Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a smoke drawing device that makes it possible to visually enjoy the flow of smoke by circulating smoke to draw irregular patterns.

Conventionally, incense sticks and ornaments using incense are known. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes that an incense stick or incense is used in a translucent container made of glass or the like to form a luminous decorative article that can be visually recognized from the outside.

JP 2006-45124 A

In the above-mentioned prior art, the luminescence of incense sticks or incense is used to make ornaments, but the smoke emitted from incense sticks or incense cannot be visually enjoyed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a smoke drawing device that allows the viewer to visually enjoy the flow of smoke by circulating smoke with a simple structure to draw an irregular pattern.

In order to achieve the above object, a smoke drawing device of the present invention is a smoke drawing device that circulates smoke to draw an irregular pattern, in which a smoke generating member that generates smoke by combustion is mounted and smoke is drawn. a first container disposed on the top of the mounting member and receiving therein the smoke generated by the smoke generating member and rising; and the mounting member. It is arranged in the lower part and has a translucency that causes the smoke to draw an irregular pattern by circulating inside the smoke that is received by the first container and descends through the passage hole of the mounting member. and a second container.

A smoke drawing device of the present invention has a placement member, a first container, and a second container. When the smoke generating member mounted on the mounting member burns to generate smoke, the smoke rises due to heat and is received inside the first container. The smoke whose temperature is lowered inside the first container descends, passes through the passage hole of the mounting member, and flows into the second container. The smoke that has flowed into the second container draws irregular patterns while being confined inside the second container and circulating. Since the second container is translucent, the flow of smoke circulating inside the second container can be visually enjoyed. In addition, with a simple structure in which the mounting member is installed on the second container and the first container is installed on the mounting member, it is possible to realize a smoke drawing structure in which smoke is circulated to draw irregular patterns. .

Further, the smoke drawing device of the present invention has an outside air intake for taking in outside air between the lower end of the first container and the upper end of the second container. As a result, oxygen can be supplied to the smoke generating member to continue combustion and continuously generate smoke.

Further, in the smoke drawing device of the present invention, the first container has a first opening at its lower end, the second container has a second opening at its upper end, and the first opening and the The outside air intake is formed by varying the size or shape of the second opening. Thereby, for example, the outside air intake can be formed with a simple structure without forming a new opening for taking in the outside air in the first container or the second container.

Further, the smoke drawing device of the present invention further includes an illumination device provided at the lower end of the second container for irradiating the inside of the second container with light. As a result, the smoke circulating inside the second container can be illuminated to make the flow of smoke look more beautiful. Therefore, the smoke drawing device can be used as a luminous ornament.

Further, in the smoke drawing device of the present invention, the first container and the second container are glass containers. Since the first container receives high temperature smoke, it is preferable that the first container has heat resistance. In the present invention, heat resistance can be ensured by making the first container made of, for example, heat-resistant glass, and the safety of the device can be enhanced. Further, the second container is not required to have heat resistance because smoke whose temperature has been lowered flows into the second container, but preferably has translucency so that the flow of smoke can be visually recognized from the outside. In the present invention, by making the second container made of glass, high translucency can be ensured, and the flow of smoke can be made to look beautiful.

Further, in the smoke drawing device of the present invention, the placement member is a wire mesh, and the incense that generates the smoke by combustion is placed thereon. The mounting member preferably has high heat resistance because the burning smoke generating member is mounted thereon. On top of that, it is necessary to form passage holes through which smoke passes. In the present invention, by using a metal mesh as the mounting member, high heat resistance can be ensured and smoke can be freely passed through, so that the smoke drawing device can be realized with a simple structure.

According to the present invention, the flow of smoke can be visually enjoyed by circulating the smoke with a simple structure to draw an irregular pattern.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are for explanation and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art can employ embodiments in which each of the following components are replaced with equivalents, and these are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, description of unimportant known technical matters will be omitted or simplified as appropriate.

