Candle enhancement device that is a safety sinking snuffer and follower designed to extinguish the flame on a displaced wick and assists in retaining a wick within a central position, in even melting of wax and in reducing wax buildup on the inner surfaces of the vessel

Abstract

My invention relates to candle accessories and is a safety sinking snuffer and candle follower designed to extinguish the flame on a displaced wick and assist in retaining a wick within a central position, in even melting of wax and in reducing wax buildup on the inner surfaces of the vessel containing a candle. Its' unique design to achieves the above stated functions allows it to operation in varying placements within the vessel; while on the top surface of the candle and during the burning process while within the molten wax layer on the top surface of the solidified wax below.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This condition results in eventual candle failure as the un-molten wax remains and or builds-up on the inner surfaces of the vessel causing less available air and a number of other factors that lead to the eventual situation whereby the wick is unable to sustain a flame.

Generally a minor to mildly displaced wick will allow the candle to burn somewhat properly for a period of time but eventually the aforesaid condition causes the flame to decrease in intensity to the point that it becomes unable to generate enough heat to melt the solidified wax into a molten wax and as the flame is dependent on the wick absorbing molten wax to use as fuel for the flame, the eventuality of the aforesaid condition is candle failure.

Burning a candle with a displaced wick is at risk
