Description

The present invention relates to an incense burner that eliminates the harmful effects of burning incense by inserting incense sticks into the ashes in an incense burner that is mainly used for Buddhist altars.

Traditionally, when lighting an incense stick in an incense burner, the incense stick is inserted into the ash inside the incense burner and burned. At the time of the accident, the burnt residue in the ash was removed cleanly.
Recently, there have been known devices from overseas that can solve these problems to some extent.
There is also known an incense burner that does not leave a burning residue by using a method in which an incense stick is inserted into a hole made by specially processing the inner surface of a two-stage metal plate (see Patent Document 1).
In addition, there is also known a device that completely burns an incense stick with a structure having an incense stick support hole in a state in which a cylindrical portion is filled with incombustible fibers (see Patent Document 2). An incense holder that prevents overturning and extinguishes itself is also known (see Patent Document 3).

Conventionally, it is common to burn incense by inserting incense sticks into the ashes in the incense burner, but if the incense sticks are inserted into the ashes, part of the ashes will remain unburned, and if the number increases, more incense sticks will be inserted. It became necessary to manually remove the cinders from time to time.
However, in order to solve these problems and troublesomeness, there is a need for a burning incense device for an incense burner that can burn incense in a conventional manner without using any ash or the like in the incense burner and that does not leave any burning residue. However, it has not been solved easily and has continued to the present day, and although incense holders for incense burners that do not use ash have been imported, it seems that they are just appliances for incense burners that do not use ash because the incense burn remains. Further efforts are needed to solve the problem.
In the prior art shown in Reference Document 1, the incense stick is made to stand upright with a special inner surface processing hole opened in a two-stage metal plate, and the contact point with the incense stick is made like a point to prevent heat from the incense stick. Although it is an epoch-making idea, it is inconvenient in terms of handling because it is easy to get caught when inserting the incense stick into the specially processed hole.
In the prior art shown in Reference Document 2, a cylindrical container is filled with incombustible fibers and an opening for inserting an incense stick is also provided. It is troublesome to manually dispose of burnt residue and ash, such as when the burner goes out.
In addition, the prior art shown in Reference Document 3 cannot solve the conventional problems because ash or the like is used in the lower part of the device, and the incense sticks are extinguished in the upper wire mesh part, leaving the lower part of the incense sticks unburned.

It consists of a saucer made of incombustible material such as ceramics or metal and a wire stand that can be easily placed on top of it. , a state in which the wire stand is placed on the saucer will be described below.
The saucer has an outer wall, that is, a dish wall, which rises shallowly from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom that is slightly wider than the vertical and horizontal widths of the wire stand. is set with the leg on the ground.
The wire stand has four thin plate-like walls, and has a box shape with the upper and lower surfaces missing. The height and width of the other pair of opposing wall surfaces are about 10 mm to 15 mm, and are referred to as left and right walls. It is formed at a position about 4 mm to 5 mm above the lower end, and both the front and rear walls and the left and right walls are symmetrically opposed to the upper and lower end surfaces of the respective thin walls at equal intervals of several mm width. A plurality of small shallow grooves, that is, wire installation grooves, are provided, and a nonflammable thin wire is bridged between these opposing symmetrical wire installation grooves, and the wire row surfaces consisting of multiple parallel wire rows are vertically spaced. The wires are divided into four stages from the top, and the wire rows of two adjacent stages, ie, the first and second stages, and the third and fourth stages from the top, are formed in a manner orthogonal to each other. When viewed from above, the wire rows in each of the two pairs of the first and fourth rows, and the second and third rows from the top overlap each other, while intersecting each other to create a neat grid pattern. That is, it appears as an uneven wire grid.
The length of the legs extending from the lower ends of the front and rear walls at the four corners of the four walls to the mat surface, ie, the distance between the surface of the fourth wire row and the surface of the mat, is appropriately about 10 mm to 15 mm.
If an incense stick is inserted from above into this uneven lattice hole, the bottom end of the incense stick will be grounded on the mat of the saucer, and even if there is no ash layer there, the incense stick will be supported at four points above and below by the uneven wire lattice. It keeps the upright position by holding the grid, and the contact with the grid is only point contact with the thin wire. When the incense stick falls down after passing the wire row surface of the 4th stage, the remaining length of the incense stick is about 10 mm to 15 mm. Since it only remains as ash, it is extremely easy to remove.
An incense holder wire stand that does not use ash, characterized by the above.

1. In the present invention, when the incense is burning, within the combustion zone (the part where the incense is burning + the part that holds the amount of heat necessary to continue burning), one thin incombustible wire and The amount of heat necessary for continuation of combustion is secured by only point contact, and the flame of the incense stick can smoothly spread downward without extinguishing in the middle.
2. The uneven wire grid stabilizes the incense stick upright and keeps it burning.
3. Do not use ash when inserting incense sticks, insert the incense sticks upright, do not extinguish the fire during burning, leave only ashes without burning residue, all of the above concerns. The solution has been fully achieved by the present invention, and it has become very easy to simply dispose of the ash in the tray.

