Description

  The present invention relates to a candle holder for a small-sized candle that can use a small-sized candle that burns in a short time more safely.

  Candles are widely used not only as an emergency light source during power outages, but also as lights for Buddhist altars and gods. However, there is a danger of falling down and leaving the place of use if it is left ignited, and there is a danger that it will burn to the surroundings. For this reason, small-sized candles (hereinafter referred to as “small candles”) in which combustion lasts only for a short time of several minutes or 10 minutes are burned out so that they can be burned out only in the necessary time.

  But this is not without the danger of burning around. Therefore, floating candles have been devised in which water is poured into a transparent container such as a cup and the candle is floated on the water. FIG. 4 shows an example, in which the candle 3 is formed into a plate shape, and the core yarn 31 is disposed near the center. The candle 3 itself has a low specific gravity and floats in water, so it burns while floating, and if it burns out, it disappears naturally and is extremely safe. It is easy to give a design by coloring the wax, or forming it into a pattern shape (card club shape) as shown in the example of FIG.

Patent Document 1 similarly describes a candle floating in water. This is shown in FIG. The candle 4 has a spherical shape, and a core thread 41 is arranged in the center, and a weight is put on the lower part of the sphere so that the core 4 always maintains an upward posture.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-69141

Although floating candles such as those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 have sufficient safety against burning, etc., if the size of the candle is small relative to the container, it will not stay at the center position of the container while burning, but will move closer to the periphery. There is a problem that if it burns out or the way it burns is biased, it will incline and disappear without burning enough.
An object of the present invention is to solve such problems and realize a highly safe candle stand that burns for a predetermined time while maintaining the position and posture of the candle and extinguishes the fire.

  The present invention is a candle holder for small candles, which is made of waterproof cardboard or a resin having a low specific gravity, and is provided with a hole for standing a candle in the center of a substantially disc-shaped body. The small candle holder is decorated with at least one of a decoration of coloring the surface of the main body, drawing a pattern on the surface of the main body, or making the outer shape of the main body into a pattern shape.

  According to the present invention, the candle can be completely burned as much as necessary, and the safety associated with the use of the candle is greatly improved and a fire and the like are prevented.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a candle holder 1 for a small candle according to an embodiment. 11 is a main body of a substantially disk-shaped candle holder, and 12 is a hole for raising a candle provided at the center. The main body 11 is a cardboard that is floated to prevent water from penetrating, or a thin board made of resin having a low specific gravity (floating on water). The hole is opened by pushing the small candle and holds the small candle firmly. Small candles for short periods are about 15 to 25 mm in length. If the height of the candle is lower than the size of the main body 11, there is no risk of falling.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state in which the small candle 2 is erected on the candle holder 1 for the small candle according to the embodiment, and 21 is a core yarn. In this state, the core thread 21 is pinched and the candle holder 1 for a small candle is floated on the water in the container and ignited with a lighter or a match. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a use state, and C is a transparent container for containing water such as a cup. Put a little water in the container so that the flame does not come out.

  Although the size (diameter) of the main body 11 is arbitrary, it is preferable that the size of the main body 11 is such that the periphery is not burnt by the center flame, for example, the diameter is 40 mm or more. Further, it is preferable that the difference with respect to the inner diameter of the container C is small so that the candle floating in the water does not move around in a wide range. Even if the main body 11 comes into contact with the inner surface of the container C, the center of the flame is separated from the container C by the radius of the main body 11, so that the fire does not disappear.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a usage state of the candle holder 1 for a small candle according to the present invention. As shown in this figure, a little length from the lower end of the candle comes out under the main body 11 of the candle stand 1 and is immersed in water, so it is cooled and sucks some water, so it burns to this part. When it comes, the fire will automatically disappear without standing down. Therefore, when the candle is erected for the first time, the combustion time can be changed by adjusting the length to be pushed.

  In terms of function, it is sufficient if the outer shape of the main body 11 is a simple circle or a polygonal shape (in this specification, these are collectively referred to as “substantially disk shape”, including a snow crystal shape, etc.). If you decorate the surface of the main body with a design such as petal pattern on the surface of the main body, or make the outer shape of the main body, for example, the shape of a lotus flower pattern, the decoration will improve. Even more preferable.

  The candle holder of the present invention does not need to be disposable every time, and can be used repeatedly as many times as possible.

It is a perspective view which shows the candle stand for small candles of the Example of this invention. It is a front view which shows the state which stood the small candle in the candle holder for small candles of the Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows an example of the use condition of the candle stand for small candles of the Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows an example of a conventionally well-known floating candle. It is a perspective view which similarly shows the floating type candle in a prior art.
