DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incense and the like, which have a color substantially in the ash portion after burning, while maintaining substantially the original shape without ash collapse during burning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Incense is intended to achieve the purpose of, for example, dispersing fragrances and active ingredients mainly by burning it. Typical examples include incense such as incense used in funerals and the like, mosquito coils and incense. There are incense etc.

The incense stick is used, for example, in a Buddhist ceremony or the like in such a manner as to stand upright on a support such as an incense stick and ignite the tip thereof to cause combustion and soot smoke. Other incense sticks are also used for the purpose of burning off the fragrances and active ingredients by burning them, and have various shapes. Examples include mosquito coils and incense.

Heretofore, the ash produced by the use of these incenses has been literally gray and has a dull color. Further, as the incense burns continuously, the incinerated portion is very easily broken by its own weight, and has a drawback that it collapses and scatters to become fine powder and stain the surroundings. It is impossible to prevent the incinerated part from being produced due to the characteristics of the incense stick base material, and since the color is gray to gray-white and monotonous depressed, the perfume incense stick is mainly used to enjoy incense smoke. For example, various proposals have been made to prevent colored colorful incense sticks and ashes after burning. For example, a method of blending an inorganic binder substance or a substance having a capability of forming a melt into a base material of the incense stick to maintain the shape of the ash portion (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 4-210621 and 8-133906) and A method of blending or applying an inorganic pigment to an incense stick substrate so that colored characters and patterns appear on the ash after burning to enhance the commercial value (JP-A-54-59341, JP-A-54-59341). 1-1
17822). Further, a white incense stick using crystalline cellulose and a white pigment (JP-A-63-2111)
No. 220) has also been proposed.

[0005]

As described above, as means for preventing the incineration portion from collapsing due to the burning of incense or the like, a material for reinforcing ash after burning is mixed with the incense base material. There is a method of kneading, but this method cannot eliminate the influence on the quality such as flammability, and has to compromise on selecting either the quality or the effect.

It has been known that an inorganic compound is added to an incense base material or the like to give a color to an incinerated portion after burning. However, as the color of the incense surface before use burns, it is known. There has not yet been proposed any incense or the like that produces a dynamic color change that is full of luxurious sensation with continuous combustion, such as changing to a glassy transparent color. In addition, the conventionally proposed method of improving the commercial value by coloring the ash portion did not solve the disadvantage that the ash was easily broken, and thus the effect was not sufficient.

Therefore, the present inventors have found that the incinerated portion maintains its original shape and continuously burns without falling down and scattering, and furthermore, the color of the incinerated portion after burning with the color of the incense surface is a conventional gray color. ~
The present invention has been completed in the development of incense and the like which change to a vitreous, more transparent and colorful color instead of a grayish white color.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the incinerated portion after burning from maintaining its original shape and from falling and scattering without affecting the original quality of the incense. It is an object of the present invention to provide incense and the like which can perform beautiful color change.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object, and a scent and a similar material of the present invention are provided with a shape-retaining material for preliminarily retaining the shape of an incinerated portion on the surface of a scented base material. Or by forming a film after burning of incense and the like, so that the ash formed after burning is constituted so that its shape is retained by the film. So, the incinerated part is like this
The shape is retained by the shape retention material on the surface
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the ash from falling and scattering, and furthermore, it is possible to give a color to the incinerated portion by giving a color to the film.

In the present invention, in order to maintain the shape of the incinerated portion, the incense surface portion may be formed of a shape maintaining material for maintaining the shape of the incinerated portion formed after burning the incense substrate. The shape maintaining material is preferably a coating having a network structure or pores.

In order to maintain the shape of the incinerated portion, a coating agent for forming a film around the incinerated portion after burning the incense substrate can be applied to the surface of the incense substrate. And a film-forming component that melts at the combustion temperature of the incense substrate to form a film. The coating agent is preferably made of glaze, or glaze and kneading oil, or a water-soluble resin or oil-soluble resin, and the coating agent may include a pigment or a pigment and a dye.

The details of the present invention will be described below.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result of the idea that ash collapse and scattering can be prevented by providing a coating around an incinerated portion. A study has been made on how to achieve the purpose without inhibiting the burning of incense and similar substances. As a result, by ensuring air permeability near the fire point, ensuring flammability, and by burning or pyrolyzing at the combustion temperature of incense and similar substances, no coating is applied to the incinerated part, or harmful substances are eliminated. It has been found that the object can be achieved as long as no problem such as occurrence occurs.

In the present invention, a substance that does not alter the surface portion of the incense and the like to such an extent that it cannot achieve its purpose by burning or pyrolysis by burning of the incense and the like, such as metal thin films and fibers, It can be composed of a shape maintaining material such as a heat resistant film or glass fiber. Specifically, a fine network having such a shape maintaining material or a thin film having a large number of pores can be provided around the incense and the like.

Furthermore, like a glaze used for coloring ceramics, a film-forming component which melts by burning incense and the like and forms a film after cooling is coated on the surface of the incense to form a complicated shape. However, it can be easily applied and can be manufactured more easily. In addition, by including an inorganic pigment in the coating agent, a desired color can be given to an ash generated after burning of the incense stick or the like.

That is, in the present invention, a coating agent for forming a film around the incinerated portion after burning of the incense base such as glaze is applied to the surface of the incense or similar base material as the main body, Accordingly, a multi-layered scent or the like can be obtained by arbitrarily coloring it with various combustible colorants and dyes thereon. By doing so, the film-forming components such as glaze are melted when the incense body burns, and a vitreous, transparent, colorful film is formed on the surface of the ash portion as it is generated, and before use, The color of the incense changes to a color based on the glaze.

