Description

UNITED STATES FFICE PATENT WM. K. ASHARD, on NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN FRICTION-MATCHES.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM K. ASHARD, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Article of Friction-Matches and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description.
The nature of my invention consistsin'making matches which are capable of resisting the action of damp, and are indestructible by means of immersion in water, and whichignite and burn without the use or agency of sulphur; and not only do they resist simple dampness and wet, but remain for a long time immersed in water without destroying their quality of ignition and combustion, and are therefore well adapted for transportation by sea, and for use in humid climates and situations. The ab sence of sulphur from my matches is conceived to be an important desideratum, inasmuch as the fumes of that article while in'combustion are well known to be disagreeable and deleterious, and particularly injurious to persons of weak lungs and delicate constitutions.
To enable others skilled in-the art to make and use my invention, I- will proceed to de scribe the character and ture and composition ingredient as m process of manufacv The splint or stick I saturate in melted beeswax or other material erties and capable of stead of the sticks, or paper, and to the solution of beeswax or other material may be'added such perfuming ay be desired, so that in burning the match may exhalean agreeable fragrance. I then make a compound of the following ingredients, in these, or nearly these, proportions-that is to say, one part phosphorus, two parts chlorate-of potassa, five parts of sul'phurate ot'antimony, and two parts of gum-shellac or other resinous gum dissolved in alcohol. Into this preparation or mixtureI dip one end of the stick,'cl0tl|, or paper saturated and perfumed, as aforesaid, and after dry ing the article is fit for use.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent, is-
The above-described process of making fricpossessing similar propproducing flame; or, in-
tion-matches without the use of sulphur.
New York, June 12, 1843.
