ABSTRACT:
A liquid fuel burning torch includes a container having a substantially barrel-shaped main portion which defines a chamber accommodating a liquid fuel during use. The top wall of the container has an upwardly upset threaded neck portion on which there is mounted a closing cap having a circumferential wall provided with external and internal threads, the internal threads meshing with the external threads of the neck portion. The closing member also has a transverse wall which has a central aperture for the passage of a wick therethrough. A snuffer cap having a circumferential wall provided with threads meshing with the external threads of the closing member can be fittingly mounted on the closing member so as to extinguish the flame by denying access of oxygen to the wick portion extending outwardly of the closing member. The closing member has an external flange which frictionally engages the top wall of the container around the neck portion upon tightening. The threads and the flange virtually prevent the fuel from escaping from the interior of the container. The snuffer cap is mounted on a mounting portion extending downwardly from the bottom wall of the container by a chain. The mounting portion has an external circumferential groove, and the chain carries a bifurcated securing element which has two resilient arms that partially embrace the mounting portion and are partially accommodated in the groove.
