ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. The candle oil is contained in a container. An inflammable and heat-resistant solid heat-isolating body is filled between the bottom of the candle oil and the bottom of the container. By means of the inflammability and heat-resistance of the solid heat-isolating body, the bottom of the container and the table face are protected from being burned and when the candle oil is exhausted, the flame will automatically go out. In addition, decorative articles such as dry flowers, shells and shinning chips are embedded in the transparent or semitransparent solid heat-isolating body to achieve a novel artistic value and create romantic and pleasant atmosphere.
After the candlewick of a conventional candle is ignited, the molten candle oil will flow or drop down along the candle column to form candle tear or even solidify on a table face. This affects the appearance of the table face. Moreover, the high temperature candle oil tends to burn the table face. In addition, the flame of the candle is likely to be blown out by wind. Therefore, such an improved candle has been developed that solid candle is contained in a container. After ignited, the candle oil will not flow out and the flame is prevented from being blown out by wind.
FIG. 1
shows a commercially available container solid candle which has some shortcomings as follows:
1. The candle oil W is directly filled into the container C. When the candlewick W
1
is continuously burnt, the heat is conducted from the bottom of the container C to the table face T. Moreover, when the candle oil W is burnt to the bottom of the container, the high temperature of the molten candle oil is more likely to be conducted through the bottom C
1
of the container C to the table face T. As a result, the table face may be burned and damaged and burning marks may be left on the table face.
2. When the candle oil W burns, the heat is conducted to the container C and tends to burn human body when contacting with the container. Moreover, the high temperature may cause breakage of the container C (such as glass-made container) and lead to a fire.
3. After the candle oil W is exhausted and the candlewick W
1
is no more supplied with candle oil, the candlewick W
1
will burn dry. Generally, the candlewick is pure cotton-made so that a waste gas will be produced due to incomplete burning. The thick smoke will create a stimulating smell to deteriorate the atmosphere.
In addition, in a general dining or celebration site such as a coffee shop or a restaurant, an artistic candle is often placed on the table face to achieve a romantic or pleasant atmosphere. However, after the candlewick of the conventional artistic candle is ignited, the molten candle oil will flow or drop down along the candle column to form candle tear or even solidify on a table face. This affects the appearance of the table face. Moreover, the high temperature candle oil tends to burn the table face. Also, the existent artistic candle has monotonous pattern which can hardly satisfy the requirement of the guests.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. By means of the heat-resistance of the solid heat-isolating body, the heat generated when the candle oil burns is isolated from the bottom of the container and the table face so that the table face is protected from being burned.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect, including an inflammable solid heat-isolating body which is able to protect the container from breaking due to high temperature so as to avoid fire.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. When the candle oil is exhausted, by means of the inflammability of the solid heat-isolating body, the flame will automatically go out so that the candlewick is prevented from burning dry so as to avoid stimulating smell and thick smoke.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. The heat-isolating body is solid so that there is no problem of leakage and it is easy to transfer the candle.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. The heat-isolating body is solid so that the candlewick cannot absorb the solid heat-isolating body and the candlewick can be totally burned out.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect. The transparent or semitransparent solid heat-isolating body is plastic and filled into the bottom of a specially patterned container. Moreover, the decorative dry flowers, shells or shinning chips are embedded in the solid heat-isolating body to achieve a novel artistic candle and create pleasant atmosphere.
According to the above objects, the container solid light candle with heat-isolating effect of the present invention includes: a container, a solid candle oil contained in the container, at least one candlewick passing through the solid candle oil from top face to bottom face thereof, an inflammable solid heat-isolating body filled between a bottom of the container and the solid candle oil, the solid heat-isolating body serving to isolate the heat generated by the burning candle oil and conducted through the container, whereby the flame of the candlewick will automatically go out when reaching the solid heat-isolating body.
A bottom section of the candlewick passes through the bottom of the solid candle oil to contact with the solid heat-isolating body.
The solid heat-isolating body is made in such a manner that water is added to polysacharides or hydrocolloids and the mixture is heated and solved and then cooled and solidified to form the solid heat-isolating body.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be starch.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be agar.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be agar flour.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be carrageenan.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be algin.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be pectin.
The polysacharides or hydrocolloids can be konjac flour.
The solid heat-isolating body is an inflammable solid body.
The solid heat-isolating body is a heat-resistant solid body.
The solid heat-isolating body is a transparent solid body and decorative articles are embedded in the solid heat-isolating body for decorating the container solid light candle.
The decorative articles can be dry flowers, shinning chips or shells.
The solid heat-isolating body is a transparent solid body. A hydrophilic dye is added into the solid heat-isolating body and decorative articles are embedded in the solid heat-isolating body for decorating the container solid light candle.
The decorative articles include dry flowers, shinning chips and shells.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
