[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an incense burner in which fragrant materials are placed in an internal space and incense smoke is emitted from a plurality of incense holes, and a method for manufacturing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Incense burners are generally used to heat incense materials and release their aromatic components. Typically, incense burners are often recognized as Buddhist implements, but there are also many incense burners for enjoying the smoke and aroma of incense materials. In particular, the latter incense burners come in a variety of forms and functions for the highly personal act of burning incense.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an incense burner in which a cylindrical incense burner body has multiple air passages arranged along the cylindrical direction. With this configuration, incense smoke is emitted from the air passages corresponding to the burning position of the incense material, so that the approximate progress of the burning of the incense material can be grasped from the outside based on the position of the air passage from which the incense smoke is emitted.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses an incense burner in which multiple boundary walls are provided along the longitudinal direction inside a horizontally elongated shape, and incense smoke holes are formed in the ceiling between each boundary wall. With this configuration, incense smoke is released from the incense smoke holes corresponding to the burning position of the incense material, so that the progress of the burning of the incense material can be grasped from the outside. In addition, the boundary walls suppress the diffusion of the incense smoke inside the incense burner, and the incense smoke holes from which the incense smoke is released are limited, so that the progress of the burning of the incense material can be grasped more accurately. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-193022 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-137109 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The above-mentioned incense burners are all formed with a pointed top in the cross section in the short direction of the incense burner. Generally, smoke (including incense smoke) has the property of diffusing as it rises, but these incense burners have a pointed shape, which guides the incense smoke rising from the incense material along the pointed shape, suppressing the diffusion of the incense smoke while collecting the incense smoke to increase its concentration (smoke collection effect), and improving the visibility of the incense smoke released outside the incense burner. However, the above-mentioned incense burner has a problem in that the shape of the incense burner is limited to a pointed shape in order to accurately grasp the progress of the burning of the incense material, and it is not possible to provide incense burners of various shapes.

[0007] Under such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an incense burner that has a function of allowing the progress of incense burning to be monitored from the outside, while improving the freedom of shape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] As a result of intensive research aimed at solving the above problems, the present inventors discovered that the following invention meets the above object, and thus completed the present invention.

[0009] That is, the present invention relates to the following inventions. <1> A horizontally shaped incense burner in which incense material is placed in an internal space and incense smoke is released from a number of incense holes, the incense burner comprising an incense burner stand and a lid body that is placed on the incense burner stand, the internal space being formed when the lid body is placed on the incense burner stand, the number of incense holes being formed along the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the lid body, and in the internal space of the incense burner, a smoke collection wall is provided on the ceiling surface of the upper surface of the lid body between each of the number of incense holes, the smoke collection wall having an inclined portion that is inclined so as to collect incense smoke. <2> The inclined portion is connected to the incense hole. <1> The incense burner described in. <3> The cross-sectional shape of the incense burner in the short direction is rectangular. <1> or <2> The incense burner described in. <4> An incense material holding hole for holding the incense material substantially horizontally is provided on the end surface of the incense burner. <1> from <3> 13. The incense burner according to any one of the preceding claims. <5> The incense burner has an ash collection section at the bottom. <1> from <4> 13. The incense burner according to any one of the preceding claims. <6> The incense burner stand and the lid are flame retardant. <1> from <5> 13. The incense burner according to any one of the preceding claims. <7> <1> from <6> 13. A method for manufacturing an incense burner according to any one of claims 1 to 12, wherein the lid and the incense burner stand are manufactured by casting.

[0010] In other words, the incense burner of the present invention is a horizontally shaped incense burner in which incense material is placed in the internal space and incense smoke is released from a plurality of incense smoke holes, the incense burner comprising an incense burner stand and a lid body that is placed on the incense burner stand, the lid body having an internal space formed when the lid body is placed on the incense burner stand, the plurality of incense smoke holes being formed along the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the lid body, and in the internal space of the incense burner, a smoke collection wall is provided on the ceiling surface of the upper surface of the lid body between each of the plurality of incense smoke holes, and the smoke collection wall has an inclined portion that is inclined so as to collect the incense smoke.

