Abstract
A candle maintenance tool assembly for trimming and cutting a wick of a candle includes a lighter that has a handle and an elongated ignition tube extending away from the handle. The elongated ignition tube can be extended into a candle. The elongated ignition tube produces a flame when the lighter is actuated to ignite a wick of the candle. A cutting unit is movably integrated into the handle and the cutting unit is actuatable into a cutting condition to cut the wick of the candle to a desired length.
Claims6
A candle maintenance tool assembly for trimming a wick of a candle and lighting the wick of the candle, said assembly comprising:
- a lighter having a handle and an elongated ignition tube extending away from said handle wherein said elongated ignition tube is configured to be extended into a candle, said elongated ignition tube producing a flame when said lighter is actuated wherein said lighter is configured to ignite a wick of the candle;
- a cutting unit being movably integrated into said handle, said cutting unit being actuatable into a cutting condition wherein said cutting unit is configured to cut the wick of the candle to a desired length;
- wherein said handle has a front end and a back end, said handle being elongated between said front end and said back end, said handle having a trigger being movably integrated into said handle wherein said trigger is configured to be manipulated, said elongated ignition tube having a distal end with respect to said handle, said distal end being open, said back end of said handle having a well extending toward said front end wherein said back end is configured to insertably receive the wick of the candle into said well;
- and
- wherein said cutting unit comprises a cutter being movably integrated into said handle, said cutter being positioned within said well inset from said back end of said handle such that said cutter is configured for cutting the wick when the wick is positioned to extend within said well, said cutter extending through said well in said back end of said handle when said cutter is urged into a cutting position, said cutter being biased into a retracted position having said cutter being displaced from said well.

- a lighter having a handle and an elongated ignition tube extending away from said handle wherein said elongated ignition tube is configured to be extended into a candle, said elongated ignition tube producing a flame when said lighter is actuated wherein said lighter is configured to ignite a wick of candle, said handle having a front end and a back end, said handle being elongated between said front end and said back end, said handle having a trigger being movably integrated into said handle wherein said trigger is configured to be manipulated, said elongated ignition tube having a distal end with respect to said handle, said distal end being open, said back end of said handle having a well extending toward said front end wherein said back end is configured to insertably receive the wick of the candle;
- a fuel reservoir being positioned within said handle wherein said fuel reservoir is configured to contain a combustible fuel, said fuel reservoir having an outlet;
- a valve being positioned within said handle, said valve having an inlet and an exhaust, said inlet being fluidly coupled to said outlet of said fuel reservoir wherein said valve is configured to receive the combustible fuel from said fuel reservoir, said valve being adjustable between a minimum flow rate and a maximum flow rate wherein said valve is configured to release the combustible fuel between a minimum rate and a maximum rate;
- a switch being slidably integrated into said handle, said switch being mechanically coupled to said valve, said switch actuating said valve between said minimum flow rate and said maximum flow rate wherein said switch is configured to adjust the release of the combustible fuel between the minimum rate and the maximum rate;
- a fuel conduit being positioned in said elongated tube, said fuel conduit extending between said exhaust of said valve and said distal end of said elongated tube, said fuel conduit being fluidly coupled to said exhaust of said valve wherein said fuel conduit is configured to direct the combustible fuel to said distal end of said elongated tube;
- an ignitor being integrated into said handle, said ignitor being in communication with said trigger, said ignitor being actuated when said trigger is depressed, said ignitor producing an electrical current when said ignitor is actuated;
- a conductor being electrically coupled to said ignitor, said conductor extending to said distal end of said elongated tube, said conductor having a contact being electrically coupled to said conductor wherein said contact is configured to produce a spark when said ignitor is actuated, said contact being disposed in said distal end of said elongated tube wherein said contact is configured to ignite the combustible fuel;
- and
- a cutting unit being movably integrated into said handle, said cutting unit being actuatable into a cutting condition wherein said cutting unit is configured to cut the wick of the candle to a desired length, said cutting unit comprising:
- a cutter being movably integrated into said handle said cutter being positioned within said well inset from said back end of said handle such that said cutter is configured for cutting the wick when the wick is positioned to extend within said well, said cutter extending through said well in said back end of said handle when said cutter is urged into a cutting position, said cutter being biased into a retracted position having said cutter being displaced from said well;
- and
- a button being movably integrated into said handle, said button being positioned proximate said well, said button being in mechanical communication with said cutter, said cutter being urged into said cutting position when said button is depressed.
