Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mosquito coil and an incense which heats and evaporates a drug for the purpose of repelling insects, aroma and deodorization, sterilization, and the like. The present invention relates to an incense stick whose burning time can be freely adjusted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, the use of mosquito coils has been decreasing indoors due to the emergence of electric mosquito coils, but they are still useful today because they can be easily and easily used anywhere. Recently, outdoor use scenes are increasing due to a leisure boom, a gardening boom, and a pet boom.

[0003] In such a situation, if the burning time of the mosquito coil that can be easily used can be freely controlled, it is considered that the range of application is further expanded.

By the way, a mosquito coil, which is a conventional insecticide incense stick, is generally in the form of a spiral, and is formed such that once ignited, it burns continuously for about 7 hours until the end. Therefore, when it is unnecessary after a predetermined time has elapsed, the burning part is cut off in the middle of the incense stick or water is put out to extinguish the fire. On the other hand, when long-term continuous use is necessary, a new incense must be lit with an eye on the timing of replenishment.

The following conventional techniques are known as means for solving these inconveniences.

That is, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 43-7200 (first prior art), a hole into which the tip of another incense is inserted is provided in the center of the spiral incense, and the bent tip of another incense is provided in this hole. Are shown so that one incense can be connected to one incense so as to continuously burn another incense.

[0007] Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-34501 (second prior art) discloses a joint for connecting a broken mosquito coil.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-310102 (third prior art), a concave portion is provided on one of both ends of the incense and a convex portion is provided on the other, so that different incense can be sequentially connected between the concave portion and the convex portion. Such a configuration is shown.

[0009]

Among the above-mentioned prior arts, the first prior art takes a lot of time to manufacture a spiral mosquito coil, which may cause loss during the distribution process until reaching the consumer, There is a risk of fire due to the fall of the ember.

In the second prior art, there is a trouble that a spiral mosquito coil incense sticks with broken and irregular incense sticks. Also, this joint is made of the same material as the incense stick to be connected by this, and since this portion is not particularly promoted in combustion, there is a gap between the joint and the broken end of the incense stick. In some cases, combustion may be interrupted at the joint by the joint.

Further, since the third prior art is configured to be connected by fitting at both ends of a U-shape in shape, if this fitting is not taken care of, this fitting portion may be broken. The quality could not be guaranteed. As described above, in the case of the related art, troubles are expected to occur in the use scene, and it is not practical.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and has a simple connection of an incense stick body which can be added to control the burning time to be short and long and also to control the amount of chemical fumigation.
