BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a candle that does not drip a combustion agent when used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been a problem in the industry to make a candle in which a combustion agent does not drip when used, and several proposals have been made for that purpose. For example, a candle in which a polyethylene film is wrapped around the entire circumference of the candle body (Actually No. 57-200540), a candle in which a synthetic resin thin film such as a polyester film is wrapped around the outer circumference of the candle (Actual No. 56-39451), There is a candle (Shinkai 58-8850) in which aluminum foil is wrapped around the entire side surface of the candle and has perforated holes for separating unnecessary portions.

[0003]

However, a candle wrapped with a synthetic resin thin film of polyethylene, polyester, etc. (Act. 57-25040, Act 56-3945).
In 1), the thin film is melted or deformed by the heat of the combustion flame, and there is almost no effect of preventing the melted wax from flowing down. Furthermore, in a candle (actually developed 58-7850) in which an aluminum foil is wrapped around the side of the candle, the foil transfers heat of the combustion flame to the lower side of the candle, so that the wax excessively melts, so that the molten wax flows down. It tends to happen. Also, as the candle burns, the flame disappears into the foil and becomes invisible, so the work of separating the unnecessary portion of the foil is such that the perforated holes for separating the unnecessary portion of the foil are placed sideways. Even if it is opened, it is not convenient, and there is a risk of burns due to the heat of the combustion flame, which is not preferable.

The object of the present invention is that the combustion agent does not drip at the time of use, is easy to handle, and can be used as a disposable item.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An example of the candle of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example of the candle of the present invention. The candle 4 comprises a combustion agent and a combustion body 2 composed of a combustion wick inserted and arranged inside the combustion agent.
It is composed of a molten wax flow-down preventive body 3 formed by mounting a composite on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body, and is further mounted so that the combustion flame 1 is not hidden. 2 is a perspective view showing another example of the candle of the present invention. When the composite is attached, the molten wax flow-down preventive body 3 is attached so that its height is higher than that of the combustion flame 1. There is. In the candle of the form shown in FIG. 1, since the preventive body 3 functions as a weir that prevents the melted wax from flowing down, the burning agent does not drip. In addition, in the candle having the form as shown in FIG. 2, the preventive body 3 functions as a weir for preventing the molten wax from flowing down, the combustion agent does not drip, and the preventive body 3 also functions as a squirt. Therefore, the burning flame is hard to extinguish even when used under windy conditions, and it is useful for outdoor use, thereby broadening the range of usage of the candle of the present invention, resulting in a better candle.

The combustor 2 used in the present invention is, for example, a hydrocarbon compound such as paraffin wax, a higher fatty acid such as stearic acid, an ester of a higher fatty acid such as wood wax or beeswax and a higher alcohol, a higher fat such as stearyl alcohol. It is a known combustor composed of a combusting agent containing a group alcohol as a main component, and a string-shaped combustion core containing a combustible fiber as a main component. The shape and size of the combustion body 2 are not particularly limited, but in order to adhere the composite to the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2 and to exert the function as the melted wax flow-down prevention body, there is not much unevenness. A simple shape is preferred.
A columnar shape, a prismatic shape, an inverted conical shape, a truncated cone shape, an inverted truncated cone shape, etc. are particularly desirable due to the ease of mounting the composite body on the combustion body 2 and the difficulty of thermal deformation during use. .

The composite body mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2 is
In order for the molten-wax-downflow-preventing body 3 formed of the composite to function as a weir that prevents the molten wax from flowing down, it is said that it has heat resistance, does not undergo thermal deformation, and does not penetrate the liquid. Characteristics are required. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of a candle in which the height of the molten wax flow-down preventive body 3 is higher than that of the combustion flame 1, the light from the combustion flame 1 is blocked by the preventive body 3 and becomes invisible. Since the decoration effect of the candle cannot be exhibited, it is desirable that the composite material forming the preventive body 3 has a function of allowing the light to be seen through the composite material. Also,
It is desirable that it can be used as a disposable item, the composite itself can be easily handled at the time of making a candle, and can be made at low cost.

As a result of studying the characteristics which the above composite should have, it was found that the synthetic resin and the plant fiber integrated and made thin have the characteristics. Now, assuming a thin body composed of vegetable fibers as a material constituting the molten wax flow-preventing body, and paper as an example thereof,
Paper has rigidity and heat resistance and does not undergo thermal deformation. On the other hand, however, it has the property of allowing liquid to permeate, so that the molten wax seeps out and flows down, or the molten wax is sucked up and contacted by a combustion flame. There is a problem that it may become a combustion core and burn up.

