Definitions

  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved decorating method for treating the surfaces of candles, whereby individual artistic decorations are obtained.
  • the candle is turned manually as well as moved in its longitudinal direction in relation to the source of heat so that the surface layer, into which the dyestuff is mixed, floats to form desired patterns in accordance with the relative movement of the candle and said source. The pattern thus provided is then allowed to harden and is finished by polishing.
  • the relative movement between the candle and the source of heat is preferably carried out manually, whereby the producer can provide individualized decorations on the surface of the candle. Besides the pattern of colors and shades, one can also produce artistically formed surfaces for such candles.
  • the heating of the surface of the candle by means of said source of heat is preferably carried out in localizedl fashion so that the producer continuously has a clear picture of how the pattern is formed and can easily control the same.
  • the source of heat can be a spirit flame or a similar source burning with a clear flame, whereby the surface of the candle is brought to melting temperature Without being contaminated.
  • a wick burner or the like can be used of the kind which forms carbon black.
  • the application of dyestuff can be carried out by painting the same on the candle surface by means of a brush, or the dyestuff can be sprayed on the surface or applied by submersion of the candle in the same.
  • the applying of the dyestuff can also be carried out in accordance with a special pattern, which later forms the basis for the formation of the final pattern obtained by the described heating and floating of the surface layer.
  • wax can be selected to obtain favorable floating and viscosity during the heating process.
  • the candle is preferably allowed to harden.
  • the finished pattern is formed on the surface of the candle, it is finally allowed to harden and is then polished by means known per se.
  • FIGS. 1(a) and 1( b) are respectively top and side views of a candle
  • FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are respectively top and sides views of said candle with dyestulf applied thereto;
  • FIG. 3(11) is a top view of said candle showing how heat is applied thereto;
  • FIG. 3(b) is a side View of said candle illustrating dye disposition as a result of the heating.
  • FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) illustrate the polished candle.
  • FIGS. 1(a) and l(b) respectively are top and side views of a candle to be decorated in accordance with the method of the invention. More particularly there is provided a candle 10 having a cylindrical side surface 12 with a top 14 and a bottom 16, the candle being conventionally provided with a wick 18.
  • FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) illustrate that there has been applied, to the surface of the side 12, a mixture 20 consisting of a fat soluble dyestuff mixed in a volatile solvent such as turpentine.
  • FIG. 3(11) is indicated a source of heat 22. This pme vides for localized heating of the side of the candle so that the wax surface melts and the dyestuff floats therein, the volatile solvent having been evaporated either by the heat source 22 or by simple evaporation prior to the application of heat.
  • the dyestuff floats in the surface as indicated at 24 in FIG. 3(b) and the surface is permitted to harden whereafter, as indicated in FIGS. 4(11) and 4(b), the candle is preferably polished by conventional means known per se.
  • the invention provides for applying to the surface 12 of a candle 10 a preferably fat soluble dyestuff in turpentine or a similar volatile solvent and by then submitting the surface 12 to a preferably localized heating from a source of heat 22 whereby the turpentine or volatile solvent evaporates and the surface of the candle is brought to melting temperature so that the dyestuff is mixed into the surface of the candle while this surface is liquefied.
  • the candle is preferably turned manually as well as moved manually in its longitudinal direction in relationship to the heat source 22 so that the surface layer into which the dyestuff is mixed floats to form a desired pattern in accordance with the relative movement of the candle and the source.
  • the pattern is then permitted to harden and may then preferably be finished Iby polishing.
  • the heating of the surface of the candle prior to the hardening of this surface is preferably carried out in localized fashion and manually as aforesaid so that the candle producer continuously has a clear picture of how the pattern is formed and can easily control the same.
  • the heat source 22 can be a spirit llame or a similar source burning with a clear llame whereby the surface of the candle is brought to melting temperature Without being contaminated. If desired, however, the heat source 22 can be a wick burner or the like which can be used to generate carbon black. In this case the candle is held close to the source of heat so that the carbon black is deposited on the surface of the candle so that decorative areas or lines of carbon black particles are obtained.
  • the application of the dyestuff can be carried out by painting the same on the candle surface by means of a brush or the dyestuff can be sprayed on the surface or alternatively the dyestuff can be applied by the submersion of the candle in the volatile solvents in which the dyestuff is mixed.
  • the application of the dyestuff can also be effected in accordance with a special pattern which later forms the basis for the formation of the final pattern obtained by the localized heating and floating of the surface layer.
  • wax can be employed particularly to obtain favorable floating and viscosity characteristics during the heating process.
  • the candle can preferably be allowed to harden.
  • the dyes there may be used any commercially available dye of the above noted kind and preferably aniline dyes.
  • a method for decorating a candle made of stearin, or parain wax comprising applying to the surface of the candle a dyestuff mixed in a volatile solvent for the candle, locally heating said surface of the candle from a heat source whereby the surface of the candle is liquefied and the dyestuff floats therein and the solvent is removed,
  • a method as claimed in claim 1 comprising polishing the hardened surface.
