Description

この発明は、お墓等に設けられたロウソク立てのロウ受けに関する。 The present invention relates to a candle holder for a candle stand provided in a grave or the like.

従来、お墓や神社、お寺、又は家庭での各種行事にロウソクが使用されている。このロウソクは、使用しているとロウソクのロウが溶けて垂れてくる。この垂れたロウは、使用後に燃え残りとしてロウソクを立てた台や周辺に残り、固着する。お墓等では、次に使うまでに、固着したロウをへらや先の尖った物で突き剥がすなどして取り除いており、非常に面倒なものである。また、アルミホイルなどの金属箔によりロウ受け具を包むように覆い、そこにロウソクを立てて使用する場合もある。この場合は、使用後、ロウ受け具を覆っていたアルミホイルを取り除き、アルミホイルに固着したロウとともに処分している。 Traditionally, candles have been used for graves, shrines, temples, and various events at home. If this candle is used, the candle wax melts and hangs down. The dripping wax remains on the table and the periphery of the candle as a burning residue after use and sticks. In graves, the sticking wax is removed with a spatula or pointed object before it is used next time, which is very troublesome. In some cases, a metal foil such as an aluminum foil is covered with a candle holder so that a candle is placed upright. In this case, after use, the aluminum foil covering the brace is removed and disposed of together with the wax fixed to the aluminum foil.

その外、特許文献１では、ロウを受ける器具をロウソクの使用前に、ロウソク立てなどの受け具に装着するものが提案されている。さらに、特許文献２では、ロウソクを立てるピンに特殊な器具を取り付けてロウソクから垂れ固着したロウを掻き取ることが提案されている。
特開平０９−２５２９２３号公報特開平０７−７３７２９号公報 In addition, Patent Document 1 proposes that a device for receiving a wax is mounted on a holder such as a candle stand before the candle is used. Further, Patent Document 2 proposes that a special instrument is attached to a pin for standing a candle and scrapes the wax stuck and fixed from the candle.
JP 09-252923 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-73729

上記従来の技術の、固着したロウをへらや先の尖った物で突き剥がす場合、ロウ受けに固着したロウを取り除く際に、必要以上に力を加えすぎて、ロウ受けを傷つけたり壊したりする可能性があり、怪我をする恐れもある。また、苦労して剥がしても、取り残しが発生しやすいものである。一方、アルミホイルなどを用いる方法では、ロウ受けを金属箔で覆う作業が面倒であり、ロウソクを挿着するピンの尖った先により怪我をする可能性があり、見栄えもよいものではない。 When the fixed wax is peeled off with a spatula or pointed object according to the above-mentioned conventional technology, when removing the wax fixed to the wax receiver, excessive force is applied to damage or break the wax receiver. There is a risk of injury. In addition, even if it is difficult to remove it, it is easy to leave behind. On the other hand, in the method using aluminum foil or the like, the work of covering the candle holder with metal foil is troublesome, and there is a possibility that the tip of the pin into which the candle is inserted may be injured, so that it does not look good.

また、特許文献１に開示されたものは、一般に行われているアルミホイルなどを使用する方法より、容易にロウを除去できるが、見栄えをよくするため器具の厚さが薄く、綺麗にロウを除去するには十分な強度を得ることが難しい。また、ロウが固着した受け具は、ロウと一緒に処分するため、ゴミの量を増やすことになる問題がある。一方、特許文献２に開示されたものは装置が複雑であり、例えば、お墓のロウソク立て等の小さなロウ受けに合うようなものを作るには、手間とコストがかかるものとなってしまう。さらに、ピンから摺動しながら固着したロウを掻き取るため、ピンを傷めてしまう可能性があるし、装置に固着したロウを取り除く作業が面倒である。 Moreover, although what was disclosed by patent document 1 can remove a wax easily rather than the method of using the aluminum foil etc. which are generally performed, in order to improve appearance, the thickness of an instrument is thin and a brazing is carried out neatly. It is difficult to obtain sufficient strength for removal. In addition, since the receiver to which the wax is fixed is disposed together with the wax, there is a problem that the amount of dust is increased. On the other hand, the device disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a complicated apparatus. For example, it is time-consuming and expensive to make a device that fits a small candle holder such as a candle holder of a grave. Furthermore, since the wax stuck while sliding from the pin is scraped off, the pin may be damaged, and the operation of removing the wax stuck to the apparatus is troublesome.

