PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candle Moulding Apparatus.
We, JAMES DAMPIER PALMER, Manufacturer, Victoria Works, Stratford, in
the County of Essex, and ALBERT WARE, of 43, Bridge Road, Stratford, in the
County of Essex, Patternmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has for its object, improvements in candle moulding apparatus.
It is now usual to mount candle moulds within troughs or cisterns through which
a circulation of water can be maintained.
The candle moulds are arranged along the two sides of the trough or cistern
and the inlet for the water is by a perforated pipe extending along the centre of
the bottom between the two sets of moulds.
The outlet for the water is by numerous perforations in the walls of the trough
or cistern on either side by which the water passes into channels on the outside
which lead it away.
According to this invention the outlet for the water is by a gutter or receiver
arranged within and near the top of the trough or cistern and along the centre
thereof between the candle moulds. The water when the trough or cistern is
sufficiently full overflows the sides of the gutter or receiver and is led away by it
to the end of the trough or cistern into a compartment with which a waste pipe is
connected. The gutter is adjustable to regulate the water level in the trough.
A draw off valve is provided for emptying the main trough into the compartment
to which the waste pipe is attached. The advantages of the invention are economy
in construction of the apparatus and a better circulation of the water.

connected. A draw off valve is provided for emptying the main trough into the

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of apparatus in accordance with our invention.
Figure 2 is an end elevation, and
Figure 3 is a plan of the same.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section on the line 1, 1, in Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a section on the line 2, 2, showing the draw off valve.
Figures 6, 7 and 8 show the gutter or receiver separately.
Figure 6 is a plan, Figure 7 is a side elevation and Figure 8 is an end elevation
thereof.
a is the water trough or cistern, it is mounted on suitable supports a¹ a¹.
bbb are the candle moulds, they are arranged in four rows, say about 20 moulds
in each row. Each mould b extends up through the bottom of the water trough
and at its upper end it opens into a tray b. There are two of these trays, one on
either side of the centre line of the water trough or cistern. The trays bare
adapted to receive the melted candle stuff and it runs from them into the candle
moulds.
There are nozzle pieces closing the candle moulds at their lower ends and
apparatus for ejecting the candles from the moulds and for supplying and holding
the wicks. All these arrangements are usual and are well understood. c is a pipe
by which water to cool the candle moulds is supplied to the water trough or
cistern a the pipe extends along the bottom of the trough and is perforated with
numerous holes. A cock or valve is provided to regulate the water supply.
The water trough or cistern a is provided with a transverse partition a² which
separates off a compartment a³ and with this the outlet pipes dd are connected ;
they lead to a drain or other convenient receptacle. e is a gutter or receiver fixed
within the water trough or cistern and extending from end to end of it between
the trays 61 6¹.
At one end the gutter or receiver is adapted to a recess in the partition a² the
joint being made water tight and at the other end the trough rests upon a ledge a*
so that the gutter may be readily removed and if it be desired to alter the water
level another may be substituted.
The water in the trough or cistern a overflows the sides of the gutter e and is
led by it into the compartment a³ thence it escapes by the outlet pipes. In this
way the hottest water is constantly removed and its place supplied with cold. fis
a plug for emptying the trough or cistern a when required.
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
The arrangement substantially as herein described for the withdrawal of water
which has become heated from the trough or cistern a, by a gutter e centrally
situate between the trays & in connection with the candle moulds and which gutter
leads the water into a compartment a³ of the trough or cistern whence it is conveyed
away to a drain or otherwise disposed of.
