Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is an apparatus for use with incense. Background Technology

[0002] We have developed incense in various shapes, including stick incense, cone-shaped, spiral-shaped, and bamboo stick-shaped. Lighting the incense and enjoying the smoke is the way to appreciate incense.

[0003] In the past, incense holders, incense trays, incense burners, etc., were used when incense was burned. Moreover, recently, devices for enjoying the flow of smoke, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, as well as Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, have been developed.

[0004] The incense lighting device (1) described in Patent Document 1 (the markings in parentheses are for prior art documents. The same applies below.) is a device having the following structure: a transparent or semi-transparent main body (4) that can accommodate an incense burner; an upper vent (3) and a lower vent (6) provided on the upper and lower parts of the main body (4); and an illumination part (2) provided on the upper part. The illumination part (2) can illuminate the interior of the main body (4) from above and below.

[0005] The smoke drawing device (1) described in Patent Document 2 is a device having the following structure: a mounting member (3) for mounting a smoke generating member (9); an upper container (5) disposed on the upper part of the mounting member (3) and receiving the smoke generated and rising by the smoke generating member (9) inside; and a lower container (7) having light transmission and disposed on the lower part of the mounting member (3). The smoke drawing device (1) is a device that draws irregular patterns by circulating the smoke received by the upper container (5) and falling through the through hole (3a) of the mounting member (3) inside the lower container (7).

[0006] The device described in Non-Patent Document 1 is a device in which incense sticks are suspended inside a transparent cylindrical body, and light is shone from the lower part of the body so that the flow of smoke inside the body can be observed.

[0007] The apparatus described in Non-Patent Document 2 is similar to the device described in Patent Document 2, and has the following structure: a plate is placed on a transparent cylindrical body at the bottom, a stick-shaped incense stick is placed on the plate and lit, and a translucent upper glass is placed over the plate. This creates a structure where the smoke from the incense slowly falls onto the lower body. Because a lighting section is provided at the bottom of the body, the movement of the smoke within the body can be appreciated.

[0008] Existing technical documents Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 7283814 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 7270115 Non-patent literature Non-patent document 1: Wadiz, Internet, searched November 24, 2023, <URL: https: / / www.wadiz.kr / web / campaign / detail / 168622> Non-patent document 2: Yukage, Internet, searched November 24, 2023, <URL: https: / / yukage.com / pages / how-to> Summary of the Invention

[0009] The problem that the invention aims to solve Previously, there had never been a device that could accumulate the smoke produced by incense and slowly release it into space.

[0010] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an appliance that can accumulate smoke generated from incense and slowly release it into space, thereby allowing one to comfortably enjoy incense.

[0011] Here, the differences between the present invention and the inventions described in prior art documents will be explained.

[0012] The incense lighting device (1) described in Patent Document 1 generates smoke inside the main body (4), and the smoke generated inside the main body (4) is released to the outside through the vent. An ignition point for incense is located inside the main body (4). In contrast, in this invention, the ignition point for incense is located in an unenclosed space. In this respect, this invention differs from the incense lighting device (1) described in Patent Document 1.

[0013] The smoke-drawing device (1) described in Patent Document 2 has an incense-burning ignition point between the upper container (5) and the lower container (7). On the other hand, in this invention, the incense-burning ignition point is located in an unenclosed space. In this respect, this invention differs from the smoke-drawing device (1) described in Patent Document 2.

[0014] The apparatus described in Non-Patent Document 1 has an ignition point for incense burning inside a transparent cylindrical body. In contrast, in this invention, the ignition point for incense burning is located in an unenclosed space. In this respect, this invention differs from the apparatus described in Non-Patent Document 1.

[0015] The apparatus described in Non-Patent Document 2 has an incense-burning ignition point between the lower transparent cylindrical body and the upper glass. In contrast, in this invention, the incense-burning ignition point exists in an unenclosed space. In this respect, the present invention differs from the apparatus described in Non-Patent Document 2.

[0016] Solution for solving the problem To solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features.

[0017] This invention relates to a smoke-collecting device for incense burning, comprising: a smoke-collecting section disposed above the burning incense and spaced apart from the incense; a support section supporting the smoke-collecting section; and an illumination section capable of illuminating the interior of the smoke-collecting section with light. The smoke-collecting section has an opening for drawing smoke from the incense into its interior and is transparent or semi-transparent so that the flow of smoke inside can be visually observed from the outside.

