Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a candle with exchangeable burning part restrained from increase of temperature. <P>SOLUTION: A burning part housing recess part 4 formed on a candle-shaped axial body 2 is formed so as to have a gap serving as an air flow path between the burning part 3 and itself. When the burning part 3 is burned, the burning part 3 is cooled by the air taken into from an air inlet 5, made to flow to the burning part housing recess part 4 through a hollow part 6. By the above, the enlargement of flame and generation of lamp soot caused by the temperature increase due to the continuation of burning at the burning part 3, and an extreme shortening of burning time can be prevented. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、比較的大型のロウソクを模した形状のロウソク状軸体の上部にロウソクの燃焼部を交換可能に配した燃焼部交換式ロウソクに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
寺院や葬儀場の祭壇は家庭の仏壇に比して規模が大きいため、そこで使用されるロウソクも大きなものが用いられている。このような比較的大型のロウソクの燃焼可能時間は10〜20時間であるが、お勤めや葬儀の所要時間は1〜2時間であるため、ロウソクは多くの燃焼可能部分を残したまま廃棄されてしまう無駄があった。
【0003】
このような資源の無駄使いを抑えるため、ロウソクの外形を模した軸体の上部に設けた凹部内に小型のロウソクを収容し、使用の都度、小型のロウソクのみを交換できるようにしたローソク灯火照明体が知られている(特許文献1)。
【0004】
上記従来技術は、図4に示すように、ロウソクの形状を模した外形に燃焼カートリッジ保持部材を形成し、その上部に設けた凹部27内に、所要の燃焼可能時間を有するローソク燃焼体25をローソク燃焼体収容容器26内に収容した燃焼カートリッジ体24を配し、燃焼カートリッジ体24のみを使用の都度交換するように構成されている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
実登第3028708号公報(第2頁、図1)
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来技術に係るローソク灯火照明体では、燃焼カートリッジ体24は燃焼カートリッジ保持部材13に形成された凹部27内に収容されているため、燃焼カートリッジ体24が燃焼したときの熱が外部放散され難く、ローソク燃焼体収容容器26内での蝋の溶解が早くなる。ロウソクの蝋は燃焼に必要な量だけが溶融して燃焼芯に供給されるようにするのが望ましく、一定の大きさの炎を維持することができる。ところが、ローソク燃焼体収容容器26内に溶融した蝋の量が多くなり、それが高温になると、燃焼芯に毛細管現象によって吸い上げられる量が多くなって炎が大きくなり、大きな炎は温度上昇を加速させることになるので、さらに炎が大きくなる悪循環に至る。
【0007】
ロウソクの炎が異常に大きくなった状態は、蝋が完全燃焼しない状態であり、燃え残りの炭素を空気中に放出する状態、即ち油煙の発生となる。油煙は壁や天井、カーテン等に付着するので、室内を汚す原因となる。また、異常に大きくなった炎は、カーテンなどに燃え移る恐れがあり、火災の原因ともなり得る。
【0008】
また、高温の溶けた蝋は危険であり、万が一ロウソクが倒れたような場合に火傷を及ぼす恐れがある。また、燃焼カートリッジ保持部材23が合成樹脂や蝋によって形成されている場合、高温になったローソク燃焼体収容容器26によって燃焼カートリッジ保持部材23が溶融し、燃焼に至ると火災の危険性がより高くなる。
【0009】
また、ローソク燃焼体収容容器26に溶融した蝋の量が多くなり、それが高温になると、燃焼芯に毛細管現象によって吸い上げられる量が多くなり、所要の燃焼可能時間より早く燃焼しきってしまうことになり、予定より早くに炎が消えてしまう恐れがある。
【0010】
本発明は従来技術に係る上記課題に鑑みて創案されたもので、燃焼部が異常高温に至らないようにした燃焼部交換式ロウソクを提供することを目的とするものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明は、ロウソクの形状を模した外形形状に形成されたロウソク状軸体の上部に穿かれた凹部に、容器内にロウソクを収容した燃焼部が着脱可能に収容されてなる燃焼部交換式ロウソクであって、前記凹部は前記容器の外面との間に所要の間隙が形成される内形寸法に形成され、前記ロウソク状軸体の内部に下部に形成された空気取り入れ口から凹部の底に通じる空洞が形成されてなることを特徴とする。
