[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The decorative lamp lighting method of the present invention will be described in detail below. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example embodying the decorative lamp lighting method of the present invention. A candle 1 of a group A having a long burning time and a candle 1 'of a group B having a short burning time are erected in a candle accommodating container 5 in which a large number of candles can be erected in a row. Fuse 3
And the burning wick 2 is brought into contact with or close to the squib for candle 3 to form a candle standing body 6. A large number of the candle standing bodies 6 are placed on a candle placing stand 7 having a step-like step 8. One candle igniting wire 3 which intersects, joins, or comes into contact with or comes close to the candle igniting wire 3 group of a large number of the candle standing bodies 6 arranged in the step-like step 8 is facing the front of the candle mounting stand 7. At the left end. A with long burning time
The group candles 1 and the group B candles 1 ′ having a short burning time are erected in a row, and the burning wick 2 of the candle is connected with the candle squib 3 or the burning wick 2.
Is brought into contact with or close to the candle squib 3 to form a candle standing body 6. The candle 1 is composed of characters, figures,
Characters, graphics, and designs to be displayed after the design changes are arranged at predetermined positions required by the design. The candle 1 '
Is placed at a predetermined position required by characters, figures, and designs to be displayed first, and at a position where the candle 1 is not placed. The candle 1 and the candle 1 '
May be erected not only in a straight line but also in a line so as to draw an arc. Further, if the candle 1 and the candle 1 'are erected in the candle container 5 in which a large number of candles can be erected in a row, the setting work is omitted and the versatility is enhanced. The candle storage container 5 holds a large number of the candles 1 and the candles 1 ′ by means such as providing hollows about the size of the candle 1 and the lower part of the candles 1 ′, or by marking at equal intervals. You may make it erected at equal intervals. If care is taken to arrange candles in this manner, characters, figures, designs, etc. can be expressed with candle flames.
Very convenient. The candle container 5 is generally elongated, but may be of any other shape. Further, the shape may be a linear elongated shape or a curved elongated shape. If the candle storage container 5 is cloudy, the candle receiving container 5 can be raised in white by receiving the light of the candle and can provide a favorable lighting effect, which is preferable. If another color is required, the desired effect can be obtained by using the translucent candle container 5 of a desired color. Of course, it may be transparent or opaque. Vinyl chloride resin and the like are preferably used because they are excellent in self-extinguishing properties and are a material that transmits light, and polycarbonate is a material that is excellent in heat resistance and is a material that transmits light. As a versatile molding method, there is a method in which a sheet-shaped material such as a vinyl chloride resin or polycarbonate is used and formed by a vacuum molding method or the like. Further, it is desirable to determine the shape of the candle 1 and the candle 1 ′ in consideration of such a shape that the accommodated candle 1 and the candle 1 ′ do not move, the molten wax does not overflow, and the shape is not easily damaged by the combustion flame. In order that the accommodated candle 1 and the candle 1 'do not move, the candle 1 and the candle 1' used by the candle accommodating part of the candle accommodating container 5 should have a size and shape that fit as closely as possible. Preferably, there is. Alternatively, the candle 1 and the candle 1 ′ may be fixed in the candle container 5 by an adhesive tape, an adhesive, an adhesive, a hot melt bonding method, or the like. The candle accommodating container 5 may be used as needed, and may be appropriately selected depending on the effect form, such as not using the container, or using a container accommodating one or several candles.

The candles 1 and 1 'used in the present invention
For the candles, commonly used candles can be used. The length of the burning time may be determined by the weight of the burning agent, or the burning time may be determined by using a means for forcibly stopping the burning. The means may be a conventional method.
Water is contained in the combustion wick at the part where combustion is to be stopped, and a metal tube or the like is caulked to the combustion wick at the part where combustion is to be stopped. In the present invention, it is necessary to extinguish a specific candle only by burning it for a very short time after the candle is ignited. , Did not exist. One example of a technique for a candle that automatically extinguishes after a very short period of burning, which is required and invented for the first time in the present invention, is a candle impregnated with a wax projecting above the burning agent as shown in FIG. Fig. 5 (b) in which a non-combustible or non-combustible synthetic resin cylinder 9 is inserted and attached to the burned wick.
There are candles as shown. Here, the material constituting the synthetic resin cylinder 9 is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the purpose of stopping combustion after burning for a very short time by being attached to the combustion wick protruding above the combustion agent. Not done. In the present invention, since it is necessary to extinguish a large number of candles at one time, it is preferable to select a material that does not generate toxic gas or odor at the time of extinguishing the fire as a material constituting the synthetic resin cylinder 9. Silicon resin has excellent heat resistance and self-extinguishing properties, and does not generate toxic gas or odor during self-extinguishing, and thus can be said to be an excellent material suitable for extinguishing a large number of candles at once. Furthermore, since silicone rubber tubes made of silicone resin are available on the market with a variety of inner diameters with a cloudy appearance, they match the narrow diameter of the burning core impregnated with wax that protrudes above the burning agent of the candle. Tube selection is easy and versatile, and mounting can be made easily and easily. Also, it is hardly noticeable even when attached to a candle, it can have almost the same appearance as a candle without the tube attached, and in a state where many candles are arranged, which candle extinguishes in a short time with a candle It is possible to make it difficult to recognize the presence, and when characters, figures, and designs appear, it is possible to bring great surprises and surprises. Furthermore, A group, B group, C group,
As described above, several types of candles having different burning times for each group may be used. Here, a slight difference in the burning time depending on the size of the candle is an error and is not considered to be a different type. In order to avoid wax dripping and heat accumulation due to the molten wax, if you use a candle with a weight enough to secure the burning time required for production,
At the end of the production, the residual amount of the molten wax is very small, and the risk of being burned by the molten wax at the time of cleaning up is reduced. Further, it is preferable that the length of the candle burning core 2 protruding above the candle 1 be longer than usual, because handling becomes easier when the squib 3 is extended. As the squib 3, a squib generally used for candles can be used without any trouble. The squib 3 may be connected to the candle burning wick 2 with an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive, or may be wrapped or entangled for connection.
Further, as long as the flame of the squib 3 can be sufficiently transferred to the candle burning wick 2, the squib 3 may be installed in contact or close proximity.

