Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] When solid alcohol of an appropriate thickness is ignited and combusted, the entire surface in contact with the air will begin to burn at the same time, and if the entire surface is exposed to the air, the alcohol will burn from the entire surface. Solid alcohol starts burning all at once, the flame increases rapidly, and burns completely in a short period of time, making it impossible to maintain a constant flame or firepower for an appropriate amount of time. It is well known that there are many cases where it is necessary to maintain a constant firepower for a certain period of time, such as when using a gas stove for boiling.The present invention eliminates such inconveniences and burns solid alcohol. This was done in order to keep the firepower almost constant from start to finish and to sustain it for a given period of time.

Next, the embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. 1 is a circular solid alcohol, 1' is the part (height) exposed to the air, 2
3 is a round bar type stand, 3 is a hollow tube, 4 is a type of spring wire, and 4' has noncombustible heat insulating plates at both ends 5.

Next, to describe the working characteristics of the present invention, the height of the part 1' exposed to the air outside the upper surface of the solid alcohol 1 placed on the round bar-shaped stand 2 that is exposed to the air is determined and adjusted to the above height. Both ends 4' of the spring wire 4 are connected to the hollow tube 3.
The position of the spring wire 4, i.e., the distance between the upper edge of the hollow tube 3 and the spring wire 4, makes it possible to easily move it up and down since it only holds the outer surface of the solid alcohol in the air. When the exposed part 1' is determined, when the solid alcohol 1 is ignited, the upper surface exposed to the air and the high part 1' exposed to the air start to burn, but the other parts are covered by the hollow tube 3. It will not burn because it is sealed.

In this way, when the upper surface of the solid alcohol 1 and the portion 1' exposed to the air burn, it vaporizes and burns, leaving no residue, so as the spring wire 4 burns, the weight of the hollow tube 3 is added, and the spring wire 4 sinks and is exposed to the air. The height of the portion 1' remains approximately constant until the solid alcohol is completely burned out, and therefore the heating power also remains approximately constant.

However, as the combustion of the solid alcohol approaches its end, the height of the portion 1' exposed to the air becomes lower, the firepower gradually decreases, and eventually the fire extinguishes naturally.

As mentioned above, in the past, there was not only no method but also extremely difficult to keep the combustion power of solid alcohol constant from beginning to end and to make it continuous for a given period of time.

In the above explanation, the solid alcohol is circular, but even if it is square, the same purpose as the present invention can be achieved if the hollow tube 3 of the present invention is a square hollow tube. When there is no longer a need for combustion, the fire can be extinguished naturally by covering it with an airtight lid, and it can be reused.

As is clear from the above, the present invention is not only easy to handle, but the heat power during combustion is almost constant from beginning to end, and by adjusting the amount of solid alcohol, it can be continued for any length of time, which is convenient. It is extremely useful because it is economical and also provides fire safety.

[Scope of utility model registration request] Place a circular solid alcohol of any height on a round bar-shaped stand with a slightly larger diameter, with each center aligned, and gently slide it on the circumferential side of the round-rod-shaped stand to move it up and down. Insert the hollow tube as much as possible, pass the spring wire over the diameter of the hollow tube, and use both ends of the spring wire to maintain an appropriate distance between the spring wire and the upper edge surface of the hollow tube. A solid alcohol combustion controller that supports a hollow tube and allows both ends to move up and down.