<Example of structure of smoke drawing device>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the overall structure of the smoke drawing device of this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the smoke drawing device representing an example of an outside air intake. It should be noted that illustration of the mounting member is omitted in FIG.

The smoke drawing device 1 according to the present embodiment is a device that makes it possible to visually enjoy the flow of smoke by circulating the smoke to draw an irregular pattern. As shown in FIG. 1 , the smoke drawing device 1 has a mounting member 3 , an upper container 5 and a lower container 7 .

A smoke generating member 9 that generates smoke by combustion is mounted on the mounting member 3 . In this embodiment, for example, an incense stick is used as the smoke generating member 9 . The smoke generating member 9 is horizontally mounted on the mounting member 3 . It should be noted that the smoke generating member 9 may use something other than incense as long as it can generate smoke by combustion. For example, incense sticks other than incense sticks that generate smoke when burned (spiral type, conical type, etc.), cigarettes, sparklers, and ignited twisted paper may be used.

The mounting member 3 is formed with a large number of passage holes 3a for allowing smoke to pass therethrough. In this embodiment, for example, a wire mesh is used as the mounting member 3 . Note that the mounting member 3 may be made of a material other than a wire mesh as long as it has heat resistance and is formed with passage holes for allowing smoke to pass therethrough. For example, a plate made of ceramic or metal having a plurality of through holes may be used.

An upper container 5 (an example of a first container) is arranged above the mounting member 3 . The upper container 5 is closed at its upper end and has an opening 5 a (an example of a first opening) at its lower end. The smoke that is generated and rises is caught inside. The smoke received by the smoke generating member 9 stays inside the smoke generating member 9 and descends when the temperature drops. In this embodiment, the upper container 5 is, for example, a bottomed square cylindrical container made of heat-resistant glass. As long as the upper container 5 has heat resistance and can receive the smoke generated by the smoke generating member 9 inside, a container other than the heat-resistant glass container in the shape of a rectangular cylinder may be used. For example, the shape of the upper container 5 is not limited to a rectangular cylindrical shape, and may be a sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid, or other shape. Further, the material of the upper container 5 is not limited to heat-resistant glass, and may be, for example, a ceramic or metal container. That is, since the upper container 5 is a container for receiving the high-temperature smoke generated by the smoke generating member 9 and rising to lower the temperature, it does not necessarily have to be transparent.

A lower container 7 (an example of a second container) is arranged below the mounting member 3 . The lower container 7 is closed at its lower end and has an opening 7a (an example of a second opening) at its upper end. By trapping the smoke and circulating it inside, the smoke draws irregular patterns. The size (diameter) of the opening 7a is preferably about the same as the longitudinal dimension of the smoke generating member 9. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, for example, a bottomed cylindrical glass container is used as the lower container 7 . The glass of the lower container 7 may or may not have heat resistance. Note that the lower container 7 may be other than a cylindrical glass container as long as it is translucent and the flow of smoke inside can be visually recognized from the outside. For example, the shape of the lower container 7 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a sphere, a rectangular cylinder, a trapezoid, or the like. Further, the material of the lower container 7 is not limited to glass, and may be, for example, an acrylic container or a transparent plastic container. That is, since the lower container 7 is a container for circulating the smoke that has been lowered in temperature in the upper container 5 and made visible to the outside, the lower container 7 does not necessarily have to have heat resistance as long as it is transparent.

The mounting member 3, the upper container 5, and the lower container 7 may be simply placed on top of each other without being fixed to each other. , each component may be fixed to each other. Alternatively, the upper container 5 and the lower container 7 may be formed as an integrated container, and the placement member 3 may be inserted in the intermediate portion. Furthermore, all of the upper container 5, the lower container 7, and the mounting member 3 may be integrally formed.

