Description

  The present invention relates to a candle, particularly a candle that burns over a long period of time when used in conjunction with a pedestal to burn all the wax.

For candles, it has been studied to sustain combustion for a long time and to burn all the wax to leave no unburned wax. Since burning time is increased by burning all the wax, these two problems can be solved together. Patent Document 1 discloses a candle in which a support is provided integrally with a candle, and a lamp core is connected to or close to the support to burn all the wax. Patent Document 2 discloses a candle that uses a wax having a melting point lower than that of the vicinity of the lighting core in order to burn the wax in a portion away from the lighting core.
However, the candles disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have the following problems.

  The candle disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not limited in size or the like. Therefore, in the case of a large candle, as shown in Patent Document 2, the part of the wax away from the lamp core remains without burning. Not all waxes are guaranteed to burn.

  The candle disclosed in Patent Document 2 uses two kinds of waxes having different melting points and cannot be easily manufactured.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-302385 JP-A-2005-060615

  The problem to be solved is to provide a candle that burns for a long time and burns all the wax, which can be easily manufactured.

  The present invention solves the problem mainly by the shapes of the candle body and the pedestal. Solve the problem more efficiently by the material.

The candle with a base of the present invention is
It consists of a candle body and a pedestal on which the candle body is placed,
The surface on the candle body side of the pedestal has a placement plane on which the candle body is placed, and a portion other than the placement plane is inclined downward toward the placement plane,
The said candle main body exists in the inside of the said base by the top view in the state mounted in the said base, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

The unburned residue of the wax is generated when molten wax drops and then solidifies, or when a part of the candle leaves the candle body and falls and does not burn.
The melted and dripped wax and the part that has fallen off the candle body are received by the pedestal and moved close to the mounting plane by the downward tilt of the pedestal. Since the burning of the candle body is performed up to the mounting plane, the molten wax and the portion that has fallen off from the candle body eventually burn.
In addition, the pedestal can be reused by replacing the candle body, which is highly efficient in terms of production cost.

The candle with a base of the present invention is
The cross-sectional shape by a cut surface parallel to the mounting plane of the candle body is substantially circular,
The diameter (r) of the circumscribed circle of the cross-sectional shape is such that (1) h is 0 cm to 1 cm at a location where h is 0 cm to 1 cm with respect to the distance (h) from the mounting plane, and the maximum value of r is 2 cm (2) Above the maximum point, r does not decrease or change with increasing h (as it goes upward), and (3) the top of the candle body (for the above-mentioned installation) It is characterized in that r is 1 cm or less in the portion farthest from the plane.

The problem that the part of the candle away from the lamp core shown in Patent Document 2 remains unburned is that the candle body is thick, only the wax in the center of the candle body melts and burns, and the wax in the peripheral part This is due to the fact that does not melt In order to solve this problem, the upper part of the candle body (the part that burns first) is made sufficiently thin, and the thickness of the candle body is increased downward. It takes a long time for the combustion to reach the bottom, and below it, more wax melts than the top due to the heat of the flame. In addition, the amount of wax increases below, and the combustion time increases.
In order to reliably burn all the waxes without depending on the shape of the candle body, the maximum value of r is preferably 4 cm or less.

The candle with a base of the present invention is
The pedestal is made of metal and is maintained at a temperature higher than the melting point of the wax by the heat of the candle flame.

  By maintaining the pedestal at a temperature higher than the melting point of the wax, the melted and dripped wax and the part that has fallen off the candle body do not stick to the pedestal, and move securely near the mounting plane. To burn.

The candle with a base of the present invention is
A portion of the candle main body that is in contact with the mounting plane has a candle base having good heat conductivity with the pedestal.

  The candle base receives heat from the mounting plane of the pedestal and melts the candle body from below, thereby ensuring that all of the bottom wax is burned in the final stage of burning the candle body.

The candle with a base of the present invention is
The candle body has a substantially plane-symmetric shape with respect to the center plane;
The shape of the surface of the pedestal on the side of the candle body is substantially equal and slightly larger than the shape of the half of the candle body cut at the center plane, and the candle body is accommodated by combining the two pedestals. Is possible.

  The shape of the candle body and the pedestal described above enables a shape such that the two pedestals are combined to accommodate the candle body. It will be excellent in design.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the candle which burns over a long time and burns all the waxes and can be manufactured easily can be provided.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of a candle. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing details of the structure of the candle. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a burning process of a candle. FIG. 4 is a view showing housing of the candle body.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of a candle. A candle body 1 is placed on a pedestal 2. In the plan view, the candle body 1 exists inside the pedestal 2. The pedestal 2 is made of a metal having good thermal conductivity, and its thickness is about 2 mm.

  FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing details of the structure of the candle. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The pedestal 2 is provided with a mounting plane 3. A candle base 4 made of the same material as the pedestal 2 is attached to the bottom of the candle body 1, and the candle base 4 is in contact with the placement plane 3. The core 5 passes through the candle body 1 and is in contact with the candle table 4.

The cross-sectional shape of the candle body 1 by a cutting plane parallel to the placement plane 3 is substantially circular. In the following, the diameter (r) of the circle (the circumscribed circle when the cross-sectional shape is not strictly circular) will be the maximum value of 3 cm at the location indicated as r _{max in} the figure. The distance (h) from the placement plane 3 at the location indicated as r _max is 5 mm. Above the location indicated as r _max , r decreases as it goes upward. At the top of the candle body, the candle body is sharp and r is equal to the thickness of the core 5.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a burning process of a candle. When the candle is ignited, the upper part burns as shown in the left figure.
Thereafter, as the combustion proceeds, the molten wax accumulates at the center of the candle body 1 as shown in the middle figure, and this burns. At this time, the wax at the peripheral portion of the candle body 1 is also melted by the heat of the flame.
There is a possibility that the melted wax may be dropped or the peripheral edge of the candle body 1 may be detached from the candle body 1 and dropped, but in this case, it is received by the pedestal 2. The pedestal 2 has a temperature higher than the melting point of the wax due to the heat of the flame, and is inclined downward toward the mounting plane 3, so that the peripheral portion of the candle body 1 remains in the candle body even when the molten wax is dropped. Even when it is detached from 1 and dropped, the molten wax accumulates around the mounting plane 3.
As the combustion further proceeds, it burns directly above the candle table 4 as shown in the right figure. Here, the heat of the pedestal 2 is transmitted to the bottom of the candle main body 1 via the candle table 4, and the heat of the pedestal 2 is transmitted to the periphery of the mounting plane 3, and is transmitted to the periphery of the mounting plane 3. The melted wax gathers. These all burn.
As a result, all the wax is burned, and only the candle table 4 remains.

  According to Applicant's experiments, the pedestal candle of this example burned continuously for 6 hours.

FIG. 4 is a view showing housing of the candle body. The candle main body 1 can be accommodated by the two pedestals 2, and the design is excellent.
In addition, a pattern and a color can be given to the outer side (the opposite side to the candle main body 1 when burning a candle) of the base 2, and it can also be set as an original design, for example, the shape of a walnut. The same applies to the outside of the candle body 1.

  A candle that burns for a long time and burns all the wax and can be easily manufactured, and can be used by many candle producers and consumers.
