Description

  The present invention relates to a candlestick used on a Buddhist altar, for example.

  A candle lit on a Buddhist altar or shrine is usually supported on a candlestick by inserting a hole in the center of the bottom into the projection of the candlestick. However, there is a risk that the candlestick may fall over due to wind or vibration, or the flickering flame may move to the surrounding combustibles and cause a fire. In particular, in general candlesticks, the support base part into which the candle is inserted is on a long and slender foot part, and it has a shape that is easy to fall down even with the action of a small external force. In the present situation where only a small Buddhist altar can be placed due to housing circumstances and the Buddhist fixture placement area is also narrow, there is no space around the candlestick, and it is easy to cause a fire from a candlestick candle.

  In order to avoid such a fall and fire, for example, a windshield cover that covers the candle with the candlestick may be used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in the case where the candlestick and the candle are covered with the cover as described above, it is not only troublesome to remove the candle when replacing it, and a place where the candle is not used is necessary, but the candle is covered in the covered state. It is not so easy to light a fire, it is cumbersome and cumbersome. Further, since the cover has a vertically long shape corresponding to the outer shape of the candlestick and candle, there is a problem that the cover is easy to fall down together with the candlestick.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a candlestick having a structure that can be stably placed more easily than a conventional candlestick and that can be protected against wind without impeding the lighting effect of the candlelight. There is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, a candlestick according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a substantially disk-shaped pedestal that supports a candle by an insertion protrusion inserted into a candle bottom hole, and a partial region of an outer edge of the pedestal. And a rear wall portion extending integrally or detachably so as to rise substantially vertically upward.

  A candlestick according to a second aspect of the present invention is the candlestick according to the first aspect, wherein the insertion protrusion is a separate support member placed on the pedestal.

  A candlestick according to a third aspect of the present invention is the candlestick according to the first or second aspect, wherein the back wall portion has one or more opening holes through which light from a candle lamp is transmitted.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the candlestick according to the first aspect is characterized in that the outer peripheral edge shape of the pedestal is circular.

  In the candlestick according to the present invention, the back wall portion extended so as to rise almost vertically over the partial area of the outer edge of the pedestal surrounds the periphery of the candle supported on the pedestal and functions as a windshield. Therefore, the candles are mainly surrounded by flammable Buddhist utensils around the back side, and the danger of scorching the firework and causing the fire to move out is surrounded by this back wall. Since there is no area, there is an effect that the operation of replacing the candle and lighting the fire can be easily performed without requiring the troublesome work of attaching and detaching the back wall.

  Since the candlestick of the present invention supports the candle on the board-like pedestal via the insertion protrusion, it is harder to fall than a conventional candlestick with a support stand on a long and slender foot, and is much more stable. It is expensive.

  Further, the candlestick of the present invention has a rear wall portion extending substantially vertically upward over a partial region of the outer edge of the pedestal, so that the rear wall portion is provided in a predetermined region around the candle supported on the pedestal. It also functions as a windshield, avoiding the danger of a candle fire scorching a cloth laying, a flammable Buddhist instrument on the back side, and a Buddhist altar or causing a fire. In addition, the back wall is provided over a partial area of the outer edge of the pedestal, and an open area that does not surround the candle is also secured, so the candle can be replaced or fired using the open area. Can be easily performed without requiring the troublesome work of attaching and detaching the back wall portion.

  The setting of the region of the outer edge of the pedestal where such a back wall portion is provided is a width region that can sufficiently block at least the candle's fire including the fluctuation range due to the wind with respect to the rear Buddhist altar etc. when the candle is mounted. . Of course, in order to obtain a more reliable windproof effect against the fire of the candle, the back wall portion may be formed over a wider area with respect to the outer edge of the pedestal so as to cover the candle as much as possible.

  Therefore, the back wall portion can be formed integrally with the pedestal with the same member. In this case, it is easy to handle without losing either the base or the back wall, and the number of members constituting the sconces can be reduced, and there is no need to provide special means for detachment. Therefore, the manufacturing is easy and the manufacturing cost can be reduced accordingly.

  On the other hand, if the back wall part is detachable from the pedestal, the back member can be manufactured in various forms with various materials different from the pedestal, so that it can be replaced according to the user's preference. , You can enjoy a variety of design.

