Description

  The present invention relates to an incense holder jig, and more particularly to an incense holder jig used in an incense stick-shaped incense container. In addition, the said incense stick container means all the containers used as an incense stick holder.

  In order to prevent the incense stick attached to the ash in the container from falling down and causing a fire, a shallow dish-shaped guide dish with a number of incense stick insertion holes drilled in the bottom wall is detachably fitted into the top opening. An incense stick container is known (Patent Document 1).

  In order to facilitate the removal of incense burners, there is also known an incense container in which a wire mesh plate with good thermal conductivity is attached to the opening of the incense container instead of the guide plate (Patent Document 2).

Furthermore, in order to ensure that the incense sticks are prevented from falling down, an incense sticking jig is also known in which several peripheral portions of the metal mesh plates stacked in two upper and lower stages are connected and housed in the incense stick container (Patent Document 3). ).

  In the containers of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, since the lower part of the incense stick is inserted into the ash through the incense stick insertion hole or the wire mesh plate of the guide plate, each incense stick becomes slanted when inserting a plurality of incense sticks, and the appearance becomes worse There was a fear. Since the jig of patent document 3 has piled up and down the wire mesh board, if the mesh of both wire meshes coincides, the incense stick can stand upright, but if they do not coincide, the incense stick is arranged vertically. I can't.

  Moreover, in the thing of patent document 1 thru | or patent document 3, there exists an inconvenience that an incense stick becomes deeply inserted in ash, the part which remains unburned increases, and the height of the aligned incense stick becomes uneven.

  Furthermore, in the thing of patent document 2, since the fire of an incense stick extinguishes by contact with the wire mesh attached to the opening part of an incense stick container, when there is little quantity of the ash in an incense stick container, the unburned residue of an incense stick increases.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an incense holder jig that can stand an incense stick in an incense stick container in a good and efficient manner.

The first means is an incense sticking jig used for an incense stick container having an upper end opening for storing incombustible powder such as ash,
A stopper member (20) used by embedding in the powder, and an incense holder body (2) used on the stopper member (20) on the surface of the powder;
The incense stick body (2) has a pair of upper and lower guide plates (4, 6) each provided with the same number of incense stick insertion holes (10) formed concentrically as viewed from above, with a constant interval. It is rigidly connected at the connecting part (8),
The stopper member (20) is composed of a stopper plate (22) and a vertical bar (24) erected from the upper surface of the stopper plate (22) with a length corresponding to the insertion margin of the incense stick,
The size of the stopper plate (22) is at least inserted into the incense stick container C through its opening and can be installed on the bottom surface of the incense stick container in a horizontal state.
The length of the vertical bar (24) of the stopper member (20) regulates the allowance for inserting the incense stick into the powder .

    This means has a function of adjusting the direction of the incense stick inserted into the ash and the insertion depth thereof.

In order to arrange the incense stick body in the vertical direction, the “incense stick body” is arranged with the incense stick insertion holes in the upper and lower guide plates so that the incense stick insertion holes are concentrically overlapped when viewed from the vertical direction. However, in order to facilitate the insertion of the incense stick into the incense stick insertion hole, it is necessary to take a certain amount of play between the hole face and the incense stick peripheral surface, so that the inclination angle of the incense stick from the vertical direction is within an allowable range (for example, 2 (4 degrees). The interval between the upper and lower guide plates is preferably designed so that the inclination of the incense stick falls within an allowable range according to the play as described later. In addition, although the said incense stick insertion hole may be single, it is desirable to drill several. In addition, the guide plate has sufficient rigidity to maintain at least the vertical state of the incense stick. In this means, the “rigid coupling” means that the guide plates are fixed to each other at the connecting portions so that the incense insertion holes of the respective guide plates do not deviate from the overlapping position when viewed from above and below.
The “stopper member” is formed by vertically raising a vertical bar from a stopper plate embedded horizontally in ash. This vertical bar is of a fixed size according to the insertion allowance of the desired incense stick like a kind of ruler, and when it is embedded in the ash together with the stopper plate, the upper end of the bar appears on the surface of the ash. This is for keeping the embedding depth of the constant. “Standard” means that the protrusion length from the stopper plate intended by the user can be maintained, and is not intended to exclude anything that can adjust the protrusion length. In addition, it is desirable that three or more vertical bars are erected from the outer peripheral portion of the stopper plate at a distance from each other. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the embedding of the incense stick container in the ash, it is preferable to form the incense stick container as a separate member.

As a second means, having a first means and the upper guide plate (4) to form a heat conductive material such as stainless steel.