Next, assuming a synthetic resin as a material forming the molten wax flow-preventing body, since the synthetic resin has a characteristic that liquid does not permeate, the molten wax does not exude and flow down. However, in general, it is inferior in heat resistance and is susceptible to thermal deformation, and as a result of thermal deformation, solder dripping tends to occur.
Not only does it look unsightly, but it may come into contact with the burning flame and burn up.

From the above, as a result of studying the properties required for the composite, it was found that the synthetic resin and the plant fiber are integrated into a thin composite to easily cause thermal deformation of the synthetic resin. It will give resistance and impede the property of penetrating the liquid of the paper, complement each other's defects, have rigidity, heat resistance and less likely to be deformed by heat, and reliably store the molten wax. This is a material having the excellent property that it can be formed, and this is the basic point of the candle of the present invention.

As a form in which the synthetic resin and the plant fiber are integrated to form a thin composite, the synthetic resin thin body and the thin body composed of the plant fiber may be bonded together to form a thin composite. A thin body made of fibers may be impregnated with a synthetic resin to form a composite body. Further, a synthetic resin may be coated on a thin body composed of plant fibers. Further, even if a thin body formed by mixing plant fibers into a synthetic resin and a thin body formed by mixing a synthetic resin at the time of forming a thin body composed of plant fibers are used as a composite body, Good. In addition, a combination of the above methods is used, such as a composite obtained by sticking a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of plant fibers with another synthetic resin to form a composite. May be.

The plant fiber which is a constituent material of the composite includes wood fibers of wood such as red pine, black pine and cedar which are generally pulp raw materials, bast fibers such as mitsumata, kozo, flax, cannabis and jute, cotton and kapok. , Seed hair fiber such as linter, leaf fiber such as Manila hemp, esparto and sisal hemp, vascular fiber such as straw, bamboo and bagasse, and other straw and palm can be used. In addition, rayon, which is a cellulose regenerated fiber derived from vegetable fiber, can also be used. In addition, as the thin body composed of vegetable fiber which is a constituent material of the composite, materials such as cloth, paper, net, knitting, non-woven fabric and warp, leaves made of the above-mentioned vegetable fibers are used. it can. Among them, paper composed of vegetable fibers is preferable as a constituent material of the composite because of the function of allowing light to be seen through them, rigidity, and ease of handling. As the paper, for example, printing paper such as high-quality paper and medium-quality paper, thin paper such as glassine paper and rice paper, calligraphy paper, shoji paper, Japanese calligraphy paper, and Japanese paper such as Unryu paper are used. In particular, the thin paper, Japanese paper or the like light through them
Ri excellent feature that is seen through, light of the combustion flame can be effectively utilized, it can be said that especially preferred as a constituent material of the complex.

Further, as another constituent material is a synthetic resin composite, for example, amino resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins, polyester resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, polycarbonate resins, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, polypropylene , Polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, 6-nylon, polytetrafluoroethylene,
Polyimide or the like can be used. Further, synthetic cellulose resins such as regenerated cellulose and cellulose acetate can also be used. When a synthetic resin thin body is attached to a thin body composed of plant fibers to form a composite, a film or sheet produced by a melting method or a solution method in the above synthetic resin is optional. Can be used for Furthermore, if a composite obtained by impregnating or coating a synthetic resin on a thin body composed of plant fibers is used, for example, any of those usable as a synthetic resin for paint can be arbitrarily selected for the purpose of the processing. You can also choose.

The material, material, thickness, etc. of the plant fiber or the thin body composed of the plant fiber and the synthetic resin, which are the constituent materials of the composite, are the combustion amount of the combustor 2 per unit time, the combustion flame 1 And the prevention body 3 and the prevention body 3
The material may be appropriately selected according to the usage conditions in consideration of the heat resistance required in various usage conditions, such as the heat stagnation when the function as a sea squirt is added as shown in FIG. Further, not only in the case where the composite body is composed only of the individual materials of the plant fiber or the thin body composed of the plant fiber and the synthetic resin, for example, the composite body is composed of the combination of the Japanese paper and the cloth and the epoxy resin. Or make a composite with shoji paper and unsaturated polyester resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, or make a composite with a combination of linen and bamboo skin and polyethylene, acrylic resin, polyvinylidene chloride You may let me.

