Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to candles. Background Technology

[0002] A candle is an everyday lighting tool. Candles are primarily made of paraffin wax and are generally flat-bottomed and cylindrical with a wick in the center. The wick is usually made of cotton thread. When used, the wick exposed at the top of the candle is lit. The heat released by the burning wick melts the solid paraffin wax, which then vaporizes, producing paraffin vapor. This vapor is then ignited to form a relatively stable flame. Current candle designs are relatively simple, mostly cylindrical. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a candle with an attractive design.

[0004] A candle includes a candle body primarily composed of paraffin wax and a wick, the upper end of which protrudes from the top of the candle body, with the remainder embedded within the candle body. The candle body includes a cylindrical section and multiple protruding ridges extending from the cylindrical section downwards and outwards, with the remainder of the wick embedded within the cylindrical section.

[0005] Because the candle wick consists of a cylindrical body and multiple protruding ridges extending outwards from it, it has an aesthetically pleasing design. When the candle burns, the top has a flame in the center and the outer edges unfold like petals, making it a delightful sight.

[0006] In one embodiment, the column is a straight column, and the multiple protruding ridges are rotationally symmetrical about the column as an axis of symmetry. The mold structure for making this type of candle is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.

[0007] In one embodiment, the column is a straight column, and on any cross-section of the candle, the multiple protruding ridges are rotationally symmetrical about the column as a center of symmetry. This type of candle has a simple and easy-to-implement mold structure, low cost, and an attractive appearance.

[0008] In one embodiment, the candle further includes a base primarily composed of paraffin wax, with the column extending upwards from the surface of the base. The base facilitates the securing of the candle.

[0009] In one embodiment, the base is a regularly shaped column with its center of gravity located on its central axis; the column extends along a curve from bottom to top, and the center of gravity of the candle body and wick as a whole is also located on the central axis. This structure makes the candle more varied and aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

[0010] In one embodiment, the convex ridge is rotationally symmetrical about the column as the center of symmetry on any cross-section of the candle. This type of candle has a simple and easy-to-implement mold structure, low cost, and an attractive appearance.

[0011] In one implementation, the maximum width of the base is greater than the width of the column.

[0012] In one embodiment, the base has a polygonal cross-section. This facilitates the detachable fixing of the candle to the candlestick.

[0013] In one implementation, the outer edge of each ridge is curved. Thus, as the candle burns, the size of the flame and the flower-like pattern at the top of the candle change over time, making it more visually appealing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the candle body is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom, with adjacent layers being different colors. Thus, as the candle burns, the color of the flower-like pattern at the top of the candle body changes over time, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

[0015] The candle wick of this invention includes a cylindrical body and multiple protruding ridges extending outward from the cylindrical body, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing design. When the candle burns, the top has a flame in the center, and the outer perimeter unfolds in a petal-like pattern, making it visually appealing. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in Embodiment 1, the candle 10 of this utility model mainly includes a candle body 11 and a wick 12. The candle body 11 is mainly composed of paraffin wax and includes a column 111 and multiple protruding ribs 112 extending outward from the column 111. Each protruding rib 112 also extends downward from one end of the column 111 to the other on the outer surface of the column 111.

[0025] The upper end of the wick 12 protrudes from the top of the column 111 of the candle body 11, while the rest is embedded in the column 111.

[0026] In this embodiment, the column 111 is straight and hexagonal. Six convex ridges 112 extend substantially perpendicularly from the hexagonal sides of the column 111, rotating symmetrically about the column 111 as an axis of symmetry. This also ensures that on any cross-section of the candle, the convex ridges 112 are rotating symmetrical about the column 111 as a center of symmetry. Thus, when viewed from the top of the candle body 11, the candle appears as a flower-like radiating shape. As the candle burns, an arc-shaped indentation forms at the top. When viewed from the side, the outer edges of the convex ridges 112 are higher than the inner edges, with an arc-shaped transition in the middle, creating an overall flower-like appearance with excellent aesthetic value.

[0027] In addition, the candle 10 also includes a base 13 whose main component is paraffin wax, with a column 111 extending upward from the upper surface of the base 13. The base 13 is preferably a regularly shaped column with its center of gravity located on its central axis. In this embodiment, the base 13 has a hexagonal cross-section, and its maximum width is greater than the maximum width of the column 111. The hexagonal column base 13 can be easily fixed to a candlestick with hexagonal slots, making the candle more stable during use.