  In this means, the upper guide plate is formed of a material having good thermal conductivity so that the incense stick extinguishes when it comes into contact with the hole surface of the incense stick insertion hole. The gap between the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate has a meaning as a pinch allowance, and the incense stick portion having a length corresponding to the pinch allowance is upward from the ash after the incense holder body is removed. Because it sticks out, it is easy to remove unburned incense sticks. The length of the suitable picking margin is about 8 to 10 mm. Further, as the heat conductive material, a metal or a glassy material can be considered. Although the entire upper guide plate is preferably formed of a heat conductive material, a heat conductive layer may be provided on the surface of the base material like an enamel.

The 3rd means had the 1st means or the 2nd means, and formed the perforation upper edge chamfer part (14) of each incense stick insertion hole of the above-mentioned pair of upper and lower guide plates (4, 6).

  In this means, a chamfered portion 14 is provided on the upper edge of the hole surface of each incense stick insertion hole so that the incense stick can be easily inserted into the incense stick insertion hole. This chamfered portion is desirably performed on the upper edge of the hole surface of the incense stick insertion hole of each of the upper and lower guide plates, but may be either one.

The invention according to the first means has the following effects.
○ Because the incense stick insertion holes 10 of the upper and lower guide plates 4 and 6 are arranged concentrically when viewed from above, it is easy to stand the incense stick in the vertical direction, and both guide plates are rigidly connected. The incense stick guide hole does not deviate from the overlapping position during use.
○ Since the stopper member 20 embedded in the powder in the incense stick container is provided, the incense stick is not inserted into the powder more than necessary, and the height of the incense stick is also uniform, so that the appearance is even better.

According to the invention relating to the second means, the following effects are produced.
○ Since the upper guide plate 4 provided at a certain distance from the lower guide plate 6 for placing on the ash surface is made of a heat conductive material, the surface of the ash is removed when removing unburned incense sticks. Thus, the upper part of the incense stick always protrudes by a certain distance, and the protruding length of the incense stick from the surface of the ash does not become unnecessarily long as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, so that the incense stick can be prevented from being wasted.
○ Since the incense stick is extinguished using the heat conductive guide plate 4 with the incense insertion hole 10, the amount of heat conduction is larger than that of the wire mesh used in Patent Document 2, and the extinction can be surely performed.

  According to the third aspect of the invention, since the upper edge of the hole surface of the incense stick insertion hole 10 of the guide plate is chamfered, it is easy to insert the incense stick into the hole.

  The incense holder jig of the present invention comprises an incense holder body 2 and a stopper member 20.

  The incense holder body 2 is configured such that the outer peripheral portions of a pair of upper and lower metal guide plates 4 and 6 stacked at a certain distance from each other are rigidly connected by a plurality of connectors 8 and each of the guide plates 4 and 6. A plurality of incense stick insertion holes 10 are formed so as to overlap concentrically as viewed from above. In the illustrated example, a knob 12 is erected at the center of the upper guide plate 4 of the incense holder body 2. The incense holder main body 2 is used by being placed on the ash of the incense stick container C as shown in FIG. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the connector 8 includes a cap-attached bolt 8 a that passes through both guide plates 4 and 6 and can be locked to the upper surface of the upper guide plate 4, and a bolt that projects downward from the lower guide plate 6. A nut 8b that engages with the portion and a sleeve 8c that covers the bolt portion between the guide plates 4 and 6 are formed.

  The incense stick insertion hole 10 is equally drilled in substantially the entire upper and lower guide plates 4 and 6. Further, the upper end portion of the hole surface of the incense stick insertion hole 10 of the upper and lower guide plates is a chamfered portion 14, respectively.

  The stopper member 20 has a stopper plate 22 for embedding the incense stick container in the ash, and a vertical bar 24 having the same height is erected from the outer peripheral portion of the stopper plate.

  The incense holder body 2 and the stopper member 20 are separate, and in FIG. 1 showing a state before use, the lower surface of the incense holder body 2 is supported by the upper end of the vertical bar. It should be noted that the vertical lengths of the vertical bars 24 and the gaps between the upper and lower guide plates 4 and 6 fixed by the couplers are preferably adjustable.

