Abstract: In a combustion appliance provided with a combustion wick for sucking up a liquid fuel by the utilization of capillarity and burning it, functions for automatically extinguishing the fire after the combustion has been carried out for a predetermined length of time are constituted with a simple mechanism. The combustion wick (6), which comprises a sucking section for sucking up a liquid fuel by the utilization of capillarity and a burning section for burning the sucked-up liquid fuel, is divided at an intermediate position into a burning section side subdivision (6A) and a sucking section side subdivision (6B). The combustion wick (6) is located such that at least either one of the subdivisions can be moved in a direction that comes into contact with the other and in a direction that separates from the other. The fuel is fed from the sucking section side subdivision (6B) to the burning section side subdivision (6A) when they are brought into contact with each other.

Abstract: A candle holder has candles mounted at each end of a pivoting balance arm. A snuffer is located above each candle. When the balance arm is balanced and one of the candles is lit then the lit candle will become lighter as fuel is consumed by combustion at its wick. When this happens the balance arm pivots so that the end of the balance arm bearing the lit candle rises. This continues until the lit candle is raised to a location at which it is extinguished by one of the snuffers. After the candle has been extinguished then the second candle may be lit. The candle holder prevents candles from continuing to burn for extended periods of time. The candle holder is interesting to watch in operation.

Abstract: A burning candle (5, 8) is provided with a sleeve (7, 7') of heat-shrinkable plastics. When affected by the heat generated by the flame (6) of the lit candle the sleeve (7, 7') shrinks and at least partly closes about the end of the candle (5, 8), thus extinguishing the candle flame (6).

Abstract: Thermomechanical candle snuffer utilizes staff of material such as 55-Nitinol which, when heated by candle flame, elevates slideably engaged cap which falls over candle extinguishing it.

Abstract: A packing member for securing a candle in a candle holder is in the form of a thin disk of polyurethane foam which has a diameter larger than the diameter of the candle butt and which is concentrically located with respect to the candle holder opening during insertion of the candle and packing member in the candle to encapsulate the butt end of the candle and firmly grip the candle. The disk is treated with dry chemical fire extinguishing components so that when the flame burns proximate the disk, carbon dioxide or other extinguishing gases are released to snuff out the candle.
