    - 1 CANDLE COMPRISING A WICK, A FUEL AND A CANDLE DISH Technical Field The invention relates to candles, in particular to candles 5 which can be arranged on or in carriers. The carriers may be combustible underlays or combustible receiving units, in particular candle stands and floral receiving units such as for example advent wreaths and bouquets, on or in which the candles are arranged. 10 Background Candles produce a risk of fire which is based on the fact that the combustible underlay or receiving unit can be ignited as a result of contact with the flame of the 15 candle. This risk of fire is caused, above all in the burnt-down state, as a result of the fact that the wick of the almost burnt-out candle cannot dip into the liquid fuel and become extinguished therein when the fuel of the almost burnt-down candle runs out. In this case, a larger 20 portion of the wick is now in contact with atmospheric oxygen and increases the size of the flame in a manner which can engulf the carrier material. Candle receiving devices, for example in the form of fire 25 resistant candle cups (tea light holders, tea light cups, made mainly of glass or metal) completely receive the candles and prevent the liquid fuel from running out and thus prevent the risk of fire specifically just before burning-out of the candles as the fuel runs out. However, 30 a drawback of these devices is that the known candle cups, in receiving the candle, block the candle from view. Furthermore, the candle cups do not prevent slippage or tilting which is caused, for example, by shaking and as a result of which, on the one hand, the candle flame can 35 come close to the fuel or, on the other hand, the wax can run out, thus promoting a fire. 3975157 (G . a ers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3 - 2 In the prior art, this problem is solved by devices for fastening candles in which at least one pin is plunged into the fuel at the foot of the candle and thus ensures secure fastening of the candle to the carrier, in 5 particular in advent wreaths and bouquets. However, a drawback is that the holding pins, which for reasons of stability are made of metal, are good heat conductors and can thus burn, when the candle is burnt down, holes which are close to the points for penetration into the base of 10 the candle and through which the liquid fuel runs out. As a result of the running-out of the fuel, the flame can then engulf all of the rest of the wick and cause a fire either directly or by descending into the carrier. 15 Candle fastening devices containing a mount, a candle dish and a plug-in pin have therefore been developed ("Safe Stick Candle" from Richard Wenzel GmbH & Co. KG, Aschaffenburg). In this candle fastening device, a wick mount prevents the wick from falling over in the liquid 20 fuel when the candle has almost completely burnt out. Furthermore, an elevated edge of the mount prevents the liquid fuel from running out at the end of the candle burning period. Both factors ensure that the candle self extinguishes at the end of the burning period and prevent 25 the formation of a fire, thus allowing the fastening device to be introduced along with the candle onto or into combustible carriers even without the risk of fire. However, one drawback is that this unit consisting of the plug-in pin and candle dish causes high costs in 30 production. Furthermore, the candle dish has to be fastened together with the plug-in pin to the candle prior to use, thus necessitating an additional operation for fastening the candle dish. Finally, the use of the candle fastening device is limited to candles having a specific 35 milled-out portion for receiving the elevated edge of the mount, thus forcing the consumer to use candles which are more expensive than others owing to the additional 397515 7 (G- aLers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3 - 3 generation of the milled-out portion. Summary In a first aspect, there is provided a candle comprising a 5 wick, a fuel and a candle dish, wherein the candle dish consists of an aluminium plate integrated into the fuel in the region of the base of the candle and which is arranged on a candle blank by compression with the candle blank prior to the application of the dip coating wax layer and 10 the aluminium has a thickness of 30 to 100 pm. In an embodiment the plate is circular and has a central depression. 15 In an embodiment the candle dish has elevated bordering which is configured to the side of the dish opposing the depression. In an embodiment the plate has at least one embossment, 20 the embossment or the embossments extending in the direction of the bordering. In an embodiment the embossment is additionally provided with incisions or punchings, the incisions or punchings 25 being crescent-shaped. In an embodiment the candle dish has point markings to be penetrated by plug-in connector equipment and the point markings are crescent-shaped punchings. 30 In an embodiment the aluminium has a thickness of 48 to 68pm. In a second aspect, the invention provides a process for 35 the production of a candle comprising a wick, a fuel, a dip coating wax layer, and a candle dish, wherein the candle dish consists of an aluminium plate having a 397515 7 (G- aLers) P7 826 U 4/0/3 - 4 thickness of 30 to 100 pm integrated in the region of the base of the candle, wherein the process comprises: (a) forming a candle blank; 5 (b) compressing the candle dish with the candle blank whereby to arrange the candle dish on the candle blank; and 10 (c) applying the dip coating wax layer to produce the candle. In an embodiment the candle dish may be compressed with the candle blank during the step (a). 