发明名称 Apparatus and method for extinguishing a flame upon disturbing the apparatus
摘要 An apparatus is provided for containing a heat source (36) in a chamber (16) having a chimney-section (22). The apparatus has a gas inlet opening (24, 26, 30) and a gas outlet opening (32) formed in the chimney-section (22). The gas inlet opening (24, 26, 30) and the heat source are located in a lower area (12, 20′) of the chamber (16) and the gas outlet opening (32) is located in an upper region (14) of the chamber (16) so that, when a heat source is placed in the chamber (16), an ascending gas flow may be generated in the chamber (16). Inflowing gas into the chamber flows therethrough into the lower area (12, 20′) of the chamber (16) and then is drawn upwardly by a draw of the ascending gas flow and then though the gas outlet opening (32). The apparatus includes a subassembly (27). The chimney-section (22) is attached to the subassembly (27) so that lateral tilting of the chimney-section (22) causes motion of the subassembly (27) relative to the wick (307). This extinguishes the flame if the wick was burning.

主权项 1. Apparatus for containing a heat source (36) in a chamber (16) having a chimney-section (22), the apparatus having a gas inlet opening (24, 26, 30) and a gas outlet opening (32), the gas outlet opening (32) being formed in the chimney-section (22), wherein the gas inlet opening (24, 26, 30) and the heat source are located in a lower area (12, 20′) of the chamber (16) and the gas outlet opening (32) is located in an upper region (14) of the chamber (16) so that, when a heat source is placed in the chamber (16), an ascending gas flow may be generated in the chamber (16), wherein inflowing gas flows into the lower area (12, 20′) of the chamber (16) and then is drawn upwardly by a draw of the ascending gas flow and then though the gas outlet opening (32), wherein further, the apparatus includes a subassembly (27) includes an air flow guide (140), clips (142), a cover (304) with a centering hole (305) and a liner (136), the cover (304) connected to the subassembly (27) via the clips (142), the liner (136) having a lower end adapted to contain a container (302) enclosing a combustible liquid and having a wick (307), wherein the centering hole (305) is adapted to allow the wick (307) to pass therethrough, and wherein the chimney-section (22) is attached to the subassembly (27) so that lateral tilting of the chimney-section (22) causes motion of the subassembly (27) relative to the wick (307).
