Definitions

the invention relates to a candle lamp with a cup-shaped container, which has a filling consisting of a candle mass with a wick and preferably a lid with air inlet openings.
Such lights are often used as grave lights, but can also be used as lanterns in general, for example in the hospitality industry.
the main disadvantage is that the filling does not burn out completely and that usually a candle mass adhering to the container wall in the lower region of the container wall and approximately hollow-conical to the container axis remains in the container, which then is made with the container, which is usually made of plastic is thrown away. In any case, the remains of the candle lamp are not reusable and increase the garbage polluting the environment.
the object of the invention is to remedy this deficiency and to improve the candle lamp described at the outset in such a way that a complete burnout of the candle mass in the container is ensured.
the invention solves the problem in that the wick is assigned at least one short wick, possibly with different thicknesses and / or impregnation, along the lower third of its length and the wicks are held by clamping tabs of a base plate.
the purpose of the bottom plate with the clamping tabs is to prevent the wicks from falling over in the candle mass that is becoming liquid and thus preventing the flame from extinguishing. There then remains an empty container into which a new filling, which is designed as a compact, can be inserted, so that the container can be used again and again, especially if it is made of glass, the disposal of which is ultimately due to its usability as a raw material no problems.
a filling made from paraffin, but also from a paraffin-oil or fat combination, can be used as the filling.
the wick usually consists of impregnated cotton fibers, the length of the short wick or short wick depending on the composition of the candle mass and the dimensions of the container.
a candle insert 2 consisting of a compact is arranged in a cup-shaped glass container 1.
the glass container 1 has a lid 3 which has air inlet openings 4.
the candle insert 2 is provided with a wick 5 made of cotton fibers.
a second wick, that is to say a short wick 6, is arranged adjacent to the lower part of the wick 5.
the short wick 6 can also have a greater thickness and / or a different impregnation than the wick 5.
wick 5 and short wick 6 can be clamped between punched-out tabs 8 and thus held together or prevented from falling over.