15 In an embodiment the plate has elevated bordering which is configured to the side of the candle dish opposing the depression. 20 In one embodiment the plate has a central depression and the step (b) may involve arranging the candle dish with the depression extending outwardly from the base of the candle. 25 Furthermore, step (c) may involve applying the dip coating wax layer to the compressed candle blank and candle dish such that the candle dish is at least partially exposed. Step (c) may involve applying the dip coating wax layer to 30 the compressed candle blank and the candle dish such that only the depression is exposed. In an embodiment, the candle dish has a diameter less than 35 the diameter of the base of the candle blank. Optionally, the candle dish has a diameter that is 4mm less than the diameter of the base of the candle blank. 3975157 I 1( aLers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3 - 5 In an embodiment the candle dish has an elevated border configured to the side of the plate opposing the depression and the step (b) involves arranging the 5 elevated border within the base. In an embodiment the candle dish has at least one embossment, the embossment or the embossments extending in the direction of the bordering. 10 Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a partial cross-section through a candle having a candle dish; 15 Figure 2 is a plan view of the candle dish of Figure 2; Figure 3A is a section along line A-B showing detail D; Figure 3B is a section along line A-B showing detail D'. 20 Detailed Description Embodiments of the invention provide self-extinguishing of the flame of candles close to the end of the burning period even on or in combustible carriers without having 25 to fasten to the candle a candle dish which is visible when the candle is in use. Referring to Figures 1 to 3, there is provided a candle dish 4 which, in a candle 3 comprising the wick 1, the 30 fuel and the candle dish, is a plate arranged in the region of the base of the candle. The plate-like candle dish causes a separation of run-out fuel and the wick and thus deprives the burning wick of the fuel. As a result of the fact that the plate is attached in the region of 35 the base of the candle, it is substantially invisible when the candle is in use. 3975157 (G . a ers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3 - 6 In the region of the wick there is an embossment as a visible understructure and marking which enters into view as a result of the levelling of the bottom of the candle, thus revealing a safety feature which is recognisable to 5 the manufacturing industry and/or to small-scale private manufacturers. The perpendicularly embossed edge increases the stability and promotes adhesion in the candle body; for larger 10 diameters, continuous angular cuts are additionally provided during the embossing process to optimise the adhesion at the bottom of the candle blank. The angle or crescent marked by these cuts can be bent out of the plane of the candle dish downward (detail D) and/or upward 15 (detail D'). In the example, illustrated in Figure 1, the dish is formed as an aluminium dish having a diameter 4mm smaller than the diameter of the candle 3. 20 Preferably, the plate has a surface which is not larger than the base of the candle. Furthermore, the shape of the plate preferably corresponds to the shape of the base of the candle. Particularly preferably, the plate and base 25 of the candle are circular. This ensures that the plate is completely invisible when the candle is in use, not only for the most part but rather until shortly before the candle burns out, while still optimally performing its function. 30 The candle dish can be arranged on the fuel at the base of the candle. This allows the candle according to the invention easily to be generated from the candle plate and the fuel along with the wick, for example by compression 35 once the candle has been generated. The candle plate can however also be attached by adhesion. Candle plates arranged in this way are visible from the base side of the 397515 7 (G- aLers) P7 826 U. 4/0 / 3 candle and can therefore be marked with a reference to their function for the consumer (for example by inscribing or sticking on an appropriate label or embossing). The candle dish can however also be integrated into the fuel 5 in the region of the base of the candle (as shown in Figure 1). Thus, the candle dish cannot even be seen from below the base. The candle dish can be introduced not only during or after the pressing of a candle but rather also during or after the production of a candle using a 10 different method (for example moulding, drawing or dunking). Particularly preferably, the candle dish is arranged on the candle blank prior to the application of the dip coating wax layer 2. The arranging on the candle blank 3 can in this case be carried out by compression 15 with the candle blank, in particular at the end of the pressing process for generating the candle blank or during or after the moulding of the candle blank. The applying of the dip coating wax layer 2 can serve to generate a specific visual appearance of the candle, in particular a 20 specific colour. The dip coating wax layer 2 can however also be white or colourless. Preferably, the candle dish is made of aluminium. The use of aluminium to produce the candle dish ensures that low 25 material costs are required to generate the candle dishes, as