Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an incense stick bundle which has a simple structure but can easily and regularly be ignited. SOLUTION: As shown in the figure (a), this incense stick bundle used for visiting a grave comprises an incense stick bundle 2 obtained by bundling plural incense sticks 1 in an approximately columnar shape wherein the incense stick bundle 2 is bound with paper belts 3 at two positions spaced in the longitudinal direction. In the columnar incense stick bundle 2, the ends of the incense sticks 1 placed on the central side are projected from the ends of incense sticks 1 placed on the outside in the longitudinal direction of the incense sticks. More concretely, the plural incense sticks 1 forming the incense stick bundle 2 are arranged so that the ends of the plural incense sticks 1 are gradually projected from the incense sticks 1 placed on the outside to the incense sticks 1 placed on the central side.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to incense sticks, and more particularly to incense sticks that facilitate ignition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional incense bundle is formed by bundling a large number of incense sticks, and two portions in the length direction of the incense bundle are bound by a band. For example, in the case of a grave visit, one end of the incense bundle is lit with a match or the like.

[0003] However, it is surprisingly difficult to satisfactorily ignite the entire end portion of such incense sticks using a match or lighter, which is experienced by anyone visiting a grave. It is a fact that the wound wrapping paper and the once rolled newspaper are lit, and the incense is lit using the burned newspaper.

In addition, in the conventional incense sticks, there is variation in ignition due to each incense stick, and even if it is thought that the entire end of the incense stick is lit, it is often the case that some incense sticks are not lit. In addition, after the incense stick was set on the incense stand provided on the tombstone, only a part of the incense remained without burning, and the appearance was poor.

There is also an application aimed at easily igniting the incense stick, but in each case, an igniter and an igniting agent are used separately from the incense stick main body, which unnecessarily complicates the structure of the incense stick. Therefore, there was a fear that the cost of incense sticks, which should be inexpensive, would increase.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an incense stick which has a simple structure, facilitates ignition and has no variation in ignition.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs a technical means that, in a incense bundle formed by bundling a plurality of incense sticks, the end of the incense stick located at the center side is placed on the outer side. The incense stick is located above the end of the incense stick.

As a result of extensive studies by the applicant, the incense is arranged such that the central portion of the end of the incense stick protrudes or protrudes, and the end is ignited. It turned out to be easy. In addition, as a result of the comparative experiment, it was found that the ignition can be performed more favorably by setting the difference in protrusion between the ends of the incense sticks adjacent to each other from the outside toward the center outside the center. And after igniting in this way, even if the strip is removed and the incense holder is set up or distributed to other grave attendants, the object can be achieved in a shorter time than in the conventional incense bundle. .

The configuration of the incense stick according to the present application can be achieved by using a conventional incense stick with a jig devised by the applicant. The jig is provided with a convex contact surface, and by pressing one end of the incense bundle by the corresponding contact surface,
The central part of the other end of the incense stick is raised. Alternatively, the jig is provided with a concave abutting surface, and by guiding one end of the incense stick to the corresponding abutting surface, the central portion of the end is projected. I have.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1A, the grave incense stick is composed of a plurality of incense sticks 1 bundled in a substantially columnar shape, and the incense sticks 2 are spaced apart in the length direction. The two places are bound by the band paper 3.

In the cylindrical incense bundle 2, the end of the incense stick 1 located on the center side protrudes in the length direction of the incense stick 1 from the end of the incense stick 1 located on the outer peripheral side. More specifically, the plurality of incense sticks 1 constituting the incense stick bundle 2 are arranged such that the end portions of the incense sticks 1 project from the incense stick 1 located on the outer peripheral side toward the incense stick 1 located on the center side. Has been established.

In FIG. 1B, reference numeral 4 denotes a jig for arranging incense sticks. The jig 4 has a flat bottom surface 5 and a convex contact surface 6. In the illustrated one, the contact surface 6 is
It is a hemispherical peripheral surface that bulges out from the bottom surface 5. The peripheral surface is pressed against one end of the incense stick 2 so that the other end of the incense stick 2 protrudes. The shape of the jig is not limited to the one shown in the drawing, but the point is that the jig is provided with a convex peripheral surface so that the central part of the end of the incense stick 2 can be protruded or raised. It is sufficient if it has.

FIG. 2 shows a jig 40 according to another embodiment. The jig 40 has a concave contact guide surface 40. When the end of the incense stick 2 is guided by the contact guide surface 40, the incense stick 1 at the center of the end can be projected. The shape of the contact guide surface 40 is a mortar in FIG. Shape,
In (b), the shape is an inverted pyramid, but the shape of the contact guide surface 40 is not limited to these, and the point is that the end of the incense bundle 2 is guided in contact with the center of the end. What is necessary is just to be able to make a part protrude.

[0014]

FIG. 3 shows an end portion of an incense stick 2 according to an embodiment. A plurality of incense sticks 1 each having a diameter of 2 mm are prepared to form a column-shaped incense stick 2, and the protrusion width of radially adjacent incense sticks from the incense stick 1 located on the outer peripheral side to the incense stick 1 located in the center is defined as: Increased outside. Specifically, the dimension d in the figure is 1 cm. When ignition was performed in such an arrangement of the incense sticks 1, the ignition was easily and uniformly performed as compared with a conventional incense bundle (having a flat end portion).

FIG. 4 discloses an incense bundle reinforcing device. FIGS. 4A and 4B show that, at one end of a bundle of incense sticks formed by bundling a plurality of incense sticks 1 of the same length, the end of the incense stick located on the center side is shifted from the end of the incense stick located outside. The other end of the incense bundle when it is projected is shown. FIG.
(C) shows a bottom view of the other end side of the incense bundle. A concave portion is formed on the other end side, and a reinforcing member 7 is detachably provided in the concave portion. A plurality of curved concave surfaces are formed on the peripheral surface of the reinforcing member 7 so as to extend in the vertical direction, and the curved concave surfaces come into contact with the peripheral surface of the incense stick 1, respectively. As is clear from the figure, the reinforcing member 7 is in contact with at least the end of the incense stick 10 located on the outermost side. By doing so, the lower end portion of the outermost incense stick 10 that is easily broken is reinforced. Therefore, during transportation and the like,
Part of the incense bundle is not damaged. The reinforcing member 7 may be used also as an alignment jig.

[0016]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, ignition can be easily performed, and there is no variation in ignition.
