Description

Musical candle perfected.

The present Utility Model application consists as indicated in a "musical candle" perfected ", whose new construction features conformation and design, fulfills the projected with a security and maximum efficiency

More specifically the invention relates to a candle-shaped gift item, equipped with the corresponding wick that every time it is lit and its wick, generates some musical notes of a predetermined song, ceasing said notes when it is turned off, counting for this function a chassis equipped with electrical elements.

There is no known background to this invention, since the novelty of it is the consequence of incorporate in it a thermocouple device that activates and deactivate the device generating musical notes, in function of the heat generated by the heating of the wick. Devices that we could consider as prior art similar, they are formed by the same elements but differ in the means of activating and deactivating musical notes and  they lack the main motive of the invention, the candle.

The purpose of this utility model is formed by a kind of base or circular configuration chassis, on which the elements are arranged mechanical-electrical, while supporting the candle itself, so that the user only sees the candle, cylindrical configuration, the aforementioned base, and the end of the wick. The base houses thanks to its special configuration a sensibly prismatic housing to house batteries or batteries, a speaker, an electronic board a push button and a welded wire on one of the plate's tracks. On the part bottom the base is closed by a conventional lid. The shape of the base determines the shape of the candle, so that the invention will be presented in several mainly basic formats square to support a candle of square section, and circular to house a candle of circular section.

The wire is connected on one side to the aforementioned electronic board, through a bimetal switch, and coated of the wick itself and the body of the candle, when the user turns on the end of the wick, heats the wire and The switch closes the electronic circuit included in the board, activating the speaker and playing the musical notes on it recorded on the electronic board, which can be interrupted by a two position switch, pressing the end right the speaker volume is controlled, and pressing the end  left the musical notes are interrupted, when the candle is extinguished, extinguishing the flame in it, the musical notes.

The body of the candle rests on the base by screws that are screwed directly onto the wax the candle, and in the central part of it there is a fine circular drill for the passage of the wick in whose interior part has placed the wire welded in series to a switch bi-metal, and this to the electronic board.

Other details and features will be put manifest in the course of the description that follows it is given, in which reference is made to the drawings that this memory are accompanied in those in a schematic way represent the preferred details, these details are given by title illustrative, but not limiting of the invention.

Follow below a detailed relationship of the main elements of the invention that appear in the attached figures; (10) candle, (11) body, (12) base, (13-14-15) widening cylindrical, studs, (17) base of the studs, (18) protrude, (19) cover, (20) underside of (17), (18) holes, (19) cover, (20) underside of (17), (21) holes, (22) bottom cap, (23) wick, (24) depression, (25) push button, (26) speaker, (27) plate electronics, (28) studs, (29) housing, (30) switch, (31) holes, (32) step, (33) upper face, (34) wire, (35) flange, (36) screws, (37) switch bi-metal

Figure 1 is a front view in elevation of the musical candle (10).

Figure 2 is a plan view of the face bottom (20) of the base (17).

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the base (17), when it is devoid of its upper part and the candle (10).

Figure 4 is a top plan view of the base (12), devoid of the candle (10).

Figure 5 is a top plan view of a longitudinal elevation section of the wire (34) coated with the wick (23).

In one of the preferred embodiments the invention is formed by a configuration base (12) noticeably circular, formed by three widenings (13-14-15) circular each of smaller diameter than the next, and one on top of the other and so successively, so that on the upper face (33) of the upper (13) the candle (10) itself is mounted, thanks to three  screws not shown in the figures, and through (33) through the holes (31) provided on the surface thereof.

On the lateral surface of the base (12) and on the lower widening (14) a drill is provided noticeably elliptical, through which the body of the button passes (25) and on its lower perimeter the cover is screwed together lower (22), housing them in the lugs (28), see the figure n ° 3. In said cover (22) a housing is provided noticeably prismatic (29), and a circular flange (35) in the se pressurizes the speaker (26), and on some lugs (37) not represented, except one, in the figures by screws (36) the electronic board (27) is fixed to said cover (22).

The button (25) is housed at the bottom of the plate (27) and welded its terminals to said plate, when the user lights the wick (23) by the action of heat on the wire (34) this transmits the same to the bimetal switch (37) see figure 5 which closes the electrical circuit and activates the speaker listening to some musical notes thanks to the special programming of said plate (27).

The musical notes are activated by the ignition of the wick (23), which runs vertically through the body of (10) and peeks out through depression (24) and are interrupted when it goes out, likewise the notes can be interrupted by a slight user pressure on the button (25), or increase the sound volume of the same. In the lower part of the cover (22) a series of holes in circular distribution to let the sound originated from the speaker (26), as well as a small cover (19) to allow the introduction of batteries or batteries inside of housing (29), the upper perimeter of (19) is protected by the projection (18) in the form of "U".

The candle (10) with its base (12), rest on any horizontal surface by means of studs (16), pressurized to the bases (17), see figure 2.

Alternatively, the candle (10) may be noticeably prismatic, and the configuration of the base (12) also according to the shape of the candle, being the disposition of the other elements of the invention totally identical.

Suitably described the present invention in correspondence with the attached plans, it is easy to understand that may be introduced in the same as many modifications are estimated convenient, as long as variations of detail that modify the essentiality of the invention object of the present utility model, which is summarized in the following claims.
