SI23274A - Modular housing for candles - Google Patents

Abstract

A modular housing for candles is solving the problem presented so that the housing comprises the upper and the lower part. The lower part contains a burning module, which depends on individual fuel and the way of burning, and the upper part comprises a number of openings for the passage of air, which is required for burning and defogging. The burning module according to the invention uses various kinds of fuel. These can be paraffin, liquid paraffin, a plant product (palm oil, palm wax, soy wax, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil etc., commonly natural wax), beeswax (natural wax) or another suitable hydrocarbon or a battery/electronic/electric lighting system. Paraffin, preferentially, can be found in a special inlet that is inserted into the lower part of the housing, or it can fill the whole lower housing, regardless of paraffin (or another suitable hydrocarbon) being in a solid or a liquid state (e.g. liquid paraffin). On the top, the upper part is wearing a cover resistant to elevated temperatures, which can be made of metal, synthetic material or plastics. There are two kinds of openings under the cover. Openings close to the cover are mostly intended for the exit of smoke gases and openings under these openings are intended mostly for the entry of cooling air. Beside these openings, circumferential openings intended preferentially for the entry of fresh air for the purpose of combustion may also exist in a special embodiment.

MODULAR CANDLE COVER

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Candles

A technical problem

The problem solved by the present invention is the re-use of the candle housing while using different fuels.

A further problem is the uneven burning of the candle, the dew on the inside of the case and the overheating of the lid on the top of the candle.

The state of the art

There are a number of solutions to be found in candlestick.

In patent no. SI 9400303 shows a long-burning candle housing that solves the problem of how to keep the candle burning for as long as possible in all weather conditions. temperature conditions to prevent premature self-extinguishing of the flame. The candle housing according to the invention is made of a housing containing a combustible substance in the middle of which is mounted a wick vertically and is closed at the top by a lid with openings for air circulation. The housing is * ·

positioned in a larger housing such that there is a gap between the walls and the bottom of the housing for an insulating means, preferably air or airless space.

Long burning candles are made on this basis, but they have the problem of being paraffinic. The patent shown does not allow the use of different types of fuel (paraffin, liquid paraffin) or lighting systems (battery / electronic cartridges, etc.).

Description of the new solution

The modular candle housing solves the problem shown by enclosing the upper and lower housing. The lower part comprises the combustion module, depending on the individual fuel and the mode of combustion, the upper portion comprising a plurality of airflow openings necessary for combustion and to prevent dewage.

The combustion module of the invention comprises various types of fuel. This may be paraffin, liquid paraffin, a plant product (palm oil, palm wax, soy wax, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil ..., total natural wax), beeswax (natural wax) or other suitable hydrocarbon or battery / electronic / electrical light system. Preferably, the paraffin may be in a special cartridge that is inserted into the lower housing, but it can fill the entire lower housing, regardless of whether the paraffin (or other suitable hydrocarbon) is in a solid or liquid (eg, liquid paraffin) state.

The upper part has a high temperature resistant top, which can be metal or plastic, including plastic. There are two types of openings under the hood. The openings just below the hood are mainly intended for flue gas outlets, and the openings below these openings are predominantly for cooling air inlet. In addition to these openings, in a specific embodiment, there may be openings on the perimeter intended for the preferential entry of fresh air intended for combustion.

Uneven burning is resolved by a paraffin or vegetable wax insert, where the core is made with paraffin or higher melting point wax (solid core), and the core surrounds with paraffin or lower melting wax (softer exterior), of course, there can be more layers. Such a candle is suitable for low temperatures (uniform melting of solid combustion throughout the diameter) as well as for summer days, as the wick will remain upright in the middle because it is held by the solid core and only by the candle body. Although the outer rim can be perfectly fluid on hot summer days, the middle, harder part is rigid and also holds the burning cord upright. Preferably, the plastic (also natural, organic or glass) housing is designed to centrally stabilize the stiff, middle part of the combustion substance. This prevents the middle section from tilting to the edge and thus the burning cord. The result is a drowning of fire or fire. burns or even complete burnout of the entire casing.

If the combustion conditions are even more unfavorable (temperatures above 40 degrees C or below 10 degrees C), the user may choose a liquid combustible substance. electronic part in combinations with existing housing.

In addition, all the combustion bodies in the said housing burn well at both low (winter) and high (summer) temperatures. Of course also in the wind and rain. They burn well in indoor rooms as well. In short, the candle is versatile.

