Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a candle which is mainly burned outdoors and which is hardly dripped when used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When burning candles outdoors, unlike wind burning indoors, the most important problem is the effect of wind. In the case of burning indoors, it is only necessary to take into account the effect of near-no wind, or the effect of air blown from windows or doorways or air conditioning. On the other hand, in the case of burning outdoors, there is hardly any state close to a breeze, and it is necessary to consider the fact that it is exposed to winds of various strengths and from various directions, from light to strong winds. As a conventional candle that is mainly burned outdoors, a candle having a large amount of combustion and a large combustion flame is used to prevent the combustion flame from being extinguished by wind. For example, a combustion wick having a considerably thicker than that generally used is disposed at the center of a combustion main body containing wax as a main component, a cloth is wound around a central body containing wax as a main component, and the cloth is impregnated with wax. What burns by burning, the thing which wraps paper around the central body which made wax the main ingredient, and burns, etc. are used. In addition, there is a type in which an outer cover made of a flammable thin body such as paper, cloth, plastic or the like is covered on a portion other than the lower end surface of the candle body (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-155350).

[0003]

However, in a conventional candle in which a combustion wick that is considerably thicker than that generally used is arranged in the central portion of a combustion body mainly made of wax, stable under strong wind conditions. A proper combustion state cannot be obtained, and the combustion flame may be extinguished in some cases. In the conventional candle, in which a cloth is wrapped around a central body mainly composed of wax and the cloth is impregnated with the wax and burned, the wind of various strengths from a slight wind to a strong wind and a variety of winds during outdoor burning. Even if it is exposed to the combustion flame is hardly extinguished, but the burning agent melted during combustion hangs down along the side of the candle and solidifies at the bottom of the candle,
Alternatively, there is a problem that the wind scatters around the foot of the candle due to a strong wind and is unsightly, and remains as a residue even after burning. After burning the candle, removing this residue requires a great deal of effort. In addition, the burning agent that melts during combustion and hangs down along the side of the candle and solidifies at the lower part of the candle is not only unsightly, but also the combustion agent to be burned is solidified at the lower part of the candle without being used for combustion. However, there is a problem that the time is greatly reduced. In addition, in the production mode in which a large number of candles are burned at a time, the burning of the candle with the molten burnt agent finishes much faster than the others, and there is no combustion flame only in that part, and the production by the flame The effect will be greatly reduced.

In the candle proposed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 61-155350, the molten wax rises and burns in the outer skin by capillary action. That is, since the outer shell itself becomes the combustion core, the effect of preventing the combustion flame from being extinguished by the wind can be expected even under relatively strong wind conditions as a large combustion flame with a large amount of combustion. However, with respect to the effect of preventing the molten wax from dripping, if the outer cover is made of paper, cloth, etc., the molten wax will ooze out of paper, cloth, etc., and of course, the effect cannot be expected, Even if a film-shaped plastic is used for the outer shell, the outer shell itself becomes a combustion core, so that the film-shaped plastic of the outer shell is easily melted by a combustion flame blown by wind. The effect of preventing drool from dripping cannot be expected.

An object of the present invention is to burn mainly outdoors,
An object of the present invention is to provide a candle in which a combustion flame is hardly extinguished by wind and a combustion agent melted during combustion is hardly dripped.

[0006]

That is, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a combustion agent and a synthetic resin and a plant fiber on at least an outer peripheral surface of a combustion body composed of a combustion core mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustible agent. A second aspect of the present invention relates to a candle in which a thin composite obtained by integrating a thin resin composed of a synthetic resin and a vegetable fiber is attached. The third invention is a candle according to the first invention, wherein the composite is obtained by impregnating a thin body composed of plant fibers with a synthetic resin. A fourth aspect of the present invention is the candle according to the first aspect, wherein the composite is obtained by coating a thin body composed of plant fibers with a synthetic resin. The invention is characterized in that a combustion agent and at least an outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent are mounted and arranged. A composite body in which the synthetic resin thin body and the thin body made of vegetable fiber are superimposed on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body composed of the combustion core portion, and the composite body is brought into close contact with each other so that there is no gap between them. This is a candle.

The term "thin body" used in the present specification includes not only a film-like material but also a sheet-like material.

