  However, in the conventional candle stand, since the periphery of the candle is covered with a cylindrical candle cover, sufficient air is not supplied to the core of the candle, the candle flame is small, and the emitted light becomes dark, In addition, smoke due to incomplete combustion may occur.

Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in the candle cover that surrounds the outer periphery of the candle, in the circumferential direction while gradually rotating from the outer peripheral side lower part toward the inner peripheral side upper part outwardly from the outer peripheral side of the candle. A plurality of wing bodies inclined in the same manner are arranged on a concentric circle so that an upward swirling flow is generated around the candle flame by the wing bodies .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the candle stand in which a candle cover that surrounds the outer periphery of the candle is provided on the upper part of the candle table on which the candle is placed, the candle cover has an outer periphery on the outer periphery of the candle. A plurality of wing bodies inclined in a circumferential direction while gradually rotating in a circular arc shape from the lower side to the upper side on the inner circumference side are arranged on a concentric circle, and an upward swirling flow is generated around the candle flame by the wing bodies. I decided to make it generate.

  And in this invention, there exists an effect described below.

  That is, in the present invention, a plurality of wing bodies inclined in the circumferential direction from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side are arranged concentrically on the outer periphery of the candle, and an upward swirling flow is generated around the candle flame. Since it is configured to be generated, the candle flame can be swung upward by the upward swirling flow formed around the candle flame, and a large and bright flame can be formed, Since sufficient air (oxygen) is supplied, the vaporized fuel (fuel) can be completely burned and the generation of smoke can be suppressed.

The top view (a), plane sectional view (b), and front sectional view (c) showing a candle stand according to the second embodiment.

  Hereinafter, specific configurations of the candle cover and the candle stand according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Example 1]
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the candle holder 1 according to the first embodiment covers the upper part of the candle table 3 on which the candle 2 is placed, and places the candle cover 5 on the upper part of the lid 4. Then, the cylindrical body 6 is attached to the outer periphery of the upper part of the candle cover 5, the support body 7 is placed on the upper part of the tubular body 6, the windmill 8 is placed on the upper part of the support body 7, and the decorative body 9 is placed on the upper part of the windmill 8. Is placed.

  The candle stand 3 has a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open top, and the candle 2 is placed on the bottom.

  The lid 4 is placed on the upper opening of the candle table 3, and a circular opening 10 through which the candle 2 or the flame of the candle 2 is inserted is formed at the center, and a plurality of (here, 12 Are formed in a circular shape.

  The candle cover 5 has a generally annular shape surrounding the outer periphery of the flame of the candle 2 or the candle 2, and a plurality of (in this case, 12) wing bodies 13 are placed on the top of the annular ring 12. They are arranged in a circumferential direction on concentric circles centering on the center of the candle cover 5 (the center of the candle 2). Each wing body 13 is inclined in an arc shape in the circumferential direction in plan view from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side (toward the center side of the candle cover 5).

  The candle cover 5 has a plurality of wing bodies 13 inclined in a circumferential direction from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side on the outer periphery of the candle 2 in a concentric circle so that the heat of the flame of the candle 2 is increased. The ascending air current generated in step 1 is swirled around the flame around the flame of the candle 2, and as a result, the ascending swirl flow is generated around the flame of the candle 2. The shape of the wing body 13 is not particularly limited as long as it can generate an upward swirling flow above the candle 2, and is straight from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side at a predetermined inclination angle. You may make it incline in a shape, and you may make it make it gradually go upwards.

  The cylindrical body 6 has a hollow cylindrical shape having translucency, and a lower end opening is fitted into the upper outer periphery of the candle cover 5.

  The support body 7 has a support leg 14 extended from the center in three directions attached to the upper end opening of the cylindrical body 6, and a cylindrical support recess 15 is formed at the center upper part.

  The windmill 8 is rotatably inserted into the support recess 15 of the support body 7 by rotating the rotation shaft 16 to form a plurality (five in this case) of rotating blade bodies 17 on the outer periphery of the rotation shaft 16. A cylindrical cup 18 is formed on the shaft 16. A liquid fragrance or the like can be poured into the cup 18, and the decorative body 9 can be detachably mounted.

