UNITED STATES PATENT QFFTCE.
CHARLES HILL, OF NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.
MATCH-STRIKER.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES HILL, a c1t1- zen of the United States, residing at New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Match-Strikers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to match strikers and a particular object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient device of this character which may be utilized in starting fires or other similar purposes and which may be controlled or set in operation in any suitable manner.
A further object of the invention is to provide a match striker in which the match is inclosed within a suitable casing and projected therefrom in the operation of Igniting the same.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a top plan view. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the striker. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail vertical sectional view showing the connection of the operating spring with the winding shaft. Fig. 5 is an enlarged bottom plan view of the top removed from the casing.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents a substantially circular receptacle or casin provided with an opening 2 in its side an having a portion of its inner wall lined with an abrasive material or having a roughened surface 3 for a purpose to be hereinafter de scribed. Removably mounted upon the receptacle is a lid 4 and journaled in the lid and bottom of the casing is a shaft 5 which extends through the lid and terminates in an operating lever 6 having a downwardly turned end 7 to engage an aperture in the lid for holding the shaft against rotation. The lever and shaft are preferably constructed of spring wire so that the downturned end 7 may be released from the aperture and the shaft rotated, as will be hereinafter described.
Mounted for rotation upon the shaft 5 is a yoke 8 which is operated by a spring 9 surrounding the shaft 5 and connected at opposite ends to said shaft and to the yoke, respectively. Journaled upon the outer end of the yoke member is a coiled Wire 10 hav- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing one terminal connected to an expansive spring 11 and the opposite terminal bent to form a match holder 12 in which the match to be ignited is held. The match holder is formed by coiling the end of the wire and producing an abutment 13 against which the end of the match rests.
Pivotally mounted upon a shaft 1 1 is what may be termed a sear member 15 having a downwardly projecting terminal 16 extending through a slot 17 in the top and arranged when in operative position to lie in the path of the yoke member. This sear is held in operative position by a trigger 18 journaled in cars 19 arranged upon the top and is controlled in any suitable manner as by a string 19 connected to the winding shaft 20 of an alarm clock, the winding shaft only of which is shown.
By removing the downturned end 7 of the winding lever 6 and rotating the lever the shaft .5 will he turned in its bearings carrying with it the yoke 8. Vhen the yoke comes into contact with the depending end of the sear its rotation will be stopped. Continued rotation of the lever will put the spring 9 under tension, as will be readily understood. In this position the spring 11 is under tension and the head of the match is arranged adjacent the beginning of the roughened surface 3. When the alarm clock goes off the winding shaft will be rotated and the outer end of the trigger lifted so as to release the sear member which in turn frees the yoke. The yoke then rotates independently of the shaft 5 and carries the match over the roughened surface 3. As soon as the opening is reached the spring 11 acts to project the match out of the opening and the rotation of the yoke is stopped by the contact of the match holder with one wall of the opening and the contact of the yoke with the stop 21.
This device may be utilized in any suitable manner but in practice is preferably placed adjacent the draft door of the stove and with suitable kindling surrounding the opening 2 of the casing and arranged so that when ignited it will communicate with the kindling within the stove, thereby starting the fire at a predetermined time and without requiring any ones attention. After the device has been operated it may be reset by first inserting a fresh match in the holder and then operating the winding lever in a manner before described.
What is claimed is 1. A match holding device comprising an apertured casing, a rotatably mounted shaft journaled in the casing, a member mounted for rotation upon the shaft, means for actuating the. member independently of the rotation of the shaft, means for holding said member against movement, means for automatically releasing the holding means and a match holder carried by the rotating member and arranged to be projected through he aperture, together With a scratching surface arranged in the path of movement of the match holder.
2. In a match striking device, a casing, a rotatably mounted shaft arranged in the casing, a lever for operating the shaft, means for holding the lever against movement, a
