摘要： The automatic candle snuffer is a mechanical timer driven device that extinguishes a candle in a jar after a user selectable time interval. A clamp mounts the candle snuffer to the mouth of the jar. The snuffing mechanism is a spring driven gear housing shaped to cover the mouth of the jar in the closed position, but which rotates around a stationary pin to uncover the jar. The gear housing contains a spring-driven timer, which drives a plurality of gears. Rotating the upper portion of the gear housing relative to the lower portion winds a timing spring, while rotating the entire housing around the pivot pin uncovers the mouth of the jar and winds a return spring. When the timer spring is unwound, a release mechanism frees the gear housing allowing the return spring to rotate the gear housing until the mouth of the jar is covered.

摘要翻译： 自动蜡烛吸嘴是一种机械定时器驱动装置，可在用户可选择的时间间隔后熄灭罐中的蜡烛。 夹具将蜡烛鼻塞安装到瓶子的嘴部。 吸气机构是弹簧驱动的齿轮壳体，其被成形为在关闭位置覆盖罐的口部，但围绕固定销旋转以露出罐。 齿轮箱包含驱动多个齿轮的弹簧驱动定时器。 相对于下部旋转齿轮壳体的上部，使定时弹簧旋转，同时使整个壳体围绕枢转销旋转，从而露出罐的口并且​​卷绕复位弹簧。 当定时弹簧被释放时，释放机构释放齿轮壳体，允许复位弹簧使齿轮壳体旋转，直到盖子的口部被覆盖。
