There are many types of wax, which is a candle material. In addition, by mixing various additives with this wax, the characteristics of candles such as how to burn, hardness, texture, transparency, air bubbles, and molding condition will interact in a complicated manner. Therefore, in candle production, it is very difficult to adjust the amount of wax, the mixing ratio, and the additives. In addition, since candle materials dislike oxidation, it is important to manage their preservation. Furthermore, temperature control when melting the candle material is very important for good and safe molding, and it is one of the most important points in candle making.

An object of the present invention is to provide a candle material container capable of easily performing complicated preparation and management of a candle material and temperature control during candle production.

One aspect of the present invention is a candle material container including a candle material containing granular solid wax and a container provided of a material that can be boiled in hot water and containing the candle material in a sealed manner. According to such a configuration, since the candle material necessary for candle production is stored in a container in a sealed state in advance, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of mixing and managing the material. In addition, the candle material contained in the container can be melted by boiling water, and the temperature can be easily controlled.

In the candle material container, the container preferably has strength and heat conduction characteristics that soften the solid wax while keeping the candle material in a sealed state by boiling in boiling water. As a result, the candle material can be melted in a state suitable for molding simply by putting the container in boiling water and boiling it in hot water.

The candle material container may be configured to float on water while the candle material is contained in a container. This makes it difficult for the container of the candle material container to touch the bottom surface (heated surface) of the water bath when boiling water.

In the candle material container, the container may have at least a part of a transparent portion so that the contained candle material can be visually recognized. This makes it possible to check the condition, color, and remaining amount of the candle material from the outside of the container.

In the candle material container, the candle material may be a mixed material containing at least one of a colorant and a fragrance in addition to the solid wax. As a result, the mixed material prepared in the optimum ratio for candle production can be prepared in advance, and the troublesomeness of the preparation can be eliminated.

In the candle material container, the inside of the container containing the candle material may be vacuum-sealed. By vacuum-sealing the inside of the pouch container, it is possible to effectively suppress damage to the pouch container due to expansion of the candle material during hot water boiling.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description of the members once described will be omitted as appropriate.

(Construction of candle material housing)
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating the configuration of the candle material container according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment includes a candle material 10 containing at least granular solid wax 101 and a pouch container 20 which is an example of a container for sealing and containing the candle material 10. To be equipped.

In addition to the solid wax 101, the candle material 10 may contain additives such as a colorant (pigment, dye) 102 and a fragrance 103. The additive is a material to be added to the solid wax 101 as the main material, and in addition to the colorant 102 and the fragrance 103, other wax added to the main material may be referred to as an additive.

Examples of the solid wax 101 include paraffin wax, stearic acid wax, soybean wax, coconut wax, beeswax, and palm wax. Since the solid wax 101 has different components depending on the type, there are differences in melting point, viscosity characteristics depending on temperature, and flash point. For example, the melting point of paraffin wax is about 47 ° C. to 69 ° C., and the flash point is 200 ° C. or higher. The melting point of soybean wax is about 43 ° C. to 52 ° C., and the flash point is 200 ° C. or higher. Beeswax has a melting point of about 64 ° C and a flash point of 250 ° C or higher.

In this embodiment, the candle material 10 contains at least granular solid wax 101. The granular size is about 1 mm or more and 20 mm or less in diameter equivalent to a circle. Here, the shape of the granules in the granules includes various shapes such as pellets, plates, granules, flakes, and blocks.

The optimum grain size and shape are selected according to the melting point and viscosity characteristics of the solid wax 101. That is, the size and shape of the grains that can be made to have the optimum viscosity for molding by hot water boiling using the pouch container 20 described later are set in advance. Further, since the solid wax 101 is granular, heat is efficiently transferred when it is melted by hot water boiling, and it becomes easy to melt. Further, the degree of freedom of the shape when housed in the pouch container 20 is increased, which facilitates storage, storage, and product display.

