Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a stone candle holder to be placed in front of a grave.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, when visiting the graves of ancestors during Obon and Equinox,
Flowers, candles, and incense sticks are placed in front of the graves. But the candle goes out as soon as the wind blows,
Also, when it rained, the fire would not start, and furthermore, it was difficult to keep the fire lit while praying, and it was a hassle to have to relight it every time it went out. Also, after the prayer is completed, the candle is left in its place,
There was a problem of desecrating the cemetery.

Therefore, in recent years, candlelight furnaces and lighthouses that do not extinguish the flame have been proposed in Publication of Utility Model Application No. 18083-1983 (hereinafter referred to as Publication No. There is.

In the above-mentioned Publication No. A, a circular roof is formed at the top of a column of arbitrary size, the lower part of the roof is a body, grooves are carved in the hollow, the inside is hollow, and the front of the body is open. The gist is a stone incense stick and candle holder set made of one stone, with an incense holder and a candle holder set inside and out so that they can be moved in and out. The purpose and effect of this invention was to form the roof and body into one piece using a single stone, but make it look like the roof and body are separate, and also to prevent the candle from getting wet in the rain and to extinguish the flame. The effect is that the roof and body are made with concave grooves that make the roof and body look different, and the design is beautiful, and the candle does not go out in the rain or wind. There is a candlelight furnace to offer.

On the other hand, the gist of Publication No. B is a lighthouse that is surrounded on all four sides by glass plates, one of which can be opened and closed, has metal plates on the floor and ceiling, and is equipped with a roof. The purpose and effect of this invention is that it is completely unaffected by normal wind and rain because it is surrounded by glass plates on all four sides, that the windows can be opened and closed freely, that it is especially convenient for use in outdoor graveyards, and that it can be disassembled. To provide a lighthouse that is convenient to assemble and transport.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, in the above conventional structure, since there is no ventilation hole, the flame of the candle burns incompletely and rides on the rising air current, blackening the upper part of the opening and the glass plate with soot, which seriously spoils the appearance and makes the glass plate glow with soot. There was a problem that it could not be removed. In addition, when wiping off soot, there is a problem that the soot gets into minute gaps between stones and glass plates, making wiping it time-consuming and troublesome. or,
The outside flame of a candle has a high temperature of approximately 1,400 degrees Celsius, but because it does not have a vent, the problem is that the heat is trapped inside the cavity, heating the entire roof and causing accidents such as burns. Incidentally, in Publication No. 2, a metal plate is formed directly above the candle to block hot air, but it has been found that the metal plate is heated by the radiant heat of the candle's outer flame and is extremely dangerous, such as causing burns. Furthermore, Publication No. A has no windproof or rainproof means at the opening, so wind and rain easily blow in, causing the candle's flame to go out. On the other hand, Publication No. B has a glass plate around the candle, Although it is equipped with a means to prevent wind and rain, it does not have a draft means, so the glass plates around the candle are heated to high temperatures by the radiant heat of the candle and the radiant heat of the metal plate on the ceiling. It is dangerous, and also has the disadvantage that its mechanical strength deteriorates due to residual thermal strain, causing it to crack even with the slightest impact, resulting in a lack of durability. Another problem was that the candles could become deformed or melt due to strong direct sunlight during the summer. In particular, in the case of Publication No. 2, the temperature inside the candle reaches over 40℃ due to the greenhouse effect, which causes the candle (the melting point of a candle is 45℃ to 60℃) to bend easily, and when the candle is lit, there is no draft effect. There was a problem in that the candle melted and was completely useless, and it was difficult to clean up the wax etc.

