Definitions

  • This invention relates to a candlestand installed before God or Buddha.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a candlestand in which a candle can be always stably and reliably stood and can be safely and reliably put out spontaneously by preventing molten wax from sticking to the pin.
  • a candlestand comprising a plurality of shelves, a water dish on the each shelf for containing water, each water dish having a bottom plate, and a pin mounted on the bottom plate of the water dish for supporting a candle.
  • the water dishes may be cup-shaped ones supported on each shelf at intervals, or may be one having such a length as to extend the entire length of each shelf. In the latter case, a plurality of pins are provided on the water dish at longitudinal intervals.
  • a candlestand comprising a support stand, a water dish mounted on the support stand for containing water, the water dish having a pin for supporting a candle so that the bottom of a candle supported on the pin will be immersed in the water in the water dish.
  • a candlestand comprising a support formed with a recess for storing water, and a pin stand placed on a support portion provided in the recess so as to be taken out through an open top of the recess, the pin stand having a pin for supporting a candle so that the bottom of a candle stood on the pin will be immersed in the water in the recess.
  • the temporary locking mechanism may be structured such that a pin hole opening at the outer periphery is formed, an engaging element having a rounded tip and received in the pin stand, the rounded tip received in a pin hole formed in the outer periphery of the pin stand, a spring for biasing the engaging element in such a direction as to protrude from the pin hole, and an annular groove formed in the inner periphery of the support to receive the tip of the engaging element.
  • a permanent magnet may be mounted to one of the bottom surface of the pin stand and the opposed surface of the support portion and a magnetic member may be provided on the other so as to magnetically attracted toward each other.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the candlestand according to this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional side view of the same
  • FIG. 3A is a sectional view showing a candle in a lighted state
  • FIG. 3B is a sectional view showing the candle in an extinguished state
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another example of a shelf and water dishes of the candlestand
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional front view showing a second embodiment of the candlestand according to this invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional front view showing a third embodiment
  • FIG. 7A is a partial enlarged sectional view of the candlestand of FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 7B is a sectional view along line VII-VII of FIG. 7A.
  • FIGS. 1 - 3 show the first embodiment of the candlestand according to this invention.
  • a holder 1 has a pair of side frames 2 .
  • Each side frame 2 includes a supporting crosspiece 3 inclined downwardly.
  • a plurality of shelves 4 are provided in tiers between the right and left supporting crosspieces 3 .
  • a water dish 5 is mounted on each shelf 4 .
  • the water dishes 5 have substantially the same length as the shelves 4 .
  • the water dish 5 may be detachably supported on the shelf 4 , or may be fixed to it. If they are fixed to the shelves 4 , a drain hole that can be closed by a plug is preferably formed in the bottom of each water dish 5 so that water stored therein can be drained through the drain hole.
  • a pin plate 6 having such a length as to extend from one end of each dish 5 to the other end is detachably placed in each water dish 5 .
  • a plurality of pins 7 which taper in the longitudinal direction toward their tips are provided at intervals on the top surface of each pin plate 6 .
  • the candlestand of the first embodiment is structured as described above. Before lighting candles, water is put in the water dishes 5 to such a level that the pins 7 are almost underwater.
  • each shelf 4 which comprises a pipe, a water dish 5 extending over the entire length of the shelf 4 is mounted.
  • the shelves 4 and the water dishes 5 are not restricted thereto.
  • the shelves 4 may be in the form of flat bars and cup-shaped water dishes 5 ′ may be mounted on each shelf 4 at intervals. In this case, a pin 7 is provided in each water dish 5 ′.
  • the pins 7 may be directly fixed to the bottoms of the water dishes 5 or 5 ′ e.g. by brazing.
  • FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment of the candlestand according to this invention.
  • This embodiment is a candlestand to be placed e.g. in a household Buddhist altar.
  • a water dish 11 is mounted on a support stand 10 .
  • a pin 12 for supporting a candle A is provided in the water dish 11 .
  • the dish 11 may be placed on the support stand 10 or may be integral with it.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show the third embodiment of the candlestand according to this invention. As shown, an open-topped recess 21 is formed in the top of a support 20 . The recess 21 is a stepped tapered hole. A pin stand 23 is placed on a step 22 as a support.
  • the outer periphery of the pin stand 23 is a tapered surface complementary to the inner surface of the support 20 .
  • a pin 24 for supporting a candle A is provided on its top surface.
  • a temporary locking mechanism 25 for temporarily locking the pin stand 23 placed on the step 22 is provided.
  • the temporary locking mechanism 25 comprises a recess 26 in the pin stand 23 at its bottom surface, and a pair of pin holes 27 extending through the pin stand 23 from opposed positions of its outer peripheral surface to the recess 26 .
  • a flanged engaging element 28 having its tip rounded is mounted in each pin hole 27 .
  • a spring 29 biasing the respective engaging elements 28 in such directions as to protrude from the pin holes 27 outwardly is provided to temporarily lock the pin stand 23 by holding the engaging elements 28 in an annular groove 30 formed in the inner periphery of the support 20 .
  • the step 22 on the inner periphery of the recess 21 is the support portion.
  • the recess 21 may have a truncated conical shape so that its bottom serves as the support portion.
  • a lighted candle stood on the pin can be safely and reliably put out spontaneously by the water in the water dishes or the recess. Until it is spontaneously put out, the pin is covered by the candle, so that it is possible to substantially perfectly prevent molten wax produced by the burning of the candle from sticking to the surface of the pin. Thus, by removing the candle end remaining on the pin, the pin appears with no molten wax attaching, so that it is always possible to stably and reliably support the candle. Thus, it is possible to prevent breakout of a fire due to the fall of a lighted candle.
