Note: Devices for trimming the wicks of candles and lamps to keep the end of the wick even and clean; usually in the form of scissors with one blade bearing a boxlike receptacle to catch the cut-off ends of the charred wick. For scissorlike devices with flat disc-shaped ends used for pinching out a candle flame, use "douters." For cone-shaped devices used to extinguish flames, use "extinguishers."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Instrumenten voor het afknippen van de pitten van kaarsen en lampen om het uiteinde van de pit gelijkmatig te maken en schoon te houden; meestal in de vorm van scharen met een doosvormig bakje aan een blad om de afgeknipte eindjes van de verkoolde pit op te vangen. Voor schaarachtige instrumenten met platte, schijfvormige uiteinden die worden gebruikt om een kaarsvlam uit te knijpen wordt 'douters' gebruikt. Voor kegelvormige instrumenten die worden gebruikt om vlammen te doven wordt 'dompers' gebruikt. 
German ..... Gerät zum Kürzen des Dochts einer Kerze oder Lampe, um dessen Ende glatt und sauber zu halten; gewöhnlich in der Form einer Schere, bei der eine Klinge mit einem kastenförmigen Behälter ausgestattet ist, um die abgeschnittenen Enden des verkohlten Dochts aufzufangen. Für ein scherenähnliches Gerät mit flachen scheibenförmigen Enden, das genutzt wird, um eine Kerzenflamme zu ersticken, nutze "douters". Für ein kegelförmiges Gerät, das zum Löschen von Flammen genutzt wird, nutze "Löschhütchen".
