PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candles, and Wax and such like Matches.
We THOMAS DEICHES of 45 Leman Street, Whitechapel, in the County of
London, Distiller, and JOSEPH KOMAIKE, trading as J. Heymann & Co. of
121 Newgate Street, in the City and County of London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to manufacture candles and wax and such like
matches which will give a pleasant smell while smouldering after being extinguished,
instead of the offensive smell given off by candles, wax and such like matches as
at present made.
According to this invention we impregnate the wick of the candle or the threads
or fibres of the match with a perfume, preferably by immersing such wick or
threads or fibres or parts thereof in liquid perfume of any suitable kind. The
candles or matches are made up with such perfumed wicks or threads or fibres in
the ordinary way.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candles, and Wax and such like Matches.
We THOMAS DEICHES of 45 Leman Street, Whitechapel, in the County of
London Distiller, and JOSEPH KOMAIKE, trading as J. Heymann & Co. of
121 Newgate Street, in the City and County of London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention is to manufacture candles and wax and such like
matches which will give off a pleasant smell while smouldering after being extin-
guished instead of the offensive smell given off by candles, wax and such like
matches as at present made.
According to this invention we impregnate the wick or the threads or fibre of
the wick of the candle or match with a perfume, or a fragrant, aromatic or other
sweet smelling substance, preferably by immersing such wick or the threads or
fibres thereof in liquid perfume of any suitable kind or in a liquid containing or
holding in solution any fragrant aromatic or other sweet smelling substance.
Taking oil of lavender as an example we have found that 2 ozs. of this perfume
would impregnate 1 lb. weight of candle wick of about 400 to 500 yards to the
pound, and that when the wick so impregnated was burnt an agreeable scented
odour was given off. The proportions used however may be more or less as
required. The candles or matches are moulded or formed on or with such perfumed
aromatic or scented wicks, threads or fibres in the ordinary way.
Sometimes in addition to using a perfumed wick we perfume the tallow, stearine,
paraffine spermaceti wax, or other fatty substance of which the body of the candle
or match is made and preferably we do this when the fatty substance is in the
liquid form and when it is cooling down to the solid state. We have found that

page_text: about oz. of oil of lavender would perfume 20 lbs. of the liquid fatty substance ;.
the proportions may be varied according to requirements. We do not wish to
confine ourselves to any particular perfume, or to the proportions in which the
same may be used with the wick or with the fatty substance or body.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said, inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A candle made with, the wick or a part or parts thereof perfumed and a
scented or unscented fatty substance or body substantially as described.
2. A match of wax or other fatty substance with the wick or the fibres or 1
threads of the wick or of the match perfumed and a scented or unscented fatty-
substance or body substantially as described.
Dated this 17th day of February 1894.
