Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a decorative candle capable of emitting light from the surface accumulating light during the daytime in the dark when an emergency situation occurs at night and displaying the location site thereof by coating the surface of a candle body comprising solid oils and fats with a luminous pigment. CONSTITUTION: This candle is obtained by thermally softening a solid oil and fat body 1 and coating the softened body 1 with a powdery luminous pigment 3. The candle has the solid oil and fat body 1 and a wick 2 and a luminous substance is arranged on the surface of at least the body 1. Furthermore, the luminous substance preferably comprises the luminous pigment without containing any radioactive substance (e.g. the one consisting essentially of a phosphorescent zinc sulfide and having about 20μm particle size).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative candle and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A candle in which a wick is arranged at the center of a solid fat body has been known for a long time.

[0003]

However, when such a candle has an emergency situation at night and a power failure occurs,
Due to the total darkness, it took a lot of time to confirm the place of existence, which caused inconvenience.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a decorative candle which can be determined at a glance where it is always stocked even when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of nighttime emergency. Another object of the present invention is to provide a decorative candle that can be used for a wedding reception candle service or other night light extinguishing event to enhance the effect of the effect.

[0005]

The above object can be achieved by providing a solid fat body and a wick and disposing a luminous substance on at least the surface of the solid fat body, as in the invention described in claim 1. Preferably, as in the invention described in claim 2, it is preferable that the luminous substance is a luminous pigment containing no radioactive substance. Further, as a manufacturing method thereof, as shown in claim 3, by adopting a step of heating and softening the solid fat body and a step of applying a powdered phosphorescent pigment to the softened solid fat body. Can be achieved.

[0006]

[Advantages] When the above-mentioned means for achieving the above-mentioned object is adopted, the location of the night-light substance can be easily recognized even in the dark by the night-light substance arranged on the solid fat body. Since it does not contain any substance, it is not dangerous and only the surface is applied. Therefore, if the above means is adopted as a manufacturing method, a general candle can be easily used for decoration.

1 is a front view of a decorative candle according to the present invention, which is composed of a solid fat body 1 such as paraffin and a wick 2, and a powdery phosphorescent pigment 3 is applied to the surface of the solid fat body 1. Is. Generally, luminous paint contains a small amount of radioactive substances such as tritium in order to enhance the light emission state, but the phosphorescent pigments here do not contain radioactive substances or harmful heavy metals, and are mainly composed of phosphorescent zinc sulfide. ,
A particle size of about 20 μm is used. In this way, since the solid fat body 1 such as paraffin is white, high brightness can be obtained most effectively.

As a method of manufacturing such a decorative candle, as shown in FIG. 2, a step of heating to soften the solid fat body, and a step of applying a powdered phosphorescent pigment to the softened solid fat body. Should be adopted. By doing so, the surface is softened, so that the oil-based pigment such as paraffin can be easily coated with the phosphorescent pigment.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure in which a luminous substance is placed on the surface of a candle body made of solid oil and fat as described above, so that the surface that is stored in the daytime emits light in the darkness when an emergency occurs at night. Since the place where it exists can be clearly determined, there is no risk of panic. In addition, if such a decorative candle is used for a wedding reception candle service or an event that is turned off at night, the surface that has been stored can emit fluorescence when the lighting of the venue is turned off to enhance the effect.
