[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a so-called "low pool" or "low pool" (hereinafter abbreviated as "low pool") in which a burning candle wick is in a molten or semi-molten state when the burning wick reaches its final stage. The present invention relates to a candle having an automatic fire extinguishing function, which is designed to be self-tilting at its center and its combustion end being stopped by being immersed in the low sump.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, candle fires have become a social problem, including burning residual wicks that fall on the candlestick or even on the table, causing burns, burns, and even a fire. It was

By the way, it is troublesome to remove a candle that has burned out of a previously used candle and hardened from the candle holder, even if a new candle is to be set up vertically in the candle holder, and such trouble is overcome. For this reason, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 64-37455 discloses a candle in which a core is inserted only up to a certain length. This candle can be said to be a candle that can be extinguished automatically in that the burning will stop automatically when the wick is exhausted. However, on the other hand, when the wick is burning, the surrounding rows surrounding the wick are melted or semi-molten by the radiant heat generated by the burning of the wick, and the rows are liquefied to form a row pool. Therefore, when the burning wick reaches its final stage, the residual wick tends to float in the low pool, and in some cases, the residual wick moves from the center of the low pool to the periphery. In some cases, the tip of the residual wick that has moved to or has fallen to the outer periphery of the low pool may fall to the outer side of the low pool. With regard to the problem of being a cause of burns, charring, and even a fire, there is still no doubt that it still contains the problem.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-41054, a cavity is provided at the bottom of a candle, and when the burning wick approaches the cavity, the cavity cannot support the remaining wick. , A candle is disclosed in which the wick falls into the cavity and the supply of air is cut off and the fire can be extinguished automatically. However, this candle is also similar to the above-mentioned known example in that the residual burnt wick sometimes falls over the outer periphery of the candle pool before the burnt residual wick falls into the cavity. .

[0005] In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-157140, an automatic eraser having a structure in which a blocker for blocking the wick and the candle body is closely attached to the surrounding of the wick that is passed through the candle body is disclosed. A candle with a fire function is disclosed. That is, the present invention blocks the penetration of the low-melting component into the wick by the action of capillaries due to the presence of the blocking substance, thereby stopping the burning of the candle. By the way, the extinguishing mechanism of this invention is to block the permeation action of the low-melting component due to the capillary phenomenon, and therefore, the blocker must be constructed so that the capillary action does not occur. Therefore, in order to effectively exhibit the above mechanism, a strict configuration and manufacturing conditions for the barrier to be placed around the core material are required, and there are many points that must be solved in practice. Exists.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

 Against the above background, the present inventor has moved away from the idea of preventing the burning residual wick from idling in the low pool, and at that time, from the idea of blocking the capillary action, We have earnestly studied a solution that is easy to manufacture, inexpensive, and effective for self-extinguishing. This led to the invention of a candle that can be stopped automatically.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problem That is, the present invention is a candle having an automatic fire extinguishing function, characterized in that a wick inserted in a candle body has a knot at its lower end. .

[0008]

[Action]

 The basis of the present invention is to utilize a phenomenon in which a burning wick can surely stop its burning if its burning end is immersed in a low pool surrounding the burning wick. For this reason, the burning residual wick is configured to be laid down at the center of the low pool and the tip of the burning wick is soaked in the low pool so that the combustion is surely stopped.

That is, according to the present invention, by using a wick having a nodule at the lower end as a wick arranged in a candle, the wick does not move in the row sump and the nodule is formed at the center of the row sump. With the fulcrum as a fulcrum, the wick will fall into the low pool, and the tip of the burning residual wick will be immersed in the low pool due to the self-tilting of the residual wick, and combustion can be stopped. Is. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to prevent the burning residual wick from falling over the outer peripheral portion of the low pool and falling on the candlestick or further on the table, causing burns, burning, or a fire.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to Examples. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a candle of the present invention, and shows that a wick 2 is arranged in a candle body 1, and the wick 2 is provided with a knot portion 3 at its lower end. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a state in which the wick 2 of the candle 1 of Fig. 1 is ignited and burned. At this time, the burning wick 2 is at the center and its periphery is a watch glass shape. It is shown that the row reservoir portion 4 in which the row is in the (semi) melted state is formed. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a state in which combustion has advanced in FIG. 2 and the wick 2 has reached the final stage. FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a state in which the wick 2 is tilted by itself in FIG. 3, and the combustion end 6 thereof is immersed in the low pool portion 4.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wick 5 of the conventional candle has reached the final stage, in which the wick 5 floats in the low pool portion 4 and its combustion end 6 is the outer periphery of the low pool portion 4. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state of burning across a portion.

Observing the burning of the candle, the conventional burning of the wick 5 progresses, and when the final stage is reached, the lower end of the wick 5 is fixed at the center of the candle pool 4 until a certain point. It is held, but beyond a certain point, the lower end is in a state in which the fixed holding in the low reservoir 4 is released, and the wick 5 sometimes floats, resulting in the state shown in FIG. .

In the candle of the present invention, when the burning of the wick 2 progresses to the final stage and the lower end of the candle is released from the fixed holding in the brazing portion 4, the wick 2 is placed in the brazing portion 4 At the center of the wick 2, the node 3 at the lower end of the wick 2 is self-tilted, and the burning end 6 of the burning wick 2 falls into the row reservoir 4 and floats to the outer periphery of the row reservoir 4. There is no such thing. That is, in the candle of the present invention, the burning wick 2 at the end thereof surely falls into the candle accumulation part 4, so that the state shown in FIG. Of.

The wick 2 of the candle of the present invention is not intended to interrupt the suction of the molten wax and stop the combustion at the nodule 3 thereof, and in practice, a small nodule is not provided. Combustion cannot be stopped. In the present invention, the fact that the combustion end of the burning wick 2 can be stopped by immersing the burning end of the wick 2 in the low pool portion 4, the knot portion 3 is the It functions as a fulcrum for defeating.

Therefore, the knot portion 3 only needs to have a size that allows the residual wick to be self-tilted, and it is not preferable that the knot portion 3 is too large, and the residual wick causes self-tilting. A small one that is easy to do is sufficient. The nodule may have any knot shape. Further, the knot portion may have a form in which the lowermost end of the residual wick is tied with a thread-like material different from the wick.

In the candle of the present invention, the wick 2 to be inserted into the candle body 1 has the knot portion 3 at the lowermost end, but the knot portion 3 at the lowermost end of the candle body 1 is It is not limited to being located at the lowermost end, and the lower end of the wick 2 may be a candle inserted in a position raised from the lower end of the candle main body 1 and the knot 3 Alternatively, the lower candle body may be formed with a cavity that opens downward.