この発明は、上記従来の技術に鑑みて成されたもので、ロウ受けやピンに固着したロウを簡単にしかも綺麗に取ることができ、余計なゴミがでないロウソクのロウ受けを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional technology, and can provide a candle holder that can easily and beautifully remove the solder fixed to the solder receiver or the pin and is free of extra dust. Objective.

この発明は、中心部にピンを有したロウソク立てに設けられ、このロウソク立てに立てられたロウソクの溶けたロウを受けるロウ受けであって、前記ロウ受け中心部に形成され前記ロウソク立てのピンが挿通する貫通穴と、前記ロウ受けの裏面側に一体的に設けられ前記ピンが挿通される支持部と、この支持部を前記ピンに対して移動可能に且つ所定位置で固定する係止手段とを備えたロウソクのロウ受けである。 The present invention provides a candle holder that is provided in a candle holder having a pin at the center and receives a melted wax of the candle raised on the candle holder, the candle holder being formed at the center of the candle receiver. A through hole through which the pin is inserted, a support portion that is integrally provided on the back surface side of the wax receiver and through which the pin is inserted, and a locking means that is movable with respect to the pin and is fixed at a predetermined position. It is a candle holder with a candle.

前記ピンは、前記ロウ受けの貫通穴と接する箇所は、前記貫通穴の径とほぼ等しい径の円柱状にあり、前記貫通穴の上方の一部は、横断面が異形状に形成されている。 The pin is in a cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the through hole at a portion in contact with the through hole of the solder receiver, and a part of the upper portion of the through hole is formed in an irregular shape in cross section. .

また、前記係止手段は、前記貫通穴の下方の前記ピンの側面に形成された突起部と、前記支持部に形成され前記突起部に係合する切り込みとから成り、この切り込みは前記支持部の下端から垂直方向に形成された垂直部と、この垂直部の上部から側方に切り込まれているとともに僅かに下方に傾斜した傾斜部とから成る。 The locking means includes a protrusion formed on a side surface of the pin below the through hole, and a notch formed in the support portion and engaged with the protrusion. The notch is the support portion. A vertical portion formed in the vertical direction from the lower end of the vertical portion, and an inclined portion that is cut laterally from the upper portion of the vertical portion and is slightly inclined downward.

この発明のロウソクのロウ受けによれば、ロウソクのロウ受けやロウソクを挿通させるピンに固着したロウを簡単にしかも綺麗に取ることができ、ロウがロウ受けから綺麗に剥離するため、余分なゴミがでないものである。 According to the candle holder of the present invention, it is possible to easily and cleanly remove the candle fixed to the candle holder and the pin through which the candle is inserted. Is not.

以下、この発明のロウソクのロウ受けの一実施形態について、図１〜図９に基づいて説明する。この実施形態は、図１に示すように、お墓などに設けられたロウソク立て６であって、ロウソク４を立てるためのピン８が石などで作られた土台１０に立設されている。立設したピン８は、土台１０からの突出部分１２が円柱状をしており、ピン８の先端側は、長手方向に細い円錐状に成形され、先端は僅かに丸められている。土台１０から突出したピン８の円柱状の側面には、一対の突起部１６が設けられ、円柱部と円錐部の境界部分は、ピン８の水平断面が四角形を成すように異形状の四角柱部１８が成形されている。 An embodiment of a candle holder according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a candle stand 6 provided on a grave or the like, and a pin 8 for standing the candle 4 is erected on a base 10 made of stone or the like. In the upright pin 8, the protruding portion 12 from the base 10 has a columnar shape, the tip side of the pin 8 is formed into a thin conical shape in the longitudinal direction, and the tip is slightly rounded. A pair of protrusions 16 are provided on the cylindrical side surface of the pin 8 protruding from the base 10, and the boundary between the cylindrical portion and the conical portion is a quadrangular prism having an irregular shape so that the horizontal section of the pin 8 forms a quadrangle. Part 18 is molded.

