Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a decorative stand, and more particularly to a decorative stand on which any desired figure or character can be drawn with the flames of a large number of candles. It is something.

[Conventional technology]

Candles have traditionally been used as decorative lights at Christmas, weddings, etc. These candles have various shapes and designs to create an elegant atmosphere in the place where they are used. or,
Like candles, they are used to stand up, and various ideas have been devised for the stands. As a conventional decorative shelf, for example, there is a combination shelf in which support rods are sequentially extended and fixed around several straight plates with arc-shaped lower bases, and a candle plate is attached to the upper end (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 37-22447). , a semi-conical board stand with a plurality of candles arranged in steps (U.S. Pat. No. 2,733,586), and the like.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, conventional candle stands are candle stands for arranging a large number of candles, and are simply a large number of candles arranged horizontally, or those arranged in multiple tiers, etc. Therefore, the number of candle stands is limited. The shapes could only draw patterns, and at most they were circles, semicircles, radial patterns, etc., and were far from being able to draw desired figures or characters. Moreover, conventional candlesticks either have large stands and the candles are inconspicuous, or relatively large candles are spaced apart, making it difficult to imagine shapes or letters with the flame of the candle. It was not possible to draw, the decorative effect of the candle flame could not be expected, and there were other disadvantages such as making the candle stand very complicated. In recent years, in addition to decorative forms, there has been a demand for candles to further enhance the atmosphere with their own light, and there has been a desire for a stand that fits this demand.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present inventors focused on the effect of a large number of candle flames as a decorative light, and conducted extensive studies to increase the charm of a light or the decorative effect of a large number of candle flames.

The present invention was developed based on the discovery that a candle that can express figures or characters with the flames of a large number of candles is extremely effective as a decorative light.

That is, the present invention provides a decorative device comprising a continuous molded product formed into a predetermined figure or character, a support body provided with a large number of candle holders along the figure or character, and a stand that supports the support body. Regarding the table.

A feature of the decorative stand of the present invention is that a candle holder for holding a large number of candles is provided on a molded product formed into a desired arbitrary figure or character, and the figure is made to appear by the flames of the candles set in the molded product. It consists of a stand for supporting the support body.

The above-mentioned support is made of wood, metal, rubber, plastic, ceramic, etc., and is shaped into a rod shape with a circular or square cross section or other shape, and its thickness is determined by the holder, candle, etc. to which it is attached. It is sufficient if it can withstand the weight of Since the candle flame makes the figures or letters stand out, it is preferable for the support to be as thin as possible from a decorative point of view.

The shape of the support can be any desired shape, such as a heart shape, Mt. Fuji shape, or a spiral shape, and the characters can be any desired characters, such as alphabets or Chinese characters.

The candle holder to be attached to the support may be any conventionally known type, such as a candle holder or a cylindrical one, or a candle holder proposed by the applicant (Utility Model Application No. 54-61991) or the like can be used. can do. This candle holder is mounted on a support so that the candle always stands straight when the candle is attached to the holder. therefore.

The angle at which the holder is attached to the support must be changed depending on the position so that the candle placed on the holder is vertical. Further, since the candle holder contains a large number of small candles to make figures etc. stand out, the interval between the candles is preferably 2 to 150 m.

For a decorative effect, the support should be attached to the stand at an angle to the horizontal.

The support is preferably set at an angle with respect to the horizontal to prevent heating of the support by multiple flames or melting of the upper candle, as well as to give a three-dimensional effect, and to make the figures or characters on the support visible to the viewer. It is necessary to have Furthermore, if the support is fixed to the stand vertically, it will be difficult and inconvenient to attach the candle holder and place the candle there, so the angle can be appropriately selected between horizontal and vertical.

When attaching the support to the stand, it is preferable to attach the support to the top end of the stand column in a removable manner.
Any means can be used for that purpose.

The stand consists of a pedestal and a support erected thereon, and the stand may be made of any material, and may be the same as the material of the support described above.

The length and thickness of the pillars of the stand can be selected as appropriate to support the support body stably, and the size and shape of the pedestal can be selected within a range that allows the pedestal to be placed comfortably and stably. be able to. The column and the pedestal may be coupled at any position as long as the support body can be supported in a well-balanced manner, but it is preferable that the column and the pedestal be coupled at the rear of the pedestal.

Lighting of the plurality of candles on the support is done in a known manner. For example, one person or many people can be mobilized to
It can be ignited with a matchstick, a stick candle, a gas torch, etc., or it can be ignited electrically.

Also, Japanese Patent Application No. 10701/1983 (Special Publication No. 2712/1983
As in the method described in Publication No. 2), a fibril filament is connected at the tip of the combustion wick of each candle, so that a large number of candles can be ignited continuously through the fibril filament. You can also do that.

(Function) Since the support of the present invention is pre-shaped into a figure or character, it can be made into any desired figure or character, and since a large number of candle holders are attached to it, the flame of the candle The figure can be made to stand out and the decorative effect can be enhanced.In addition, the support is well-balanced and combined with the pillar of the stand. The decorative effect can also be enhanced by combining it with candles.

〔Example〕

An example will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 19 cylindrical candle holders 2 are attached to a heart-shaped support 1. This material can be metal, plastic, or any other material, and the stand has three pillars.
and seat plate 4.

As shown in Figure 2, the stand and the support 2 are connected at the position of the heart-shaped concave part of the heart-shaped support 1, and the stand is tilted so that the heart-shaped peak is diagonally forward by the pillar 3 of the stand. It is supported and connected in the state. Further, as shown in Fig. 3, it is preferable that the support 1 has a certain angle with respect to the horizontal, so that when the candle holder is attached and when the candle is lit, the figures or letters will not stand out clearly. You can show it to the audience.

It is also possible to attach the support 1 parallel to the support column 3 of the stand, that is, perpendicular to the horizontal, but not only is it difficult to attach the candle holder, but the frame of the support gets in the way when a small candle is set up in the candle holder. There will be places where candles cannot be placed, and it will be difficult to ignite the candles continuously, and even after ignition, the candles will be too close together, causing inconveniences such as the flame of the lower candle melting the upper candle. may occur. Therefore, it is preferable that the support is attached at an angle between parallel and perpendicular.

Further, the candle holder 2 can be of any shape other than the cylindrical shape.

The installation interval of the candle holders 2 is 2 to 15 cm, and the number can be selected as appropriate depending on the size of the support 1.

The stand consists of a support 3 and a pedestal 4. In order to support the support 1 in a well-balanced manner or to enable the main candle (a large candle) to be placed in the center of the pedestal, the post 3 is preferably erected at the rear 5 of the pedestal 4.

The pedestal can be of any suitable size and shape.

Figure 4 shows a Mt. Fuji-shaped shelter. In this case, at the center of the top of Mt. Fuji type support 1, support 1 and stand column 3
are combined.

〔Effect of the invention〕
