Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a free-standing large-diameter candle with a washer that is used while standing in a saucer.

When a large candle with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm (about 1,771) is placed in a saucer and burnt, when the candle burns to the end, the wax that remains at the bottom is separated by the flame and accumulates in the saucer. There was a problem in that the wax that had accumulated in the saucer could not be burned to the end because the burnt and shortened candle wick would sink into the taro and the flame would go out.

Therefore, large-diameter candles such as those mentioned above are equipped with a washer to hold the lower end of the candle wick in order to prevent the shortened candle wick from sinking into the melting wax. This conventional large-diameter candle with washer is shown in Figure 1.
Since it is as shown in FIG. 2, it has the following drawbacks.

That is, the washer A has raised claws al, a2, and two large and small threading holes a3. A4, and a thread stopper A5 cut in the direction from the larger threading hole A3 to the smaller threading hole A4.
r Since one end of B is attached by passing it through the threading hole a3ta4 and inserting it into the thread stopper a5, it is not only troublesome to attach the candle wick B and washer A, but also the candle body C cannot be attached later. Manufactured as a candle with a hole into which candle wick B is inserted, candle wick B with washer A attached to this center through hole C1 is inserted from below and protrudes upward, and washer A
If the washer A is not made in a special way by biting the cutting claws al and a2 into the lower end surface of the candle body C,
However, it is difficult to manufacture large-diameter candles with washers, which increases costs.

Moreover, when washer A is installed as described above, the washer A
Since a portion of the candle wick B is exposed on the lower surface of the candle holder, the exposed wick B' hits the bottom surface of the saucer, resulting in an unstable candle stand, and there is also the problem that the candle may fall over due to swinging or the like.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method, and involves manufacturing a large-diameter candle with a candle wick embedded in the center using a conventional method, and hardening of the filter 5 that occurs during manufacturing. The washer has a specially devised structure that utilizes the center hole of the lower end opening where the candle wick is exposed in the center formed by the contraction hole, that is, the seat plate that is placed under the lower end surface of the candle body, and the seat plate that is placed in the center hole. A free-standing large-diameter candle with a washer that can be easily and securely installed, with a washer of a thin plate bent configuration consisting of a V-shaped spread leg tongue piece having a wick-holding protrusion that is inserted so as to sandwich the exposed candle wick. The main points are as follows.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings in Figs.
The main body 1 is a free-standing candle body with a large diameter of about m, and the main body 1 is manufactured by a conventional manufacturing method (a candle wick is vertically stretched through a head-shaped hole that can be raised and lowered in a pipe mold in a water tank). In this state, heat-sealed solder is injected and filled into the pipe mold, and after it hardens, the head mold is lifted and the mold is removed, and the tail end, which is a predetermined length from the end of the candle head, is cut and removed. The candle wick 2 has a narrow tapered center hole 3 with an opening at the lower end where the lower part of the candle wick 2 is exposed at the center by a wax hardening shrinkage hole that occurs during manufacturing.

4 is the lower end 2a of the candle wick exposed inside the center hole 3
This washer 4 includes a seat plate portion 5 which is placed under the lower end surface of the candle body 1, and a center hole 3 provided at the center of one side of the seat plate portion as shown in FIG. A folded thin metal plate structure consisting of a ■-shaped open leg tongue part 7 a t 7 b having a small protrusion 6 for holding a wick inserted so as to sandwich a candle i52 therein, the above-mentioned With the leg opening tongue piece 7 a t 7 b inserted into the center hole 3, a jig such as tapered pliers is inserted into the hole to remove the leg opening tongue piece 7.
By compressing a and 7b from both sides to close the candle wick 2, the lower end of the candle wick 2 is held and attached.

This large-diameter candle with a washer is used by standing it in a saucer as shown in Figure 5, and when the candle burns almost to the end, the wax remaining on the lower end is separated and placed in the saucer. The candle wick 2, which accumulates in the saucer, but becomes short at that time, is held upright by the washer 4, thereby preventing the problem of the candle wick 2 sinking into the welding wax in the saucer and extinguishing the flame. Can be done.

Since the structure of the washer 4 and the attachment force of the washer 4 to the candle wick 2 are devised as described above in the free-standing large diameter candle with a washer of this invention, even if the candle body 1 is manufactured by a normal method, There is an effect that the washer 4 can be reliably attached by extremely simply and firmly gripping the candle wick 2, and a large diameter candle with a washer can be provided at a lower cost than conventional ones.

Note that the lower end 2a of the candle wick 2 exposed in the candle center hole 3 is connected to the open leg tongue portion 7a of the washer 4.

? When the candle wick 2 is held by pressing down a, a part of the candle wick 2 will not be exposed on the underside of the washer 4, so the candle body 1 can stand on its own in the saucer in a stable state, and the flame will not light. The danger of the candle falling over due to vibration etc. is also eliminated.
