MATCH-SAFE.
specificati@ 0f Lettelslatenti, Patented Mar. 30, 1920.
Application filed December 21, 191'?. Serial No. 208,222.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB E. NEAHR, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Match-Safes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to match safes and appurtenances, and certain features thereof 'are in the nature of an improvement over the structure disclosed in my Patent No. 1,144,612 of June 29, 1915, in which a coil of ignition strip is carried in a drum, and the end of the coil is led-out through an aperture and wrapped around the drum and secured.
One feature of the present improvements relates to a provision for insuring that the coil of strip shall be properly placed in the drum, so that it will emerge through the aperture with its right side out, for wrapping around the drum in the proper direction.v To this end, the coil is mounted upon a core, `which may he made of wood or other material, said core having avspecial strueture, and there being placed in the drum a special support, so that the core cannot he set wrong upon said support, and hence the coil when inserted in the drum must always he right side up, avoiding liability of the coil emerging from the aperture with the wrong side out. Moreover, the structure whereby this result is secured is also useful in preventing substitution of spurious coils in the drum.
Another feature of the invention relates to the device upon which the match-striking drum and safe are mounted.
rises from said tray, preferably froml the middle thereof; and said tray in turn is utilized as a lid or removable cover for a rela tively large receptacle, which forms the hase of the entire article. Said receptacle has at its top a very large opening,` which may right into the hase receptacle, then replac-` ing the tray in position to serve as a lid. The appearance of the tray and coverl is harmonious, the dishing of the tray lend Said device" comprises a tray or dished receptacle for hurnt matches, cigar ends, ashes, andsolforth. The pedestal for carrying the inatchsafe` ing attractiveness to the entire base, as well as serving to render the tray adaptahle as a temporary receiver for ashes, etc` It will be understood, however, that the hase and ash tray ymay `loe employed in connection withother forms of match safes or matchstriking devices. y
The device has the further advantage that thetray with its match safe may, if desired, he used separately from the hase, and can he supplied separately from the tray to he retailed either with or without the hase; the tray itself being of suiiiciently broad dimensions to serve as a base, if required, vand forming a, complete article of commerce capablo of independent use as an ash tray separately from said receptacle.
Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the tray tilted to dump its contents into the hase receptacle.
Fig. 2 is a plan, showing the mounting of the coii of ignition strip. i
Fig. 3 is a sectional central elevation of the device.
Fig. d is an enlarged sectional perspective, showingthe structure of the core of the coil.
`As in said patent, the matches are placed in a receptacle 10, which surmounts a drum 11 in which is contained a coil of ignition strip 12, and the coil is led out through an aperture 13 in the drum and wrapped around the same at `1li and then secured by means of a clip 15. In the present instance. the coil is carried upon a core 16, which is centrally perforated at 1T for mounting rotatively in the drum; and the match safe has.
projecting downwardly from its bottom 19 a central shank or stem 19, which passes down through the central aperture in the core and at its lower end is threaded down upside down upon said post 20. The shank" 19 may serve as a spindle upon which the core is loosely mounted. The post 20 rises within the drum and the coil may occupy the entire height of the drum, so that only a core having a proper construction of hole therein can -be successfully placed-within the drum.
Since the coil is necessarily inserted the right side up, the end may beled out through an aperture and wrapped around the drum in the manner shown in Fifi. 2', without the liability of the ignition side of the strip beingaccidentally placed inwardly against the exterior surface of the drum; thus avoiding difculty. In order that lthe spoolV may rotate freely, the stem of the screw, which is of small diameter, may serve as a spindle for the spool; and the counterbore may be of substantial size, so as not to contact with the post. Thus a great contrast is made between the holes at the opposite sides of the core.
The post may have a shoulder 24 to clamp the bottom of the drum down upon a washer 25 inserted between the drum l1 and the top of the ypedestal 21; the post terminating in a rivet head 26, which holds the whole device to the pedestal; and the latter may be of sheet metal and spun or drawn up in the center of the tray, as illustrated.
The tray 22 may be of relatively great diameter andl of dished form as shown, so as to have a great utility as a temporary receptacle for ashes and the like; and at its elevated border or edge it may be rolled over to form a bea-d 27 to overhang the edge of the large opening in the top of the base, which may comprise a flat bottom orfloor 28 and a side wall 29. The upper edge of the'wall may be formed with an interior iange 30 to conduce to security and stiffness; the bottom of the side wall being held in place by a iange 31 spun up from the floor. Y
The capacity of the base receptacle is preferably several times greater than the capacity of the tray, so that the tray may be repeatedly `cleared of debris beforeV it becomes necessary to clean outthe base receptacle. This is a convenience where many of Vthe articles are in use, as the attendant or Waiter can readily clear out any tray as soon as anything is deposited therein, and without waiting for further accumulation; and he can do this without taking the article away from the table. Hence, the trays may easily be maintained practically in clean condition throughout. the day and evening, rendering it unnecessary to clear out the ybase except more than once a day, or even av greater intervals. Y
Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
