Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to candle compositions, and in particular to a candle composition produced from a mixture of a combustible wax material and a combustible gelatinous material whereby desirable characteristics of both materials are imparted to candle products fabricated from such mixture.
  • Candles have become very popular for decorative purposes, and typically are one of three different types: tapered, molded, and container housed, and are generally fabricated of a candle wax material which may include paraffin wax, vegetable wax, or beeswax. Fragrances and/or pigments can be added to the wax material to enhance individual candle characteristics. The fragrance and/or pigment, when present, is mixed with the wax when in a molten state, and the treated wax is then formed into the preferred type of candle with an integral aroma and/or color. Wax candles are stably free-standing, opaque, and do not lose their molded shape in room-temperature conditions.
  • gelatinous material such as mineral oil has been used to create transparent or translucent gel candles that provide pleasing and unique aesthetic qualities.
  • the mineral oil is gelatinous and a solid at ambient temperature, and generally will burn longer than candles made from a wax material because of the high oil content of the gel.
  • gel candles may additionally be scented and/or colored to add variety.
  • gelatinous material can be manufactured in sheet form which then can be cut in cookie-cutter fashion to create variously shaped gel components for decorative inclusion with traditional molded candles.
  • candles constructed of a gelatinous material are not opaque and are shape-unstable at room temperature, thus requiring confinement in a dedicated container.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a candle composition whose properties synergistically contribute toward each other to produce a product exhibiting both wax and gel characteristics.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a candle product fabricated of a composition embodying favorable behaviors of both wax candles and gel candles.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a candle product employing a combustible composition whose properties provide both wax and gel qualities.
  • the present invention is a composition for forming a candle, a candle product fabricated of the composition, and a method for making the candle product.
  • the composition generally comprises a mixture of a lesser amount of combustible wax material and a greater amount of combustible gelatinous material.
  • the wax material is paraffin wax while the gelatinous material is mineral oil gel, with these combustible components present at a ratio by weight of paraffin wax to gel from about 5-15 percent paraffin wax to about 95-75 percent gel.
  • a pigment and/or fragrance can be included and generally uniformly distributed in the mixture such that unique aesthetic aromatic and color qualities can be experienced during candle use.
  • a method of making a candle product incorporating the composition first includes forming the combustible composition by the steps of (a) heat-melting a combustible wax material; (b) heat-melting a combustible gelatinous material; and (c) mixing a lesser amount of the melted wax material with a greater amount of the melted gelatinous material for producing a flowable composition and thereafter maintaining the composition in a flowable state.
  • This flowable composition then is poured into a mold shaped as the candle product to be formed while a wick is provided within, and extending outwardly from, the mold. Finally, the poured composition is cooled within the mold to thereby solidify and yield the candle product.
  • make-up of the composition preferably includes a wax material that is paraffin wax while the gelatinous material is mineral oil gel, with these combustible components present at a ratio by weight of paraffin wax to gel from about 5-15 percent paraffin wax to about 95-75 percent gel.
  • an optional pigment and/or fragrance can be included in the composition.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a candle product formed from a paraffin wax and gelatinous material combustible composition
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a candle mold showing a molten composition of such paraffin wax and gelatinous material being poured into the mold and with a wick positioned within the mold and extending therefrom upwardly.
  • a candle product 10 is shown in FIG. 1 as an end product of production from a candle mold 12 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a combustible composition 14 for forming a candle product is first produced by heat melting a quantity of generally opaque paraffin wax and a quantity of generally transparent mineral oil gel and thereafter mixing the molten wax and molten gel with each other at a ratio of from about 5-15 wt. % paraffin wax to about 95-75 wt. % gel to form a pourable composition 14 .
  • One source of such mineral gel is that available as “Candle Gel” or “Versa Gel,” both manufactured by Penrico Company, Woodland, Tex.
  • Optional pigment and fragrance components as known in the art are added to this molten pourable composition 14 which then is poured into the candle mold 12 .
  • the candle mold 12 is provided with a wick 16 within and extending outwardly from the mold 12 .
  • the wick 16 here shown in disposed within a standard votive-type core paraffin-wax candle 18 around which the molten composition 14 is poured.
  • wick inclusion can be accomplished in other ways as would be recognized in the art.
  • the candle mold 12 is filled to its desired level, the molten composition 14 therein is permitted to cool and thereby solidify to form a candle product 10 .
  • the candle product 10 can be retained within the candle mold or removed therefrom for free standing display.
  • the candle product 10 thus formed exhibits a longer burn time plus a more lustrous exposed surface as compared to wax-only candle products, while unsupportedly retaining its shape as an opaque candle product as opposed to gelatinous candle products.