Since the composite is a component of a candle with a burning flame, it is desirable that the composite be flame-retardant from the viewpoint of fire safety. By imparting flame retardancy to at least one of a synthetic resin and a plant fiber or a thin body composed of plant fiber, which is a constituent material of the composite, the molten wax flow-preventing body 3 composed of the composite becomes difficult. Since it has flammability, it can be made into a candle in consideration of safety against fire in addition to the excellent function that the burning agent does not drip when the candle is used. On the other hand, when a composite having no flame retardancy is used, the molten wax flow-down preventive body 3 formed of the composite takes into consideration the combustion amount of the combustion body 2 per unit time and the fluctuation of the combustion flame 1. It is necessary to secure a sufficient distance from the combustion flame 1 so that the combustion flame 1 does not come into contact with it, and if such consideration is taken, even if a composite body having no flame retardancy is used, the preventive body The situation of igniting and burning does not occur.

Flame retardancy is imparted by adding a flame retardant such as an antimony compound such as diantimony trioxide, a phosphorus-containing nitrogen compound or a guanidine compound to a plant fiber or a thin body composed of the plant fiber. You can let me do it. On the other hand, in the synthetic resin, for example polyvinyl chloride, polychlorinated vinylidene, polycarbonate, etc.,
Some of them have flame retardancy themselves, and these may be used. Further, in addition to the above addition type flame retardants in the above synthetic resins or other synthetic resins, chlorine compounds such as chloroendo acid which is a reaction type flame retardant, bromine compounds such as tetrabromophthalic anhydride, phosphorus-containing polyols, etc. The flame retardant may be used to impart flame retardancy.

When a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of plant fibers are laminated to form a composite, the latter may be laminated on one side or both sides of the former, or the former may be laminated on both sides of the latter. May be combined. In addition to the case where the former and the latter are made of a single material, a plurality of the former and the latter may be laminated to form a composite. A well-known sticking or bonding means is used to bond the thin bodies together. In addition, as a method for bonding, methods such as wet lamination, extrusion lamination, and dry lamination are used depending on the constituent material and material of the composite.

Next, when a thin body composed of plant fibers is impregnated or coated with a synthetic resin to form a composite, a vinyl acetate resin, an acrylic resin, etc. are made into an emulsion aqueous liquid, and cellulose acetate or the like is synthesized. Cellulose resin, vinyl chloride resin, etc. are made into an oil-soluble liquid, impregnated or coated, and then volatilized and dried. The composite, et poke <br/> shea resins, thermosetting resins such as unsaturated polyester resins, polymerized by impregnation or coated polymer dried into a thin-shaped body constructed in accordance with the plant fiber in a fluidized state, by solidifying The body. Further, thermoplastic resins such as heat-meltable vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene and polypropylene can be coated with the heat-meltable resin on the surface of a thin body composed of plant fibers to be cooled and solidified to form a composite. . Further, a desired complex may be prepared by a known means other than the above.

The means for mounting the composite on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2 to form the molten wax flow-down preventing body 3 is to wind the composite on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2 which has been formed in advance, and apply a known adhesive or adhesive method. The protective member 3 is fixed by means of a means, or the composite is used to form the preventive body 3 by a known means of adhesion or adhesion, and the combustion body 2 formed on the preventive body 3.
May be inserted and fixed. At this time, the composite may be arranged a plurality of times in layers on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body. If necessary, the combustion body 2 and the prevention body 3 may be attached or fixed by adhering or adhering.

Further, when the composite is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2 to form the molten braze flow-down preventive body 3, even if any surface of the composite body faces the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 2, the prevention is performed. Body 3
There is no problem in the function as a weir that prevents the molten wax from flowing down.

Further, a molded body obtained by molding a synthetic resin film or sheet by vacuum molding, pressure molding or the like, or a molded body molded by extrusion molding or injection molding of synthetic resin, and a thin body made of plant fibers. It is also possible to stick the above by sticking or adhering it by a known means to form the preventive body 3, and insert and fix the combustion body 2 therein to obtain the candle of the present invention. At this time, the combustion body 2 and the prevention body 3 may be attached and fixed by adhesion or adhesion, if necessary. Further, the candle of the present invention may be prepared by holding the combustion wick in the center of the molded preventive body 3 and pouring the molten combusting agent to solidify.
