Benefits of technology

[0013] A negative result of human exhalation is the possibility of blowing melted wax onto surfaces. Another negative of mouth extinguishing is the possibility of one with longer hair having that hair falling into the flame and the risk of personal injury. An advantage of the present invention is the additional range of operation. Many candles are placed where the user can easily with the combination of arm length and lighter wand extension light a candle. Typical of said places are higher mantles, shelves, under tables and around bathtubs. To manually blow these candles out one must displace said candles and position them within close proximity of the mouth. This action can result in spilled hot wax that can be dangerous and soiling. The ability to extinguish at the same distance that one ignites is novel and advantageous.

Problems solved by technology

That is, (1) reduce available oxygen; (2) disrupt the flame boundary layer and cool the fuel.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] There exists a myriad configurations of “child proofing” and “triggering” schemes in utility lighters. Many involve pressing, twisting, squeezing and other manipulations to allow the lighter to light. What is shown is this embodiment is a simple “example” and not intended to be the invention. Also, the physical relationship between the components as depicted is not necessarily the only relationship but is represented as one of many typical ways the instant invention can be incorporated.

[0033]FIG. 1 describes the internal components of a typical utility lighter with the instant invention included. The shell housing 1 provides a grip and a platform for the components. In the handle 1 is various vessels one of which is a low pressure vessel 2 containing a flammable gas. The other vessel which part of the object of the present invention is a low pressure vessel 3 containing a flame extinguishing gas. Housing 1 is attached to a tubular extension 1a which house the capillary tubes...

Abstract

A single inexpensive device that creates flame utilizing an igniter that ignites an internal fuel source and a means and methods for extinguishing a flame all integrated into the same said device.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. US60 / 740,716, filed on Nov. 30, 2005, the entire contents which are hereby incorporated by reference as if presented herein in their entirety.BACKGROUND ART Field of Invention [0002] The present invention pertains to a flame extinguishing method as an integral part of a typical “utility” lighter. The instant invention also applies to “pocket” lighters. Said lighters are available commercially and worldwide and are manufactured by a plurality of companies. [0003] These said lighters are universally and basically constructed of the same block components. Firstly, a handle being a vessel or containing a vessel that is filled with flammable low pressure gas. Secondly, attached to said vessel is a valve, variable or fixed, that controls or releases said gas. Thirdly, as a safety precaution various, “child proof” schemes such as dual manipulation or trigger pressures have...
