sealing, Radio-Frequency sealing) between the opposed faces of the bottom and top layers.
  • such a seal is formed around the periphery of the contacting opposed faces of the bottom and top layers and is conveniently radially inset from the edges of the layers over at least part of its length to provide an unbonded tab or edge which can be gripped by the user to separate the bottom and top layers when it is desired.
  • Figure l is a vertical cross-section view through the sampler.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of a sampler.
  • Figure 3 shows a roller applicator of the scented candle material.
  • Figure 4 depicts a process for the manufacture of a sampler shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 is a vertical cross-section view through another embodiment of a sampler.
  • Figure 6 is a vertical cross-section view through another embodiment of a sampler.
  • the sampler disclosed is shown in Figures 1 and 2. It comprises a bottom barrier layer (1) on which is applied the pre-melted and diluted scented candle wax (2) and over which is applied a top barrier layer (3).
  • a seal ring of adhesive (4) or other sealing bond is placed around the periphery of the bottom layer (1) to keep in place the top layer to avoid the release of odorous, volatile molecules.
  • the top (3) and bottom (1) layers may be sealed together by heating or by another process or created to enable an auto adhesive utilizing their surface energy properties ( Figure 6). In these cases, the adhesive ring (4) is not necessary.
  • the bottom layer (1) can be made from odorless, plastic materials which are not degraded or dissolved by the sample candle materials to be applied to them, and which will present good barrier properties.
  • An example of those materials are polyolefins, such as polyethylenes, polypropylenes, or polyester.
  • Polymers for use in the bottom or top layer are polyester polymers, e.g. polyethyleneterephtalate.
  • the bottom layer may be a laminate of two or more different materials. For example, a polyethylene or an amorphous polyester upper layer with a polyester under layer, bonded together by an adhesive interface such as a polyacrylic adhesive. This kind of laminate may be selected if a peelable heat-seal is desired.
  • the bottom layer may be treated (corona discharge) or coated in order to enhance the adhesion of the sample of scented candle material to the surface of the polymeric bottom layer material.
  • an adhesive layer (7) may be applied to the bottom layer’ s reverse face to which the candle material is applied. That adhesive layer allows for placement of the sampler on a carrier such as a card or a newspaper.
  • the top layer (3) can be made from the same materials as the bottom layer (1).
  • the top layer may also be treated or coated to aid the adhesion of any adhesive or printing thereto.
  • the scented candle material (2) is applied directly to the bottom layer in liquid form after melting and diluted if desired with suitable additives (solvents and/or waxes).
  • the solvents may be an organic oil such as isopropyl myristate or isopropyl palmitate or a hydrocarbon such as a paraffinic oil.
  • the waxes may be a paraffinic wax, soy wax, microcrystalline wax such as Vybar 103.
  • the choice of the diluents will depend on the candle wax.
  • the use of additives may assist with the adhesion of the candle on the bottom layer, modify the melting point of the candle and may help the release of the candle volatiles molecules.
  • the percentage of solvents or/and waxes added in the melted candle material can vary and will need to be determined for any scented candle.
  • the amount of candle/diluent materials which are applied to the bottom layer may be adjusted in accordance with the strength of the scents desired.
  • the top and bottom layers may be selected to adhere, or to be sealed to one another and form a vapor barrier seal around the area to which the sample of candle material has been applied.
  • an adhesive (4) or similar bonding material needs to be applied, preferably around the area to which the candle material has been applied to the bottom layer (1). It is preferred to provide at least part of the radially outward edge of the sampler as an unbonded edge (5) or tab so that a user may easily pull off the top layer.
  • the adhesive (4) used to bond the top and the bottom layers together may be a water or solvent base adhesive.
  • a pressure sensitive adhesive such as a polyacrylate adhesive or a hot-melt adhesive may be used for example. In the case of the adhesive use with solvent or water that needs to be removed, it is preferred that the removal step is done before the application of the candle material in order to avoid the contamination of the sample rendition.
  • the use of water base polyacrylic adhesive is preferred.
  • Printing / images may be added on the bottom layer (1) and/or the top layer (3).
  • the ink can be applied in a separate printing operation from the applying the sample. This printing may be achieved before or after the application of the scented candle material to the bottom layer.
  • the disclosed sampler is preferably made by applying an adhesive ring (4) around the sample area (2) of the bottom sheet (1) to which a sample of scented candle material is to be applied. Then a top layer (4) is applied over the sample area (2) to form a laminate from which the required sampler discs are cut, by stamping, for example.
  • the adhesive (4) is preferably applied to the bottom layer (1) using a conventional sculptured roller applicator (10) shown in Figure 3.
  • the adhesive may be dried by a hot air blower (11) before the application of the sample of candle material, particularly when the adhesive is a water-based product.
  • the candle material is preferably melted and diluted in a temperature-controlled bath (6) applied to the bottom layer (1) using a conventional sculptured roller applicator (12) shown in Figure 3 after the application and drying of the adhesive or ink (on the bottom layer).
  • the rollers are kept in a controlled temperature atmosphere by using a hot tunnel or a hot air blower (8) to avoid the solidification of the waxy material on the rollers and on the pads.
  • the shape of adhesive and/or candle material application can be defined in function of the pad (9) shape used on the roller.
  • the adhesive and/or candle material may be applied by a non-contact or ink-jet printer technique.
  • An adhesive (4) and a melted candle material diluted or not (2) are applied on a bottom layer (1) then covered with a top layer by passing the two layers (1) and (3) carrying the adhesive (4) and the candle material through the nip of a pressure roller (14).
  • the top layer (3) can be printed by using a printing unit (15).
  • the composite laminate can be heated or dried by a hot air blower (16) or other means to remove residual water or solvent and/or cured by UV light (17).
  • the top layer may be preprinted before the production of the sampler. In that case, a registration system will be necessary.
  • the sampler (19) is separated from the composite utilizing a cutter such as a stamp or an air blade cutter (18).
  • a cutter such as a stamp or an air blade cutter (18).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un échantillonneur pour un échantillon d'un matériau de bougie cireuse parfumée. Le matériau cireux parfumé est fondu et peut être dilué avec des additifs et/ou un liquide compatibles (huile organique ou hydrocarbure), avant d'être stratifié sur une face d'une couche inférieure. Une couche supérieure (3) est appliquée directement sur l'échantillon et peut être collée à la couche inférieure pour former un joint. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, un joint périphérique est formé entre les couches supérieure et inférieure. Le joint peut être séparé par un utilisateur tirant sur une languette d'une partie de la couche supérieure pour exposer la face de l'échantillon à l'atmosphère permettant de libérer les molécules volatiles présentes dans la bougie. Avec une colle repositionnable en tant que joint, la couche supérieure peut être remplacée pour empêcher une libération supplémentaire de molécules volatiles. La présente invention concerne également un procédé de réalisation de l'échantillon.
