Abstract

Ornamental candles which are decorated on the surface with a metallic effect are produced by melting and casting the wax, preventing the formation of gaseous inclusions, then lacquering with alcoholic lacquer, ageing for a limited lengthy period and carrying out the metallisation in vacuo.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Zierkerzen mit einem metallischen Oberflächendekor durch Lackieren einer Wachskerze mit einem Alkohollack und anschließendes Metallisieren unter Vakuum.The invention relates to a method for producing decorative candles with a metallic surface decor by painting a wax candle with an alcohol varnish and then metallizing under vacuum.

Ein Verfahren der vorstehenden Art ist in den CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS, Band 100, 1984, Seite 87, als Zusammenfassung Nr.69977z der japanischen Patentveröffentlichung JP-A-58 136 700 beschrieben. Durch das Metallisieren erzielt man eine bessere ästhetische Wirkung und höhere Haltbarkeit als bei dem allgemein üblichen Verfahren des Aufbringens von Purpurfarbe.A method of the above kind is described in CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS, Volume 100, 1984, page 87, as Summary No. 69977z of Japanese Patent Publication JP-A-58 136 700. Metallizing achieves a better aesthetic effect and a higher durability than with the generally used method of applying purple paint.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß es bei zu metallisierenden Kerzen in der Phase der Metallisierung unter Vakuum zu "Abplatzungen" kommen kann, welche Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Metallisierung zur Folge haben. Weiterhin neigen metallisierte Kerzen zu Abschälungserscheinungen des Lacks.It has been shown that in the case of candles to be metallized, "flaking" can occur in the metallization phase under vacuum, which results in irregularities in the metallization. Metallized candles also tend to peel off the paint.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, daß Kerzen mit einer möglichst gleichmäßigen Metallisierung erzeugt werden können.The invention is based on the problem of designing a method of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that candles can be produced with the most uniform possible metallization.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Lackieren und Metallisieren der Zierkerzen diese mindestens 60 Stunden, höchstens jedoch 15 Tage gealtert werden.According to the invention, this problem is solved in that, between painting and metallizing the decorative candles, they are aged for at least 60 hours, but not more than 15 days.

Durch dieses erfindungsgemäße Verfahren lassen sich in der Phase der Metallisierung unter Vakuum Abplatzungen vermeiden, die Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Metallisierung zur Folge hätten. Abschälerscheinungen des Lackes lassen sich dadurch vermeiden, daß die Metallisierung nach einer Zeit von nicht länger als 15 Tagen nach der Behandlung mit Alkohollack durchgeführt wird.This method according to the invention makes it possible to avoid spalling in the metallization phase under vacuum, which would result in irregularities in the metallization. Peeling phenomena of the lacquer can be avoided by carrying out the metallization no longer than 15 days after the treatment with alcohol lacquer.

Um eine gute Lackierung und darauffolgende Metallisierung zu erreichen, muß die Kerze frei abgestützt werden und sie darf nicht berührt werden, um das Anhaften der Metallisierung zu gewährleisten. Hierzu wird in den Kerzen ein axiales Loch am unteren Ende zum Aufstecken auf eine Zapfenhalterung eines in die Vakuumkammer einzubringenden Rechens vorgesehen.In order to achieve good painting and subsequent metallization, the candle must be supported freely and must not be touched to ensure that the metallization adheres. For this purpose, an axial hole is provided in the candles at the lower end for plugging onto a pin holder of a rake to be inserted into the vacuum chamber.
