wax PACKAGE on. CANDLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 18, 1913.
Application tiled November 17, 1911. Serial No. 660,929.
lresident of Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful improvement in Wax Packages or Candles, ofv which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to packages of wax or other substance, and more particularly to one which may be used as a candle.
The object of this invention is to. provide a candleof wax o-r other like substance, so put up that the form and shape thereof will be affected by being-stored in comparatively warm places or in comparatively warm weather', and which is self-extinguishing in use.
The invention comprises the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing Figure l is a longitudinal section through the container in the form in which it is transported and stored Fig. 2 is an end view of the same with one. cap removed; and Fig. 3 illustrates the manner' in which the container can be removed in sections. l
The, container is formed as a tube or casing 1 of any cheap substance or material, but nevertheless having sufficient rigidity so that it will prevent distortion of the contents in warm weather or from other cause. Preferably the container is formed of paper or paste board. The contents are indicated atfZ and, preferably, these are molded into the container by pouring or filling the same -'thereinto when in a molten or liquid or semi-liquid form and then allowing the same to set or harden. The ends of the container are closed, preferably by means of caps 3 and 4. AAs shown the cap 3, at the upper end of the package, is removable or detachable being formed preferably of paper or paste board in cup shape and having its side wall or flange 5 snugly fitting the tube 1. The cap or head 4 is shown as a paper disk firmly secured to the end of the tube 1 as by crimping the tube and disk together or by gluing the disk in place. The caps 3 and 4 may, if desired, be formed of other inexpensive material and either one thereof may be removable from o'r securely fixed to the tube, as preferred. The substance when contained in this container is protected against dirt, and the container also is of such rigidity that the package can be stored indefinitely 4without danger of distortion of the contents. As a consequence, this device 1s well adapted for containing or forming paratlin or other wax or tallow candles and the like, which, as is well known, sag or warp out of shape and become crooked and otherwise deformed, when stored or preserved for any length of time in ordinary summer temperature.
ln the form of candle shown in the drawings, a wick 6 is placed in the container' before the contents are poured into the same,..
one end ofv the wick being cpreferably secured to the cap 4, as at 7, an the other end thereof projecting above the top of the body of wax in the container. In using the candle one of the heads or caps is removed and the wick lighted whereupon the device will burn until it burns down so low into the tubular container that it is extinguished by the carbon dioxid which is formed and collects in the container. Consequently the device is well adapted for use as a candle in positions where'it is desired that the candle will extinguish itself at the end of a given time. 'lhe paper or pasteboard shell or covering is from its nature infusible, and is treated, as
are also the caps, with a substance which f Varlous prep'-n renders it non-inflammable. arations for renderino paper or fiber noninflamnlable are well lknown, one such conssting in coating the surface with Bakelite and this will serve as a coating or impregnating substance for the paper tube. Also, the paper tube may be made in such a manner that it can be removed in sections to permit the candle to be relighted after it has burned down for a certain distance. To'
this end the tube preferably is formed in sections 8, these being loosely connected t0- gether, such as by perforat-ing, creasing, or otherwise weakening the paper at intervals on annular lines, as indicated at 9. Consequently when the candle has burned down' fairly deep into the tube the upper portion of the tube can be torn off or otherwise removed as shown in Fig. 3, and as the candle burns away the tube is removed in successive sections until the entire candle is consumed. The cap 3, however, its any section of the cylindrical tube and may be used as a cover until the entire package is con# sumed, and in the caseof the candle as an extinguisher therefor.
In its most specific form the invention comprises a candle made of wax, tallow or similar substance and having a wick molded into a rigid non-inflammable container so formed that it can be removed in sections and which container can be closed or covered, thus forming an original package with the candle contained therein and which serves as a means topreserve the candle from disx tortion or deterioration or trom sticking to others and keeps the same clean, and which `in use serves as a holder for the candle and also as an extinguisher for the candle when the same has burned down into it.
The container may be used to hold wax, tallow, paralin or other like substances in the form of a candle as stated. It is of course also adapted to contain the same substances, Without a wick, in cases Where it flammable material and inclosing a body of 1 wax or other combustible substance, and a wick therein, said body being adapted to be consumed in burning of the candlel and to have its upper surface. lower in said shell, and said shell forming a chambery above the candle body to receive and retain the prodc ucts of combustion, thereb causing the candle to extinguish itself a ter burning for a limited time, and said shell having a number of weakened portions to permit removal of sections of the shell to expose additional portions of the combustible material.
2. A candle comprising any outer shell or covering formed of infusible and noninaumiable material and inclosing abody of wax or other combustible substance, and a wick therein, said body being adapted to be consumed in burning of the candle and to have its upper surface lower in said shell, and said shell forming a chamber above the candle body to receive and retain the products of combustion` thereby causing the candle to extinguish itself after burning for a limited time, and said shell having a number of weakened portions to permit removal of sections of the shell to expose additional port-ions of the combustible material. and a cap formed to lit the shell at any of the weakened portions and adapted to be used as an extinguisher.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