In the present invention, since the surface of the incense has a fine network structure or a large number of pores in advance, or a coating agent is applied to the surface of the incense substrate, and a film is formed after burning the incense, It does not impair the flammability of the incense body and does not hinder the emission of perfume and other active ingredients. In addition, any shape of incense can be coated, even for ready-made products.
For example, it can be applied as it is simply by providing a glaze layer and a coloring layer.

In the present invention, the coating thickness of the coating agent varies depending on the type and shape of the scent, but is preferably 20
To 130 μm, more preferably 40 to 100 μm. If the coating film is too thick, it may affect the flammability of the incense body, and if it is too thin, the effect intended in the present invention may not be obtained. In the present invention, the thickness of the coating film can be determined by measuring the diameter of the barrel diameter of the incense stick or the like to which the coating agent has been applied using a micrometer and determining the difference from the barrel diameter before applying the coating agent.

The coating agent used in the present invention forms a film on the surface of the incense base material around the incinerated portion after the incense base material is burned. It comprises a film-forming component for forming a film, and preferably comprises a glaze, which is a film-forming component, and a paste for applying the glaze to the surface of incense or the like. Further, it is more preferable to include an inorganic pigment in order to impart an arbitrary color to the incinerated portion of the incense and the like after burning.

In the present invention, the glaze refers to a film or fine particles having uniform or fine pores by cooling after cooling or cooling after a part or all of the particles are melted and fused or adhered by burning of incense or the like. It is composed of a film-forming component that forms a film having a network structure, and is generally referred to as a glaze and is typically represented by those commercially available for ceramics, but partially or completely melts at the burning temperature of incense and the like, Any material that forms a film with cooling thereafter can be used. Any color can be imparted to the incinerated part after burning incense and similar substances by inorganic pigments,
In order to provide the desired color, it is necessary to study the composition of these components.However, commercially available glazes are shown in photographs and the like after baking. Necessary pigment can be procured. Addition of organic pigments and dyes to the coating agent,
Alternatively, it is also possible to adjust the color of the unburned portion with a material other than the inorganic pigment by coloring the surface with these after the coating treatment, and in this case, since the organic dyes and the like disappear after burning, the unburned portion is not burned. It is possible to give completely different colors to the part and the ash part.

The glaze used in the present invention is usually a thin glassy coating (a mixture of silicates) applied to the surface of a ceramic body.
It is particularly preferable to use those which are usually used for glazing the ceramics by applying a glaze to the bases, eliminating water absorption, preventing dirt, and enabling use as daily necessities. Raw materials for such glaze include natural raw materials such as feldspar and quartzite, and chemical products such as zinc white, barium carbonate, and frit. These glazes can produce a desired color tone by blending a raw material such as an inorganic dye with a film-forming component, but a ready-made commercial product may be used simply.

The coating agent of the present invention contains a sizing agent. Here, the sizing agent is mainly used for imparting a film-forming component.For example, when a water-soluble organic dye is used, it is also used for the purpose of preventing the dye from attaching to hands, clothes, and the like. Can be Examples of the paste include cellulose derivatives, vinyl-based water-soluble resins, acrylic-based, urethane-based, melamine-based, epoxy-based synthetic resins and mixtures thereof, and rosin, balsam, varnish, and the like, and mixtures thereof. Can be In addition, examples of the solvent for adjusting the viscosity include alcohol, turpentine oil, and water.

The coating agent preferably used in the present invention is a coating agent containing a glaze or a sizing agent such as a glaze and a kneading oil, a water-soluble resin or an oil-soluble resin. In the present invention, the proportion of the glaze in the coating agent is preferably 10 to 60% by weight,
More preferably, it is 30 to 50% by weight. The ratio of the sizing agent in the coating agent is preferably 10-6.
0% by weight, more preferably 30 to 50% by weight.

In the present invention, as described above, the surface of the incense substrate is
A film is formed around the incinerated portion after burning the incense substrate, and in the present invention, a film formed by melting at the combustion temperature of the incense substrate is preferably used. The burning temperature of the scented base material may vary depending on the composition, production method and the like, but is usually around 500 ° C, for example, about 450 to 550 ° C. The burning temperature of the incense base is, for example, 10 incense sticks are crushed into a powdered state in a pulverizer, ignited into the fire tray,
The temperature can be measured by inserting the tip of the sensor into the center of the fire point and reading the maximum value of the displayed temperature.

The scent base (main body) for producing the scent of the present invention comprises a combustion base such as wood powder such as tub powder or charcoal, a sizing agent such as carrageenan, carbomethoxycellulose or corn starch, a fragrance, and benzoic acid. And sorbic acid, preservatives such as parahydroxybenzoic acid, and component agents such as combustion aids such as aluminum hydroxide and calcium carbonate, and after adding an appropriate amount of water and kneading, molding into a predetermined shape, drying or It can be obtained by a known method such as punching and drying into a predetermined shape.

In the present invention, a liquid surface coating agent containing a glaze or the like is preferably applied to the incense body, sprayed or dipped in the incense body to form a film around the incinerated portion by combustion. Or even change color of the coating film. Since the appearance of the incense body is a unique color of the combustion base itself, for example, charcoal is black, so if it is necessary to apply another color as the appearance, after the treatment with the coating agent, an organic type of combustible It is also possible to color the surface with a dye. Examples of the organic pigment include a dye such as malachite green.

The scents and the like of the present invention are suitably used as incense sticks, mosquito repellent incense sticks or incense sticks for incense.