This invention solves the above conventional problems,
The draft effect of the air supply means between the ventilation hole of the hat, the cover, and the opening, as well as the ignition hole of the incense stick, smoothly discharges heat from the candle and direct sunlight to the outside of the system. An excellent graveside that does not heat up, poses no risk of burns, and is highly durable, with no soot and good appearance due to complete combustion, and allows candles to be lit without being affected by rain or wind. The purpose is to provide stone candle holders for use.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this purpose, the stone candle holder for use in front of a grave according to the present invention has a cap section having a ventilation hole in the approximate center, a body section having a hollow interior, and a body section connected to the body section. A pedestal part, an opening communicating with a hollow part formed in the side surface of the body part, a removable cover part that covers the opening part, and a body part surrounding the opening part and the cover part. It has a configuration including an air inflow portion formed by a gap.

The shape of the shade may be a general lantern shape, such as a round or hexagonal shape, and the ventilation hole is preferably provided at the top of the shade, but depending on the shape of the shade, etc. It may be provided at any location as long as it does not obstruct the upward airflow. The cap may be formed integrally with the body, but if it is formed separately and detachable, it can be used for lighting incense sticks and is convenient for cleaning. It is preferable that the size of the ventilation hole be approximately 1/2 to 3 times the diameter of the candle flame, since this allows the candle flame to burn vertically and burns completely, thereby preventing soot from forming.

The shape of the body and the pedestal may be cylindrical, prismatic, or the like. It is preferable to form the hollow portion inside the body or the pedestal into a circular shape because it can be efficiently formed by machining using a cylinder forming machine or the like. In addition, when the body part is hand-processed, it may be prismatic.

The pedestal portion may be formed integrally with the body portion, or may be formed separately. The pedestal part is formed in various ways, from as low as the engaging edge to as high as the engaging edge, depending on the grade of the stone candle holder.

The opening allows you to put in and take out candles, candlesticks, etc.
It only needs to be large enough to allow the lamp to shine through and provide light. Providing a hole for lighting an incense stick on the side of the body or on the back of the opening makes it easy and convenient to light the incense stick. Moreover, the draft effect can also be enhanced. However, if it is used on a windy coast, etc., it is not necessary to install it. This is because there is a risk that the candle's flame will be extinguished by the wind.
A cover portion made of a transparent resin such as polycarbonate, acrylic resin, or polystyrene with enhanced weather resistance is placed over the front surface of the opening.

The cover portion is formed into a semicircular arc shape by injection molding or the like. It is preferable to provide a protrusion for engaging means with the opening on the upper edge or the upper part, since the cover part will not be lost due to wind or the like.

The air inlet is formed by the gap between the body and the cover around the opening. The supply of air from the air inlet helps the candle flame to rise and promotes complete combustion of the candle through a draft effect.

In addition, if an air inflow hole is provided in the cover, body, or pedestal, especially in the lower part, the heat of the candle flame, which is over 1400℃, will be quickly discharged from the system due to the draft effect, and This is preferable because the heat inside the system heated by direct sunlight, the setting sun, etc. is discharged to the outside of the system, which prevents the candle from bending or melting. Further, if a locking hole for locking the locking member on the upper part of the cover is provided in the upper part of the opening of the body, the cover can be easily engaged and the opening can be reliably covered. In addition, the locking holes enhance the draft effect, allowing the candle flame to completely burn out and preventing soot from building up inside the wall.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, the flame of the candle burns completely due to the draft effect of the gap between the ventilation hole of the cap, the cover, and the opening, and there is no soot buildup inside the wall or on the cap. It is also extremely small and can be easily wiped off. Further, due to the draft effect, hot air from the outer flame of the candle can be quickly discharged to the outside of the system, so that the body and the cap are not heated and thermal distortion is not caused. Furthermore, even if the inside of the system is heated by direct sunlight or the setting sun, the draft effect smoothly discharges the heat to the outside of the system, so even if you blow out the candles after praying and leave them as is, they will not melt, bend, or fall over like traditional candles do. There are no candles, so you can reuse the candles. Furthermore, even if raindrops enter through the vents, they are evaporated by the heat released by the draft effect, which prevents the candle flame from extinguishing unless there is heavy rain. Furthermore, the candle can be lit without being affected by rain or wind due to the shade or cover. In addition, the cover part is transparent and burns completely without leaving any soot, so the lamp can be clearly seen and the surrounding area can be brightened.

