Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an incense burner installed near a tombstone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional incense burner B of this type is placed in front of a gravestone G stacked in about three stages. The conventional incense burner B is made of stone, and a storage space B1 of an appropriate shape is formed in front of a block-shaped stone block.
Then, a tray B2 which can be freely taken in and out of the storage space B1.
Are stored in a substantially horizontal state. At the time of visiting the grave, a bundle of incense sticks or a plurality of incense sticks is lit and placed on the tray B2 and set in the storage space B1. Smoke from the incense sticks drifts from the storage space B1 to the outside.

[0003]

Even when the bundle of incense is ignited and smoked and stored in the storage space B1, the incense may be ignited when the outside air temperature is high such as in summer. Incense burner B
Since is made of stone, the incense burner B may be broken if it is hit by a flaming flame. Therefore, the distance between the ceiling portion of the storage space B1 and the tray B2 cannot be reduced, and the incense burner B has a certain size. When the tombstone G is a relatively high one stacked as shown in FIG.
Even if is large enough, it does not hinder aesthetics,
When the gravepost is lowered, the incense burner stands out and gets in the way.

Further, as described above, the ceiling of the storage space B1 needs to be raised, so that the opening of the storage space B1 becomes large. Since the opening is formed on the front surface of the incense burner B, the inside of the storage space B1 is visible from the grave visitor, and there is a problem that it is unsightly if there is ash or dirt inside.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an incense burner which is compact, has no risk of being broken even if the incense housed therein is ignited, and is not visually unsightly. .

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided an incense burner comprising a metal cylinder capable of storing an ignited incense therein and capable of being held substantially horizontally. An eave portion for preventing rainwater or the like from entering the cylindrical body is formed at an upper edge portion of the opening at both ends of the cylindrical body.

Since the cylinder is made of metal, the cylinder is not damaged even if the incense contained in the cylinder ignites. In addition, since the eaves are formed, rainwater or the like does not enter the cylinder, and ash and dirt in the cylinder are hardly seen from the outside because of the eaves.

When the incense is stored in the cylinder, the incense is inserted through the front opening in a state where the cylinder is lifted and inclined so that the rear is lowered. It slips out of the opening. In such a case, one of the opening portions at both ends is used as an incense input port,
It is only necessary to form a drop-off preventing portion near the other end, which allows the smoke from the incense to pass through and prevents the incense from falling off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a censer according to the present invention, which is mounted on a holding stone 3 installed in front of a tombstone 2. The tombstone 2 shown in this figure is flat and very short, but may be the conventional tall tombstone shown in FIG. The holding stone 3 is made of a block-shaped stone block of an appropriate size, and has a groove 3 which is long in the front-rear direction on the upper surface.
1 is formed. And the incense burner 1 is arranged in the groove 31.

As shown in FIG. 2, the incense burner 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has an opening in front of the incense stick opening 11 when it is placed on the holding stone 3. The upper edge 11a of the incense inlet 11 protrudes from the lower edge 11b, and forms an eaves portion. Similarly, the rear opening 12 has an upper edge 12a protruding from a lower edge 12b, and similarly forms an eaves portion. Since the eaves are formed at both ends as described above, rainwater does not enter the inside of the incense burner 1 even when it rains.

When the incense burner T is inserted into the incense burner 1, the incense burner 1 is lifted from the holding stone 3, and the incense burner T is held obliquely so that the incense burner opening 11 is located above the opening 12, so that the ignited incense burner T It is inserted into the incense burner 1 through the incense stick opening 11.
However, the inserted incense stick T slides in the incense burner 1 and slides out of the opening 12 to the outside. Therefore, the opening 12
Is formed in the vicinity of. The drop-off prevention unit 13
Are fixed by welding or soldering a net material to the inner peripheral surface of the incense burner 1. Since the falling-off preventing portion 13 is made of a net material, it prevents the incense stick T from slipping out of the opening 12, but does not hinder the smoke S from the incense stick T coming out of the opening 12.

A pair of positioning projections 14 are fixed to the lower part of the incense burner 1. The distance between the two positioning projections 14 matches the size of the holding stone 3 in the front-back direction. When the incense burner 1 is placed in the groove 31 of the holding stone 3, the positioning of the censer 1 in the front-back direction is performed.

When the incense burner T is burned out and the ash inside the incense burner 1 and the unburned residue of the incense burner T are removed from the incense burner 1,
After confirming that the incense burner 1 has cooled, the incense burner 1 is taken out of the holding stone 3 and tilted with the incense infusion port 11 down or turned upside down, so that the ash and unburned residue inside are easily discharged from the incense burner 1.

The cylinder constituting the incense burner 1 is made of metal, but the kind of metal is not particularly limited. However, stainless steel is desirable from the viewpoint of durability and rust prevention. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the incense burner 1 may be coated.

In the above embodiment, the incense burner 1 was placed in the groove 31 of the holding stone 3, but as shown in FIG. It may be inserted into the through hole 41 and held by the holding stone 4. At that time, only one positioning protrusion 14 is fixed to the lower part of the incense burner 1, and when the incense burner 1 is inserted into the through hole 41, the positioning protrusion 1 is fixed.
The positioning is performed by contacting the holding stone 4 with the front surface of the holding stone 4.

In each of the above embodiments, the incense burner 1 is arranged so as to be longer in the front-rear direction, but may be arranged so as to be longer in the left-right direction. Although the cylindrical body is illustrated as the cylindrical body, a square cylinder such as a square cylinder may be used. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the holding stone for holding the incense burner 1 is made of stone, but may be formed of glass or other materials. By the way, in each of the above embodiments, the positioning projection 14 is fixed to the lower part of the incense burner 1. However, the positioning projection 14 does not necessarily need to be fixed, and when the incense burner 1 is placed on the holding stone 3, it is appropriately measured. Alternatively, the positioning may be performed.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the incense burner is formed of a metal cylinder, the height of the incense burner can be reduced. By lowering the height, the incense burner will not be damaged even if the incense is ignited.

When the incense stick is inserted into the incense burner, the incense stick does not slip out of the incense burner even if the incense burner is inclined.
