Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] The present invention relates to a candle holder, and particularly to a candle holder suitable for use in a lantern placed in front of a grave.

Up until now, candlesticks commonly used for this type of purpose have often had a simple structure, consisting of a support that doubles as a pedestal, with a pin that supports the candle integrally formed upright, and a fire holder that is placed over it as needed. The problem is that the pin gets in the way when removing wax scum and dust that has accumulated on the inner surface of the catch, and that it is inconvenient to put your hand in the narrow window of the candlestick and take it out. ing.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a candle holder that is convenient to handle and easy to clean.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve this purpose, the candle holder of the present invention has a male threaded part formed on a pin that is separate from the catch, a female threaded hole in the base, and a space between the catch and the handle. Both the screws are removably screwed together with the two screws in between, and an elongated hole is formed at the base end of the handle formed from a flexible thin metal plate through which the male screw part is inserted, thereby increasing the installation length of the handle. is configured to be freely adjustable.

The candle holder with the above structure is disassembled and cleaned, and in particular, since the catch and pin are separate, it is possible to wipe away wax scum, etc. that has adhered to the inner surface of the catch and near the base of the pin. In addition, the candle holder of the present invention has a handle that makes it convenient to carry, and the handle is molded from a flexible thin metal plate and a long hole is formed at the base end of the handle. Since the handle is configured to be slidable with respect to the screw tightening part, the height (rise angle) and length of the handle can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the size and shape of the lantern actually used.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In each figure, reference numeral 1 designates a seat having a flange 1b around the upper end of a circular cylindrical portion 1a, and a bowl-shaped spherical portion 1c bulging downward at the center of the bottom portion. An insertion hole 1d through which a male threaded portion 3a of a pin 3 (to be described later) passes is bored in the center of the spherical portion 1c.
Two ventilation holes 1f, 1f are bored at 180 degree symmetrical positions in the flat bottom 1e around the . Reference numeral 2 indicates a pedestal that supports the entire candle holder in an upright position, and has a female threaded hole 2a formed in the center of a flat disc. Reference numeral 3 designates a pin that directly supports the candle, and has a small-diameter male threaded portion 3a at its lower end that pairs with the female threaded hole 2a. Reference numeral 4 indicates a handle used when carrying the candlestick, and a long hole 4a is formed along the length near the base end. Reference numeral 5 indicates a cylindrical firebox made of transparent glass, and protective rings 6 and 7 are removably fitted on both upper and lower edges to prevent the edges from chipping or cracking. Around the lower protective ring 7, there are three protrusions (7a, Figs. 1 and 4) for press-fit engagement to eliminate wobbling of the fire holder 5 when the fire holder 5 is fitted into the catch seat 1. (only one of each is shown) are equally spaced and bulged.

As described above, the candle holder consists of seven parts, and when the male threaded part 3a of the pin 3 is removably screwed into the female threaded hole 2a of the pedestal 2, the male threaded part 3a is inserted into the insertion hole of the seat 1. 1d and the handle 4 through the long hole 4a of the handle 4, so that the catch 1 and handle 4 are sandwiched between the two parts 2 and 3, and can be assembled and disassembled extremely easily. Dirt on each part can be wiped cleanly.
All of the parts, except for the main body of the firebox 5 made of glass, are molded from rust-resistant metal, and in particular, the handle 4 is molded from a thin metal plate that is flexible and can be deformed into a desired shape. There are various sizes and shapes of lanterns, and the distance and height difference between the window through which the candle holder is inserted and removed and the installation position also vary. This candle holder is designed to accommodate a wide variety of lanterns, and the length and height (rise angle) of the handle 4 are adjusted to suit the lanterns actually used, making it easy to put in and take out. are doing. That is, the elongated hole 4a is used to adjust the length, and the entire handle 4 is slid on the pin 3, and when the height is adjusted, the handle 4 is bent into a desired shape. The ventilation holes 1f and 1f formed in the flat bottom part 1e of the catch plate 1 are for ventilating the inside and outside of the fire pit 5 when the fire pit 5 is set up on the catch seat 1. Since it is formed around the portion 1c, it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as when the ventilation holes 1f, 1f are blocked by wax slag.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the candle holder of this invention is
A male thread is formed on the pin that is separate from the catch.
A female threaded hole is formed in the pedestal, and both the screws are removably screwed together by sandwiching the catch and the handle between the pin and the pedestal, and the base end of the handle is formed from a flexible metal thin plate. The installation length of the handle is adjustable by forming a long hole through which the male screw part is inserted, and it can be easily disassembled when necessary, such as when cleaning. It offers various conveniences in handling, such as being able to easily take it in and out of the lantern by adjusting its angle) and length.
