DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0019] 1 to 4, the mosquito coil holder has a main body 1. The main body 1 has a tray 2 that receives ash that falls from the mosquito coil. The tray 2 is disk-shaped, with a peripheral wall 3 standing on its outer periphery. The peripheral wall 3 has a pair of handles 3a on the left and right that protrude radially outward.

[0020] The main body 1 has a mounting portion 4. The mounting portion 4 is erected in the center of the tray portion 2. The mounting portion 4 has a top surface 6 on which the spiral mosquito coil 5 is placed. The top surface 6 is formed into a circular flat surface.

[0021] The mosquito coil holder is equipped with a weight 8 that holds the mosquito coil 5 on the mounting part 4. The weight 8 is formed into a cylindrical body with the same diameter as the top surface 6 of the mounting part 4. A guide rod 8a is erected on the upper surface of the cylindrical body. A retaining and operating part 8b is formed on the upper end of the guide rod 8a. The weight 8 has enough weight to hold the mosquito coil 5 on the support part 4.

[0022] The mosquito coil holder includes a positioning means for detachably positioning the weight relative to the placement portion.

[0023] The positioning means 9 has a support 10 that supports the weight 8 .

[0024] The positioning means 9 has a fixed portion 11 fixed to the main body 1, and the support portion 10 is provided on the fixed portion 11.

[0025] That is, the fixing part 11 is made up of a rod member that is fixed to the outer surface of the peripheral wall 3 of the main body 1, extends upward, and has its upper end bent toward the center of the tray part 2. The fixing part 11 is made up of two rod members. The support part 10 is fixed to the tip of the rod members.

[0026] A guide hole 10a that penetrates vertically is formed in the center of the support part 10. A guide rod 8a of the weight 8 is inserted into this guide hole 10a so as to be slidable vertically. In other words, the support part 10 supports the weight 8 relative to the fixed part 11 so as to be movable vertically.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, hold the operating part 8b of the weight 8 supported by the support part 10 and pull it upward as shown by the imaginary line, and insert the mosquito coil 5 between the top surface 6 of the mounting part 4 and the underside of the weight 8. By releasing the operating part 8b, the weight 8 descends and the mosquito coil 5 is held on the mounting part 4.

[0028] The tip of the spiral mosquito coil 5 shown in Figure 4 is ignited by an ignition device. This ignition can be done while the mosquito coil 5 is held by the weight 8, making the ignition process easier than when igniting by hand.

[0029] The lit mosquito coil burns and releases insecticidal ingredients into the air. The burned ash is collected in the tray 2.

[0030] As the combustion progresses and reaches the part held by the weight 8, the combustion of the mosquito coil 5 sandwiched between the mounting part 4 and the weight 8 is extinguished. Because the top surface 6 of the mounting part 4 and the weight 8 are made of metal, the heat is absorbed by these metals, causing the combustion to be extinguished.

[0031] If the weight 8 is used to hold the mosquito coil 5 not at the central end of the spiral but at the midpoint of the spiral, the mosquito coil can be automatically extinguished in a predetermined time.

[0032] 5 to 8 show another embodiment of the present invention. The mosquito coil holder has a main body 1. The main body 1 has a bottom 2 and a peripheral wall 3 extending from the periphery of the bottom, and is open upward. A mounting portion 4 projects from the bottom 2 in the center of the main body 1. The mounting portion 4 has a top surface 6 that supports a mosquito coil 5.

[0033] The bottom 2 of the main body 1 serves as a tray 2 for receiving the burnt residue of the mosquito coil 5. The mosquito coil 5 is formed in a spiral shape.

[0034] A ground stabilizing portion 7 is provided on the underside of the bottom portion 2. This ground stabilizing portion 7 is shown as being ring-shaped, but it may also be made up of three protrusions.

[0035] The mosquito coil holder has a weight 8. The weight 8 is placed on top of the incense coil 5 placed on the top surface 6 of the mounting portion 4. The weight 8 has enough weight to hold the incense coil 5 on the support portion 4.

[0036] The mosquito coil holder is provided with a positioning means 9 for detachably positioning the weight 8 on the placing portion 4.

[0037] The positioning means 9 has a fixed part 11 fixed to the main body 1 and a support part 10 that supports the weight 8 relative to the fixed part 11 so that the weight 8 can move up and down.

[0038] The top surface 6 has a small area that is just enough to support the incense stick 5. By making the area small, the incense stick 5 can be burned to the end.

[0039] Specifically, the top surface 6 is formed as a flat surface with a diameter of 30 mm. The height of the mounting portion 4 from the bottom 2 is 36 mm, the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3 is 170 mm, the height of the peripheral wall 3 is 44 mm, and the height of the ground stabilization portion 7 from the lower surface of the bottom is 6 mm.

[0040] The top surface 6 is at approximately the same height as the upper surface of the peripheral wall 3 .

[0041] The underside of weight 8 is a flat surface with the same diameter as top surface 6. Weight 8 has a height of 40 mm, and a support part 10 protrudes from the top of weight 8. Support part 10 is formed into an L-shape from a metal wire rod with a diameter of 6 mm. One end of the L-shape is fixed to weight 8 placed on top surface 6, and extends horizontally and hangs down from weight 8, with the hanging lower end located near the outer circumferential surface of peripheral wall 3.

[0042] The fixed portion 11 is fixed to the peripheral wall 3 and has a guide hole 11a that penetrates in the vertical direction. The fixed portion 11 has a long hole 11b that is long in the vertical direction and that connects the guide hole 11a to the outside.

