![]() ![]() Since both gauge finger 38 and actuator 40 are attached to rod 46, rotation of actuator 40 will cause the rotation of both rod 46 and gauge finger 38. ![]() The preferred wick trimmer is not only able to cut such a surrounded wick but also can lift the severed portion out of the surrounding walls. The wick trimmer is also designed so that it may be operated while inserted down into a container holding a candle or into a pillar candle with unburned sidewalls. The use of the wick trimmer will also assist in removing any excess wick without cutting the wick so short that a user is unable to light the candle. ![]() A more aesthetically pleasing appearance and uniform burning rates are possible since the gauge finger will cause all wicks to be the same length. This not only reduces the safety hazards described above but also creates a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to a set of candles or to a multiwick candle. The wick trimmer may be used in any number of applications but will assist a user in cutting wicks to the same length. The gauge finger is adapted to rest on the fuel portion or top surface of the wax of a candle and gauge the length of a wick. The present invention relates to a wick trimmer having a gauge finger which in operative position will extend transversely from the blade or blades of the wick trimmer. with the cutting action actuated by muscle power with two jaws which come into abutting contact having cutting edges parallel to a pivot axis with the cutting action actuated by muscle power with two jaws which come into abutting contact B26B- HAND-HELD CUTTING TOOLS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR.B26- HAND CUTTING TOOLS CUTTING SEVERING.239000002699 waste material Substances 0.000 description 2.238000006467 substitution reaction Methods 0.000 description 2.239000010935 stainless steel Substances 0.000 description 2.229910001220 stainless steel Inorganic materials 0.000 description 2.238000006011 modification reaction Methods 0.000 description 2.238000004519 manufacturing process Methods 0.000 description 2.240000000969 Verbascum thapsus Species 0.000 abstract description 14.Priority to US09/550,185 priority patent/US6370779B1/en Application granted granted Critical Publication of US6076262A publication Critical patent/US6076262A/en Priority to US09/723,157 priority patent/US6321453B1/en Anticipated expiration legal-status Critical Status Expired - Fee Related legal-status Critical Current Links ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS). reassignment LUMI-LITE CANDLE COMPANY, INC.