ピン８には貫通穴２０を有した皿状のロウ受け２が挿着されており、そのロウ受け２の支持部２２には切り込み２４が設けられている。この切り込み２４は、支持部２２の下端から垂直に切り込まれた垂直部２４ａと、この垂直部２４ａの上部から側方に切り込まれているとともに僅かに下方に傾斜した傾斜部２４ｂとから成る。そして、この切り込み２４に、ピン８の突起部分１６が嵌合している。 A dish-shaped solder receiver 2 having a through hole 20 is inserted into the pin 8, and a notch 24 is provided in a support portion 22 of the solder receiver 2. The notch 24 includes a vertical part 24a vertically cut from the lower end of the support part 22, and an inclined part 24b which is cut from the upper part of the vertical part 24a to the side and is slightly inclined downward. . Then, the protruding portion 16 of the pin 8 is fitted into the notch 24.

この実施形態におけるロウソク４のロウ受け２の使用方法は、まず、図４に示すように、土台１０に設けられたピン８にロウ受け２を挿着し、ロウ受け２の切り込み２４に突起部１６を合わせて、突起部１６が垂直部２４ａから傾斜部２４ｂの端部に位置するように回転する。次に、ロウソク４をピン８に刺して挿着する。そして、図５のようにロウソク４を燃やすと、垂れたロウ２６がロウ受けに溜まる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the candle holder 2 of the candle 4 in this embodiment is first inserted into the pin 8 provided on the base 10, and the protrusion 24 is inserted into the notch 24 of the candle holder 2. 16 are rotated so that the protrusion 16 is positioned from the vertical portion 24a to the end of the inclined portion 24b. Next, the candle 4 is inserted into the pin 8 and inserted. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the candle 4 is burned, the dripping wax 26 accumulates in the wax receiver.

ロウソク４を燃やしたあとは、図６のように、ロウソク４を取り外し、ロウ受け２を支持部２２の切り込み２４にピン８の突起１６が沿うようにロウ受け２を回転させる。すると、図２に示すように、ロウ受け２に溜まったロウ２６は、図３のようにピン８の四角柱部１８によりピン８との接触部分が破壊され剥離する。さらに、ロウ受け２の回転により、ロウ受け２が傾斜部２４ｂに沿って僅かに下降するとともに、ロウ２６は、ピン８の円錐部により保持され、ロウ受け２がロウ２６から離れる。これにより、ロウ受け２内のロウ２６は何処にも付着していない状態となる。最後に、図７に示すように、ロウ受け２をピン８から取り外し、剥離したロウ２６を捨てる。 After burning the candle 4, as shown in FIG. 6, the candle 4 is removed, and the candle receiver 2 is rotated so that the protrusion 16 of the pin 8 is aligned with the notch 24 of the support portion 22. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the portion of the solder 26 accumulated in the solder receiver 2 is peeled off at the contact portion with the pin 8 by the rectangular column portion 18 of the pin 8 as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the rotation of the solder receiver 2 causes the solder receiver 2 to slightly descend along the inclined portion 24 b, while the solder 26 is held by the conical portion of the pin 8, and the solder receiver 2 is separated from the solder 26. As a result, the row 26 in the row receiver 2 is not attached anywhere. Finally, as shown in FIG. 7, the solder receiver 2 is removed from the pin 8, and the peeled solder 26 is discarded.

この実施形態におけるロウソク４のロウ受け２によれば、ロウソク４から垂れてロウ受け２に溜まったロウ２６を、容易且つ綺麗に分離させることができ、溜まったロウ２６だけを捨てることが可能である。そのほか、余分なゴミが発生しないため、ゴミの削減にもなる。さらに、ピン８にロウ受け２の支持部２２を被せるように挿着するため、風などに飛ばされにくく、しっかり挿着できる。 According to the candle receiver 2 of the candle 4 in this embodiment, the wax 26 hanging from the candle 4 and accumulated in the candle receiver 2 can be separated easily and cleanly, and only the accumulated wax 26 can be discarded. is there. In addition, since no extra trash is generated, it also reduces trash. Further, since the pin 8 is inserted so as to cover the support portion 22 of the solder receiver 2, it is difficult to be blown away by wind or the like and can be firmly inserted.

