A catalytic burner with electric start. The method of using the catalytic burner comprises an electric-start device that may actuated via a switch or remotely via radio signal.

A device for blowing out celebration candles, which has an outer casing, a trigger assembly with a trigger and a toothed half wheel, a spring, a cogwheel assembly having first, second, and third cogwheels, an impellor, and an inner casing having a tube. The spring, the cogwheel assembly, the impellor, and the inner casing are incased in the outer casing. The trigger assembly protrudes from the outer casing. The device may be used instead of other methods customary in celebrations such as blowing out candles by mouth.

A device has a canister for attaching to a fuel container with a wick holder passing through the canister for holding a wick in a position to draw fuel from the reservoir for combustion proximate the top cap. A snuffer in the canister has a sleeve extendible from a first retracted position to a second extended position, the second extended position extending the sleeve partially beyond the wick holder. When the canister is upright the snuffer remains in the first lowered position and when the canister is tilted beyond a predetermined angle the spring moves the sleeve to the second extended position.

A device includes a flame bowl with a snuffer sleeve situated therein. The snuffer sleeve has a lowered position allowing a wick to burn freely and a raised position wherein the sleeve impedes oxygen flow to the wick, the snuffer sleeve being biased toward the raised position. A shelf extends from the snuffer sleeve to receive a movable weight that rests on the shelf when the flame bowl is upright and the snuffer sleeve is moved to the lowered position. The movable weight retains the snuffer sleeve in the lowered position while the flame bowl remains upright but moves to allow the snuffer sleeve to extend to the raised position when the flame bowl departs from the upright position more than a predetermined amount.

This disclosure describes an apparatus for extinguishing a flame of a candle in a candle container. The apparatus includes a base and a retractable lid positioned around an opening of the container. The lid may include two halves that are moved between open and closed positions. Control arms cause the retractable lid to close. A mechanical timer controls opening of the lid and a countdown such that, after expiration of a predetermined time period, the lid is closed. A manual over-ride causes the lid to close manually, independent of the timer. Impact sensors are configured to cause the control arms to release and close the lid responsive to a detection of impact or disturbance. The sensors may be positioned around the base such that when an impact is sensed by one sensor, each of the sensors is activated to release the lid and enclose the opening to extinguish the flame.
