Description
Procédé de confection de bougies d'éclairage, et bougies confectionnées selon ce procédé.Method for making lighting candles, and candles made using this method.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de confection de bougies d'éclairage telles que, de manière plus particulièrement intéressante, les bougies d'ornement présentant un caractère décoratif en raison de leurs coloris, de leur forme, de la forme de leur contenant, ou d'inclusions diverses. Elle vise également les bougies obtenues par la mise en œuvre de ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method of making lighting candles such as, more particularly advantageously, ornamental candles having a decorative character due to their colors, their shape, the shape of their container, or d '' various inclusions. It also targets the candles obtained by the implementation of this process.
Jusqu'à ces dernières années, les bougies d'éclairage étaient exclusivement fabriquées à l'aide de cire d'abeilles, ou de paraffine, ou de stéarine, ou de mélanges de ces substances. Dans le domaine artisanal de la bougie décorative ou bougie d'ornement, trois méthodes de fabrication sont couramment mises en œuvre par les fabricants ou les acheteurs de kits de confection de bougies :Until recent years, lighting candles were exclusively made using beeswax, or paraffin, or stearin, or mixtures of these substances. In the artisanal field of decorative candles or decorative candles, three manufacturing methods are commonly used by manufacturers or buyers of candle-making kits:
par fusion de la matière éclairante dans un récipient et versement de la matière liquide résultant de cette fusion dans un contenant ou dans un moule au centre duquel est placée et maintenue verticalement une mèche ;by melting the illuminating material in a container and pouring the liquid material resulting from this melting into a container or into a mold in the center of which a wick is placed and held vertically;
par trempages successifs de la mèche dans la substance éclairante liquide préalablement mise à fondre au bain-marie ;by successive dipping of the wick in the liquid illuminating substance previously melted in a water bath;
par enroulement d'une feuille de cire gaufrée autour d'une mèche.by wrapping a sheet of embossed wax around a wick.
Les deux premières méthodes nécessitent la fusion de la substance éclairante (cire d'abeilles, paraffine ou stéarine), ce qui implique la possibilité de renversement accidentel du récipient contenant la matière fondue à l'état liquide et, par conséquent, des risques de brûlures graves.The first two methods require the melting of the illuminating substance (beeswax, paraffin or stearin), which implies the possibility of accidental overturning of the container containing the molten material in the liquid state and, consequently, the risk of burns. serious.
La troisième méthode a pour inconvénient de ne permettre de réaliser que des bougies d'aspect uniforme et ne se prête donc pas à la confection de bougies d'ornement avec une grande variété de coloris et de formes.The third method has the disadvantage of only making candles of uniform appearance and therefore does not lend itself to making ornamental candles with a wide variety of colors and shapes.
Récemment, sont apparues sur le marché de nouvelles matières éclairantes pour fabriquer des bougies. Ces matières éclairantes présentant une consistance gélatineuse, sont constituées d'un assemblage de matières pétrolières nobles, d'huiles solidifiées et de polymères.Recently, new illuminants have appeared on the market for making candles. These illuminating materials having a gelatinous consistency, consist of an assembly of noble petroleum materials, solidified oils and polymers.
Elles se liquéfient par chauffage, sont initialement transparentes et peuvent être rendues translucides ; elles se colorent et se parfument facilement par adjonction de pigments de couleurs ou d'huiles essentielles, respectivement.They liquefy on heating, are initially transparent and can be made translucent; they are easily colored and perfumed by the addition of color pigments or essential oils, respectively.
Les bougies fabriquées à l'aide de ces nouvelles matières éclairantes présentent l'avantage de se consumer deux à trois fois moins vite que les bougies à base de cire d'abeilles, ou de paraffine ou de stéarine, ou de mélanges de ces matières.Candles made using these new illuminating materials have the advantage of burning two to three times less quickly than candles based on beeswax, or paraffin or stearin, or mixtures of these materials.
