Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a decorative candlelight generating device that generates a candle-like flame used at dining tables and banquets.

(Conventional technology) Traditionally, candles have been placed on the dining table, and the light from the flames has been used to create a moody atmosphere during meals, or to create a solemn mood at wedding receptions and other celebrations. Candle services are sometimes held to express gratitude. At this time, generally a candle is lit to enjoy the light from the flame, and a lamp powered by alcohol or the like is used. Although the light provided by these candles and lamps is extremely desirable because it creates a moody and unique atmosphere when illuminating the surrounding area, it has the following drawbacks.

That is, with candles, the wax drips as the candle is used, making it very unsightly and contaminating the surrounding area.Furthermore, the dripping wax impedes the combustion of the flame, making combustion unstable. Furthermore, if a candle is modeled after a unique concrete object, people may hesitate to use it if they are attached to it. On the other hand, lamps are not suitable for situations where the flame is strong and the atmosphere is moody, the wick that supplies the fuel is visible from the outside, making them unsightly, and the need for refueling is cumbersome to handle.

In order to improve these points, Jitsugoku University 13
−1584 Publication, Utility Model Publication No. 13-8983, Utility Model Number 25
A candle-shaped candle-shaped lamp body, which has a candle-shaped outer shape and is removably attached to a lamp body having a wick containing liquid fuel, as disclosed in Publication No. 6670 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-91802, etc. Lighting equipment is suggested. A cap is closed to prevent the liquid fuel contained in the lamp body from leaking to the outside.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in conventional cap-closing type lights of this type, it is necessary to remove the cap in order to ignite the wick, making it more difficult to handle than conventional candles that can be ignited as is. It was hot. Also,
The installation of this cap and the structure of the lid require special consideration because if the lamp wick itself is flexible, it will easily come off, and even if the entire upper part of the lamp body is covered, depending on the storage conditions, etc. In the past, liquid fuel could leak from the wick and fill the inside of the cap, so when the cap was removed and used, it would scatter around and contaminate the surrounding area.

Therefore, this idea was devised in consideration of the existing circumstances as described above, and it can easily create a unique mood atmosphere around the surrounding area with the flickering flame of a candle. , does not allow the liquid fuel stored inside to leak to the outside, makes it easy to ignite and use, and is easy to handle.Furthermore, by adopting a unique shape, it also creates a unique mood. An object of the present invention is to provide a decorative candle light generating device that can be obtained.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention includes a base body having an appropriate external shape, a tank cylinder containing liquid fuel, and a base body fixed to the upper end opening of the tank cylinder. a cartridge body formed by hanging a combustion core material supported by a holder, and detachably provided on the upper part of the base body; a combustible or thermofusible cap means coated on the upper end of the combustion core material of the cartridge body; It is characterized by having the following.

(Function) In the decorative candlelight generating device according to this invention, a cartridge body containing liquid fuel is prepared, and after setting it on the base body, the base body is placed on a dining table.
Place the cartridge appropriately on a table or other place in a banquet hall, ignite the cartridge, and use it.

When used for ignition, the flammable or heat-fusible shap means coated on the upper end of the combustion core material is directly ignited or heated to burn, melt,
As a result, the combustion material impregnated and supplied into the combustion core material via the cap means is combusted.

In addition, the cap means of the cartridge body before ignition and use prevents the fuel impregnated into the combustion core material and supplied from leaking to the outside, thereby preventing contamination of the surrounding area.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a base body having the external shape of a rod-shaped candle, and is designed to be able to stand on its own or to be set on a suitable candlestick. The base 1 itself can be formed not only in the shape of a rod-like candle as shown in the figure, but also in the shape of a lamp, a suitable animal, plant, etc.
It may be modeled after a building or other concrete object, and its shape and material are not particularly limited, and the interior may be either hollow or dense. Furthermore, although the height is generally, for example, 30 to 38 cm in the case of a bar-shaped candle, it is of course not limited to this.

A cartridge body 3 that generates a flame with the liquid fuel stored therein is removably provided on the upper part of the base body 1.Therefore, the upper part of the base body 1 has a recess shape for mounting the cartridge body 3. A mounting recess 2 is formed from the upper end surface of the base body 1.

As shown in the figure, this cartridge body 3 includes a tank cylinder 4 that accommodates liquid fuel that is a combustion material;
A holder 5 fixed to the upper end opening of this tank cylinder 4, and a tank cylinder 4 supported by this holder 5.
It consists of a combustion core material 6 hanging inside.

For example, the fuel is planned to be liquid wax, and it is desirable that the fuel does not produce a very strong flame when burned, but rather produces a flickering flame like that of a candle. Of course, there is no problem even if it is an alcohol fuel as in the conventional case; in short, it is sufficient as long as it is accommodated in the tank cylinder 4, impregnated into the combustion core material 6, and supplied to the upper end thereof.

The cartridge body 3 itself has a mounting recess 2 in the base body 1.
It is designed to be locked at the open end of the mounting recess 2 while being housed in the mounting recess 2. Specifically, it is set by being forcibly inserted or screwed.

Although the cartridge body 3 itself is to be disposed of as is after the liquid fuel contained therein is consumed, it is possible to remove the holder 5, supply fuel into the tank cylinder 4, and reuse it. Good too.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end of the combustion core material 6 of the cartridge body 3 is covered with a flammable or thermofusible cap means 7 by solidifying it with, for example, flammable adhesive or wax. be.

Next, to explain an example of its use, a cartridge body 3 containing a predetermined liquid fuel in a tank cylinder 4 is prepared, and the cartridge body 3 is placed inside the mounting recess 2 of the base body 1 which has been formed into a predetermined shape. Set to . The base body 1 on which the cartridge body 3 is set is placed on a dining table, a table in a banquet hall, or other suitable place, and the cap means 7 of the cartridge body 3 is ignited and burned or heated and melted to ignite the combustion core material 6 and used. do.

Then, in the wick 6, the fuel supplied from inside the tank cylinder 4 burns, giving the impression of a candle flame.

After the fuel is consumed, the cartridge body 3 can be replaced or the fuel can be refilled.

(Effects of the invention) This invention is constructed as described above, and therefore, even though it produces a candle-like flame, the wax does not drip and can be used in an attractive manner. Since the liquid fuel is stored in the cartridge body 1, the base body 1 itself does not deform and can be used for many years.Furthermore, after the fuel is consumed, it can be reused by replacing the cartridge body 3 itself, which is easy to replace. Therefore, it is easy to handle.

In particular, since the upper end of the combustion core material 6 of the cartridge body 3 is covered with the cap means 7, the fuel contained in the tank cylinder 4 is completely prevented from leaking from the upper end of the combustion core material 6, and the surrounding area is prevented from becoming contaminated. do not have. Moreover, since the cap means 7 is flammable or thermofusible, it can be burned or melted by ignition or heating without being removed.
The fuel impregnated and supplied into the combustion core material 6 can be combusted as it is.

That is, this is because this invention consists of a base body 1, a cartridge body 3, and a cap means 7, and the cap means 7 is made of a combustible or thermofusible material coated on the upper end of the combustion core material 6 of the cartridge body 3. Moreover, since the cartridge body 3 itself can be constructed at low cost, it can also be disposable.

As explained above, according to this invention, the flickering flame of the candle creates a unique mood atmosphere in the surrounding area, and in particular, it prevents the liquid fuel stored inside from leaking outside and prevents its ignition. It has excellent practical effects such as being simple, easy to handle, and easy to handle.
