FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional schematic view of one embodiment of the disclosed candle extinguishingdevice 10. The candleextinguishing device 10 comprises abarrel 14 in communication with ahandle 18. Thebarrel 14 has anextinguishing end 22, near to which there is an opening 26. The opening is in fluid communication with apassage 30 that travels from thebarrel 14 into the handle until it reaches apartition 34, located in thehandle 18. The partition may be a screen mesh configured to keep solid material from passing through. In fluid communication with thepartition 34 is afilter 38. Thefilter 38 may be any suitable filtering material such as, but not limited to charcoal microcarbon filters, HEPA filters, electrostatically charged filters, activated carbon/charcoal filters, and zeolite filters. In fluid communication with thefilter 38 is afan 42. Thefan 42 is in fluid communication withvents 46 located in thehandle 18. Thefan 42 is configured to draw air and other matter through theopening 26, through thepassage 30, and into thefilter 38, whereupon the air and matter is filtered, and the filtered air is discharged outvents 46. Thevents 46 are shown located on anunderside 47 of the handle, however one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that thevents 46 may be located else where on the handle, and such alternatives are within the scope of this patent application. The fan is in operable communication with amotor 50, which is in electrical communication with apower supply 54. There may also be located on thehandle 18 an entranceway with a filter door orpanel 58 to allow a user to change and/or replace thefilter 38. There may also be located on thehandle 18 an entranceway with a power supply door orpanel 62 to allow a user to change and/or replace thepower supply 54. Anactivating means 66, such as a button, switch, or control knob, is located on thehandle 18 and is in electrical communication with themotor 50 and is configured to turn on or off the fan, and may be further configured to adjust the fan speed. The candle extinguishingdevice 10 may be used as follows: theopening 26 is moved near a flame; the activatingmeans 66 is activated thus turning on the fan and drawing air, soot, smoke, and odor from the flame into thepassage 30 and into thepartition 34 where any solid material is stopped from going further. The drawing air, soot, smoke, and odor continues into thefilter 38 where the particulates and odor are removed, and the now cleaned air travels through thefan 42 and out thevents 46. Once the flame is extinguished, the user may deactivate theactivating means 66 whereby the fan is stopped. In another configuration, there may be a delay means associated with theactivating means 66 and/ormotor 50, which allows for thefan 42 to keep running for a set time period, allowing the air, soot, smoke, and odor that has been drawn into thepassage 30 to be filtered by thefilter 42. Such a time period may be about 2 second to about 10 seconds. The arrows show the travel of the air, soot, smoke, and odor into the candleextinguishing device 10 until it is cleaned in the filter, and then arrows show the path the cleaned air takes as it travels out thevents 46. The candle extinguishingdevice 10 may also be operated as follows: use thedevice 10 to extinguish the flame, then draws soot, smoke etc. from a smoldering wick into thebarrel 14 to thefilter 38, also cooling the wick. Thedevice 10 can perform two functions (1) extinguishing the flame and (2) removing most of the soot and smoke. In another embodiment of thedevice 10, a scented pad may be added such that the scented pad is adjacent to thefilter 38. Additionally, thefilter 38 may be located before thefan 42 as shown inFIG. 1 , or after the fan (i.e. between thefan 42 and the motor 50). -
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the candle extinguishingdevice 70. In this embodiment, thepassage 30 is in fluid communication with achamber 74 located in thehandle 18. Apartition 78 is in rotatable communication with thepassage 30 near theentrance 82 to thechamber 74. The partition is spring loaded to keep the partition shut until thefan 42 is turned on. Once thefan 42 is turned on, the partition opens (rotates to the left in the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 ). Thechamber 74 is configured to hold and/or store any solid materials that may be drawn into thepassage 30 when extinguishing a flame. The chamber is configured so that the solid materials may fall to thebottom 86 of thechamber 74 and not be drawn into thefilter 38. However, if solid material does move toward thefilter 38, it will be kept out of thefilter 38 by thepartition 34. In other embodiments thepartition 78 may be located near theextinguishing end 22 of the passage. There may also be located on thehandle 18 an entranceway with a chamber door orpanel 88 to allow a user to remove any materials that may be located in thechamber 74. -
