Description

本考案は、燭台の支持針で支持するロウソク底部支持構造に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a candle bottom support structure that is supported by a support needle of a candlestick.

通常、ロウソクは、製造時にロウソクの底部に所定深さの孔が形成され、この孔を燭台の支持針に嵌合することにより燭台に支持される。燭台の上端には、ロウソクを支持するためのロウソク支持部が形成され、上方に向かって延出する支持針が設けられている。 Usually, a candle is supported by a candlestick by forming a hole of a predetermined depth at the bottom of the candle at the time of manufacture, and fitting this hole into a support needle of the candlestick. A candle support portion for supporting the candle is formed at the upper end of the candlestick, and a support needle extending upward is provided.

特許文献１では、ロウソクの芯を数条の紡糸を平行に集列して円柱状を構成し、一端を打ち潰して扁平にし、これを巻いて円錐状の孔としたロウソク芯の構造が提案され、燭台の支持針と程よく密接するのでロウソクの揺動を防止し、ロウソク下部の破損を防止している。しかしながら、上記従来のロウソク芯構造を製造するには、手間とコストがかかり、また寸法が安定した孔を製造できないといった問題点がある。
特許文献２では、ロウソクの孔に硬煉鬢を充填したロウソクが提案され、ロウソクの揺動や脱落を防止している。しかしながら、上記従来のロウソク構造は、鬢の密度にバラツキがありあり、支持針のサイズによって挿入が困難になり、ロウソク孔部燃焼時に、毛の匂いが発生する等の問題点がある。
特許文献３では、ロウソクの孔に不揮発性粘性油を含ませた粘度物質を充填した抜脱防止ロウソクが提案され、地震時等による衝撃による転倒で、ロウソクの支持針からの抜脱を防止している。しかしながら、不揮発性粘性油は、長期に亘ってその粘度物質の粘着性を確保できない、ロウソクが燃焼した後燭台に不燃物が残り、処分する必要がある等の問題点がある。
特許文献４では、燭台の針の先端部に板状の略三角形の板状突起を設け、ロウソクの孔と嵌合させてロウソクの揺動を防止する提案がされているが、該孔は、各種の燭台に広く適用できるようにその口径が大きめに形成されているため、提案の燭台では、そのロウソクの種類に限定され、種々のロウソクに適用できないという問題がある。
特許文献５では、ロウソク本体下部に非蝋質材よりなる飾り台を設け、該飾り台下部に中空の弾性質材の直立化安定用部品を設けたロウソクが提案され、ロウソクの揺動を防止しているが、その構造が複雑でコストが高い、ロウソクが燃焼した後燭台に不燃物が残り、処分する必要がある等の問題点がある。
特許文献６では、ロウソクの孔部又は燭台いずれかに磁性体を設け、かつ他方に該磁性体を吸着する永久磁石を設けたロウソクの支持構造が提案され、ロウソクの揺動を防止しているが、ロウソクと燭台がマッチングしている必要があり、使い勝手が不便でコストが高い等の問題がある。Patent Document 1 proposes a structure of a candle core in which a candle core is composed of a plurality of spuns arranged in parallel to form a cylindrical shape, one end is crushed and flattened, and this is wound into a conical hole. In addition, since it is in close contact with the support needle of the candlestick, the candle is prevented from swinging and the lower part of the candle is prevented from being damaged. However, there are problems in that the conventional candle core structure is time-consuming and expensive, and that a hole having a stable dimension cannot be manufactured.
In Patent Document 2, a candle in which a candle hole is filled with a hard brick is proposed to prevent the candle from swinging or falling off. However, the above-mentioned conventional candle structure has a problem in that the density of the wrinkles varies, the insertion becomes difficult depending on the size of the support needle, and the smell of hair is generated during burning of the candle hole.
Patent Document 3 proposes a removal-preventing candle in which a sticky substance containing a non-volatile viscous oil is filled in the hole of the candle, and prevents the candle from being detached from the support needle by a fall due to an impact caused by an earthquake or the like. ing. However, the non-volatile viscous oil has problems such as that the stickiness of the viscous substance cannot be secured for a long period of time, and that incombustibles remain on the candlestick after the candle burns and need to be disposed of.
In Patent Document 4, there is a proposal to prevent a candle from swinging by providing a plate-like substantially triangular plate-like protrusion at the tip of a candlestick needle and fitting it into a hole in the candle. Since the diameter of the candlestick is large so that it can be widely applied to various candlesticks, the proposed candlestick has a problem that it is limited to the type of candle and cannot be applied to various candles.
Patent Document 5 proposes a candle in which a decoration stand made of a non-waxy material is provided at the lower part of the candle body, and a hollow elastic material upright stabilization component is provided at the lower part of the decoration base to prevent the candle from swinging. However, there are problems such as complicated structure and high cost, incombustible material remaining in the candlestick after burning the candle, and disposal.
In Patent Document 6, a candle support structure is proposed in which a magnetic body is provided in either the candle hole or the candlestick, and a permanent magnet that adsorbs the magnetic body is provided on the other side to prevent the candle from swinging. However, there is a problem that the candle and the candlestick need to be matched, which is inconvenient and expensive.