These candle combinations burn for days, weeks and months (electronic) and not just for a few hours like most candles in a room. Also something special is the eternal light (where a liquid is poured into the lower part of the housing. In the middle above the liquid level is a non-combustible fuel line). The peculiarity here is that said candle (lamp) can burn continuously for several weeks. When the flame is still burning, it can be poured into the liquid to prolong the burning time. When the liquid is poured into the tank, the candle can burn continuously.

In the following, the essence of the invention is described by the description of the drawings, the drawings forming part of the invention as follows:

Figure 1 shows a housing 1 comprising the upper part of the housing 11, the lower part of the housing 12, the cover 13, the openings predominantly for flue gas outlet 131, the openings predominantly for the intake of cooling air 132, the openings predominantly for fresh air inlet 133, the fuel inlet 2, fuel 21, preferably solid paraffin.

Figure 2 shows the rails of air and flue gas, namely the rails of flue gas and hot air 31, the rails of cooling air 32, the rails of fresh air 33.

Figure 3 shows the different fuels, namely paraffin or natural wax 21, battery pack 4, liquid paraffin 5.

Figure 4 shows one of the shapes of the lower housing part, namely the lower fuel cartridge housing 12.

Figure 5 shows one of the shapes of the lower housing, namely the lower fuel filler housing without cartridge 14.

Figure 6 shows a top view of a paraffin fuel cartridge 2 in which a layer of paraffin with a lower melting point 211 and a layer of paraffin with a higher melting point 212, wick 23 are visible.

According to an embodiment, the object of the invention is made of a housing 1 comprising the upper part of the housing 11 and the lower part of the housing 12, 14. The upper part of the housing 11 is closed by a cover 13. Due to the lifting of flue gases, the cover 13 would become very hot and consequently melt the housing preferably made of plastic, it is therefore necessary to install openings predominantly for cooling air inlet 132. Flue gases exit through openings predominantly for flue gas outlets 131. The air required for combustion may, in the first embodiment, enter through openings predominantly for cooling air inlet. 132 and, in the second embodiment, through openings predominantly for fresh air inlet 133, preferably around the circumference in the lower portion of the upper 11 of the housing.

A view of the flue and hot air rails 31 rising from the combustion site and exiting through the openings predominantly for the flue gas outlet 131. A view of the air rails predominantly for cooling 32 entering through the openings predominantly for the cooling air inlet 132 is mixed with flue gases and hot air, thus cooling the openings predominantly for the flue gas outlet 131 so as not to soften and deform the housing material 1 or. the bottom of the lid, which can be made of metal or plastic. Also shown is a view of fresh air rails 33 entering through openings predominantly for fresh air entry 133. Of course, the air in the upper part of the housing 11 will mix and swirl, so that the rails are only an approximate view of the air flow, which explains the surprising technical effect of the invention , namely, the prevention of dew in cases where, due to the temperature difference in the housing and outside the candle housing, and further, dew will result from the humidity of the air. Wall air has lower humidity and higher temperature due to mixing and swirling and prevents or restricts dew.

The lower 12 of the housing may be designed as the lower housing for the fuel cartridge 2. The fuel cartridge 2 may comprise either a solid fuel, preferably paraffin or natural wax 21, preferably comprising a paraffin or natural wax core 212 surrounded by paraffin or natural lower melting point 211, either liquid fuel, preferably liquid paraffin 5, or a battery / electric cartridge 4 with a lamp simulating the operation of a candle.

The lower 12 of the housing may be designed as the lower 12 of the fuel filler housing without insert 14. In this case, the lower housing is filled with either solid fuel or liquid fuel and a combustion wick is inserted into the fuel.

The surprising technical advantage of the invention according to the patent lies in the uniformity of combustion at lower temperatures when the lower housing for the fuel insert 12 is used. The air between the fuel insert 12 and the wall acts as an insulator.

In a specific embodiment, the cartridge with a solid fuel, preferably paraffin or vegetable wax 2 is made in a multilayered manner. In one particular embodiment, the wick 23 is surrounded by paraffin or vegetable wax with a higher melting point 212, and the wax 23 is surrounded by paraffin or wax. of low-melting plant wax 211. Of course, there may be more such layers. During combustion, the combustible material melts more evenly throughout the cross section of the solid fuel cartridge 2 because the temperature of the solid combustor is closer to the wick than the paraffin temperature farther from the wick. In conventional candles, paraffin is first melted against the wick, forming a cavity, which results in uneven consumption of paraffin and can lead to rapid extinguishing of the candle and incomplete consumption of the burning substance. The proposed special embodiment allows the paraffin (or natural wax) to be worn at the wick 23 having a higher melting point 212 and the paraffin (or natural wax) longer than the wick having a lower melting point 211 at the same time, so that there is an even consumption of paraffin, is an additional surprising technical advantage of the invention.