The smoke drawing device 1 has an outside air intake port 11 for taking in outside air between the lower end of the upper container 5 and the upper end of the lower container 7 . By taking in outside air from the outside air intake port 11, oxygen can be supplied to the smoke generating member 9 to continue combustion and continuously generate smoke. The outside air intake 11 is formed by making the opening 5a at the lower end of the upper container 5 and the opening 7a at the upper end of the lower container 7 different in size or shape. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening 5a at the lower end of the upper container 5 is a relatively large rectangular opening, and the opening 7a at the upper end of the lower container 7 is a relatively small circular opening. Therefore, a gap as an outside air intake 11 is formed between the opening 5a and the outer periphery of the opening 7a. In addition, in FIG. 2, the gap that becomes the outside air intake 11 is illustrated in gray.

In this embodiment, the outside air intake 11 is formed by making both the sizes and shapes of the openings 5a and 7a different. Alternatively, the external air intake 11 may be formed by making only the shape different, or by making the shape the same and only the size (diameter or side length) different.

<Example of smoke flow>
3 to 5 are explanatory diagrams showing an example of the flow of smoke in the smoke drawing device 1. FIG. In this example, in the smoke generating member 9, the combustion portion 9a that generates smoke moves from one end to the other end as the combustion progresses. 3 shows the case where the progress of combustion of the smoke generating member 9 is at the initial stage, FIG. 4 shows the case where the progress of combustion of the smoke generating member 9 is intermediate, and FIG. It represents the smoke flow near the end.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the smoke generated from the combustion portion 9a of the smoke generating member 9 rises inside the upper container 5 due to the heat of combustion. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the ascending smoke is received by the upper portion of the upper container 5, changes its direction in the lateral direction, and flows. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, for example, the flow is from the left side (the side where the combustion portion 9a is located in the longitudinal direction of the smoke generating member 9) toward the right side. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(c), when the temperature drops while the smoke flows laterally and stays inside the upper container 5, the smoke moves to the right side of the upper container 5 (of the smoke generating member 9). It descends along the wall portion on the side opposite to the side on which the combustion portion 9a is located in the longitudinal direction). Next, as shown in FIG. 3(d), part of the smoke is discharged to the outside from the outside air intake 11, and most of the remaining smoke flows into the lower container 7 through the passage holes 3a of the mounting member 3. do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3(g), the smoke that has flowed upward along the left wall of the lower container 7 stops rising due to its own weight when it reaches a certain height, and turns sideways. change and flow. In the example shown in FIG. 3(g), the liquid flows from the left side to the right side, for example, due to the recoil that hits the left wall portion of the lower container 7 in FIG. 3(f). Next, as shown in FIG. 3(h), the smoke that has flowed in the horizontal direction changes its direction downward due to its own weight and descends.

As described above, the flow of smoke can be visually enjoyed by circulating the smoke inside the lower container 7 and drawing an irregular pattern.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the degree of combustion of the smoke generating member 9 is moderate, the burning portion 9a is located substantially in the center of the smoke generating member 9 in the initial longitudinal dimension. In this example, the combustion section 9a is positioned substantially centrally between the opening 5a of the upper container 5 and the opening 7a of the lower container 7. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, the smoke generated from the combustion portion 9a of the smoke generating member 9 rises inside the upper container 5 due to heat. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the ascending smoke is received by the upper portion of the upper container 5, changes its direction in the horizontal direction, and flows. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, for example, it flows from the center toward the left and right sides.

In the example shown in FIG. 4E, for example, it flows from both left and right sides toward the center. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(f), the smoke that flows along the bottom of the lower container 7 toward the center collides with each other near the center of the lower container 7, turns upward, and rises. . Next, as shown in FIG. 4(g), when the smoke that has flowed upward in the approximate center of the lower container 7 rises to a certain height, it stops rising due to its own weight and turns sideways. flow. In the example shown in FIG. 4(g), the smoke from the left and right in FIG. 4(f) flows toward the left and right sides from the center side due to the recoil that hits near the center. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(h), the smoke that has flowed in the horizontal direction changes its direction downward on both the left and right sides due to its own weight and descends.

