Combustion body which produces a multi-colored flame

Abstract

A cylindrically shaped combustion body of several metals or compounds like alkaline, metal or copper, which when burned produce multi-colored flames without a wick or liquid contents, and holds the flame in a stable position. As the cylindrically shape combustion body burns up, a spring mechanism pushes it upward through a tube, and a claw-like restraining device at the top of the tube keeps the combustion body from emerging out of the tube. Thus, the tip of the combustion body is held just above the rim of the tube, and the flame remains in a constant position, even as the combustion body burns shorter.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to a wickless cylindrically shaped combustion body which contains alkaline metal, alkaline earth metal, and copper, which when burned produce multi-colored flames. [0003] 2. Discussion of the Prior Art [0004] It is known in the prior art to present a combustion body or candle having a metallic compound mixed with wax such that when the candle burns a vivid colored light is emitted. Typically, lithium or copper can be used with the wax to produce this effect. These candles can be placed on a table or the like. A problem arose, however, in that the candle burned too fast. The entire top face of the candle would burn and in a short time the desirable effect from its unusual light was finished. This problem is common to wickless combustion bodies or candles. The present invention teaches a means to burn a cylindrically shaped wickless combustion body including the metallic compound, which presents...

Benefits of technology

[0005] The present invention has a combustion control ring that has a claw-like restraining device that expands internally in the top part of the combustion body. The flame in the combustion body is prevented from spreading sideways.

[0008] The cylinder shape combustion body can be burnt to the last minute with the tube in hand, and if the tube is fixed in a stand, the coloring flame will keep burning in a constant position. Burning ash is prevented from dispersing by installing an ash receiver on the upper side part of the tube. Heat in the upper part of the tube can also be dissipated by the ash receiver. To burn the combustion body by the method above-mentioned, it is necessary to insert the combustion body in the tube with the top part of the combustion body stopped with the claw-like restraining device in the upper part of the tube and the bottom of the combustion body pushed with a spring. Therefore, it should have the structure that either the claw-like restraining device or the spring of the tube can be detached. The former is a structure to compose the tube of a main body and detachable cap, and to install claw-like restraining device in the cap. Alternatively, the base can be made detachable.

[0009] The structure at the present invention makes burning possible when holding the apparatus or at a high position on a table by lengthening the tube, and installing the spring base in the middle part. Moreover, when the tube is not long, the spring base can be installed in the bottom of the tube. When the tube is installed on a stand, the upper surface of the stand can be used as the spring base. In this case, the tube is prevented from coming off the stand to the surface by a slot and projection in the tube.

Problems solved by technology

Even if the combustion body shortens, the combustion body is always pushed upward on the device by the spring installed in the bottom, and can burn with the claw-like restraining device in the top of the device while always staying in the top of the tube.
