A remotely-controlled candle device, which comprises (a) an enclosure containing combustible material; (b) a wick disposed within the combustible material, by which the combustible material is drawn upwardly by capillary action; (c) an electric unit in which is housed control and communication equipment and a battery for powering the equipment; (d) an ignition device in heat exchanger relation with an upper end of the wick and controlled by the control equipment, for controllably igniting the upper end and producing a flame; (e) one or more conductive elements connected to both the electric unit and to the ignition device; and (f) an extinguishing device controlled by the control equipment for controllably extinguishing the flame. The electric unit is operable to receive remote commands from a user device for activating the ignition device and the extinguishing device upon demand. The extinguishing operation if performed gradually.

A Smart Candle Platform may be configured to produce candle light using a natural wax candle as its fuel source or any other fuel source capable of producing light, including liquid fuels if so configured. The outer shell, inner cover, top cover and base provides a beautiful exterior shell which does not melt but emulates the look of a traditional pillar candle. The outer shell may be changeable/replaceable allowing for style and or seasonal changes. A Smart Candle Platform having multiple interactive systems and sensors for production of natural light via a safe, controllable device which may communicate with other similar configured devices or smart devices having application software embedded therein i.e. a smart phone having an app. is disclosed. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for auto-extinguishment. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for the addition of smells or scents.

A device for extinguishing birthday candles comprises a housing, a selectively operable fan adapted to propel ambient air away from the device, and a pressure switch electrically connected to the fan such that the fan operates when the pressure switch is activated. The housing defines an air chamber and an air inlet. The air chamber is adapted to receive exhaled breath from a user via the air inlet. The pressure switch is adapted to be activated by the exhaled breath such that the exhaled breath causes the fan to operate.

An example Smart Candle Platform is configured to includes a candle fixture that comprises an outer shell having an opening, a mid-frame, and a base, and a fuel bottle configured to hold a fuel material and is removably coupled to the candle fixture. The fuel bottle is positioned at least partially within a hollow interior of the mid-frame of the candle fixture and accommodated by the base. The fuel bottle further comprises a wick that extends through an opening of the outer shell, and the candle fixture includes an ignitor configured to ignite the fuel material via the wick to produce a living flame. The candle fixture further includes an inner cover having one or more reinforcement ribs configured to provide structural support for the one or more ignitors.

A candle blowing apparatus may have a main housing, a mouthpiece, at least one filter cartridge, and an ornamental endpiece. The main housing may have a first end and a second end. The mouthpiece may be removably attached to the first end of the main housing. The at least one filter cartridge may include at least one filter. The filter cartridge may be removably disposed within the main housing between the first end and the second end. The filter cartridge may be in fluid communication with the mouthpiece. The ornamental endpiece may be removably attached to the second end of the main housing and be in fluid communication with the filter cartridge. The ornamental endpiece together with the mouthpiece and the filter cartridge may define an air flow path for hygienic delivery of an extinguishing gust of air to a candle.

A flame out candle system and method for automatically retracting and extinguishing a wick flame. The system includes a candle, a wick, and a puck assembly. The candle includes a bore to receive the wick, and a cavity to receive the puck assembly. The puck assembly can include a motor driven power screw or spur gears associated with spaced apart pinion gears. The puck assembly is removable from the candle for reuse in another candle. A wick engaging member can be operatively associated with the power screw for linear movement that is transferred to the wick. The pinion gears can be engageable with a rack gear positioned therebetween so rotation of the pinion gears translates into linear motion of the wick. A computer system can be utilized to control the motor based on a time signal, an activation signal, a sensor signal or any wireless signal.