[0011] According to this configuration, the fragrant material is arranged in the interior space of the oblong incense burner along the longitudinal direction, and incense smoke is generated when the fragrant material is burned. The incense smoke generated from the fragrant material is released to the outside of the incense burner from a plurality of incense smoke holes formed along the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the incense burner and connecting the interior space of the incense burner to the outside. The position from which the incense smoke is generated moves as the fragrant material burns, and the incense smoke hole from which the incense smoke is released changes with the movement of the position from which the incense smoke is generated. Therefore, the progress of the combustion of the fragrant material can be grasped by the position of the incense smoke hole from which the incense smoke is released.

[0012] In this case, even if the incense burner is not made pointed to collect the incense smoke, the incense smoke can be collected in the internal space of the incense burner while rising along the inclined part of the smoke collection wall provided on the ceiling surface of the upper surface of the lid (smoke collection effect). The collected incense smoke is more visible when it is released from the incense smoke hole. In other words, the incense burner of the present invention can increase the visibility of the incense smoke when it is released to the outside without having to be made pointed, and it can be made into a shape other than a pointed shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the shape of the incense burner of the present invention is arbitrary as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the incense burner in the short side direction can be selected from square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse, triangle, polygon, etc., and the optimal shape can be appropriately selected from the viewpoints of design, design, production, etc. One suitable shape of the cross-sectional shape of the incense burner in the short side direction of the present invention is a rectangle (including a square). The longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the incense burner is a cylindrical shape. The longitudinal cross-sectional shape (outer shape) of the incense burner can be selected from square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse, triangle, polygon, etc., and the optimal shape can be appropriately selected from the viewpoints of design, design, production, etc. A suitable shape of the longitudinal cross-section of the incense burner of the present invention is a rectangle (including a square).

[0014] In the internal space of the incense burner of the present invention, a smoke collection wall according to the present invention is provided on the ceiling surface of the upper surface part of the lid body between each of the plurality of incense holes. The smoke collecting wall according to the present invention is provided in the internal space of the incense burner, the longitudinal cross section of which is formed into a downward convex shape, extends in the short direction of the incense burner, and is connected to two side portions of the incense burner. By providing the smoke collecting wall in this manner, a part of the internal space of the incense burner is surrounded by the smoke collecting wall, forming a smoke collecting space that collects incense smoke.

[0015] In addition, the smoke collection wall according to the present invention has an inclined portion that provides a smoke collection effect, but it may have any shape as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention, and may be formed from multiple inclined portions.

[0016] Furthermore, in the incense burner of the present invention, the inclined portion may or may not be connected to the incense hole as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired, but it is preferable that the inclined portion is connected to the incense hole. By connecting the incline portion to the incense hole, the smoke collection space is narrowed and the concentration of the incense smoke can be increased. Also, the incense smoke is led directly to the incense hole along the incline portion while increasing its concentration, and the incense smoke can be smoothly released to the outside.

[0017] The incense burner of the present invention may be manufactured by any manufacturing method as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention, and may be manufactured by casting, for example. Specifically, the lid and the incense burner stand of the incense burner of the present invention may be manufactured by casting, or only the lid or only the incense burner stand may be manufactured by casting. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, an incense burner is provided which has a function of allowing the progress of incense burning to be monitored from outside, while improving the freedom of shape. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an incense burner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is composed of an incense burner stand 3 and a lid 2 that is placed on the incense burner stand 3. The incense burner according to the present invention may include elements other than the lid and the incense burner stand as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. When the lid 2 is placed on the incense burner stand 3, an internal space 4 is formed in the incense burner 1 (see FIG. 9).

[0023] The incense burner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a substantially square cross section in the short side direction as shown in FIG. 10, and has an outer shape that is horizontally elongated and rectangular parallelepiped as shown in FIGS. The incense burner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a length L of 16 cm, a height H of 5 cm, and a depth D of 5 cm (see Figs. 3 and 7).