As described above, when the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 progresses to some extent, the smoke circulates inside the lower container 7 in a manner different from that shown in FIG. 3 and draws an irregular pattern different from that shown in FIG. The flow of smoke gradually and continuously changes from the mode shown in FIG. 3 to the mode shown in FIG. 4 as the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 progresses. Thereby, it is possible to visually enjoy the flow of smoke that changes as the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 progresses.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the progress of combustion of the smoke generating member 9 is nearing the end, the burning portion 9a is located on the other side (right side in FIG. 5) of the smoke generating member 9 in the initial longitudinal dimension. As shown in FIG. 5(a), the smoke generated from the combustion portion 9a of the smoke generating member 9 rises inside the upper container 5 due to heat. Next, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the ascending smoke is received by the upper portion of the upper container 5, changes its direction in the horizontal direction, and flows. In the example shown in FIG. 5B, for example, the flow is from the right side (the side where the combustion portion 9a is located in the longitudinal direction of the smoke generating member 9) toward the left side. Next, as shown in FIG. 5(c), when the temperature drops while the smoke flows laterally and stays inside the upper container 5, the smoke moves to the left side of the upper container 5 (of the smoke generating member 9). It descends along the wall portion on the side opposite to the side on which the combustion portion 9a is located in the longitudinal direction). Next, as shown in FIG. 5(d), part of the smoke is discharged outside from the outside air intake 11, and most of the remaining smoke flows into the lower container 7 through the passage holes 3a of the mounting member 3. do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5(e), inside the lower container 7, the smoke descending along the left side wall of the lower container 7 collides with the bottom of the lower container 7 and is directed laterally. change and flow. In the example shown in FIG. 5(e), the flow is from the left side to the right side, for example. Next, as shown in FIG. 5(f), the smoke flowing laterally along the bottom of the lower container 7 collides with the right wall of the lower container 7, turns upward and rises. . Next, as shown in FIG. 5(g), the smoke that has flowed upward along the right wall of the lower container 7 stops rising due to its own weight when it reaches a certain height, and turns sideways. change and flow. In the example shown in FIG. 5(g), the liquid flows from the right side to the left side, for example, due to the recoil that hits the right wall portion of the lower container 7 in FIG. 5(f). Next, as shown in FIG. 5(h), the smoke that has flowed in the horizontal direction changes its direction downward due to its own weight and descends.

As described above, when the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 is nearing its end, the smoke circulates inside the lower container 7 in a manner different from that shown in FIG. draw. The flow of smoke gradually and continuously changes from the mode shown in FIG. 4 to the mode shown in FIG. 5 as the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 progresses. Thereby, it is possible to visually enjoy the flow of smoke that changes as the combustion of the smoke generating member 9 progresses.

<Effects of Embodiment>
The smoke drawing device 1 of this embodiment described above has the mounting member 3 , the upper container 5 , and the lower container 7 . When the smoke generating member 9 mounted on the mounting member 3 generates smoke by combustion, the smoke rises due to heat and is received inside the upper container 5 . The smoke whose temperature is lowered inside the upper container 5 descends, passes through the passage holes 3 a of the mounting member 3 , and flows into the lower container 7 . The smoke flowing into the lower container 7 draws irregular patterns while circulating inside the lower container 7. - 特許庁Since the lower container 7 is translucent, the flow of smoke circulating inside the lower container 7 can be visually enjoyed. In addition, with a simple structure in which the mounting member 3 is installed on the lower container 7 and the upper container 5 is installed on the mounting member 3, smoke is circulated to draw an irregular pattern. A smoke structure can be realized.

Moreover, particularly in this embodiment, the smoke drawing device 1 has an outside air intake port 11 for taking in outside air between the lower end of the upper container 5 and the upper end of the lower container 7 . Oxygen is thereby supplied to the smoke generating member 9 to continue combustion, thereby continuously generating smoke.

In this embodiment, the upper container 5 has an opening 5a at its lower end, and the lower container 7 has an opening 7a at its upper end. The external air intake port 11 is formed by making them different. As a result, the outside air intake port can be formed with a simple structure without forming a new opening for taking in the outside air in the upper container 5 or the lower container 7, for example. Also, when incense is used as the smoke generating member 9, the scent of the incense can be emitted from the outside air intake 11 to the outside, and the smoke can be enjoyed together with the scent of the incense.

