Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incense stick that prevents an incense stick set on a Buddhist altar or the like from falling down, and prevents the incense stick from dropping from the incense burner in the event of a fall.

2. Description of the Related Art When incense is given to a Buddhist altar, the incense is stuck in the ash in the incense burner. As a result, the ash was soft and weak in supporting the incense, and was easy to fall, and there was a risk of fire. Various incense sticks have been proposed to prevent this, but attention has not been paid to blind persons, and a convenient incense stick has been desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention can be used even by a blind person, and incense sticks are reliably set in the center of the incense burner. It is an object of the present invention to provide a convenient and safe incense stick that prevents a fire from occurring even if the incense stick falls down.

A knob having a tapered through hole into which a incense stick can be inserted is provided at the center, and a plurality of tapered concave and convex portions with holes are provided on the front and back of a curved plate connected to the knob. This problem can be solved by a scent holder, wherein an upwardly extending wall is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the curved plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view showing a first embodiment in which an incense stick 1 according to the present invention is used for an incense burner 2. As shown in FIG.
The incense stick 3 is inserted into the hole 6b provided in the knob 6 in the center part and the concave part 7a surrounding it, and the lower tip part is stabbed in the ash 4. The upper edge of the incense burner 2 is in contact with an upwardly extending portion 9 a provided near the outer periphery of the curved plate 5. FIG. 2 is a detailed sectional view of the knob 6, the concave portion 7, and the convex portion 8 provided on the curved plate 5. At the center of the knob 6, a wall forming a tapered hole 6a on the opening side with a symmetrical horizontal axis dividing the upper and lower sides of the curved plate 5 and a tapered hole 6b with a widened tip on the inner side Is provided. With this shape, the incense stick 3 can be easily inserted from above. As will be described later, the incense stand 1 is turned upside down and the incense burner 2
In the case where it is used while being mounted on a, the insertability is also excellent. On the front and back sides of the curved plate 5, tapered portions 7 having irregularities
A plurality of b and 8b are formed, and holes 7c and 8c are provided in the center of each part. The reason why the concave portions 7 and the convex portions 8 are provided is that the incense stick 3 is inserted into the concave portion 7 from above in the state shown in the figure, and is easily inserted into the hole 8c of the convex portion 8 when used upside down. It is. Since the concave portion 7 is arranged substantially on the circumference with the knob 6 as a center, the incense stick 3 can be easily inserted. In addition, we touch knob 6 with finger with the blind,
Inserting the incense stick 3 into the hole 6a at the center with that feeling,
It is very easy, and it is obvious that when inserting the lower end of the incense stick 3 on the curved plate 5 when inserting the incense stick into the hole of the concave part 7c, the incense can be naturally inserted into the concave part 7 avoiding the convex part 8. is there. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view from above of an example in which the incense stand 1 of the present invention is used in an incense burner 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a curved plate, which is manufactured by, for example, pressing a thin metal plate. Reference numeral 7 denotes a plurality of concave portions provided on the curved plate 5 by drawing of a press, and 8 denotes a convex portion. The concave portion 7 and the convex portion 8 surround the knob 6 at the center,
They are arranged almost concentrically. FIG. 5 shows the holes 7c, 8
It is four examples which show the shape of c. (A) shows a circle, (b) shows a rhombus, (c) shows a cross, and (d) shows a hexagon.
The holes 7c (8c) are larger than the thickness of the incense stick 3, and are not large enough to fit in the incense stick 3, and have such a shape that a gap is always formed when inserted. If the contact portion is in contact with a metal having a large specific heat, the heat may be taken away and the fire may go out. The portion excluding the thickness of the incense stick 3 is burned at the top of the incense stick 3 with the circulation of air so that it does not go out. The size and shape of the ash that can easily fall down and pass through are selected arbitrarily. In addition, the incense stick 3 has all the concave holes 7
Even if it is inserted in c, even if the incense 3 has a length below the curved plate 5 before the incense burner 3 burns out, it can easily burn even if the incense 3 is burned out. it can. As is well known, the incense stick 3 in the ashes 4
But all burned out as ash. The reason why two incense sticks 3 do not enter the hole 7c (8c) is that when two incense sticks of different lengths burn close to each other, one of the fires burns the other incense in the middle, This is to eliminate the problem that the incense stick is bent and falls and the lit incense falls outside. FIG. 5 shows an example of this situation. 2 is a censer,
3 is incense stick, 4 is ash. If the incense stick 3 burns on the way, it will fall out of the edge of the incense burner 2 and a fire risk will occur. However, depending on the sect, there are cases where several incense sticks are bundled and used, and incense sticks of almost the same length are used. In this case, incense sticks having the size of the holes 7c and 8c into which a predetermined number of incense sticks can be inserted. Can be produced. An example is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a usage example in which the incense stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention is turned upside down. The outer peripheral portion 9 a of the curved plate 5 is placed in contact with the upper edge of the incense burner 2. Knob 6
Has the same operation because of the symmetric shape as described above.
The protruding portion 8 is turned into a concave portion, and the incense stick 3 is inserted. The reason for making it upside down is that after the first use, it can be used quickly and conveniently only by turning over without cleaning the surface.
In the embodiment, the metal plate is formed by pressing. However, the metal plate may be formed of any material such as porcelain, opaque glass, and heat-resistant synthetic resin.

According to the present invention, there are many advantages as described below. Even a blind person can easily arrange and incense incense in a substantially upright state, and can prevent falling. Since the inclined edge is provided near the outer periphery of the curved plate, even if the incense stick falls down, the incense stick which is lit does not fall outside, so that a fire can be prevented. A plurality of incense sticks can be easily arranged and set up. It can be used upside down and can be used twice for one cleaning. The concavities and convexities are arranged in a concentric array centered on the center of the curved plate, and it is excellent in design and can be used without discomfort, so put ash in a pot, ashtray, teacup, etc. Can be used in place of the incense burner. If the incense stick is stabbed into the hole on the near side, the fire can be extinguished as soon as you go out, because it is inclined and located near the ash. By turning the knob, the rear surface can be used so that only the front surface is not used.
