Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the field of candle manufacture, more particularly to the construction of a candle container which restricts the movement of wicks.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

When making a candle container from combustible materials, it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of ignition of the container. The most likely cause of the spark plug ignition is that the stick wick slides against the wall of the pan. The container wall may catch fire due to direct flame. The stick holder can slide to the vessel wall when the candle is moved or moved, when the combustible material of the candle becomes liquid. One solution to this problem is to prevent the stick holder with the flaming stick from approaching the container wall at a dangerous distance.

A review of this problem in patent documents discloses US20030064340A1, published June 2003. April 3 It provides a solution where the wick is fixed to a disc-shaped base and the base is made of non-combustible material. No structural solutions are provided to ensure an adequate distance between the wick and the container walls. The size of the wick to which the wick is attached does not allow the wick to come close to the wall of the dish. It also uses a wick base material that increases the cost of making the candle.

Patent EP1232588B1 (published October 15, 2003) discloses a solution for forming a recess in the bottom of a candle container to accommodate a wick base. The recess in question is slightly recessed, which does not ensure that the base of the wick cannot penetrate outside the recess when the flammable substance is in a liquid state. If the recess is deep, the spark plug loses its stability, the volume of the combustible material is reduced, and the high edges of the recess may come close to flame and ignite.

Document VV02003064921A3 (published January 22, 2004) provides a solution for placing a plate with a hole through which a wick is inserted into a candle container, thereby limiting the movement of the wick. This type of candle production leads to higher production costs (plate production, placement), when the amount of combustible material remains low, the plate restricts the possibility of free access to the wick.

Documents FR2626961A1 (published August 11, 1989) and VVO9621124A1 (published March 18, 1998) provide a solution for forming tapered projections on the bottom of a candle container that can effectively prevent wick changes, with little or no combustible material remaining. it is in liquid form. However, such protrusions are difficult to produce, and when the candle stops burning, they appear themselves in close proximity to the flame, which may cause ignition.

Summarizing the state of the art, the following disadvantages are encountered in solving the problem of wick change when the combustible material becomes liquid:

the solutions provided do not ensure a stable location of the wick, which would not allow the spark plug to ignite;

the proposed solutions inefficiently, irrationally increase the cost of candle production;

the solutions presented interfere with the candle burning process;

wick site limiting measures can easily ignite.

The following description describes a solution that avoids the above disadvantages and additionally adds strength to the spark plug vessel.

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

Containers containing flammable substances, wicks and other elements used for making candles. Non-combustible materials such as glass, aluminum (or other metal), ceramics, or other materials are commonly used to make candle dishes. When making a candle container from a non-flammable material, it must be ensured that when the flammable material of the candle (eg paraffin) enters the liquid state, the wick of the candle (with holder) will not approach the vessel wall or other elements at a distance .

This description describes a lock formed at the junction of the candle holder wall and the bottom, which prevents the wick and its holder from approaching the container wall. Such a design solution is easy and inexpensive to realize during production, and does not prevent the candle from burning. In addition, this solution also provides greater strength and structural stability of the candle container.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In this description, the term "bracket" is understood to mean the element, the base to which the wick is attached in its lower part.

Place the combustible material of the candle in a container (1) so that it does not escape into the environment when the candle is burning, when the combustible material has reached its melting point and has melted and become a liquid. Typically, candle containers (1) are made of refractory materials such as aluminum (or other metal), ceramics, glass. There are often materials that can be used to make candle jars (1) much simpler, cheaper, more environmentally friendly or for other reasons, but they do not always have the required fire resistance. On the other hand, when the candle is burning, the fire resistance is not a permanent property of the vessel (1). If the candle burns in a non-windy environment, the container (1) shall not be moved or otherwise moved between the flame and the container (1) unless the container (1) is made of highly flammable, highly flammable material; flames so that the temperature of the vessel (1) does not reach a temperature which would cause the vessel (1) to spontaneously ignite or ignite for other reasons, such as ignition by direct fire, melting by ignition, etc.

The lower part of the candle wick is usually fixed in the wick holder (3), the wick with its holder (3) is placed in the candle jar (1) and the wick is surrounded by the candle's combustible material. Solid state flammable material also keeps the wick away from motion.

