    DESCRIPTION PERFECTED INCENSE HOLLOW BAR
    SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE
    The present invention falls within the technical area of artisanal and industrial manufacturing of hollow rods for direct burning of incense.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Currently, incense can be found in the market in numerous presentations and degrees of preparation. Highlighting two large groups: incense for direct burning and 10 for indirect burning.
    In general, large and coarse incense tends to burn longer than the most processed, and direct burning incense requires less preparation for use, but requires more prior processing. Apart from this, the preference for one or another presentation depends largely on culture, traditions and personal tastes 15
    Incense is used as an integral part of the rituals of worship in numerous religions.
    Incense for direct burning is usually placed in a receptacle called incense burner, or incense burner, in which the incense is ignited and ventilated to propagate its aroma. This variant is very popular in China, where it has been used for centuries in the temples of Hindu deities. Also in Japan it plays a fundamental role in Buddhist temples, the imperial court and even in daily life (such as when a contract between companies is closed).
    In the use of indirect burning incense, also known as non-combustible incense, it requires an external source of heat since it does not produce embers when consumed. Heat is usually achieved by charcoal or hot ash. The incense is burned by placing directly on the burning coals or on a hot metal plate inside the censer, botafumeiro or turuelo. This variant is widely used by the Catholic Church (for Eucharistic Adoration, processions, etc.), in the Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Church and, to a lesser extent, in other Christian confessions.
    The present invention presents an improvement in the realization of hollow rods for direct burning of incense. This form of incense marketing is characterized by being longitudinally elongated and having a thin bamboo rod in its center (5-wood core). Higher quality varieties usually include a portion of sandalwood. The rod is covered with a thick layer of incense that burns together with said wooden core. This presentation occurs frequently in China and India. When used for worship in traditional Chinese religion, hollow incense sticks are sometimes referred to as "joss sticks." 10
    The solid rods differ from the hollow ones in that the solid ones do not have a support core and are only composed of incense. Being easily divisible into pieces, they allow you to determine the specific amount of incense you want to burn. This form of presentation is the most commercialized in Japan, where most of the temples have a pebetero at the entrance in which this type of incense sticks 15 are burned.
    To use the direct burning incense, it must be lit and then the flame goes out, so that the charcoal remains, and the incense continues to shine and smoke while it is consumed.
    Since the habit of smoking begins to decline in our society and the glass-ceramic plates 20 have replaced fire and gas stoves, in many homes it is no longer common to have a matchbox or other devices that allow the flame to be ignited. Thus, it is increasingly common that at the moment in which a person prepares to light an incense stick, this person discovers that he does not have matches or other devices to light a fire. 25
    In addition, because of the way in which the incense sticks are lit, it is not possible to light one rod from the heat given off by another. Therefore, in the case of running out of matches or the lighter charging is finished, it is no longer possible to continue lighting them, since a more powerful heat source that exposes a flame is required. 30
    The present invention aims to solve the technical problem derived from this situation, proposing a new type of hollow rod for direct burning of incense in which an external element that provides the flame for the ignition of the rod is not necessary.
    The applicants of the present invention are unaware of the existence of a background that satisfactorily solves the problem presented.
    EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    Physically, hollow incense sticks are traditionally composed of a longitudinal core of cylindrical bamboo wood and a coating of incense paste that has dried and hardened around the core in full extent, except for the final part of one of its ends, which serves as support in the pebetero or censer.
    Usually the bamboo core is narrow and does not receive any special treatment, 10 beyond its cutting and carving. Although there are commercially appreciated variants in which portions of sandalwood are inserted in the central part of the bamboo core.
    The present invention proposes to use a white wood core (such as poplar wood) of square section instead of the traditional bamboo rods. In this new longitudinal wood core a chemical treatment is carried out at one of its ends, which adds a small amount of flammable mass at the tip of said end, so that a flame can be generated by simple friction. This eliminates the need to have an external heat source for incense to ignite. twenty
    Since the aroma of incense is one of its main attractions, it is not convenient to use sulfur to transmit the flame from the treated tip to the wood, since it has a smell similar to that of rotten eggs when oxidized in combustion. Instead, it is proposed to impregnate paraffin wood, which produces a similar effect without the formation of foul-smelling gases. 25
    The reason why it has been indicated that the wood core has a square section is to increase the porosity of the wood used and the exposed surface, so that the paraffin can penetrate more into the area on which it is applied. Since the coniferous resinous wood does not have sufficient absorption capacity, it is preferable to use white woods, such as that obtained from poplars, poplars and lime trees. 30 Although it is possible to use resinous woods if they are previously treated with products that increase their porosity, such as being immersed in soda solutions.