The pouch container 20 is made of a material that can be boiled in hot water. The pouch container 20 is a bag-shaped laminated film. For example, the first surface 20a on the front surface side and the second surface 20b on the back surface side are overlapped, and the edge portions are bonded (thermocompression bonding, welding, etc.). Further, it may have a third surface 20c that is on the bottom surface side. By having the third surface 20c, the pouch container 20 can have a gusset, and the pouch container 20 can be made to stand on its own.

As the material of the laminate film used as the pouch container 20 that can be boiled in hot water, plastic, aluminum, L-LDPE (linear low density polyethylene) and the like are used. A material having low density, flexibility, transparency, and excellent low temperature sealing property is preferable. The heat resistant temperature is about 120 ° C. or higher and 125 ° C. or lower. Further, it is more preferable to use a material having excellent heat resistance, such as polyester, PA (polyamide), aluminum, PE (polyethylene), and a plurality of materials made of two or more of these, for the pouch container 20.

By sealing and accommodating the candle material 10 in the pouch container 20, the candle material 10 can be protected from moisture and oxygen, and can be stored for a long period of time. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 1, a spout (spout) 25 is provided at a corner portion of the pouch container 20. When the spout 25 is provided with the cap 25a, it is possible to reseal the candle material 10 when it is not used up.

Further, the pouch container 20 may have at least a transparent portion (including a translucent portion) such that the contained candle material 10 can be visually recognized. Further, the entire pouch container 20 may be transparent or translucent. Thereby, the state, color, and remaining amount of the candle material 10 can be confirmed from the outside of the pouch container 20. The transparent portion may be provided on the bottom of the pouch container 20. In this case, when the pouch container 20 is turned upside down when boiling in hot water, the transparent portion at the bottom of the pouch container 20 is turned up, and the inside of the pouch container 20 can be confirmed from above.

In the present embodiment, the pouch container 20 has strength and heat conduction characteristics that can soften the solid wax 101 while keeping the candle material 10 in a sealed state by boiling in boiling water. As a result, the candle material 10 can be melted in a state suitable for molding (mixed state, viscosity) simply by putting the pouch container 20 in boiling water and boiling it in hot water. Further, even if the water bath is continued, the candle material 10 does not exceed the temperature of the boiling water, so that it does not reach the flash point.

As the candle material 10 to be housed in the pouch container 20, in addition to the solid wax 101, a mixed material containing the necessary colorant 102 and fragrance 103 in advance can be used. As a result, the mixed material prepared in the optimum ratio for candle production can be stored in one pouch container 20 in advance, eliminating the need for troublesome mixing work such as preparing separately, weighing, and mixing at the right timing. Become.

When the candle material 10 is melted, the volume increases as compared with that before melting. Depending on the type of candle material 10, there are some that increase by about 20% when melted. In the present embodiment, when the candle material 10 is stored in the pouch container 20, the pouch container 20 is housed so that the sealed state can be maintained even if the candle material 10 melts in the pouch container 20 and the volume increases. The ratio of the content of the candle material 10 to the amount is adjusted. Further, the sealing strength is such that the candle material 10 is not damaged even if the volume of the candle material 10 is increased in the pouch container 20.

As described above, it is a characteristic of the candle material 10 that the volume is increased by melting, and a configuration different from that of storing the general food and drink in the pouch container 20 is required. As one of them, when the candle material 10 is housed in the pouch container 20, it is preferable to fill the pouch container 20 with gas (air, nitrogen, etc.). The amount of filling is such that even if the internal pressure of the pouch container 20 rises when the candle material 10 melts and the volume increases, the gas in the pouch container 20 acts as a buffer and works favorably in breaking the seal of the pouch container 20. The amount. Further, by filling with an inert gas such as nitrogen, deterioration (oxidation or the like) of the candle material 10 contained in the pouch container 20 can be suppressed.

