JP6175310B2 - Match and its axis - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to matches and their axes.

Conventionally, when a match is ignited by immersing a liquid fragrance in the match axis, solidifying a fragrance along the match axis, or configuring the match axis from a fragrance tree, Matches that can enjoy various incense have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 3).

On the other hand, an incense stick is known as a long-standing thing for enjoying a fragrance. However, the incense stick has a low strength, and when used as a match axis, it breaks with a pokin and is not useful as a match axis.

Also obtained by making paper by adding vegetable fiber as paper raw material to the scented pulverized product in the range of 20 to 200 μm in thickness and length obtained by pulverizing incense as a combustible solid scent. There has also been proposed a sheet-like incense that is obtained by drying or pressing the resulting papermaking product after drying (Patent Document 4). However, since this sheet-like incense is in the form of a sheet, an attempt to form a match shaft by this will constitute a wooden rod-shaped shaft, regardless of what has a paper shaft called a book match. I can't. In addition, it may be possible to produce a shaft having a circular cross section by winding a sheet-like material, but since it is produced by papermaking, it is of course necessary to provide equipment for papermaking. After manufacturing the product, many steps are required to make it cylindrical, preferably prismatic, and an increase in manufacturing cost is inevitable.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-205763 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-44209 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-103232 Japanese Patent No. 3940394

This invention makes it a subject to provide the match which can enjoy fragrance, and the axis | shaft of a match. At that time, it is an object to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the match is broken when it is rubbed and is not usable as a match axis. More desirably, it is an object to realize a usability close to that of a wooden match.

In particular, even if a wooden match shaft is broken during use, it is not separated into two parts, and a part of them is often connected. This characteristic is that when the match is rubbed, even if the match axis breaks with the ignition agent at the tip lit, a part of the match is connected (hereinafter referred to as the “folding characteristic”). Thus, there is an advantage that the safety of the match is improved by preventing the fired tip from flying away. It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to reproduce the above-described fold connection characteristics even with a match axis other than wooden.

In addition, when used in a windless environment, wooden match shafts have the property of burning for a relatively long time (hereinafter referred to as burn-out characteristics) while burning from the tip to the base end of the shaft. There is an advantage that you can turn to the object. Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to reproduce the above-mentioned burn-out characteristics even with a match axis other than wood.

Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve both the above-mentioned fold-off characteristics and burn-out characteristics, but by combining these, we provide materials that satisfy both characteristics close to the axis of a wooden match with materials other than wood. The task is to do.

The present invention includes a charcoal powder, a wood base material powder for incense made of wood bark powder, a flavor powder and a thickener in a match shaft in which an incense component and a paper fiber for papermaking are blended. The above-mentioned problems are solved by providing a match shaft characterized in that the incense component and the papermaking plant fiber are kneaded and formed into a rod shape. In the axis of the match according to the present invention, the plant fiber for papermaking excluding the bark of wood is contained in an amount of 3% by mass or more and less than 5% by mass in the total solid components.

In the present invention, by containing the incense component, a good scent can be generated when the shaft burns. In addition, when the plant fiber for papermaking is blended in an amount of 4 to 5% by mass based on the total solid components, it can have the above-described folding connection property.

In the axis of the match of the present invention, the plant fiber for papermaking contains 4% by mass or more and less than 5% by mass in the total solid component, and the incense component is 30% by mass or more and 40% by mass in the total solid component. By including less than%, it is possible to exhibit both of the above-mentioned fold-off characteristics and the above-mentioned burn-out characteristics.

In the present invention, the method of kneading is free, but the paper-making plant fiber and the incense component are kneaded by adding the other in a state where one is dissolved in water. At that time, when the papermaking plant fiber is dissolved in a large amount of water as in the case of papermaking, a relatively large amount of the papermaking plant fiber can be dissolved. It can be formed into a sheet shape. However, as in the present invention, when forming into a rod shape by molding after kneading, the plant fiber for papermaking cannot be dissolved with a large amount of water. Therefore, the higher the blending amount of the plant fiber for papermaking, the higher the viscosity at the stage of kneading, making it impossible to mix uniformly. In particular, it is extremely difficult to mix uniformly with a blending amount of 5% by mass or more, and even if it can be mixed uniformly, its production time and cost will be so high that it cannot correspond to the product price. . Therefore, by blending the blending amount of the plant fiber for papermaking in a solid content ratio of 3% by mass or more and less than 5% by mass, it is possible to manufacture by kneading, and the shaft of the match having a good folding property is obtained. Can be provided. In particular, by blending 4% by mass or more, it is possible to give the characteristic of being connected to the axis of the match with a probability of 90% or more.

In addition, by blending 30% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass of the carbon powder in the total solid components, even if there is a hardness that has a moderate difficulty in folding as a match axis, it can exhibit good burn-off characteristics. it can.

