Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a floating candle holder with a wind shield in front of the grave.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a candle stand for the front of the grave, a candle stand is fixedly installed at the center of the upper part of the pedestal with a ventilation groove, and a cylindrical firehouse is detachably attached to it. I was using it.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this method requires a firehouse that is a few centimeters longer than the length of the candle, so it is necessary to design the firehouse, for example, to have a nearly spherical bulge like a lotus flower in front of the grave. It became a bigger firehouse than that, and in the end, we could only commercialize the shape of the slender design that is currently available on the market. In addition, the position of the candle flame sometimes went down as it burned. So, for example, I set up a firehouse in the image of a lotus flower with an appropriate size, and worked on research as a research topic so that the flame position of the candle was always at the center of the firehouse.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. First, a water storage pipe 1 having an inner diameter into which the thickness of a candle can freely enter is provided. The lower end of the water storage pipe 1 is closed, and it is preferable that the water storage pipe 1 has a shape such as a weight-proof shape or a spiral shape that can be easily inserted into the soil. The upper end of the water storage pipe 1 is opened, and a water storage cup 2 spread like a cup is integrally provided. Attach the candle holder 4 along the holding hole 3 provided in the lower center of the water cup 2 to the extent that the candle lightly contacts. Since the candle holder 4 needs to act as a frame that does not flow from this position when the candle burns out, it is preferably nonflammable, and ideally if the diameter can be adjusted according to the thickness of the candle. Further, for simplicity, the holding hole 3 and the candle holder 4 may be integrally formed. Next, a transparent or translucent firehouse 5 is removably attached to the water cup 2, and further an air hole 6 is provided below the firehouse 5 or near the top of the water cup 2, or the water cup 2 and the fire. A groove or the like is provided in the mounting portion of the shop 5 in the form of an air passage. Although the structure is as described above, in the drawing, these are put together in a design that resembles a water pipe 1 with a flower handle, a water cup 2 with calyx, and a fire house 5 with a vent 6 like a lotus flower. ing.

[0005]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, when using the present invention, the water storage pipe 1 is inserted upright in the soil in front of the grave and installed upright, then water is poured from the water storage cup 2 into the water storage pipe 1, and the water level of the water storage cup 2 is changed. Insert so that it is about the upper end of the candle holder 4. Next, when the candle is gently put into the water storage pipe 1 from the candle holder 4, the candle discharges the water in the water storage pipe 1 while floating in the center of the water surface in the water cup 2 with a slightly raised water level. , About 10% of the length of the candle will come out and float. After that, the candle is lit up and the firehouse 5 is attached. If there is wind, tilt the firehouse 5 so that it covers the bottom of the firehouse, lights up, and installs immediately. When lit according to the above procedure, the candle floats on the surface of the water, and the center of the flame of the candle is lit at a point several cm of the surface of the candle, and the candle burns while being supplied with air from the ventilation hole 4 of the firehouse 5 or the like. to continue.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A water storage cup 2 communicating with a holding hole 3 is provided at an upper end opening of a water storage pipe 1 to which a pedestal 7 is slidably attached. A candle holder 4 is attached to the holding hole 3 so that the candle is lightly touched and the candle position is held almost vertically. The height of the head of the candle holder 4 is set slightly lower than the overflow line that fills the water cup 2. The rule of thumb for lowering the candle is to illuminate it by gently floating the candle when it is full, and when it finally burns out, the water level drops by the volume of water corresponding to the buoyancy of the original candle. Set it. This is to securely hold the candle in the candle holder 4 position until the end when the candle is burned out. Therefore, in some cases, an overflow hole may be provided in a part of the water cup 2 and the position of the candle holder 4 may be set slightly below the overflow line. Next, in a firehouse 5 which is detachably attached to the water cup 2, an ignition groove 8 is provided in the vertical direction so that at least the match shaft can easily pass through the upper end of the firehouse 5. When the candle is ignited by a match, the ignition groove 8 allows the flame portion of the match just ignited to quickly go into the firehouse 5 and allows the flame portion of the ignited match to pass through the candle portion. This is to bring it closer to the wick. Therefore, when the fire house 5 is designed in the shape of a lotus, it can be formed as part of the petals' overlapping or cracks, or the fire house 5 itself can be made of soft plastic or the like so that the petals can be turned over. It may be possible to pass the latch shaft. Since the ignition groove 8 also has a ventilation function, the ventilation hole 6 can also be used if it is made a little longer.

[Effect of device]

 The candle holder for the grave according to the present invention has a head that is about 10% of the total length of the candle floating on the surface of the water filled in the water cup 2 at the predetermined water level, so when the lighting starts and when it burns out. Is at most 1 to 2 cm. Therefore, the center position of the candle flame that floats on the water surface and lights up can continue to burn within a range of 1 to 2 cm above the water surface. Therefore, for example, even if the fire house 5 is made in a substantially spherical design around the tip position of the flame at the time of ignition, the change in the lighting position is small and it is possible to make the fire house 5 small. The candle floating on the water surface is held almost vertically by the candle holder 4, and as can be seen from the description of the embodiment, the water level is around the upper end position of the candle holder 4 when the candle is burned out. Even if the candle burns and becomes short, it floats on the surface of the water and swims freely, and the flame causes fire to come into contact with the firehouse 5 and the like. There is no fear of burning. Also, in the case of the embodiment in which the ignition groove 8 is provided, the candle can be lit through the shaft of the fired matching rod while the firehouse 5 is attached, so even if the wind is strong, the wind can be lit in the firehouse 5. It can be shielded and lighted with peace of mind. Next, this candle holder in front of the grave can be easily stood upright simply by inserting the water storage pipe 1 into the soil at an appropriate position, and the stability can be more reliably retained by using the pedestal 7. Also, when the soil in front of the grave is hard and difficult to insert, you can put it on the ground like a normal candlestick without inserting the water storage pipe 1. The pedestal 6 can also be configured integrally with the incense holder, in which case the stability is further increased and it is practically convenient. As described above, the present invention differs from the conventional grave lights in that the position of the candle flame moves only a little from beginning to end, so a ball-like design like a lotus flower can be created with a lot of effort. The image of Hana floating in front of the grave can be expressed by lighting. Or, apart from the lanterns, many pre-grave candle holders of the present invention will be placed in front of the grave to worship and memorialize. The water used to make the candle may be part of the water used when visiting the grave. If you pour it into the water cup 2 with a rough estimate, more water than necessary will be discharged to reach the prescribed water level. , No special work is required. In addition to the above, it is possible to implement it as a dedicated candle stand in front of the Buddhist altar where the pedestal 7 is fixed, not limited to use in front of the grave, and we think that it will be welcomed from the viewpoint of fire prevention.
