Definitions
- ABSTRACT Apparatus for and method of making a candle having a wick fixed there within is comprised of a container having a closed end and an open end.
- the container is tapered towards the closed end thereof and has a hole formed within the closed end.
- the open end of the container has a first and second pair of protruding portions extending therefrom wherein the first pair is diametrically located from the second pair.
- a wick is passed through the hole at the closed end of the container and is attached to a solid .bar, which bar extends over the open end of the container. The wick is pulled taut so that the bar is forced against the open end of the container and rests between:
- each of the pair of protruding portions so as to limit the movement of the bar in a direction transverse to the axis of the bar.
- the tautly pulled wick is fastened to the closed end of the container by a screw. Molten wax is poured through the open end of and into the container and allowed to cool so as to solidify. The wick is disengaged from the bar and the closed end of the container and the finished candle is then removed therefrom.
- candles of uniform size are made having wicksof the same overallzlength.
- vA container in which the candleis formed has a closed and an open end wherein the container is tapered towards the closed end and the closed end has a hole formed therein, which hole is tapered towards the open end of the container.
- the container also contains a first and second pair of protruding portions which extend fromthe open end of thecontainer, wherein the first pair is diametrically located with respect to the second pair.
- a wick is passed through the hole in the closed endof the container'and is attached to a solid bar.
- the bar extends past the edge of the open end of the container and is located between each of the first and second pairs of protruding portions.
- the wick is pulled taut and thetautly pulled wick is fixed to the closed end of the container. Molten wax is then poured into the ocntainer'and allowed to cool so as to solidify around at least a part of that portion of the wick which extendsbetween the closed end and the open endof the container.
- the wick is disengaged from the closed end of the container and the .bar at the openend of the container, and the candle is then removed from the container.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a'container 10, which container has a circular cross-section.and is tapered towards its closed end 12. As shown in FIG. 2, closed end l2 is inset from a bottom edge 14 of container 10. Respective first and'second pairs 16 and 18 of protrusions extend form an edge of an open end 20 of container 10.
- First pair 16 is diametrically located from second pair l8 along the edgeof open end 20.
- a cord or wick 22 is passed through a hole 24 in closed end 12 of container 10 and extends towards i open end 20 thereof.
- a portion 26 of wick 22 is tied to a solid bar 28, which bar extends over or past the edge of open end 20.
- hole 24 can be' tapered towards the open end 20 of container 10 so as to facilitate the passing of wick 22 therethrough.
- Bar 28 (as shown in FIG. 1) is positioned between each pair of respective pairs of protruding portions 16 and 18 so as to limit the movement of bar 28 in the direction transverse to the axis of bar 28. That portion of wick 22, which extends through hole-24 in closed end 12 of container' 10, is pulled so that the part of wick 22, which is located between the open and closed end of container 10, it taut.
- molten wax such as paraffin
- container 10 molten wax, such as paraffin
- the wax is then allowed to cool and solidify, wherein at least a part of wick 22, which extends betweentheopenand closed ends of container .10, becomes embedded therein.
- wick 22 is disengaged from bar 28 and. closed end 12 of container 10; The formed candle is then removed from container 10.
- container 10 ismadeof a slick and pliable type of I material such as polyethylene.
- a lubricant such as mineral oil, vegetableoil or petrolatum.
- Other types of releasing agents can beused to coat the inner surface of container 10, such as silicone and quilon.
- the former are organo polysiloxanes and the latter is a stearatochromicchloride made by E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company, Inc., Grasselli chemical division of Wilmington, Del.
- the interior thereof can be bombarded with a high voltage or gamma rays.
- container 10 can have other described above freesone from the necessity of having I to hold the wick over the container while the molten wax is being poured therein.
- thecontainer can be translucent so that theexact amount of colored wax, which is being poured therein, canbe visually observed bylookingat the outside of the container. It should also be noted that, alternatively, the container canbe made 'of other types of material, such as metal.
- Apparatus for making a candle having a wick fixed therein comprising:
- said container being formed of plastic
- plastic being translucent so that molten wax poured therein can be visually observed from the outside of the container
- said container having a slick interior surface to facilitate removal of solidified wax therefrom
- said container being pliable to further facilitate removal of solidified wax therefrom
- B. means including an opening in the closed end of the container and a member bridging the open end of the container for holding a wick extending between said ends of the container so that at least a part of the wick extends between the open and closed ends of the container and becomes embedded in a candle in the form of solidified wax formed in the container and so that a part of the wick extends beyond the solidified wax.
- Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein an element is engaged in said opening to close the opening and to captively hold a wick between said element and the walls of said opening.
- bridging member is elongated and wherein the mouth of the container at the open end thereof includes diametrically opposed formations in which the bridging memher is received at opposite ends thereof so as to limit movement of the bridging member in a direction transverse to its longitudinal axis.
