Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour mettre en place des bougies sur un gâteau d'anniversaire. The present invention relates to a device for setting up candles on a birthday cake.
Traditionnellement, la mise en place de bougies est toujours minutieuse car cette préparation se fait sur le gâteau lui-même, à l'aide de petits supports individuels (bobèches).Traditionally, the setting up of candles is always thorough because this preparation is done on the cake itself, with the help of small individual supports (bobeches).
H y aura autant de trous que de bougies, ce qui risque d'abîmer sa décoration.There will be as many holes as candles, which may damage its decoration.
Jusqu'à ce que les bougies soient soufflées, la cire fond et coule sur le gâteau, ce qui nous oblige après enlèvement des bougies à le gratter avec soin pour ne pas abîmer le gâteau et pour éviter d'ingérer la cire des bougies. Lorsque les bougies sont soufflées, un risque de projections de postillons donc de microbes peut se produire et quand les bougies sont éteintes, une fumée toxique s'en dégage et incommode les convives et nous nous empressons donc de les enlever une par une.Until the candles are blown, the wax melts and flows on the cake, which requires us after removal of the candles to scratch it carefully not to damage the cake and to avoid ingesting wax candles. When the candles are blown, there is a risk of postillion splashes and microbes, and when the candles are extinguished, a toxic smoke emanates and inconveniences the guests and we hasten to remove them one by one.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier â tous ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet une couronne proportionnelle au diamètre du gâteau, pourvue d'orifices alésés au diamètre d'une bobèche, permettant de placer toutes les bougeas^ désirées. Cette préparation pourra se faire â côté du gâteau, sans toucher à celui-ci. La couronne comporte quatre pieds : lorsqu'elle sera posée sur le gâteau, cela limitera considérablement le nombre de trous et les dommages sur le gâteau. La couronne sera réalisée de façon à récupérer la cire qui coule des bougies sans souiller le gâteau. Elfe sera également munie d'un disque plastique transparent qui empêchera toutes projections de postillons donc de microbes.The device according to the invention overcomes all these disadvantages. It comprises in fact a ring proportional to the diameter of the cake, provided with orifices bored to the diameter of a bobèche, allowing to place all bougeas ^ desired. This preparation can be done next to the cake, without touching it. The crown has four feet: when placed on the cake, it will significantly limit the number of holes and damage on the cake. The crown will be made so as to recover the wax that flows from the candles without defiling the cake. Elfe will also be provided with a transparent plastic disk that will prevent any projections of postillions and therefore microbes.
Enfin, lorsque les bougies seront soufflées, elles seront toutes enlevées en une fois en retirant la couronne, ce qui limite le temps de toxicité que dégage la fumée des bougies.Finally, when the candles are blown, they will all be removed at once by removing the crown, which limits the time of toxicity that emanates from the smoke of the candles.
Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation : Le haut de la couronne peut être plat et d'une largeur suffisante pour récupérer la cire, avec une zone plus épaisse en dessous de la couronne pour assurer la bonne tenue des bougies et de leurs bobèches.According to the particular embodiments: The top of the crown may be flat and wide enough to recover the wax, with a thicker zone below the crown to ensure the good performance of candles and their bobeches.
Une plaque posée sur des croisillons peut être prévue au centre de la couronne pour recevoir des bougies en forme de chiffre. Quatre pieds amovibles peuvent être fixés sous la couronne pour maintenir celle-ci à une certaine hauteur du gâteau. Les pieds peuvent comporter chacun une butée pour éviter qu'ils ne s'enfoncent dans le gâteau.A plate placed on braces may be provided in the center of the crown to receive candles in the form of numbers. Four removable feet can be attached under the crown to keep it at a certain height of the cake. The feet may each have a stop to prevent them from sinking into the cake.
Ce dispositif pourra être réalisé de toutes formes et dimensions correspondantes à celles des gâteaux (rond, carré, rectangle, cœur, etc), de toutes formes correspondant à des chiffres ou des lettres. Ce dispositif pourra être réalisé de tous matériaux possible (plastique, carton, inox, voire même en matériaux précieux)This device can be made of all shapes and dimensions corresponding to those of cakes (round, square, rectangle, heart, etc.), of any shape corresponding to numbers or letters. This device can be made of any material possible (plastic, cardboard, stainless steel, or even in precious materials)
Ce dispositif pourra être réalisé de couleur unie ou de différents motifs fantaisie.This device can be made of solid color or different fantasy patterns.
Ce dispositif pourra être muni de diodes luminescentes clignotantes. Ce dispositif pourra être muni de puces musicales. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :This device may be provided with flashing LEDs. This device can be equipped with musical chips. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
