Paraffin and other Mould Candles.
I, JOHN JAMES CLARET 339 Albany Road Camberwell London S.E. Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE
MOULDS FOR PRODUCING ORNAMENTAL PARAFFIN & OTHER MOULD CANDLES to
be as follows :—
My invention relates to a method of constructing the moulds or pipes for
producing ornamental paraffin & other mould candles & has special reference to
that class of ornamentation which is in high releif above or deeply sunk below the
surface of the candle, such as, Floral devices, Geometrical designs, Beadings,
Flutings, Spirals, ctc etc.
In carrying out my invention, I form the mould or pipe in which the wax is
poured in two or more longitudinal segments, the number of segments depending
on the nature of the design, which design is formed on the inner surface of such
segments.
-
These segments are held in contact by being placed in an outer tube of copper,
German silver, steel, or other suitable metal, which may or may not be plated with
another metal not acted on by the fatty acida.
This outer tube is preferably made slightly taper.
The compound mould thus formed may be placed in a candle moulding machine
of the ordinary construction; the outer portion or tube being fixed, the inner
segmental mould being raised by the driving pistons.
By this invention the seperate portions of the moulds now in use for forming
the tips and in the case of Self Fitting Candles-the cones, may be dispensed
with though if desired they may be retained.
In one method of working this invention, the inner or segmental portion is
raised together with the enclosed candle entirely or partially free of the outer tube,
the seperate segments being then removed by hand; or the seguenta may be
hinged by their lower ends to rods moving in suitable guides so that when raised
from the outer tube they can be made to seperate sufficiently to liberate the
candles, by means of springs fixed in their longitudinal edges of contact.
If desired the segments may be hinged to the head of driving pistons, instead of
to rods working in guides & the whole arrangement may be used either with or
without suitably adapted clamps.

Parrafin and other Mould Candles.
I, JOHN JAMES CLARET Engineer 3 Royds Street Rochdale Lancashire do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE
MOULDS FOR PRODUCING ORNAMENTAL PARRAFIN & OTHER MOULD CANDLES
and in what manner the saine is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In carrying out my Invention I form the mould or pipe in which the wax is
poured in two or more longitudinal segments, the number of such segments.
depending on the nature of the ornamental design which design is formed on the
inner surfaces of such segments.
These segments are retained in position during the pouring of the wax by being
enclosed in a surrounding outer tube which is made slightly taper in the direction
of its length for the purpose of ensuring close contact of the segments.
This outer tube should be of some good conducting metal preferably drawn
copper and may or may or may not be plated with silver, nickle or other metal
unaffected by the fatty acids.
The compound mould thus formed may be fixed in a candle moulding machine
of the ordinary construction, the outer or tubular portion being a fixture, whilst
the segments are capable of being expelled together with the candles when
sufficiently cooled, by the driving pistons.
By this invention the portions forming the tip (& in the case of self fitting end
candles, the cone) which are at present made seperate, may be dispensed with, the
whole contour of the candle being formed by the before mentioned segments though
if desired these seperate portions may be retained in combination with the before
mentioned arrangement.
Under ordinary circumstances it is intended that the before mentioned segments
should leave the outer tube entirely with the candle being afterwards removed
from the candle by hand but in some cases I hinge the lower ends of the said.
segments to rods moving in suitable guides or the segments may be hinged
directly to the heads of driving pistons, so that when raised from the mould the
segments may be made to seperate sufficiently to liberate the candles by either of
the methods for seperating the segments of cones described in my specification
N° 5152 1884.
Fig. I of the accompanying drawings is a general view of the compound mould.
-A is the cylindrical outer portion which is fixed in the water box of machine.
B. C. & D. are the seperate segments on whose inner surfaces is formed the
ornamental design.
Fig. 2 is a single segment shewn seperately for the sake of clearness.
"In Fig. 3 is shewn a finished candle as an example of the class of ornamentation
possible under this system, the design being partly in relief above & partly
recessed below the normal surface of the candle.

page_text: The design or pattern illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2 is a combination of a right
& left handed spiral.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The use of a compound mould consisting of an inner removable segmental
portion fitting into, & held together by, the outer fixed tubular portion, as & for
the purpose herein before described & illustrated in figs 1 & 2.