The candle of the present invention has a large amount of combustion since the combustion core is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent, and the combustion flame is hard to be extinguished by wind even when used outdoors under strong wind conditions. Further, the composite according to the present invention does not penetrate the molten combustion agent, and exhibits improved heat resistance and melting resistance to a completely unexpected extent from the case of a thin body made of a synthetic resin alone. Further, since the composite mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body is in contact with the combustion core portion mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent, the composite is exposed to a combustion flame having a large amount of combustion in the burning process of the candle. Therefore, although it does not easily melt or burn, it gradually burns as the candle burns. Therefore, in the candle of the present invention, the combustion process proceeds in a state where the composite tends to remain slightly more than the combustion main body, and the composite melts at the upper portion of the combustion main body surrounded by the composite. It has an excellent property that it can store the agent. That is, the composite can sufficiently exhibit a function as a weir that prevents the molten combustion agent from dripping, and it is hard to cause the phenomenon that the molten combustion agent droops along the side of the candle by the combustion flame fluttered by the wind. The candle of the present invention is a candle in which the burning agent does not easily drip.

In the candle of the present invention, the composite itself is configured so as not to cause a capillary phenomenon, or the composite is mounted and arranged in a configuration where the capillary phenomenon does not occur. It does not rise in the composite due to capillary action, and the molten combustion agent burns at the upper end of the composite, so that the composite itself becomes a combustion core and burns, and does not function as a weir. It does not cause such a phenomenon. Thus, in the candle of the present invention, the burning agent melted during combustion drips along the side of the candle and solidifies at the lower part of the candle,
Alternatively, it reduces the unsightlyness and the dirt around the candlestick due to the strong wind scattered around the foot of the candle, and eliminates the generation of a large amount of residue after burning, eliminating the need to remove the residue and using the burning agent to be burned for combustion. The sagging without the dripping ensures a sufficient burning time without significantly reducing the burning time. Therefore, in the production mode in which a large number of candles are burned at a time, all the candles can be expected to keep the same burning time, and there is no state in which there is no combustion flame, and there is no conventional one. This makes it possible to produce an outstanding flame effect.
Further, after the completion of the combustion, the labor required for removing the residue of the burning agent from which many candles drip can be greatly reduced. In addition, coloring, decoration, design, characters, etc. can be freely added to the composite, and a material made of a thin material composed of vegetable fibers, which is a constituent material of the composite, according to the use atmosphere. By selecting, the width of the design is expanded,
A very decorative candle can be provided. Furthermore, various decorative effects can be easily and simply obtained according to the usage atmosphere of outdoor events, festivals, religious events, and the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An example of the above-described candle of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an example of the candle of the present invention. The combustion core 1 is a candle mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent 3, and the complex 4 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion core 1. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the candle of the present invention. The candle has a central combustion core 2 inside a combustion agent 3 and a combustion core portion 1 on an outer peripheral surface. It is a candle arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the core 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing still another example of the candle according to the present invention. The combustion wick 1 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent 3 and is narrowed down at the upper portion of the combustion agent 3. The composite body 4 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the part 1 is a candle that also covers the bottom of the candle.

The combustion body 5 used in the present invention comprises a combustion agent 3
And a combustion core 1 mounted at least on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent. Examples of the combustion agent 3 include hydrocarbon compounds such as paraffin wax, higher fatty acids such as stearic acid, and higher fatty acids such as wood wax and beeswax. Known burning agents mainly containing esters of fatty acids and higher alcohols and higher aliphatic alcohols such as stearyl alcohol can be used.

The combustion core 1 mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent 3 is made of paper, cloth, thread, string, or the like made of vegetable fiber. A known material having a capillary phenomenon that easily sucks up the melted combustion agent can be used as the constituent material of the combustion core 1. Among them, calligraphy paper,
Excellent in the capillary phenomenon in which Japanese paper, such as shoji paper and bonsho paper, easily sucks up the molten burning agent, and there is little ash after burning.
The material constituting the combustion core 1 is preferable. Further, the combustion core 1 may be mounted and arranged on the outer peripheral surface of a known candle in which the central combustion core 2 is inserted and arranged inside the combustion agent 3 to form the combustion main body 5 used in the candle of the present invention. In this case, as the central combustion core 2 inserted and arranged inside the combustion agent 3, a known combustion core generally used can be used. Further, as the burning main body 5, for example, a candle, which is obtained by winding a cloth around a conventional central body mainly made of wax, impregnating the cloth with the wax, and burning the cloth.
A well-known candle having a combustion core on the outer periphery of the combustion body may be used. The shape and size of the combustion main body 5 are not particularly limited. However, in order to mount the composite 4 on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body 5 and exhibit the function of storing the molten combustion agent, many irregularities are required. Not simple shapes are preferred.
In addition to the rod-shaped combustion body which has been widely used, a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, a conical shape, an inverted cone shape, a truncated cone shape, an inverted truncated cone shape, and the like are easy to mount on the combustion body 5. This is particularly desirable.

