Definitions

  • 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 tr ditional 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.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a candle product formed from a paraffin wax and gelatinous material combustible composition
  • Figure 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 Figure 1 as an end product of production from a candle mold 12 as shown in Figure 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, Texas.
  • 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.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une composition conçue pour la formation de bougie, une bougie fabriquée à partir de cette composition et un procédé de fabrication d'une telle bougie. La composition renferme un mélange d'une quantité moindre d'une cire combustible et d'une plus grande quantité de matériau gélatineux combustible, selon un rapport en poids d'environ 5-15 % de paraffine sur environ 95-75 % de gel d'huile minérale. Eventuellement, on peut y inclure un pigment et/ou un parfum. Le procédé de fabrication d'une bougie incorporant ladite composition consiste en premier lieu à former la composition combustible selon les étapes suivantes: (a) fondre une cire combustible; (b) fondre un matériau gélatineux combustible; et (c) mélanger une quantité moindre de cire fondue et une plus grande quantité de gel fondu de façon à obtenir une composition fluide, que l'on verse dans un moule en forme de bougie pourvu, à l'intérieur, d'une mèche qui sort dudit moule. Enfin, on refroidit la composition ainsi versée dans le moule afin de la solidifier et de produire la bougie. Les bougies ainsi produites possèdent des propriétés intéressantes de la cire et du gel et offrent les caractéristiques de longévité du gel combinées à celles de stabilité et d'opacité de la cire.