Par exemple :For example :
- dans le document WO 97/08282 A sont décrites des bougies en gel transparent renfermant une huile hydrocarbure, une mèche et un ou plusieurs copolymères à trois blocs, à bloc radial ou à plusieurs blocs d'un caoutchouc thermoplastique et, facultativement, un copolymère à deux blocs.- In document WO 97/08282 A are described candles in transparent gel containing a hydrocarbon oil, a wick and one or more copolymers with three blocks, with radial block or with several blocks of a thermoplastic rubber and, optionally, a copolymer two blocks.
- dans le document EP 0 685 554 A sont décrites des bougies solides comprenant une composition comportant au moins une huile et une composition de gélatinisation consistant en au moins un agent de gêlatinisation ayant 15 ou plus atomes de carbone, choisi dans le groupe des acides gras et des dérivés d'acide gras en concentration comprise entre 0,3 et 50 % en poids, suffisante pour gélatiniser l'huile au moins présente.- in document EP 0 685 554 A are described solid candles comprising a composition comprising at least one oil and a gelatinization composition consisting of at least one gelatinization agent having 15 or more carbon atoms, chosen from the group of fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives in a concentration of between 0.3 and 50% by weight, sufficient to gelatinize the oil at least present.
- dans le document W0 96/34077 est décrite une bougie translucide composée d'un gel comprenant une huile minérale contenant des mélanges de copolymères diblocs et triblocs à base de caoutchoucs thermoplastiques synthétiques.- In document WO 96/34077 is described a translucent candle composed of a gel comprising a mineral oil containing mixtures of diblock and triblock copolymers based on synthetic thermoplastic rubbers.
Ces nouvelles substances éclairantes se présentent sous l'aspect d'un corps transparent ou translucide, de consistance gélatineuse qui, à la température ambiante est suffisamment solidifié pour se tenir seul. Cependant, il est généralement fourni dans un verre ou autre contenant transparent.These new illuminating substances appear in the form of a transparent or translucent body, of gelatinous consistency which, at room temperature is sufficiently solidified to stand alone. However, it is usually supplied in a glass or other transparent container.
La principale méthode mise en œuvre pour la fabrication artisanale de bougies d'ornement au moyen de ces nouvelles substances éclairantes correspond à la méthode de fusion utilisée pour la confection de bougies décoratives à l'aide de cire d'abeilles, paraffine ou stéarine, de sorte qu'elle présente les mêmes dangers de renversement accidentel de la matière fondue lorsque celle-ci se trouve à l'état liquide.The main method used for the artisanal manufacture of ornamental candles using these new lighting substances corresponds to the melting method used for making decorative candles using beeswax, paraffin or stearin, so that it presents the same dangers of accidental spillage of the molten material when it is liquid state.
L'invention a notamment pour but de proposer un nouveau procédé de confection artisanale de bougies ornementales ou autres, exempt des inconvénients susmentionnés, au moyen d'une matière éclairante de consistance gélatineuse, transparente ou translucide, colorée ou non, dans un coloris unique ou en couches multicolores.The object of the invention is in particular to propose a new artisanal method of making ornamental or other candles, free from the abovementioned drawbacks, by means of an illuminating material of gelatinous consistency, transparent or translucent, colored or not, in a single color or in multicolored layers.
Selon l'invention, cet objectif est atteint en découpant la matière éclairante de consistance gélatineuse, ou gel réversible, en petits morceaux avec lesquels on garnit un contenant ou récipient ouvert à sa partie supérieure, tel qu'un verre ou autre dans lequel est placée une mèche, de préférence au centre dudit verre ou contenant et dans une position verticale ou approximativement verticale, et, lorsque la couche de matière éclairante fragmentée atteint le niveau souhaité, c'est-à-dire, en général, lorsque le verre ou contenant est rempli, en laissant émerger l'extrémité supérieure de la mèche, on allume cette dernière de sorte que le rayonnement thermique de la flamme provoque le ramollissement et la fusion des petits morceaux de matière gélatineuse dont le passage à l'état semi-liquide permet de reconstituer une masse homogène qui, après extinction de la mèche et refroidissement, retrouve son état gélifié initial.According to the invention, this objective is achieved by cutting the illuminating material of gelatinous consistency, or reversible gel, into small pieces with which a container or receptacle open at its upper part is filled, such as a glass or the like in which is placed. a wick, preferably in the center of said glass or container and in a vertical or approximately vertical position, and, when the layer of fragmented illuminating material reaches the desired level, that is to say, in general, when the glass or container is filled, leaving the upper end of the wick to emerge, the latter is lit so that the thermal radiation of the flame causes the small pieces of gelatinous material to soften and melt, the passage of which in the semi-liquid state allows to reconstitute a homogeneous mass which, after extinction of the wick and cooling, finds its initial gelled state.
