【考案の詳細な説明】 本考案は、ローソク立てに立てたローソクが燃
え尽きるまで燃焼炎を確実に覆つて引火作用で火
災を起すのを未然に防止するためのローソク立て
の安全器に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a safety device for a candle holder that reliably covers the combustion flame of a candle placed in the candle holder until it burns out to prevent a fire from occurring due to ignition.

従来、仏壇や祭壇等に供えるローソクは、一般
に燃焼炎を何等覆うことなくむき出し状態のまま
ローソク立てに挿し込んで燃焼させることで必要
な燈火を得ていたものである。 Conventionally, candles offered on Buddhist altars, altars, etc. were generally placed in a candle holder with the burning flame exposed without covering it in any way, and the necessary light was obtained by burning it.

ところで仏壇や祭壇等には燃焼しやすい飾物が
多く設けられている許りか、古くから他人より贈
られた香典袋、賞状その他の紙製品を仏壇や祭壇
等にお供えする習性がある。 By the way, perhaps because Buddhist altars and altars are often equipped with ornaments that are easily combustible, there has been a tradition since ancient times of offering incense bags, certificates of merit, and other paper products given by others to Buddhist altars and altars.

したがつて、燈火継続中において風やその他の
原因等により、これ等飾物や紙製品等が燃焼炎の
引火作用で燃焼され、思わぬ火災を起す事故が絶
えない欠点があり、これが解決を強く望まれてい
たものである。 Therefore, while the lights are on, wind and other causes cause these decorations and paper products to burn due to the ignition effect of the combustion flame, resulting in the constant occurrence of unexpected fires. It was what was desired.

て説明する。 In view of the above, the present invention is designed to fit onto the upper side of a candle stand, which is installed at the bottom of an inverted conical hollow cover with an open upper part, an ignition window in the peripheral wall, and a combustion chamber inside. A removably removable fitting bimetal is provided, and the upper open part of the hollow cover is covered with a removable cover plate to ensure that the flame burning on the candlestick is covered to prevent fires caused by ignition. Not only does it prevent this from happening, but the hollow cover for covering the candle's combustion flame automatically follows the candle as the candle burns, using a fitted bimetal that expands due to the heating effect of the candle's combustion heat. The candle can be lowered in sequence to cover the combustion flame until it is completely burned out, and the inner surface of the hollow cover and the cover plate can be cleaned easily to prevent the light transmittance from being reduced due to adhesion of soot, etc. The purpose of this invention is to provide a safety device for candlesticks that can prevent accidents from occurring, and the following describes a preferred embodiment of the structure of the safety device for candlesticks according to the present invention as shown in the attached drawings. .

……が穿孔されている。 In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a candle holder in which a wax tray 3 is integrally provided on the upper part of a base 2, and a projection 4 for a candle holder is erected at the center of the inner surface of the wax tray 3. The candle 5 is removed and inserted freely to stand upright. Reference numeral 6 denotes a hollow cover body which is removably fitted to the upper side of the upright candle 5, and the hollow cover body 6 is made entirely of a heat-resistant and highly translucent material and has an open upper part 8. It is formed into an inverted conical hollow shape, with the inside serving as a combustion chamber 7, and an ignition window 10 of an appropriate size is opened in the middle of the peripheral wall 9 of the hollow cover 6, and the opening position of the ignition window 10 is A large number of primary air circulation holes 11 are provided on the circumferential surface of the lower peripheral wall 9.
... is perforated.

になつている。 At the lower open part 8' of the hollow cover 6, that is, at the position where it is removably fitted into the upper part of the candle 5,
A split cylindrical fitting bimetal 12 is fitted, and when the fitting bimetal 12 is heated to a predetermined temperature or higher by the combustion heat of the candle 5, it expands outward and the hollow cover 6 closes the candle due to its own weight. 5, and when not heated above a predetermined temperature, the fitting bimetal 12 contracts.
It is adapted to be fitted and locked onto the upper side of the candle 5.

中空覆体６の上部開放８側には耐熱性、透光性
に富んだ材料で作られた蓋板１３が取外し自在に
被蓋されている。 A lid plate 13 made of a material with high heat resistance and translucency is removably covered on the upper open 8 side of the hollow cover 6.

次に本考案の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

ることなくローソク５上に位置される。 To use it, first, the base end of the candle 5 is inserted into the protrusion 4 of the candle holder 1 to stand up. Next, a fitting bimetal 1 provided at the lower part of the hollow cover 6 is placed on the upper side of the candle 5 which is erected.
2, the hollow cover 6 is well fitted with the contracted fitting bimetal 12 and is positioned on the candle 5 without being tilted to the left or right.

しめると共に、その燃焼炎は中空覆体６により確
実に覆われているので引火作用による火災の心配
もなく燈火作用を継続させることができる。 When the hollow cover 6 is fitted to the upper part of the candle 5 in this way, the upper open 8 side of the hollow cover 6 is covered with the cover plate 13, and a spark is inserted through the ignition window 10 to light the candle. 5, the candle 5 has an ignition window 10 and a number of primary air circulation holes 11.
...... By replenishing the primary air introduced from the combustion chamber 7.
Since the combustion flame is well covered by the hollow cover 6, the lighting operation can be continued without fear of fire due to ignition.

動的に下降し、自然除冷作用で直ちに収縮して嵌
合度合を高め停止される。 As the candle 5 continues to burn and the burning position approaches the fitting bimetal 12, the fitting bimetal 12 expands outward due to the heating effect of the combustion heat, and the fitting diameter of the fitting bimetal 12 increases. , the hollow cover 6 automatically descends along the candle 5 due to its own weight, immediately shrinks due to the natural slow cooling effect, increases the degree of fitting, and then stops.

燈火を行なうことができる。 Therefore, as the candle 5 burns, the hollow cover 6 is moved downward by the expansion and contraction of the fitted bimetal 12 without extinguishing the combustion flame. By covering the combustion flame with the hollow cover 6, the lighting effect can be performed safely. If the inner surfaces of the hollow cover 6 and cover plate 13 become soiled with soot or the like due to long-term use, immediately remove the cover plate 13 and clean the inner surfaces of the hollow cover 6 and cover plate 13. In addition, if the outside surface is also cleaned, proper light transmission can be maintained at all times and good lighting can be achieved.

奏する。 In short, the present invention consists of a candle 5 which has an open upper part 8, an ignition window 10 in the peripheral wall 9, and a candle holder 1 erected in the lower part of the inverted conical hollow cover 6 with the combustion chamber 7 inside. A fitting bimetal 12 that can be fitted in and out of the upper side is provided, and the upper opening part 8 of the hollow cover 6 is provided with a cover plate 13 that is detachable.
Since it is covered with a hollow cover 6, even if the candle 5 is burned to provide light on a Buddhist altar or altar, the combustion flame can be reliably covered by the hollow cover 6, preventing fires from occurring due to ignition. Not only can a good lighting effect be maintained without any problems, but also the hollow cover 6
As the candle 5 burns, the bimetal 12 heats up and the bimetal 12 expands, and the bimetal 12 gradually cools down and falls under its own weight, allowing the candle 5 to continue burning until the end. It is possible to further improve safety by covering the combustion flame with the hollow cover 6 until it burns out. The lid plate 13 can be immediately removed and cleaned easily, and an appropriate light transmittance can always be obtained.