上述するような従来技術に鑑み、本考案では、ロウソクを燭台や提灯等の針へ容易に着脱でき、ロウソクの揺動や転倒による火災の発生を防止でき、ロウソクの大きさによる孔種類に関係なく、各種燭台や提灯の針へ装着でき、環境にやさしいロウソクを提供することを課題とする。 In view of the prior art as described above, in the present invention, a candle can be easily attached to and detached from a candlestick, a lantern, etc., and the occurrence of a fire due to the swinging or falling of the candle can be prevented. The challenge is to provide an environmentally friendly candle that can be attached to various candlesticks and lantern needles.

本考案の考案者は、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、以下の構成を有する考案を完成するに至った。
本考案の基本的な構成は、ロウソク本体と、ロウソク本体のほぼ中心に位置する芯とによって構成され、ロウソク本体の下部に、ロウソクをロウソク立てに設置する際にロウソク立ての針を挿入するための孔が設けられているロウソクにおいて、該孔に植物性発泡樹脂を設けたことを特徴とするもので、本考案の構成によって上記課題を実現できる。
上記植物性発泡樹脂は、トウモロコシなどのデンプンから得られる乳酸を原料とする植物由来の自然循環型のビーズ法発泡樹脂等が挙げられる。The inventor of the present invention has intensively studied to solve the above problems, and as a result, has come up with a device having the following configuration.
The basic configuration of the present invention is composed of a candle body and a core located at the center of the candle body, and a candle holder needle is inserted into the lower part of the candle body when the candle is placed on the candle holder. In the candle provided with the hole, a vegetable foaming resin is provided in the hole, and the above-mentioned problem can be realized by the configuration of the present invention.
Examples of the plant foamed resin include plant-derived natural circulation type beaded foam resin using lactic acid obtained from starch such as corn as a raw material.

本考案のロウソクは、ロウソク立ての針を挿入するための孔に植物性発泡樹脂を設けているので、ロウソクを燭台や提灯等の針へ容易に着脱でき、ロウソクの種類による孔大きさに関係なく、ロウソクの孔と燭台や提灯の針との間に隙間ができないので、ロウソクの揺動や転倒による火災の発生を防止でき、植物性発泡樹脂であるので、燃焼してもカーボンニュートラルで環境にやさしく、ロウソクの孔に直接針が接触していないので、ロウソク下端部を不用意に壊すことがない。 The candle of the present invention has a plant foam resin in the hole for inserting the candlestick needle, so the candle can be easily attached to and detached from the needles of candlesticks and lanterns and related to the hole size depending on the type of candle In addition, since there is no gap between the candle hole and the candlestick or lantern needle, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of fire due to the swinging or falling of the candle. Because the needle is not in direct contact with the candle hole, the lower end of the candle is not inadvertently broken.

