  Hereinafter, a combustion core structure according to an embodiment of the present invention and a candle having the combustion core structure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each drawing is partially enlarged or reduced, not the actual size ratio, for easy understanding of the configuration. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a combustion core structure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a candle 10 having the combustion core structure 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the combustion core structure 1 according to the present invention includes a combustion core 2 and a core holding member 3. The candle 10 includes a bottomed container 8, a combustion agent 9 accommodated in the container 8, and the combustion core structure 1 shown in FIG.

  The combustion core 2 is a member formed in a string shape (linear shape), and a stopper member 2121 is integrally provided at one end thereof. The combustion core 2 is made of, for example, a known material mainly composed of combustible plant fibers. The stopper member 21 can be configured as a cylindrical body made of, for example, a metal material, and after inserting one end of the combustion core 2 into the cylindrical body, the cylindrical body is pressed from the outside of the cylindrical body. The combustion core 2 and the stopper member 21 can be integrated by caulking by being deformed. The form of the stopper member 21 is not limited to a cylindrical body. For example, the stopper member 21 is formed in a ring shape, and one end of the combustion core 2 is bound to the ring-shaped stopper member 21. Thus, the combustion core 2 and the stopper member 21 may be integrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the core holding member 3 includes an opening edge 4 that can be at least partially brought into contact with the bottom of the container 8 in which the combustion agent 9 is accommodated, and an upward standing from the opening edge 4. The peripheral wall part 5 to be provided and the ceiling part 6 covering the upper part of the peripheral wall part 5 are configured. A through-hole 7 through which the string-like combustion core 2 can be inserted and the stopper member 21 cannot be inserted is formed in the ceiling portion 6. The core holding member 3 is preferably formed from a metal material. In addition, from the viewpoint of stably placing the core holding member 3 on the bottom of the container 8, the opening edge 4 in contact with the bottom of the container 8 is set so that the maximum diameter is, for example, 10 mm or more. Is preferred.

  The combustion core structure 1 is configured by combining the above-described combustion core 2 and the core holding member 3. Specifically, the other end of the combustion wick 2 (the end on the side where the stopper member 21 is not provided) is inserted through the inner region surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6 of the wick holding member 3. 7, the stopper member 21 is combined so as to be disposed in an inner region surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6 of the core holding member 3. In the combined state, the core holding member 3 is suspended from the combustion core 2 and becomes a state.

  Here, as a form of the core holding member 3, an opening edge portion 4, a peripheral wall portion 5 erected upward from the opening edge portion 4, and a ceiling portion 6 covering the peripheral wall portion 5 are provided, and a space is provided inside. For example, a cylindrical body, a dome-shaped body, a triangular pyramid-shaped body having an opening at the bottom, a conical body, a polygonal columnar body, etc. are adopted. can do. In the case of a triangular pyramid or the like having an opening at the bottom and an internal space, the edge around the opening at the bottom constitutes the opening edge 4. Further, depending on the form of the core holding member 3 (for example, a triangular pyramid state or a conical body), there is a material that clearly cannot distinguish between the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6, but a through hole formed at the top portion 7 is the ceiling portion 6, and the portion other than the peripheral region of the through hole 7 and connected to the lower opening edge 4 is the peripheral wall portion 5. Moreover, the formation method of the core holding member 3 is not particularly limited. For example, when forming the conical core holding member 3 having an opening at the bottom and an internal space, a fan-shaped plate-like body is prepared, It can be formed by bending the plate-like body so that the two sides of the shape face each other. In such a case, a single linear gap in which the peripheral wall portion 5 does not exist is formed, but there is no particular problem. In addition, you may comprise so that two linear sides arranged opposingly may be piled up and may be fixed mutually so that the one linear gap | interval which does not have the surrounding wall part 5 may not be formed.

  1 and 2, the core holding member 3 is configured so that the entire region of the opening edge 4 of the core holding member 3 is in contact with the bottom of the container 8 in which the combustion agent 9 is accommodated. However, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration, and if the core holding member 3 assumes a stable posture when the opening edge 4 of the core holding member 3 is placed on the bottom of the container 8, the opening edge 4 is not required to be in contact with the bottom of the container 8, but at least part of the opening edge 4 is in contact with the bottom of the container 8 in which the combustion agent 9 is accommodated. Also good. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening edge 4 is configured such that a part of the opening edge 4 has a plurality of protrusions 41 protruding downward in a semicircular shape (direction opposite to the ceiling 6). In addition, a plurality of points (each vertex portion of the semicircular protruding portion 41) may be in contact with the bottom of the container 8. In addition, about the form of the protrusion part 41, it is not limited to semicircle shape, For example, various forms, such as an inverted triangular shape, square shape, and rod shape, are employable.