The cover retainer 6a made of resin is a drainage hole formed in the lower part of the pedestal part 5 from the pedestal hollow part 51 toward the outside. Note that the hole 45 for the cover retainer has a great influence on the draft effect, but if the shape of the cover or the candle holder in front of a grave is intended for flat ground, there is no risk of the cover being blown away by the wind, so it is not necessary to form it. You can. The incense stick lighting hole 46 does not need to be formed when the cap 2 is removable. This is because the incense stick can be lit by removing the cap 2.

In FIG. 2, 31 is a bulge that removably fits into the upper part of the hollow body part 44, 32 is a sliding part with the upper edge of the body part 4, and 33 is an edge around the cap part 2. be. The diameter of the ventilation hole 3 is about 1.5 to the outer flame of a candle.
It is formed approximately twice as long, and its length is approximately 7 cm. The length of the ventilation hole 3 may be approximately 1.5 to 10 cm depending on the grade of the candle holder, but if it is made long, even if raindrops enter the shade, they will only wet the side wall of the ventilation hole 3 and the candleholder will be The heat of the flame evaporates immediately, which prevents the candle flame from extinguishing.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 42 is a semi-circular plate-shaped body made by injection molding of polycarbonate resin treated with a weathering agent, which is placed in the opening 41 of the body 4, and has a flat plate on the front side of the central part. The cover portion in which the bulging portion is formed, 421 is the cover locking portion 4 of the body portion 4

The method of using the stone candle holder in front of a grave of this embodiment constructed as described above will be explained below with reference to FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the stone candle holder for graves according to an embodiment of the present invention is used.

After fixing the lower part of the pedestal of the stone candle holder 1 in front of the grave to the edge of the grave with an adhesive such as cement, the cap 2 is attached.
, put a finger into the locking hole 53 of the middle base 52, lift it up, and store it in the hollow part 51 of the base. Next, the cover part 42 is removed from the cover locking part 43, and the candlestick 54 with the candle prepared is inserted into the hollow part 44 from the opening part 41.
Then, the locking piece 421 of the cover portion 42 is locked to the cover locking portion 43 to cover the opening 41. Because of the cover part 42, the flame of the candle will not go out even if the wind blows or it rains, and the air will be blown through the ventilation hole 3 or the gap between the cover part 42 and the opening part 41 due to the draft effect. Therefore, the flame of the candle rises vertically without tilting or swaying, and furthermore, due to the draft effect by the air supply means in the gap between the vent part 3, the cover part 42, and the opening part 41. Since the heat is exhausted from the ventilation hole 3, there is no possibility of heat being trapped inside the candle body even when the candle is lit. In addition, the draft effect allows the candle to burn completely, so there is almost no soot and it stays beautiful forever. Furthermore, even when there is strong direct sunlight or setting sun during Obon holidays, the heat inside the system is discharged through the ventilation hole 3 due to the draft effect.
Since cold air flows into the system through the gap between the candles and the candles, the candles in the system will not become soft due to the heat inside the system and will not tip or fall over.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention has an air supply means consisting of a ventilation hole in the approximate center of the shade and an air inlet formed by a gap between the cover and the periphery of the opening. Because there are
Due to its draft effect, the heat of the candle flame is exhausted from the ventilation hole, preventing heat from building up inside.
The candle does not bend due to heat, and it is safe to touch the candle holder without worrying about getting burned.
Furthermore, it is extremely durable because it does not deteriorate due to heat history. Furthermore, since the flame of the candle burns completely, soot does not stain the inner walls, especially the upper edges of the openings, making them look unsightly, so they can always be kept beautiful and require little maintenance.

In addition, since it has a cap and cover, even when the wind blows or it rains, the candle's flame will not go out and will burn completely, illuminating the surrounding area. You can worship your ancestors reverently without the hassle of having to light a fire.