以下、本考案を実施するための具体的な態様について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, specific modes for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図１は、本考案のロウソク１０の実施例を示す側面図で、下部の一部を破断図で示している。
同図において、１１はロウソク本体で、１２は、ロウソク本体のほぼ中心に位置する芯、１３は、ロウソク本体１１下部に設けた孔、２０は、該孔１３に充填した植物性発泡樹脂である。孔１３は、従来公知の孔大きさより大きく形成され、該孔１３へ植物性発泡樹脂２０が挿入嵌合されている。植物性発泡樹脂２０は金型にて形成され、孔１３と嵌合する形状であるが、植物性発泡樹脂２０の形状の方がやや大きく形成され、挿入嵌合時に無理に挿入し、植物性発泡樹脂２０外形が圧縮され、孔１３に嵌合固着される。外形の小さいロウソク１１の孔１３は小さいので、ロウソク１１下部外周の割れを防止する目的で、発泡倍率が大きく、外形の大きいロウソク１１の孔１３は大きいので、発泡倍率の小さいものが適宜選択される。植物性発泡樹脂２０外形部は圧縮されて密度が高いが、中心部は圧縮されないので、発泡密度は所定の発泡密度であり、針３１（図２）が容易に挿入され、針３１に押し退けられた分だけ針３１の周囲の発泡密度が高くなり、ロウソク１１のグラツキを防止する。
図２は燭台３０で、ベース３２上に蝋を受ける皿３３と、皿３３中心に針３１が設けられている。FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a candle 10 of the present invention, and a part of the lower part is shown in a cutaway view.
In the figure, 11 is a candle body, 12 is a core located substantially at the center of the candle body, 13 is a hole provided in the lower part of the candle body 11, and 20 is a plant foam resin filled in the hole 13. . The hole 13 is formed larger than a conventionally known hole size, and the plant foam resin 20 is inserted and fitted into the hole 13. The vegetable foam resin 20 is formed by a mold and has a shape that fits into the hole 13, but the shape of the plant foam resin 20 is formed to be slightly larger, and it is forcibly inserted during insertion fitting. The outer shape of the foamed resin 20 is compressed and fitted and fixed in the hole 13. Since the hole 13 of the candle 11 having a small outer shape is small, the expansion ratio is large and the hole 13 of the candle 11 having a large external shape is large for the purpose of preventing cracking of the outer periphery of the lower part of the candle 11. The The plant foam resin 20 outer shape is compressed and has a high density, but the center portion is not compressed, so the foam density is a predetermined foam density, and the needle 31 (FIG. 2) is easily inserted and pushed away by the needle 31. Accordingly, the foam density around the needle 31 is increased, and the candle 11 is prevented from being scattered.
FIG. 2 shows a candlestick 30 in which a tray 33 for receiving wax on a base 32 and a needle 31 at the center of the tray 33 are provided.

植物性発泡樹脂２０の他の実施例として、孔１３と同形状に植物性発泡樹脂２０を形成し、外周にディンプル（図示せず）等の突起を設けて挿入嵌合してもよい。
また、植物性発泡樹脂２０の下部中心に三角錐の凹部２１を設け、針３１のガイドとしてもよい。As another embodiment of the plant foam resin 20, the plant foam resin 20 may be formed in the same shape as the hole 13, and a protrusion such as a dimple (not shown) may be provided on the outer periphery for insertion fitting.
Alternatively, a triangular pyramid recess 21 may be provided in the center of the lower part of the vegetable foam resin 20 to serve as a guide for the needle 31.

上記作用は、まず燭台３０の針３１先端部へロウソク１０の下部植物性発泡樹脂２０に設けた三角錐の凹部２１へ当接し、ロウソク１２をほぼ垂直に立て押し込む。さらに押し込み、ロウソク１１下端部が燭台３０の皿３３に当接させ、ロウソク１１を垂直に立てる。芯に点灯し燃焼させ、最後になると植物性発泡樹脂２０も燃え尽きてしまい、有毒なガス等の発生はない。 In the above-described operation, first, the tip of the needle 31 of the candlestick 30 is brought into contact with the concave portion 21 of the triangular pyramid provided in the lower vegetable foam resin 20 of the candle 10, and the candle 12 is pushed up almost vertically. Further, the candle 11 is pushed down so that the lower end of the candle 11 is brought into contact with the plate 33 of the candlestick 30, and the candle 11 is set up vertically. At the end, the plant foam resin 20 is burned out and no toxic gas is generated.
