Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a assisting tool for burning a candle which prevents dripping molten wax and the candle with the tool. <P>SOLUTION: The assisting tool comprises: a short cylinder to attach to a candle, opening both ends and having an inside diameter which does not allow the tool to go down by itself due to its own weight when the surface of its internal circumference is in contact with the outer circumference of the candle; and an elongated part from the cylinder of which diameter is gradually narrowed toward the top end of the cylinder so that it gets caught on the circumference of the top end of the candle and forms a pool of wax. A candle with this tool on the top is also provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a candle combustion assisting tool and a candle with the same combustion assisting tool, which prevent dripping of molten wax.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art This type of candle, which is conventionally known,
The heat of combustion of the core provided in the center melts the wax in the vicinity of the core and the molten wax is burned by permeating the melted wax into the core by a capillary phenomenon. Instead of being used for, a considerable amount of wax will drip down the body of the candle. This is something we often experience on a daily basis. Not only is this uneconomical, it is also aesthetically unpleasant, especially when one considers the recent trend of using candles as one of the interior designs, dripping of molten wax should be prevented as much as possible. desirable.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a novel combustion aid for a candle and a combustion aid for the same, which prevents the molten wax from dripping and stabilizes the flame. The purpose is to provide a candle with an aid.

[0003]

In order to achieve the above object, a candle combustion assisting tool according to a first aspect of the present invention has an inner diameter which does not descend by the force of its own weight when the inner peripheral surface is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the candle body. A candle insertion part having a short cylindrical shape with the upper and lower ends open, and a locking to the outer circumference of the candle top, which is extended at the upper edge of the candle insertion part as the shape in which the inner diameter gradually decreases. And an extension that fulfills the function and the function of forming a wax pool.

A candle with a combustion assisting tool according to a second aspect of the present invention is such that the candle combustion assisting tool according to the first aspect is attached to the upper end portion of the candle body.

Similarly, a candle with a combustion aid according to a third aspect of the present invention is such that the portion surrounding the wick is recessed on the top surface of the candle body.

Similarly, a candle with a combustion assisting tool according to a fourth aspect is configured such that the end portion of the wick shortened by combustion collapses by itself near the burning and is buried in the molten wax existing in the wax reservoir. The candle combustion assisting tool according to claim 1 is attached to the upper end.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiment shown in the drawings has a short cylindrical shape of which the upper and lower ends are open, and the inner peripheral surface of the candle body 1 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the candle body 1 and is not lowered by its own weight. The candle insertion portion 2, and the function of locking the candle top end outer peripheral portion and the function of forming the candle accumulation portion 3 which are extended at the upper end edge of the candle insertion portion 2 as the shape in which the inner peripheral diameter is gradually reduced. A combustion aid 5 for a candle composed of the extended portion 4 is formed.

The candle combustion assisting tool 5 thus constructed is attached to the upper end to complete the candle with the combustion assisting tool.

Then, the portion surrounding the wick 6 on the top surface of the candle body 1 is recessed so that the upper end 9 of the wick 6 is lower than the top surface. Since the core is lowered in this way, the core tip is not damaged during product distribution, which is preferable.

The end portion 7 of the core 6 shortened by combustion
Is collapsed by itself near the burnout and is buried in the molten wax 8 existing in the wax reservoir 3. That is, the flame 10 is automatically extinguished when the core is shortened, which is extremely safe.

[0011]

In the candle according to the present invention, when the molten wax is consumed by the combustion, the liquid level of the molten wax 8 in the wax reservoir 3 is lowered, the flame 10 is also lowered accordingly, and the candle 10 is lowered by the descent of the flame 10. The unmelted portion of the main body 1 up to now is melted, and the depth of the space above the liquid surface in the wax reservoir 3 becomes deeper. Then, when the depth becomes deep to some extent (see FIG. 2), the user pushes down the combustion assisting tool 5 (see FIG. 3). Since this pushing-down operation can be performed by the guidance by the non-melting portion, it can be lowered straight, which is advantageous.

Thus, as the top of the candle body 1 is gradually melted and consumed with the lapse of time, and the molten wax is consumed, the combustion assisting tool 5 is stepwise guided by the non-melting portion. It can be used by being lowered without causing bending, and drooling of molten wax can be completely prevented.

As described above, since the candle body does not bend and the wax does not swell, the original beauty of the candle is not impaired.

Further, it is possible to make the combustion assisting tool 5 transparent so that the internal flame 10 can be seen through, and to secure a sufficient luminous intensity.
The aesthetics of the overall design can also be made good.

As another embodiment, various design cuts may be made on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion assisting tool 5 so that the light transmitted through the outer peripheral surface creates a fantastic atmosphere.
Alternatively, the entire outer peripheral surface or a part thereof may be partially colored to produce colored light.

Further, as another embodiment, the combustion assisting tool 5
The material may be formed of glass, ceramic or the like instead of metal or plastic.

[0017]

Since the present invention is as described above, it is possible to reliably prevent the molten wax from dripping, and the combustion assisting tool 5 is manually and stepwise guided by the non-melting portion. It can be used by lowering the candle body without bending it, it can reliably prevent the candle body from bending, and it has an excellent effect such as keeping the aesthetic feeling during use. .
