Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to an apparatus for preventing wax dripping of candles, which can prevent wax dripping of candles provided in Buddhist altars and the like.

Conventional technology Normally, when a candle wick is lit, the heat of the flame causes the melted wax to drip down the candle body.
It hardens in place and makes the candle look unsightly. This is at the Buddhist altar.
This damaged the solemnity of the Buddhist altar.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a device was devised in which a device 2 was attached to a candle 1 to prevent the melted wax from dripping. That is, the illustrated device 2 includes a generally cylindrical main body 2a having an inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the candle 1, a cap portion 2b whose diameter gradually increases from the upper end of the main body 2a, and the cap portion. 2
b, and a protrusion 2c with a substantially semicircular cross section provided circumferentially in the inner circumferential direction of the boundary of the main body 2a, and is also made of glass. The protrusion 2c of this device 2 is placed on the periphery of the upper end surface of the candle 1, and the device 2
is attached to the upper end of the candle 1.

Therefore, the device 2 prevents the melted wax from dripping by collecting most of the melted wax on the inner surface of the cap 2b of the device 2 and burning it through the wick 1a.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned conventional appliance 2, a part of the melted wax drips from the gap between the main body 2a and the candle 1 and solidifies in this part, and the main body 2a sticks to the candle 1. Equipment 2 should be lowered at the same time as it wears out.
There is a problem in that there is a period in which the wax does not descend, and during this period, the wax that continues to melt overflows from the cap portion 2b. Furthermore, if the above problem is repeated and candle 1 becomes shorter than appliance 2, appliance 2 will be burnt by the candle's flame, so when you try to remove appliance 2, candle 1 will stick to appliance 2. In the worst case, this can cause the problem of burning your fingers.

This invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a device for preventing melted wax from dripping while the candle is in use.

Means for Solving the Problem The device for preventing wax dripping of a candle according to this invention is characterized by a ring made of metal formed based on the shape of the edge of the upper surface of the candle, and a device that extends upward from the ring. A predetermined space is obtained between the umbrella portion, which gradually increases in diameter, and the candle when attached to the candle, and the lower opening edge creates a predetermined gap with the candle. The main body is made of glass or gypsum and is formed into a substantially spherical shape and is continuous with the upper edge of the umbrella.

Embodiments Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments of the drawings. The device 20 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a circular ring 21 made of, for example, copper or iron, and a main body 22 that is hollow and has a substantially spherical shape made of, for example, glass or plaster.

Specifically, the ring 21 has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the candle 10. The wall thickness of this ring 21 is set to about 2 mm in this embodiment. On the other hand, the main body 22 has openings 221 and 222 that penetrate in the vertical direction. The opening 221 is set to a size to which the ring 21 is fixed. In addition, the opening 22
2 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the candle 10.

Further, when the device 20 is attached to the candle 10, a predetermined space 224 is formed between the main body 22 and the candle 10, as shown in FIG. 10, a gap a of about 0.5 mm is created in this embodiment.

By attaching the device 20 to the candle 10 and lighting the wick 11 of the candle 10, the melted wax is efficiently transmitted through the wick by the ring 21 and burned, thereby preventing dripping of the melted wax. It can be prevented. In addition, the heat of the flame is conducted to the ring 21, and the melting speed of the candle 10 and the device 20 are
The lowering speed is almost the same as that of the conventional one, and there is no problem like the conventional one. Further, even when the candle 10 burns and becomes short to the same height as the appliance 20, the space 224 prevents the temperature of the main body 22 from rising, and the ring 21 receives the heat of the flame. Therefore, the device 20 can be easily removed from the candle 10.

Even if the flame is tilted for some reason and a part of the ring 21 is heated intensively,
The candle 10 below that part melts and the utensil 20
The opening 222 on the lower side of the main body 22 closes the gap a where the candle 10 contacts, and the wax hardens within the space 224 of the main body 22. Therefore, the wax will not drip from the fixture 20.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figures, and may be, for example, a device 20' shaped as shown in FIG. That is, the body 2 of the instrument 20'
2 is formed in a substantially spherical shape continuously from the edge of the umbrella portion whose diameter gradually increases upward from the ring 11. The cap is designed to store melted candle wax.

Effects of the invention As explained in detail above, this invention effectively achieved the original purpose of preventing melted wax from dripping down the candle and solidifying in a predetermined position. Furthermore, conventional problems can be completely prevented,
It has a significant practical effect.

Moreover, if the appearance is made as in the above embodiment, it will have the effect of becoming a very attractive Buddhist altar fitting.