The composite 4 mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body 5 has heat resistance and melting resistance in order to exhibit a function as a weir for preventing the molten combustion agent from dripping. It is necessary to have a property of preventing the infiltration of the molten combustion agent. Although the composite 4 does not easily melt or burn even when exposed to the burning flame of the candle, the burning flame tends to be small if it remains more than the burning body 5 in the burning process. It is necessary to gradually burn with it. Further, since the composite 4 is to be burned, it goes without saying that no harmful substances are generated during the burning process.

As a result of examining the characteristics that the composite 4 should have, it was found that the synthetic resin and the plant fiber that were integrated and made thin had the characteristics. Now, assuming a conventional candle wrapped with a synthetic resin film that has the property of preventing the molten combustion agent from penetrating into the combustion body, it is expected that the molten combustion agent will not ooze out of the synthetic resin film. In practice, however, synthetic resin films are generally inferior in heat resistance and are easily melted or burned by a combustion flame, so that the effect of preventing the melted combustible from dripping can hardly be expected.

However, by integrating the synthetic resin and the plant fiber to form a thin composite, the synthetic resin has a property of being inferior in heat resistance, thereby imparting resistance to the heat resistance and melting resistance. This is a material having excellent characteristics that the molten combustion agent can be reliably stored therein, and this is the basic point of the candle of the present invention.

The synthetic resin and plant fiber may be integrated into a thin composite to form a thin composite composed of a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of vegetable fiber. The composite may be formed by impregnating a thin body composed of fibers with a synthetic resin. Further, a thin body composed of plant fibers may be coated with a synthetic resin. Further, as the composite, a composite in which a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of vegetable fibers are superimposed and brought into close contact with each other without any gap may be used. At that time, if they are in close contact with each other, and in a superposed state in which voids are not formed even partially, it is possible to sufficiently impart resistance to the property that the synthetic resin is inferior in heat resistance, The properties of the composite can be sufficiently exhibited, and the effect of preventing the molten combustion agent from dripping becomes more reliable and more desirable. Further, a thin body formed by mixing a vegetable fiber into a synthetic resin, a thin body formed by mixing a synthetic resin at the time of forming a thin body composed of a plant fiber may be used as a composite. Good. In addition, a combination of the above-described methods is used, such as bonding a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of plant fibers to another synthetic resin to form a composite. You may.

Plant fibers which are constituent materials of the composite include wood fibers of wood such as red pine, black pine, and cedar, which are pulp raw materials, bast fibers such as mitsumata, mulberry, flax, hemp, jute, cotton, kapok, and the like. Seed wool fibers such as linters, leaf vein fibers such as manila hemp, esparto, sisal, vascular fibers such as straw, bamboo, bagasse, and other rushes and palms can be used. Rayon, which is a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from vegetable fibers, can also be used. Further, as the thin body composed of the plant fiber which is a constituent material of the composite, a material such as a paper, a cloth, and a non-woven fabric using the plant fiber as a raw material as described above can be used. Above all, paper composed of plant fibers is preferred as a constituent material of the composite, because of its unique tension, versatility in paper quality, low cost, and easy handling. As paper, the desirable material for use depends on the configuration of the composite,
A case where a composite body is formed by laminating a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of vegetable fibers, and a case where a composite body is formed by coating a synthetic resin thin body composed of vegetable fibers with a synthetic resin. In addition, when the synthetic resin thin body and the thin body made of vegetable fiber are overlapped, and the composite is formed in a close contact state so that there is no gap therebetween, high quality paper is suitable for the processing. In addition, less ash after combustion is desirable as a constituent material of the composite. Also,
In the case of forming a composite by impregnating a synthetic resin into a thin body composed of plant fibers, Japanese paper such as shoji paper and bonsho paper is suitable for the processing, and the ash after burning is small with little ash. It is desirable as a constituent material of the composite.