    The flammable friction dough that is applied at the tip of the wood core end contains:
    - an adherent compound that gives cohesion to the dough and keeps liquid at the temperature at which it is applied, such as glue of animal origin, dextrin, gum arabic, or gum of Senegal. 5
    - an easily flammable substance, such as potassium chlorate and antimony sulfide (since the use of white phosphorus is prohibited in many countries due to its toxic nature).
    - an oxidizing substance, such as potassium nitrate, lead dioxide, nimium, potassium bichromate or manganese. 10
    - other possible compounds that increase friction, such as ground glass, coke or pumice powder, cinnabar or iron oxide.
    - and, optionally, dyes that facilitate the identification of the area occupied by said mass
    The mixture that offers the best results for the manufacture of the flammable mass 15 comprises the following proportions in a relative way:
    • between 50% and 60% of the total weight of the potassium chlorate mixture;
    • between 2% and 7% of the total weight of the potassium bichromate mixture;
    • between 0.3% and 2.5% of the total weight of the sulfur mixture;
    • between 3% and 8% of the total weight of the manganese mixture; twenty
    • between 1% and 5% of the total weight of the iron oxide mixture;
    • between 1% and 5% of the total weight of the Armenian bolus mixture;
    • between 4% and 9% of the total weight of the ground glass mixture;
    • between 2% and 4% of the total weight of the glue mixture of animal origin;
    • and between 8 and 20% gum arabic. 25
    The composition derived from the mixture of these substances becomes liquid and viscous at temperatures of about 50 ° C, which allows it to impregnate with it the tip of the end of the longitudinal core of wood, which has previously been bathed in paraffin for the correct fixing of the composition. Once dry, the result is a covering that burns when rubbed on the appropriate surface. 30
    Additionally, said tip can be coated with resin varnish, to protect the flammable material from moisture and preserve its properties even if it is in contact with water or the essential oils that are used to modify the aroma of the incense paste.
    It should be noted that this chemical process is carried out before placing the incense paste 5 on the longitudinal core of wood. Therefore, the paste is distributed around the wood core once it has been chemically treated, instead of inserting the wood core into a portion of extruded incense paste, since this latter procedure could result in hollow rods in the that the paste tends to detach from the wood core. 10
    The reason why the flammable mass is applied on the wood core is because the incense mass is quite brittle once it dries. It is not convenient to incorporate the flammable mixture directly on it (for example at the opposite end of the exposed area that serves as support), because you cannot comfortably exert enough force to generate the flame without danger of the incense paste it breaks.
    In addition, if the flammable mass were placed on the incense paste, it would not be possible to add the impregnation with wax that retards the propagation of the flame to prevent the incense from igniting excess.
    At the time of ignition, temperatures above 2000 ° C are reached in the place where the flame arises, so it is not convenient for it to form directly on the incense mass that covers the rod.
    Two possible variants of the invention are detailed below:
    In the first of the possible variants, the longitudinal wood core has at that end a small section weakened by mechanical means (either by incisions, or by a reduction in the thickness of the section) that facilitates the detachment of said portion. Once the detached end of the rod has been inflamed, it will be possible to light the opposite end of the rod, where the incense paste is distributed.
    The second variant differs from the previous one in that the hollow incense rod 30 exposes both ends of the white wood core. One with the chemical treatment that allows to turn on said end and another that maintains the function of serving as support when placed in the censer. In this case, the incense paste only covers the central area of the wood core, and the non-flammable end is long enough so that it can be grasped with the fingers without danger that they burn at the moment in which the friction flame.
