ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a candle and the method of making the same and more particularly to a candle wherein soybean oil comprises about 50 to 95 volume percent of the candle.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many types of candles have been previously provided. In many cases, the candles create undesirable smoke and leave a sooty residue in the area where they were burned.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A candle composition and the method of making the same are described. The candle composition consists of essentially of about 5 to 40 volume percent of a paraffin wax; about 5 to 10 volume percent of a candle scent; about 0.25 to 1 volume percent of a binding agent; and about 50 to 95 volume percent of a soybean oil. More particularly, the candle consists essentially of about 16.75 volume percent of a paraffin wax having a melting point of 125° F.; about 8 volume percent of a candle scent; about 0.25 volume percent of a binding agent; and about 75 volume percent of a soybean oil. Approximately 1 to 5 drops of a liquid dye is added to the composition.
The method of forming the candle comprises the steps of: adding a predetermined amount of binding agent to a predetermined amount of paraffin wax; heating the binding agent and paraffin wax to a predetermined temperature; adding a predetermined amount of soybean oil to the heated binding agent and paraffin wax mixture; heating the soybean oil, binding agent and paraffin wax mixture to a predetermined temperature; adding a predetermined amount of candle scent to the heated soybean oil, binding agent and paraffin wax mixture; adding a predetermined amount of dye to the mixture; and pouring the mixture into pre-wicked candle containers.
It is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved candle and the method of making the same.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a candle which burns cleanly and does not leave a residue of soot.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a candle which utilizes a high percentage of soybean oil.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved method of making a candle.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a candle which is economical of manufacture.
These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