The synthetic resin, which is another constituent material of the composite, is required to burn gradually with the burning of the candle, and not to generate harmful substances in the burning process. Acrylic resins, saturated polyester resins, polyester resins, polycarbonate resins, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like can be used. In addition, synthetic cellulose resins such as regenerated cellulose and cellulose acetate can also be used. Above all, polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose acetate and the like are less likely to generate soot during combustion, have less odor and are relatively inexpensive, and can be said to be particularly preferable as constituent materials of the composite.

In the case of forming a composite by laminating a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of plant fibers, and laminating a synthetic resin thin body with a thin body composed of vegetable fibers, When the composite is formed in a state of close contact with each other so that there is no gap therebetween, a film or sheet manufactured by a melting method or a solution method among the above synthetic resins can be used arbitrarily. Furthermore, if a composite formed by impregnating or coating a synthetic resin into a thin body composed of plant fibers is used, for example, any of those usable as a synthetic resin for paints that are suitable for the processing purpose can be used. You can also choose.

The material, material, thickness, and the like of the composite material, ie, the synthetic resin and the thin body composed of plant fiber or plant fiber, are determined according to the configuration of the composite body and the unit time of the combustion body 5 per unit time. The material may be appropriately selected according to the use conditions in consideration of the heat resistance, melting resistance, and the like required in various use modes such as the amount of combustion, the place of use, the temperature and weather during use, and the like. In addition, not only a case where a composite is composed of a single material of a synthetic resin and a thin body composed of vegetable fibers or vegetable fibers alone, but also a method of composing a composite with high quality paper and polyethylene or polypropylene, for example. Can also be used.

When a synthetic resin thin body and a thin body composed of plant fibers are laminated or superimposed on each other so as to be in close contact with each other without any gap, a composite body is formed on one or both sides of the latter. Paste, or
The superposition may be in close contact with each other so that there is no gap between them. In order to more reliably prevent the molten combustible from dripping, it is preferable that the former is attached to both surfaces of the latter, or the latter is superimposed and brought into close contact with each other without any gap. In addition, not only the case where a composite is composed of the former and the latter single material, but also a plurality of the former and the latter are stuck together in a layered form, or are superimposed on each other so that there is no gap between them, and the composite may be formed. Good. Known lamination or adhesion means is used for laminating the thin bodies. In addition, as a bonding method, a method such as wet lamination, extrusion lamination, or dry lamination is used depending on the constituent materials and materials of the composite.

Next, when a thin body composed of vegetable fibers is impregnated or coated with a synthetic resin to form a composite, a vinyl acetate resin, an acrylic resin, etc. are converted into an aqueous emulsion liquid, and a synthetic resin such as cellulose acetate is formed. Cellulose-based resins and the like are dissolved in a solvent to be in a fluidized state, impregnated or coated on a thin body composed of plant fibers, and volatilized and dried. In addition, thermoplastic resins such as heat-meltable polyethylene and polypropylene can be coated on the surface of a thin body composed of plant fibers, preferably on one side, preferably on both sides, and then cooled and solidified to form a composite. it can. Further, a desired complex may be prepared by known means other than those described above.

The means for attaching the composite 4 to the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body 5 may be such that the composite 4 is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body 5 formed in advance and fixed using a known adhesive or adhesive means. Alternatively, the composite body 4 may be used to form a skin-like material of the combustion main body 5 using a known adhesive or adhesive means, and the molded combustion main body 5 may be inserted and fixed therein. At this time, the composite body 4 may be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body 5 in a plurality of layers. Further, if necessary, the combustion body 5 and the composite 4 may be attached or fixed by sticking or bonding. At this time, the complex 4 may or may not cover the bottom of the combustion body 5.

As a means of adhesion or adhesion, for example, an adhesive such as rubber, acrylic, silicone, or the like, or a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin, a rubber, a composite thereof, a hot melt, or the like The adhesive may be appropriately selected in consideration of the constituent materials of the composite and the like.

It is desirable that the composite is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 5 as densely as possible. When there is a gap between the combustion main body 5 and the composite 4 at the time of mounting, or when the composite is deformed after mounting or at the time of using a candle, and a gap is generated between the combustion main body 5 and the composite, The composite 4 tends to burn before the combustion body 5, and the function of preventing the molten combustible from dripping cannot be exhibited effectively, which is not preferable.

