Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wind-blown rotatable candle holder mounted on a tombstone.

Conventionally, there are candle holders for tombstones, but there is no wind-blowing rotating candle holder as shown in the present invention.

In general, candles and incense sticks are ignited when visiting graves, but it takes time to ignite when the wind blows, and the candles may extinguish, so windshields are used as windbreaks. For example, there is a tombstone equipped with a special metal fitting and a pin, and after inserting the lower part of the candle into the pin and standing it up, the candle wick is ignited, and the transparent cylinder is quickly inserted into the special metal fitting and fixed. Ordinary candle holders have a main part made of stone, a window is provided, a metal frame is provided in the window, and glass is fitted into the metal frame. If it is not about 100R, a gap will be created.
However, with this conventional type, if the wind blows when the candle is ignited, it is difficult to avoid the wind, and it often takes time to ignite.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention has been devised to provide a new and useful means that enables shielding from the wind when the candle is ignited, and is also excellent in dealing with the wind after the candle is ignited.

As means for solving the problems, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, a base for fixing and erecting on the tombstone, a main body having a cut portion is fixed on the base, this cut portion has a curved portion, and the main body located on the opposite side of the cut portion is fixed. An exhaust port is provided in the upper part, a crown fixed to the upper surface of the main body is provided, a hollow rotating body is provided in the main body and is rotatable with respect to the main body, and a decorative gap is provided at the side of the rotating body. At the same time, an ignition space is provided at a location other than the decorative space of the rotating body, a candle holder is erected and fixed in the base, a candle holder is provided on the candle holder, and the rotating body is rotated. The stop position is made selectable so that the position of the rotating body when the candle is ignited and the position of the rotating body after ignition can be selected. The present invention is a wind-blown rotatable candle holder for gravestones having the above configuration.

1. Since the main body and rotating body surround the candle flame, there is no risk of the candle flame being extinguished by the wind.
2. By setting the front face of the rotating body as the decorative space and the rear face as the cut-away portion, the rotating body is rotated to make the cut-out portion of the back face the front face, so that the candle can be easily ignited and the decorative space of the rotating body is set as the normal viewing position. , good visibility can be obtained. In addition, if there is wind and rain, after setting the candle from the back side, rotate it back to the front, and insert a narrow mouth ignition tool (such as a commercially available so-called Chakkaman) from the decorative gap to ignite it. can be prevented.
3. By providing drain holes in the base or the like, it is possible to naturally discharge rainwater that has entered the interior.
4. By forming a curved surface on the front surface of the main body, wind blowing into the candle flame can be alleviated and good visibility can be obtained.
5. Constructed using stone as the main material, it is possible to use it for a long time due to its weather resistance by setting it firmly on the tombstone, eliminating the need to bring a windshield for candles every time you visit a grave, and preventing theft. can do.
6. Ordinary candle holders use ready-made products such as hardware and glass so that they are not affected by wind and rain, so the type of candle holder is limited. You are free to choose a suitable design.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base. A circular concave portion 2 is provided in the upper center of the prismatic stone material, and a semicircular concave portion 3 is provided in a straight line from one side surface to the opposite side surface at the lower end of the prismatic stone material. A pair of drainage holes 4 extending from the lower surface of the recess to the semi-circular recess are formed in the base.
5 is the main body, and is formed by cutting a part from the upper edge to the lower edge of the side surface of a prism formed of stone into a predetermined shape described later. Also, an exhaust port 6 is drilled at an appropriate place on the opposite side of the excised portion. Reference numeral 7 denotes a prism-shaped crown, the lower part of which has a horizontal surface, and in the center of this horizontal surface, there is a rotating body inserting portion 8 which is circular in plan view. A hole 9 is provided for inserting the upper part of the.
A main body is secured to the upper surface of the base, and a crown is secured to the upper surface of the main body to form a non-rotating portion. 10 is a rotating body. The rotating body is a cylindrical body with an open upper part and an open lower part made of stone. An ignition gap 12 consisting of parts is formed. Also, a hole 13 is formed in the upper center of the rotating body.

