Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1792971A1] The candle includes wick area, which exhibits wick holder insert (51) with a fixation area for the wick (26) and with spacing region (53) for maintaining predetermined spacing to a base (9) of the candle, and a candle holding device exhibiting a retaining drift. The spacing region is formed with a cavity opened to the candle base. The retaining drift is introduced into the cavity, which is filled with a wax. The spacing region exhibits an area propagating towards the candle base. The wick holder insert is formed as a casing, which radially encloses the wick in longitudinal direction. The candle includes wick area, which exhibits wick holder insert (51) with a fixation area for the wick (26) and with spacing region (53) for maintaining predetermined spacing to a base (9) of the candle, and a candle holding device exhibiting a retaining drift. The spacing region is formed with a cavity opened to the candle base. The retaining drift is introduced into the cavity, which is filled with a wax. The spacing region exhibits an area propagating towards the candle base. The wick holder insert is formed as a casing, which radially encloses the wick in longitudinal direction. The wick holder insert is made of tinned copper formed in the fixation area and is made of plastic formed in the spacing region. The heat resistant material of the wick holder insert has specific heat conductivity of 0.2 W/km. The candle is provided with the base, ring-shaped recess, whose geometry corresponds with a sidewall of a holding device and which is formed in such a way that the candle is held in tilt-proof manner under the use conditions and a liquefied candle material (29) is held back by the holding device. The recess for using the wick, the wick holder insert and the sidewall, is pressed or cast or dipped. A surface coating is applied on the candle body by dipping process. The candle body is dipped with the recess/the recesses, and the recess/recesses brought into the candle body before the dipping process, is dimensioned in such a manner that the width of the recess/recesses results by the surface coating. Independent claims are included for: (1) a manufacturing process of a candle; and (2) a combination from a candle and a holder.
