Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a lantern, for example, a small portable lantern used in front of a grave or in a funeral offering.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional small lanterns of this type were made of stone or other materials from the viewpoint of noncombustibility. This is because a candle or the like is used as the light source.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, such conventional stone lanterns are heavy and difficult to carry. In addition, there is a problem that manufacturing is time-consuming, time-consuming, and expensive.

[0004]

[The purpose of the device]

 Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient lantern for transportation, storage, storage, exhibition, and the like. Moreover, this invention aims at facilitating manufacture of a miniaturized lantern. Moreover, this invention aims at providing an inexpensive lantern.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention according to claim 1 is a lantern in which a light source is housed in a box body portion, and the light from the light source is emitted to the outside. It is a formed lantern. As the light source, in addition to a candle, a light, etc., an electric one such as a lamp or a laser can be used. Non-combustible plastics include flame-retardant plastics, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, modified polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulfide, and polysulfone.

According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a lantern in which a box portion in which a light source is housed is supported by a pedestal, and the box portion and the pedestal are made of nonflammable plastic or glass, and It is a lantern in which the box part and the pedestal are detachably configured. For example, these connecting portions may have a fitting structure or a screwing structure.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the lantern according to the first aspect, since the box body portion is formed of plastic or glass, it is possible to achieve weight reduction and is convenient for transportation. Therefore, this lantern can be made suitable for applications such as offering lamps. Furthermore, its durability can be increased even when it is used outdoors.

In the lantern according to the second aspect, it is possible to reduce the weight as a whole and to reduce the size. In addition, the plastic material can be easily manufactured by injection molding or the like. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost. Further, the box part and the pedestal can be separated, which makes it easier to carry.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a lantern according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the lantern 11 has a pedestal 12 and a box portion 13 connected to and mounted on the upper surface of the pedestal 12. The box portion 13 has a chamber inside which a light source such as an incandescent lamp is stored. If this light source is a candle, light (oil), etc., this room will be partially provided with a hole for supplying and exhausting air. More preferably, a soot-free type candle is used. Further, the upper part of the box portion 13 is formed as a roof 13A, and the window 13B of the room is configured to transmit light. Although the pedestal 12 and the box portion 13 are screwed together, they may be integrally formed of plastic. The box body portion 13 may be configured as a unit by incorporating the light source therein, and may be detachably configured as a unit.

Here, the lantern 11 is entirely made of non-combustible or flame-retardant plastic. It may be made of glass. Both the pedestal 12 and the box portion 13 may be formed of, for example, polyamide, polycarbonate, modified polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, or the like. In this case, the window 13B is formed of a material or structure (thinness, etc.) that transmits light. Further, the box body portion 13 may be configured like a running light that is rotated by the heat generated by the light source.

The lantern 11 is formed by dividing it into appropriate parts by injection molding of plastic, for example. For example, the lantern 11 may be vertically divided into two parts. Assemble these parts by, for example, fitting or screwing them together. This assembly can be easily done, for example, in front of the grave. Further, in consideration of the stability, the pedestal 12 may be formed so that the pedestal 12 is heavier than the upper box portion 13 of the lantern 11. Then, when the lantern 11 is used, a light source (a candle, an incandescent lamp, or the like) is inserted into the room of the box body portion 13. The lantern 11 is installed in front of the grave or in a funeral hall.

The lantern according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be made of glass, ceramics or the like. In addition, this lantern may be redesigned so that it can be used as a small illuminator for decorative lighting in a room. Further, the pedestal 12 and the box portion 13 can be designed in various ways, and for example, the pedestal 12 may be provided with a censer pedestal. Further, the box body portion 13 may be configured as a battery-powered running lamp type that partially includes a metal fitting or the like, or the box body portion 13 may be detachably unitized. Further, various shapes such as a cylinder, a square tube, a hexagonal tube, and an octagonal tube can be adopted for the shape of the lantern, particularly for the box body portion 13.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 According to this invention, the lantern can be reduced in weight and can be easily carried. Also, the durability of the lantern can be enhanced, which makes it suitable for outdoor use such as in front of a grave. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of the lanterns can be reduced, and the practical advantages thereof can be increased.