Numeral 14 is a candlestick holder, which is a cylindrical body having a stepped portion with a different outer diameter on the upper side. Holes are drilled in the center upper part and the center lower part of the candle holder. A metal candle holder 15 having a pin in its center is inserted into the hole in the upper center. It is also possible to add a cylindrical body on the candle holder and take it out of the cylinder to ignite it.
Also, one of the rotating metal fittings 20 (inner metal fitting 22) described below is inserted and fixed to the hole in the central lower part. This rotating metal fitting has the following structure. Reference numeral 21 denotes an outer metal fitting, which is a bottomed cylindrical body having a flange on its upper portion. Reference numeral 22 denotes an inner metal fitting, which is a cylindrical body having a flange in the center.
In the metal fittings described above, the outer diameters of the collar portions are the same, and the outer diameter of the inner metal fitting is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outer metal fitting, so that the inner metal fitting can be inserted into the outer metal fitting.
These two fittings are used in combination.

A part of the inner metal fitting is inserted and fixed to the candle holder holder, and an outer metal plate is inserted and fixed to the hole provided in the base. Note that the candle holder holder is also provided with a drain hole 23 similar to that of the base. The outer diameter of the candle holder is the same as the outer diameter of the rotating body, and the rotating body is placed on the candle holder.
Next, the resection portion of the main body will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 12, in a plan view of the main body, an opening 30 of equal width is cut from the upper end to the lower end of the main body at a location close to the rotating body, and is continuous with the opening of equal width. Then, a concave curved portion 31 is formed, and a convex curved portion 32 is formed continuously from this concave curved portion.
When the wind hits this curved portion, the direction of the wind is changed to a direction away from the rotating body, so that the effect of the wind on the ignition candle inside is reduced, and the same applies when the candle is ignited.
For example, as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 12, if the width is the same, the amount of wind blowing in is reduced, but only a portion of the rotating body is exposed, giving an impression of being cramped, which is visually undesirable.
Also, if there is no curved portion, the vision is better than the above, but the wind is collected and the windbreak effect is reduced. Therefore, by forming a continuous curved portion as described above, it is possible to satisfy both the windbreak effect and the visual effect. In addition, the rotating body can be rotated to adjust the gap and further enhance the windbreak effect.

A pair of the products of the present invention are fixedly erected in place on the tombstone. When using the present invention, first, a finger is applied to the decoration space on the front side of the rotating body, and the rotating body is rotated to bring the ignition space portion on the back side to the front side. At this time, the candlestick is exposed, and the candle is placed there to ignite the wick. At the time of ignition, the space other than the ignition gap is surrounded by the main body, and the fire is prevented from being extinguished by the wind. After the candle is ignited, the rotating body is rotated again to bring the decorative space to the front. This decorative void is in the form of a continuous combination of X-shaped cloisonne patterns in this example.
Therefore, it is possible to easily turn the candle by placing a finger on the space, and the candle flame can be visually recognized through the decorative space, thereby obtaining good visibility. After visiting the grave, the candle can be extinguished and removed by reversing the procedure described above.

In this example, drain holes are used in the base and the holder for the candle stand. Accordingly, rainwater that has entered the main rotating body through the decorative gaps in rainy weather passes through both of these drainage holes and reaches the semi-circular recess at the bottom of the base. Because of the linear shape that reaches the end of the pipe, the water can be discharged naturally to the outside.
Also, the main body is provided with an exhaust port. This is in consideration of the air supply for candle burning. Air flows into the main rotating body from the lower part of the decorative space, and the air after combustion is discharged to the outside through this exhaust port, ensuring the flow of air necessary for combustion and maintaining candle combustion. In order to maintain this airflow, the exhaust port is provided on the side opposite to the decorative gap in plan view of the main body. The base and the main body, the main body and the crown, and the side surface of the candle holder and the base are each fixed with a joint material. In addition, joint material is not used for a part of the lower part of the candle holder and the base because the water can pass through.

The present invention has been described above, and the present invention prevents extinguishing of a lit candle by the wind when visiting a grave, and also provides good visual acuity. In the past, as mentioned above, it was necessary to bring a windshield with you every time you visited a grave, and when igniting a candle, it took time to ignite due to wind and rain. It became a thing to be done. In addition, the curved portion of the main body reduces the blowing of wind into the candle flame, and the rotating body can be rotated to adjust the amount of wind, thereby improving visibility. In addition, it is possible to design without restriction according to the application. In other words, in order to accommodate long and thick candles, it is necessary to freely design the width and length of the rotating body. It is difficult to take.
In the example of the present invention, the main portion is made of stone, but other materials may be used, and the design of the decorative voids of the main rotating body is free as long as it has appropriate air permeability.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an article that is convenient when visiting a grave.
