Abstract: The present invention relates to shaker doors with solid cores and methods for making the same. The shaker doors contain different core materials at the recessed panel than the raise peripheral region to provide dimensional stability and reduced distortion when the doors are exposed to high humidity. The devices and methods also provide for easy assembly of solid core shaker doors, including fire rated doors.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an article, especially a door and a door component, such as a door facing (or door skin), having a pattern, preferably a woodgrain pattern. This invention also is directed to a method of making the door and the door component such as the door facing (or door skin) by inkjet printing of a pattern on the door facing (or door skin). The printing direction and ink droplets are provided to deliver a high quality image.

Abstract: A mottled candle and its method of manufacture are disclosed herein. The candle includes a body of wax disposed in a rigid, non-flammable container, the container having at least one wall that is at least translucent. The body of wax conforms to the wall of the container and includes a partially-hydrogenated tallow, a fatty component, and preferably paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. A wick is disposed in the body of wax.

Abstract: A candle including a mixture of fuels including at least 10 wt % tallow and 1 wt % to 30 wt % of a high oil content paraffin is disclosed. The candle optionally and preferably includes a microcrystalline wax and an oil-binding additive such as stearic acid. The candle has good thermal stability and good burn characteristics.

Abstract: A multi-region compressed wax article such as a candle is made by simultaneously dispensing multiple types of wax particles into a pressing mold to form a body of wax particles having corresponding multiple regions, and then the body of wax particles is compressed. A mass of wax particles divided into regions can be formed directly in the mold, or outside of the mold, and then dispensed into the mold to form a body of particles for compression. Alternatively, a body of wax particles can be formed directly in the mold, or outside of the mold and then transferred into the mold for compression. The resulting multi-region compressed wax article can have contiguous or non-contiguous regions of various shapes, such as parallel, swirled, checkered.