Further, in the smoke drawing device 1, the upper container 5 preferably has heat resistance because it receives high-temperature smoke. In this embodiment, by making the upper container 5 made of glass, heat resistance can be ensured, and the safety of the apparatus can be enhanced. Further, the lower container 7 is not required to have heat resistance because the smoke whose temperature has been lowered flows into the lower container 7, but preferably has translucency so that the flow of the smoke can be visually recognized. In this embodiment, since the lower container 7 is also made of glass, high translucency can be ensured, and the flow of smoke can be made to look beautiful.

In addition, in the smoke drawing device 1, since burning incense is placed on the placing member 3, it is preferable that the placing member 3 has high heat resistance. On top of that, it is necessary to form passage holes through which smoke passes. In this embodiment, by using a metal mesh as the mounting member 3, it is possible to ensure high heat resistance and allow smoke to pass freely, so that the smoke drawing device 1 can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, by using incense that generates smoke by combustion as the smoke generating member 9, it can be used as an incense holder with a decorative function that allows the enjoyment of looking at the smoke together with the scent of the incense. In this case, unlike conventional incense holders, modern and new incense holders can be realized without being old-fashioned, not heavy, and not giving the impression of a specific religion.

<Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist and technical idea of the present invention. Such modifications will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 6, a space for installing the illumination device 13 may be secured by providing a stand 15 at the bottom of the lower container 7, for example. Alternatively, the installation space for the lighting device 13 may be secured by recessing the bottom of the lower container 7 . According to this modification, the smoke circulating inside the lower container 7 can be illuminated to make the flow of smoke look more beautiful. Therefore, the smoke drawing device 1 can be used as a luminous accessory.

In the above embodiment, the opening 5a of the upper container 5 is larger than the opening 7a of the lower container 7. However, as shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure smaller than 7a. In this case, a gap is formed between the opening 7a of the lower container 7 and the outer circumference of the opening 5a of the upper container 5 as the outside air intake port 11. As shown in FIG. Also in this modified example, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a spacer 17 may be provided between the mounting member 3 and the upper container 5 . In the example shown in FIG. 8, the upper container 5 is, for example, a triangular pyramidal glass container, and three spacers 17 support three sides of a triangular opening 5a at the lower end of the upper container 5, respectively. According to this modification, in addition to or instead of making the opening 5a of the upper container 5 and the opening 7a of the lower container 7 different in size or shape as in the above-described embodiment, the spacer 17 is provided to separate the mounting member 3 from the opening 5a. Since a vertical gap can be formed between the container and the upper container 5, the outside air intake port 11 can be enlarged to make it easier to take in the outside air. In addition, when incense is used as the smoke generating member 9, it becomes possible to release more of the scent of the incense to the outside, and the smoke can be enjoyed together with the scent of the incense. Further, according to this modification, the size and shape of the opening 5a of the upper container 5 and the opening 7a of the lower container 7 can be made exactly the same, so that the appearance of the smoke drawing device 1 can be simplified. and the appearance can be improved.

Further, in the above embodiment, the smoke generating member 9 is horizontally placed on the mounting member 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. You may place so that it may incline. In this case, for example, the smoke generating member 9 may be erected obliquely by inserting it into the passage hole 3a of the mounting member 3, or may be obliquely erected using a separate stand member (not shown).

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 , a stand member 19 may be used to float the smoke generating member 9 substantially parallel to the mounting member 3 . The stand member 19 may be made of a material such as clay or sponge into which the smoke generating member 9 can be freely inserted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, a stand member 19 may be used to place the smoke generating member 9 upright on the placing member 3 substantially vertically. In this case, the stand member 19 may have a structure in which the smoke generating member 9 is inserted into the ash like an incense holder, or may be made of a material such as clay or sponge as described above.

The configurations shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 can also provide the same effects as the above-described embodiment.