[0018] Preferably, the smoke storage section has a vent for gradually releasing the smoke accumulated in the smoke storage section into the space.

[0019] Preferably, the size of the vent opening can be adjusted.

[0020] Preferably, it also includes an incense setting part, which serves as the base of the support part and functions as an incense holder, incense tray, or incense burner, or can hold an incense holder, incense tray, or incense burner.

[0021] Preferably, the smoke-collecting part is transparent or semi-transparent.

[0022] In addition, the smoke storage section can also have multiple smoke storage sections stacked one on top of the other.

[0023] Invention Effects The smoke from the incense burner passes through the opening of the smoke storage section and accumulates there. The accumulated smoke is then gradually released into the space.

[0024] If light is shone into the interior of the smoke-collecting section, a beauty unlike anything seen before can be obtained.

[0025] By providing a vent, the smoke accumulated in the smoke collection chamber can be gradually released into the space. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the vent opening, the amount of smoke released into the space can be adjusted.

[0026] By also providing an incense-burning setting section, the smoke-collecting section can be stabilized, and it can also be used as a setting for incense holders, etc.

[0027] If the smoke collection area is made transparent or semi-transparent, the accumulated smoke can be visually identified.

[0028] These and other objects, features, aspects, and effects of the present invention will become further clear from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Figure 8 This is a front view showing the structure of the smoke storage device 1 when the support column 4 is set as a rectangle. Detailed Implementation

[0037] (First Implementation) exist Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the incense smoke storage device 1 includes an incense setting part 2, a smoke storage part 3, a support part 4, and a lighting part 5.

[0038] The incense burner unit 2 serves as the base for the support unit 4 and is a component capable of holding incense holders, incense trays, or incense burners, etc., used for burning incense. Furthermore, the incense burner unit 2 itself can also function as an incense holder, incense tray, or incense burner. It should be noted that the material and shape of the incense burner unit 2 are not limited to those shown in the illustrations. The incense placed in the incense burner unit 2 receives oxygen from the space 7 and is ignited, producing smoke.

[0039] The smoke-collecting section 3 is transparent, semi-transparent, or opaque, and has an opening 3a at the bottom. The smoke-collecting section 3 shown in the illustration is a transparent cylinder with an opening 3a at the bottom, but the material, shape, etc., are not limited to those shown. The smoke-collecting section 3 has at least one vent 3b at the top.

[0040] The smoke storage unit 3 has an LED or other lighting unit 5 on its upper part. It should be noted that the power supply and circuitry for driving the lighting unit 5 can be built into the upper part of the smoke storage unit 3a, the support unit 4, or the incense burner unit 2; this is not a limitation of the invention. Alternatively, the power supply can be external to the smoke storage device 1.

[0041] The support part 4 is a component used to support the smoke storage part 3. The smoke storage part 3 is provided away from the incense burning part 2 in such a way that a space 7 is created between it and the incense burning part 2. The support part 4 is connected to the incense burning part 2.

[0042] It should be noted that since the incense obtains oxygen from the space 7, it can continue to burn even if the smoke storage section 3 is not equipped with a vent 3b. Therefore, even without a vent 3b, the smoke can be stored in the smoke storage section 3.

[0043] It should be noted that the vent 3b can also be set to open or close, so that the size of the vent can be adjusted.

[0044] Furthermore, even without illuminating the smoke, the smoke can be stored in the smoke storage section 3, so the lighting section 5 is not required.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in the smoke-collecting device 1 constructed as described above, when incense 6 is burned, the smoke rises, passes through the opening 3a, and enters the smoke-collecting section 3, thus accumulating in the smoke-collecting section 3. Figure 2 As shown, if the lighting unit 5 shines light from above, one can appreciate the flow and accumulation of smoke, enjoying a beauty never before seen. The smoke accumulated in the smoke storage unit 3 is gradually released into the space through the opening 3a and the vent 3b, allowing one to comfortably enjoy the incense.

[0046] If the size of the vent 3b can be adjusted, the amount of smoke emitted can be adjusted.

