Each candle was lit concurrently and a timer activated at time of lighting. The melt pool was measured in 5 minute increments until the melt pool spilled its contents. It is well known in the art that fast melt pool formation is directly related to the amount of volatile or semi-volatile fragrance emanated by a candle.
- Results show that in five and ten minutes the candle of the present invention forms a melt pool greater than twice the diameter of the prior art candle and at fifteen minutes greater than 1.5 times.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a scented candle and more particularly to a scented candle which provides for a rapid release of the fragrance after the candle is lit.
- Most scented candles emit fragrance readily from the melt pool created when the candle wick is lit. The time for delivery of the fragrance is directly proportional to the time it takes for the melt pool to form, surface area of the melt pool and the temperature of the melt pool.
- Some scented candles that rapidly release fragrances that are known in the art use a heat conductive device to melt the solid fuel element. Such additional heat conductive elements take away from the decorative nature of the candle. Moreover, such heat conductive elements do not produce a melt pool surface in a short time period because the conductive element transfers heat to the bottom of the candle containers rather than where the wick is burning and therefore do not produce fast fragrance delivery.
- It is therefore a principal object of the present invention to provide a scented candle using traditional candle making materials that rapidly releases fragrance.
- A scented candle is provided which includes a dual braided wick in a candle mass. The candle mass is positioned on an inwardly sloping platform and such platform is snugly fit into a noncombustible container. A wick clip with louvers that secures and centers the wick in the candle mass allows maximum fuel flow to the wick during use to ensure full consumption of the melted candle mass.
- These and other features and objects of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description which should be read in light of the accompanying drawing in which corresponding reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views.

candle mass 12 may be formed using existing processes known in the art, such as, liquid pouring and molding, wax bead compression, and wax bead extrusion. A preferred embodiment of the present invention uses wax bead compression by means of a rotary press. In this preferred embodiment, thecandle mass 12 is manufactured by mixing together the materials listed in Table 1 above. These materials are mixed and melted into a homogenous liquid state creating a molten “blend”. A molten blend is then sprayed into the air via nozzles with an orifice of 0.35 mm or 0.4 mm onto a rotating cold drum where small spheres (approximately 0.25 mm-1.25 mm in diameter) are formed. The small spheres are scraped off the cold drum into a vibrating pan and collected at a point of vacuum. The vacuum delivers small spheres into a candle pressing molding machine, such as the machine sold by Herrhammer, GmbH under Model No. STFM-1/450/3. The small spheres are compressed under pressure around a pin to form a compressed solid wax blend with a centered channel for subsequent wick insertion. Awick 14 is then inserted into the compressed solid wax blend and attached to a wick clip 30 (FIG. 6 ) by inserting thewick 14 through thewick barrel 34 using a standard process called wick pinning - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thecandle 10 also includes aplatform 20 that is sized to fit snugly in abase 26. Thecandle mass 12 is positioned on theplatform 20 when thecandle 10 is in use. Theplatform 20 has a concave shape that inwardly slopes to acircular center depression 22 where thecandle mass 12 centrally sits. The platform may be any of the following materials: prime tinplate, aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, glass, ceramics, or any other non-combustible material suited to forming. It is preferred that the platform be locked into thebase 26 so that the bottom of theplatform 20 is not be less than 32 mm from the bottom of thebase 26. - The primary function of the
base 26 is to hold theplatform 20. Thebase 26 can also be designed of a variety of shapes and colors for decorative purposes. Thebase 26 may be comprised of any non-combustible material as long as it secures theplatform 20 at least 32 mm from the bottom of thebase 26. - The
wick 14 is a critical component of the invention as it supports combustion and spreads the heat in both horizontal and vertical directions. It is the horizontal heat flow that is conducive to fast formation of the surface melt pool. Horizontal heat flow is obtained by the dual-wick design of thewick 14 that is most clearly shown inFIG. 2 . During burning the dual-wick 14 unwinds and opens up causing the flame geometry to shift from a narrow-based flame to a broad-based flame. The result of this flame geometry shift yields greater heat flow onto thecandle mass 12, subsequently quickly melting thesolid candle mass 12 forming an active melt pool, thus, quickly releasing the scent. In many preferred embodiments the width of the flame achieved by using the dual braidedwick 14 is twice as wide as the flame produced by atraditional wick 13 shown inFIG. 1 . The dual-braid wick 14 used in this invention can be sourced as the Helix series of wicks from the supplier Atkins and Pearce at One Braid Way, Covington, Ky. 41017, U.S.A. - It should be noted that another critical aspect of surface melt pool time-to-formation is a function of the candle mass' melting point. Therefore, it is important that these two critical parameters be in balance to produce the safest and most optimal end-use product.
- Referring to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , thewick clip 30 is a device that holds thewick 14 in place within thecandle mass 12. The present invention uses a modifiedwick clip 30 specifically designed to allow liquid wax to flow through two vertical channels orlouvers 32 positioned 180 degrees apart, in an effort to support combustion and for complete fuel consumption. Barrel height of the wick clip and the barrel height to louver, both relative to the candle mass height, is another important aspect of the current invention. It is preferred that the barrel height not exceed 12 mm in length, and more preferably not exceed 7 mm in length. Barrel height dictates the flames position relative to the melted wax mass. A longer barrel height positions the flame too far from the melted candle mass resulting in loss of effective heating, thereby causing product failure. Shorter barrel heights position the flame too close to the melted candle mass causing excessive heat and uneven fragrance liberation. It is also important that theslats 33 oflouvers 32 extend parallel to thebarrel 34 from thewick clip base 36 to about 0.50 mm from the top of thebarrel 34. Shorter louvers cause relight failures. Longer louvers compromise the barrel's integrity causing collapse of thebarrel 34 during wick pinning Another important function of thelouvers 32 is the locking of the wick clip into the candle mass. Theslats 33 oflouvers 32 extend about 0.0250″ from the barrel's surface. This extension provides a gripping surface keeping thewick clip 30 locked into the candle mass. Thebase 36 of thewick clip 30 may be of any suitable geometry or diameter as long as a minimum wick base surface area of 200 mm2 is met. - A
candle 10 of the present invention was compared for surface time-to-melt pool diameter formation to a prior art candle (a S.C. Johnson Glade Scented Oil Candle) using a single braid wick and a wick clip without louvers. Thecandle mass 12 of the present invention contained the ingredients listed in Table 1. Both candles were placed 12″ apart on a non-combustible surface and in an 8′×12′ room with standard HVAC and an ambient temperature of 75° F. Each candle was lit concurrently and a timer activated at time of lighting. The melt pool was measured in 5 minute increments until the melt pool spilled its contents. It is well known in the art that fast melt pool formation is directly related to the amount of volatile or semi-volatile fragrance emanated by a candle. Results show that in five and ten minutes the candle of the present invention forms a melt pool greater than twice the diameter of the prior art candle and at fifteen minutes greater than 1.5 times. After fifteen minutes the current invention's candle mass spilled its liquid contents into the platform where it subsequently fully liquefied and consumed.
