Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for a wax molded article such as a candle, particularly a structure of a wax molded article having various shapes, a method for producing such a wax molded article, and a method for producing the same. It relates to a molded article manufacturing instrument.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Candles have been used for ritual purposes, or in the old days for pure lighting, but recently, a great variety of colors and shapes have been marketed as a kind of interior products. Candles as interior products with such fashionability, due to their many types,
The reality is that we are not familiar with the method of mass-producing a specific type, and in the end, each type is manually produced.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a method of manufacturing a specially shaped candle using a mold. In the figure, reference numeral 50 is a mold for pouring wax, and in the case of the drawing, it is configured in this way so that the planar shape is a rabbit shape. The mold 50 is placed, for example, on a paraffin paper 51, and in this state, a molded product is formed by pouring it into a mold from a container 53 having a molten wax 52 and solidifying. In this case, since it is a pouring method, if waxes of different colors such as blue wax, then white, and finally red are sequentially poured, a plurality of different colors can be removed after removing the mold 50. It is possible to construct a candle consisting of layers. By the way, the candle core has a top with one hand so that it is located at a predetermined position of the mold 50,
In the meantime, the molten wax is sequentially injected to stand and fix the candle at a predetermined position.

[0004]

The candle having the predetermined shape is constructed as described above, but this method has the following problems.

First, since the method of pouring wax into individual molds takes time and labor to manufacture, it is extremely inefficient. In addition, when forming multiple layers as described above, it is necessary to pour each wax in sequence for each mold, and the wax forming the upper layer cannot be poured until the wax in the lower layer is fixed. Is even worse, and it is difficult to keep the thickness of the wax of each layer constant each time, and the thickness of the layer in each product tends to vary, resulting in lack of product identity.

Further, due to the surface tension of the molten wax, the peripheral edge portion near the mold rises on the upper end surface of the candle, and the surface of the candle is not formed flat. The peripheral edge of the formed candle has the advantage that the molten wax does not flow down from the surroundings when the core is ignited, but the shape of the shaped candle when the surrounding rises. Will be distorted and the value as a product will decrease. By the way, even if the surface of the candle is flat,
When the core is ignited, this heat melts the wax around the core and the melted wax flows into the core due to the capillary phenomenon and is burned and consumed, and moreover, the area of the upper end surface of the candle is extremely large compared to a normal candle, Even with such a flat-surfaced candle, molten wax rarely flows down around the candle. Therefore, it is desirable that the upper end surface of the candle is flat in order to increase its value as a product.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a frame body made of a metal plate or other similar material, and the area of the portion surrounded by the frame body 1 is at least several times larger than that of a molded candle, which will be described later. The area is preferably 10 times or several tens of times. Further, in the configuration shown in the figure, the planar shape of the frame is substantially rectangular, but the shape is free and may be circular or the like.

The frame 1 is a sheet material 2 such as paraffin paper.
The wax which is placed above and melted in this state is poured into the frame body 1. That is, in the configuration shown in the drawing, first, the wax P1 colored in blue is poured, and when solidified, then, for example, the red wax P2, and finally the white wax P3 are poured. A wax plate (hereinafter referred to as "wax dough") P is formed. The present invention is characterized in that a candle having a predetermined shape is die-cut from this wax material with a die.

FIG. 2 shows a die and a candle formed by this die.

First, the arrow 3 shows this punching die. In order to cut out a candle having a predetermined shape from the wax material, the cutting die needs to be heated to a predetermined temperature. FIG. 2 shows the cutting die configured to be electrically heated. Reference numeral 4 denotes a punching die body, which has a predetermined shape by bending a metal plate (in the case of the drawing, the planar shape is a rabbit shape).
Is formed. As the metal material forming the main body 4, a metal material suitable for the purpose is used depending on the heating method of the main body.

