Abstract:
1. A candle flame extinguishing apparatus comprising: a) a positioning section; b) an extinguishing section comprising first and second extinguishing members, each of which has a flame extinguishing surface region at which there is a flame extinguishing material which is characterized in that the flame extinguishing material produces a flame extinguishing gaseous substance when in proximity to heat of a flame of a candle; c) said extinguishing members being mounted to the positioning section so as to be movable relative to one another between a first pre-operating position where the flame extinguishing surface regions are spaced further from one another, and a second operating position where the two flame extinguishing surface regions are facing one another sufficiently close to one another to define an effective flame extinguishing region between the first and second flame extinguishing surface regions; and d) said flame extinguishing material comprises a bicarbonate ingredient and a bonding agent, and said flame extinguishing material yields carbon dioxide as the flame extinguishing gaseous material.