(Candle production using candle material container)
Next, an example of candle production using the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
2 to 4 are schematic views illustrating an example of candle production.
First, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment is boiled in hot water. FIG. 2A shows an example of a water bath using an outer container 200 such as a pot, and FIG. 2B shows an example of a water bath using an electronic kettle 250. For example, hot water HW is boiled in an outer container 200 by a heat source 300 such as an electromagnetic cooker or a gas stove, and the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment is placed therein. Whether or not the hot water HW has boiled can be visually determined. That is, since the temperature is about 100 ° C. in the boiling state, it is not necessary to control the temperature using a thermometer.

In a state where the hot water HW is boiling, the candle material container 1 is put in and the water is boiled. It is preferable to measure the time for boiling in hot water after putting the candle material container 1. By boiling in hot water for a predetermined time, the candle material 10 contained in the pouch container 20 of the candle material container 1 is melted in a state of being sealed in the pouch container 20.

When boiling in hot water, the pouch container 20 may be placed upright (bottom down). In the present embodiment, since the solid wax 101 is granular, the solid wax 101 tends to collect on the bottom side of the pouch container 20. Therefore, when the pouch container 20 is placed in the outer container 200 or the electronic kettle 250 so as to stand upright, the pouch container 20 may be soaked in hot water HW halfway. On the other hand, when boiling in hot water, the pouch container 20 may be laid down. When the pouch container 20 is laid down, the solid wax spreads over the entire pouch container 20, so that the solid wax 101 can be melted even with a small amount of hot water HW. As described above, since the granular candle material 10 is housed in the pouch container 20, the candle material 10 can be efficiently melted in a flexible manner corresponding to the posture of the pouch container 20 when boiling in hot water.

When boiling in hot water, the pouch container 20 may be turned upside down so that the bottom is facing up. For example, if a transparent portion is provided on the bottom of the pouch container 20, it is possible to confirm how the solid wax 101 of the pouch container 20 melts from the transparent portion on the top.

Further, the candle material container 1 may be configured to float on water while the candle material 10 is housed in the pouch container 20. For example, by adjusting the specific gravity of the candle material 10 and the pouch container 20 and the amount of air in the pouch container 20, the candle material 10 and the pouch container 20 are made to float on water. This makes it difficult for the pouch container 20 of the candle material container 1 to touch the bottom surface (heated surface) of the outer container 200 and the electronic kettle 250 when boiling in hot water. Since the bottom surface of the outer container 200 and the electronic kettle 250 is close to the heat source, the melting possibility of the pouch container 20 can be reduced if the pouch container 20 does not come into direct contact with the bottom surface. By using a material having excellent heat resistance as the pouch container 20, melting of the pouch container 20 can be suppressed even if the pouch container 20 touches the bottom surface of the outer container 200 or the electronic kettle 250.

Further, in order to hold the pouch container 20 in an upright state when boiling in hot water, a jig (not shown) may be used. Examples of the jig include a weight that holds the pouch container 20, and a jig that is hooked on the edge of the outer container 200 or the electronic kettle 250 in a state where the upper part of the pouch container 20 is clipped and erected. ..

The time for boiling in hot water is preset according to the type of candle material 10 contained in the pouch container 20. Since the pouch container 20 contains a predetermined solid wax 101, or the solid wax 101 is mixed with the colorant 102 and the fragrance 103 in a predetermined amount and ratio, it is molded by boiling in boiling water HW. The time to reach the optimum viscosity is set. Therefore, the user can melt the candle material 10 in a state suitable for molding only by measuring the time for boiling the candle material container 1 of the present embodiment in the boiling water HW.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the melted candle material 10 (10a) is poured from the pouch container 20 into the mold 50 which is a molding mold. A core 30 is previously hung from the mold 50 by a support rod 60. Further, a mold release agent is applied to the inner side surface 50a of the mold 50. In this state, the candle material 10 (10a) melted in a water bath is poured from the pouch container 20 into the mold 50 (let's pour). The candle material 10 is optimally mixed by boiling in a pouch container 20 and has a viscosity suitable for pouring.

