Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to improvement of an incense stick mainly used as an incense stick holder, characterized in that ash of the incense stick is not scattered outside by providing a large number of notches on a side surface. It is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
This kind of incense stick used for standing incense sticks is relatively long, usually about 30 cm. Therefore, when the ash generated by the combustion breaks naturally and falls, it tends to be scattered outside the incense holder, which is not safe for fire prevention, and has the disadvantage that the ash that has soiled the area must be cleaned up.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-53938 discloses an incense stick having a cutout on the side surface. The cut-out portion of the incense stick of the prior application is intended to adjust the burning time short by igniting a long incense stick, as in the present invention. There is a difference in the basic concept in that a notch is not provided so as to shorten the length of the ash.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention aims to prevent the scattering of ash caused by combustion when a long incense stick is used as described above, and to enable safe and clean use of this kind of incense stick. is there.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a means for solving the above-described problems, the present invention provides, on the side surface of the incense stick, a large number of notches at appropriate intervals in the length direction, and the ash of the incense caused by combustion is provided for each of the notches. It is intended to provide an incense stick characterized in that the incense is configured to be sequentially folded and fall naturally.
[0005]
The incense stick of the present invention provided with the notch portion as described above, when the burning position is lowered and passes through the notch portion, the ash above the notch portion, which has lost the inherent rigidity of the incense stick, is sequentially broken naturally. And falls at a certain position almost directly below the incense stick as shown in the figure. Therefore, there is no scattering of ash, it is also a precautionary measure of fire, and it is not necessary to clean up the ash, so that the area around the incense stick can be kept clean.
[0006]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention together with a use state thereof.
[0007]
In the figure, 1 is a commonly used incense stick having a circular cross section, 2 is a large number of cutouts provided on the side surface of the incense stick 1 at relatively short intervals along the length direction, 3 is an incense stick, Reference numeral 4 denotes ash stored in the incense stand.
[0008]
The illustrated incense stick 1 has a length of about 30 centimeters, a diameter of about 2 millimeters, and a gap between the cutouts 2 of about 1 centimeter. , The notch angle and the like are appropriately set according to the size of the incense stick to be applied.
[0009]
When the burning position of the incense stick 1 set in the incense stick 3 and ignited goes down beyond the notch portion 2, the portion of the ash 5 above the notch portion 2 becomes the original rigidity of the incense stick. In addition to the loss, the independence stability is impaired by the cuts, so that the cuts are naturally spontaneously broken, and fall to a substantially constant position almost immediately below the standing position, as indicated by an imaginary line in the figure.
[0010]
In the incense stick of the present invention that burns as described above, the ash 5 is broken at every length determined by the cutout portion, and the falling position is constant almost directly below the standing position. Therefore, it can be used that the ash 5 is not scattered out of the vessel and that the ash 5 does not dissipate, so that it is not unnecessary.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
The incense stick of the present invention configured as described above and used as described above is characterized in that every time the combustion position goes down and passes through the notch portion, the ash from the notch portion naturally breaks and falls sequentially. , Falls into a fixed position almost immediately below the standing position. Therefore, there is no scattering of ash, it is also a precautionary measure for fire, and it is not necessary to clean up the ash, so that the area around the incense stick can be kept clean. The present invention has excellent effects as described above.

Claims (1)

A large number of notches are provided on the side surface of the incense stick at appropriate intervals in the length direction, so that the ash of the incense caused by combustion is naturally cut out and falls down sequentially for each notch. Incense that is characterized by doing.
