IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CANDLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES YATE JOHNSON of 47 Lincolns Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex,
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF CANDLES" which Invention has been communicated to me
from Abroad by Charles Goublier of 59 Rue Lepic, Paris in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer, to be as follows:-
-
This Invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of candles whereby
new and very desirable properties are given to the candles produced, and certain
inconveniences and delays in the manufacture as hitherto conducted are obviated.
According to this Invention there is applied to the moulds in which the candles
are made a very low degree of cold which may be produced by applying ice around
the moulds or by means of any known or convenient means of producing artificially
a low degree of cold whereby remarkably improved effects are obtained the rate
of production being considerably increased by the expedition of the moulding
operation and the candles produced having a good consistency or hardness and
great brilliancy of surface.
The Invention is applicable to the manufacture of all kinds of candles whether
having ordinary wicks or with hollow wicks through which air is supplied to the
centre of the flame.
In the latter case the improvement in the flame produced by this internal supply
of air added to the improved qualities given by the moulding with intense cold as
aforesaid gives a very desirable product.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Candles:
I JAMES YATE JOHNSON of 47 Lincolns Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this Invention which has been com-
municated to me from abroad by Charles Goublier of 59 Rue Lepic Paris in the
Republic of France Manufacturer, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of candles whereby
new and very desirable properties are given to the candles produced and certain
inconveniences and delays in the manufacture as hitherto conducted are obviated.
According to this Invention there is applied to the moulds in which the candles
are made a very low degree of cold which may be produced by applying ice around
the moulds or by means of any known or convenient means of producing artificially
a low degree of cold whereby remarkably improved effects are obtained the rate of
production being considerably increased by the expedition of the moulding operation
and the candles produced having a good consistency or hardness and great
brilliancy of surface. The invention is applicable to the manufacture of all kinds
of candles whether having ordinary wicks or with hollow wicks through which air
is supplied to the centre of the flame. In the latter case the improvement in the
flame produced by this internal supply of air added to the improved qualities
given by the moulding with intense cold as aforesaid gives a very desirable
product.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. In the manufacture of candles the employment of ice or other suitable means
for producing a very low degree of artificial cold as and for the purpose herein-
before described.
