Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a candle holder with a windshield for use in front of a grave or in a Shinto shrine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When performing religious events such as visiting graves and worshiping in front of statues of gods and Buddhas, various offerings are usually offered in front of the graves and gods and Buddhas, and candles are lit to make the religious events solemn. Such a candle is erected with the support pin protruding from the center of the upper surface of the candle stand with the hole at the bottom of the candle inserted, but when the candle is served in front of the grave, it is exposed to wind and rain. There was a problem that the candle was easy to disappear and it was not possible to visit the grave strictly.

In order to solve such a problem, a candle holder with a windshield such as a paper lantern, a paper lantern, and a “bonbori” was used in the olden days, but these “bonbori” and the like were used. Since wood, bamboo, paper, and cloth are used as materials, it easily burns. At present, it is rare to use “bonbori” made of wood-based materials in consideration of disaster prevention.

Therefore, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-18083, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-109098, and the like, various candle stands provided with a windshield that do not use wood-based materials have been proposed. ing.

However, all of these candlesticks are intended only to withstand wind and rain, and do not sufficiently consider introduction of combustion air into the candle and exhaust of combustion exhaust gas, and soot caused by incomplete combustion. There is a problem that the windshield may pollute the windshield and the surrounding environment.

As a solution to such a problem, there is a candle holder disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-26202. This candle stand consists of a stone-made cylindrical pedestal that raises a candle in the center of the top surface, a stone-made cylindrical windshield that covers this pedestal, and a stone-made cap that fits on the top of this windshield. The windshield has a window portion formed by cutting out a part of its peripheral surface, and a transparent cover that covers the window portion from the outside with a gap formed between the windshield outer peripheral surface. It will be. The cap portion has an exhaust hole extending in the vertical direction at the center thereof.

According to such a candle holder, the candle attached to the pedestal is lit, and then the pedestal is covered with the windshield, and then the shade portion is placed on the top of the windshield, so that the lit candle becomes the windshield. It will be protected by the cap. In this state, combustion air is introduced into the windshield through the gap between the transparent cover and the outer peripheral surface of the windshield, and after being used for burning the candle, the generated combustion exhaust gas is discharged to the outside through the exhaust holes of the shade. . The introduction of such combustion air and the discharge of combustion exhaust gas to the outside of the windshield prevent the candle from incompletely burning, and the windshield can overcome the wind and rain.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the candle holder disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-26202, the gap between the transparent cover and the windshield outer peripheral surface is formed over the entire circumference of the peripheral edge of the transparent cover. However, not all the air that flows into the draft shield from this gap flows toward the flame part of the candle.For example, the air that flows into the draft shield from the gap above does not contribute to the burning of the candle. Since the air flow in the windshield is not constant because some of the combustion exhaust gas is exhausted from the above gap and conversely, a part of the combustion exhaust gas does not necessarily improve the combustibility of the candle. It does not contribute.

Further, since the combustion exhaust gas of the candle rises in the windshield, concentrates at the top, and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust hole of the cap portion, the vicinity of the exhaust hole of the cap portion is heated to a high temperature, There is a problem that touching the part may cause burns.

[0010] Furthermore, wind and rain may enter the windshield from the gap formed between the transparent cover and the outer peripheral surface of the windshield, and may directly hit the flame of the candle. In this case, the candle is extinguished. Have

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and contributes to the improvement of the combustibility of the candle while ensuring that the windshield effect is obtained, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a candle stand with a windshield, which is surely prevented from being locally heated to a high temperature.

[0012]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A candle stand with a draft shield according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a pedestal to which a candle is attached, a tubular windshield which covers the pedestal so as to enclose the candle attached to the pedestal, and which is attached to the top of the windshield. In a candle stand with a windshield including a cap member, the pedestal has a combustion air introducing hole communicating with the windshield, and the windshield has a light window with a part of its peripheral surface cut out. The cap member is attached to the windshield in such a manner that a gap having a predetermined size is formed between the upper member and the upper edge of the windshield over the entire circumference of the windshield. It is characterized by being present.

According to this candle stand with a windshield, while the candle is attached to the base and is lit, by covering the base with the windshield, the light of the lit candle illuminates the surroundings through the light window and the candle The flame is protected from wind and rain by the windshield and the cap member. Then, while the candle is lit, the combustion air is introduced into the windshield through the combustion air introduction hole of the pedestal, is supplied to the burning part of the candle, and rises as combustion exhaust gas. The exhaust gas is discharged to the outside through a gap formed between the upper edge of the windshield and the cap member.

As described above, since the ascending air current consisting of the combustion air and the combustion exhaust gas is formed in the windshield only upward, the combustion air is introduced from a plurality of places on the peripheral surface of the windshield, and thus, in the windshield. Ascending and descending air flows are generated, and the combustion state of the candle is more stable than when turbulence is formed in the windshield due to these collisions.

Further, since the gap formed between the upper edge portion of the windshield and the cap member is formed over the entire circumference of the upper edge portion of the windshield, the high temperature combustion exhaust gas is distributed over the entire circumference. It is evenly dispersed and discharged, which prevents the upper part of the windshield and the cap member from being locally heated by the combustion exhaust gas.

