Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the ash of incense stick drop in an incense holder without scattering from the holder in the incense stick to be stood on the incense holder and used. SOLUTION: This incense stick is provided with a great number of notch parts 2 at relatively short intervals in the length direction on the side of the incense stick 1. Every time a combustion position drops below the fixed notch part, ash 5 of the incense stick 1 naturally folds, lacks and drops.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of an incense stick which is mainly used as an incense stick, and is provided with a large number of cutouts on its side so that ash of the incense is not scattered outside the vessel. It is the feature that it did.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art This kind of incense stick used for standing incense sticks is relatively long, usually about 30 cm. Therefore, when the ash generated by the combustion breaks naturally and falls, the ash is liable to be scattered outside the incense stand, which is not safe for fire prevention, and has the disadvantage that the ash that has soiled the area must be cleaned up. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-53938 discloses an incense stick having a cutout on the side surface. The cutout portion of the incense stick of the prior application is intended to adjust the burning time short by igniting a long incense stick, as in the present invention. There is a difference in the basic idea in that a notch is not provided so as to shorten the length of the ash.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to prevent the scattering of ash caused by combustion when a long incense stick is used as described above, and to provide a safe and clean incense stick of this kind. It is intended to be used.

[0004]

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a large number of notches are provided on the side surface of the incense at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the incense caused by combustion is provided. The present invention provides an incense stick characterized in that the ash is configured to be naturally folded at each of the cutout portions and fall naturally.

In the incense stick of the present invention provided with the notch as described above, when the burning position is lowered and passes the notch,
The ash above the notch portion, which has lost the inherent rigidity of the incense stick, is sequentially broken off naturally and falls down, and falls at a certain position almost directly below the incense stick as shown in the figure. As a result, there is no scattering of ash, it is also a precautionary measure for fire, and there is no need to clean up the ash, so that the area around the incense stick can be kept clean.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention together with a use state thereof.

[0007] In the drawing, 1 is a commonly used incense stick having a circular cross section, 2 is a number of cutouts provided on the side surface of the incense stick 1 at relatively short intervals along the length direction, and 3 is a notch. The incense stand 4 is ash housed in the incense stand.

The illustrated incense stick 1 has a length of about 30 centimeters, a diameter of about 2 millimeters, and a gap between the notches 2 of about 1 centimeter. , Depth, notch angle, etc. are appropriately set according to the size of the incense stick to be applied.

When the burning position of the incense stick 1 erected in the incense stick 3 and ignited goes down beyond the notch portion 2, the portion of the ash 5 above the notch portion 2 becomes the incense stick originally. In addition to the loss of rigidity, the self-standing stability is impaired due to the cuts, so that the cuts are naturally spontaneously broken and fall almost immediately below the standing position, and fall to a substantially constant position as indicated by an imaginary line in the figure.

The incense stick of the present invention, which burns as described above,
The ash 5 breaks at every length determined by the notch, and its falling position is fixed almost immediately below the standing position. Therefore, it can be used that the ash 5 is not scattered outside the vessel and that the ash 5 does not dissipate, so that the user is not careless.

[0011]

According to the incense stick of the present invention constructed as described above and used as described above, every time the burning position goes down and passes through the notch portion, the ash from the notch portion is naturally removed successively. And fall to a fixed position almost directly below the standing position. Therefore, there is no scattering of ash, it is also a precautionary measure for fire, and it is not necessary to clean up the ash, and the area around the incense stick can be kept clean. The present invention has excellent effects as described above.
