Description
Stable candle stand including magnet The present invention relates to a stable candle stand equipped with a magnet. Candles are often sold housed inside a cylindrical housing. The bottom of the housing is sealed with a metal cap. The wick is crucial for combustion, and since the candle shortens as it burns, a structure is required to maintain an upright position. When placing candles indoors in homes, temples, or buildings, it is common practice to construct the base of the housing from a heavy material and place it on a desk or floor. However, when used for specific events or ceremonies, candles often need to be mounted at high places or installed on irregularly shaped bases. In such cases, standard cylindrical housings are prone to tipping over, and there is a risk of fire as the candle loses balance due to combustion. Regarding the use of magnets in candles, Utility Model No. 1989-0002119 discloses a pseudo-candle device that ignites a candle using a magnet. Patent No. 10-1174256 discloses a candle that performs pendulum and rotational motion by using a magnet as a stator and a coil around it as a rotor. Additionally, Utility Model No. 20-0495640 discloses a candle housing, which includes a plurality of extinguishing nozzles installed on the upper part of the housing. The present invention was devised to further improve the structure of the aforementioned prior patent and prior art, and in particular, taking into account that the lower surface of the housing is made of metal. FIG. 1 is a top view of the support of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the support. Figure 4 is a drawing illustrating a fixed stand made in the shape of a lotus lantern suitable for Buddhist events or ceremonies. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the completion of a candle stand by combining the support and the fixing member of the present invention. Figure 6 is a drawing showing an actual photograph of the final completed candle stand of the present invention with a cap on it. Figure 7 is a drawing showing an actual photograph of the support of the present invention. The present invention is capable of various modifications and may have various embodiments. Specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the specific details for carrying out the invention. However, this is not intended to limit the invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the invention includes all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention. First, the support (2) forming the stable candle stand (1) equipped with a magnet according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a top view of the support (2), FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the support (2). Referring to these drawings together, the support (2) is cylindrical in shape with a predetermined height. The exterior of the support (2) is covered by a circular housing (20) made of a polished metal material. On the upper surface of the support (2), the lower surface of a case made of a metal material not shown, which contains a candle, is mounted. The support (2) of the present invention functions to stably support the candle without shaking by using the magnetic force of a magnet to strongly attract the support (2) to the case. To this end, a ring-shaped magnet (3) is installed inside the housing (20). It is desirable that the thickness of the magnet (3) when viewed from a plane be large enough to reach half the planar surface area of the support (2) to provide sufficient magnetic force. As shown in FIG. 2, the magnet (3) has a height that protrudes sufficiently from the upper surface of the support (2). This is necessary to increase the suction force by reducing the distance from the lower part of the casing. A cylindrical stem (26) with a small diameter is formed in the center of the support (2). The stem (26) is hollow and extends in a long column shape to the lower surface of the support (2). The stem (26) may be made of metal, plastic, or transparent crystal or glass. A transparent base (24) on the support (2) is made of crystal or glass material and covers the upper surface of the support (2). The magnet (3) is fixed on the base (24), for example, with adhesive. The stem (26) can be separately assembled or attached to the central lower surface of the base (24), for example, using a metal material, or can be injection molded by insert molding. The support (2) described above is merely an example and does not limit the scope of the present invention; the shape, size, and material may be appropriately modified by a person skilled in the art. Next, the fixing member (4), which is another component forming the stable candle stand (1) equipped with a magnet according to the present invention, will be described. The fixing member (4) is a component to which the support member (2) is fixed, and is an ite