[0024] The external dimensions of the incense burner of the present invention are arbitrary and may be designed appropriately taking into consideration the design of the incense burner and the length of the incense material. In addition, the short-side cross-sectional shape of the incense burner in the embodiment of the present invention is rectangular (approximately square), but the shape of the incense burner of the present invention may be any shape as long as it does not impair the objective of the present invention, and the short-side cross-sectional shape of the incense burner of the present invention may be, for example, a square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse, triangle, or polygon. In addition, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the incense burner in the embodiment of the present invention forms a cylindrical shape and its shape (outer shape) is rectangular, but the outer shape of the incense burner of the present invention may be any shape as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the incense burner of the present invention may be, for example, a square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse, triangle, or polygon.

[0025] The cover 2 and the incense burner stand 3 that constitute the incense burner 1 are made of an aluminum alloy. The incense burner 1 of this embodiment is manufactured by a known aluminum casting method. The aluminum alloy is flame retardant and can prevent the incense burner from spreading. Furthermore, the material of the lid and incense burner stand of the present invention can be selected from any flame-retardant material, for example, metal, flame-retardant resin, pottery, porcelain, or any combination of these. Furthermore, the incense burner (lid and incense burner stand) according to the present invention can be manufactured by casting as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the incense burner stand 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed of a bottom surface portion 31 and an end surface portion 32 provided upright on a short side of the bottom surface portion 31.

[0027] An incense material holding hole 33 is provided in the center of the end surface 32 of the incense burner stand 3 (see Figs. 2 and 8). The incense material holding hole 33 can hold the incense material 5 substantially horizontally, that is, horizontally or slightly inclined relative to the horizontal. The incense material holding hole according to the present invention may be provided at any position on the end surface as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention.

[0028] The incense material used in the incense burner of the present invention may be any material that produces smoke when burned and can be placed in the inner space of the incense burner. For example, there are stick-shaped incense materials (incense sticks), spiral-shaped incense materials (mosquito coils), powder-shaped incense materials, etc., and stick-shaped incense materials are preferred.

[0029] Additionally, the fragrance material holding hole 33 is inclined so that the end of the fragrance material 5 held in the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1 faces upward. The angle between the fragrance material holding hole 33 and the horizontal plane is 5° (see Figs. 9 and 17).

[0030] In this embodiment, the fragrance material holding hole 33 is formed as a through hole penetrating the end surface portion 32, but the fragrance material holding hole according to the present invention does not have to be a through hole as long as it can hold a fragrance material. In consideration of the stability when the fragrance is held and the removal of unburned fragrance (residue), it is preferable that the fragrance holding hole according to the present invention is formed as a through hole.

[0031] The incense burner 1 has an ash collecting section 34 for collecting ashes of incense materials on the bottom surface 31 of the incense burner stand 3. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 10, in this embodiment, the ash collecting section 34 is formed on the bottom surface 31 of the incense burner stand 3 so that the short-side cross section has a concave shape (arc shape).

[0032] The lid body 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed of an upper surface portion 21, side surface portions 22 and 23 connected to the long sides of the upper surface portion 21, and an end surface portion 24 connected to the short side of the upper surface portion 21 (see Figures 2 and 3).

[0033] As shown in Fig. 4, five incense holes 211 are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in Fig. 4) in the center of the short side (up-down direction in Fig. 4) of the top surface 21 of the lid body 2. The hole diameter of the incense holes 211 is 3 mm. In addition, in the incense burner according to the present invention, the shape, number and size of the incense smoke holes can be set arbitrarily as long as the progress of combustion of the incense material can be monitored from the outside.

[0034] Additionally, five numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 from the side closest to the end surface 32 where the aromatic material 5 is held) are marked on the side surface 22 corresponding to the incense holes 211 provided on the top surface 21. By checking the numbers corresponding to the incense holes 211 from which the incense smoke 51 is released, the remaining amount of aromatic material 5 can be ascertained (see FIG. 3).