Further, as the incense component, in addition to the above charcoal powder, the incense wood base powder is 15% by mass or more and less than 25% by mass in the total solid component, and the perfume powder is 25% by mass or more in the total solid component 35 By containing less than 5% by mass and a thickener of 5% by mass or more and less than 15% by mass in the total solid components, it has an appropriate hardness and has good burn-off characteristics and good folding characteristics. We were able to provide a match axis.

Therefore, by adding an ignition agent to the end of the shaft of this match, it has good burning characteristics that are inferior to those of wooden matches and good folding characteristics, and it has a favorable scent when burning. Was able to provide a match that could be allowed.

As described above, the present invention has been able to provide a match and a match shaft that can enjoy a fragrance without using a wooden shaft.

The perspective view of the match which concerns on embodiment of this invention. The Example of this invention is shown, (A) is explanatory drawing of the test method of Test 1, (B) is explanatory drawing of the test result of Test 1. FIG.

The match according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a match axis 1 and a medicine head 2 applied to the tip of the match.
The shaft 1 of the match is formed by mixing an incense component and a plant fiber for papermaking, and kneading the incense component and a plant fiber for papermaking to form a long and narrow square bar.

The medicine head 2 can be implemented as containing the same ignition agent such as potassium chlorate having the same wooden match axis, and the general match manufacturing machine and the manufacturing process are used as they are. Can be applied.
Match axis 1 is a blend of an incense component and a vegetable fiber for papermaking.

The vegetable fiber used as a raw material of a paper or Japanese paper can be used for the vegetable fiber for paper manufacture. For example, pulp and recycled pulp may be used, and waste paper and recycled paper may be used. Moreover, it may be a plant fiber obtained from koji, mitsumata, husk, kenaf, hemp, bamboo, firewood, cotton, firewood, cedar and other miscellaneous trees. The plant fibers are preferably used as finely pulverized powders, preferably those finely pulverized to 0.5 mm or less, and those having an average length of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm can be suitably used. .

The incense component can be selected and used as a raw material for the incense stick, and may be obtained by pulverizing a ready-made incense stick in powder form. It is preferable that
Charcoal powder: 30% by weight or more and less than 40% by weight Wood incense for incense burning: 15% by weight or more and less than 25% by weight Perfume powder: 25% by weight or more and less than 35% by weight Thickener: 5% by weight or more and less than 15% by weight

The charcoal powder is carbon powder, and imparts the above-mentioned burnability to the axis of the match by its fuel power. Examples of the raw material for the charcoal powder include charcoal such as wood and paper, and coal. If the charcoal powder is less than 30% by mass, there is a fear that the burn-out property is lowered and the fire is extinguished immediately. If it is 40% by mass or more, the combustibility becomes too strong and there is a possibility that it burns out quickly.

As the wood base powder for incense, tub (bark) bark powder frequently used for general incense can be shown as a representative example, but other wood bark powder such as birch bark powder can also be used. This incense wood base powder gives an appropriate burning time and hardness to the axis of the match, and can be blended in an amount of 15% by mass or more and less than 25% by mass. If the blending amount of the woody base material is too low, there is a fear that the action of alleviating the combustibility of the charcoal powder may be insufficient, and if too much blending is performed, the smoke amount may be excessively increased.

As perfume powder, in addition to incense wood powder, herbal medicine powder, sandalwood, clove, sweet pine, cuckoo, agarwood, cinnamon bark, chilled incense, benzoin, frankincense, shellfish, shellfish, dragon brain, Yamana, Karaki incense, Various mandalas can be blended and used. It is also possible to use liquid fragrances such as liquid herbal fragrances and liquid synthetic fragrances in combination. The flavor powder emits various scents when the match shaft burns. If the amount is too small, sufficient scent cannot be emitted, and if it is too much, combustibility may be lowered.

Thickeners are agents that can consolidate other components of the incense stick and give strength to the incense stick, and the type of the thickener is not particularly limited, but a water-soluble polymer binder such as starch should be used. Can do. In addition, water-soluble polymer viscosity agents such as corn starch, tapioca starch, wheat starch, sodium alginate, dextrin, collagen, methyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, carboxymethyl starch can be used alone Alternatively, it can be used in combination with starch. This thickening agent caking other components of the incense stick and imparts strength to the incense stick. If the amount is too small, the strength is lowered and easily breaks, and if it is too much, the flammability and fragrance are adversely affected.

