Abstract
The safe incense evaporator has a bowl, a flat lid covering the bowl, and a cap or dome defining a chamber above the lid. The bowl defines a basin, and a crucible is concentrically seated at the top of the basin. The basin allows water to surround the crucible. Very small orifices are defined in a central area of the lid, and are also defined in the dome to allow the scent of burning incense to leave the evaporator. The crucible is adapted for holding incense coal or charcoal used to burn or heat incense. The evaporator may have a latch holding the cap onto the bowl in case the evaporator tips over onto its side so that the coals or charcoal will be extinguished by the water from the basin. The evaporator may also have a dual latch or lock to prevent children from tampering with the evaporator.
Claims18
A safe incense evaporator, comprising:
- a bowl having a bottom and an open top;
- a crucible concentrically fixed to the bottom of the bowl, the crucible having an open upper end adapted for receiving an incense coal for burning incense, the bowl defining a basin surrounding the crucible adapted for holding a pool of water extending upward towards the open top of the crucible;
- a flat removable lid covering the open top of the bowl, the lid having a central region and a plurality of orifices defined in the central region;
- a cap disposed over the top of the bowl, the cap having a plurality of orifices defined therein and a bottom wall having a plurality of orifices defined therein alignable with the orifices in the removable lid;
- and
- at least one latch securing the cap to the bowl and sealing the lid between the bowl and the cap, the cap defining a chamber above the lid;
- whereby aroma from incense burning in the crucible leaves the bowl through the aligned orifices in the removable lid and the bottom wall of the cap and exits the chamber above the lid to ambient air through the orifices in the cap;
- and
- whereby burning incense coals falling out of the crucible when the evaporator is tipped are extinguished in the pool of water.
An incense evaporator, comprising a container having:
- a burner chamber, including:
- a basin having a floor;
- a crucible adapted for burning incense, the crucible being concentrically mounted in the basin and fixed to the floor of the basin, the crucible having a lower portion, the basin defining a well around the lower portion of the crucible;
- and
- water disposed within the well;
- an aroma chamber, including a cover mounted over the basin, the cover having a plurality of vent holes defined therein for releasing the aroma of the burning incense to ambient air;
- a divider wall selectively disposed between the burner chamber and the aroma chamber, the divider wall having a plurality of centrally disposed inter-chamber air passages defined therein for passage of the aroma of burning incense from the burner chamber to the aroma chamber, the divider wall defining the largest diameter of the evaporator;
- and
- at least one latch securing and sealing the cover to the basin with a watertight seal and the divider wall disposed between the chambers;
- whereby a burning incense coal is extinguished in the water well when the burning intense coal falls out of the crucible.