[0035] Furthermore, eight air intakes 231 of the same size and shape are provided at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction on the side surface 23. Air can be taken in from the outside of the incense burner 1 into the internal space 4 through the air intakes 231, and the fragrant material 5 can be stably burned to stably generate incense smoke 51 (see FIG. 6). Note that the shape, number, and size of the air intakes of the incense burner according to the present invention can be arbitrarily set as long as the fragrant material can be burned to stably generate incense smoke.

[0036] 9, in the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1, smoke collection walls 212a, 212b, 212c, 212d, 212e, and 212f are provided on the ceiling surface of the upper surface 21 of the lid body 2 from the side closer to the end surface 24. Of these smoke collection walls, the smoke collection walls 212b, 212c, 212d, and 212e are provided between the multiple incense holes 211 formed in the upper surface 21 of the lid body 2, respectively.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 11, the smoke collecting wall 212 according to this embodiment has an inclined portion 213. The inclined portions 213 of the smoke collecting walls 212a-212e according to this embodiment have an angle (inclination angle) of 24° with respect to the horizontal plane, and the inclined portion 213 of the smoke collecting wall 212f has an inclination angle of 47° (see FIG. 9). The inclination angle of the inclined portion according to this embodiment can be set arbitrarily depending on the shape and size of the incense burner according to this embodiment and the shape, size and material of the incense material, and can be any angle as long as it can collect incense smoke. For example, the inclination angle of the inclined portion according to this embodiment can be set to 10 to 80°, or 20 to 60°. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the smoke collection walls 212 (excluding the smoke collection walls 212a) have vertical portions 214, which are perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0038] Although the inclined portion 213 is formed as a straight line in the longitudinal cross section of the incense burner, the inclined portion 213 may be a curved line (circular arc) or a broken line (stepped rectangle) as long as it has a smoke collecting effect, as shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13. The inclined portion 213 may also be a curved line, a broken line, a wavy line, a rectangle, an arc, or a combination of these (not shown). Moreover, as shown in FIG. 14, the smoke collection wall 212 may be composed of two inclined portions 213.

[0039] In addition, the smoke collection wall 212 is formed in the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1 so that the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the incense burner is convex downwardly, extends in the same convex shape in the short direction of the incense burner, and is connected to the side portion 22 and the side portion 23 (see Figure 16). As shown in FIG. 9, the smoke collecting wall 212 surrounds a part of the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1 to form a smoke collecting space 41.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, the inclined portion 213 is connected to the incense hole 211 . Furthermore, as long as the objective of the present invention is not impaired, the inclined portion 213 does not have to be connected to the incense hole 211 as shown in FIG. 15 (the inclined portion 213 may be connected to a non-inclined horizontal portion 215, and the horizontal portion 215 may be connected to the incense hole 211).

[0041] In addition, the vertical portion 214 of this embodiment is connected to the incense hole 211 (see Figs. 9 and 11).

[0042] An example of a method of using the incense burner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will now be described. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of the incense burner 1 when the fragrant material 5 is in the early stage of use, and FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of the incense burner 1 when the fragrant material 5 is in the final stage of use.

[0043] When using the incense burner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, first, the lid 2 is removed from the incense burner stand 3, and the incense material 5 (stick-shaped incense stick) is inserted into the incense material holding hole 33 provided in the center of the end surface portion 32 of the incense burner stand 3. Next, the tip of the incense material 5 is ignited, and the lid 2 is placed on the incense burner stand 3.

[0044] The fragrant material 5 inserted into the fragrant material-retaining hole 33 is held substantially horizontally, specifically at an inclination angle (the angle between the fragrant material-retaining hole 33 and the horizontal plane) of 5°, as shown in Fig. 17. Therefore, the fragrant material 5 can burn at the highest position (tip), and combustion is stable.