Since the melted candle material 10 (10a) is sealed in the pouch container 20, the candle material 10 (10a) will not be touched even if the pouch container 20 is held by hand. When the pouch container 20 is provided with the spout 25, the candle material 10 (10a) melted from the spout 25 can be easily and surely poured into the mold 50 by removing the cap 25a and opening the container.

When the candle material 10 is not used up, the surplus candle material 10 can be stored in a sealed state again by closing the cap 25a of the spout 25. The next time it is used, the candle material 10 can be melted by boiling it in hot water again.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4A, the candle material 10a poured into the mold 50 is cooled and hardened. It takes about several hours for the candle material 10 to completely harden. After the candle material 10 has hardened, it is taken out from the mold 50 as shown in FIG. 4 (b). As a result, the candle 100 is completed.

As described above, by using the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment, temperature control using a thermometer becomes unnecessary, and the candle material 10 melted by the water bath is simply poured from the pouch container 20 into the mold 50. , It becomes possible to manufacture the candle 100 easily and safely.

(Example of other pouch containers)
5 (a) to 5 (c) are schematic views showing an example of another pouch container.
FIG. 5A shows a pouch container 20 having a spout 25 in the center of the upper part. When the spout 25 is provided in the center of the upper part, when the melted candle material 10 is poured into the mold 50, the balance is good when the spout 25 is held down by hand, and it is easy to perform the pouring work.

FIG. 5B shows a pouch container 20 with a fastener 27. The fastener 27 allows the opening and closing to be freely performed, and the opening of the pouch container 20 can be enlarged by opening the fastener 27, so that the candle material 10 melted during the pouring work can be poured into the mold 50 in a short time. It becomes.

FIG. 5C shows a pouch container 20 provided with a notch 29. Although the pouch container 20 is a type in which the candle material 10 is used up, the pouch container 20 can be securely closed, which is effective for long-term storage of the candle material 10. Further, the inside of the pouch container 20 containing the candle material 10 may be vacuum-sealed. By vacuum-sealing the inside of the pouch container 20, damage to the pouch container 20 due to expansion of the candle material 10 during hot water boiling can be effectively suppressed, and the candle material 10 housed in the pouch container 20 can be effectively suppressed. Deterioration (oxidation, etc.) can be suppressed.

Here, in the pouch container 20 shown in FIG. 5C, since the container is highly airtight before use (before the cut portion 29 is cut and opened), the inside of the pouch container 20 can be easily vacuum-sealed. If the pouch container 20 is sealed so that the mouth of the pouch container 20 does not open due to the expansion of the candle material 10 when it is boiled in hot water, the inside of the pouch container 20 provided with the spout 25 or the pouch container 20 provided with the fastener 27. May be vacuum sealed.

The vacuum-sealed state is a state of a space filled with a gas having a pressure lower than the normal atmospheric pressure, and may be a low vacuum state of, for example, 100 kPa (kilopascal) to 100 Pa (pascal) at an absolute pressure. Specifically, it is about 90 kPa to 10 kPa, more preferably about 45 kPa to 30 kPa.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the pouch container is vacuum-sealed.
FIG. 6 shows a photograph of the pouch container 20 containing the candle material 10 in a vacuum-sealed state. By vacuum-sealing in this way, the candle material 10 can be easily stored for a long period of time. In addition, since the mixed material prepared in the optimum ratio for candle production is vacuum-sealed in the pouch container 20, the seller can stock the candle material 10 for a long period of time, and the volume is small, which is advantageous for storage and transportation. It becomes.

Further, for the user who manufactures the candle, it becomes easy to stock the favorite candle material 10 because it is vacuum-sealed. In addition, for users who do not frequently make candles, the candle material 10 that has been in stock for a long period of time can be used when they think of it, and they can immediately enjoy making candles without having to perform troublesome compounding work each time. You will be able to do it.