[0028] Furthermore, the dimensions of the protruding ridges 112 extending outward from the outer surface of the column 111 gradually change from top to bottom; that is, the outer edge of each protruding ridge 112 is curved (relative to the surface of the column). In this embodiment, when viewed from the front of the candle 10, the outer edge curve of the protruding ridges 112 is an arc shape that tapers upwards and downwards and expands outwards in the middle. Therefore, during the life of the candle's burning, the flame grows from small to large and then from large to small.

[0029] In Embodiment 1, when viewed from above the candle 10, the thickness of the raised ridge 112 is uniform. It can be understood that in a variation of Embodiment 1, the thickness of the raised ridge 112 may gradually increase from the outside to the inside, or it may be thicker in the middle and thinner at both sides, more closely resembling a petal shape.

[0030] In Embodiment 1, the column 111 is a straight column. It can be understood that in a variation of Embodiment 1, the column may extend along a curve from bottom to top, in which case the center of gravity of the candle body and wick should be located on the central axis of the base. Thus, with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, the candle can stand stably on a plane when vertical. Preferably, in this case, the convex ridge is rotationally symmetrical about the column as its center of symmetry on any cross-section of the candle.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the candle 20 of Embodiment 2 is basically the same in shape and structure as the candle 10 of Embodiment 1. The difference between the two is that the candle body 21 is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom (the dividing line between adjacent layers is marked as 211), and the adjacent layers are different colors.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the candle 30 of Embodiment 3 is similar in shape and structure to the candle 10 of Embodiment 1, including a candle body 31 and a wick 32. The candle body 31 is mainly composed of paraffin wax, including a column 311 and multiple protruding ribs 312 extending outwards from the column 311. Each protruding rib 312 extends downwards from one end of the column 311 to the other on its outer surface. In Embodiment 3, the path of the protruding rib 312 extending downwards along the surface of the column 311 is a curve, thus the protruding rib 312 is in a spiral rotation state. The upper end of the wick 32 protrudes from the top of the column 311 of the candle body 31, while the remaining part is embedded within the column 311.

[0035] In this embodiment, the column 311 is straight and has a quadrilateral column shape. Four protruding ridges 312 extend outward from the four corners of the column 311, and are rotationally symmetrical about the column 311 as the axis of symmetry. At the same time, on any cross-section of the candle, the multiple protruding ridges 312 are rotationally symmetrical about the column 311 as the center of symmetry.

[0036] The candle 30 also includes a base 33 primarily composed of paraffin wax, with a column 311 extending upwards from the upper surface of the base 33. The base 33 is preferably a regularly shaped column with its center of gravity located on its central axis. In this embodiment, the base 33 has a quadrilateral cross-section, and its maximum width is greater than the maximum width of the column 311. The quadrilateral column base 33 can be easily fixed to a candlestick with quadrilateral slots, making the candle more stable during use.

[0037] Furthermore, the dimensions of the protruding ridges 312 extending outward from the outer surface of the column 311 gradually change from top to bottom; that is, the outer edge of each protruding ridge 312 is curved (relative to the surface of the column). In this embodiment, when viewed from the front of the candle 30, the outer edge curve of the protruding ridges 312 is an arc shape that tapers upwards and downwards and expands outwards in the middle. Therefore, during the life of the candle's burning, the flame grows from small to large and then from large to small.

[0038] In Embodiment 3, when viewed from above the candle 30, the thickness of the ridge 312 is uniform. It can be understood that in a variation of Embodiment 3, the thickness of the ridge 312 may gradually increase from the outside to the inside, or it may be thicker in the middle and thinner at the sides, more closely resembling a petal shape.

[0039] In Embodiment 3, the column 311 is a straight column. It can be understood that, in a variation of Embodiment 3, the column may extend along a curve from bottom to top, in which case the center of gravity of the candle body and wick should be located on the central axis of the base. Thus, with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, the candle can stand stably on a plane when vertical. Preferably, in this case, the convex ridge is rotationally symmetrical about the column as its center of symmetry on any cross-section of the candle.

[0040] Example 4:

[0041] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the candle 40 of Embodiment 4 is basically the same in shape and structure as the candle 30 of Embodiment 3. The difference between the two is that the candle body 41 is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom (the dividing line between adjacent layers is marked as 411), and the adjacent layers are different colors.
