Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a candle protector that prevents the candle flame from being extinguished by wind.

(Prior Art) The conventional candle protector is as shown in Fig. 17.
A porcelain candle base 1 having a hole 16 at the bottom and a notch 18 at the lower end has a candle stand 4 attached therein and a saucer 3 for receiving the melted wax. ,
A transparent synthetic resin cylinder 10 enclosing the saucer 3
It was screwed onto the base of the candle. Thus, traditional candle protectors prevented the candle flame from being extinguished by wind.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when the candle protector described above is used especially outdoors, since the tube 10 is made of synthetic resin, the entire body is light and easily falls over in the wind, creating a risk of fire. Not only that, but when the tube 10 is heated by the flame of the candle 9, its inner peripheral surface becomes soft, and if soot from the combustion of the candle 9 adheres, it is difficult to remove, making it difficult to clean and making it difficult to see the light from the flame. There was a drawback that the tube 10 would become distorted and the tube 10 would lose its shape.

Further, in order to screw together the base l and the tube 10, it is necessary to use a door handle, which is inconvenient if one hand cannot be used.

Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a candle stand 4 that is included in the upper part of the base 1 which has the candle stand 4 attached to the upper surface. Fit and attach the glass tube 5 with both ends open as shown,
A configuration is adopted in which a ventilation hole 2 is provided on at least either one of the side surface of the base 1 or the side surface of the proximal end of the glass tube 5.

(Operation) The present invention operates as follows by employing the above configuration.

First, a candle is attached to the candle stand, and after the candle is lit, a glass tube is fitted and attached to the candle base. Air always enters the inside of the glass tube through the ventilation hole drilled on the side of the candle or the bottom side of the glass tube.
Provided for burning candles. In addition, the glass tube can withstand the heat of the candle flame without softening or deforming, and because it has a large weight, it can withstand being knocked over by wind.

(Example) An example embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show the candle protector of the present invention.

1 in the drawing is a base made of porcelain, and the base 1 is in the shape of a thick disk.
A cylindrical support tube 1b is integrally formed on the upper surface of the support tube a, and a ventilation hole 2 is provided on the side of the support tube Ib. A cylindrical candle holder 1c is formed on the inside of the support cylinder 1b to protrude upward from the base 1a. Further, a saucer 3 having a planar circular shape for receiving wax melted by heat is formed at the upper end of the pedestal 1c, and a metal plate 3 for holding a candle upright is formed in the center of the saucer 3. The vertical needle 4 is fixed.

Reference numeral 5 designates a heat-resistant cylindrical glass tube that protects the candle flame supported by a locking step 6 provided inside the support tube 1b from the wind. Reference numeral 7 denotes a support tube that is removably fitted to the upper end of the glass tube 5, and 8 is an umbrella fixed to the upper part of the support tube 7 to prevent rainwater from entering the glass tube 5. There is. An exhaust hole 7a is provided on the side surface of the support tube 7.

Next, the function of the candle protector configured as described above will be explained.

First, place the candle protector of this embodiment in a predetermined place, and remove the glass tube 5 to which the umbrella 8 is attached from the base 1.
Next, after the candle 9 is set upright by the vertical needle 4, the candle is lit. Here, the glass tube 5 is placed on the base l again.
When mated, it is ready for use.

In the usage state shown in FIG.
It passes through and enters the inside of the glass tube 5.

Carbon dioxide generated after combustion rises due to the hot air and is discharged to the outside through an exhaust hole 7a provided in the support tube 7 below the umbrella 8. This allows the candle 9 to burn without any problem. In addition, the melted wax that stops lighting is
It can be received by saucer 3.

Further, rain falling from above is blocked by the umbrella 8 and falls from the lower end of the umbrella 8 onto the outside of the glass tube 5 without entering the inside of the glass tube 5. Furthermore, the wind blowing from the side is blocked by the glass cylinder 5, so that the flame of the candle does not go out.

Further, in this embodiment, by using the glass tube 5, it has a large own weight and is difficult to fall over due to wind, so there is less fear of fire.

The heat-resistant glass cylinder 5 can withstand the heat of a candle flame without softening or losing its shape, and even if soot or the like adheres to it, it can be easily removed by washing with water or the like. Therefore, the clear light of the candle flame passing through the transparent glass tube 5 is maintained.

By the way, in the prior art shown in FIG. 17, when attaching the tube 10 to the base l by screwing it, hold the base l with one hand, hold the tube 1o with the other hand, and screw it onto the base l. In this embodiment, the glass tube 5 is simply fitted to the base 1, so even in situations where one hand cannot be used, such as when it is raining, it is convenient because the candle 9 can be prepared for use with the other hand.