  Moreover, at least any one of the surrounding wall part 5 and the ceiling part 6 which comprises the core holding member 3 can be comprised so that a decoration part may be provided. Although the specific form of the decoration part is not limited, for example, a part imitating a bead, a shell, a heart shape, a flower, or the like fixed to the surface of the peripheral wall part 5 or the ceiling part 6 with an adhesive is used as the decoration part be able to. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the geometric pattern represented by forming a plurality of holes in the peripheral wall portion 5 or the ceiling portion 6 itself or embossing a part of the surface of the peripheral wall portion 5 or the like is decorated. It can also be a part. FIG. 4 is a sample appearance photographic image of the core holding member 3 prototyped by the inventors of the present invention. Further, a flower pattern, a heart shape, a diamond shape, a star shape, or the like expressed by forming a plurality of holes in the peripheral wall portion 5 or the ceiling portion 6 itself or embossing a part of the surface of the peripheral wall portion 5 or the like. A figure can also be used as a decorative part.

  Moreover, the burning agent 9 with which the candle 10 is equipped can use the conventionally well-known various burning agents 9 for the candle 10. FIG. Further, the combustion agent 9 may be a hard solid combustion agent 9 having self-supporting property, or may be a liquid / jelly-like combustion agent 9 having poor self-supporting property. Moreover, it is preferable to use a transparent combustion agent 9 as the combustion agent 9. Examples of the transparent combustion agent 9 include a known combustion agent 9 formed from a transparent candle composition using a polymer elastomer composed of diblock and triblock as a solidifying agent, and a gelling agent (solidifying agent). ) And a known combustible agent 9 formed from a transparent candle composition using a fatty acid, alcohol, ester or the like as a flammable solvent (flammable liquid). In addition, the burning agent 9 may be added with various functions by blending an fragrance, a coloring agent, an antioxidant, a stabilizer, an insect repellent, a flame retardant, and the like as additives.

  Moreover, the candle 10 which concerns on this invention can be manufactured by a conventionally well-known various method. For example, a liquid candle composition (combustion agent 9) is poured into the bottom center of the bottomed container 8 while placing the core holding member 3 in a state where the combustion core 2 is held. Then, it can manufacture by solidifying (or gelatinizing) the composition for a candle (burning agent 9). In the schematic configuration cross-sectional view of the candle shown in FIG. 2, the stopper member 21 is shown floating in the inner region of the core holding member 3, but is not limited to such an embodiment, and the stopper member 21. However, the candle may be configured in such a manner as to contact the bottom of the container 8.

  As described above, the core holding member 3 included in the combustion core structure 1 according to the present invention includes, for example, the opening edge portion 4 at least partially abutting against the bottom portion of the container 8 in which the transparent combustion agent 9 is accommodated, Since it is configured to include the peripheral wall portion 5 standing upward from the opening edge portion 4, a decorative portion such as a bead or a shell attached to the peripheral wall portion 5 can be attached to the core holding member 3 in a wide range. It becomes easy to appeal high aesthetics and aesthetics to the user. Moreover, it is a case where a geometric pattern or a floral pattern expressed by forming a plurality of holes in the peripheral wall portion 5 itself or embossing a part of the surface of the peripheral wall portion 5 or the like as a decorative portion. However, it becomes possible to form a geometric pattern or the like over a wide range in an easy-to-understand manner, making it easier to appeal aesthetics to the user. Thus, the core holding member 3 included in the combustion core structure 1 according to the present invention can easily impart high aesthetics. In addition, since the conventional core holding member 3 has a pipe-shaped fixing portion having substantially the same diameter as the combustion core 2, there is a limit to the number of beads or the like attached to the surface of the pipe-shaped fixing portion, High aesthetics cannot be appealed to the user, and it is extremely difficult to form a geometric pattern on the surface of the pipe-shaped fixed part. Even if the geometric pattern can be expressed, it is extremely small. The user cannot recognize the geometric pattern.