  In the candle stand 1, when the candle 2 is ignited with the fragrance injected into the cup 18, the upward air flow generated by the heat of the flame of the candle 2 becomes an upward swirling flow by the candle cover 5. Then, the upward swirling flow formed around the flame of the candle 2 can extend the candle 2 in a spiral shape to form a large and bright flame, and sufficient air (oxygen) is generated. Since it is supplied, the vaporized wax (fuel) can be completely burned to suppress the generation of smoke. Note that new air (oxygen) is supplied from between the air inlet 11 of the lid 4 and the adjacent wing body 13 of the candle cover 5.

  Further, in the candle stand 1, the fragrance injected into the cup 18 by the heat of the flame of the candle 2 can be vaporized and diffused around. In that case, the vaporized fragrance | flavor can be spread | diffused favorably toward a horizontal direction with the windmill 8, and rotation of the windmill 8 can be visually recognized by rotation of the decoration body 9. FIG.

[Example 2]
As shown in FIG. 4, in the candle holder 19 according to the second embodiment, a candle cover 22 that surrounds the outer periphery of the candle 20 is installed on the top of the candle table 21 on which the candle 20 is placed.

  The candle stand 21 is made of a material having permeability such as wood, and has a candle receiving recess 23 for placing the candle 20 in the upper center portion, and a cup for injecting liquid fragrance etc. in the upper peripheral portion. 24 is formed, and a leg 25 is formed at the bottom. A candle holder 26 made of metal is attached to the candle receiving recess 23. Further, the cup 24 has a raised upper peripheral edge. A plurality of cups 24 may be formed.

  The candle cover 22 has a substantially annular shape surrounding the outer periphery of the flame of the candle 20 or the candle 20, and a plurality of (here, 12) wings around the candle receiving recess 23 of the candle base 21. The body 27 is detachably attached in a circumferential direction on a concentric circle centering on the center part of the candle cover 22 (center part of the candle 20). Each wing body 27 is inclined while gradually rotating (twisting) in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction in plan view from the lower outer peripheral side toward the upper inner peripheral side (toward the center side of the candle cover 22). ing.

  This candle cover 22 is arranged by concentrically arranging a plurality of wing bodies 27 inclined in the circumferential direction from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side on the outer periphery of the candle 20, so that the heat of the flame of the candle 20 is increased. The generated upward airflow is swirled around the flame around the flame of the candle 20, and thereby, an upward swirling flow is generated around the flame of the candle 20. In this candle cover 22, the base end portion (lower end portion) of the wing body 27 is arranged in a circumferential direction on a concentric circle centering on the candle 20 (center of the candle base 21), and each wing body 27 is arranged at the base end. Since the slope is gradually inclined from the portion (lower end portion) toward the tip end portion (upper end portion), the gap between adjacent wing bodies 27 is narrow at the base end portion, and there is little air flowing from the base end portion of the wing body 27. Since the flame is swung by the swirling upward flow, the flame is not cooled and the generation of smoke can be suppressed. Also, on the upper side of the flame (the tip side of the wing body 27), the gap between the adjacent wing bodies 27 is widened, but because of the burning of the flame, smoke is generated even if there is some rolling. Can be suppressed. The shape of the wing body 27 is not particularly limited as long as it can generate an upward swirling flow above the candle 20, and a straight line from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side at a predetermined inclination angle. You may make it incline in a shape or a circular arc.

  In the candle holder 19, when the candle 20 is ignited in a state where fragrance is injected into the cup 24, the upward air flow generated by the heat of the flame of the candle 20 becomes an upward swirling flow by the candle cover 22. Then, the upward swirling flow formed around the flame of the candle 20 can cause the flame of the candle 20 to extend upward in a spiral shape, thereby forming a large and bright flame and sufficient air (oxygen). Since it is supplied, the vaporized wax (fuel) can be completely burned to suppress the generation of smoke. Note that new air (oxygen) is supplied from between adjacent blade bodies 27 of the candle cover 22.

  Further, in the candle stand 19, the fragrance injected into the cup 24 penetrates into the candle stand 21, and is vaporized by the heat of the flame of the candle 20, and can be diffused around. Note that by forming irregularities on the surface of the candle table 21, the surface area can be increased and the diffusion of the fragrance can be promoted. Further, similarly to the candle stand 1 of the first embodiment, the support body 7, the windmill 8, and the decorative body 9 may be attached to the upper part of the candle cover 22. It should be noted that the surface of the candle table 21 such as the upper surface of the candle receiving recess 23 of the candle table 21 and the bottom surface of the leg body 25 may be appropriately heat-resistant coated to prevent volatilization and ignition of the fragrance.
