Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] After turning on the lights, prevent the wick from falling until the wax is exhausted. [Structure] A sheet metal 3 having a through hole 4 having a plurality of upward enclosing walls 5 at its periphery is provided with a sandwiching groove 6 which is opened at the outer edge of the sheet metal 3 and narrows toward the inner side, and a metal wire is attached to a wick. Reinforced core 7 that can be wound around and maintain a self-standing and bent posture
Is inserted into the through hole 4 and fixed by the surrounding wall 5, and the candlestick 2 configured by locking the end of the sheet metal 3 bent upward from the backside into the groove 6 is attached to the container 1 having an open top. The wax 9 is put in the container 1 in the container. Even if the wax 9 is liquefied from around the reinforcing core 7 by lighting, the reinforcing core 7 is self-supporting,
It does not extinguish the fire by falling, and lights up until the wax 9 runs out.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a candle placed in a container that can be stably and safely lit for a long time.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there is a candle placed in transparent or translucent glass. However, since this kind of candle is only standing upright in the lumped wick, after igniting the wick, the wax gradually liquefies due to the heat, and finally it loses stability and collapses. The light was gone, even though the wax remained.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved by this invention is to prevent the wick from collapsing after the lights have run out until the wax runs out.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The features of this device are as follows. A sheet metal 3 having a through hole 4 having a plurality of upwardly surrounding walls 5 on its periphery is provided with a sandwiching groove 6 which is open to the outer edge of the sheet metal 3 and narrows inward, and a metal wire is wound around the wick. Then, the reinforcing core 7 capable of maintaining a self-standing and bent posture is inserted into the through hole 4 and fixed by the surrounding wall 5, and the end bent upward from the back surface of the sheet metal 3 is locked in the sandwich groove 6. The sconces 2 thus prepared are placed in a container 1 having an open upper part and fixed with a wax 9.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the reinforcement heart 7 lights up, the wax 9 gradually liquefies around the reinforcement core 7, but since the reinforcement wire 7 is wrapped around the metal wire 8 so as to be self-sustaining, it does not fall down and extinguish, and lights up until the wax 9 is exhausted. To do.

[0006]

【Example】

 Reference numeral 1 denotes a container having an open top, for example, a transparent or translucent cylindrical glass bottle is used, but the material and the shape are arbitrary as long as the bottom is flat. For example, if it is used in a small space such as a lantern firebox, make it low and compact. In addition, it is optional depending on the application, such as a high tubular shape for windproof.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a candlestick, as shown in detail in FIG. 2, in which a through hole 4 for inserting a reinforcing core 7 described later through the sheet metal 3 having a square shape is provided so as to stand upright. There is. Reference numeral 5 denotes a plurality of surrounding walls which stand upright from the peripheral edge of the through hole 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes an acute triangular sandwiching groove, the bottom portion of which is open to the outer edge of the sheet metal 3. The shape of the sandwiching groove 6 is not limited to that of the embodiment. In short, if the groove opened to the outer edge of the sheet metal 3 is formed so as to become gradually narrower toward the inner side, the end portion of the reinforcing core 7 described later can be locked. Good.

Reference numeral 7 is a reinforcing core, which is formed by winding an extremely fine metal wire 8 such as a copper wire in a mesh shape or a spiral shape so as to maintain a self-standing and bent posture and to reduce the deterioration of the burning power of the wick. Has been formed.

The reinforcing core 7 is fixed to the sheet metal 3 as follows. After inserting the reinforcing core 7 into the through hole 4 from above and pressing the surrounding wall 5 to stand and fix it, the lower part protruding to the back side of the sheet metal 3 is bent upward so that the end is directed to the apex of the sandwich groove 6. Insert and fix.

Here, the through hole 4 and the surrounding wall 5 can be easily formed by driving a four-sided pyramid into the center of a metal plate such as a thin tin plate. Also, the sandwiching groove 6 can be easily formed with scissors.

The shape of the sheet metal 3, the through hole 4, the shape of the surrounding wall 5, and the number are arbitrary, but the sheet metal 3 has its center higher than the peripheral edge, and its stability is impaired by the reinforcing core 7 passing through the back surface. You need to be careful. Therefore, as in the illustrated embodiment, the sheet metal 3 may be formed gradually higher toward the center. Alternatively, the edges may be bent to form the legs, or the legs may be attached separately. In the figure, 9 is a wax.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 Since the reinforcing core is fixed to the sheet metal so that it can stand on its own, even if the wax liquefies when it is lit, it will not fall down and can be lit for a long time until the wax runs out. In addition, since the light is surrounded by the container, it is stable and safe even in the presence of wind.
