Abstract
A candle wick trimming assembly includes a pair of scissors that are extendable downwardly into a candle jar for trimming a wick of the candle. A first box is coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors and the first box abuts a top of the candle. A first blade is coupled to the first box and the first blade is spaced approximately 3.0 mm from the top of the candle when the first box is positioned on the top of the candle. A second box is coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors and the second box is urged toward the first box when the scissors are closed. A second blade is coupled to the second box and the second blade engages the first blade when the scissors are closed to cut the wick.

A candle wick trimming assembly being configured to trim a wick on a candle and collect the trimmings, the assembly comprising:
- a pair of scissors each having a handle end for gripping and a distal end with respect to the handle end, the scissors being extendable downwardly into a candle jar for trimming a wick of the candle;
- a first box being coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors, the first box abutting a top of the candle when the scissors are extended into the candle jar, the first box having an opening extending into an interior of the first box;
- a first blade being coupled to the first box, the first blade being spaced approximately 3.0 mm from the top of the candle when the first box is positioned on the top of the candle wherein the first blade is configured to trim the wick to the optimum length for minimizing soot when the wick is burned, the first blade cutting the wick in the candle when the scissors are closed on the wick;
- a second box being coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors, the second box being urged toward the first box when the scissors are closed;
- and
- a second blade being coupled to the second box, the second blade engaging the first blade when the scissors are closed for cutting the wick.
A candle wick trimming assembly being configured to trim a wick on a candle and collect the trimmings, the assembly comprising:
- a pair of scissors each having a handle end for gripping and a distal end with respect to the handle end, the distal end of each of the scissors being urged toward each other when the scissors are closed, the distal end of each of the scissor being urged away from each other when the scissors are opened, the scissors being extendable downwardly into a candle jar for trimming a wick of the candle;
- a first box being coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors, the first box abutting a top of the candle when the scissors are extended into the candle jar, the first box having an opening extending into an interior of the first box, the first box having a top wall, a bottom wall and an outer wall extending therebetween, the outer wall having a front side and a back side, the opening being positioned on the first side, the back side being open, the top wall being coupled to the distal end of the respective scissor;
- a first blade being coupled to the first box, the first blade being spaced approximately 3.0 mm from the top of the candle when the first box is positioned on the top of the candle wherein the first blade is configured to trim the wick to the optimum length for minimizing soot when the wick is burned, the first blade cutting the wick in the candle when the scissors are closed on the wick, the first blade being positioned on the front side of the outer wall of the first box, the first blade extending along a line being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the scissors, the first blade being positioned beneath the opening in the first box such that the opening receives trimmings from the wick;
- a door being hingedly coupled to the back side of the outer wall of the first box to close the back side, the door being opened to empty the trimmings from the first box;
- a second box being coupled to the distal end of a respective one of the scissors, the second box being urged toward the first box when the scissors are closed, the second box having an upper wall, a lower wall and an exterior wall extending therebetween, the exterior wall having a forward side, the upper wall being coupled to the distal end of the respective scissor having the forward side of the exterior wall of the second box being directed toward the front side of the outer wall of the first box, the forward side having a protrusion thereon;
- and
- a second blade being coupled to the second box, the second blade engaging the first blade when the scissors are closed for cutting the wick, the second blade extending along a line being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the scissors, the second blade being positioned on the protrusion on the forward side of the exterior wall of the second box, the protrusion entering the opening in the first box when the scissors are closed thereby urging the trimming into the opening.
