Definitions

  • This invention relates to candles.
  • fragrances in candles, such that the fragrance was dispensed as the candle burned, the heat from the candle and the air current caused thereby aiding in the dissemination of the fragrance.
  • Other benefits that have been provided are changing colours and sparkle effects, both achieved by the dispersion of selected finely-divided metals or metal salts in the candle wax.
  • Another desirable effect is to have a change of fragrance. This is generally achieved by making a candle in layers, with the wax of each layer containing a different fragrance.
  • a candle comprising a body of combustible wax and a wick, there being dispersed within the body inclusions of a combustible wax that has a higher melting point than has the wax of the body, said inclusions comprising a modifier.
  • modifier any substance or mixture of substances that provides a property other than illumination.
  • modifiers include, but are not restricted to, fragrances and finely-divided metals and metal salts, to give interesting and pleasing visual effects, such as sparkling and other pyrotechnic effects and flame colour changes. It is naturally possible to provide more than one modifier, for example, both a fragrance and a pyrotechnic effect.
  • a means of providing in a candle comprising a body of combustible wax and a wick a modifier, comprising the provision throughout the body of modifier-containing inclusions of a combustible wax that has a higher melting point than has the wax of the body.
  • melting point is meant the temperature at which the wax is completely liquid. Unlike pure compounds, waxes do not have a sharp melting point, but soften and melt over a range of temperatures. The upper temperature of the range is considered the melting point for the purposes of this disclosure.
  • the wax is generally a relatively low melting point variety, such as paraffin wax and beeswax, with a melting point typically of about 53°-57°C, although other temperatures can be used.
  • the wax comprising the modifier (hereinafter “the modifier wax”) has a higher melting point than has the wax of the candle body. This is necessary so that the inclusions may be added in finely-divided form to the liquid body wax and retain their integrity.
  • the melting point of the modifier wax must therefore be sufficiently high so that it can withstand this treatment.
  • the choice of a suitable wax is well within the ordinary skill of the art. Typical examples include microcrystalline waxes (sometimes known as "microwax”) typically with melting points in the range of about 75°-77°C
  • the modifier wax has a higher melting point can often mean that it has a higher density than the body wax, which in turn may mean that, when the inclusions are added, they will tend to sink to the bottom of the molten body wax.
  • This can be countered in a number of ways.
  • One is to create the candle in layers, such that any settling of inclusions take place only within a layer. This is a useful method if a "timed" effect is desired, that is, that the modifier effects take place at selected time intervals.
  • Another is to add to the inclusions materials that modify its density to the same value as the molten body wax. Examples of such materials include inherently light and air-containing materials, for example, hollow glass or plastic spheres. Commercially-available examples of hollow glass spheres include Q-CeIl or Sphericel from Omya UK Ltd.
  • the inclusions are associated with the candle wick.
  • association is meant that they are retained in close proximity to the wick. This can be achieved in any suitable manner, and the skilled person will readily comprehend the possibilities.
  • the inclusions are of a form that allows them to be stacked around the wick - for example, at least part-circular; - the inclusions are attached to the wick by any suitable means, such as being partially melted around the wick, adhesive or mechanical attachment. This embodiment has the advantage that the modifiers will all be exposed to the flame.
  • modifiers need not be the same, and particular novelty effects may be realised by alternating modifier types in the inclusions associated with the wick.
  • modifier types for example, several different types of fragrance may be used, incorporated into different modifier waxes, these being associated with the wick in a predetermined order, such that there is a change in fragrance at one or more points during the candle life.
  • Another possibility is the achievement of a variety of colour or pyrotechnic effects, by using different modifiers.
  • the modifier in the inclusions is at least one fragrance.
  • the fragrance may be selected from any of the wide variety of fragrances known to be suitable for use in candles. As hereinabove mentioned, it is possible to have different fragrances in the inclusions, and in the body of the candle itself.
  • the fragrance in the inclusion material comprises at least 20% of ingredients that have a perception threshold of less than 300 nanograms per liter.
  • Perception threshold is a parameter well known in the fragrance art and it may be measured by a number of different methods, for example, that of Neuener- Jehle and Etzweiler in "Art Science and Technology” (ed. Lampaski and Muller, Elsevier 1991),.ch.6, 153-212.
  • the perception threshold is less than 20 nanograms per liter, and less than about 10 nanograms per liter.
  • Figure 1 depicts a schematic vertical cross-section through one embodiment of this disclosure.
  • Figure 2 depicts a schematic vertical cross-section through another embodiment of this disclosure.
  • the waxes used are as follows: Body wax - Paraffin wax (melting point, 53°-57°C) Modifier wax - Microwax (melting point, 75°-77°C)
  • the candle is formed in a glass jar 1.
  • a centrally-and vertically-mounted wick 2 is attached to the floor of the jar by means of a fixed support 3, permanently attached to the floor.
  • the wick is surrounded by the abovementioned body wax 4.
  • dispersed beads 5 of modifier wax Within this wax are dispersed beads 5 of modifier wax. These contain the desired modifier material, and have had their density adjusted by the incorporation of 5% Q-CeIl 7019 glass spheres, such that they tend neither to float nor to sink when added to the molten body wax.
  • the candle of Figure 1 is made by melting the body wax and maintaining it in a molten state (but at a temperature below the melting point of the modifier wax) while adding the beads of modifier wax and dispersing them therein. The molten mixture is then poured into the jar 1, in which the wick 2 has already been placed, and allowed to harden.
  • the modifier wax is in the form of toroidal elements 6. These are preformed and placed around the wick 2, prior to the pouring into the jar of the body wax.
