LED mason jar candle
View Patent ↗A flameless candle molded into a jar is described. The jar is designed with an open bottom and is tooled for engagement with an electronic insert having batteries, control circuitry and at least one LED light. A candle is then formed in the jar with the electronic insert by molding a candle shell along the sidewalls of the jar. The candle shell is formed such that the sidewalls extend above the LED light of the electronic insert to allow the LED light to illuminate at a position below the sidewalls. The wax or waxen shell is formed only along the sidewalls, creating a hollow region above the electronic insert. Once the wax on the sidewalls sets, wax is then poured in the hollow regions above the electronic insert to a position just below or above the LED light.
1. A method for making a flameless candle in a jar, the method comprising the steps of:
tooling an opening in a bottom of the jar for engaging an electronic insert having a LED light;
engaging an electronic insert within the ring hole opening in the jar;
placing a silicone mold in the jar to mold the candle shell wax sidewalls within the jar, where the sidewalls form a hollow central opening extending the length of the sidewalls, and where the silicone mold extends above the position of the LED light of the electronic insert;
pouring liquid wax into the mold to a point above the position of the LED light of the electronic insert;
cooling the wax;
removing the silicone mold; and
pouring additional wax within the candle shell sidewall above the electronic insert to a position just above or below the LED but lower than the top of the candle shell sidewalls.
