Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a candle which is hardly extinguished during burning even by a strong wind, does not suffer dripping of wax, and hardly breaks during carrying by providing around a wax an impregnable fibrous material as a wick for burning, and forming an ignition part on one end of this wick. CONSTITUTION:A candle is made by providing around a wax 2 an impregnable fibrous material 1, for example, Japanese paper, as a wick for burning, and forming an ignition part 11 on one end of the wick. When the end of this candle is ignited, the fibrous material on the periphery will burn first, the heat will melt the wax inside the tubular fibrous material, and the fibrous material 1 will suck the molten wax so that the combustion will be enhanced. Accordingly, once ignited, the candle will not be blown out even by a strong wind and is therefore very convenient for both indoor and outdoor uses. In addition, since the liquefied wax is checked by the outside cylindrical fibrous material, this candle can prevent the molten wax from spilling out through the fibrous material and dripping along the wick.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to candles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general candle is composed of a core material in the center and an oil layer such as paraffin provided around it. The core material protruding from the upper end of the oil layer is ignited, and the heat melts the oil.
The core material is sucked up by the capillarity, vaporized and burned.

[0003]

However, the conventional candle has a drawback in that even if the candle is lit outdoors such as when visiting a grave, it will be extinguished immediately if a strong wind blows. In addition, when a candle was lit on a Buddhist altar, the candles that were lit from the previously lit candle and the unburned candles were piled up high, and the candles could not be placed in the candle holder.

Paraffin, which is the main raw material for candles, is often soft and easily broken, and if it is inadvertently broken, it will not be possible to stand in a candle stand, or if it stands up, it will become unstable. There was also something to do. However, this was a problem that was difficult to solve with the conventional candle structure in which the core is put in the wax.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a candle that does not easily disappear in a strong wind during burning, does not drip, and is hard to break when carried. ..

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, in the candle of the present invention, a fiber material having an impregnating property is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the wax, and the fiber material is used as a combustion core, and one end thereof is used. Measures were taken to form an ignition part in the part.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned candle, when the ignition portion of the combustion core is ignited, the outer fiber material burns first, the heat melts the inner wax of the candle, and the impregnating fiber material absorbs it and quickly vaporizes it. So the flame becomes even bigger. Also,
The liquefied wax is blocked by the outer tubular fiber material and vaporized in a short time by the flame, so that the melted wax does not spill out of the fiber material.

Further, the fragile wax is wrapped with a sheet-like fiber material and is protected and kept in shape so that it is difficult to fold.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a candle of the present invention, FIG. 2 is its developed view, and FIG. 3 is its sectional view.

In FIG. 1, a candle according to the present invention comprises a Japanese paper 1 wound into a cylinder and a cylindrical wax 2 positioned inside the Japanese paper 1. A notched ignition part 11 is formed at the upper end of the candle. A portion of the Japanese paper 12 between the ignition part 11 and the wax 2 is soaked with wax so as to promote vaporization of the wax in the portion of the wax 2 at the time of ignition. Wax is contained inside the middle portion 12 of the washi paper to the lower end portion 3 of the candle. The lower end 3 of the candle is provided with a hole for standing the candle, as can be seen in the sectional view of FIG.

The shape of the outer washi wrapping the wax 2 is as shown in the developed view of FIG. 2. The length A of the left end of the washi is substantially equal to the length C of the cylindrical wax 2, and the length B of the ignition part is B. Is, for example, 2 to 3 cm. Also,
The lateral length D of the Japanese paper is the length that is wound around the outer peripheral portion of the wax 2 about twice, and the length E is the length that is wound around the outer periphery about once more. Also, letters and illustrations can be applied to the outer circumference of the Japanese paper.

According to the above construction, since the ignition portion 11 is notched so that even a small fire can be ignited reliably, that portion is easily burned up when ignited. Then, the fire moves to the Japanese paper portion 12. Since this part is impregnated with wax, it burns particularly well. Then, since wax is contained inside the washi portion 12 and below, the wax is melted by the surrounding flame and quickly vaporizes while soaking into the washi, and further burns.

As described above, in the candle of the present invention, the wax melts and soaks into the surrounding Japanese paper, and good combustion is maintained, so that it does not disappear even at wind speeds of about 5 meters. At that time, the melted wax is immediately vaporized and burned by the surrounding flame, so that the liquefied wax does not hang down on the outer peripheral surface of the washi paper.

The candle of the present invention has a smaller volume than a conventional candle if the flame has the same size,
It is convenient to carry.

Moreover, since the wax is wrapped in Japanese paper, it is difficult to break, and the effect is particularly high when thick Japanese paper is used.

Further, if Japanese paper is impregnated with a fragrance, the aroma can be released during combustion.

The material for wrapping the wax is not limited to Japanese paper, and any material having impregnability and flammability such as cotton cloth may be used.

[0018]

As described above, according to the candle of the present invention, when one end of the candle is ignited, the fiber material in the outer peripheral portion is burned up first, and the heat melts the wax in the cylinder to form the fiber material having the impregnating property. It sucks it up and burns it better.
Therefore, once it is lit, it will not disappear even if the wind becomes strong, which makes it convenient not only for indoor use but also for outdoor use.

Further, since the liquefied wax is blocked by the outer tubular fiber material, the melted wax will not spill outside the fiber material along the spilled core. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the candle is not stood because the residue is deposited on the candle stand. Also, since the wax is wrapped with a sheet-shaped fiber material to protect and retain its shape, it is difficult to break.
It is convenient to carry and save.
