System And Method For Manufacturing A Candle With Wax Beads And Solid Wax Topping
US Patent:
2012013, Jun 7, 2012
Filed:
Dec 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/311143
Inventors:
John E. Cagle - Greenfield MA, US

Assignee:
The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. - So. Deerfield MA
International Classification:
C11C 5/02, B65B 1/24, B65B 1/22, B65B 55/22
US Classification:
53431, 53436, 53437, 53527, 53111 R, 53250
Abstract:
The candle uses wax beads produced using existing equipment. The wax beads are transported to a bead hopper and the bead hopper deposits a volume of wax beads into jars prepared with a wick. Concurrently the jars are vibrated using a continuous vibratory motor to settle the wax beads for increased wax bead density. The filled jars are then transported to an in-container wax bead compression system where an automated plunging device compresses the wax beads. Jars are then transported by in-line conveyor to a wide conveyor. The jars are then filled at a liquid wax depositing station where the wax has been heated to its melting point and deposited into the jar to fill the void left by the in-container wax bead Compression system. The filled candle is then cooled to solidification. The finished candle is then ready for packing, distribution, sale, and use.
System And Method Of Manufacturing A Composite Candle Wick
US Patent:

Filed:

Appl. No.:

Inventors:
THE YANKEE CANDLE COMPANY, INC. - So. Deerfield MA, US

Assignee:
THE YANKEE CANDLE COMPANY, INC. - So. Deerfield MA
International Classification:
B32B 37/10, B32B 37/06, B32B 38/00
US Classification:
156269, 156543, 156499, 156510, 156321
Abstract:
The system and method for manufacturing the composite candle wick includes a mechanism for feeding the cotton wick and wood wick at substantially the same speeds. The wood wick is heated in order to cause a melting of a wax coating around the cotton wick and pressure is applied to the wick materials through a compression wheel and drive belt which carries the wick materials. Once the pressure is applied to form the composite wick the wicks are then sent through a cutting tube where a cutting blade will cut the wick to its desired length.