Further, the thin composite in which the synthetic resin and the vegetable fiber are integrated can be arranged in layers on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body 5 a plurality of times, and as a result, heat resistance and melting resistance can be obtained. It is sufficient that required conditions such as properties and a configuration in which a molten combustion agent does not penetrate are obtained. Here, as the number of times of disposition increases, the function as a weir to prevent the molten combustible from dripping is further strengthened, but in the burning process, the complex 4 tends to remain more than the burning body 5,
Since the combustion flame tends to be small, it is necessary to determine the number of arrangements in consideration of that point.

As shown in FIG. 5, a desired color or pattern can be added to the candle complex 4 of the present invention, and designs, characters, and the like can be added by known means such as writing, printing, and transferring. Furthermore, decorations can be added, and by doing so, it is possible to easily and easily obtain various decoration effects according to the usage atmosphere of outdoor events, festivals, religious events, and the like.

[0028]

Next, the candle of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples and comparative examples. Examples 1 to 4, Comparative Examples 1 and 2; A small amount of synthetic glue was obtained by winding a commercially available Japanese paper for shoji on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical combustion agent having a diameter of 35 mm and a length of 200 mm mainly composed of paraffin wax. A combustion core was fixed by using the above method, and 18 combustion bodies with paraffin wax impregnated in the combustion core were prepared, and the outer surfaces of the three combustion bodies were 0.025 m on both sides of high quality paper.
m, and a composite body in which high-density polyethylene films are overlapped with each other is wound tightly around the combustion body without any gaps between them, and is arranged and adhered and fixed with a polyethylene film tape to obtain a candle of the present invention in a form as shown in FIG. Created. This is referred to as a sample of Example 1. Also, of the remaining fifteen pieces, the outer peripheral faces of three pieces of the combustion main body have 0.1 mm on both sides of the high quality paper.
A composite obtained by bonding a 025 mm biaxially stretched polypropylene film with a synthetic rubber-based adhesive is tightly wound around the combustion body so as to have no gap therebetween, is mounted, and is adhesively fixed with a polypropylene film tape. Of the present invention. This is referred to as a sample of Example 2. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the three burning bodies, a composite obtained by impregnating a commercially available Japanese paper for shoji paper with a solution obtained by dissolving cellulose acetate in acetone and drying is tightly wound around the burning body so that there is no gap therebetween. The candle of the present invention having the same form as that of Example 1 was prepared by disposing and adhering and fixing with a cellulose acetate adhesive. This is referred to as a sample of Example 3.
Further, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the three combustion bodies, a composite obtained by coating a liquid obtained by dissolving cellulose acetate in acetone on both surfaces of a high-quality paper is tightly wound around the combustion body and tightly attached so that there is no gap therebetween. The candle of the present invention having the same form as that of Example 1 was prepared by bonding and fixing with a cellulose acetate adhesive. This is referred to as a sample of Example 4. Nothing was mounted on the outer peripheral surfaces of the three combustion bodies. This is designated as Comparative Example 1 sample. A high-density polyethylene film of 0.025 mm was tightly wound around and mounted on the outer peripheral surfaces of the remaining three combustion bodies so as to have no gap with the combustion bodies, and was adhered and fixed with a polyethylene film tape. This is designated as Comparative Example 2 sample.

The samples of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were used, and these were 35 cm
After arranging them at intervals and igniting the combustion wick and confirming that the combustion flame started to stably burn, swing the blower placed at a distance of about 5 m from the sample and at a wind speed of up to 1 m / sec. Burn for 10 minutes under blast, then burn under the condition that only the wind speed is changed to a maximum of 4 m / s, observe the combustion characteristics of each sample and the dripping state of the combustion agent, and until the combustion of each sample is completed. The burning time and the weight of the burning agent dripped by the end of burning were measured. Further, the ratio of the weight of the burning agent dripped by the end of combustion to the weight of the candle before ignition was taken as the wax dripping rate, and the wax dripping rate of each sample was determined. Further, Examples 1 to 4, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 1 Example 2
The mean and standard deviation were determined for each. The results are as shown in Table 1.

