Fuel oil for lamps

Description

[0001] The invention refers to a mineral oil for oil lamps, with an eminent ecological effect, which burns without leaving solid residues and de­velops a strong smoke-eating action. By using this oil with a glass-­wool wick, which while burning is not used up, the lamp can be used without interventions for servicing and reinstatements.

[0002] In the present oil lamps, vegetal oils are used as fuel, and particu­larly olive oil. As a consequence, because of the solid residues of this fuel, the steady wick clogging occurs in its supporting means, which requires interventions for regulations and servicing. Further­more, this type highly pollutes the surrounding because of the di­scharge on the walls and furniture as well as of volatile materials which shed smells in the surrounding. All these inconveniences are obiated by the invention fuel which enables to use an oil lamp with ecological effects to use without being forced to resort to servic­ing and adjusting interventions to the wick. A new conception light­ing thus results which, at the origins, does not require use limita­tions.

[0003] According to the invention, the oil consists of a paraffin hydro-­ carburet with C₁₃ H₂₈ basic composition. This oil burns without leav­ing solid residues and gives rise to a strong "smoke-eating" action which purifies the surrounding. The invention use to foresee has as variant forms to take into consideration within the paraffinical hy­drocarburets (normal as well as iso), the further combinations: C₁₁H₂₄, C₁₂H₂₆, C₁₄H₃₀ and C₁₅H₃₂. For carrying out the above pro­duct, the composition C12 CH₃- (CH₂)₁₀ -CH₃ furthermore taken in­to consideration only as base composition with the normalparaffines.

[0004] The use of the version which can be foreseen has as variable ones to take into consideration, among the normalparaffinical hydrocar­burets, the following formulations: C11 CH₃ -(CH₂)₉ -CH₃, C13 CH₃ -(CH₂)₁₁ -CH₃, C14 CH₃ -(CH₂)₁₂ -CH₃ e C15 CH₃ -(CH₂)₁₃ -CH₃.

[0005] When carrying out the invention, the use of lamps with glass wool wicks is foreseen to avoid any residue formation: the efficiency of the lamp is in this way ensured during the time without requiring interventions for adjustments and servicing.

[0006] In addition, since this fuel shows a neutral colour, its coloration is allowed according to the use requirements. This turns out parti­cularly useful for lamps with tank in transparent material since the­re is the possibility of generating particular chromatic effects.

[0007] As the fuel is scentless, its aromatization is furthermore possible thus permitting to perfume the surroundings. By adding a natural la­vender essence to the said fuel, a repellent effect can be obtained to insects, thus operating as a prevention means against them.

[0008] In the different realizations, the above fuel can be obtained in dif­ferent combinations and integrated in the formulations and components, with possible addition of other substances, or anything else which might be specifically required in this connection.

Claims

1) Fuel oil for lamps, characterized by the fact that it consists of a paraffinic hydrocarburet with C₁₃H₂₈ basi composition. The said oil burns without leaving residues and gives rise to a strong anti-­smoke action which operates as a surroundings depurating means.

2) Fuel oil for lamps, characterized by the fact that beside the ba­se composition foreseen in claim 1), the composition C12 CH₃ -(CH₂)₁₀ -CH₃ can be considered as a version of a possible execution, only as a ba­se composition within the range of the normalparaffines.

3) Fuel oil for lamps, as per claims 1) and 2), characterized by the fact that in the execution of oil lamps, the use of a glass wool wick is foreseen in order to avoid any residue formation. This ensures a good and steady operation of the lamp in the time, without the neces­sity of interventions for adjustments or servicing.

4) Fuel oil for lamps as per claims 1 and 2) characterized by the fact that since it is of neutral colour, it allows to be differently coloured according to the use ends. This turns out to be particular­ly useful in the lamps with transparent tank since there is the possi­bility of creating particular chromatic effects.

5) Fuel oil for lamps, as per claims 1) and 2), characterized by the fact that it is scentless and so it can be aromatized in order to perfume the surroundings.

6) Fuel oil for lamps, as per claims 1) and 2, characterized by the fact that a natural essence can be added to the lavender which opera­tes in the surroundings with a repellent effect against insects.
