Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel method of producing candles making it possible to achieve original visual aspects.
- the invention extends to the products obtained by such a process.
- the production of candles or candles is mainly carried out by paraffin molding.
- the molding technique allows a wide variety of shapes to be obtained.
- the candles obtained can also be decorated in various ways, essentially by applications of inlays, by surface coloring effects in the mass, etc.
- the present invention aims to provide a process leading to an original and new decorative appearance, based essentially on a frank color transition between different areas.
- the envisaged technique should also allow largely automated production in a simple and efficient manner, in order to arrive at a product which is both original and capable of being produced at reasonable costs.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing candles and is based on the characteristic of assembly from different layers, each individual layer being constituted by a series of elongate contiguous elements, generally of square or rectangular section, hereinafter referred to as "sticks", of contrasting colors, the succession of the layers being characterized essentially by different angular orientations, in a stack of layers, this stack being then joined and undergoing a final cutting of shaping according to the desired geometric shape.
- the "sticks" are obtained from an extruded plate produced from a colored paraffin powder having the desired thickness, which is cut into longitudinal strips.
- the assembly of the sticks in alternating colors, the superposition of the different layers with different spatial orientation of the layers with reference to the longitudinal axis of the sticks, the assembly and the final cutting of the assembly can also be fully automated.
- the wick which is necessary can be simply interposed between the different layers before the sticks are joined together and the layers between them.
- This joining can be achieved by a slight rise in temperature, but is also possible using other physical techniques leading to the desired result.
- sufficient cohesion of the various constituent elements can be obtained by compression.
- the paraffin generally used is more or less naturally self-adhesive, and the assembly requires only moderate physical effects.
- the product obtained is characterized by a clearly marked color contrast, which reveals frank coloristic transitions between different zones, in particular between contrasting colored surfaces, which can be square or rectangular but also other shapes, such as round or hexagonal. , with the appearance, if desired, of one or more continuous colored bands.
- a second layer 13 of the same type is superimposed (either identical to the first layer, or different from the latter in particular in the choice and the alternation of colors), but by anyway modifying the angular orientation.
- the second layer is rotated 90 ° relative to the first.
- an uncut plate can be inserted between the different layers (in this case the black layer 15 appearing in FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the cube of FIG. 3 is obtained by cutouts on the four lateral faces at 45 ° with respect to the alignments of "sticks", which lets appear on the four side faces a succession of squares or rectangles, preferably variegated and a continuous black layer (from plate 15).
- wicks 21 have also been shown, it being understood that these, having been interposed between layers, extend into the mass of the candle.
- the invention is in particular not limited to the dimensions and geometric configurations indicated, either at the level of the individual layers, or at the level of the external shapes of the candle.