[0047] (Second Implementation) exist Figure 3 In the second embodiment, the smoke storage device 1 is configured such that a lighting unit 5 is provided at the lower part of the smoke storage section 3. Everything else is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0048] If the lighting unit 5 is composed only of LEDs, it can be miniaturized. Therefore, for example, the lighting unit 5 can be mounted on a rod such as one that spans a portion of the opening 3a. Wiring and the like should preferably be concealed appropriately with decorative components.

[0049] According to this second embodiment, light can be shone from bottom to top, thus providing a smoke storage device 1 that can accumulate smoke while observing the flow of smoke.

[0050] (Third implementation method) exist Figure 4 In the third embodiment, the smoke storage device 1 is configured to have a lighting unit 5 on the side of the smoke storage section 3. Everything else is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0051] If the lighting unit 5 is composed only of LEDs, it can be miniaturized. Therefore, for example, the lighting unit 5 can be mounted on the side of the smoke storage unit 3. Wiring and other components should be appropriately concealed using decorative components.

[0052] According to this third embodiment, light can be irradiated laterally, thus providing a smoke storage device 1 that can accumulate smoke while observing the flow of smoke.

[0053] Alternatively, the lighting unit 5 may not be located in the smoke storage unit 3, but rather in the incense setting unit 2, the support unit 4, or other suitable locations. In other words, the lighting unit 5 can be installed wherever it can illuminate the smoke.

[0054] (Fourth Implementation) Alternatively, one may consider using a preferred structure as an incense holder, incense tray, or incense burner. In this case, it is preferable to use a preferred incense holder or the like in the incense setting unit 2 of the first to third embodiments.

[0055] Furthermore, as in the fourth embodiment, it is also possible to consider not placing the incense burner 2 on the smoke storage device 1, but instead using a preferred incense holder 8 or the like, on which the smoke storage device 3 is placed. Figure 4 That kind of composition.

[0056] In this case, in order to prevent the smoke storage part 3 from tipping over, a base 4a can be formed in the support part 4, but the specific shape and structure can be designed appropriately.

[0057] It should be noted that the smoke-collecting part 3 of the smoke-collecting device 1 in the fourth embodiment does not have a lighting part or a vent. Furthermore, a spherical structure is used for the shape of the smoke-collecting part 3, but this is merely an example and does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0058] In the first to fourth embodiments described above, since the oxygen supply to the incense is not blocked, the combustion of the incense can be carried out more effectively compared to the conventional technology exemplified at the beginning. Because of the presence of space 7, some smoke leakage from this part does occur, but most of the smoke is temporarily accumulated in the smoke storage section 3 by the rising airflow. Furthermore, if the structure includes an opening 3a and a vent 3b, smoke is gradually released into the space from the vent 3b.

[0059] If the configuration of the lighting unit 5 is adopted, and light is shone on the smoke storage unit 3, one can enjoy a beauty that has never been seen before.

[0060] It should be noted that the shape of incense is not limited to stick incense; it can also be any shape such as cone, spiral, or bamboo stick.

[0061] use Figures 6-8 Other variations will be explained.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, a smoke-collecting device 1 can also be constructed by stacking two smoke-collecting sections 3 vertically. This structure allows for the accumulation of smoke both vertically, resulting in a new aesthetic appeal.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, multiple support columns 4 can be used to construct the smoke storage device 1. This increases stability and improves design flexibility. It should be noted that more than three smoke storage sections 3 can be arranged vertically or horizontally.

[0064] like Figure 8 As shown, the support column 4 can also be made into a rectangle to form the smoke storage device 1. This increases stability and improves design.

[0065] In addition, the vent 3b can be a sliding opening and closing type, a sliding opening and closing type, or a rotating opening and closing type, as long as the size of the opening can be adjusted.

[0066] In these variations, a vent may not be required.

[0067] The present invention has been described in detail above, but the above description is merely illustrative in all respects and is not intended to limit its scope. Various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Each constituent element of the invention disclosed in this specification is an independent invention. Inventions obtained by combining the constituent elements in any combination method are also included in this invention. The specific representations in this specification are always exemplary, and this invention also includes the conceptualization of such exemplary representations.

[0068] Industrial availability This invention is a smoke storage device that can be used in industry.