The above-mentioned blending is a desirable blending example, and can be carried out by changing within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention, depending on the type of component to be blended specifically. In particular, the incense wood base powder, perfume powder and thickener have a relatively large degree of freedom. On the other hand, with respect to the vegetable fiber for papermaking, it is 4% by mass or more and less than 5% by mass in the total solid components, and exhibits particularly important folding characteristics as a match axis and productivity at the time of modeling by kneading and molding. It is extremely important from the standpoint of ensuring balance. Moreover, in order to improve the burn-off characteristics, the blending amount of charcoal powder is important, but the burn-out characteristics have a range of 30% by weight or more and less than 40% by weight in relation to the types of other blends. It is not impossible to implement beyond this. Moreover, it is also possible to mix | blend other components, such as a coloring agent, in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.
Next, a method for manufacturing a match shaft according to the present invention will be described.

1st process: The vegetable fiber for paper manufacture and water are mixed. In that case, it is preferable that the plant fiber for papermaking and water shall be about 1: 17-20 by mass ratio. If the water ratio is too low, the viscosity may be extremely high and kneading may be difficult. If the water ratio is too high, molding may be difficult after kneading. Even within this range, although kneading is difficult, it may be dealt with by reducing the amount produced at one time. In addition, it is possible to reduce the viscosity using a relatively large amount of water, but in this case, it is necessary to lengthen the drying time described later.

2nd process: The vegetable fiber for paper manufacture and water of a 1st process are mixed with another incense component with respect to a mixture, and it knead | mixes with a mixer etc. In addition, after adding the incense component to water, the plant fiber for papermaking is added, or the incense component input is divided into several times. If the mixture of the vegetable fiber for paper manufacture, an incense component, and water can be kneaded with a machine or a hand, the 1st, 2nd process can be implemented by changing variously.

3rd process: The kneaded material of the vegetable fiber for paper manufacture, an incense stick component, and water is shape | molded by extrusion molding. Although this extrusion molding can apply what is used at the time of manufacture of an incense stick, it is desirable for the cross-sectional shape of extrusion to be a tetragon like the axis | shaft of a wooden match. In the case of extrusion molding, it is efficient to mold several (for example, 4 to 5) dimensions of the target match shaft as one molding unit. In addition to the extrusion molding, the entire shape of the match shaft may be molded with a split mold or the like, and the specific method of molding can be implemented with various changes.

Fourth step: The molded kneaded product is cut into a predetermined size (5 cm in the case of a standard match shaft) and dried. Moreover, you may make it cut | disconnect after drying. Drying may be natural drying or forced drying.

Fifth step: In accordance with a conventional method, an ignition agent is applied to the tip of the match shaft obtained in the fourth step to complete the match.

Examples are shown below to enhance the understanding of the present invention, but the present invention should not be understood to be limited to these Examples.

(Example 1) With respect to 90 mass parts of water, the plant fiber for paper manufacture and the incense component were mix | blended with the compounding quantity of Table 1, and the match was completed in the above-mentioned 1st-5th process. Pulp is used for vegetable fiber for papermaking, charcoal powder is used for charcoal powder, tab powder is used for wooden base powder for incense, sandalwood powder is used for flavoring powder, and water-soluble polymer binder of starch is used for thickener. .
(Examples 2 and 3) As shown in Table 1, matches were completed in the same manner as in Example except that the blending amount of the plant fiber for papermaking was 4 parts by mass and 3 parts by mass.
(Comparative Examples 1 and 2) As shown in Table 1, a match was completed in the same manner as in Example except that the blending amount of the plant fiber for papermaking was 2 parts by mass and 1 part by mass.

Test 1: About an Example and a comparative example, the test of a bending connection characteristic was done and the result is shown in Table 2. As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the match shaft 1 was picked with the left and right hands 3 and applied with force from the bottom to the top and folded. After folding, the support 4 having a rectangular hole was erected with the base end side facing down (see FIG. 2B). Table 2 shows the ratio of the tip side and the base end side having the medicine head 2 connected in the standing state. The number of samples was 100 in each example and each comparative example.

As a result of Test 1, although the blending ratio of the plant fiber for papermaking was less than 3% in the total solid content, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the fold-up characteristic could not be exhibited at all. In Example 3 where the blending ratio was 3.03%, the characteristics were expressed by being folded to about one third. Furthermore, in Example 2 in which the blending ratio was 4% and Example 1 in which it was 4.95%, the connection characteristics were developed with the probability that it was almost the total number.

Test 2: A test of strength and burn-out characteristics was performed. In each example, 10 samples with heads were prepared and lit in the friction part of the match box according to a conventional method. After igniting the fire, the match axis was kept tilted at about 45 degrees with the head down, and the burn-out characteristics and strength were confirmed. The burn-out characteristic is to confirm whether or not to burn up to approximately half of the match axis, and all samples burned to approximately half. Regarding the strength, it was confirmed whether or not the match axis was broken during the period from the firing operation to the combustion to almost half of the match axis, and all samples were not broken.
