  • Patent number: 6799965
    Abstract: A candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder including a platform, wherein the platform includes a first magnet having at least a first polarity; a second magnet, the second magnet being coupleable to the wickbase and having a first polarity that is repelled by the first polarity of the first magnet; wherein the second magnet is positionable in the candleholder and intermediate the candle and a base of the candleholder, the second magnet being initially oriented such that its first polarity is in alignment with the first polarity of the first magnet; wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the respective first polarities of the first and second magnet causes the second magnet to be urged away from the first magnet; and whereby the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein due in part to the wickbase being coupled to the second magnet.
