DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is to prevent a candle used for floating on the surface of water or a candle lit in a sea squirt from being shifted or unevenly distributed, or a plurality of candle flames as a whole on a water surface. The present invention relates to a candle positioning tool used for displaying a design such as a figure or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been widely practiced to light a candle by floating it on the surface of the water or in a sea squirt. In the case of floating lamps on the surface of the water, a floating holder has been devised in which a candle is floated on the surface of the water as it is, and a candle holder for vertically supporting a rod-shaped candle in water is provided (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-156112; 63-52220).
In addition, for candles to ignite toy fireworks,
There is also a candle holder comprising a float body having a buoyancy enough to float in water and a candle standing portion formed on the float body to support a candle (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-111119). Also, when many candles are floated on the water surface and lighted in an indoor pool, etc., they float from the position where they were originally placed due to the wind, etc., and are anchored to the candles to prevent uneven distribution around the pool or contact between candles. In order to limit the movable range by connecting the weights, a device has been devised. Furthermore, in the candle lit in the squirt,
The one with a protruding candle at the bottom center of the candlestick,
There is one that has a recess at the center of the bottom of the candlestick to accommodate a candle.

[0003]

In recent years, it has been widely practiced to light a candle having a spherical shape, an oval shape or the like floating on the surface of the water, but the candle moves on the surface of the water due to a wind such as air conditioning or natural wind. However, when the flame of the candle comes into contact with the inner surface of the combustion container on which water is stored and approaches or comes into contact with the inner surface of the combustion container, the inner surface of the combustion container tends to become dirty due to the adhesion of low or soot. Furthermore, cracking and thermal deformation of the combustion vessel sometimes occurred. By the way, 61-1
In both of the inventions of 56112 and 63-52220, when a rod-shaped candle is used by floating on water, it becomes independant and falls down, so the candle holder for vertically supporting the candle underwater. The present invention relates to a floating holder in which a candle stands upright in the water. Therefore, the use of these floating holders is limited to rod-shaped candles, and the size of the candles that can be accommodated in the floating holder is also limited. Therefore, the above-mentioned floating holder cannot be used for candles having the above-mentioned spherical shape, oval shape or the like. Furthermore, the floating holder has a complicated structure and requires complicated labor to produce, and it is difficult to produce it at low cost, and its practicality is low. In addition, the size is bulky as compared with the candle body, which is bothersome to carry and use.

In the candle holder disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 8-111119, the candle supported by the holder is used especially for a child to ignite a toy fireworks. When the tip of the toy fireworks is brought close to the flame portion, the tip of the fireworks tends to get wet with water. Since toy fireworks wet with water become practically unusable, it is necessary to take care that children do not wet the toy fireworks at the time of ignition.
It is desirable that the flame portion of the candle be higher than the surface of the water, because ignition errors are less likely to occur. Therefore, the candle is placed and supported on the candle standing part of the float body. Therefore, the float body needs buoyancy for supporting the candle in addition to the buoyancy that floats on the water itself, and the material, shape, and the like are limited. Further, since the float body is used in a state of being floated while supporting the candle, when the candle is placed and supported on the float body, the float tilts due to the degree of placement, or the droop occurs during the burning process. However, there is a tendency that the float loses its weight balance and the float body tilts, and depending on the degree of tilt, the candle may be immersed in water and the fire may go out. Also, when mooring a large number of floating candles by connecting an anchor weight to a predetermined position on the surface of the indoor pool water, not only a lot of effort was required but also a candle floating by the wind,
In some cases, it was pulled by the connecting string to the weight and tilted, the combustion flame portion approached the water surface, and eventually the fire was extinguished.

In a candle lit in a squirt, in the conventional candlestick, when the candle is set or the candlestick is moved, the position of the candle tends to be shifted from the center and approach the inner surface of the squirt. In some cases, dirt such as the adhesion of low or soot to the inner surface of the squirt, or cracking or thermal deformation of the squirt due to the flame contact with the inner squirt surface may occur. In a conventional candlestick with a projection at the center of the bottom of the candlestick, and a candlestick with a recess at the center of the bottom of the candlestick to accommodate the candle,
The candles that can be used are limited by the shape of the candlestick, and many of the warmer-type candles that have been frequently used in recent years cannot be used. A candle with a smaller diameter than the candle set on the candlestick can be used.However, when the candlestick is moved, the position of the candle deviates from the center and approaches the inner surface of the squirt side. May fall down, which is not an appropriate use form.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to prevent a candle used in a state of being floated on the water surface or a candle lit in a squirt from being offset or unevenly distributed, thereby making a flame contact with a side inner surface of a combustion vessel or squirt. In order to prevent cracking and thermal deformation of the combustion vessel and dirt such as the adhesion of soot and soot to the inner side of the combustion vessel and squirt, flames of multiple candles as a whole on the water surface It is an object of the present invention to provide a candle positioning tool used for displaying a design such as the above.

This is an example. By using such a method, by connecting a plurality of types of candle holders 1 on the water surface in a simple shape such as a straight line, a curved line, and an arc, a desired design of arbitrary characters, figures, and the like can be obtained. The flames of the plurality of candles 5 can be expressed as a whole, and in advance, the flames of the plurality of candles 5 are integrated to position the candle on the water surface so as to express a desired design such as a character or a figure as a whole. It is possible to express desired designs such as characters and figures as a whole with the flames of the plurality of candles 5 simply and easily, and the range of effects is widened, which is preferable. Furthermore, several kinds of the above-mentioned candlesticks 1 on the water surface, which are basic components for connection, are provided with connecting means which can be used easily and arbitrarily connected, so that the desired flame can be obtained by the flame of the candle 5 as a whole. It is also possible to use the above-water candle positioner 1 for displaying designs such as characters and figures.

The material of the in-squirt candle positioning tool 10 is as follows:
Flame-retardant or non-flammable materials are preferred, but candle 5
The flame is not particularly limited as long as it is considered that the flame does not approach or come into contact with the in-squirt candle positioning tool 10. Materials such as flame-retardant synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, thin metal plate, glass, and porcelain are flame-retardant or non-flammable;
It is desirable as a material of the candle positioning tool 10 because of its simplicity at the time of use, easy coloring and the like. Further, synthetic resins are preferable because of their decorative effects such as transparency and inconspicuousness, thin metal plates reflecting the flame, glass being transparent, and porcelain being textured. Furthermore, even if the material itself is not a flame-retardant or non-flammable material, it can be used as a material of the candle positioning tool 10 if it has been subjected to a treatment such as a flame-retardant process. Further, in the candle 5 which is housed in the cup 14 and lit as shown in FIG. 17 (b) and FIG. 19 (b), it is not necessary to consider the flame of the candle 5 being transferred to the in-squirt candle positioning tool 10. Therefore, a synthetic resin such as polypropylene can be used.

The shape and size of the in-squirt candle locator 10 are not particularly limited as long as they are accommodated in the squirt, and may be arbitrarily determined according to the squirt 11 and the candle 5 to be used.