When all the combustible material becomes liquid, the wick holder (3) can be fixed to the bottom (5) of the spark plug vessel (1) to prevent the wick holder (3) from moving in the vessel (1). At least the following types of mounting are possible:

chemical when the wick holder (3) is attached to the bottom (5) of the candle container (1) using glue or other chemicals. It is a convenient method of production, but the adhesive must be extremely heat resistant, able to adhere well to difficult adhesive surfaces (metal, glass, etc.), which can be costly, unfriendly to the environment and not provide sufficient security.

mechanical, whereby the movement of the wick holder (3) is restricted by forming elements, protrusions, recesses or the like in the bottom (5) of the container (1) or in the wick holder (3) which obstruct the free movement of the wick holder (3). In this case, the optimal arrangement, size, shape of the elements is required, as otherwise the element may not provide sufficient obstruction, prevent the movement of the bracket (3) or, on the contrary, be too large, which may pose an additional threat to fire. the stopping element may be inconvenient to manufacture.

This description describes a candle element retainer (2) (Fig. 3) that stops the wick holder (3) formed at the junction of the wall (4) and the bottom (5) of the candle container (1). The perpendicular cross-section of the base of the candle (5) and the wall (4) usually resembles a perpendicular or close angle. The retainer (2) resembles in its shape a plate in which one of the three dimensions is vanishingly small compared to the other two dimensions. One of the edges of the latch (2) contacts the inside of the wall (4) of the candle container (1) and the other side adjacent to that edge touches the inside of the bottom (5) of the candle container (1). Said edges are fixedly fixed to the wall (4) and bottom (5). In another embodiment, the latch (2), the wall (4) and the bottom (5) are made of a single piece of material. The other side of the retainer (2) is oriented inside the candle container (1). There are different variations of that border shape.

In one embodiment (Fig. 4), the inside of the candle is directed to the inside of the latch (2), which resembles a straight line connecting the wall (4) and the bottom (5) of the vessel (1). In this case, the shape of the latch (2) resembles a triangle.

In another embodiment, the edge of the latch (2) oriented inwardly of the candle resembles a concave arc (Fig. 5), the concavity oriented towards the corner (4) and the bottom (5) of the vessel (1), i.e. the radius of the arc extending from the arc to the center of the arc is oriented inside the vessel (1). The bow may be irregularly shaped. The latch (2) is formed as a rounded corner of the vessel (1) wall (4) and bottom (5), i.e. the wall (4) and bottom (5) of the vessel (1) at the latch (2) do not form a right angle, but resemble a round, concave shape.

In another embodiment, the inside of the candle is oriented toward the edge of the latch (2), which resembles a convex arc (Fig. 6) oriented inside the vessel (1). The periphery resembles a circular arc whose radius extends from the arc to the center of the arc and faces outwards from the vessel (1). The bow in question may have an irregular shape.

In another embodiment, the edge of the latch (2) oriented inwardly of the candle resembles a concave arc (Fig. 7) oriented towards the corner (4) and bottom (5) of the vessel (1), but the edge at the arc joining the wall (4) and the bottom (5) makes an almost right angle to the outside of the vessel (1) and then joins one end with the wall (4) and the other end with the bottom (5). The ends of the edge are connected to the bottom (5) or the wall (4) to form a perpendicular or close angle.

In another embodiment, the edge of the latch (2) oriented inwardly of the candle resembles a cross-sectional shape of a staircase (Fig. 8). The end edge with the bottom (5) of the vessel (1) forms a perpendicular or close angle to it, the edge being oriented inside the vessel (1), parallel to or nearly parallel to the wall (4) of the vessel (1). The walls (4) of (1) become parallel or nearly parallel to the bottom (5) of the vessel (1) and perpendicular to the wall (4) of the vessel (1). It then repeats the change of direction already described, thus forming a staircase-like shape. The number of stairs available is one, two (Fig. 9), three or different. Said stair-shaped cross-section may have rounded corners.

In another embodiment (Fig. 10), the edge of the latch (2) oriented inwardly of the candle forms a combination of the already described cases where the edge forms a stair at the bottom (5) of the vessel (1) and then orientates towards the wall (4). ) with a 45 ° or close angle formed by a portion of the wall (4) between the bottom (5) and the edge of the latch (2) and the edge of the latch (2).

