Description

[0001] TEALIGHT CANDLE-HEATED WARMING DEVICE

[0002] Technical Field:

[0003] The invention relates to a heating device configuration that uses a tealight candle as a heat source, to be used safely in very close proximity to the user's body during prolonged sitting in cold weather, under the seat, or in very confined spaces such as tents.

[0004] Prior Art:

[0005] Various heaters powered by solid or liquid fuel or electricity are available. Electric or chemical heaters that can be carried in clothing are also sold on the market. These products are either very expensive, very heavy, very bulky, or not sufficiently safe to carry very close to the user's body.

[0006] Purpose of the Invention

[0007] The starting point of the invention (1) is the concept of hot stones heated in a fire, placed under a skirt or skirt-like blanket or cover, for people working outdoors in very cold climates or who need to sit for long periods of time. The invention can be used in on the ground outside in a confined space or tent, but also the user can also benefit from the product structed as the in vention by placing it (1) under the seat of a stool, chair, etc when used with a skirt-like garment, blanket, or cover that covers them from the legs to the ground. The advantages offered by the product structered as the invention (1) are safety, easy access to the heat source, one-handed use and low cost.

[0008] It is necessary to emphasize safety again here; the product is structured within the framework of the obligation to provide protection against user error or carelessness. To prevent the flame from escaping or coming into contact with a flammable surface as a result of excessive heat, light, or distraction, the top cover (and main body) that makes up the product is designed to close over the candle in all circumstances. This is achieved by using the center of gravity of the lid (2) and the hinge of the lid (2) to ensure that it always opens to the extent that it closes by itself. Additionally, when the product's top cover, which forms part of the body (2), is placed on an inclined surface to prevent the cover(2) from closing, it flips over toward the side with the cover's hinge, extinguishing the candle and keeping the product closed and safe.

[0009] Such a heater can also be manufactured without hinges, with screws, or with a sliding lid, etc., but safety is the main priority for such a product that will be used in very limited spaces.

[0010] The candle inside the product will not go out in winds in enclosed spaces such as tents or storage areas, or in moderate winds in open areas, but the product cannot guarantee that this situation will be 100% impossible. Another reason why such a request and description regarding the product is not mentioned in this document is that using such a heater in an environment where the wind will disperse the warm air flow is pointless. Description of the Invention

[0011] The product (1) is flat dome-shaped, fits in a pocket, and is sturdy enough not to break when stepped on, and is designed not to tip over when struck or hit. The dome shape distributes the force applied to it, regardless of which side is stepped on, to the shell (2) and then to the base. Product (1) contains a base (110) with starshaped pointed ends ( 11; 11;...) that prevents it from flying off when the user's foot strikes it and allows it to catch on uneven ground when used on natural surfaces such as stone, grass, soil, or sand. These tips (11;11;11;11) form the pointed feet (11) of the product and are at least 8 in number, ending flush with the surface. The product also includes 4 silicone feet (15; 15; 15; 15) that allow it to stand with these flush pointed feet (11;11; 11;...) approximately 1mm above the surface. These feet prevent damage to non-natural, flat but scratchable surfaces such as parquet or ceramic flooring when the product is used on them, and also prevent the product from flying off due to foot impact by adhering to such surfaces. The bases (150;150;..) of the silicone feet (15;15;..) also form the base (10) of the product. The bases of these silicone feet (15;15..) are at least lcm2 in size to prevent the product from sinking when used on soft surfaces like mud or snow.

[0012] Here, the bases of the silicone feet ( 150; 150; ..) forming the base of the product (10) is related to the durability and cost of the product.

[0013] This base (10), which also prevents sinking, can perform the sinking function by being 1mm higher than the level of the pointed feet, but in this case, the ends of the pointed feet must be made of soft material or some type of cap to avoid damaging polished floors. This is a matter related to the design and cost of this product. Additionally, these soft boots will be manufactured in a way that they can be easily removed and put on; they facilitate use by allowing individuals such as fishermen, painters, and photographers who fish on ice to step onto the ice more comfortably, grip it, and remain stable; this type of foot can also be manufactured as a single wide piece, which is a matter of preference.