Appearance perspective view of the present invention 1 is a plan view of a wire stand that is part of the present invention; FIG. Bottom view of a wire stand that is part of the present invention 1 is a front view of a wire stand that is part of the present invention; FIG. 1 is a side view of a wire stand that is part of the present invention; FIG.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
It consists of a saucer (1) made of incombustible material such as ceramics or metal and a wire stand (4) that can be easily placed on it, and the saucer (1) can be easily placed on the ashes in the incense burner that has been used so far. The wire stand (4) is placed on the tray (1) and is used in a stationary state.
The saucer (1) has an outer wall, that is, a plate wall (2) that rises shallowly from the outer periphery of the bottom that is slightly wider than the vertical and horizontal widths of the wire stand (4), and the bottom is formed of a noncombustible and heat insulating mat. A wire stand (4) is set on the mat surface (3) with its legs (13) grounded.
The wire stand (4) has four thin plate-like walls, and has a box shape with the upper and lower surfaces missing. Called the front and back walls (5), the height and width of another pair of opposing wall surfaces are about 10 mm to 15 mm, and are called left and right walls (6). It is formed at a position about 4 mm to 5 mm below the upper end, and the lower end is positioned at a position about 4 mm to 5 mm above the lower end of the front and rear walls (5). A plurality of small shallow grooves, that is, wire installation grooves (9) are provided on the upper end surface (7) and the lower end surface (8) of each thin wall at equal intervals of a few millimeters in width and symmetrically. A non-combustible thin wire (10) is bridged between the wire installation grooves (9), and the wire row surface (11) consisting of a plurality of parallel wire rows is divided into four stages at intervals from above. Two pairs of vertically adjacent wire rows, ie, the first and second rows, and the third and fourth rows, are formed in a manner orthogonal to each other. In each of the two sets of 1st and 4th tiers, and 2nd and 3rd tiers, the wire rows overlap each other tightly and intersect each other to form a neat lattice shape, that is, a stepped wire lattice (12). appear.
The length of the legs (13) hanging from the lower ends of the front and rear walls (5) at the four corners of the four walls and reaching the mat surface (3) ground, that is, the length of the fourth wire row surface (11) and the mat surface (3) A suitable spacing is about 10 mm to 15 mm.
If an incense stick is inserted into this uneven grid hole from above, the lower end of the incense stick will be grounded on the mat of the saucer (1), and even if there is no ash layer there, the incense stick will still be able to pass through the uneven wire grid (12). It is supported by four points above and below to maintain its upright position, and contact with the grid is limited to point contact with the thin wire (10), so the fire extinguishes or falls down while the fire spreads from top to bottom. The length of the remaining incense stick is about 10 mm to 15 mm when the fire passes the fourth wire row surface (11) at the bottom and falls down, even if it falls on the mat surface (3). The fire smolders for a while, then extinguishes and eventually leaves only ash on the mat, so it is extremely easy to remove.
The present invention is configured as described above, and a specific form of actual use of the present invention will be described below.
1. The present invention is placed on top of the conventionally used incense burner containing ashes, etc. together with the saucer (1). Adjust the height of the lattice plane by adjusting the amount of ash.
The relative spacing between each of the two and four tiered wire row surfaces (11) is set at an optimum spacing so as to keep the incense stick upright and not hinder the continuation of combustion. Although it is made to be in point contact with (10), the presence or absence of deformation or breakage of the wire row surface (11), the state of the mat surface (3), and the wire stand (4) that is grounded with the mat surface (3) Before lighting the incense stick, the state of the lower leg (13) can be easily checked visually, so that it can be used after confirming that there are no abnormalities.
3. Ignite an incense stick and insert the incense stick from the upper grid of the uneven wire grid (12), which is two sets of upper and lower, toward the lower uneven wire grid (12) about 10 mm to 15 mm below. If the incense stick is dropped diagonally from the grid surface, it will come off and enter the adjacent grid. When the lower end of the incense stick is set in a state that the lower end of the incense stick is firmly grounded on the mat surface (3) of the tray (1), the incense stick stands upright and can stably continue burning.
4. Do not forcibly bend the lattice with the bottom end of the incense stick or your fingers, and use the center of the lattice surface as a guide to insert the incense sticks in a number of empty lattices, regardless of the specific lattice. make it
Even if there is a burning incense stick nearby, if you put the incense stick a little away, you can safely and easily insert it without worrying about getting burned by contact.
5. The area for one general incense stick occupied within the storage area of 1 grid is about 1/4, so there is enough room for the storage capacity of 1 grid for 1 incense stick. It's quick to get used to inserting smoothly into the lattice.
6. The upper and lower two sets of non-contact stepped wire grids (12) of the present invention have an interval of about 4 mm to 5 mm between the two upper and lower wire row surfaces (11) adjacent to each other, and the incense sticks burn downward. However, within about 3 mm of the burning zone of the incense stick (the part that is burning + the part that retains the amount of heat necessary to continue burning), there is only one thin incombustible wire (10) As a result of the contact, the outflow of heat from the combustion zone of the incense stick is extremely suppressed, the continuity of combustion is ensured, and all the ash can be burned.
Even when an incense stick is inserted through the same grid again, since there is no obstructive cinders in the grid, the incense can be easily burned.
7. After the burning of the incense stick moves slightly downward from the position of the wire row surface (11) in the lowest 4th stage, most of the incense sticks lose their support and fall down on the mat surface (3), but the tray (1 ) and the mat, the incense burns completely, so the optimum combination that minimizes the outflow of combustion heat is determined through verification, and the saucer (1) and mat are selected and installed. There is no problem in burning out, and only a small amount of ash on the matte surface (3) needs to be treated.
8. The cleaning of the present invention depends on the number of times you burn incense, but about once every two to three months, at an appropriate time, remove the wire row with dirt that has burned from the incense with a detergent or the like, and remove the tray ( A small amount of unburned ash on the matte surface (3) of 1) may be treated according to the condition.
It is enough to lift the incense burner wire stand (4), take out the saucer (1) and tap it lightly.
