Description

Duftlampe zum Verdampfen ätherischen Lavendel-Öls zur Vertreibung von Mücken.Fragrance lamp for vaporizing essential lavender oil to repel mosquitoes.

Die handelsüblichen Duftlampen sind in Form und Material nicht fur die besonderen Anforderungen auf Schiffen (Segelschiffe) geeignet, da sie entweder elektrisch betrieben werden, oder (bei Betrieb mittels Kerze) bezüglich Material und Konstruktion den gehobenen Sicherheitsanforderungen an den Betrieb nicht standhalten. Dies geht auch aus den artverwandten Gebrauchsmusteranmeldungen hervor:The shape and material of the commercially available scented lamps are not suitable for the special requirements on ships (sailing ships), as they are either electrically operated or (when operated by candle) do not meet the higher safety requirements for operation in terms of material and construction. This is also evident from the related utility model applications:

Die im Schutzanspruch angegebene Erfindung geht von der Beobachtung aus, daß verdampfendes Lavendelöl einen wirkungsvollen Schutz gegen Mücken bietet. Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Duftlampe so zu konstruieren, daß ein reibungsloses Verdampfen ätherischen Lavendel-Öls unter den besonderen Gegebenheiten eines Segelschiffes ermöglicht wird. Hierbei ist besonders der Schutz vor Brandgefahr hervorzuheben.The invention specified in the protection claim is based on the observation that evaporating lavender oil offers effective protection against mosquitoes. The invention is based on the problem of constructing an aroma lamp in such a way that a smooth evaporation of essential lavender oil is possible under the special conditions of a sailing ship. The protection against the risk of fire is particularly important here.

Die Lösung des Problems:The solution of the problem:

• Das Grundprinzip für das Verdampfen von in Wasser gelöstem ätherischen Lavendel-Öl wird mittels der Verwendung einer Kerze realisiert.• The basic principle for evaporating lavender essential oil dissolved in water is achieved by using a candle.

• Ein Metallgehäuse (1) ist derart konstruiert, daß zwischen der Kerze (3) und dem Wasserreservoir (2) (in dem sich das ätherische Lavendelöl befindet) ein Glaszylinder (4) angebracht ist. Dieser Zylinder verhindert, daß Zugluft an die Flamme kommt und sorgt zugleich für einen Schutz gegen unbeabsichtigtes &ldquor;Herausfallen" der Flamme.• A metal housing (1) is constructed in such a way that a glass cylinder (4) is placed between the candle (3) and the water reservoir (2) (which contains the essential lavender oil). This cylinder prevents drafts from reaching the flame and at the same time provides protection against the flame accidentally "falling out".

• In diesen geschlossenen Raum wird mittels Schraubgewinde die zuvor entflammte Kerze (3) eingeschraubt.• The previously lit candle (3) is screwed into this closed space using a screw thread.

• Die für die Verbrennung notwendige Luft wird derart durch die Mückenlampe geleitet, daß ein Herausfallen der Flamme (Docht) selbst bei schweren Erschütterungen nicht möglich ist (Vermeidung der Brandgefahr durch offenes Licht).• The air required for combustion is passed through the mosquito lamp in such a way that the flame (wick) cannot fall out even in the event of severe shocks (avoiding the risk of fire from open flames).

• Mittels einer Aufhängevorrichtung (5) kommt die Mückenlampe nur hängend zum Einsatz, was wiederum der Brandgefahr (durch Umfallen oder Umstoßen der Mückenlampe) entgegenwirkt.• Using a hanging device (5), the mosquito lamp can only be used in a hanging position, which in turn counteracts the risk of fire (due to the mosquito lamp falling over or being knocked over).

• Auch bei starken Schlingerbewegungen des Schiffes verhindert die Konstruktion ein Überlaufen des Wassers, sowie des schmelzenden Kerzenwachses.• Even when the ship is rolling heavily, the construction prevents water from overflowing and melting candle wax.

Neben dieser Grundfunktion als Mückenschutz kann diese Mückenlampe aufgrund der Verwendung von Kerzen zugleich als Lichtquelle verwendet werden. Auch das Verdampfen ätherischer Öle anderer Herkunft und anderer Wirkungsweisen ist möglich.In addition to this basic function as a mosquito repellent, this mosquito lamp can also be used as a light source thanks to the use of candles. It is also possible to vaporize essential oils of other origins and with other effects.

Claims

The fragrance lamp has a cylindrical shape in the proportions of 3 (height) to 2
(diameter) (see sketch). The housing is made of brass and consists of
Essentially consists of an upper housing part (la) and a lower housing part (Ib). The two housing parts are connected by means of three spacer rods (brass) through simple and
screwed together using screw connections that can be removed at any time. A movable wire bracket (5) (brass) is attached to the upper part of the housing and is used to hang the mosquito lamp.

The two housing parts (la & Ib) have some identical features.

• They are manufactured in such a way that when screwed together, a glass cylinder made of heat-resistant glass (4) is flush with the frame.

• They each have an air duct system that consists of two parts: firstly, a horizontal ring-shaped recess that runs all the way around and is accessible from the outside, and secondly, a vertical hole circle of 12 holes that connects
between the interior of the mosquito lamp cylinder and the horizontal recess.

• Three of the 12 holes of the air duct system are made in such a way that the three
Spacer rods can be connected to the housing part via a screw connection. The spacers have a drilled blind thread M4 at each end. The screws are inserted through the respective housing part into the blind holes of the
Spacers attached

The upper part of the housing has a special feature

• a pot-like container (2) which has a circular opening at the top. The diameter of the opening is approximately half the diameter of the clear width of the
pot.

The lower housing part has a special feature

• a vertically continuous threaded opening. In this threaded opening a
Candle holder (3) screwed.

• This candle holder (3) has the shape of a cylindrical pot, with a
Inner diameter that corresponds to a tealight (candle). The candle holder has a thread on its outside that fits exactly into the threaded opening of the lower
housing part (Ib). At the lower edge of the candle holder there is a grip edge with a larger diameter than the threaded opening. When assembled, the grip edge serves as a stop for the candle holder on the lower housing part.