aluminium can be rolled out very thin owing to its high malleability. Furthermore, the use of aluminium has the advantage that the finished candle has, owing to the lower inherent weight of aluminium, can only slightly changed 30 weight compared to other candles not containing the candle dish. Finally, aluminium can also be easily penetrated, owing to its high ductility, by plug-in connector equipment such as, for example, fastening pins. Thus, the candles according to the invention with an aluminium 35 candle dish can easily be arranged on the carriers with plug-in connector equipment used to penetrate the dish. 3975157 (G . a ers) P7 826 U. 4/0 / 3 - 8 The aluminium candle dish preferably has a thickness of from 30-100 pm, particularly preferably from 48-68 pm. At lower thicknesses the aluminium becomes difficult to roll out, at higher thicknesses it can no longer be penetrated. 5 The candle dish may however also be made of a different fire-resistant material. Thus, for example, other metals as well as metal alloys, inorganic materials, fire resistant plastics materials, fire-resistant composite 10 materials, ceramic materials and also glass can be used. Preferred other metals and metal alloys include iron or steel, copper and zinc and also bronze and brass. Fire resistant inorganic materials which can be used include, for example, silicon carbide and aluminium silicates. 15 Fire-resistant plastics materials include, for example, thermoplastic moulding compositions based on polyphenyl ethers and also conventional commercial plastics materials to which inorganic-based flame retardants, halogenated flame retardants, organophosphorus flame retardants or 20 nitrogen-based flame retardants have been added. Hard metals, glass fiber-reinfored glass and fiber/plastics material composites can, for example, be used as fire resistant composite materials, i.e. materials consisting of two or more materials which are joined together and 25 divided into the subgroups of particle composite materials, fiber composite materials, layer composite materials and infiltration composite materials. Should the candle dish be intended for applications 30 requiring penetration with fastening material, an appropriate selection is made from the above-mentioned materials. The candle dish preferably has a central depression. This 35 depression can serve to receive the wick mount or the remainder of the wick itself after burning-out. Furthermore, in the case of a candle with a candle dish 397515 7 (G- aLers) P7 826 U. 4/0/3 - 9 integrated substantially into the fuel, the depression can reveal from the outside a piece of the candle dish in the candle, thus distinguishing the candles according to the invention from conventional candles. 5 Furthermore, the candle dish can have elevated bordering which is configured to the side of the dish opposing the depression. This increases the stability of the dish and serves to improve the adhesion of the dish in the candle 10 body. Furthermore, such an edge offers protection against injuries caused by cutting. The candle dish can however also have at least one embossment to increase the stability of the dish and the 15 adhesion of the dish in the candle. Furthermore, each embossment can additionally be provided with incisions or punchings. The incisions or punchings are, for example, angular or crescent-shaped. Preferably, they are crescent shaped, as crescent-shaped incisions or punchings reduce 20 the risk of injury to the operator. The incisions ensure a better bond between the candle and candle dish. Thus, the embossments, which are provided with incisions, of the candle dish cause adhesion between the candle dish and the granular material. Such embossments with incisions are 25 also advantageous in candle moulding, because the liquid candle wax can pass through them and then solidify, thus producing an intimate bond between the candle dish and the candle mass. 30 The embossments, which can be provided with incisions 5, preferably extend in the direction of the bordering in order thus to minimise the risk of the operator injuring himself on the rising metal edges. 35 The candle dish can also have point markings which indicate preferred positions for the penetration of plug in connector equipment. These point markings can be 397515 7 (G- aLers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3 - 10 either colour-marked, embossed, drilled or punched. Particularly preferably, the point markings are punched, as this allows them to be introduced without the need for a further operation during the punching of the candle 5 dish. If the point markings are embossed, the point markings can then be identical to positions having a reduced layer thickness of the candle dish material, thus simplifying the penetration of the plug-in connector equipment at these positions. The drilled or punched point 10 markings can be configured so as to be circular or crescent-shaped. Preferably, they are punched out in the shape of a crescent, thus reducing the risk of injury. The plug-in connector equipment used is preferably metal plug-in pins or metal wire. 15 In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise" or variations such as 20 "comprises" or "comprising" is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention. 25 It is to be understood that, if any prior art publication is referred to herein; such reference does not constitute an admission that the publication forms a part of the common general knowledge in the art, in Australia or any other country. 30 3975157 (G . a ers) P7 826 U 4/0 / 3
