Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incense burner having an incense holder that holds a stick-shaped incense.

[0002]

[Prior art]

1. Incense holders that hold rod-shaped incense are often used as open-type incense burners, but most of them have a simple vertical hole (FIG. 3) to hold the incense almost vertically. 2. Further, if it is held vertically, the ash tends to scatter and it is necessary to enlarge the ash receiver. Therefore, in order to minimize the ash receiver, a method of holding the incense substantially horizontally is also known as follows. (B) As a method of burning a stick-like incense almost horizontally, conventionally, a method of laying ash in an incense burner without using a holder and laying and holding the stick-like incense on the ash was generally used. . (B) It is not an incense burner, but as a holding tool for holding the incense almost horizontally, it holds an incense like the one shown in FIG. It means that the object is sandwiched by the.) Shaped holders are known. (C) In addition, there was a form in which the scent was made into a circular shape with good balance, and the string near the center was hooked. (Fig. 5)

The shape as shown in FIG. 4 is convenient for holding and holding a stick-shaped incense, regardless of the thickness of the incense, and was optimal for a thick incense stick like a mosquito coil stick.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, 1. In an incense burner that has an incense holder that simply holds a hole in the vertical direction, (a) the unburned residue of stick-shaped incense is likely to be clogged in the holder, and discharge is inconvenient. (B) Irrespective of the thickness of the incense, it is only supported loosely so as to hold it (Fig. 10) and is unstable. For this reason, there were problems such as being vulnerable to unexpected shocks such as earthquakes, leading to unexpected accidents. 2. On the other hand, even in the incense holder which is held in the horizontal direction, (a) the holder for mosquito coiling incense does not necessarily hold a general stick-shaped incense. However, the thickness of a typical incense is in the range of 2 mm to 3 mm. Therefore, in the case of the shape as shown in FIG. 4, the stick-like incense was easily broken when trying to hold it in the isthmus, which caused inconvenience. (B) Also, even if you successfully put the canyon, the incense burnt out at the canyon sandwich,
The unburned incense left unbalanced, remained unstable, and was easy to fall off. (C) Although the method of hanging with a string or the like is relatively safe, it is limited to spiral incense and is not suitable for stick incense.

As described above, any of the incense holders for holding a stick-shaped incense has a weak holding force because it is merely a structure for supporting an incense, and it is easy to slip by a simple impact, which is a safety problem.

As described above, in the incense holder for holding the stick-shaped incense, when the stick-shaped incense is attached to the incense holder, the incense is simply and easily held without breaking the incense, regardless of the horizontal and vertical directions. In addition, if possible, there is a demand for an incense holder that can easily retain the unburned residue and at the same time remove the unburned residue. This is the subject of the present invention.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] An elastic body (a) for an incense holder.
By using the elastic force, a stick-shaped incense can be elastically sandwiched and held by the incense holding portion (c), and the holding force is increased. Further, the incense holder (c) serving as a holding contact portion is formed in a tubular shape so that the incense can be fixed and held in almost one direction simply by inserting a stick-shaped incense.

[0008]

[Action]

(A) When a rod-shaped incense is inserted, the elastic body (a) elastically clamps and holds the incense holding portion (c). (B) As a result, the stick-shaped incense is strongly retained regardless of whether it is horizontal or straight. (C) The fire is extinguished just before the incense holder, and is held in a stable manner. (D) If the discharge opening portion (d) is provided, the unburned residue of the incense is pushed out by inserting a new rod-shaped incense next,
It is very easy to discharge the unburned residue of incense. (FIG. 6) (e) Further, when the heat insulating material (e) such as ceramic is used for the incense holding portion, the insulative residue can be reduced due to the heat insulating action.

[0009]

【Example】

Example 1 An ash receiver and an incense are prepared. As the incense holder, a leaf spring made of iron was used and configured as shown in FIG. The diameter of the insertion part was set to about 2 mm so that a stick-shaped incense having a diameter of 2 mm or more could be handled. A 2.3 mm diameter rod-shaped incense was ignited and inserted into the incense holder. Thus, an incense burner using an incense holder that solves the above problems was created. Since the stick-shaped incense is elastically sandwiched even with some impact, it is stably held without coming off. The fire was extinguished in front of the incense holder and it was confirmed that the purpose had been achieved.