[0014] The structure of the product is designed so that the flame (40) of the candle (4) cannot spread or escape outside the product (1) in any way.

[0015] The main components of the product are a lower part (3) made of heat-resistant flexible material; an upper part (2) made of rigid material attached to this (3) with a hinge (6); a heating and flame retention plate (5) attached lower part (3) with a hinge (60) located between the lower part (3) and the upper part (2), positioned above the candle (4) and canndle socket (34) in the lower part (3).

[0016] The product opens as ; after the top cover (2) is opened from its hinge axis (61), the heating cover (5) that closes the candle holder (34) also opens automatically. The candle (4) is placed in the candle holder (4), whether lit or unlit. Then, the heating plate (5) and the upper cover (2) attached to it are closed, and the product (1) is ready for use.

[0017] The candle flame (40) heats the heating plate (5), and the heated air escapes through the air holes (22) on the cover (2) and spreads throughout the room. At this point, the top cover (2) of the product (1) has also heated up and become a heat source, but due to the calories provided by the tealight candle (4) and the fact that the candle flame (40) does not come into direct contact with the body (2) , the cover (2) does not become hot enough to burn the hand.

[0018] The main distinguishing feature of the product (1) is the relationship that enhances safety between these parts. The product cannot be used without the top cover being closed; thanks to the top cover's center of gravity and maximum opening angle of 80 degrees, it always closes automatically downward. As the top cover (2) closes, it also closes the heating plate (5) to its closed position above the candle (4). The advantage of this situation is that it eliminates the possibility of accidents arising from the use of the product and subsequent legal problems. A user of a product configured in this way cannot use the product (1) and the the lid (2) without closing it, leaving the candle (4) exposed and allowing something to be ignite. This eliminates the possibility of accidents.

[0019] If the product (1) is placed on an excessively sloped surface and tips backward without the lid (2) closing, the bottom part (3) and candle (4) will always be covered by the protective cover (5) and the candle will extinguish, and the lower and upper parts will close again while the candle (4) is still inside, and the magnet (7) will secure the closed position.

[0020] Another potential hazard is that the flame (40) may spill out because the candle (4) cannot be seated in its socket (34), or the flame (40) may cause burning by touching the outer shell, even if it does not ignite it. To prevent this, the structure (340) forming the candle holder (34) in the lower part (3) should be a wall (33) with an inverted conical shape that slopes down towards the round candle holder (34) and has the thinnest possible wall thickness at its top edge. The candle placed on this wall (33) either leans towards the socket located in the center of the wall (33), or falls off the lower part and loses contact with the product (1), eliminating the possibility of an accident caused by the product itself. If the candle does not fall but remains balanced on the wall (33) with a small probability, or if it leans towards the socket (34), the heating plate and upper part that will close over the candle will ensure safety by either covering or extinguishing the candle flame. The product should be used like the candle(4) is lit after it (4) is placed in the holder (34), and this should be clearly stated in the instructions for use. The user's dropping the burning candle from his hand over from the product (1) should not be legally binding .This refers to an accident that the user may cause intentionally or unintentionally.

