DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a candle service at weddings and receptions, a birthday party, a home party, an event, and the like using candles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional candle, a solid wax having an appropriate melting point is led from the center of the flame to the melting point by the heat of the flame, and is drawn up by a capillary phenomenon through a wick to burn and generate a flame to maintain the function of combustion. However, there was no candle that led the wax other than the vicinity of the flame to the melting point by the heat conduction function, and was drawn up and burned by the capillary phenomenon from the inflow port provided in advance.

[0003] Further, the flame position is such that the burning position has elapsed and the wax volume has decreased and the height position has decreased, and there is no candle that can keep the flame position constant regardless of the consumption of the wax. However, there was no candle that could end the combustion at the designated position by itself despite the possible time of the combustion.

Further, as seen in the combustion of lantern type candles (FIG. 5), when the flame is located inside the candle due to the influence of air conditioning and the like, and the surrounding wax is brought to the melting point at a stretch, the surface becomes liquefied. The volume of the core rapidly increased and the core carbonized by combustion was positioned below the liquid level again, the absorption of wax by capillary action weakened and the flame darkened, but the carbonized part of the core was pulled out and the uncarbonized part was removed from the liquefied surface There was no candle that could be protruded and restored to its original size.

In the shape of the candle, as seen in a lantern type candle (FIG. 5) and the like, a low-melting wax material 15 is provided on the inner side in contact with the core, and a non-flammable high-melting wax material 16 is provided on the outside.
Although some of them retain their appearance by using a structure made of two kinds of wax materials having different melting points, the use of a candle made of only the same wax material having a melting point of about 60 ° C. There is nothing that can retain the previous appearance, its shape melts from the vicinity of the flame to the outside and changes its shape every moment with the burning time, and it is generally taper type, spiral type, straight type, cup type regardless of its size The reason why the mold etc. is the mainstream shape and the upper part does not protrude larger than the lower part is that if the upper part is larger than the lower part, the wax that has reached the melting point and liquefied This is because there is an obstacle such as flowing out or a protruding portion being softened, and furthermore, being lost without support.

[0006]

The candle material has a great influence on the burning of the candle, but the number of knits corresponding to the thickness of the core or the subtle shape of the core such as circular knit or flat knit. It is natural that the combustion situation is also greatly affected by the difference, even if the wick does not penetrate the entire candle and only passes halfway inside the candle, one end of the protruding wick is ignited The end of the other core was not burned out by the burning flame, and a cup candle (Fig. 1)
As can be seen in 5) etc., even if the core has a slight length, the core in the wax liquidized by the heat of the flame does not carbonize and maintains the capillary phenomenon, and the wax generated by the heat generated from the flame Liquefied, burned, or softened if the candle has a shape in which the upper part protrudes larger than the lower part, which has the function of melting, sucking up and burning all the candles in the cup.
Due to the lack, it is difficult to maintain the appearance of the protruding portion, and there is a problem in the conventional burning structure seen in candles in maintaining the shape of the appearance and ending the combustion naturally within the combustible time.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems One of the means for arbitrarily adjusting the burning state of the candle, the appearance, and the prediction of the fire extinguishing time, it is necessary to keep the height of the flame constant. In order to maintain the height of the flame at the position, the wax and the wick that have reached the melting point and become liquid are prevented from being sucked up indefinitely. As shown in the figure, the wick 1 corresponding to the burning portion, the heat conducting portion 10 which also serves as a passage for the liquefied wax and the storage of the wick, an inlet 11 for the liquid wax,
And the structure which provides the heat insulation part 13 and clarifies each position and function is preferable.

As a means for maintaining the external shape of the candle, wax having reached a melting point unnecessary for combustion softens the outer wall serving as a container portion, and is further melted to flow into the interior so as not to flow out. A structure in which a hollow container portion that can be stored and solidified again is provided.

Further, a heat insulating portion is provided inside the candle so that the core, which is integrated with the heat conductive portion, does not melt down the wax of the base portion by natural heat, and maintains a vertical posture equivalent to that at the time of storage. Is preferred.

[0010] Even in the combustion state of the wick, if the bulk of the liquid wax surface suddenly increases centering on the wick due to the candle shape, the expansion of the volume due to air conditioning or heat, etc., the carbonized and consumed core portion becomes the liquid wax. It will be located again below the liquid level, and it will not be possible to sufficiently obtain the brightness of the flame because it will not be able to perform the capillary action sufficiently. It is preferable that the uncarbonized wick that is stored and not consumed is freely drawn out.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, one end of the core 1 is fixed inside the heat conducting part 10 and the spiral spare part core 12 housed inside the heat conducting part can be easily pulled out. When the liquid level of the liquefied wax drops below the upper end of the heat conduction pipe 10 as shown in FIG. 2, the liquefied wax is liquefied by capillary action. Is sucked in from the inflow port and passes through the inside of the heat conducting part as a passage. Further, the heat of the flame is transmitted to the whole heat conducting part so that the wax of the fixed part, which is the basis of this function, is not melted. Housed inside.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, there is provided a hollow container portion 8 through which the liquid wax having reached the melting point overflows so that it does not flow to the outside.
The liquid wax whose volume has been increased to the extent that it cannot maintain the surface tension is flowing into the cavity.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the entire appearance of combustion by heat conduction is shown. If the flame position is constant, the heat does not directly reach the solid wax, and as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the position of is lowered inside the candle with the passage of time, and is located inside the candle, without softening the wax 9 or flowing out the liquefied wax 6 to the outside. Except for the hollow portion 7 serving as a container, the wax is burned in a substantially circular shape within a certain range around the core.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the combustion is continued while leaving the wall of the wax portion 19 which is provided to protrude in front of and behind the flame and which wants to retain the appearance. Does not lead to the melting point, does not soften and deform 9 as shown in FIG. 7, and the liquid wax does not flow out 6 to maintain the shape before ignition.

FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing a conventional candle burning, and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a candle burning by a heat conduction function. It shows the difference in the position and the difference in the combustion consumption of the solid wax part.

[0017]

The flame ignited at the tip of the core protruding from the candle body melts the wax, and the liquefied wax begins to function as a conventional candle by capillary action. When one end is exposed from the surface of the liquid wax that maintains surface tension at the top of the candle, the capillary action from the top of the candle with the original core ends, and immediately after the flame is once reduced, Inhalation is transferred to the inlet,
At the same time, the size of the flame was restored to normal, indicating that the inhalation from the inflow port was started.After that, the height of the flame was kept constant until the fire was extinguished. After more time, the range of solid wax that leads to the melting point in the heat conduction part reached the limit, the volume of liquid wax also decreased, the size of the flame gradually became smaller than the normal combustion state, and after a few minutes it was complete The flame was extinguished.

No liquefied wax was found at the fire extinguishing trace, and it was clarified that all the liquid wax guided to the melting point by the heat conduction function was absorbed from the inlet by the capillary action and burned. The length of the inlet from the tip of the candle is proportional to the burning time, and the body of the heat transfer function keeps almost the same angle and position when housed inside the candle, ensuring normal combustion from ignition to extinguishing. Indicated.

The burning surface was substantially circular, and when 16 round cotton candle cores were used in a room with no air at room temperature, the diameter of the burning portion surface was within 40 mm. FIG. 13 shows a state in which the candle of FIG. 12 is burned out by using the heat conduction function before the ignition of the candle having the portion 19 whose appearance is to be retained, and FIG. 14 shows the candle of FIG. The state at the time of fire extinguishing without using is shown.
