DESCRIPTION

SAFETY DEVICE FOR CANDLES

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as indicated in the title, refers to a device inserted in any type of sail and designed to provide safety, thus avoiding possible fires or material or personal damage.

The object of this invention is to provide a hitherto unknown solution for several drawbacks that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows greater safety during the use of candles in all types of activities or events in which that they are present.

The device in question provides essential characteristics of novelty and notable advantages with respect to the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

Despite technological advances in all areas, the use of candles continues to this day.

These are part of the traditional culture and are very common in special events of great importance such as Easter or Christmas.

And not only this, but also in non-religious culture. One cannot imagine a children's birthday without candles.

The candle has a symbolic meaning as a light of life and this is deeply written in the emotional memory.

However, unfortunately we have all heard or perhaps even had some negative experience related to these objects, since they turn out to be dangerous due to the possibility of falling and causing fires, which can cause significant damage both materially and personally.

Attempts have been made to solve these drawbacks by means of fastening supports that have turned out to be useless or inconvenient to use.

In addition, any means external to the candle subtracts aesthetics and symbolism from its use.

Until now, there was no known internal system in the candle that allows it to go out, thus avoiding fires or burns.

The device that the invention proposes resolves the aforementioned problems in a fully satisfactory manner, providing a series of advantages and innovative features, and without this implying any reduction in its performance in other aspects.

The proposed invention aims to provide an economical, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be a safer use of all types of candles.

The present invention has its field of application in the candle sector.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the sector of the invention in question, although none of them fulfill the same function or provide the same advantageous characteristics.

Thus, in document ES 2 558 932 T3 we find a candle holder arrangement comprising a candle holder and a candle, the candle holder comprising a body having a mouth, a base and sides that connect the mouth to the base, the mouth comprising an opening intended to receive a candle and at least a portion of the sides tapering inwardly from the mouth toward the base, wherein a point further inward of the tapered portion of the sides defines an opening having a size that is less than the from the widest part of the candle in such a way that the unburnt candle is retained within the candle holder before it burns, characterized in that the unburnt candle has a top, a base and sides connecting the top to the base, wherein at least a portion of the sides tapers inward from the top to the bottom of the candle and the tapered portion of the sides of the candle corresponds to the tapered portion of the sides of the candlestick before and after insertion of the candle into the candle holder and is retained within the candle holder only by the tapered portion of the candle holder sides, where a reduction in the outer circumference of the candle during burning causes the candle to fall through the opening.

On the other hand, document ES 2 331 053 T3 provides a protective cap for its placement on a container of a lantern to protect a candle in the lantern, provided with a lower part for its application to the container, at least one escape directed upwards for hot air from a candle flame in the container and cold air inlets that are separately arranged in the protective hood to supply cold air inside the container, characterized by a conical top hood that at its top it has a central exhaust for hot air coming from the container and because the upper conical cap is integrated with a lower inner wall and an outer wall, respectively.

In turn, document ES 1135485 U claims a box that blows a candle with a surprise consisting of a gift box, of any shape, prepared to be able to place a motif in the form of a traditional candle, cartoon character or cartoon character on its upper part. any other, equipped with one or several candles, which, once lit, is offered to the person honored in order to blow out the existing flames, characterized in that it is presented as a candle-blowing box, prismatic in principle with a rectangular base , although it can be in any other way, with a lid adorned with a bow, in the upper part of which there is a clamp where one or more candles can be adjusted. The candle blowing box has a hinged door and a bottom inclined towards said hinged door, containing inside an opening mechanism, an automatic engine stop device, a tractor car, a trailer platform, both vehicles with wheels, a gift and a retention.

In these documents we find inventions related to candles, however, none of them effectively prevent accidents such as fires or burns.

Thus we see that until now a device was not known that, due to its novel characteristics, resolves the aforementioned drawbacks both in terms of the cited documents and other inventions or traditional systems that we find in the state of the art.

Taking into consideration the cases mentioned and analyzed the conjugated arguments, with the invention proposed in this document, a final result is given in which significant differentiating aspects are provided compared to the current state of the art, and where a series of of advances in the already known elements with their corresponding advantages.

In particular:

- Easy use.

- It is an interior element so it does not harm the aesthetics of the sail. - Allow the candle to go out in the event of a fall or tilt of more than 45 degrees.

- Simple and economical device.

- Reduced weight.

- Applicable to all types of candles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the present invention is made up of the following elements: A body that is preferably tubular, conical or of another appropriate shape, inserted vertically in the inner central zone of a candle, between 3 and 10 mm. approximately in length, which has a central longitudinal hole throughout its length and a perimeter wall, which extends from between 1 and 3 millimeters below the upper face of the candle downwards, housing a wick inside that goes from the interior of the candle until it emerges from the upper face of the candle.

As the candle melts, the wax enters the device and it falls by weight and gravity.

In the event of a fall or inclination of more than 45 degrees in lighted candles, the device would be fired dragging the wax from the wick and due to speed it drags or eliminates the oxygen that may be inside the device, preventing the candle from continuing to burn.

Avoid the complete consumption of the candle and, therefore, incidents such as fires.