[0021] The lower part (3) is held in place by a magnet (7) that facilitates opening and closing when the upper part (2) is in the closed position. The magnet (7) has a counterpart (87) fixed on a foot (8) shaped on the lower part (3). The magnet (7) is fixed to the upper part (2). The magnet is attached to the upper part (2) with an intermediate piece (71) that has a thick wall, the purpose of which is to prevent the product from sticking to a metal piece that may come into contact with the product and the magnet (7) during use. This risk decreases as the distance between the magnet (7) and the product (1) and the outside of the product increases. Of course, this also depends on the strength of the magnet (7) to be used. The strength of the magnet (7) must be at least sufficient to carry the lower part (3) and the candle (4). When the product (1) is lifted by the upper part (2), the lower cover (3) should not open. The lower part (3) and the molded foot (8) on it are made of a flexible material. The reason for this is that when the product is in use, i.e., on the ground, when pressure is applied to top of it( 1), if an harder and higher object than the legs (15;15;..) is located under the lower part (3), the force applied by this object to the lower part (3) will cause the part (3) to bend and flex, preventing damage to the part (3) and the hinge (6) above it. The lower part (3) contains recesses (31) or slits (31) on its own (3) to facilitate this flexing. The base (30) of the candle holder in the lower part is higher than the base (10) of the product. This is to prevent the candle from being extinguished when the product (1) is buried in a certain amount of water, snow, or dirt.

[0022] The closest (80) point to the ground of the foot (8) according to usage formed in the lower part , is at the same the point (80) that will touch the ground when the product (1) is closed, is at the same level with the lowest surfaces ( 150; 150; 150; 150) of the feet ( 15; 15; 15..) when the product is in use. When the product is placed on the ground with the upper cover (2) open, this foot (8), which prevents the base (30) of the lower part from remaining on the ground when the upper cover tips downward, automatically closes as a result of the magnet (87) placed on its own (8) pulling the magnet (7) placed on the upper part (2).

[0023] The heating plate (5), positioned between the upper part (2) and the lower part (3), is connected to the lower part by a hinge (60). The working axis (601) of this hinge (60) is parallel to the working axis (61) of the upper cover hinge and is located further inside than this axis (61). The heating plate (5) adheres to the upper part (2) by sticking to the magnet (7) on top of the upper part. Because magnets lose their holding power when heated, the heating plate (5) contains a separate part (57) to hold the magnet; this is the heating plate magnet counterpart and actuator (57). This magnet counterpart (57), which is a flat piece, is attached to the heating plate with a heat insulation piece (571) or an insulation-providing chemical. Since the heating plate hinge (60) operates on a different axis (601) than the upper part hinge axis (61), the contact point or surface (572) on the heating plate magnet counterpart (57) must be variable. This is the advantage of using a magnet in the product (1). The product is designed to use a single magnet (7). The heating plate movement tongue, i.e., the magnet counterpart (57), contacts the magnet (7) at its farthest point when the product (1) is closed. In this state, the magnet (7) holds both the magnet counterpart (87) on the lower part and the heating plate (5). At this point, the heating plate tongue (57) is in contact with the lower part magnet counterpart (87), and the heating plate tongue (57) is positioned between this part (87) and the magnet. When the upper cover (2) is opened, the ) magnet releases the lower cover (3) but makes the heating plate (5) move with him (2).

[0024] Here, another advantage created by this product design becomes apparent. The two hinge working axes (61;601) and the two parts (2;5) that work together in connection with them do not create a fixed force triangle because the surface (572) where they (2;5) come into contact with each other is variable. The heating plate (5) does not create a support that would prevent the upper cover (2) from closing, but, depending on the strength of the magnet (7) used, it slows down the cover closing due to gravity, creating a deceleration system (725). This deceleration reduces the possibility of a rapid air flow forming, which could cause the candle flame to go out. The product incorporates an additional element that supports this slowing: a surface treatment, or a paint treatment, or a silicone-like tape application has been applied to the variable surface (572) where the heating plate (57) contacts the magnet (7), making it difficult for the magnet (7) to slide. The tongue (57) adhering to the magnet (7) with the magnet's (7) pulling force will be more difficult to slide. Since the two parts (57; 8) move simultaneously on two different axes (61; 601), the angle at which they touch each other will also change, and the contact surface (572) will change. Here, to increase this non-slip performance, in order for the contact surface area (572) of the magnet's (7) adhesion surface (75) and the flat tongue (57) to remain at a maximum, the surface where the heating plate tongue (57) is connected to the heating plate (573) and the surface (574) where the heating plate (5) is connected to the flat tongue with an intermediate piece (571) that allows the two surfaces (573; 574) to adhere to each other at a variable angle (5700).

