Abstract

A candlewick trimmer includes an elongate housing and a lever pivotally mounting to the housing. The lever includes a cutter extending from the pivot having a cutting edge in the housing and spaced from one end of the housing. The lever also includes an actuator or trigger outside of the housing that moves the cutting edge. The end of the housing is sized to enable the trimmer to trim the wicks of jar candles and multiple-wick candles.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a cutting tool, particularly a cutting tool for trimming candlewicks.

A candle with too-long a wick burns with a large, smoky flame. The large flame consumes the candle quickly, and smoke dis...
