ABSTRACT:
A self-extinguishing candle is described, comprising a candle body made of wax or other suitable fuel. One or more series of wick appliances having an internal hollow channel are longitudinally disposed within the candle body. A single length of wick traverses through the collinear channels of each series of wick appliances. Within each wick appliance the section of wick therein is formed into a wick contraction. The wick contraction may be formed by bending, folding, spiraling, coiling, gathering or furling the section of wick, thereby increasing the overall length of wick contained within the interior of each wick appliance.
