Abstract
A candle having one wick (4) has a fire resistant body (5) attached to it, having such a great proportion between the length and width to held it upright in the stearin during burning of the wick above the body. The fireproof body is preferably a metal sleeve (5) fixed to the lower part of the wick (4).
Description
Arrangement to Candles
The invention concerns an arrangment to candles, as described in the introductory part of claim 1.
Background There is a need for an arrangement that automatically extinguishes candles before they burn down to their holders. This is to avoid any fire risks in cases where combustible candlesticks are used or where a complete burning somehow may cause a safety risk. An earlier suggestion was to fire proof the lower part of the wick in a candle with fire retardant material so that the wick would burn down to a point and leave a candle-end in the candlestick.
With the use of a metal body at the lower part of the candle, as described in the Norwegian Patentpublication No. 6643, the metal body might melt througt the stearin and thus set the candlestick on fire. Moreover, it might tilt and thus melt through the side of the candle, with a risk of setting the candle stick on fire. This known solution does therefore not give any increase in safety.
Object of the invention
The main object of the invention is to create a candle which gives a reliable extinguishing of the flame at a predetermined level. The arrangement should be simple to manufacture and has a high degree of reliability.
The invention
In accordance with the invention, the object is acheived by providing a candle with features as stated in the charact¬ erizing part of claim 1. Experiments have shown that with this arrangement it is possible to acheive the desired effect of reliable and safe extinguishing at the decided level. The sleeve around the wick might become warm but it will not relocate. The use of the sleeve as described will therefore
give the desired effect.
Example
The invention will be described below with reference to the drawing, showing a partial cross sectional view of a candle in a candlestick.
In the drawing is shown a normal lathed, wooden candle¬ stick 1 with a holder 2 of three gradations to fit candles of three different diameters. In the example, a relatively thick candle is put uppermost in the stick 2a. Thus there will be a hollow space 2b below the candle.
The candle 3 is provided with a wick 4. At the lowest part of the wick a metal sleeve 5 is attached. The sleeve ends above the lower end of the wick and candle 6. The sleeve 5 is made of metal e.g. aluminium. Other sleeves of unburnable material can also be used, provided that the sleeve is fixed to the wick without letting through fluid stearin (wax). The sleeve has to have such a great length in proportion to its length, so that it remains erect in the wax during burning. It may have a length of 30-40 mm being a metal tube with thin walls.
When the candle 3 burns down, the flame will approach the upper edge of the sleeve 5. Heating of the sleeve 5 could lead to melting of some of the stearin around the sleeve, but it will be held in position by the underlying part of the wick in the area 6, still being anchored in the stearin. The length of the area 6 may be e.g. 10 mm, min 5 mm.
The sleeve in the example is fixed to the wick at its ends. It can be fixed either by a casting- or impregnation agent, optionally by heating treatment.
Preferably is used a metal tubular sleeve. Thus it will be possible by help of a suitable metal detector, to ensure that the finished candles are provided with flame extinguish¬ ing sleeves. Together with the visual control done during manufacturing, this metod provides assurance that the candles have been provided with a functional extinguishing mechanism.
The wick is preferably taken to the lower end of the . candle, but it may also be cut at the lower edge of the
sleeve 5, even if this is not as suitable for the maufacturing.
Claims
1. Stearin candle with at least one permanent wick of burnable material, to which a sleeve of unburnable material is attached to the lower part, that discontinues the capillary fuel provision to the flame, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by a) the sleeve (5) is made fluid fuel proof in all its length, b) the sleeve (5) is fixed to the wick (4) to prevent stearin from being drawn to the top of the sleeve, and c) the lower part of the sleeve (5) ends at a predetermined point above the lower end of the wick and the candle.
2. Candle in accordance with claim 1, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by the sleeve comprises a metal, particularily aluminium.
3. Candle in accordance with patent claim 3, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by the lower part of the sleeve ends above the lower part of the wick and candle (3) in a distance being at least 5 mm, preferably ca. 10 mm.
4. Candle in accordance with patent claim 1, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by sleeve (5) is attached or clamped to the wick (4) at its both ends.
5. Candle in accordance with patent claim 3, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by the wick ending inside or just below the sleeve (5).