On comprend que la mise en œuvre de ce procédé n'implique aucune manipulation de produit liquide brûlant, de sorte que la confection des bougies ne présente aucun risque de brûlure.It is understood that the implementation of this process does not involve any manipulation of burning liquid product, so that the making of candles presents no risk of burns.
La substance éclairante de consistance gélatineuse ou gel réversible utilisable pour la mise en œuvre de ce procédé est constituée, de préférence, par un assemblage connu de matières pétrolières nobles, d'huile solidifiées et de polymères. Elle peut être constituée par l'une des matières décrites dans les trois documents susmentionnés.The illuminating substance of gelatinous consistency or reversible gel which can be used for the implementation of this process preferably consists of a known assembly of noble petroleum materials, solidified oil and polymers. It can be made up of one of the materials described in the three documents mentioned above.
Pour la mise en œuvre du procédé de l'invention, il est intéressant de découper des morceaux de dimensions les plus réduites possible. En pratique, la taille maximum d'un morceau découpé ne devrait pas excéder la taille d'un cube de 25 mm de côté, ou, par exemple, la taille d'un morceau de sucre N° 4.For the implementation of the method of the invention, it is advantageous to cut pieces of the smallest possible dimensions. In practice, the maximum size of a cut-out piece should not exceed the size of a 25 mm cube side, or, for example, the size of a piece of No.4 sugar.
Le contenant ou récipient dans lequel sont empilés les morceaux découpés, peut être exécuté en verre transparent ou translucide, ou en tout autre matériau présentant une température de fusion très largement supérieur à la température de fusion de la matière éclairante destinée à constituer la bougie elle-même, tel que, par exemple, une matière plastique rigide et transparente répondant à cette condition ; autrement dit, le contenant ne doit pas être exécuté dans un matériau à faible point de fusion.The container or receptacle in which the cut pieces are stacked can be made of transparent or translucent glass, or any other material having a melting temperature very much higher than the melting temperature of the lighting material intended to constitute the candle itself. even, such as, for example, a rigid and transparent plastic material meeting this condition; that is, the container should not be made of a material with a low melting point.
Des petits objets décoratifs peuvent être placés parmi les morceaux découpés et empilés de matière éclairante gélatineuse, de sorte qu'après fusion et gélification, ces objets se trouvent noyés dans la masse gélifiée ; toutefois, ces inclusions doivent être réalisées dans un matériau présentant une température de fusion beaucoup plus élevée que celle de la matière éclairante (par exemple : verres colorés, bronze, cuivre, fer, etc.).Small decorative objects can be placed among the cut and stacked pieces of gelatinous illuminating material, so that after fusion and gelling, these objects are embedded in the gelled mass; however, these inclusions must be carried out in a material having a much higher melting temperature than that of the illuminating material (for example: colored glasses, bronze, copper, iron, etc.).
Les mèches utilisées pour la mise en œuvre de l'invention peuvent être des mèches classiques en coton tressé, armées ou non d'un fil d'étain, cirées ou non ; elles peuvent être pré-imprégnées d'une substance identique à celle qui constitue la matière éclairante. The wicks used for the implementation of the invention can be conventional wicks in braided cotton, armed or not with a tin wire, waxed or not; they can be pre-impregnated with a substance identical to that which constitutes the illuminating material.