【0012】
上記構成によれば、交換用燃焼部を燃焼させると上昇気流が発生するので、上昇する気流を補うように空気取り入れ口から流入した空気はロウソク状軸体内に形成された空洞を通り、凹部と容器との間に形成された間隙を通ってロウソクの燃焼部分に供給される。この空気流通により交換用燃焼部の周面は冷却されるので、交換用燃焼部の温度が異常上昇することがなく、高温により必要以上に蝋が溶融することに伴う不完全燃焼や大きな炎の発生がなく、安定した燃焼により所定の燃焼時間が得られる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は、実施形態に係る燃焼部交換式ロウソク1の外観形状を示すもので、外観上は比較的大型の和ロウソクの形態を呈しているが、実際にロウソクとして燃焼する燃焼部3は交換可能で、ロウソク本体であるロウソク状軸体2は汚れや損傷が生じない限りは恒久的に使用できるようにして、ロウソクの無駄な消費を防ぐことができるようにしている。
【0014】
上記燃焼部交換式ロウソク1は、図2に示すように、比較的大型のロウソクの外観形状を模したロウソク状軸体2と、このロウソク状軸体2の上部に形成された凹部4に着脱可能に収容される燃焼部3とを備えて構成されている。
【0015】
前記ロウソク状軸体2は、金属又は合成樹脂等によって形成され、上部に燃焼部3を収容する凹部4が形成され、下部に燭台30に設けられたロウソク立針31を通す取付穴15と、空気流入口5とが形成され、前記凹部4の底と空気流入口5との間は、ロウソク状軸体2の内部に形成された空洞6により連通されている。
【0016】
また、前記燃焼部3は、金属などの不燃性材料によって形成された容器9内に、中心に燃焼芯21を配して蝋20を所定形状に成形したロウソク10を収容したもので、ロウソク状軸体2の凹部4内に着脱可能に収容される。この燃焼部3は、所要の燃焼時間が得られる量の蝋20が収容できるように容器9の直径及び深さが決定され、それに応じて凹部4の内径及び深さが設定される。
【0017】
前記凹部4は、収容した前記燃焼部3の容器9の外面との間に所要間隔の間隙が形成される寸法形状に形成され、内周面には複数箇所に突起部8が形成され、凹部4内に収容した燃焼部3の容器9に突起部8が当接することにより、凹部4の中央部に燃焼部3が配置され、その周囲に所要間隔の間隙が形成されるようにしている。また、凹部4の底部側には容器9の底面に部分的に当接して燃焼部3を受ける燃焼部受け7が配設され、燃焼部3の底面と凹部4の底面との間に所要間隔の間隙が形成されるようにしている。
【0018】
前記燃焼部受け7は、ロウソク状軸体2を樹脂成形によって形成した場合には、図示するような複数本の棒を平行あるいは井桁にロウソク状軸体2と一体に形成することが可能であるが、図3に示すように、別部材として井桁形状を形成した燃焼部受け7aとして、凹部4の底面に配置しても同様の構造が得られる。
【0019】
上記構成になる燃焼部交換式ロウソク1の燃焼部3を燃焼させると、燃焼部3上には上昇気流が発生するので、上昇する空気を補うように空気流入口5から流入した空気が空洞6内を通り、燃焼部3と凹部4との間の間隙を通じて燃焼部3に供給される。燃焼部3に燃焼が生じている間には容器9の底面及び周面に空気の流れが形成されて冷却されるので、容器9及びそれに接する蝋20の温度上昇は抑えられる。従って、従来構成のように燃焼の継続と共に燃焼部3が温度上昇して蝋20の溶融が加速され、必要以上に大きな炎が発生したり、不完全燃焼に伴う油煙の発生や、燃焼可能時間が極端に短くなることがなく、燃焼部3は温度上昇が少なく、安定した炎での燃焼が維持される。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明の通り本発明によれば、燃焼部を交換可能とした燃焼部交換式ロウソクにおいて、空気流路の形成により燃焼部の温度上昇が抑えられるので、必要以上に大きな炎が発生したり、不完全燃焼に伴う油煙の発生や、燃焼可能時間が極端に短くなることがなく、燃焼部3は温度上昇が少なく、安定した炎での燃焼が維持される。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a burning part exchange type candle in which a burning part of a candle is exchangeably arranged on an upper part of a candle shaped shaft shaped like a relatively large candle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Altars in temples and funeral homes are larger than household altars, and large candles are used there. The burnable time of such a relatively large candle is 10 to 20 hours, but the time required for work or funeral is 1 to 2 hours, so the candle is discarded with many burnable parts left. There was waste.
