Abstract
A system and a method for enhancing burning candle and improving volatiles performance with a tube having holes and/or cuts or a candle container having at least one inner-tube having holes and/or cuts, continuously supplying the fresh air through the holes and/or cuts, and supplying the fresh air to the foot of the burning wick, and for manufacturing the same.
Description
- This invention relates generally to the field of candle system and more specifically to a system and a method for enhancing candle burning and improving volatiles' performance and further relates to a method for manufacturing the same. This invention further specifically relates to a system and a method to continuously supply the fresh air to near the foot of the burning wick and the top surface of candle in a candle container.
- Candles have traditionally been used to lighten the dark and are still an important light source in some countries and still an important emergency light source even in the developed countries when the electric light source is shut off for any reason. In addition, candles are used to heat up some materials such as portable foods. Nowadays candles with volatiles are very common in providing fragrance, aromas, pesticides, and even anti-microbial compounds into the atmosphere for a wide variety of reasons. In addition to brightness of burning candle flame, fragrances and aromas from a candle are used to improve the feel or mood of a location and are often used to improve an original emotional response and also aid in the development of a specific emotional response. In addition, biologically active compounds such as pesticides and pest repellants are delivered by using candles which are still preferred because of their portability and cost vs. mood performance in many occasions.
- However, one of the drawbacks of candle is that a part of solid candle wax is liquefied (to melting wax) while it is burning; wherein the m lting wax pool gradually becomes a rather large pool, and the melting wax often times drips from the top of the candle; wherein the candle becomes messy and ugly, and in some case the melting wax can even cause damages such as on furniture surfaces. Especially, the candle including oils such as fragrance oils possibly causes more damages such as the furniture surface. To avoid this kind of drawback due to the melting wax, either a candle unified with a container, or a candle sitting in a container (or holder) while burning, are getting more and more popular to avoid such dripping followed by damages. As an additional advantage, a highly decorated container enhances more atmospheric mood than only a candle itself. Instead of using a container, some people use a plate or a tray to avoid such damage with better burning of the candle because the candle is always exposed to the fresh air (“open-candle”), but dripping of the melting wax almost always takes place; wherein not only the amount of wax is being significantly lost for a long period of time without burning due to wasting dripped wax, but also the dripped melting wax again is solidified and it looks very ugly and makes bad atmospheric mood. Further as the worst scenario, the spread melting wax on the tray occasionally starts to vigorously burn even without wick and possibly becomes a serious fire hazard. Further, performance of scented open-candle is poorer than a candle in a container (‘closed-candle’) because the melting wax pool is occasionally broken and the wax drips to give inconsistent fragrance dispersion.
- Accordingly, a candle in a bottle-like container (or holder) (‘closed-candle’) is very preferred by many consumers. Unfortunately, burning of a closed-candle is generally not very good because of its structural drawback to supply fresh airs (supply oxygens) compared to an open-candle. To improve burning, formulation of wax, type of wax and kinds of wick have been newly modified and developed. However none of these modifications can substantially improve the supply of fresh air to the foot of burning wick and the top surface of candle, which is a significant advantage for open-candles. Therefore an appropriate fragrance formula for scented candle in a container is very critical to maintain good burning due to rather shortage of the fresh air supply after burning for a while. In general, the longer period of time of candle burning, the poorer quality of candle burning because the candle's height and the wick gradually shorten and sinks into the bottom of container and in contrast the wax pool becomes larger and deeper, and as a result the supply of the fresh air to the foot of the burning wick and top surface of candle becomes gradually less and less.
- Neither a system effectively, economically and continuously supplying the fresh air directly to the foot of the burning wick and candle is in the market nor is disclosed in literatures.
