Abstract
A liquid fuel combustion apparatus comprises a combustion cylinder for supporting a wick to be vertically movable between a combustion position and an extinguished position, a rotating shaft connected to said wick for raising and lowering said wick, a driving motor, rotational force transmitting mechanism for rotating the shaft in one direction to thereby raise the wick to the combustion position, the rotational force transmitting mechanism being automatically disengaged from said rotating shaft when the wick arrives at the combustion position, a spring charged with the rotational force in the other direction of the rotating shaft as a result of the rotation of the rotating shaft in the one direction, holding mechanism for preventing the rotation of the rotating shaft in the other direction by the spring so as to hold the wick in the combustion position, and releasing mechanism for releasing the holding operation of said holding mechanism.
