Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a small smoke incense mainly provided in front of a Buddha. In particular, the present invention relates to an incense stick suitable for providing incense in a highly airtight room.

[0002] In the present specification, a blending unit is a weight unit unless otherwise specified.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional incense sticks provided in front of a Buddha (hereinafter simply referred to as "incense sticks") have generally been manufactured as follows. (See Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-6217, etc.) By using tabco as a binding base material (shaping agent, matrix), fragrance (functional component) and other auxiliary materials (dye, fungicide, fragrance preservative, binding aid, etc.) ) Is added to and mixed with the powdered incense composition, water (usually hot water) is added to the mixture, and the mixture is kneaded to form a dumpling. To manufacture.

[0004] Here, the turquoise is a bark (cuticle) or a leaf of an evergreen tree of the family camphoraceae that is blown and ground to be refined. When this tabco is added with water (hot water) and kneaded with a fragrance and other auxiliary materials, it becomes a clay and acts as a shaping agent enabling extrusion molding, and gives sufficient shape retention even after drying. It has a cohesive force and acts as a bonding matrix (matrix). When used as an incense stick, it burns at an appropriate speed (usually 3 to 5 mm / min). For this reason,
Tabco is still the mainstream of incense shaping agents and bonding matrices.

[0005]

The incense stick produced in this manner contains a large amount of cellulose and emits a large amount of smoke because tabco obtained from bark or the like is used as a binding base material.

However, in recent homes, from the viewpoint of room heat insulation and soundproofing properties, the airtightness of not only multi-family homes but also ordinary homes is increasing more than ever.

For this reason, incense sticks which emit a lot of smoke tend to be avoided, and low smoke type incense sticks are being put on the market.

However, as far as the present inventors know, incense sticks having a sufficient low smoke effect have not yet been put on the market.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a low smoke incense having a sufficient smoke reduction effect.

[0010]

A small smoke incense stick according to the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by the following constitution.

In an incense stick containing a fragrance component as a functional component and using a tub powder as a binding base material (matrix), an adsorbent containing activated carbon and hydrated aluminum oxide as essential components
In addition, calcium carbonate is used as a flame retardant and smoke thinner.
And activated carbon, hydrated aluminum oxide and
It is characterized by being formed (shaped) with an incense composition substantially free of a smoke emission reducing agent other than calcium carbonate .

[0012]

[Detailed Description of Means] Next, each component of the above means will be described in detail.

A. The prerequisite for the low smoke incense of the present invention is to include a fragrance component as a functional component and to use tab powder as a binding base material (matrix).

(1) As a fragrance component, animal musk fragrances such as vegetable agarwood, sandalwood, clove, camphor, camphor, etc. One kind is selected from among nautical scents and spirit cats, and two or more kinds are appropriately mixed and used. This amount varies depending on the type of the incense, but is 3% of the total composition.
-10%. If it is less than 3%, it does not easily exceed the threshold value of odor (burn) when burned, and if it exceeds 10%, the scent becomes too tight.

(2) The tub powder is as described above, and the properties vary depending on the place of production and the like depending on the tub collection site (bark and leaves). It also includes what is called "china flour."

The amount of the tub powder depends on the properties of the tub powder, but is usually 10 to 20%. If too much,
If the amount of smoke is easy to generate and the amount is too small, it is difficult to exert the action with the shaping agent and the bonding base material.

Note that less than half of the tub powder may be replaced with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).

B. The first feature of the present invention is that, based on the above premise, the present invention is formed (formed) with a incense composition containing an adsorbent containing activated carbon and hydrated aluminum oxide as essential components.

Here, the activated carbon is a combustible adsorbent, and the hydrated aluminum oxide is a non-combustible adsorbent.
It is difficult for only one of them to achieve the effects of the present invention. In other words, only with the activated carbon, too fast combustion speed of incense, hydrated oxide A
With only luminium , incense is difficult to burn. Usually, the ratio of the two is as follows: when charcoal powder is used as activated carbon, charcoal powder / hydrated acid
Aluminum oxide = 4/6 to 8/2.

