Candle Safe

Abstract

A motion-sensitive candle holder device is disclosed that extinguishes the flame upon sensing movement. The candle holder device comprises a base for retaining a candle, a motion sensor, and a flame extinguishing device. The motion sensor is secured to the base and detects any vibrations or movements of the base or in the vicinity of the base, and when activated, automatically triggers the flame extinguishing device. The flame extinguishing device is secured to the base and comprises a fan and a motor mechanism for operating the fan. A plurality of air tubes extend upward from the base. The air tubes are hollow and comprise apertures positioned at a predetermined distance along a length of each air tube for expelling air. The motor mechanism engages the fan to expel air up through the plurality of air tubes to be further expelled out of the apertures to extinguish a candle flame.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A motion-sensitive candle holder device comprising:
 a base for retaining a candle, wherein the base comprises:

         2 . The candle holder device of  claim 1 , wherein the flame extinguishing device comprises a fan and a motor mechanism which are encased in a separate chamber from the base. 
     
     
         3 . The candle holder device of  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of air tubes that extend upward from the bottom portion of the base and wherein an end of each air tube is secured within the separate chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The candle holder device of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of air tubes are hollow and comprise apertures positioned at a predetermined distance along a length of each air tube. 
     
     
         5 . The candle holder device of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of air tubes are curved to follow an interior shape of the base. 
     
     
         6 . The candle holder device of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of air tubes are straight. 
     
     
         7 . The candle holder device of  claim 4 , wherein the motor mechanism engages the fan to expel air up through the plurality of air tubes to be further expelled out of the apertures to extinguish a candle flame. 
     
     
         8 . The candle holder device of  claim 7 , wherein the motor mechanism is activated manually or via the motion sensor. 
     
     
         9 . The candle holder device of  claim 8 , further comprising a release button positioned on an outside surface of the bottom portion of the base which manually controls the motor mechanism. 
     
     
         10 . The candle holder device of  claim 8 , wherein the motion sensor comprises a motion-sensitive ring secured near a perimeter of the open top of the base. 
     
     
         11 . The candle holder device of  claim 10 , wherein the motion-sensitive ring is removably secured near the perimeter of the open top and when activated, automatically triggers the motor mechanism. 
     
     
         12 . A motion-sensitive candle holder device comprising:
 a base for retaining a candle, wherein the base comprises:
 an open top and a bottom portion; 
   a motion-sensitive ring secured to a perimeter of the open top; and   a fan and a motor mechanism in electrical communication with the motion-sensitive ring, for expelling air to extinguish a candle flame; and   wherein the fan and the motor mechanism are encased in a separate chamber from the base.   
     
     
         13 . The candle holder device of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of air tubes that extend upward from the bottom portion of the base and wherein an end of each air tube is secured within the separate chamber. 
     
     
         14 . The candle holder device of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of air tubes are hollow and comprise apertures positioned at a predetermined distance along a length of each air tube. 
     
     
         15 . The candle holder device of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of air tubes are curved to follow an interior shape of the base. 
     
     
         16 . The candle holder device of  claim 15 , wherein the motor mechanism engages the fan to expel air up through the plurality of air tubes to be further expelled out of the apertures to extinguish the candle flame. 
     
     
         17 . The candle holder device of  claim 16 , wherein the motor mechanism is activated manually or via the motion-sensitive ring. 
     
     
         18 . The candle holder device of  claim 17 , further comprising a release button positioned on an outside surface of the bottom portion of the base which manually controls the motor mechanism. 
     
     
         19 . A motion-sensitive candle holder device comprising:
 a base for retaining a candle, wherein the base comprises:
 an open top and a bottom portion; 
   a motion-sensitive ring secured to a perimeter of the open top;   a fan and a motor mechanism in electrical communication with the motion-sensitive ring;   wherein the fan and the motor mechanism are encased in a separate chamber from the base and are activated by the motion-sensitive ring for expelling air; and   a plurality of hollow air tubes that extend upward from the bottom portion of the base and that comprise apertures positioned at a predetermined distance along a length of each air tube; and   wherein an end of each air tube is secured within the separate chamber; and   wherein the motor mechanism engages the fan to expel air up through the plurality of air tubes to be further expelled out of the apertures to extinguish a candle flame.   
     
     
         20 . The candle holder device of  claim 19 , further comprising a release button positioned on an outside surface of the bottom portion of the base which manually controls the motor mechanism.