- Referring now to
FIG. 1 a, a burningcandle container 11 includes acandle wax 12, acandle wick 13, awax pool 14, and acandle flame 16. Candlewax 12 may contain volatiles, including such volatiles as fragrances, essential oils, insect repellents, insecticides, and anti-microbial compounds. During use, at the beginning inFIG. 1 a, the outside air flows A1 a drawn to the candle container spreads to the upward air flows A2 a and the downward air flows A3 a; wherein the upward air flows A2 a is warmed and combined with the updraft air flows A5 a, but in contrast the downward air flows A3 a passes to the foot of theburning wick 13 and into thecandle flame 16.Candle flame 16, as hot as 2000° C., warms air flows A2 a, in combination with the combined pressure from surrounding air flows A3 a of thecontainer 11, create a broad and strong hot airflow as updraft A5 a - At the beginning of the candle burning the
top level 15 of thecandle wax 12 is close enough to the upper edge of the container's wall to get a fresh air from the outside of thecontainer 11, but as inFIG. 1 b after burning for a while, thetop level 15 of thecandle wax 12 or thewax pool 14 gradually sinks in the container. Accordingly, the burning wick is farther from the fresh air and in addition the fresh air supply becomes poorer because the stronger updraft A5 b takes the fresh air A1 b and disperses to the air before the branched fresh air A3 b reaches to the foot of the burningwick 13 area. Specifically, as if it is contradictive, the better burning, the poorer the fresh air to the foot of the burning wick. Accordingly to these air flows thecandle flame 16 becomes smaller which means poor burning, and poor volatility of the volatiles from thewax pool 14 resulting in poor volatiles' performance. This phenomenon can be observed when the flame becomes smaller and the candle is shaken, the flame becomes bigger and brighter with more air. - As a result of the multiple disadvantages inherent with conventional delivery candle systems, manufacturers have been forced to respond by (1) changing the wax base material to a more expensive substance, (2) changing the wick material to a more expensive one having a lower temperature of combustion, (3) improving the thermal resistance of the active volatiles placed in the base material, (4) increasing the concentration of volatile components within the base material to an expensive and unnecessarily high concentration, and (5) placing hoods above the wick in attempts to minimize wick flare-ups and re-radiate heat downward to minimize irregular molten pool shapes.
- Unfortunately, available commercial candle-base systems are only positioned to protect the candle flame from being blown out or for pleasing decoration or design purposes. Many candle hoods substantially decrease volatile performance because of inadequate design and use. There is not such a simple and feasible system to be able to supply the fresh air to the lower inside part of the candle container.
- A candle hood, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,190,439, is narrower at the top than the bottom and the candle is retained within walls extending above the molten pool level. Consequently, volatiles that escape from the molten pool are forced into a narrow cone containing the hot combustion gasses, and are thermally consumed. Volatiles that do escape the hot combustion gasses experience the additional turbulence resulting from the pressure gradient between the wide bottom and narrow top openings of the hood. In addition, the disclosed invention does not improve any air supply to the inside of candle container.
- The candle holder taught by Lee in U.S. Pat. No. 5,197,454 only diminishes fragrance or volatile performance in a number of ways. A retainer element is required that extends above the molten pool level and prevents the air from picking up the volatiles and transporting them away from the flame before combustion, while at the same time increasing the odds of combusting any volatiles which do escape from the molten pool. The volatile and smoke exit rate is so slow as to prevent almost any real distribution of fragrance within a room. The Lee system further minimizes performance volatile distribution by trapping the volatiles and combustion gasses below a bowl (and cup) thus creating a positive downward pressure and increased turbulence to further minimize volatile distribution. In addition, the Lee syst m does not improv any air supply to the inside of candle container.
- The primary object of the invention is to provide a system for better candle burning in the container.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for constantly supplying the fresh air to the foot of the burning wick of the candle in the container.
- Another object of the invention is to provide better performance of volatiles from the candle with volatiles.
- Another object of the invention is to provide better fragrance performance from the candle.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a system and a method for enhancing candle burning and improving volatiles comprising: a candle container with at least one inner-tube having at least one or preferably plural holes and/or cuts which allow the air and melting wax to pass the inside of the inner-tube; and wherein the height of the wall of inner-tube is higher than the height of the container wall.

