| Title: |
Self Extinguish Torch |
| Abstract: |
A self-extinguishing torch for use in theatrical environments includes a
supporting basket having a support for torch fuel. The supporting basket
includes a screen providing side ventilation for containing torch fuel on
the support and admitting air through the side ventilation to burn torch
fuel. The supporting basket has fuel, which provides torch lighting. A
container having an opening for receiving, surrounding, and containing the
supporting basket has a handhold remote from the container for permitting
the container to be held by a hand. A normally closed top is provided for
moving from an open position to a closed position over the container with
the supporting basket therein. The normally closed top is biased to the
open position when the supporting basket protrudes from the container at
the normally closed top. A spring biases the supporting basket from a
burning position exterior of the container to the opening of the container
for receiving, surrounding and extinguishing the supporting basket
interior of the container. A deadman on the container having an aperture
engages a protuberance on the handhold. It maintains the supporting basket
extended from the container with the normally closed top in the open
position. When the deadman at the handhold is released, the deadman
springs free of the protuberance. This biases the supporting basket into
container occurs with closing of the normally closed top to extinguish the
torch fuel in the supporting basket of the torch.