[0043] The hanging-down lower end of the support part 10 is inserted into the guide hole 11a so as to be freely slidable in the vertical direction. A pin that protrudes into the elongated hole 11b is provided on the part of the support part 10 that is inserted into the guide hole 11a. This pin prevents the support part 10 from rotating, and the bottom surface of the weight 8 is configured to always face the top surface 8 of the support part 4.

[0044] The weight 8 is preferably heavy enough to hold a plurality of mosquito coils 5. The weight 8 is capable of clamping the burning portion of the incense coil 5 when extinguishing the fire.

[0045] The top surface 6 of the mounting portion 4 is made of a magnetic material, and a magnet 12 that is attracted to the magnetic material is provided on the underside of the weight 8 .

[0046] The attractive force of the magnet 12 is strong enough that the main body 1 can be carried by holding the support part 10 in the hand with the weight 8 placed directly on the top surface 6.

[0047] A carrying handle 13 is provided on the peripheral wall 3. The main body 1 can be carried by holding this handle 13. When this handle 13 is provided, the magnet 12 of the weight 8 becomes unnecessary.

[0048] The magnet 12 may be provided on the top surface 6 of the mounting portion 4, and the lower surface of the weight 8 may be made of a magnetic material.

[0049] 5 and 6, when the mosquito coil 5 is not in use, the weight 8 is placed on the top surface 6 of the mounting portion 4 of the mosquito coil holder of the embodiment. The weight 8 is attracted to the support portion 4 by the magnet 12, so the main body 1 can be carried by holding the arm 10 in one's hand.

[0050] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when using the mosquito coil 5, the weight 8 is moved upward, the center of the mosquito coil 5 is placed on the top surface 6 of the support part 4, and the weight 8 is lowered onto the top surface of the center of the coil 5.

[0051] In this embodiment, not only one mosquito coil 5 but also a plurality of stacked mosquito coils 5 can be held. In the illustration, two spiral mosquito coils 5 are held in a stacked state.

[0052] In this holding state, the incense stick 5 is ignited by the igniter 14 as shown in Figure 4. This makes ignition easier than in the conventional case where the incense stick is ignited by holding it in the hand.

[0053] If it is desired to extinguish the fire midway, the burning portion of the incense stick 5 is placed on the top surface 6 and the upper surface is pressed with the weight 8, thereby extinguishing the burning portion.

[0054] If the spiral mosquito coil 5 is not held in place by the weight 8 but is held in place at a midpoint, the incense coil 5 will extinguish at that position. Therefore, if you want the incense coil to automatically extinguish at a predetermined time, you can hold it in place with a weight at the position where it is expected to burn, and it will automatically extinguish at the predetermined time, which is convenient for use while sleeping.

[0055] 9 to 12 show another embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] In this embodiment, the positioning means 9 is different from that in the previous embodiment.

[0057] The positioning means has a pivotal support part 15 fixed to the main body 1 and an arm 16 that supports the weight 8 so that it can swing up and down relative to the pivotal support part 15.

[0058] The pivotal support portion 15 is fixed to the peripheral wall 3 of the main body 1. One end of an arm 16 is pivotally supported on the pivotal support portion 15 so as to be able to swing up and down. The other end of the arm 16 is fixed to the weight 8.

[0059] The other configurations are the same as those of the above embodiment.

[0060] Figures 13 and 14 show how the mosquito coil 5 can be clamped at any position in each of the above-mentioned embodiments. Any length of mosquito coil 5 (even a very short one or about half the length) can be stably fixed. Figure 14 shows how to hold broken pieces of incense coil 5.

[0061] Conventionally, when trying to light such a short incense stick 5, it has been necessary to hold it in one's hand, but in this embodiment, it can be lit while being held between weights 8, making the ignition operation easier.

[0062] 15 to 17 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the positioning means 9 is different.

[0063] The positioning means 9 has an abutment portion 17 on the weight 8 that detachably abuts against the main body 1 to position the weight 8 relative to the placement portion 4.

[0064] That is, two arms 18 protrude from the weight 8, and abutment portions 17 are provided at the lower ends of the arms 18, and the abutment portions 17 come into contact with the peripheral wall 3 at two points, making it easy to center the weight 8. The outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the weight 8 is knurled for gripping.

[0065] Alternatively, a bifurcated engaging portion may be provided at the lower end of the contact portion 17, and the bifurcated engaging portion may be engaged with the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the peripheral wall in a freely detachable manner.

[0066] The contact portion 17 may be a magnet that is attracted to the peripheral wall 3 .

[0067] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the center of the spiral Katori incense stick 5 is held by the weight 8 on the small top surface 6, so it can burn without waste to the end. Also, if you want to extinguish the fire midway, you can easily extinguish it by sandwiching the burning part between the top surface 6 and the weight 8, and there is no need for other components for extinguishing the fire as in the past.

[0068] When lighting the incense stick 5, it can be lit while being held by the weight 8, which makes it easier to light than when it is held by hand.

[0069] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and are not restrictive.

[0070] For example, although the main body is exemplified as being made by pressing a metal plate, it can also be made of ceramic or the like. In the case of ceramic, a magnetic material can be embedded in the top surface of the mounting portion. The weight is not limited to metal and can also be made of ceramic. The weight positioning means is not limited to using the peripheral wall for positioning, and can also be provided with concave-convex engaging portions on the top surface of the mounting portion and the underside of the weight in a position that does not interfere with holding the incense stick.

[0071] The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, rather than the above description, and includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