The more melting wax is being accumulated at the bottom and at some point the wax in the inside of inner-tube 27 and the wax between the inner-tube 27 and the wall of thecontainer 11 become the same as a unified candle of the present invention. - Referring with
FIG. 4 a, after the aforementioned burning of an open-candle or aft r a short while burning of closed-candle, when the fresh air flows Ala reaches to near the wall of the inner-tube 27, the air flows A1 a spreads to upward flows A2 a and downward flows A3 a, and the downward air lows A3 a heads to thehole 27 a because of the minus pressured inside of the inner-tube due to updraft A5 a and passes to the inside of the inner-tube 27. In contrast to the upward air flows A2 a is incorporated into the updraft A5 a. - Referring to
FIG. 4 b, when the candle burning is continued, the wax level of the candle lowers and lowers, and the lower hole 27 b, 27 c and so on become available as passage of the fresh air and the melting wax; wherein when the fresh air flows A1 b reaches to near the wall of the inner-tube, the air flows A1 b spreads to upward flows A2 b and downward flows A3 b, and the downward air flows A3 b spreads to the downward air flows A3 b and A4 b heads to each holes, 27 a, 27 b, 27 c and so on because of the minus pressured inside of the inner-tube due to updraft A5 b and passes to the inside of the inner-tube 27; wherein some air passes to the inside of the inner-tube 27 through the hole 27 a and the rest of the air A4 b passes further downward and passes to the inside of the inner-tube 27 through the hole 27 c, since as aforementioned further continuous burning can open the lowest hole 27 c available to directly supply the fresh air to the foot of the burning further shortened wick; wherein since in a preferred composition holes 27 a, 27 b, 27 c and so on are not on the same perpendicular line of the inner-tube 27, the branched air flows A4 b can further down toward the hole 27 c with less passing the fresh air through upper hole 27 a to the inside of the inner-tube 27. As a result, the whole wax can be constantly, continuously, effectiv ly and brightly burned until all wick is gone. Thehole 27 b has the same function but the air flows are not described and not shown inFIG. 4 b. - A unified candle (closed-candle) can be manufactured in the steps comprising; setting the inner-tube in the container, setting at least one wick in the middle of the inner-tube, pouring the melting wax into the container to fill the inside of the inner-tube and the space between the inner-tube and the container, and leaving the wax to solidify. In general manufacturing, the
holes - As the aforementioned method, the present invention can supply the fresh air constantly to the surface of the pool and near the foot of the burning wick. As the inner-
tube 27 has also the chimney function, the constant updraft A5 a and/or A5 b can be achieved from the surface of the wax pool, and accordingly the performance of volatiles is dramatically increased. More specifically, according to the aforementioned fresh air supply to the foot of the burning wick, a more efficient and constant updraft can be achieved and accordingly the volatiles in the candle can be efficiently and constantly dispersed to the air. In addition, the inner-tube 27 keeps the meltingwax pool 14 warmer whil burning as an “inner-jacket” effect, and accordingly the volatiles in the wax pool can be further more efficiently and constantly dispersed to the air. - Embodiment 1:
- The present invention is manufactured by the following method, but not limited. For example, the 12 holes with 8 mm diameter are made by using the electric drill on the sidewall of the plastic inner-tube 57 mm diameter×70 mm height. The four holes are placed at the upper portion of the inner-tube every 90 degree at ca. 20 mm lower from the top edge, another 4 holes are placed at the lower portion of the inner-tube every 90 degree and 30 degree turned from the upper holes at ca. 32 mm lower from the top edge, and more 4 holes are drilled at the lowest portion of the inner-tube every 90 degree and 60 degree turned from the upper holes at ca. 52 mm lower from the top edge. The above inner-tube can be applied with an appropriate size container, for example, 75 mm diameter×70 mm height glass jar, for an appropriate pillar-type candle, for example, 50 mm diameter×50 mm height to be sit in the inside of the inner-tube.
- Embodiment 2:
- The present invention is manufactured as described in Embodiment 1 and then the aforementioned inner-tube is sit in the inside container, for example, 75 mm diameter×70 mm height glass jar, and an appropriate length of wick is set in the inside of the inner-tube followed by filling with an appropriate volume of melting candle wax either with or without volatiles, and being solidified for use.
- Embodiment 3:
- Th container of the pres nt invention is compared with traditional candle container. Two commercial scented candles in the container (closed-candle) were purchased from a local supermarket. Both candle waxes and wicks are removed from the containers and are melted. The inner-tube is set to the bottom of one of the containers and the melting wax are poured into both containers with the same formula of commercial candle. After two hours, both candles' performances are compared.