  When the incense holder jig of the present invention is used, first, the stopper member 20 shown in FIG. 1 is inserted into the ash A in the incense stick container C from an oblique state and buried, and the stopper plate 22 in the ash. Adjust the posture so that is horizontal. At this time, if the upper ends of the three vertical bars 24 of the stopper member 20 are positioned on the surface of the ash while the surface of the ash is leveled, it is easy to ensure the horizontal state of the stopper plate 22. The incense holder body 2 is placed on the next ash A as shown in FIG. 5, and the incense stick I is inserted through the incense stick insertion holes 10 corresponding to the upper and lower guide plates 4 and 6. Here, for example, even when the work of passing the incense stick is performed in a relatively dark place or when the operator's visual acuity is poor, if the approximate position of the incense stick insertion hole 10 of the upper guide plate 4 is known, the incense stick Using the chamfered portion 14 of the insertion hole 10, the lower end of the incense stick can be guided into the hole. On the other hand, when the incense stick is passed through the incense stick insertion hole 10 of the lower guide plate 4, the upper guide plate 4 becomes an obstacle and the target hole position cannot be confirmed at all. However, since the two incense stick insertion holes are positioned concentrically in the vertical direction, if the incense stick I is inserted into the upper incense stick insertion hole 10 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the upper guide plate 4, As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, the lower end portion of the incense stick often hits the chamfered portion 14 of the lower incense stick insertion hole 10. You can pass in.

  After passing through the pair of upper and lower incense stick insertion holes 10, the lower end of the incense stick enters the ash A and hits the upper surface of the stopper plate 22 as shown in FIG. This can prevent the incense stick from being inserted into the ash more deeply than necessary. In the state of FIG. 6, the incense stick is held by a pair of upper and lower incense stick insertion holes 10, 10 and is maintained in a substantially vertical state.

  When a fire is applied to the upper end of the incense stick, the fire gradually spreads below the incense stick. When the fire reaches the upper guide plate 4, the heat escapes through the upper guide plate 4 and extinguishes. In FIG. 5, since the incense stick is inserted in the center of the incense stick insertion hole for easy explanation, the hole surface and the incense stick are separated from each other, but actually, the play between the incense stick and the incense stick insertion hole is small. An incense stick is in contact with any part of the hole surface, and the incense stick can be extinguished almost certainly at the position of the upper guide plate. After that, when the incense holder body 2 is removed from the top of the ash, as shown in FIG. 7, the unburned incense stick sticks out from the surface of the ash for a certain length. Can do.

[Example]
The structure of the incense holder main body of the present invention will be specifically described based on the illustrated example of FIG. The illustrated incense stick insertion hole 10 may have play between the incense stick to facilitate insertion and removal of the incense stick. If the outer diameter of the incense stick is about 2 mm, the play is preferably 0.5 to 1 mm, and then the incense stick insertion hole is about 2.5 to 3.5 mm.

  Further, the gap between the upper and lower guide plates 4 and 6 is designed so that the inclination angle of the incense stick falls within an allowable range according to the size of the play. There are many possible design methods, but the simplest method is to use CAD (drawing support software) to actually draw a state in which the incense stick with a constant outer diameter through the incense stick insertion hole with a constant hole diameter is tilted to the maximum. Then, the distance between the two guide plates is changed in various ways to obtain the maximum inclination angle θ of the incense stick with respect to the vertical line, provided that this inclination angle is within an allowable range (2-4 degrees as an example). What is necessary is just to set the gap | interval of both the guide plates 4 and 6 as small as possible. Specifically, the incense stick is in contact with the left end P of the lower edge of the lower incense stick insertion hole and the right end Q of the upper edge of the upper incense stick insertion hole (the upper edge of the hole surface portion excluding the chamfered portion in the illustrated example). You can draw as follows. In this example, if the thickness of the incense stick is 2 mm, the thickness of the incense stick insertion hole is about 2.5 mm, and the height difference between the point P and the point Q is about 8 mm (the distance between the guide plates is about 7 mm). The maximum inclination angle θ of the incense stick at this time is about 3 degrees, which falls within the allowable range. In addition, although the inclination angle of 3 degrees seems to be large, this is a case where the inclination is intentionally increased, and if the incense stick is inserted so as to pass through the center of the incense stick insertion hole, the inclination angle should be about half of that. Can do.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the incense insertion hole 10 on the right side of the upper guide plate 4 is passed through the incense insertion hole 10 on the right side of the lower guide plate 6. When the incense stick is passed from the right incense stick insertion hole 10 to the left incense stick insertion hole 10 of the lower guide plate 6, the inclination of the incense stick is about 30 degrees with respect to the vertical direction, which greatly exceeds the allowable range of inclination. In this case, since it is immediately known that the incense stick is not vertical, it is considered that the user does not accidentally pass the incense stick through the adjacent insertion hole.
