COMBUSTION APPLIANCE FOR LIQUID FUEL

摘要

A combustion appliance which is provided with a combustion wick, which makes use of capillarity to suck up a liquid fuel for combustion, and easily functions to perform automatic combustion shut-off after combustion over a predetermined duration. A combustion wick (6) for sucking up a liquid fuel by capillarity with a suction portion, and burning the liquid fuel at a combustion portion, is divided at a midpoint into a combustion portion side divided section (6A) and a suction portion side divided section (6B), one of which can be moved into contact with and away from the other of the sections. When both sections contact each other, the fuel is supplied from the suction portion side divided section (6B) to the combustion portion side divided section (6A), and as both sections separate from each other, supplying of the fuel is shut off to limit a duration of combustion.
