Description

July 8, 1958 w. WEGLIN METHOD OF ORNAMENTING CANDLES Filed Aug. 16, 1956 INVENTOR. A/AL r59 h/'GL/N ikma rwp A rraP/vys United States Patent METHOD OF ORNAMENTING CANDLES Walter Weglin, Centereach, N. Y.
Application August 16, 1956, Serial No. 604,397
6 Claims. (Cl. 67-22.5)
The present invention relates to a method of ornamenting candles and more particularly to a method of ornamenting candles to produce a candle having a polychromatic decoration.
Heretofore, various methods have been used for ornamenting candles. One such method has been to manually apply various decorative devices to the candle body. This method is expensive and the number of candles which can be decorated is limited. Another method has been to decorate candles by dipping the candles in masses of melted colored wax. This method has proved inadequate since the blending of colors cannot be easily controlled and since the use of masses of melted colored Wax is expensive.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of ornamenting candles to produce a candle having a polychromatic decoration.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of ornamenting candles which will automatically produce a polychromatic candle.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method of ornamenting candles in which blending of the colors of the candle can be easily controlled.
' Other and further objects of the invention will be obvi- 0115 upon an understanding of the illustrative embodiment about to be described, or will be indicated in the appended claims, and various advantages not referredto herein will occur to one skilled in the art upon employment of the invention in practice.
A preferred embodiment of the invention has been chosen for purposes of illustration and description and is shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the specification wherein:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a finished candle decorated in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 showing the arrangement of the colors on the finished candle;
Fig. 3 is a sectional side view of a candle being inserted in a liquid for decorating the candle in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 4 is a section side view similar to Fig. 2 showing the candle being removed from the liquid;
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing the colors being applied to the candle; and
Fig. 6 is a side elevational view showing a modification of the present invention.
Referring more particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, the finished candle 1 decorated in accordance with the present invention is composed of a series of colored bands 2 and colored streakings or blends 3 which are formed from the bands 2 by the method of the present invention.
. Each of the colored bands 2 may be of a different color to form streaks of different colors. However, if desired, the colored bands 2 may all be of the same color or bands of the same color may be duplicated on the candle in a predetermined pattern. The colored bands 2 are shown as separate bands around the candle and extending throughout the length of the candle 1. It will be understood, of course, that the colored bands 2 may be appliedon the candle in any desired manner, as will be more fully discussed hereinafter, and that the colored bands may be located in only a portion of the candle 1, if desired.
Referring more particularly to Figs. 3 and 4, the candle 1 is decorated by applying bands of colored material 2 around the candle 1 in any desired or conventional manner. After the colored bands 2 have been applied to the candle 1, the candle is dipped in a liquid bath 4 (Fig. 3) which melts the colored bands 2 to form the streakings 3 when the candle is removed from the liquid 4 (Fig. 4). The liquid used is preferably water. However, it will be understood that other liquids may be used for forming the streakings and it will be further understood that whenever reference herein is made to water, it includes any liquid which will form the streakings 3. Preferably, the water is heated to atemperature of about 170" F. to permit the colored bands 2 to melt and form the streaks 3..
The candle 1 can be made by any desired or conventional method and can be made from any desirable composition. However, best results are obtained from using the following composition in which the percentages are given in terms of weight:
Percent Fatty acid, such as Hystrene 45.
Paraffin wax 47 A synthetic carnauba wax, sold by Mitchell Rand Corp. under N0. 5115 6 Carnauba wax 2 For best results, the paraiiin Wax used should have a melting point of between F. and 127 F.
The colored bands 2 may be comprised of any desired composition. Preferably, however, the colored bands 2 are made of wax having a composition similar to the composition of the candle 1 given above, except that coloring matter is added to give the wax its color. It will be understood, of course, that the bands need not be made of wax but can be made from any composition, such as a bronzing powder which gives the bands 2 a metallic lustre. If a wax is used in the colored bands 2 which has a melting point at least equal to the temperature of the water, instead of streaking being formed, the candle will form dots to givethe candle a spotted effect. If beeswax is used for the colored bands 2, a peeling color effect will be formed.
The bands 2 may be applied to the candle 1 in any desired manner. One method of applying bands 2 to the candle [is shown in Fig. 5. The candle 1 is placed between a pair of rotating chucks 5 having a plurality of nozzles 6 ejecting coloring matter on the candle 1 to form the colored bands 2. The bands 2 may also be applied to the candle manually or in any other desired or con ventional manner.
After the colored bands 2 are applied to the candle 1, the candle is dipped in the water 4 to melt the colored bands 2 and form the streakings 3 as described above. It will be understood that the colored bands: 2 may be melted to form streakings 3 by other means. For example, the candle can be placed in the path of hot steam or air to permit the colored bands 2 to melt. The candle 1 may also be placed in a furnace to melt the colored bands 2.
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the decorating colors 2 have been applied in the form of bands or rings around the candle body. It will be understood, of course, that the coloring material can be applied to the candle in any desired form or pattern. Fig. 6 shows a candle having a modified form of decoration thereon.
The candle .ltl has the coloring material applied thereto in the form of spirals 11 around the candle body. Each spiral 11 can either be of the same color or of different colors. For example, spiral 11a can be red to form a red streaking 12a and spiral 11b can be blue to form a blue streaking 121). When the candle is dipped in warm water, the colored spirals 1?. will form streakings or blends 12 to decorate the candle. While the drawings illustrate a candle decorated with ring-like colored bands (Fig. l) and with spiralling bands (Fig. 6), it Will be understood that the coloring materials can be applied to the candle in any desired pattern. For example, pieces of wax can be applied to the candle in an irregular pattern which, when dipped in warm water, will produce a decorated candle having its streakings blended with each other.
It will be seen from the above that the present invention provides an improved method of ornamenting candles which will automatically produce polychromatic candles and in which the colors for decorating the candle can be easily controlled.
As various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and without sacrificing any of its advantages, it is to be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. The method of ornamenting candles which comprises applying a decorating material to a candle, said material being of a color different from the color of said candle, and dipping said candle into a vessel containing a warm fluid for a length of time sufiicient to melt said decorating material to form ornamenting streakings on 4 said candle, and thereafter removing the candle from said vessel.
2. The method of ornamenting candles which comprises applying a decorating material to a candle, said material being of a color different than the color of said candle, and dipping said candle in warm water for a length of time sufficient to melt said decorating material and form ornamenting streakings on said candle.
3. The method of ornamenting candles which comprises applying bands of colored wax material around a candle, said material being of a color different than the color of said candle, and dipping said candle in a liquid for a length of time sufficient to melt said colored bands and to form ornamenting streakings On said candle.
4. The method of ornamenting candles which comprises applying bands of colored wax material on a candle, said material being of a color diiferent than the color of said candle, and dipping said candle in warm water for a length of time suflicient to melt said colored bands and to form ornamenting streakings on said candle.
5. The method of ornamenting candles as claimed in claim 4, wherein the temperature of the water is about F.
6. The method of ornamenting candles as claimed in claim 4, wherein said colored wax is applied spirally around the candle body.
