RESIDUAL CANDLE REMOVER

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a residual candle remover. More particularly, the present invention relates to the residual candle remover for removing residue wax of burned candle from a candle stick/holder.

BACKGROUND Generally, candles with different composition and raw materials of various manufactures are available in the market. Candles are used in different places for such as religious areas for instance, churches, home, restaurants, and hotels. They are used in restaurants and hotels for ornamental and decorative purposes. These candles are contained entirely or substantially to a length within a stand, for instance candle holders and have a snug fit therein. After utilizing entire length of the candle, certain residue wax of the candle could be adhered or deposited to the bottom or holding member of the candle stick/holder. Before inserting a new candle in the candle stick/holder or the recipient, it is necessary to remove the residual wax of the burned candle from the holding member of the candle stick/holder. However, it is a slow and tedious process to remove the residue of candle wax from the candle stick/holder. This removal process requires certain sharp end tools for a user to cut and clear the residual wax deposited in the candle holders. Further, removing residue candle wax from the holding member of the candle stick/holder could be difficult at times, which may cause injury for the user. In addition, this method of removal may cause damage to the candle stick/holder 130. Referring to FIG. 1, a user 200 removing residual candle wax 140 from the candle holder 130 using tools 300, such as knife, screw driver, scissors. Indeed, there is

, DK 180254 B1 no tool for this usage, where the user often uses conventional tools 300. There are risks to break the tools used to clean the residual candle wax in the holder 130 or risks that the user may hurt himself/herself. Furthermore, sometimes result in damage to the candle holder 130.

A prior art, WO2008/061266 of Vamos, discloses a residual candle removing device comprising a hollow cylinder, said hollow cylinder includes an upper section and a lower section, and a handle, and thereby enabling a user to remove residual candle wax from a candle holder by injecting the lower section of the hollow cylinder into the candle holder and rotating the handle into the candle holder to cover and collect the residual candle or wax in ease. However, this prior art fails to provide solution for reducing the size of the unused device, and also fails to get rid of large candle lumps in the hollow cylinder.

In the light of above-mentioned problems, it is desirable to provide an efficient device to remove residual wax of candle from the candle holder without any risk to the users as well as candle holders.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further disclosed in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.

The present invention discloses a residual candle removing device or remover for removing or discarding residual candle wax from a candle holder. The device comprises a hollow cylinder and a handle.