The candles 1, 1 ', etc. may be arranged as described above, or the candles, candle holders or the like may be used to house the candles, or the candles may be left as they are, arranged in a line or separately. You may.
The candle can be arranged on a plate-shaped pedestal on which many picks are arranged, or a pedestal provided with a hole for fitting the candle holder, the candlestick, or the like, a pedestal marked with the arrangement position, or the like can be used.

[0010] The characters, figures and designs referred to in this specification are visually perceived with a certain extent.
Those represented by only one point are not considered to be letters, figures, or designs. Therefore, "only one flame of a candle" is not considered to be a character, a figure, or a design, and thus does not fall into the category of the character, figure, or design represented by the flame of the candle.

In the decorative lamp lighting method of the present invention,
As described above, a candle may be used for continuous ignition using a squib, or a method of igniting one candle for each candle wick may be used. In addition, it is preferable to represent a variety of characters, figures, and designs by expressing them with the flames of a large number of candles. However, on the other hand, when the installation location is restricted or the design that appears after change is simple. In some cases, a large number of the candles is not necessarily required, and a relatively small number of the candles may be sufficient for displaying the design. Furthermore, various decorative lighting effects can be realized by combining the plurality of candles into one unit and combining the plurality of units with other effects such as a flower arrangement. Furthermore, by combining or linking a plurality of specific examples of the lighting method, after changing the form of the lighting, more various figures and designs can be expressed, and words and sentences using many characters can be used. Can also be expressed. This is the same when the standing candle 6 is used.

In the present invention, by first extinguishing the flame of the candle at a specific position among the candles lit in the above-described manner, the overall lighting mode changes, and characters, graphics, The design is revealed. It is advisable to set the candle that extinguishes the flame in about the same amount of time.

Further, in the decorative lamp lighting method of the present invention, as described above, a character, a figure, and a design are made to appear by lighting a candle flame on a character, a figure, and a design to be displayed. Besides how to
A method of extinguishing characters, figures, and designs as dark portions by extinguishing the candle flame only in the portions that become characters, figures, and designs to be exposed may be employed. If you use this method,
Candles with a short burning time are used for shapes and designs.
A candle with a long burning time may be placed in other portions. Also, if you adopt multiple candle groups,
The character, figure, and design to be displayed can be changed multiple times.

[0014]