Next, a new stick-shaped incense was inserted. As a result, the unburned residue of the stick-shaped incense was pushed out and easily discharged from the discharge opening. (Style of Figure 6)

Needless to say, it is easier to insert the rod-shaped incense portion when the insertion guide portion (b) is provided as shown in FIG.

Example 2 An incense holder (FIG. 7) having a structure in which the incense holder uses a spring in the through hole is prepared. Since it is a through hole, the unburned residue of incense can be easily removed. If the incense is held in the through hole, the incense end may protrude from the through hole. The incense holder may form a holding contact portion in the cylindrical direction and may be a through hole at the same time. A contact holding portion (FIG. 8) having a plurality of cylindrical shapes such that rod-shaped incense is substantially fixed in the same direction may be used. In short, the present invention can be achieved by simply attaching an incense and fixing it in one direction.

Example 3 A stick-shaped incense extinguishes just before it is in contact with an incense holder such as a leaf spring. It is presumed that this is related to the heat conduction of metals. Therefore, an insulating material was used for the incense holder to reduce the unburned residue of incense. After the scent holder was coated with gypsum and sufficiently dried, an experiment was tried. After all, the sticky incense burned a little because of lack of oxygen supply. However, it was clearly found that the contact area requires less unburned residue than metal.

The material of the incense holder of the incense burner of the present invention is preferably an inorganic material such as metal or ceramics, but a heat-resistant resin product is not particularly limited as long as the incense holder can be used. The material is not limited as long as it is an elastic body as long as it has an effective elastic force. A leaf spring, which can also be configured as an elastic body that also serves as a holding portion and has an effective elastic force, is easy to make and convenient. The shape of the tubular scent holding portion is not particularly limited as long as the scent can be held even if the scent holding portion does not have a circular cross section. It suffices if the holding contact portion has a cylindrical shape.

Here, the definition of holding horizontally and vertically will be described. The meaning of "hold almost horizontally" is that the shape is usually held almost vertically, so it is not uniquely determined where the ash of the incense falls, and there is a height, so the ash easily scatters (Fig. 3). If this is held almost horizontally, the position where the ash falls will be determined almost uniquely, and the ash will fall from a position where the height is low, so the ash will fall cleanly. It means almost horizontal as a holding method for avoiding the harmful effect of the incense holder which is usually held almost vertically. That is, it means that the horizontal direction in which the scent is held when the scent is held is determined, and the position where the ash falls is uniquely determined.
That is, there may be some inclination (FIG. 9), and the holding direction is determined to be held horizontally rather than to be held vertically. ("Uniquely determined" means that it is inevitably limited and determined.)

For the incense burner, the incense holder may be previously integrated with the ash receiver. The shape may be such that they are connected and fixed to each other. In some cases, the incense burner may have an incense holder that is stable only by placing it on an ash receiver. With respect to the holding direction, a flexible type in which the holding direction of the stick-shaped incense can be changed, and an application of preparing a plurality of holders capable of holding in various directions can be considered.

Embodiment 4 It is more convenient for the incense burner to provide an incense holder so that an incense having a shape other than a stick can be used in the ash receiver.

Embodiment 5 Further, for the sake of safety, a incense burner in which importance is placed on safety is also possible in which the incense burner main body is formed in a hollow shape and a rod-shaped incense is held inside the hollow. (Figure 12)

[0019]

The following effects can be obtained. (B) It can be attached to the incense holder simply by inserting it without breaking the stick-shaped incense. (B) Stick-shaped incense is reliably retained, and the unburned residue of incense is also stably retained, which is safe. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a fire due to the incense sticking out due to an unexpected impact such as an earthquake. (C) It can be held regardless of the thickness of the stick-shaped incense. (D) According to the second aspect, it is easy and convenient to easily treat the unburned residue of the scent. (E) A stick-shaped incense can be held at any position. With this, the length of the quantity to be burned can be arbitrarily selected. (For burning, the incense extinguishes the fire before the holding part.) (F) In claim 2, since the incense holding direction is uniquely apparent when attaching the incense, it may be held almost horizontally. Yes, if you prepare an ash tray according to this, you can use a small ash tray. The slender ash tray takes up no space for storage and is modern and stylish. (G) Since the incense burner using this holder can be held horizontally or vertically, the degree of freedom in shape is widened and the variation in design is widened. (H) In Claim 3, the unburned residue can be reduced. (I) In Claim 4, the direct burning part of the incense does not come into contact with the outside, which is extremely safe.