  In addition, the insertion protrusion for supporting the candle may be formed integrally on the pedestal, but may be formed of a support member that is separate from the pedestal. In this case, the support member is placed on the pedestal during use to support the candle, but if the drooping wax adheres only to the substrate on which the protrusions of the support member are formed, the pedestal side becomes dirty. After use, only the supporting member may be removed from the pedestal and cleaned, and maintenance can be performed easily.

  Furthermore, various decorations can be applied to the back wall portion. For example, one or more opening holes that transmit light from a candlelight are formed. With this opening hole, the candle light that is blocked by the back wall part can escape to the back side to compensate for the lighting effect, and the leaking light makes the back wall part feel bright and afterglow You can also expect the effect of being engraved like a shy. In addition, if a highly translucent Japanese paper, a lens, or the like is inserted into the opening hole, such a ghost atmosphere can be produced more effectively.

  Various shapes of the pedestal are conceivable, but the most efficient space is that the outer peripheral shape is circular in plan view from above the pedestal. In this case, the back wall is also curved along a predetermined arcuate region of the outer edge of the circular pedestal. Moreover, if the formation area is in the range of about 1/3 to the semicircumference of the circumference of the outer edge of the pedestal, the candle is sufficiently shielded from the combustibles behind the pedestal, and the fire prevention effect is exhibited. In order to obtain a further windshield effect, the back wall part may be formed over the semi-circumferential region of the outer edge of the pedestal, but at this time, it does not interfere with the work such as changing the candle or lighting the fire. To leave the area of

  Further, the outer peripheral edge shape of the pedestal is not limited to a circular shape, and various shapes such as a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape, a polygonal shape or an elliptical shape larger than that, and an arbitrary asymmetric shape such as a cloud shape can be considered. Therefore, the number of holes, their arrangement, and dispersion positions may be appropriately determined for the opening holes as described above in accordance with the shape and area of the base shape and the back wall portion.

  As an embodiment of the present invention, a schematic table of FIG. 1 shows a candlestick in which an insertion protrusion is provided on a support member separate from the base. 1A is an overall perspective view showing a state where the support member is removed from the pedestal, FIG. 1B is an overall perspective view showing a state where the support member is placed on the pedestal, and FIG. 1C is a candle. It is a whole perspective view which shows a mounting state.

  The candlestick 1 according to the present embodiment includes a disk-shaped pedestal 2 having a circular outer peripheral edge, and a curved back wall portion 3 extending vertically upward from a substantially semicircular region at the outer edge of the pedestal 2. And the support member 5 provided with the insertion protrusion 6 placed on the pedestal 3.

  Since the pedestal 2 in this embodiment is placed without a long and slender foot like a conventional candlestick, it is difficult to fall down and is extremely stable, and the windshield effect by the back wall 3 And the fire prevention effect which avoids the danger of scorching a rear area | region or transferring a fire to a combustible material is acquired.

  The supporting member 5 for supporting the candle 10 placed on the pedestal 2 is formed with an insertion protrusion 6 inserted into a hole at the bottom of the candle at the center of a disc-like substrate 7 that fits on the pedestal surface. . By using the support member 5 that is separate from the pedestal 2, the drooping wax only adheres to the substrate 7, so that only the support member 5 can be removed from the pedestal 2 and cleaned easily after use.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of opening holes 4 are formed in the back wall portion 3 so that the candle light can be transmitted rearward. Through this opening hole 4, the candlelight leaking backward compensates for the illumination blocked by the back wall 3, hits the back wall, etc., and makes the back wall 3 imitate the back of the wall by making it feel bright, afterglow, etc. As such, it is possible to bring out a lighting effect suitable as a Buddhist instrument.

  In the present embodiment, the support member 5 is provided separately from the pedestal 2, but the insertion protrusion 6 may be integrally projected on the pedestal 2. Even in this case, since the candlestick 1 according to the present embodiment has a simple form without a foot, handling such as cleaning is easy and causes no problem.

  Moreover, although the said Example is an example which formed the back wall part 3 integrally with the base 2, it is good also as a structure which makes the back member 3 a separate body from the base 2, and can be attached or detached. In this case, if different materials and shapes are prepared and can be exchanged with each other, the place where the candlestick is placed is not limited to the Buddhist altar, and the design can be enjoyed in various places according to the interior. .
