1. Field of the invention
The present invention is related to a campfire means for outdoor activities such as camping, and especially to an environmental-conservation campfire caddy composed of a paper-barrel container and wax.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Normal group entertainment activities mostly have campfire evening parties at nights, campfire piles are the focuses that people notice; particularly evening activities mostly are held around the campfire piles. Therefore, quality of piling of campfire piles often influences proceedings of the entertainment activities.
A conventional campfire pile 10 as shown in
And more, after every group entertainment activities, the fire flame must be completely extinguished; normally people use water to pour to extinguish a campfire pile, however, the campfire pile will have the phenomenon of collapsing after burning to a certain degree, thereby the bottom of the campfire pile is subjected to leaving a small flame which may induce a serious result that can not be tidied up.
Moreover, the wood or campfire sticks building the campfire pile are subjected to charring or destroy, and the flame must be extinguished with water after burning; thereby the wood or campfire sticks are more charred and unable to be used again except being discarded on the site or being dealt with as garbage, they are uneasy to be cleared up to thereby induce wasting of resources, this does not meet the gist of environmental conservation.
Therefore, it is the direction of the present invention to solve the problem and to provide a campfire means that can be repeatedly used and environmental conservative.
Thereby, in view of the above inconvenience in use campfire, the inventor of the present invention provides and successfully develops an environmental-conservation campfire caddy based on his professional experience of years in studying, designing and manufacturing same kind of products and after hard work, hard study and developing.
The environmental-conservation campfire caddy of the present invention mainly comprises a container, a cover and a kind of combustible material; wherein the container and the cover are made from paper barrels; while the combustible material is made of waste of paper scraps or wood shreds generated during production of the paper container and the paper cover, and is made by adding wax to perform a mixing process, and then is placed in a receiving chamber of the container to be covered with the cover. When the combustible material is burned in the container, it can be used as campfire; when not in use, the container is covered with the cover to interrupt contact of the combustible material with air, and then the combustible material is extinguished. The campfire caddy thus can be repeatedly used, and it is entirely made of environmental conservation material decomposable in a natural mode, and will not create environmental pollution or damage.
The object of the present invention is: to place the combustible material made of the waste of paper scraps or wood shreds generated during production of the paper container and the paper cover and added with the wax in the receiving chamber of the container made from the paper barrel, so that the combustible material can be burned in the container; and after using, to cover the container with the cover to interrupt contact of the combustible material with air, and thereby to extinguish the combustible material; wherein the campfire caddy being extinguished can be recovered for repeated use the next time.
Another object of the present invention is: to render the paper container, the paper cover and the combustible material made of the waste of paper scraps or wood shreds added with the wax decomposable in a natural mode without creating environmental pollution or damage.
The present invention will be apparent in its content and effect to be achieved after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.
The environmental-conservation campfire caddy of the present invention, referring to
Wherein the container 20 is made from a paper barrel, it has a receiving chamber 21, an inner edge of the receiving chamber 21 has an upwardly extending inner wall 22 with a constant thickness to form a step 23 with an outer edge of the container 20; the step 23 is formed by cutting the container 20 made from the paper barrel.
Referring also to
The combustible material 40 is made of waste of paper scraps or wood shreds generated during production of the container 20 and the cover 30, and is made by adding wax to perform a mixing process, and then is placed in a receiving chamber 21 of the container 20. The wax at least has the kinds of natural refined wax, paraffin wax, bee wax and tree wax etc.
Therefore, when the combustible material 40 is placed in the receiving chamber 21 of the container 20, the paper scraps or wood shreds on the upper area of the combustible material 40 form a protruding combustible core 41, then the cover 30 covers the container 20 to render the inner step 32 to cover the step 23 for the purpose of storing and protecting the combustible material 40.
When in use, please also refer to
When the combustible material 40 is to be extinguished, the campfire caddies are separated one by one, and the cover 30 covers the container 20 to make the interior of the receiving chamber 21 form a sealed state to prevent air from getting into the receiving chamber 21, so that the combustible material 40 is unable to contact with air and is extinguished, and the campfire caddies can be recovered for repeated use the next time, and are convenient for carrying.
Moreover, by virtue that the container 20 is made from a paper barrel which is made of paper pulp by high pressuring, the density of the container 20 is relatively large and not so easy to burn; the combustible material 40 is made of waste of paper scraps or wood shreds generated during production of the container 20, and is made by adding wax; when the combustible material 40 is completely burned, the container 20 itself can be decomposed and hence will not damage the entire environment, and thus the amount of waste created can be reduced.
Further, please refer to
When the combustible material 40 is burned for a period of time, wax will become liquid because of high temperature; now, the wax will be absorbed through the capillary action by the inner wall 22 of the container 20; thereby the inner wall 22 of the container 20 is a medium for burning, a flame will be ignited from the inner wall 22 to help a campfire caddy to keep continuously the burning state; and by virtue that the container 20 is made from a paper barrel which has a high density, thereby when the flame takes the inner wall 22 as its medium for burning, the container 20 will not be burned down to create the phenomenon of carbonization.
Additionally, referring to
The names of the members composing the present invention are only for illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not for giving any limitation to the scope of the present invention; it will be apparent to those skilled in this art that various equivalent modifications or changes without departing from the spirit of this invention shall also fall within the scope of the appended claims.
