The mechanical connection of acrylic parts by screwing, gluing, Pens or the like is also possible. The connection can also be done by shaping itself, z. B. groove and Feather.

formations In the material of the torch can also be used to hold torch holders or carriers are used. Such torchbearers are there to be placed on the ground, plugged into the ground, attach to a wall, in existing holders and to carry in the hand by its shape executable.

One Another advantage for a wearer is the low weight and good burning behavior.

Next The crystal clear design of acrylic / acrylic glass are also colored versions by color additives during production or by subsequent order possible.

The Torch is nowadays mainly used in the leisure sector. The use for advertising purposes in civil and civil protection, as Warning fire and beacons in the traffic o. Ä. Is also possible.

EXAMPLES

A simple torch geometry consists of a cuboid Block with the dimensions 20 mm × 20 mm × 750 mm. The burning time in this geometry is about three up to four hours. The torch flame is about 50 mm to 100 mm high, and thus a highly visible, yellow illumination that is not smokes or smokes.

A further torch geometry in candle size and candle shape can effectively use conventional wax candles in their function as replace stylish lighting device. By the effect, the torches develop, here can the impression of a medieval lighting arise.

acrylic chips are in trays or as shavings in mounts or Pliers can be used.

One simple torch carrier is as a rod, in particular of metal, Plastic or wood, executed in a bore of the exemplary torch in the 20 mm × 20 mm area until a resistance is introduced.

Of the Resistance holding the torch in the holder, fixed or on can prevent slipping as an annular sheath be carried out of the rod or thickening. It can the sheath as hand protection for a wearer be shaped. Another torchbearer can be used as a pipe, in particular with widening, compression or transverse drilling with Pins are run as a resistor.
