ABSTRACT:
A self-extinguishing candle system includes a candle with a top surface. An exposed wick is situated on the top surface of the candle. A base is provided upon which the candle is mounted. A canister containing a non-flammable fluid under pressure is situated within the base. The spray nozzle on the canister is adapted, when actuated by the movement of a linear solenoid arm, to release the pressurized fluid contents of the canister. The released fluid from the canister is directed to the top of the candle by channels in the shell surrounding the candle to extinguish the flame. The solenoid is actuated after a predetermined time elapses, a safety temperature sensor is triggered and/or a tilt sensor is triggered.