Next, the decorative lamp illuminating method of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. Example 1 In the same form as shown in FIG. 1, a frame member made of an aluminum alloy and having a thickness of 1.5 to 2.0 mm is used, and 17 step-like steps are arranged at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. In addition, a candle mounting stand (700 mm wide, 630 mm long, 630 mm high) was prepared. The dimensions of the step installation section are 700 mm wide and 895 mm long.
The candle container has the same form as that shown in FIG. 1 and has a length of 640 mm, a width of 40 mm, and a height of 2 mm.
An elongated candle container in which 17 small candles can be arranged in a horizontal row of 0 mm is used.
It was prepared by a vacuum molding method using a 5 mm vinyl chloride resin sheet. The candles used are of three different types as shown in FIG. 2, and the burning time is set constant for each group. The candle of the group with the shortest burning time is made of a cotton thread core wax-impregnated, and one end of the stiffened candle is fixed to a steel washer, and then the aluminum pipe with an outer diameter of 3 mm and an inner diameter of 2 mm is placed upward. After inserting so as to protrude about 25 mm and pushing down to the washer, crimp the upper end of the pipe,
A candle as shown in FIG.
It was set to be about 5 seconds. Next, the candles of the group whose burning time is intermediate are fixed to a steel washer so that one end of a candle with a waist is obtained by impregnating a cotton thread with wax and projecting about 50 mm, as shown in FIG. The candle was set as shown, and the burning time was set to be about 150 seconds. Furthermore, the candles of the group with the longest burning time have a bottom diameter of 20 mm and a height of 10 mm.
Paraffin wax is formed into a hemispherical shape to be used as a candle burning agent, and a cotton yarn core is impregnated with wax and one end of a stiffened candle burning core is fixed to a steel washer. Into the candle in the direction, and 50mm from the bottom to the top of the wick
The length of the combustion wick was set so as to obtain a candle as shown in FIG. 2C, and the burning time was set to be about 25 minutes. Next, in the same form as shown in FIG.
The above-described candles having different burning times were bonded and fixed to a predetermined portion of a candle container placed on each step of the candle placing stand by a hot melt bonding method. Further, a left side of the 700 mm candle igniter wire is used as a row ignition site, and the remaining igniter wire is adhered and fixed to the top of the candle burning core with a nitrocellulose adhesive so that the remaining igniter wire is stretched in a horizontal line. Body. Next, as a procedure, first, the length is 900 mm in the left column facing the front of the candle placing stand of FIG.
And the upper and lower ends of the cascaded squib were fixed. Further, the candle standing body is placed on the uppermost step, and the row ignition portions of the squib are crossed so as to be placed above the column squib, and then the left end of the row ignition portion is fixed to the stand. Similarly, in the same work setup from the upper step to the lower step, the candle standing body and the row ignition portion for 17 steps were set.
Next, after the above preparations were completed, the light was turned off, and in a dim light, a gas lighter was used to ignite the ignition point set at the lower left end toward the front as shown in FIG. The fire ignited in the cascade from the ignition point runs up while igniting the horizontal ignition portion from the bottom, and all candles are lit about 50 seconds after ignition, as shown in FIG. 3 (a). It became such a lighting form. Approximately 75 seconds after the ignition, the candle at the lower left part of the front gradually starts to disappear, and after the ignition, 1
After 20 seconds, the illumination changed to a heart-shaped illumination form as shown in FIG. About 150 seconds after the ignition, the candle gradually starts to extinguish again, forming characters with the flame of the candle. At about 200 seconds after the ignition, the letter “LOVE” is darkened as shown in FIG. It became a lighting form that emerged in the interior. After that, the candle was lit for 20 minutes, with the word "LOVE" appearing. Example 2 The same candle mounting stand and the same container as the example 1 were used. The candles used were of two types, each having a fixed burning time. The candles having a long burning time were formed by molding paraffin wax into a spherical shape having a radius of 8 mm as a candle burning agent, and a cotton yarn core. Is fixed to a steel washer with a wax impregnated to give a waist, and this is inserted in the axial direction of the candle burning agent to form a candle.Furthermore, from the bottom to the top of the burning wick about 52 mm. The length of the combustion wick was set so as to obtain a candle as shown in FIG. Here, the combustion time was set to be about 25 minutes. further,
For the candles of the group with a short burning time, a commercially available silicone rubber tube with an outer diameter of 3 mm and an inner diameter of 2 mm cut into 10 mm is inserted into the burning wick protruding from the candle burning agent of the candle of the long burning time group. The candle was mounted on the upper part of the burning agent, as shown in FIG. Here, the combustion time was set to be about 75 seconds. Next, in the same manner as shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned types of candles having different burning times were bonded and fixed to a predetermined portion of a candle container placed on each step of the candle placing stand by a hot melt bonding method. In addition, the left end 10 of a 700 mm long candle squib
A 0 mm portion was defined as a horizontal row ignition portion, and a nitrocellulose-based adhesive was adhered and fixed to the top of the burning core of the candle so that the remaining squib was stretched in a horizontal row, thereby forming a candle standing body.
Next, as a procedure, first, a candle igniter wire having a length of 900 mm was arranged in the left column facing the front of the candle mounting stand in FIG. 1, and the upper and lower ends of the column igniter were fixed. Further, the candle standing body is placed on the uppermost step, and the row ignition portions of the squib are crossed so as to be placed above the column squib, and then the left end of the row ignition portion is fixed to the stand. Similarly, in the same work setup from the upper step to the lower step, the candle standing body and the row ignition portion for 17 steps were set. Next, after the above preparations were completed, the light was turned off, and in a dim light, a gas lighter was used to ignite the ignition point set at the lower left end toward the front as shown in FIG. The fire ignited from the ignition point to the vertical squib runs up while igniting the horizontal ignition portion from the bottom, and all candles are lit about 58 seconds after ignition, as shown in FIG. 6 (a). It became such a lighting form. Approximately 75 seconds after ignition, the candle in the lower left portion of the front gradually starts to disappear, and 130 seconds after ignition, the number "2000" emerges as shown in FIG. 6B. Lighting mode. afterwards,
The candle is 20 with the letters "2000" displayed.
It stayed on for a few minutes. In Example 2, the burning time was set to a very short time by using a candle of the same specification and attaching a silicone rubber tube to the burning wick above the candle burning agent. By using such a candle, it is possible to make the appearance almost the same as a candle without the tube attached, and to determine which candle is a candle that extinguishes fire in a short time in a state where a large number of candles are arranged. It can be difficult to understand, and when characters, figures, and designs appear,
It can bring surprises.