    As already indicated, in both cases, once the area covered by the 5 incense paste is turned on, it must be blown over it to extinguish the flame and leave the embers that consume the incense little by little.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where it is shown as an illustrative and non-limiting nature. the next:
    Figure 1.- Shows a side view of the traditional incense hollow rod, by way of example of the state of the art. The figure shows the bamboo core (2) of a cylindrical section covered with incense paste (1).
    Figure 2.- Shows a side view of the perfected incense hollow rod. The wood core (4) is square in section and at its exposed end a chemical treatment (5) has been carried out that allows a flame to be generated by friction. In the area exposed at a certain distance from the tip, small incisions (6) 20 have been made to facilitate the separation of that portion of the longitudinal core; so that it can approach the opposite end and ignite the incense.
    Figure 3.- It shows a side view of a variant of the perfected incense hollow rod, in which both ends of the longitudinal core of square section (4) are exposed, since the incense paste (1) only covers its central area 25
    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    The process for manufacturing the perfected incense hollow rod comprises the following steps:
    First, a thin white wood rod (2) of about 25 cm and a thickness of not more than 2 mm with a square section is cut; preferably of poplar, although other variants of white wood such as Russian poplar, linden or beech also give good results.
    The longitudinal rod or core (2) is immersed in a solution of sodium silicate or ammonium or potassium phosphate, in order to prevent burning of the flammable mass (5), the wood burns at high speed. 5
    Then, one of its ends (4) is immersed in a paraffin bath up to a length of at least 1 cm, to facilitate the fixation of the flammable mass at the tip of said area. And it dries with ventilation at room temperature.
    Then, the same end (4) is passed through a new bath of a mixture consisting of an oxidizing substance (chlorate or potassium chromate, lead dioxide, manganese dioxide, etc.), a flammable substance (sulfur or its derivatives, such as antimony sulfide), special additives to activate friction (glass dust, for example), dyes and a binder (dextrin, glue, etc.) that holds all the above products together and can also serve as support of the flame
    Specifically, in this preferred embodiment, the following mixture is proposed:
    - 58% potassium chlorate
    - 5’1% potassium bichromate
    - 1’3% sulfur
    - 5’8% manganese
    - 3’25% iron oxide 20
    - 3’25% of Armenian bolus
    - 7% ground glass
    - 3’25% tail of animal origin
    - 13% gum arabic
    This composition has the particularity of not containing phosphorus, so that when rubbing the 25 rods with each other there is no danger of ignition. However, phosphorus must be found on the rough surface on which the flammable mass is rubbed. The composition of said surface must contain in this case:
    - 50% amorphous phosphorus
    - 12’5% ammonium trisulfide 30
    - 24% soot
    - 13’5% dextrin
    Once the tip is impregnated with the indicated flammable mixture (5), it is allowed to dry, covered with a resin varnish and allowed to dry again.
    The incense paste (1) with which the longitudinal wood core is lined can be of any composition that has sufficient consistency to coat it.
    Traditionally, a mixture of wood dust, coal and 5 vegetable resins is usually used. The composition and proportion of the latter is responsible for the subtle and delicate aroma that emerges when the incense burns. In addition, herbs and other components that modify the aroma and the speed at which it is consumed are usually added.
    As already indicated, once prepared, the paste (1) is wrapped around the wood core (2), leaving exposed about 5 cm from the end (4) that has been chemically prepared.
    Subsequently, the rod is coated with a mixture of coal and aromatic woods to facilitate the drying of the incense paste.
    The rod is exposed to the weather for about 48 hours, so that the dough settles on the rod and excess moisture is eliminated, resulting from the process of making the paste.
    Once it is sufficiently dry, essential oils are added, which are what give it its characteristic fragrance. After this phase, it is left to rest again in the open air (only a few hours, preferably at night) so that the oil penetrates and the excess moisture is eliminated. twenty
    Optionally, incisions (6) can be made at a certain distance from the tip impregnated with the flammable mass (5), such as 3 cm from it, so that that portion of the longitudinal core (2) can be separated; so that you can approach the opposite end and light the incense easily.
    Logically, this process can be carried out simultaneously for a large number of 25 hollow incense sticks, so that its elaboration is more efficient phase by phase.
    Once the nature of the present invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it only remains to be added that said invention may undergo certain variations in form and materials, as long as said alterations do not substantially vary the characteristics claimed below. .