(Comparison example)
Next, a comparative example will be described.
7 (a) and 7 (b) are schematic views for explaining a comparative example.
FIG. 7A shows an example of melting the candle material 10 by the direct heat method, and FIG. 7B shows an example of melting the candle material 10 by the water bath method.

In the direct heat method shown in FIG. 7A, the solid candle material 10 is placed in the outer container 200 and heated by a heat source 300 such as an electromagnetic cooker or a gas stove to melt the candle material 10. In the direct flame heating method, it is necessary to constantly monitor the temperature of the candle material 10 using a thermometer 400. That is, when the wax is heated, it may catch fire if it is heated too much. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the wax with a thermometer 400 so as not to exceed the flash point (200 ° C. or higher) of the wax.

In the water bath method shown in FIG. 7B, hot water HW is put in the outer container 200, and the inner container 210 containing the candle material 10 is attached to the hot water HW for hot water boiling. In the water bath method, there is less risk of ignition due to overheating as compared with the direct flame heating method, but temperature control by a thermometer 400 is necessary in order to grasp the optimum state for molding. Further, in the case of the water bath method, there is a risk that the boiling water HW is mixed in the candle material 10 of the inner container 210 and the candle material 10 is scattered.

In contrast to such a comparative example, the water bath using the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment has the following merits.
(1) Since the candle material 10 is set to be melted in an optimum state by putting the pouch container 20 in boiling water HW and boiling it in hot water, it is not necessary to control the temperature by the thermometer 400.
(2) Since the candle material 10 is boiled in hot water in a sealed state in the pouch container 20, boiling water HW does not mix with the candle material 10.
(3) Since the candle material 10 melts in a state of being sealed in the pouch container 20, the melted candle material 10 does not come into direct contact with the melted candle material 10. That is, even when the candle material 10 is melted and then poured into the mold 50, the pouch container 20 in a water bath can be held and poured, so that the work can be performed easily and safely.
(4) Candles can be manufactured easily and reliably without any knowledge about the melting point and flash point of wax or specialized knowledge in candle making.
(5) No special tools are required other than boiling water in a pot.
(6) Since the candle material 10 is sealed in the pouch container 20, it does not come into contact with moisture or oxygen, and moisture absorption or oxidation during storage can be prevented.
(7) The fragrance for fragrance and the pigments and dyes necessary for coloring can be prepared in advance together with wax and stored in the pouch container 20, and the work efficiency is improved.
(8) Even if the candle material 10 is left over, it can be re-stored by closing the pouch container 20.
(9) Even after it has been melted and hardened, it can be safely reused by re-boiling it in hot water. That is, as in the comparative example, if the melted wax is hardened while being left in the pan, the wax that has been warmed and expanded inside when reheated may blow out like a geyser. If the pouch container 20 is reheated while being sealed, such blowout does not occur and the pouch container 20 can be safely reused.
(10) Since the wax does not directly adhere to the outer container 200, the trouble of cleaning can be saved.
(11) It is possible to reduce the initial investment of an electromagnetic cooker and a special pot required for candle production.

The candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment has various merits as described above over the comparative example. These merits make it possible to easily manufacture candles, which until now required a certain amount of specialized knowledge and complicated work. In particular, when melting the candle material 10, it is important to control the temperature so as not to catch fire, but the candle material container 1 according to the present embodiment has a very low risk of catching fire and is highly safe. It becomes possible to make candles. Moreover, since temperature control by the thermometer 400 is not required, even beginners and children of candle making can enjoy candle making easily and safely.

(Other examples)
As another example according to the present embodiment, the container for accommodating the candle material 10 can be applied to other than the pouch container 20. That is, the container may be a container provided with a material that can be boiled in hot water and can contain the candle material 10 in a sealed manner. For example, a container made of silicone, a container having a bag made of silicone and having a removable fastener at the opening of the bag, a container having a resin bottle and a cap, and a container having an aluminum bottle and a cap. Is applicable. When the opening of the container is wide, it becomes easy to open the container with the candle material 10 melted and dip the core material into the candle material 10 from the opening and attach it.