[0003]
In order to suppress such wasteful use of resources, a small candle is housed in a recess provided at the top of a shaft that imitates the external shape of a candle, so that each time the candle is used, only the small candle can be replaced. An illuminating body is known (Patent Document 1).
[0004]
In the prior art, as shown in FIG. 4, a combustion cartridge holding member is formed in an outer shape imitating a candle shape, and a candle burning body 25 having a required combustible time is provided in a concave portion 27 provided on the upper portion thereof. A combustion cartridge body 24 housed in a candle combustion body housing container 26 is provided, and only the combustion cartridge body 24 is replaced each time it is used.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3028708 (page 2, FIG. 1)
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the candlelight illuminating body according to the above prior art, since the combustion cartridge body 24 is housed in the recess 27 formed in the combustion cartridge holding member 13, the heat when the combustion cartridge body 24 burns is hardly radiated to the outside. Thus, the melting of the wax in the candle combustion body container 26 is accelerated. Desirably, only the amount of candle wax required for combustion is melted and supplied to the wick, so that a flame of a certain size can be maintained. However, the amount of wax melted in the candle combustion container 26 increases, and when the temperature rises, the amount of the wax absorbed by the combustion wick increases due to the capillary phenomenon, so that the flame becomes large, and the large flame accelerates the temperature rise. This leads to a vicious cycle in which the flames get larger.
[0007]
The state in which the candle flame is abnormally large is a state in which the wax is not completely burned, and a state in which unburned carbon is released into the air, that is, oil smoke is generated. Oily smoke adheres to walls, ceilings, curtains, etc., and causes indoor pollution. Also, the abnormally large flame may burn to a curtain or the like, which may cause a fire.
[0008]
Also, hot melted wax is dangerous and may cause burns should the candle fall. Further, when the combustion cartridge holding member 23 is formed of synthetic resin or wax, the combustion cartridge holding member 23 is melted by the high-temperature candle combustion body container 26, and the risk of fire is higher when the combustion is reached. Become.
[0009]
In addition, the amount of wax melted in the candle burning body container 26 increases, and when the temperature becomes high, the amount that is sucked up by the capillarity in the combustion wick increases, and the burning can be completed earlier than the required combustible time. The fire may go out sooner than expected.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the related art, and has an object to provide a replaceable burning part candle in which a burning part does not reach an abnormally high temperature.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a combustion unit in which a candle is housed in a container in a recess formed in an upper part of a candle-like shaft formed in an outer shape imitating a candle shape. The burning part replacement type candle is formed, wherein the recess is formed to have an internal shape in which a required gap is formed with the outer surface of the container, and is formed at a lower portion inside the candle-like shaft body. A cavity is formed from the air intake to the bottom of the recess.
