ABSTRACT:
A candle for varying the flame intensity and extinguishing the flame when the candle becomes unstable. The candle includes a receptacle containing combustible fuel and terminating into an open end covered by a cap means having a central opening. An externally threaded hollow tubular member is secured to the cap. A wick extends through the cap opening and the tubular member, so that an upper tip of the wick protrudes out from the cylindrical member to provide the location for the candle flame, and a lower portion of the wick is immersed in the fuel. A flame adjuster for varying the intensity of the flame includes a collar and a ledge between the upper part and lower part of the collar. The collar is internally threaded to engage and move along the tubular member, to decrease the flame when moving upward and to increase the flame when moving downward. A flame extinguisher means comprising a hollow body terminating at the upper end into a shoulder with a hollow central neck extending upward therefrom. The extinguisher means encircles the flame adjuster, so that the shoulder normally rests on the ledge of the collar and the neck encircles the upper part of the collar. The internal diameter of the neck is slightly larger than the external diameter of the collar to permit easy upward movement of the extinguisher means to extinguish the flame. The ledge is spaced from the inside wall of the body to permit slight lateral movement of the extinguisher means, so that the neck may firmly contact the upper part of the collar to vary the position of the collar for adjusting the flame intensity.