  Moreover, since the opening holding | maintenance edge part 4 is comprised so that the opening edge part 4 may contact | abut the bottom part of the container 8, the core holding member 3 which the combustion core structure 1 which concerns on this invention has, for example, ignites the candle 10 and its Even if the use is continued and the lead holding member 3 is exposed to the surface of the combustor 9, the heat of the fire of the candle 10 is transmitted to the lead holding member 3 and the temperature of the bottom surface of the container 8 is increased. High temperature can be effectively prevented. Since the conventional core holding member 3 is configured to have a plate member placed on the bottom of the container 8, the contact area with the bottom of the container 8 is large, and the core is held on the surface of the combustor 9. When the member 3 (pipe-like fixing part) is exposed, the heat of the fire of the candle 10 is transmitted to the plate member through the pipe-like fixing part, and the temperature of the bottom surface of the container 8 is wide. It will be high. Thus, according to the combustion core structure 1 which concerns on this invention, it can suppress effectively that the temperature of the bottom face of the container 8 in which the combustion agent 9 is accommodated becomes high temperature.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the opening edge portion 4 is configured to have a protruding portion 41 that protrudes downward (in the direction opposite to the ceiling portion 6), the opening edge portion 4 and the bottom portion of the container 8. For example, when the candle 10 is ignited and used continuously, the core holding member 3 is exposed on the surface of the combustion agent 9. In addition, it is possible to more effectively prevent the heat of the fire of the candle 10 from being transmitted to the core holding member 3 and the temperature of the bottom surface of the container 8 to be high.

  In addition, the candle 10 is poured, for example, into the container 8 with the liquid combustion agent 9 while placing the core holding member 3 of the combustion core structure 1 at a predetermined location (usually the center) inside the container 8. In the case where the opening edge portion 4 is configured to have a protruding portion 41 protruding downward (in the direction opposite to the ceiling portion 6), the gap between the protruding portions 41 and the container Through the communicating portion formed between the bottom portion of the liquid 8, the liquid combustion agent 9 can rapidly enter the inner region surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6 of the core holding member 3, The workability of manufacturing the candle 10 can be improved.

  In addition, the combustion core structure 1 according to the present invention is configured so that it can be assembled through the combustion core 2 with the stopper member 21 in the through hole 7 formed in the upper part of the core holding member 3. When the user himself / herself manufactures the candle 10, it is possible to freely select the core holding member 3 having the decoration portion according to his / her preference and to manufacture the original candle 10, which is great for manufacturing the candle 10. Fun and joy can be added.

  In addition, the combustion core structure 1 according to the present invention is configured so that it can be assembled through the combustion core 2 with the stopper member 21 in the through hole 7 formed in the upper part of the core holding member 3. When the combustion agent 9 in the container 8 is exhausted as the use of 10 is continued, the core holding member 3 is reused by removing the used combustion core 2 with the stopper member 21 from the combustion core structure 1. It becomes possible.

  The combustion core structure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the specific configuration of the combustion core structure 1 is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as the stopper member 21 provided at one end of the combustion core 2, for example, the conventional plate member 105 shown in FIG. 6 and the one end of the combustion core 103 standing up in the center of the plate member 105 are inserted. The combustion core structure 1 may be configured using a washer 104 having a pipe-shaped fixing portion 106.

  When the washer 104 is used as the stopper member 21, the plate member 105 is accommodated in the inner region of the core holding member 3 (the inner region surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6), and the plate member 105 is externally provided. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, at least a part of the opening edge portion 4 of the core holding member 3 abuts on the plate member 105 of the washer 104. As described above, the combustion core structure 1 may be configured to create the candle 10. Even in such a case, by forming the decorative portion on at least one of the peripheral wall portion 5 and the ceiling portion 6 of the core holding member 3, the combustion core structure 1 and the candle 10 having excellent aesthetics can be easily obtained. It becomes possible to produce.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the candle 10 is comprised so that the bottomed container 8, the combustion agent 9 accommodated in the said container 8, and the combustion core structure 1 may be comprised, for example, A structure in which the structure composed of the combustion agent 9 and the combustion core structure 1 is taken out from the container 8 may be configured as a candle (candleless candle).
