Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 12):
A torch comprising:\n a wick holder having a combustion end and a fuel reservoir end; a snuffer sleeve in a sliding engagement surrounding the wick holder and having a retracted position and an extended position wherein the snuffer sleeve extends beyond the combustion end of the wick holder; and a biasing member that urges the snuffer sleeve toward the extended position; wherein, the weight of the snuffer sleeve and the force of the biasing member are such that the snuffer sleeve remains in the retracted position when the torch is upright; and wherein the snuffer sleeve extends under force of the biasing member to the extended position in response to an impact between the torch and a torch supporting surface when the snuffer sleeve is deviated from a vertical position more than a predetermined amount; and wherein the vertical position is defined by a position of the snuffer sleeve wherein the combustion end is fully superior to the fuel reservoir end.
