Definitions

  • This document relates generally to incense, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a method and an apparatus for self-igniting incense, such as incense cones, incense core sticks, and incense solid sticks, and the like.
  • incense The origin of incense can be traced back to very ancient times, as far back as the Arabicians or even the Egyptians and used for religious ceremonies.
  • India the religious rituals may have used as part of the ritual, a sacred fire using herbs, sandalwood and clarified butter (e.g., ghee) was lit.
  • the fragrant smoke that was emitted symbolized the rising of the human spirit. This lingering fragrance created a feeling of peace and tranquility.
  • incense have replaced this elaborate ritual and become a means of purifying the mind as well as the atmosphere.
  • incense has been used in many different ways. For instance, incense may be used as an insect repellant. Incense may also be used as offerings at places of worship, such as temples.
  • Perfumed incense may be used in homes, offices, and public places as air-fresheners. Incense may also be configured in various ways such as pellets, tabs, cones, stick forms, and the like. Incense also is provided in many colors (e.g., from basic black and brown to colors that indicate a pleasing aromatic smell such as purple for a lavender smell) as well as many aromatic smells or flavors.
  • One feature of incense is that it burns of its own accord, once lit. Typically, a match, a lighter, or some means of providing a flame to the incense is utilized to start burning the incense. A need is to have an ability to light the incense without an external source of a flame such as a match.
  • a device and method are provided for a self-igniting incense device.
  • the device includes a first portion configured to be a slow burning combustible incense material; and a second portion that is configured to be coated onto the first portion, where the second portion when struck against a surface ignites the first portion to initiate burning.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of commercially available incense sticks found in the prior art.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a self-ignitable incense stick in accordance with an embodiment of the invention described herein.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a plurality of containers having a surface on which the self-ignitable incense stick of FIG. 2 may be struck in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a flow chart describing a method of manufacturing the self-ignitable incense stick of FIG. 2 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the process of dipping the incense stick to create a head on the tip of the incense stick in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an incense stick with a self-igniting head in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a self-igniting incense stick where the head is covered by a first portion of incense material in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a self-igniting incense stick where the head is sandwiched between multiple layers of incense material in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an incense stick 10 that may be commercially found in the marketplace and is an example of the prior art.
  • an external source to ignite the incense stick 10 In order to cause the incense stick 10 to burn, an external source to ignite the incense stick 10 must be used, such as a match, a lighter, a candle and the like. Without such an external source, the incense stick 10 will not burn and the useful properties of the incense stick 10 cannot be used, whether the incense stick 10 is used as an aromatic device, as a bug repellant, or for religious purification purposes. In a cluttered urban environment or even a simple rural environment, one has to find a source to ignite the incense. Without such a combustion source, the incense is virtually useless and does not function. In addition, the use of matches causes additional wood to be consumed. Eliminating the use of matches to ignite incense would be environmentally "friendly". Therefore, there is a need for incense to be ignited without the use of a separate device.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a self-igniting incense stick 20 that does not require any external flammable source.
  • the self-igniting incense stick 20 has a head 22.
  • Incense stick 20 may burn when the head 22 is struck against a surface 32 (shown in FIG. 3).
  • Figure 3 illustrates a rectangular shaped box 30 and a cylinder 30 having a surface 32.
  • the box 30 and cylinder 30 may be used as packaging material for the incense stick 20.
  • any form factor may be used to package the incense sticks 20.
  • the surface 32 may be any rough surface that may be composed of a variety of rough materials that create a required amount of friction to ignite the head 22, (e.g., the second portion) to start the combustion process.
  • the surface 32 may contain surface chemicals that may interact with the chemicals in the head 22 to ignite the incense stick 20 and cause the incense stick to burn.
  • the surface chemicals may include red phosphorus, starch, powdered glass, inert fillers, and an adhesive such as glue, gum Arabic or urea formaldehyde, and the like.
  • the incense stick 20 may be struck against any surface that provides enough friction to cause the chemicals in the head 22 to start combustion and to ignite thereby resulting in the incense to burn.
  • the incense stick 20 may be struck against a surface containing chemicals that react with the chemicals in the head 22 to start combustion (e.g., similar to a safety match).
  • FIG. 4 is a flow chart 40 that illustrates one methodology for the preparation of an incense stick 20.
  • wood glue, sawdust, charcoal powder or Masala powder is combined with a liquid, such as water, to form an ignitable first portion 12, (e.g., Agarbatti paste).
  • a core cylindrical structure such as a piece of bamboo is rolled onto an ignitable first portion 12 (e.g., the Agarbatti paste).
  • the bamboo may provide a supporting structure 14 for an incense stick.
  • the supporting structure 14 may be replaced by sandalwood or any thin, stick like structure (e.g., and in some cases may be a thin metal wire).
  • the core may, therefore, be composed of a substance that burns or one that does not burn.
  • the ignitable first portion 12 may be a combustible material that is composed of sawdust, charcoal powder, incense powder, resin, Masala powder and the like.
  • Materials used to make the ignitable first portion 12 into incense sticks may be charcoal powder, sawdust, sage, cedar, agar wood, mugwort, frankincense, and other compounds typically known that provide a slow burning and may or may not release smoke when burned.
  • Essential oils and artificial fragrances that may be derived from chemical synthesis, as well as liquid aromatics may also be used for scenting incense.
  • the first portion 12 typically contains material that binds the various materials such as the combustible material and the fragrant material together. Gums such as gum Arabic may be used to bind the mixture together. Fragrant materials may be combined into the base prior to formation as in the case of powdered incense materials or they may be combined after formation of the first portion 12 as in the case of essential oils. In an embodiment, a fragrance may be applied in a liquid form where the stick is dipped into the fragrance.
  • Burning of the incense stick may be induced and sustained by the addition of an oxidizer such as sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate.
  • the ignitable first portion is manufactured such that when it burns, a self-sustaining ember slowly propagates along a shaft of the incense stick or down an incense cone. A spontaneous combustion is undesirable compared to a slow burn.
  • incense burns with such regularity that it may be used to mark time.
  • the incense stick may also be broken in smaller segments by the user, if the user does not desire to burn the entire incense stick.
  • the ignitable first portion 12 is combined with a wooden powder for insulation.
