The present invention relates to a scented candle warmer, and more particularly to a scented candle warmer for overcoming trouble and inconvenience at once by easily processing and storing melted drippings and then simply discarding the drippings.
As is well known, a scented candle warmer is a device that irradiates light at high temperature to an upper part of a scented candle to gradually melt the upper part of the scented candle and to emit scent of the scented candle to the air according to a melting phenomenon.
Referring to
Thus, when the luminaire 12 emits light, scent is released into the air while the upper part of the scented candle 21 is gradually melted.
Then, when a scent ingredient included in a melted part of the scented candle is entirely volatilized, scent is not released any longer, and thus liquid (drippings) of the scented candle 21 melted on the upper part of the scented candle container 20 may be discarded, and the scented candle 21 may be accommodated on the base part 10 again to allow the luminaire 12 to emit light to the scented candle 21.
In order to use the scented candle warmer, this procedure may be repeatedly performed.
However, in reality, when a scented candle warmer is used, since there is no place to dump drippings dissolved in the scented candle container 20, the drippings need to be dumped in a trash can, and accordingly, there is a problem in that it is cumbersome to bring and move the scented candle container 20 and it is difficult to clean when the drippings are hardened within the trash can, and also, there is a problem in terms of safety due to hot drippings.

A luminaire part 102 may be installed at the main body part 110 through a column support 101.
The present invention is not limited to the case in which the luminaire part 102 is fixed through the column support 101 connected to the main body part 110 but may have any configuration as long as the luminaire part 102 emits light toward an upper part of a scented candle container 140 positioned below the luminaire part 102.
The main body part 110 may include an accommodation groove 111 in which the collection container 120 is accommodated.
A protrusion 118 may be formed at the center of a bottom surface of the accommodation groove 111.
The protrusion 118 may be stably supported in the accommodation groove 111 to be inserted into a central groove part 122 of the accommodated collection container 120.
As shown in
As shown in
The collection container 120 may store drippings of the scented candle, may include a storage space 121, and may be configured to be accommodated on or removed from the accommodation groove 111 of the main body part 110.
The central groove part 122 into which the protrusion 118 of the main body part 110 is inserted may be formed at the center of a bottom surface of the collection container 120, and thus when the collection container 120 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 111 of the main body part 110, the collection container 120 may be stably supported by inserting the protrusion 118 into the central groove part 122.
The collection container 120 may be a consumable that is discarded when collecting a predetermined amount of scented candle drippings.
The collection container 120 may be formed of a flexible synthetic resin material.
The flexible synthetic resin material may be silicon, and the collection container 120 formed of silicon may be reused after only hardened drippings are easily removed using elasticity unique to a silicone material when drippings stored in the collection container 120 is hardened.
As shown in
Handle holes 134 for moving the support part 130 with fingers may be formed in the accommodation part 132 of the support part 130.
An assembly procedure, an operation, and an effect of the scented candle warmer 100 according to the present invention as configured above will be described.
First, the collection container 120 may be installed into the accommodation groove 111 of the main body part 110 in which the luminaire part 102 is installed through the column support 101.
When the collection container 120 is inserted into the accommodation groove 111, if the central groove part 122 of the collection container 120 is accommodated on the protrusion 118 formed on the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 111, the collection container 120 may be stably supported without shaking.
As such, when the collection container 120 is installed on the main body part 110, the upper part of the collection container 120 may be covered by the support part 130.
Such a state may become in the state shown in
In this case, a lower part of the scented candle container 140 may be accommodated on the accommodation part 132 of the support part 130.
Then, when the luminaire part 102 is turned on, light may be emitted to the upper part of a scented candle 141 of the scented candle container 140 while a lamp (e.g., a halogen lamp) is turned on, and the solid scented candle 141 may be gradually melted by heat of the emitted light.
When the scented candle 141 is melted, scent may be released, and the scented candle 141 may perform a function of the scented candle.
Then, when the scented candle 141 melts to some extent, scent stops being released, and thus the time at which the melted drippings needs to be discarded may be reached.
Thus, when the time at which drippings need to be discarded is reached, the scented candle container 140 may be moved, the support part 130 may be taken off from the collection container 120 using fingers in finger holes 134, and then drippings on the upper part of the scented candle container 140 may be poured into the collection container 120, as shown in
Then, the support part 130 may be covered on the upper part of the collection container 120 again, and the scented candle container 140 may be placed on the collection container 120.
Thus, the upper part of the scented candle 141 may perform a function of a scented candle while being gradually melted by the luminaire part 102 again.
That is, according to the present invention, drippings melted in the scented candle container 140 may be immediately collected and stored in the collection container 120 installed in the main body part 110, and then, when a predetermined amount of drippings are stored, the scented candle container 140 may be simply discarded and processed, which is advantageous.
The scented candle warmer according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a base part 110A on which the luminaire part 102 is installed through the column support 101 and the collection container 120 is placed, the collection container 120 placed on an upper part of the base part 110A and having the storage space 121, and the support part 130 that covers the upper part of the collection container 120 and simultaneously accommodates the scented candle container 140 on the upper part thereof and includes the accommodation part 132 for stably accommodating and supporting the lower surface of the scented candle container 140 through an edge thereof, and the edge part 133 that extends in a downward direction of the flange part 131 and is installed to cover an upper part thereof by the collection container 120.
The base part 110A may be a space in which the collection container 120 is accommodated and may include a step part 11a and an accommodation part 11b.