また、ロウ受け２を挿着するピン８の形状は、図８のように、ロウ受け２の上方に位置する部分の形状を、ピン８の先端からロウ受け２の底部までテーパ状としても良く、これによりロウ２６のピン８からの剥離がより容易になる。 The shape of the pin 8 into which the solder receiver 2 is inserted may be tapered from the tip of the pin 8 to the bottom of the solder receiver 2 as shown in FIG. This makes it easier to peel the wax 26 from the pin 8.

このロウソク４のロウ受け２は、図８に示すように、ロウ受け２をピン８に取り付ける係止手段であるロウ受け２の土台取付部分が、水平方向に分割されている。ロウ受け２側の支持部３４の底部には複数の突起３０が設けられ、突起３０と嵌合する凹部３２が、土台１０に固定された取付部３６に設けられている。支持部３４及び取付部３６の中心部には、ピン８の挿通孔が形成され、ロウ受け２を挿通して装着する。 In the candle receiver 2 of the candle 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the base mounting portion of the candle receiver 2, which is a locking means for attaching the wax receiver 2 to the pin 8, is divided in the horizontal direction. A plurality of protrusions 30 are provided on the bottom of the support portion 34 on the solder receiver 2 side, and a recess 32 that fits with the protrusion 30 is provided in an attachment portion 36 fixed to the base 10. An insertion hole for the pin 8 is formed at the center of the support portion 34 and the attachment portion 36, and the solder receiver 2 is inserted and attached.

この場合、ロウソク４を立てるときは、ロウ受け２の突起３０は取付部３６の上面に当接させておく。そして、ロウ受け２内のロウを取り除く際には、ロウ受け２を回転させて突起３０を凹部３２内に嵌合させ、ロウ受け２を僅かに下げる。このときロウは、ピン８のテーパ状部分に付着しており、ロウはピン８に付いて残る。これにより、ロウ受け２の内面とロウの縁が切られる。この後、ロウ受け２を引き上げることにより、容易にロウがピン８から外れ、捨てることができる。 In this case, when the candle 4 is erected, the protrusion 30 of the solder receiver 2 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the attachment portion 36. When removing the solder in the solder receiver 2, the solder receiver 2 is rotated to fit the protrusion 30 into the recess 32, and the solder receiver 2 is slightly lowered. At this time, the wax adheres to the tapered portion of the pin 8, and the wax remains attached to the pin 8. As a result, the inner surface of the solder receiver 2 and the edge of the solder are cut. Thereafter, by pulling up the solder receiver 2, the solder can be easily detached from the pin 8 and discarded.

また、ロウ受け２の底と接するピン８の側面形状や断面形状は、適宜選択可能なものであり、図９に示すように、ロウ受け２の底に位置するピン８の側面に、ロウ受けの底と面一な段差面２８が成形されていてもよい。これにより、ロウ受け２を下げた際にも確実にロウがピン８に付いて残る。さらに、ピン８のロウ受け２内の形状を、横断面が真円ではない楕円や、多角形、その他異形状にすることにより、回転によるロウの剥離が可能となり、その形状は適宜設定し得る。 Further, the side shape and the cross-sectional shape of the pin 8 in contact with the bottom of the solder receiver 2 can be selected as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 9, the solder receiver is placed on the side surface of the pin 8 positioned at the bottom of the solder receiver 2. A stepped surface 28 that is flush with the bottom of the substrate may be formed. As a result, even when the solder receiver 2 is lowered, the solder remains reliably attached to the pin 8. Furthermore, by making the shape of the pin 8 in the solder receiver 2 an ellipse, polygon, or other different shape whose cross section is not a perfect circle, the wax can be peeled off by rotation, and the shape can be set as appropriate. .

なお、この発明のロウソクのロウ受けの材質及び大きさ、突起の数は、使用するロウソクの大きさや使用環境や用途に合わせて適宜選択可能なものである。 The material and size of the candle holder of the candle of the present invention, and the number of projections can be appropriately selected according to the size of the candle to be used, the use environment, and the application.
