ABSTRACT:
The decorative safety candle has the exterior appearance of a traditional moulded wax candle, but is fueled by a replaceable butane pressure cartridge. The butane cartridge is contained within an interior cylindrical metal casing, which is open at its bottom, the casing having a pair of slots at its bottom edge, adapted to removably retain a safety switch, having a downwardly extending pivotal finger, which urges the butane cylinder upwardly, when the candle is placed on a flat surface, to activate the nozzle valve of a commercially available butane cylinder. The safety switch includes a set screw whereby the gas flow may be selectively adjusted. The pivotal finger is pivoted to its upward position when the candle is not in use. When the candle is in use, in the event it is accidentally knocked over or picked up, will result in the immediate cessation of gas flow, and extinguishing of the candle flame.
