Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/154,528, filed 26 Feb. 2021, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.

BACKGROUND

Prior candle extinguishers utilize some means for smothering a candle flame, either by capping or covering the end of the wick with a bell-shaped snuffer or flame extinguisher, or by pinching the wick itself between two surfaces. In each case, oxygen is excluded from the wick for a sufficient period or sufficient heat is withdrawn from the flame to extinguish the flame.

SUMMARY

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to candle snuffers and candle accessories. Candle extinguishers that operate by enclosing the wick may be advantageous in that they may minimize smoking of the wick when the candle flame is extinguished. Another common issue may be the spread of germs caused by blowing out a birthday candle with breath when no candle extinguisher device is used. Accordingly, there exists a need for safe and novel way for extinguishing candle flames, such as candles on birthday cakes, while not spreading germs.

In addition, prior candle extinguishers typically are not aesthetically pleasing and cannot be displayed or used as a toy. A candle cup cover incorporating custom figurine toppers may be swapped with others when not being used to extinguish candle flames (e.g., birthday candle flames). One problem, common to most types of candle extinguishers, is that accumulated hot wax and/or soot on the extinguisher can be transferred to the table or other resting surface on which the extinguisher is placed after being used to extinguish a candle flame. Consequently, the hot wax and/or soot can damage the table or resting surface on which the extinguisher is placed. The candle cup cover may incorporate a perimeter that raises portions of the extinguisher that may have been in contact with hot wax and/or soot off the resting surface.

In some implementations a flame extinguisher, other apparatus, or device is disclosed comprising a planar surface with a first end comprising a handle configured to be held by a hand, a second end affixed to a hollowed, geometric solid extending out of the planar surface, and a perimeter configured to prevent an underside of the planar surface opposite the hollowed, geometric solid from contacting a surface when laid down with the underside down. The hollowed, geometric solid may be a hollowed, conical solid. The hollowed, geometric solid may be sized to extinguish a candle flame when a lit wick is inserted into an interior space of the hollowed, geometric solid. The hollowed, geometric solid may comprise a material that is the same as a handle material and the material may be continuous from the handle to the hollowed, geometric solid. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may comprise one or more molded pieces of material. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may comprise 3-D printed materials. The hollow, geometric solid may further comprises a feature allowing for an attachment of an ornamental figure. The feature may be a rib on an outside perimeter of the hollow, geometric solid configured to snap into a groove of the ornamental figure. The feature may be a helical rib shaped like a screw on an outside perimeter of the hollow, geometric solid configured to interface with a helical groove of the ornamental figure.

In some implementations, a device is disclosed comprising a planar object and a hollowed, geometric solid. The planar object may comprise a first end comprising a handle and a second end comprising an aperture. The hollowed, geometric solid may be configured to be affixable to the aperture such that the hollowed, geometric solid extends out of the planar object from the aperture. The hollowed, geometric solid may be sized to extinguish a candle flame when a lit wick is inserted into an interior space of the hollowed, geometric solid. The hollowed, geometric solid may be a hollowed, conical solid. The hollowed, geometric solid may be formed from a material that is the same as a handle material. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may be formed in one or more molds. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may be created from a 3-D printer. The hollowed, geometric solid may comprise a feature allowing for attachment of an ornamental figure. The feature may be a rib on an outside perimeter of the hollowed, geometric solid configured to snap into a groove of the ornamental figure. The feature may be a helical rib shaped like a screw on an outside perimeter of the hollowed, geometric solid configured to interface with a helical groove of the ornamental figure.

In some implementations, a process is disclosed for creating a flame extinguisher device. The process may comprise form forming a handle with a first end configured to be held by a hand, forming a second end of the handle, forming a hollowed, geometric solid extending out of a plane of the second end of the handle, and forming a perimeter of the handle. The perimeter of the handle may prevent an underside of the handle opposite the hollowed, geometric solid from contacting a surface when laid down with the underside down. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may be formed in one or more molds. The handle and the hollowed, geometric solid may be created from a 3-D printer.

In some implementations, an apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing birthday candle flames in a safe manner preventing the need to physically blow out the birthday candle eliminating the chance to contaminate the product under the birthday candle. The apparatus may further comprise a hollowed cone attached to an elongated fishlike shape with a larger rounded outer perimeter to minimize surface contact with the hollowed cone and affixed into position held by a ribbed torus shape. In some implementations, the apparatus may resemble the shape of a fish. The apparatus may comprise a custom figurine topper. The apparatus may comprise an outer round perimeter, which is taller than a surface of the apparatus and wherein the outer round perimeter supports the apparatus in a horizontal position such that extinguishing members do not contact the support surface. In some implementations, the custom figurine topper may be detachable from the apparatus. In some implementations, the hollowed cone may comprise a ribbed torus shape to hold the custom figurine topper.

The present disclosure concerns a candle extinguisher referred to in this disclosure as a candle cup cover or (“Candle Cup Cover”). The candle cup cover, in some implementations, may be useful for extinguishing flames such as candle flames. For example, a candle flame on a birthday cake may be extinguished without the potential spread of germs while affixable collectable custom figurine toppers can be swapped with other candle cup cover owners.