[0025] When the cover (2) opens or closes, the magnetic surface (75) of the magnet (7) attached to the cover makes maximum contact with the heating plate tongue (57) and the non-slip surface (570), and the flexible spacer (571) absorbs the resulting angle difference. The holding surface (75) of the magnet adhering to the heating plate tongue (57) also adheres to the non-slip surface (570) squeezed between them, and this makes it difficult for the magnet holding surface (75) moving on the heating plate tongue (57) to slide on the heating plate tongue (57) when the product (1) is opened and closed. Another function of this part (571) is to minimize the transfer of heat from the heating plate (5) to the moving tongue (57). Magnets lose their performance at high temperatures.

[0026] One reason why the heating plate is not fixed to the upper part is to allow the soot generated by the candle (4) to be completely cleaned from the product (1). Ensuring that both the upper part of the heating plate (5) and the interior of the upper part (2) are completely clean prevents the buildup of odors and unpleasant appearances over time.

[0027] Another critical function of the foot (8) is that it allows the product

[0028] (1) to be used with one hand. The foot (8) has a tongue (81) that protrudes outward between the two feet (21) at the bottom of the product (1), allowing the user to open the lid (2) of the product (1) by leaning or pressing it (81) against any surface while holding the product (1) with one hand. The user opens the lid (2) by pressing the tongue (81) against a fixed point, which is the easiest one at the time of use, such as the inside of one of their legs. While the product's tongue (81) propped against the inner leg, the lid (2) and heating plate (5) are held open by the user pressing down on the hinge area (261) of the lid (2) which is on the opposite side of the tongue (8) in the top wiew, with the other leg, i.e., while holding it (1) open between the legs, the user is able to change and light the candle (4) with one hand.. The ability to bend the foot (8) also allows the magnetic counterpart (87) to be easily removed from the magnet (7). The strength of the neodymium magnet (7) to be decided upon in production, if it is too high due to safety concerns, will make the lid

[0029] (2) difficult to open even with two hands, but it can be easily opened by holding the foot's tongue (81) or sliding it against a surface.

[0030] Here, the product includes an additional clip system to make opening and closing safer. For this purpose, a clip , a claw slot (870) shaped on the foot (8), and the male clip, the tongue (270) that enters this slot is formed on the upper part (2). Here, the male part (270) also is formed on the insulation part (71) that also holds the magnet , but this is not a requirement. . The important point regarding these parts (270;870) is that when we open the lower part (3) by detaching the magnet (7) from the tongue (81), at the same time, the male clip (270) is also released from its slot, the claw (870).

[0031] As described herein, the various aspects and configurations of the invention (1) are described in detail. Each feature and configuration described in this manner may be combined with any other aspect or configuration unless otherwise explicitly stated.

