PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems in which: an incense stick generally has a circular column shape, and an end and a central part of the incense stick have the same shape when the incense sticks are bundled, there is no gap between the ends of respective incense sticks and air is hard to enter and therefore, it is difficult to ignite the incense sticks.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, a plurality of incense sticks are bundled and are ignited simultaneously, and the incense sticks are constituted so that, in the bundled state, the ends of adjacent incense sticks are separated from one another and air gaps are generated. Ignition becomes very easy as air enters into the air gaps.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 一般の線香は円柱形でその端部も中央部も同一形状であり、それらを束ねると各線香の端部の間に隙間がなく、空気が入り難くなるため着火し難い。【解決手段】 本発明は、複数本が束ねられて同時に着火される線香であって、束ねられた状態で、隣接する線香の端部が相互に離間し空隙が形成されるように構成された線香である。前記空隙に空気が入り込むと、着火がきわめて容易となる。【選択図】図1