An annular exhaust port 44 having a predetermined clearance dimension over the entire circumference of the windshield body 31 is formed between the outer peripheral surface inclined toward the center of the windshield body and the upper edge of the windshield body 31. The three-dimensional shape of the lower cap member 41 is set.

In addition, such a cap member 4 has a heat transfer amount of heat to the upper cap member 42, which is the temperature to be heated of the lower cap member 41 heated by the upward rising air flow due to the combustion of the candle R in the windshield body 31. In terms of heat balance with the amount of heat radiated from the upper cap member 42 to the outside, the weight and shape are set so that the temperature is raised to a temperature that does not cause burns to the touch.

The candle holder 1 including the base member 2, the windshield 3 and the cap member 4 is manufactured by a conventional method using aluminum or aluminum alloy as a raw material. The outer surface of the base member 2, the windshield 3 and the cap member 4 thus obtained is coated with a mimicry of granite by random yarn coating, whereby the appearance of the candle holder 1 is so majestic that it is made of stone. It has become.

As described in detail above, the candle holder 1 of the present invention includes the base member 2 having the combustion air intake groove 23 and the combustion air introduction hole 25, and the candle R attached to the candle support member 24. The windshield 3 covers the base member 2 and the cap member 4 fixed to the top of the windshield 3 as described above. Further, the pedestal 22 of the base member 2 introduces combustion air into the windshield main body 31. A combustion air introduction hole 25 for the windshield is provided, and an annular exhaust port 44 having a predetermined gap dimension is provided between the bottom surface of the shade member 4 and the upper end edge of the windshield main body 31. When the candle R in the main body 31 is lit, the combustion air is introduced from the combustion air introduction hole 25 and discharged from the annular exhaust port 44 due to the vertical temperature difference in the windshield main body 31 due to the flame of the candle R. Introduction hole 2 A stable updraft is formed between the No. 5 and the annular exhaust port 44. Therefore, the candle R always burns stably.

Since the light window 31a is closed by the transparent plate 32 that is closely attached to the inner peripheral surface of the windshield main body 31, even if the candlestick 1 is blown by strong wind, the strong wind is not visible. Stable combustion of the candle R is obtained without directly entering the windshield main body 31 through the window 31a.

Further, since the annular exhaust port 44 is formed over the entire circumference of the upper edge of the windshield main body 31 between the windshield main body 31 and the cap member 4, the combustion generated by the burning of the candle R is performed. Since the exhaust gas is dispersed and discharged over the entire length of the annular exhaust port 44, the vicinity of the exhaust port provided on the top of the shade member as in the conventional case intensively obtains heat from the combustion exhaust gas and is partially discharged. It is heated to a very high temperature and does not cause any inconvenience such as burns when touched by hand.

Further, in the present embodiment, the cap member 4 transmits the heating temperature of the lower cap member 41 heated by the ascending air current due to the combustion of the candle R in the windshield body 31 to the upper cap member 42. Due to the heat balance between the amount of heat and the amount of heat radiated from the upper shade member 42 to the outside, the material, weight and shape are set so that the temperature is raised to a temperature that does not cause burns to the touch. Even if the upper cap member 42 is touched, there is no burn at all and it is very safe.

[Effect of device]

 According to the candle stand with the windshield according to claim 1 of the present invention, the windshield has a pedestal to which the candle is attached, a tubular windshield to cover the pedestal, and a cap member to be attached to the top of the windshield. It is a candle stand, the pedestal has a combustion air introduction hole communicating with the windshield, and the windshield has a light window with a part of its peripheral surface cut out and a transparent plate that closes the light window. However, since the cap member is attached to the windshield in a state where a gap of a predetermined size is formed between the upper edge of the windshield and the upper edge of the windshield, the candle stand is formed on the base. By putting the candle on and lighting it, and then covering the base with the windshield, the surroundings of the candle stand can be illuminated by the light of the candle leaking through the light window. The flame of the candle is protected from wind and rain by the windshield and the shade member, and while the candle is lit, the combustion air is introduced into the windshield through the combustion air introduction hole of the pedestal and the candle burns. After being supplied to the portion where it is present, it rises as combustion exhaust gas and is discharged to the outside through the gap formed between the upper edge of the windshield and the cap member.

As described above, since the ascending air current consisting of the combustion air and the combustion exhaust gas is formed in the windshield only upward, the combustion air is introduced from a plurality of places on the peripheral surface of the windshield, and thereby the inside of the windshield is formed. As compared with the case where turbulent flow is formed in the windshield due to the collision of these ascending and descending air currents, it becomes possible to stabilize the burning state of the candle, and this improves the combustibility, resulting in an incomplete candle. It is possible to reliably suppress the generation of soot due to combustion.

Further, since the gap formed between the upper edge portion of the windshield and the cap member is formed over the entire circumference of the upper edge portion of the windshield, the high temperature combustion exhaust gas is distributed over the entire circumference. It is evenly distributed and discharged, which prevents the upper part of the windshield and the cap member from being locally heated by the combustion exhaust gas. You can definitely eliminate the danger.