CLAIMS1) The invention (1) consists on a product configuration form of a heating device using as a heat source (4) known as a tealight candle, not spraying flames around it, not burning or igniting objects touching its (l)outer shell , being sturdy enough not to break when pressure is applied to it, and being used on a horizontal surface on its (l)own base , occupying an area of no more than 300 cm2on the plan view depending on its usage, and having a maximum height of 9 cm when in use in the closed position , and having an upper part (2) that having attached to it (2) by a hinge (6) a lower part (3) with the heating candle (4) also positioned in a chamber(34) within its own (3), having between these two parts (2;3) a heating and flame retention part (5) that is positioned on top of the candle (4) and its wick (41), is characterized in that the upper part (2) has a pyramidal, dome-like structure that slopes downwards towards the sides, ending at least as 5 tapering legs that leaving air passage gaps (22;22;22;22...) between them (11;11;11;11...) which also form the base and legs of the heater (1); in that the hinge (6) connecting the upper part (2) to the lower part (3) has a part (26) on the upper part (2) containing a striking surface (260) that allows the hinge (6) to open to a maximum of 85 degrees by striking the support piece (360) contained in the other part (36) of the hinge (6) on the lower part (3); in that the upper part (2) which can open to a maximum of 85 degrees closes automatically if there is no other force holding it (2) .2) A heater (1) configured as in Claim 1, characterized in that the lower part(3) comprises a tongue (8) with the ability to flexprotruiting outward from the upper part (2) when viewed from top view, allowing the product to be opened and to be closed with one hand, and in that this tongue (8) includes a clip slot (870), and the upper part (2) includes a tongue (270) that closes the product by entering in this clip slot (870) when it (2) is closing.3) A heater (1) configured as in Claim 1, characterized in that the heating and flame retention part (5) is also connected to the lower part (5) by a hinge (60) ; in that the upper part (2) contains a magnet (5) that holds on a variable holding surface (572) the heating sheet and heating sheet holder connected to heating sheet(57) by a heat insulation part (571) , in that it (1) possess a construction that slows down the tilting of the upper body (2) downward and reduces the possibility of an air flow that could extinguish the candle flame, by creating a variable power triangle with two different hinges operating on two different axes (601; 61) connected to each other (2;5) on a variable surface (572), in that the lower part (3) contains a magnetic counterpart (87), the magnet (5) both moves the heating plate with the upper body and pulls the lower body (3) while the upper body (2) closes, bringing the heater into a closed operating state.4) It is a heater configured as in Claim 2 or 3, its feauture is characterized in that the flexible opening / closing tongue (8) contains a magnetic counterpart (87) that enables itself (8) to adhere to the magnet (5) on the upper cover; in that the tongue (8) enables the heater to open by both opening the male clip (270) and detaching the magnet (5) from the counter part when it(8) is bent.5) A heater configured as in Claim 1, characterized in that the upper part (2) has a weight balance that prevents the upper part (2) from being used in open position when heater is placed on an inclined surface; that facilitates its(2) own tilting toward the hinge (2) side when the cover is to be used fully open on a surface inclined toward the hinge (6) side that causes the burning candle (4) to be tilted to the flame guard and be extinguished.6) A heater configured as in Claim 1 characterized in that the lower part (3) is manufactured from a material with a yield strength of at most 230 GPa to make it (3) bend and difficult to break and it (3) contains the slits (31; 31; 31..) that facilitate bending if the product (1) is placed on an uneven, rocky surface or if the product (1) is put on a hard object higher than the distance (1000) between of the product's base (1100) below the lower part (3) and the base of the lower part (30) and being stepped in this state.7) A heater as in Claim 1, its feauture is characterized in that the candle holder (34) comprises a structure (340) that facilitating the placement of the candle (4) into the holder (34) by sliding the candle (4) towards the center shaped by being surrounded by a wall (33) shaped in an inverted conical form towards the circular center of the candle holder (34); in that the upper part (3) has no other surface out this structure(340) on which the candle (4) can be placed and remain balanced , nor has other surface the candle (4) can be placed on when in use.8) It is a heater shaped like Claim 3, characterized in that the magnet (7) is held in place by a non-magnetic spacer (71) positioned so as to leave a distance of at least 3 mm between the magnet (7) and the outer wall of the body (2) thereby making it difficult for magnetic materials to adhere to the product (1 or 2).9) A heater configured as in Claim 1, characterized in that it (1) contains at least 1 shoe or shoe set mounted on tapered feet (11;11;11...) made of a non-metallic material with a yield strength of at most 100 GPa, with a total base area (10) of at least 6 cm2 making it difficult for the heater to sink into snow or mud , allowing it (1) to adhere to polished or shiny surfaces and preventing the tapered feet (11 ;11 ;11...) from damaging the floor by keeping the feet (11 ;11 ;11...) at least 1 mm above the ground.