(1) As activated carbon, carbon powder is usually used. The charcoal powder is obtained by pulverizing charcoal (for example, having a central particle diameter of 13.5 μm), and assists in burning incense sticks.
It has the function of capturing smoke mainly generated from charcoal.
When activated carbon is used, the adsorptivity becomes too strong, and there is a possibility that even a scent is adsorbed, and the scent function as an incense stick is undesirably reduced.

The blending amount of the coal powder is 30 to 50% based on the whole composition. If it is less than 30%, it is difficult to achieve a low smoke effect, and if it exceeds 50%, the burning rate of the incense stick becomes too fast, which is not desirable.

(2) The hydrated aluminum oxide is a non-combustible adsorbent (for example, having a central particle size of 50 μm) as described below, and exhibits a smoke reducing action together with the above-mentioned coal powder. Therefore, Ri by the be used together with charcoal powder, the appropriate speed burn rate of the incense
It will be adjustable . The blending amount of the hydrated aluminum oxide is set to 10 to 30% depending on the burning rate required for the incense stick.

C. The second feature of the present invention is the above-mentioned A.I. In the prerequisites of the above B. In addition to the adsorbent described above, and a molded incense composition containing calcium carbonate as a combustion delay and smoke thinning agent.

Since calcium carbonate generates carbon dioxide due to strong heat, it has the effect of delaying the burning rate and the effect of reducing the smoke concentration. When blended, the amount is usually 5 to 15%. 5
If it is less than 10%, it is difficult to exhibit the effect of reducing the amount of smoke. If it exceeds 15%, the burning rate will be slowed down, which will cause extinguishing.

D. The small smoke incense stick of the present invention,
Other auxiliary materials (dye, fungicide, fragrance, binding aid,
) Is added and mixed to form a powdered incense composition, and water (normally hot water) is added and kneaded to form a dumpling in the same manner as before. After extrusion, it is cut and dried.

[0026]

EXAMPLES Examples performed to confirm the effects of the present invention will be described below.

(1) About 50 parts of hot water (80 ° C.) was added to 100 parts of the incense composition having the following formulation and kneaded, and the mixture was extruded linearly using a porous die having a hole diameter of 2 mm. Then, it was cut and dried at room temperature for 24 hours on a drying plate to obtain the incense stick of the example.

Formulation of incense sticks Natural flavor 7% Tab powder 15% Charcoal powder 40% Hydrated aluminum oxide 20% Calcium carbonate 10% Other ingredients 8% (2) Same as the small smoke incense of the example obtained above and commercially available The small smoke type incense sticks of the wire diameter (comparative example) were ignited at the same time, respectively.
A wide-mouthed bottle (500 cc) was placed directly above it with a gap of about 1 cm below. Then, was visually determined transparency by smoke in the bottle in a predetermined time unit (5 min) basis.

As a result, in the example, the rear surface could be seen even after 5 minutes had passed, whereas in the comparative example, the film became slightly cloudy after 1 minute had passed.

Low smoke incense [Operation and Effect of the Invention (1) The present invention includes a perfume component as the functional component, in incense to the tab powder bonding matrix (matrix), activated carbon and hydrated aluminum oxide
A configuration in which an incense composition containing an adsorbent containing nickel as an essential component is shaped (shaped) can provide an incense stick having a sufficient smoke reduction effect.

The reason is that activated carbon and hydrated aluminum oxide
Um and, respectively, act as flammable and non-flammable adsorbent, with moderate adjust the burn rate of the incense, both the smoke is estimated to adsorb synergistically.

(2) Another aspect of the present invention is that, by adding calcium carbonate to the incense stick composition in addition to the above, in addition to the effect described in the above (1), the calcium carbonate can burn the incense stick. At that time, it is ignited to generate carbon dioxide, which slows down the burning speed of the incense stick and dilutes the smoke, so that the apparent amount of smoke can be reduced.
