Malleable Mold And Method of Use Thereof

Abstract

A method is disclosed for forming a candle having the steps of providing a mold device having a unitary, one piece, seamless body capable of being used as a stand alone device having a hollow, three-dimensional shape with at least one opening therein; the body being made from a uniform material which is malleably reusable and capable of flexation during demolding, and which returns to its original shape after each demolding via shape memory, and having an axis extending vertically there through, wherein the body yields a seamless product; populating the mold with the desired candle material and volume thereof; and separating the mold from about the candle by peeling back the mold.

1 . A method of forming a candle comprising the steps of:
 providing a mold device having a unitary, one piece, seamless body capable of being used as a stand alone device having a hollow, three-dimensional shape with at least one opening therein; said body being made from a uniform material which is malleably reusable and capable of flexation during demolding, and which returns to its original shape after each demolding via shape memory, and having an axis extending vertically there through, wherein said body yields a seamless product;   populating said mold with the desired candle material and volume thereof; and   separating said mold from about the candle by peeling back said mold.   
   
   
       2 . A method as in  claim 1 , wherein said step of providing a mold device, includes inserting a wick stand having a candle wick in a reuseable means for releaseably positioning a wick stand, wherein said means has a center. 
   
   
       3 . A method as in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of positioning the distal end of the candle wick prior to substantial curing of the candle material. 
   
   
       4 . A method as in  claim 1 , wherein said step of separating occurs after permitting the candle material to substantially cure. 
   
   
       5 . A method of forming a plurality of candles comprising the steps of:
 providing a mold device having a plurality of bodies cooperatively interconnected together substantially in the same plane, wherein each body having a hollow, three-dimensional shape with at least one opening therein; said body being made from a material having a malleable characteristic with shape memory, and having an axis extending vertically there through, wherein each axis is substantially parallel,   populating said mold with the desired candle material and volume thereof; and   separating said mold from about the candle by peeling back said mold.   
   
   
       6 . A method as in  claim 5 , wherein said step of providing a mold device, includes inserting a wick stand having a candle wick in a reuseable means for releaseably positioning a wick stand in each body, wherein said means has a center. 
   
   
       7 . A method as in  claim 5 , further comprising the step of positioning the distal end of the candle wick prior to substantial curing of the candle material. 
   
   
       8 . A method as in  claim 5 , wherein said step of separating occurs after permitting the candle material to substantially cure. 
   
   
       9 . A method of forming a candle using a malleable mold, which comprises:
 inserting a wick clip assembly into a reuseable means for releasably receiving and positioning a wick clip assembly;   populating the candle mold with the desired candle wax material and volume thereof;   optionally, repositioning the distal end of the candle wick;   permitting the candle material to cure; and   grasping the opening of the malleable mold and separating the entire malleable mold from about the substantially cured candle by peeling back the malleable mold.   
   
   
       10 . A method as in  claim 9 , further comprising the step of inserting the malleable mold device into a substantially non-malleable mold device prior to curing. 
   
   
       11 . A method as in  claim 10 , further comprising the step of separating the malleable mold device from the substantially non-malleable mold device prior to separating the malleable mold from the candle.