A candle cup cover may be for extinguishing birthday candle flames in a safe manner and has a custom figurine topper which can be swapped out with other candle cup cover custom figurine toppers. In some implementations, the candle cup cover includes a hollowed cone attached to an elongated fishlike shape with a larger round perimeter to ensure the candle cup cover underside does not contact the surface it is laid onto after use.

In some implementations candle cup cover is fish-like shaped apparatus with a cone shape on one end, which allows custom figurine toppers to be attached and displayed as a decorative or game piece when the apparatus is not being used to extinguish a birthday candle flame. In addition, the candle cup cover may be used with other multiple color candle cup cover owners. The apparatus also includes a rounded bottom perimeter to support for placing on a surface, with the outer ring being designed to support the candle cup cover such that the extinguishing underside cone does not contact the support surface. Desirably, the candle cup cover is designed to support the holder in a horizontal position. In a disclosed embodiment, the candle cup cover custom figurine toppers can be removed from the candle cup cover and replaced with other candle cup cover custom figurine toppers but may comprise of a different look, size, color and or material. A method of using a candle cup cover according to one embodiment includes extinguishing a birthday candle flame with the candle cup cover. After extinguishing the candle flame, the candle cup cover is supported in a horizontal position on a surface to minimize the candle cup cover underside from touching the support surface. These and other features of the invention will be more fully appreciated when the following detailed description of the invention is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1A is an illustration of a candle cup cover 100 in a perspective view according to two example implementations. FIG. 1B is a version of the illustration of FIG. 1A of a candle cup cover in a perspective view according to two example implementations. In some implementations, the candle cup cover 100 comprises a containment piece 110, a handle piece 120, a helical rib 210, and a perimeter 140. The containment piece 110 may be conical and hollowed, such that the hollowed conical solid that comprised the containment piece 110 extends out from a plane formed by the handle piece 120. While a conical shape is illustrated for the containment piece 110, other geometrical solid shapes may be used. The helical rib 210 may be present on an outside perimeter of the geometrical solid shape of the containment piece 110. The helical rib 210 may extend out of the outside surface of the containment piece 110. The helical rib 210 may be configured to screw into a corresponding groove (e.g., helical groove 1110) in an ornamental piece that attaches to the outside of the containment piece 110. In another implementation (not shown), a helical rib may instead extend out the inside surface of the ornamental piece and interface with a corresponding groove on the outside of the containment piece. The perimeter 140 may be affixed to all edges of the handle piece 120. In some implementations, the perimeter 140 may not be continuous, but only affixed to certain portions of the edges of the handle piece 120. The perimeter 140 may be configured to prevent the underside of the handle piece 120 from contacting a surface when the candle cup cover 100 is placed upon the surface. The containment piece 110 may be formed from a material that is contiguous with the material of the handle piece 120. For example, both the handle piece 120 and the containment piece 110 may be formed from a single mold using injection molded plastic. Other materials such as metal, glass, ceramic, etc., may be used. In some implementations, biodegradable materials may be used. In some implementations, thermoplastics may be used that are primarily based on castor beans. For example, a thermoplastic may be used based on castor beans that is a long chain polyamide 4-10 (PA 4-10) grade reinforced with glass fiber. For example, 30% glass fiber may be used for reinforcement. In other implementations, the containment piece 110 may attach to the handle piece 120. For, example, the containment piece may contain a groove that allows it to snap into a cutout in the handle piece 120.

Continuing with FIGS. 1A and 1B, in some implementations, the candle cup cover 100 comprises a containment piece 110, a handle piece 120, a rib 130, and a perimeter 140.

While a conical shape is illustrated for the containment piece 110, other geometrical solid shapes may be used. A rib 130 may be present on an outside perimeter of the geometrical solid shape of the containment piece 110. The rib 130 may extend out of the outside surface of the containment piece 110. The rib 130 may be configured to interact and/or snap into a corresponding groove in an ornamental piece that attaches to the outside of the containment piece 110. The perimeter 140 may be affixed to all edges of the handle piece 120. In some implementations (not shown) the rib may instead be on the inside surface of the ornamental piece and configured to interact and/or snap into a corresponding groove on the outside of the containment piece. In some implementations, the perimeter 140 may not be continuous, but only affixed to certain portions of the edges of the handle piece 120. The perimeter 140 may be configured to prevent the underside of the handle piece 120 from contacting a surface when the candle cup cover 100 is placed upon the surface. The containment piece 110 may be formed from a material that is contiguous with the material of the handle piece 120. For example, both the handle piece 120 and the containment piece 110 may be formed from a single mold using injection molded plastic. Other materials such as metal, glass, ceramic, etc., may be used. In some implementations, biodegradable materials may be used. In some implementations, thermoplastics may be used that are primarily based on castor beans. For example, a thermoplastic may be used based on castor beans that is a long chain polyamide 4-10 (PA 4-10) grade reinforced with glass fiber. For example, 30% glass fiber may be used for reinforcement. In other implementations, the containment piece 110 may attach to the handle piece 120.
