In this continuous ignition candle, by igniting the core 12 of any one of the candles 10, the fire igniting the candle 10 follows the squib 14 and ignites the cores 12 of the other candles 10 one after another. The attached fireworks-like flame is ignited to enliven the atmosphere of wedding receptions and various parties.

[0004]

In the continuous ignition candle, each candle 10 is sequentially ignited via a squib 14 and each candle 10 ignites a firework-like flame.
All the candles 10 have the same firework-like flame. For this reason, even those who have seen a continuous ignition candle several times, or who have seen a continuous ignition candle for the first time, may feel that the first few flames are not interesting because of the repetition of the same thing .

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of this point,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous ignition candle which has an interesting and eye-catching effect.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a continuous ignition candle according to the present invention, in which a large number of candles are connected by a squib. And a flammable coloring member are fixed to the core of the candle, and the igniter wire is inserted through the annular space of the connecting member so that two or more different colors are used for the coloring member.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded sectional view of a continuous ignition candle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of a continuous ignition candle according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present invention, in addition to the candle 10, a string-shaped connecting member 18 and a tubular firing member 20 are prepared. It is economically desirable to use the cord-shaped connecting member 18 that is obtained by cutting the squib 14 short, but any flammable material may be used.

In the present invention, both ends of the communication member 18 and the ignition member 20 are fixed to the core 12 of the candle 10. First, both ends of the communication member 18 are put into the internal space of the cylindrical coloring member 20. Then, the color forming member 20 with both ends of the connecting member 18 inserted is put on the outside of the core 12 of the candle 10, and then the liquid adhesive is poured into the cylindrical color forming member 20. Thereby, the cylindrical coloring member 20, the string-shaped connecting member 18, and the core 12 of the candle 10 can be easily fixed. The fixing method of the tubular coloring member 20, the string-like connecting member 18, and the core 12 of the candle 10 is not limited to this.

The cylindrical coloring member 20 and the string-like connecting member 18
When both ends of the candle 10 and the core 12 of the candle 10 are fixed (FIG. 2), the center of the connecting member 18 has an annular shape protruding outside from the cylindrical coloring member 20, and a space is provided inside the annular shape. 22 is formed. The space 22 is for inserting the squib 14 therein. In a state where both ends of the cylindrical coloring member 20 and the connecting member 18 and the core 12 of the candle 10 are fixed (FIG. 2), it is desirable that the upper end of the coloring member 20 be positioned higher than the upper end of the core 12.

The color forming member 20 may be any material that emits a color by burning it with a combustible material. The color forming member 20 generally contains burning nitrocellulose and a flame coloring material such as a metal that emits a special color, but is not limited thereto. The coloring member 20 may also serve as a special fireworks. In addition, a special fireworks (not shown) may be fixed to the core 12 separately from the coloring member 20. As the color forming member 20 of the present invention, a member that emits at least two or more colors is prepared. The more colors, the better.
Examples of the color generated by the color forming member 20 include, for example,
Numerous types such as blue, red, yellow, green, orange, pink, purple, brown, gold, and silver can be considered. The coloring member 20 for each color is bonded and fixed to the core 12 of each candle 10.

In the continuous ignition candle according to the present invention, a large number of candles 10 to which the coloring members 20 are fixed are sequentially connected by the squib 14, but the colors emitted from the adjacent candles 10 are different from each other. Is desirable. When there are a large number of colors of the color forming member 20, it is desirable that after all the colors make one cycle, the next many colors make one cycle.

When the candle 10 itself has a plurality of color types, the color of the candle 10 and the color of the coloring member 20 may be matched. For example, a coloring member 20 that emits blue or green is fixed to the blue candle 10, a coloring member 20 that emits red or pink is fixed to the red candle 10, and yellow, orange, gold, or silver is attached to the white candle 10. The coloring member 20 to be discharged is fixed. As you can see what kind of color comes out from the coloring member 20 by the combustion,
It is also conceivable to give an identifiable color to the appearance of the coloring member 20 itself. Thus, when a large number of candles 10 are sequentially connected to the squib 14, the order of colors for ignition can be easily selected.

As described above, in the present invention, the fire that travels along the squib 14 emits a special color from the coloring member 20 when each candle 10 is ignited. That is, since the color of the candle 10 ignited by the squib 14 is set to be different from the color of the previous candle 10, the viewer will be interested in what color will appear next, and will be bored. Nothing. By disposing the tubular coloring member 20 outside the core 12 of the candle 10, the coloring member 20 burns faster than the core 12 and the color of the coloring member 20 before the color of the flame of the core 12 which is a strong flame appears. Can be issued. Furthermore, by positioning the upper end of the coloring member 20 higher than the upper end of the core 12, the coloring member 20 can be burned faster than the core 12.

Both ends of the string-shaped connecting member 18 and the candle 1
By fixing the zero core 12, a space 22 for inserting the squib 14 into the connecting member 18 is formed. By inserting the squib 14 into the space 22, it is possible to adapt to the case where the positions and intervals of the candles 10 of the candlestick 16 are different. When fixing both ends of the communication member 18 and the core 12 of the candle 10, by inserting both ends of the communication member 18 into the cylindrical coloring member 20 and fixing them to the core 12 of the candle 10 simultaneously with an adhesive, Fixing work can be simplified.

In the above description, the space 22 for inserting the squib 14 into the communication member 18 is formed by bonding and fixing both ends of the communication member 18 to the core 12 of the candle 10. The communication member 18 having the space 22 may be bonded and fixed to the core 12 of the candle 10.

[0016]

As described above, according to the continuous ignition candle according to the present invention, the color of the flame can be changed to a color different from the color of the adjacent candles in the candles sequentially connected via the squib. It can be interesting to the person who sees what color will come out next, and can attract people's eyes.
