Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a candle whose flame is difficult to extinguish.

(Prior art and its problems) It is well known that commercially available candles generally have a structure in which a flammable fibrous core is formed and wax is solidified around the core in the form of a rod, except for the tip. It is being

These conventional candles have wicks made of thread or other fibrous material, and because the diameter is small, the burning area and area are narrow, and an open flame can easily be blown out by strong winds. Disappear. For this reason, if a thin wick is simply made thicker, the wax becomes more moist in the wick due to the capillary phenomenon, resulting in better combustion and greater light, but the disadvantage is that the candle's burning time becomes shorter. In addition, if the diameter of the wax body is increased or the core body is lengthened in order to overcome these drawbacks, there is a problem in that handling becomes inconvenient and the usability deteriorates.

(Means for solving the problem) As shown in the embodiment, the present invention has a cylindrical flammable wick 1 embedded in the candle body, and a large number of small holes 2 around the cylindrical wick. It is characterized by providing the following.

(Function) With the above means, even if the burning area of the candle wick 1, that is, the wick is made thicker, the capillary phenomenon becomes difficult to occur, reducing consumption of the wax, and oxygen is released into the wick 1 through the small holes 2. Since the fire spreads to every corner and the core body 1 is completely burnt, the flame is strengthened and becomes difficult to extinguish. Further, by providing a large number of small holes 2 in the core body 1, capillary phenomenon is less likely to occur, the burning time of the core body becomes longer, and the melting rate of the wax becomes slower.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. First, in FIG. is included.

As shown in FIG. 3, the core body 1 is, for example, made of a cylindrical material made of a combustible material such as paper, and has a large number of small holes 2 formed on its circumferential surface. The diameter of the cylindrical core 1, the size and quantity of the small holes 2, etc. may be arbitrarily determined depending on the specifications and purpose.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the core body 1, in which a mesh-like hollow body is formed of cotton thread, for example, so that small holes 2 are formed therein.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in FIG.
An incendiary agent 4 made of a mixture of potassium chlorate, antimony fluid, etc. mixed with glue is applied to the exposed tip of the tube and dried. When actually used, a mixed chemical product 6 such as red phosphorus and manganese peroxide is applied to the appropriate place of the candle storage container 5 as shown in FIG. It rubs against the chemical 6 to ignite it. In this way, when lighting the candle, there is no need for a torch or a lighter, and the candle can be ignited safely, reliably, and easily even when it is difficult to ignite it due to the wind.

(Effects) According to the present invention described above, the flammable core embedded in the candle body is cylindrical, and a large number of small holes are provided on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical core.
Even if the wick is made thicker to increase the burning area, capillary action becomes less likely to occur, reducing consumption of the wax and increasing the burning time. In addition, since oxygen can be supplied to the inside of the core, combustion on the inner and outer surfaces of the core is complete.
Effects such as increasing the strength of the fire and making it harder to extinguish can be obtained.