[0045] When the incense material 5 is ignited and the cover 2 is placed on the incense burner stand 3, the incense material 5 generates incense smoke 51 in the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1, as shown in Fig. 17. The generated incense smoke 51 rises and is collected in the smoke collection space 41a along the inclined portions 213 of the smoke collection walls 212a and 212b. Here, the inclined portion 213 of the smoke collection wall 212a and the smoke collection wall 212b according to this embodiment is connected to the incense smoke hole 211a, so that the smoke collection space 41a is narrowed and the incense smoke 51 can be more concentrated.

[0046] The collected incense smoke 51 is released to the outside from the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1 through the incense smoke hole 211a. Here too, the incense smoke 51 can be guided to the incense smoke hole 211a while preventing the incense smoke 51 from accumulating in the smoke collection space 41a, by the incense smoke hole 211a being connected to the incense smoke 51, and the incense smoke 51 can be smoothly released to the outside.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 17, since the incense smoke 51 is being emitted from the incense hole 211a which is the furthest from the fragrance material holding hole 33, it can be seen from outside that the combustion of the fragrance material 5 is in an early stage.

[0048] Thereafter, as the combustion of the fragrant material 5 progresses and the fragrant material 5 becomes shorter, the position where the incense smoke 51 is generated moves, and the incense smoke hole 211 from which the incense smoke 51 is emitted switches. Specifically, the incense smoke hole 211 switches in sequence from 211a to 211b, 211c, 211d, and 211e. At this time, since the smoke collecting walls 212b, 212c, 212d, and 212e are all the same size and shape, the switching of the incense smoke hole 211 from which the incense smoke 51 is emitted occurs at regular time intervals.

[0049] As the combustion of the fragrant material 5 progresses and reaches the end of its burning period, incense smoke 51 is generated from the shortened fragrant material 5 and rises, as shown in Fig. 18. The generated incense smoke 51 is collected in the smoke collection space 41e along the incense smoke hole 211e and is released from the internal space 4 of the incense burner 1 to the outside.

[0050] Here, the inclined portion 213 of the smoke collection wall 212f in this embodiment is connected to the incense smoke hole 211e, so that the smoke collection space 41e is narrowed, making it possible to further concentrate the incense smoke 51, and also to guide the incense smoke 51 to the incense smoke hole 211e while preventing the incense smoke 51 from stagnating in the smoke collection space 41e, thereby enabling the incense smoke 51 to be smoothly released to the outside.

[0051] The vertical portion 214 of the smoke collecting wall 212e according to this embodiment is connected to the incense smoke hole 211e. Therefore, the vertical portion 214 of the smoke collecting wall 212e, together with the inclined portion 213 of the smoke collecting wall 212f, contributes to the concentration of the incense smoke 51 and its smooth release to the outside. In addition, the vertical portion 214 of the smoke collecting wall 212e also has the effect of dividing the incense smoke 51 rising from below to separate the smoke.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 18, since the incense smoke 51 is emitted from the incense hole 211e which is closest to the fragrance material holding hole 33, it can be known from outside that the combustion of the fragrance material 5 is nearing the end.

[0053] As described above, in the incense burner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the progress of combustion of the fragrant material 5 can be grasped from the position of the incense smoke hole 211 through which the incense smoke 51 generated in the internal space 4 is released.

[0054] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. In addition, matters not explicitly disclosed in the above embodiment, such as the dimensions, shape, and material of the incense burner, do not deviate from the scope of what a person skilled in the art would normally do, and values ​​that a person skilled in the art would easily come up with can be adopted.

[0055] For example, in the above embodiment, five incense holes 211 are provided at equal intervals along the lengthwise direction in the center of the short side of the top surface 21 of the lid 2, but the number and positions of the incense holes according to the present invention are arbitrary as long as the progress of combustion of the incense material can be grasped from the outside. Also, in the above embodiment, the diameter of the incense holes 211 is 3 mm, but the diameter of the incense holes according to the present invention is arbitrary as long as the incense smoke can be released from the internal space of the incense burner to the outside and the progress of combustion can be grasped from the outside.