[0012]
According to the above configuration, when the replacement combustion portion is burned, an ascending airflow is generated, so that the air that has flowed in from the air intake so as to supplement the ascending airflow passes through the cavity formed in the candle-shaped shaft body, and has a concave portion. It is supplied to the burning portion of the candle through a gap formed between the container and the container. The air circulation cools the peripheral surface of the replacement combustion part, so that the temperature of the replacement combustion part does not rise abnormally, and incomplete combustion and large flames caused by melting of the wax more than necessary due to the high temperature A predetermined combustion time can be obtained by stable combustion without generation.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an external shape of a replaceable burning part candle 1 according to the embodiment, which is in the form of a relatively large Japanese candle in appearance, but the burning part 3 which actually burns as a candle is replaced. It is possible to use the candle-shaped shaft body 2 as a candle main body permanently as long as it is not stained or damaged, so that wasteful consumption of the candle can be prevented.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 2, the burning part exchangeable candle 1 is attached to and detached from a candle-like shaft 2 simulating the external shape of a relatively large candle, and a recess 4 formed on the upper part of the candle-like shaft 2. And a combustion unit 3 that is accommodated as possible.
[0015]
The candle-shaped shaft body 2 is formed of metal or synthetic resin or the like, the upper part thereof is formed with a concave part 4 for accommodating the combustion part 3, and the lower part thereof is provided with a mounting hole 15 for passing a candle standing needle 31 provided in a candlestick 30; An air inlet 5 is formed, and the bottom of the recess 4 and the air inlet 5 are communicated with each other by a cavity 6 formed inside the candle shaft 2.
[0016]
The burning portion 3 is a container 9 made of a non-combustible material such as a metal, in which a candle 10 in which a combustion core 21 is disposed at the center and a wax 20 is formed into a predetermined shape is accommodated. It is detachably accommodated in the recess 4 of the shaft 2. In the combustion section 3, the diameter and depth of the container 9 are determined so that an amount of wax 20 capable of obtaining a required combustion time can be stored, and the inner diameter and depth of the recess 4 are set accordingly.
[0017]
The concave portion 4 is formed in a dimension shape such that a gap of a required interval is formed between the concave portion 4 and the outer surface of the container 9 of the housed combustion portion 3, and a plurality of protrusions 8 are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4. When the projection 8 comes into contact with the container 9 of the combustion part 3 housed in the inside 4, the combustion part 3 is arranged at the center of the concave part 4 and a required gap is formed around it. Further, on the bottom side of the recess 4, there is disposed a combustion section receiver 7 which partially contacts the bottom face of the container 9 and receives the combustion section 3, and a required distance between the bottom face of the combustion section 3 and the bottom face of the recess 4. Is formed.
[0018]
When the candle-shaped shaft 2 is formed by resin molding, the combustion portion receiver 7 can be formed integrally with the candle-shaped shaft 2 with a plurality of rods as illustrated in a parallel or cross-beam. However, as shown in FIG. 3, a similar structure can be obtained by disposing the combustion part receiver 7 a formed as a cross member as a separate member on the bottom surface of the recess 4.
[0019]
When the burning part 3 of the replaceable burning part candle 1 having the above structure is burned, an upward airflow is generated on the burning part 3, so that the air flowing in from the air inlet 5 is supplied to the cavity 6 so as to supplement the rising air. The air is supplied to the combustion unit 3 through the gap between the combustion unit 3 and the recess 4. While combustion is occurring in the combustion part 3, an air flow is formed on the bottom surface and the peripheral surface of the container 9 to cool it, so that the temperature rise of the container 9 and the wax 20 in contact with it is suppressed. Therefore, as in the conventional configuration, as the combustion continues, the temperature of the combustion section 3 rises to accelerate the melting of the wax 20, generating an unnecessarily large flame, generating oily smoke due to incomplete combustion, and the possible combustion time. Does not become extremely short, the temperature rise of the combustion part 3 is small, and the combustion with the stable flame is maintained.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, in a combustion part replaceable candle in which the combustion part is replaceable, an increase in the temperature of the combustion part is suppressed by the formation of the air flow path, so that an unnecessarily large flame is generated. In addition, the generation of oily smoke due to incomplete combustion and the extremely short combustible time do not occur, and the temperature rise of the combustion section 3 is small, and the combustion with the stable flame is maintained.