In another embodiment (Fig. 11), the edge of the latch (2) oriented inwardly of the candle forms a combination of the described embodiments, whereby the edge of the latch (2) forms a stair at the bottom (5) of the vessel (1) (1) passes to the bottom (5)) into a concave arc (the arc of the arc extending from the arc to the center of the arc is directed to the inside of the vessel).

The shape of most of the latches (2) is chosen so that if the wick holder (3) slides on the top of the latch (2) (Fig. 2), it is due to the peculiarities of the latches (2) , the wick holder (3) will be pushed down by its gravity to its normal position, away from the wall (4) of the container (1).

Although the distance of the wick to the wall (4) is reduced when the wick holder (3) slides on the retainer (2), due to the unevenness of the wick holder (3) with the bottom (5) of the dish (1) the top of the stick is farther away from the wall (4) and the flame has no way of approaching the wall (4) at a dangerous distance.

One of the boundary points of the edges of the latches (2) in contact with the bottom (5) coincides with the junction between the wall (4) and the bottom (5) of the vessel (1); the other edge point is on an apparent line connecting said line point of the junction of the wall (4) and the bottom (5) with the center of the bottom (5). The edge of the latch (2) adjacent to the bottom (5) of the vessel (1) is directed away from the wall (4) of the vessel (1) to the center of the bottom (5) of the vessel (1). In this way, at a certain distance from each other, the latches (2) are arranged on the entire junction line of the bottom (5) and the wall (4). The spacing between the latches (2) depends on the diameter of the spark plug holder (3). The spacing of the locking devices (2) must be such that the wick holder (3) does not fit between the ends of the locking device (2) closest to the center of the bottom (5). The distance between the ends of the latch (2) closest to the center of the bottom (5) must be less than the diameter of the wick holder (3). Thus, the wick with the holder (3) cannot fit between the latches (2) and approach the wall (4) of the container (1) at a dangerously short distance when the wall (4) of the container (1) can reach its ignition temperature.

The aforementioned distance between the edge points of the latches (2), which prevents the wick holder (3) from fitting between them, also determines the amount of latches (2) in the spark plug vessel (1). The locking device (2) must be located so as to ensure a sufficient distance between the points of the locking device (2). The amount of latches (2) can also be determined by the diameter of the wick holder (3), i.e. If the diameter of the bracket (3) is large (eg 30 mm.), the latches (2) may be small: even a small amount will ensure that the bracket (3) does not fit between the latches (2).

The lengths of the joint between the locking device (2) and the bottom (5) and the connection between the locking device (2) and the wall (4) must ensure an adequate minimum distance from the wick holder (3) to the wall (4) of the vessel (1). The appropriate distance shall be selected taking into account the wick strength value, the degree of ignition of the vessel (1), the dimensions of the vessel (1), the diameter of the wick holder (3) and other factors that may cause the vessel (1) to ignite due to unacceptably close flame. The above factors may be determined by theoretical calculations, experimental tests or other means.

The retainers (2) may be made of a variety of heat and flame-retardant materials; they may be made of a material other than the bottom of the candle (5); can be attached in many ways. In a preferred embodiment, these latches (2) are made of the same material as the candle container (1). If the candle container (1) is made by casting, it is most convenient to prepare such molds which simultaneously form the whole candle container (1) together with the said latches (2).

The spark plug receptacle (1) with such locking devices (2) ensures that the wick with the wick holder (3) does not come close to the structural members of the receptacle (1) so that the said structural elements become very hot and ignite. The latches (2) themselves are shaped in such a principle (low, without sharp protrusions, etc.) to prevent ignition. As a result, the spark plug receptacle (1) may be made of non-flammable materials.

In order to illustrate and describe the present invention, the following is a description of the most preferred embodiments. It is not a detailed or restrictive description intended to determine the exact form or embodiment. the description above should be viewed as an illustration rather than as a limitation to it. It will be appreciated that many modifications and variations may be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the embodiment is selected and described to best explain the principles of the invention and their best practical application for different embodiments with different modifications suitable for a particular application or implementation. The scope of the invention is intended to be defined by the appended definition and its equivalents, in which all the foregoing terms have the widest possible meaning, unless otherwise stated.

Embodiments described by those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the following definition.
