DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incense for burning and fumigating a chemical for the purpose of repelling pests, aroma and deodorization, sterilization, etc., including mosquito incense sticks. More specifically, individual incense sticks can be sequentially connected. And an incense stick whose burning time can be freely adjusted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, the use of mosquito coils has been decreasing indoors due to the emergence of electric mosquito coils, but they are still useful today because they can be easily and easily used anywhere. Recently, outdoor use scenes are increasing due to a leisure boom, a gardening boom, and a pet boom.

[0003] In such a situation, if the burning time of the mosquito coil that can be easily used can be freely controlled, it is considered that the range of application is further expanded.

By the way, a mosquito coil, which is a conventional insecticide incense stick, is generally in the form of a spiral, and is formed such that once ignited, it burns continuously for about 7 hours until the end. Therefore, when it is unnecessary after a predetermined time has elapsed, the burning part is cut off in the middle of the incense stick or water is put out to extinguish the fire. On the other hand, when long-term continuous use is necessary, a new incense must be lit with an eye on the timing of replenishment.

The following conventional techniques are known as means for solving these inconveniences.

That is, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 43-7200 (first prior art), a hole into which the tip of another incense is inserted is provided in the center of the spiral incense, and the bent tip of another incense is provided in this hole. Are shown so that one incense can be connected to one incense so as to continuously burn another incense.

Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 6-310102 (second prior art) discloses that a concave portion is provided on one of both end portions of the incense and a convex portion is provided on the other, so that different incense can be sequentially connected to the concave portion and the convex portion. Such a configuration is shown.

[0008]

Among the above-mentioned prior arts, in the first prior art, it takes time and effort to manufacture a spiral mosquito coil, and there is a risk that the spiral mosquito coil will be lost during the distribution process until it reaches the consumer, and that it will not be used. There is a fear that a fire may occur due to the fall of the ember. Also, the second prior art is configured to be connected by fitting at both ends of a U-shape in shape.
If care is not taken for this fitting, this fitting portion is broken and quality cannot be guaranteed. As described above, in the case of the related art, troubles are expected to occur in the use scene, and it is not practical.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and has been made so that the burning time of incense can be controlled to be short and long, the amount of chemical fumigation can be controlled, and the production is simple and compact. The object of the present invention is to provide an incense such as a mosquito incense stick which can be packaged in a garbage and further eliminates the possibility of breakage of the connecting portion, has a good initial ignition, and can promote the spread of fire at the connecting portion. It is.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, an incense stick according to the present invention is formed in a rod shape, and has a groove on a side surface and a ridge having a shape fitted into the groove. It has the structure provided in the direction. The groove and the ridge are provided over the entire length of the incense in the longitudinal direction. Further, at least one longitudinal end of the incense stick is subjected to a surface treatment for promoting combustion.

[0011]

[Operation] The two incense sticks are integrally connected by fitting the other ridge into the groove of one incense stick. By connecting the plurality of incense sticks with their phases shifted in the longitudinal direction, the overall length can be changed arbitrarily and the amount of incense burned can be changed arbitrarily. In addition, ignition is easily performed at the end that has been subjected to the surface treatment for promoting combustion, and fire spread at the connection portion is promoted.

Further, by connecting a plurality of incense sticks in the same phase in the longitudinal direction, the plurality of incense sticks are connected in a lump and the burning amount of the incense sticks can be arbitrarily changed.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a single incense stick.
Has a groove 2 on one side, and a ridge 3 having a shape fittable with the groove 2 on the other side in the longitudinal direction. The end of the incense stick 1 is subjected to a surface treatment for promoting combustion, and a combustion accelerator 4 is attached to the surface of the end. The surface treatment with the combustion accelerator 4 is performed by immersing the end of the incense stick in a solution in which the combustion accelerator 4 is dissolved or by coating. Alternatively, it is performed by applying a wax-like material. As the combustion promoter 4, a nitrate-based substance, a phosphorus-based substance, a wax-based substance, or the like is used.

The incense stick 1 can be connected by fitting the ridge 3 of another incense stick 1 into the groove 2 of one incense stick 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, by shifting the phases of the incense sticks 1 and 1 in the longitudinal direction, the overall length becomes longer, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of incense sticks 1, 1 are collected compactly. Although both figures show an example in which two incense sticks 1 and 1 are connected, another incense can be sequentially connected by fitting the groove 2 and the ridge 3.

By connecting a plurality of incense sticks 1 with their phases shifted in the longitudinal direction, the individual incense sticks 1 are connected.
Becomes longer, and this length can be arbitrarily changed depending on the number of connected incense sticks. Therefore, the burning time of the incense determined by the length of the incense can also be arbitrarily determined.

On the other hand, by connecting the incense sticks 1 in the same phase as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of incense sticks can be formed into a lump having a fixed length, which is convenient for handling and packaging when not in use. . By burning a plurality of incense sticks in the same phase in this way, the amount of combustion at this time is increased by twice or three times as much as one incense stick. This is effective, for example, when the number of connected units is changed according to a large room, or when an effect is quickly obtained in an outdoor space.

FIG. 4 shows another example of the cross-sectional shape of the groove 2 and the ridge 3. The groove 2a of the incense stick 1 is formed in a dovetail shape, and the ridge 3a is formed in a tenon shape. is there.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which both a groove 2 and a ridge 3 fitted into the groove 2 are provided on the same side surface of the rod-shaped incense stick 1a in the sectional shape. The ridges 3 are formed by walls on both sides of the groove 2.

Also in this embodiment, a plurality of incense sticks 1 are connected to be elongated in the longitudinal direction by fitting the grooves 2 and the ridges 3 while shifting the phase of the plurality of incense sticks 1 in the longitudinal direction. .

In this case, when the incense sticks 1a are connected in the same phase in the longitudinal direction, two incense sticks are connected as shown in FIG.

The cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped incense sticks 1 and 1a in each of the above embodiments is arbitrary, such as a square, a triangle, a polygon, and a cylinder.