First, when the cutting die body 4 itself is configured to generate heat, the wiring 5 is connected as a means for energizing the body 4, and the body is made of a metal material having a relatively high electric resistance, such as an iron-based material. It is made of metal or the like. As a result, the main body 4 is heated by directly energizing the main body 4. It should be noted that the melting point of the wax is about 70 ° C., and the main body 4 may be heated to such an extent that the temperature of this melting point can be maintained,
When the temperature is higher than this, the molten portion of the wax around the die body 4 increases and the shape of the die-cut candle is impaired, which is not appropriate. For this reason, the electric power for heating the die main body 4 is small, and even when the electric power line is used, the voltage is reduced to the extent that there is no fear of electric shock, which is safe. Reference numeral 6 denotes a support shaft provided on the punching die main body 4, and 7 denotes a handle provided on the support shaft 6.

Next, as another method, the support shaft 6 itself is used as a heating element, or another heating element (not shown) is arranged in the vicinity of the punching die body 4, and the punching die body 4 is It is also possible to be configured to be heated by receiving the heat of these heating elements. In this case, the cutting die body 4 is formed of a metal material having high thermal conductivity such as copper.

When the candle is die-cut, first, the die body 4 is preheated to a temperature slightly higher than the melting temperature of the wax, and in this state, the wax material P shown in FIG. 4 is pressed and pushed until the lower edge of the punching die body 4 penetrates the lower surface of the brazing layer P1 to pull out the brazing layer corresponding to the shape of the punching die body 4 from the brazing material. As a result, a rabbit-shaped candle body 8 corresponding to the shape of the cutting die body 4 is formed as shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows the steps for finally forming the candle body into a candle.

The arrow 9 is a tool for making a hole, and is composed of a hole making shaft 9a for making a hole by directly contacting the candle body 8 and a handle 9b. First, the punching shaft 9a is preheated to the melting temperature of the wax. As a heating method, in addition to electrical heating such as that of the die body 4, a method of indirectly heating with combustion heat of gas or the like can be considered. The heated drilling shaft 9a is arranged substantially perpendicular to the substantially central portion of the candle body 8 to form a predetermined hole 8a,
Immediately after pulling out the punching shaft 9a, the core 10 is inserted into this hole. Immediately after the punching shaft 9a is pulled out, the inner peripheral wall portion of the hole 8a is still in a molten state, so that the core 10 is fixed to the candle body 8 by the solidification of the wax after the core 10 is inserted. Finally, a rabbit-shaped candle is completed by forming a rabbit eye 11 by hanging a drop of red wax, for example.

Next, another example of forming the brazing material P will be described.
In the above description, the wax layers P1 to P3 are formed as layers having only different colors, but by adding different fragrances to the wax forming each layer in advance, the candles are lit and the layers are separated. When the wax is melted, different scents can be sequentially generated. In this case, the brazing color of each layer may be different from each other as described above, and the brazing color of each layer may be the same. In this case, it does not seem that a plurality of layers are formed, and further, the ignition causes the different scents to be sequentially emitted over time.

In the above description, the structure in which electricity is used as the heating means of the die main body 4 has been shown, but the wiring 5 shown in FIG. 2 is removed and the die main body 4 itself is heated directly by a flame of gas or the like to heat it. Of course, it is also possible to configure such that the heating is performed by another heat source. In this case, it is desirable that the heated metal retain the amount of heat that has been heated for as long as possible. Therefore, for example, an aluminum-based metal having a higher specific heat than an iron-based metal is desirable.

Although the structure of the present invention has been described above by taking the case of forming a candle as an example, it can be applied to the production of a wax-molded product not used as a candle, or a molded product of other low melting point plastics. A person skilled in the art can easily think of it.

[0022]

As described above, the present invention is constructed so that the candle body is die-cut with a die for a preformed one or more large-sized wax material. It becomes possible to easily produce a large number of candles in a short time.

Further, since the product can be formed without being affected by the surface tension of the molten wax, the appearance of the product is good.
