Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a candle which can be easily found in dark and can be used as a toy for children by mixing a molten wax with a luminescent coating material. SOLUTION: This candle is produced by homogeneously mixing a molten wax with 20-30% luminescent coating material under stirring and molding the resultant mixture into a desired shape or by homogeneously mixing a molten wax with 1.5-2.5 times as much luminescent coating material under stirring, molding the resultant mixture into a desired shape, and coating the surface of the resultant molding. Pref. the coating material is a phosphorescent material with a long afterglow.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional candle is formed by melting melted wax into a shape suitable for the intended use, and is used for lighting, shining Buddhist lanterns, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and the like.

[0003]

However, since none of the conventional candles are self-luminous, there is a problem that it takes time to find the candle in an emergency such as a power failure at night. . Moreover, the candle is used as a practical daily necessities, and is not considered to be applied to children for play.

[0004]

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can be easily searched even in a dark place, and can be used as a toy for children. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a candle that can be obtained. First, 20 to 30% of the luminescent paint is mixed in the melted wax, stirred, and evenly mixed, and then molded into a desired shape. Secondly, the light-emitting paint is mixed in the melted wax in an amount of 1.5 to 2.5 times that of the wax, stirred and mixed evenly, and then the surface of the candle formed into a desired shape. It is characterized by being coated on.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Two luminous coatings are placed in a melted wax.
Mix 0 to 30%, stir, mix evenly, and then mold to desired shape. Alternatively, the light-emitting paint is mixed in the melted wax in an amount of 1.5 to 2.5 times that of the wax, stirred and mixed evenly, and then coated on the surface of a candle shaped into a desired shape.

【Example】

[Example 1] 25% of the total amount of a phosphorescent material as a luminescent coating material was mixed in a melted wax, stirred and mixed evenly, and then poured into a mold according to the application to obtain a desired shape. Mold. For example, in the case of being used as a normal candle, it is formed into a rod shape with a wick arranged in the center, and in the case of being used as an interior, it is shaped into an animal or the like. In addition, the wick is not used in the one used as a child's toy so that the fire cannot be lit. In the case of this embodiment, the amount of the phosphorescent material used is preferably 20 to 30% of the total amount, and if it is less than that, the light emission power is weak, and if it is more than that, the burning power of the candle decreases.

[Embodiment 2] Into a melted wax, a luminous material as a luminescent paint was mixed in an amount of twice the amount of the wax, and the mixture was stirred and mixed evenly. To coat.

In the present invention, the phosphorescent material is used for the luminescent paint, but the invention is not limited to this, and a fluorescent material or a phosphorescent material may be used. Although it is possible to use type phosphorescent material, it is not long-lasting when using fluorescent material or phosphorescent material, and safe when using self-luminous phosphorescent material containing radioactive material. There is a problem with sex. The phosphorescent material used in the present invention is Chemitech Picaricco CP05 (trade name) manufactured by Chemitec Co., Ltd., which absorbs energy by being stimulated by light such as sunlight or fluorescent light, and absorbs energy. It has the function of converting light into visible light and continuing to issue it for a long time while gradually releasing it even after stimulation is stopped, and repeating this for a long time.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, 20-30% of the luminescent coating material is mixed in the melted wax, stirred, and evenly mixed, and then molded into a desired shape. Even in an emergency such as when there is a power outage at night, it can be seen very easily because it looks like it is shining due to the sunlight emitted during the day and the light accumulated under the light. Further, the above effect can be further enhanced by using a phosphorescent material for the luminescent paint. Also, in order to use the candle as a toy, you can not see anything even if you paint the candle on your hand or write pictures or letters on clothes or paper, but it will appear shining when going to a dark place, You can enjoy.
Even if the light emission weakens, you can play repeatedly because you can increase the light emission by holding your hand under the sunlight or electric light. Further, in the case where the surface of the candle is coated with the luminescent paint, the amount of the relatively expensive luminescent paint used can be small, so that not only can it be provided at low cost, but the ratio of the luminescent paint can be reduced to 1.5%. ~ 2.
Since the amount can be increased by 5 times, the light emitting power can be increased.
