Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container for alcohol-based solid fuel, into which the alcohol-based solid fuel is inserted and stored for combustion.

Alcohol-based solid fuel has been praised for its small size, ease of handling, and its ability to be used anywhere, and has come to be widely used as a new household and commercial fuel. Furthermore, in recent years, in order to save the trouble of cleaning and removing molten fuel debris after use and to enable easier use, fuel with containers is also available, in which alcohol-based solid fuel is housed in a cup-shaped container made of aluminum foil or the like. provided.

These containerized fuels are highly praised for their convenience in that they do not dirty the stove when used on the stove, and the molten fuel waste after combustion can be stored in the container.

However, on the other hand, conventional fuels in containers generate unpleasant odors and smoke when they are used for combustion, which is a problem especially when used on a tabletop at home or in a restaurant.

Conventional containerized fuel is manufactured by filling and solidifying liquid fuel in a container, or by wrapping molded and solidified fuel in aluminum foil, and the fuel is tightly sealed inside the container or envelope. This is due to the structural reason that they have no choice but to be housed in such a state.

In other words, if the fuel is stored in close contact with the container or envelope, the molten fuel debris that is sequentially generated during combustion will also accumulate on the combustion surface of the fuel, and this molten fuel debris will come into contact with the flame and burn again. Unavoidable odors and smoke were generated.

This point has been pointed out since the time when containerized fuel was released, but those skilled in the art are only interested in reducing containers and their manufacturing costs. No practical proposals were made regarding containers for use.

The object of the present invention is to provide a novel alcohol-based solid fuel container that does not generate any strange odor or smoke when the fuel is used.

That is, the alcohol-based solid fuel container according to the present invention is a cup-shaped container constructed using a metal plate or metal foil, and a groove portion is appropriately provided on the inner surface of the cup-shaped container.

Hereinafter, the alcohol-based solid fuel container according to the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

The illustrated container 1 is a cup-shaped container molded from a thin aluminum plate and has an opening on the top surface, into which a molded and individualized alcohol-based solid fuel 2 is inserted and stored for combustion. It has an inner diameter that matches the outer diameter of the alcohol-based solid fuel 2 so as to do so.

Grooves are appropriately formed inside the container 1, and in this embodiment, a groove ring 3 of an appropriate width is formed on the inner periphery of the bottom, and a groove groove 3 is formed in the vertical direction on the inner surface of the peripheral wall.
' is configured so that the two communicate with each other.

The alcohol-based solid fuel container developed in this invention is
Since it has the above configuration, the container 1
When used, the alcohol-based solid fuel 2 can be inserted and housed in the interior of the groove 3', in which molten fuel debris generated as the fuel burns is removed from the groove 3' formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall. Since the fuel flows down and stays in the concave groove ring 3 connected to the inner periphery of the bottom, the molten fuel debris does not come into contact with the flame on the combustion surface and get heated, thereby avoiding the generation of odor and smoke.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner surface of the peripheral wall is provided with concave grooves 3'.
Because of this, it functions as an air supply path during combustion and increases combustion efficiency. It is also possible to obtain the secondary effect that the portion 4 stably holds the alcohol-based solid fuel 2 inserted and housed in the container 1.

In the illustrated embodiment, the grooves on the inner surface of the container 1 include a groove ring 3 on the inner surface of the bottom and a groove strip 3 on the inner surface of the peripheral wall.
', but this does not limit the formation position and shape of the groove on the inner surface of the container 1.

That is, the alcohol-based solid fuel container according to the present invention differs from conventional containers or envelopes in which the fuel is tightly contained, in that the container 1 is constructed separately from the fuel, so there is no fuel melt between the two. While the debris flows down, the 〓 is sufficiently retained. Therefore, if a groove is formed at an appropriate position within the container 1, the molten fuel debris flowing down into the groove can be retained regardless of its position or shape, thereby avoiding the generation of strange odors and smoke.

As described above, when using the container for alcohol-based solid fuel according to the present invention for combustion, the extremely simple structure of forming a groove on the inner surface of the container allows the fuel stored in the conventional container or envelope to be used for combustion. It is possible to easily prevent the generation of unpleasant odors and smoke that cannot be avoided during combustion.
