Candle flame extinguisher

A candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes a wick and a wickbase, the assembly comprising:

• a wax member, into which is embedded:
• a base;
• and
• a spring member coupled to the base, wherein the spring member comprises
• a material that is attracted to the wickbase,
• wherein the wax member is positionable in the candleholder and intermediate the candle and a base of the candleholder, the spring member being in an initially compressed position when embedded in the wax member;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle and wax member, the spring member is urged towards an extended and tilted position so that the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein.

A wax insert for use in a candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes a wick and a wickbase and the assembly comprises a platform including a first magnet having at least a first polarity, the wax insert comprising:

• a second magnet at least partially embedded therein, the second magnet being coupleable to the wickbase and having a first polarity that is repelled by the first polarity of the first magnet;
• wherein the wax insert is positionable in the candleholder and intermediate the candle and a base of the candleholder, the second magnet being initially oriented such that its first polarity is in alignment with the first polarity of the first magnet;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle and wax insert, a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the respective first polarities of the first and second magnet causes the second magnet to be urged away from the first magnet;
• wherein the wax insert is tapered so as to ensure an alignment of the same polarities of both the first and second magnets;
• and
• whereby the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein due in part to the wickbase being coupled to the second magnet.

A method of extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes a wick and a wickbase, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a magnet intermediate a bottom of the candleholder and the wickbase;
• coupling the magnet to the wickbase;
• allowing the candle to burn sufficiently so that the magnet can be urged upward and rotated in the candleholder;
• and
• causing the flame to be extinguished in the melted wax formed from the sufficient burning of the candle by the rotation of the wick due in part to the wickbase being coupled to the magnet.

A candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes a wick and a wickbase, the assembly comprising:

• a platform on which the candleholder is positionable, wherein the platform includes a magnet having at least a first polarity in an orientation that creates a repelling force between the first magnet and the wickbase;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the first polarity of the first magnet causes the wickbase to be urged away from the magnet;
• and
• whereby the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein due in part to the wickbase being urged away from the magnet.

A candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes a wick, the assembly comprising:

• a platform, wherein the platform includes a first magnet having at least a first polarity;
• a second magnet, the second magnet having a first polarity that is repelled by the first polarity of the first magnet, wherein the second magnet is positionable in the candleholder and intermediate the candle and a base of the candleholder, the second magnet being initially oriented such that its first polarity is in alignment with the first polarity of the first magnet;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the respective first polarities of the first and second magnet causes the second magnet to be urged away from the first magnet;
• and
• wherein the urging of the second magnet away from the first magnet causes the candle to be tipped in a direction such that the wick is tipped towards the melted wax and extinguished therein.

A candle with a built in flame extinguishing assembly, the candle to be positioned in a candleholder which itself is positioned on a platform that itself comprises a magnet having at least a first polarity, the candle comprising:

• a wick connected to a wickbase;
• a second magnet, the second magnet being coupleable to the wickbase and having a first polarity that is repelled by the first polarity of the first magnet, wherein the second magnet is positionable in the candle and intermediate the wickbase and a base of the candleholder, the second magnet being initially oriented such that its first polarity is in alignment with the first polarity of the first magnet;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the respective first polarities of the first and second magnet causes the second magnet to be urged away from the first magnet;
• and
• whereby the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein due in part to the wickbase being coupled to the second magnet.

A candle flame extinguisher assembly for extinguishing a flame of a candle positioned in a candleholder, wherein the candle includes at least a wick, the assembly comprising:

• a first magnet, positioned outside the candleholder, such that the base of the candleholder is intermediate a bottom of the candle and the first magnet, wherein the first magnet has at least a first polarity;
• a second magnetic material, the second magnetic material being coupleable to the wick and having a first polarity that is repelled by the first polarity of the first magnet, wherein the second magnetic material is positionable in the candleholder, the second magnetic material being initially oriented such that its first polarity is in alignment with the first polarity of the first magnet;
• wherein upon a sufficient melting of the candle a puddling of melted wax is formed and the repelling force between the respective first polarities of the first magnet and second magnetic material causes the second magnetic material to be urged away from the first magnet;
• and
• whereby the wick is tipped in a direction towards the melted wax and extinguished therein due in part to the wick being coupled to the second magnetic material.