[0030]

[Table 1]

FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the combustion state at this time. 4A shows the combustion state of the example sample at the maximum wind speed of 1 m / sec, FIG. 4B shows the combustion state of the example sample at the maximum wind speed of 4 m / sec, and FIG. (D) shows the combustion state at the maximum wind speed of 4 m / sec for the comparative example sample. Under the breeze conditions with a maximum wind speed of 1 m / sec, the sagging of the combustion agent was relatively unlikely to occur in any of the comparative samples. Further, in all of the example samples, dripping of the burning agent was hardly recognized.

Next, under a strong wind condition of a maximum wind speed of 4 m / sec, as shown in FIG. 4, in each of the samples, the combustion flame was inclined to the leeward side or turned sideways.
In the sample of Comparative Example 1, the excessively melted combustion agent oozed out of the Japanese paper constituting the combustion core due to the combustion flame falling downwind, and a large amount of the combustion agent dripped mainly downwind. Further, in the sample of Comparative Example 2, the polyethylene film wound on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion main body was easily melted by the combustion flame which fell to the leeward side, and a combustion state similar to that of the sample of Comparative Example 1 was obtained. A large amount of burning agent dripped. As shown in Table 1, the wax dripping rates of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 both exceeded 50% on average. In addition, the combustion time to be burned was not used for combustion, and the combustion time was 53 minutes in Comparative Example 1 and 59 minutes in Comparative Example 2 as compared with Examples 1 to 4 on average. It was done. Further, the variation in the burning time of each of the three samples of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 was large.

On the other hand, in the samples of Examples 1 to 4, the composite exhibited a function as a weir to prevent the molten combustible from dripping, and the dripping of the combustible was small. The row dripping rate was 20% on average as shown in Table 1.
It was below. In addition, the burning time was 11 hours on average.
A sufficient combustion time of 0 minutes or more could be secured, and the variation was small.

[0034]

According to the above construction, the candle of the present invention has a large amount of combustion because the combustion core is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent, and the combustion flame is extinguished by wind even when used outdoors under strong wind conditions. Hateful. Further, the composite according to the present invention does not penetrate the molten combustion agent, and exhibits improved heat resistance and melting resistance to a completely unexpected extent from the case of a thin body made of a synthetic resin alone. Further, since the composite mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion body is in contact with the combustion core portion mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the combustion agent, the composite is exposed to a combustion flame having a large amount of combustion in the burning process of the candle. Therefore, although it does not easily melt or burn, it gradually burns as the candle burns. Therefore, in the candle of the present invention, the combustion process proceeds in a state where the composite tends to remain slightly more than the combustion main body, and the composite melts at the upper portion of the combustion main body surrounded by the composite. It has an excellent property that it can store the agent.
That is, the composite can sufficiently exhibit a function as a weir that prevents the molten combustion agent from dripping, and it is hard to cause the phenomenon that the molten combustion agent droops along the side of the candle by the combustion flame fluttered by the wind. The candle of the present invention is a candle in which the burning agent does not easily drip.

In the candle of the present invention, the composite itself has a configuration in which no capillary phenomenon occurs, or the composite is mounted in a configuration in which the capillary phenomenon does not occur. It does not rise in the composite due to capillary action, and the molten combustion agent burns at the upper end of the composite, so that the composite itself becomes a combustion core and burns, and does not function as a weir. It does not cause such a phenomenon. Thus, in the candle of the present invention, the burning agent melted during combustion drips along the side of the candle and solidifies at the lower part of the candle,
Alternatively, it reduces the unsightlyness and the dirt around the candlestick due to the strong wind scattered around the foot of the candle, and eliminates the generation of a large amount of residue after burning, eliminating the need to remove the residue and using the burning agent to be burned for combustion. The sagging without the dripping ensures a sufficient burning time without significantly reducing the burning time. Therefore, in the production mode in which a large number of candles are burned at a time, all the candles can be expected to keep the same burning time, and there is no state in which there is no combustion flame, and there is no conventional one. This makes it possible to produce an outstanding flame effect.
Further, after the completion of the combustion, the labor required for removing the residue of the burning agent from which many candles drip can be greatly reduced. In addition, coloring, decoration, design, characters, etc. can be freely added to the composite, and a material made of a thin material composed of vegetable fibers, which is a constituent material of the composite, according to the use atmosphere. By selecting, the width of the design is expanded,
A very decorative candle can be provided. Furthermore, various decorative effects can be easily and simply obtained according to the usage atmosphere of outdoor events, festivals, religious events, and the like.
