MATCH PACKET. APPLICATION FILED SEPT. 23, 1919.
Patented Aug. 31,1920.
TED STATES ANDREW W. GRAHAM, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
MATCH-PACKET.
b all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, ANDREW \V. GRAHAM, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lilatch-Pzwkets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to packages and has special reference to a match packet.
One important object of the invention is to provide a. novel form of match packet which may be used for holding any kind or size of matches, the matches beingheld in individual packets in such manner as to render it impossible that they should become accidentally displaced from the packet, the construction being such, however, as to permit easy removal of the match when it is desired to use the same.
A second important object of the inven-.
tion is to provide a packet of this character wherein the match will be held by friction or other yieldable means.
A third important object of the invention is to provide a packet of this description wherein certain parts of the interior of the packet will be provided with striking surfaces so that the match will be struck as i is withdrawn from the packet.
A fourth important object of the invention is to provide a packet of this description which will have, on its exterior as well as its interior, a striking surface so that if the match fails to ignite upon withdrawal, it may be struck on the exterior striking surface and thus be ignited.
With the above and other objects in View, as will be hereinafter a pparent, the invention consists in gciieral of certain novel details of construction. combinations and arrangements hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically claimed.
In the accompany 'ig drawings, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and
Figure 1 is a side view of one of the packets complete;
Fig. 2 is av section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. l;
Fig. 4 is a view showing a portion of a sheet of half packets ready for assembly;
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 23, 1919.
Serial No. 325,806.
Fig. 5 is a side View of a modified form of packet having a folded neck portion;
F g. 6 is a View of a blank used in a modification'employing a single strip of material to form the packet;
Fig. 7 is a side view, similar to Fig. 1, showing this modification as folded;
Fig. 8 is a section on the line 88 of F ig. 7;
Fig. 9 is a view similar to F ig, 6 but showing another form of modification; and
Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 7-of the modification as in Fig. 9.
By reference to the drawings, it will be seen that, in each instance, the, invention consists of a match packet wherein a single match is held, and in all instances some provision, as will be described, is made which will serve to hold the match against accidental withdrawal, such provision preferably taking the? form of friction means which may or may not be assisted by contractions in suitable places in the packet so as to aid in holding the match in place.
Different forms of the packet may be used, certain of said forms being typically shown in the drawings, but all have the same general characteristics. Each of the forms has a body portion 10, a closed end 11, and a constricted neck 12, and holds a match having a stem 13 and head 14.
In the form shown in Figs. 1 to 1, inclusive, the packet is made in two parts, each having a lanceolate shape and formed,
in any suitable manner as by dies, to pro vide a stem receiving groove 15 anda head receiving depression 16 connected by a, constricted portion 17. Moreover, in this form, the neck 12 is constricted by puckers or plaits 18 so that it holds the stem 13 from lateral movement while at the same time is yieldable to the passage of the match head L1, this yielding feature being also true of the constriction 17 which is just sufficient to add slightly to the frictional resistance to withdrawal of the match. At the neck end of the groove 15 suitable striking material is provided, as shown at 19, and a similar striking surface 20 is provided on the ex terior of the packet. Furthermore, there is provided a struck-up boss 21 adjacent the closed end of the packet thus enabling this closed end of the packet to be firmly grasped and preventing slipping thereof.
In this form of the device, the two parts Patented Aug. 31, 1920..
. are assembled around the match, their edges being glued together and to facilitate such assembly as is preferred to make sheets, each containing a number of such half packets, a portion of one of these sheets being shown in Fig. 4. After forming in the foregoing manner the grooves in one sheet are filled with matches and a second sheet placed over the first and pressed down thereon, one or both of said sheets being provided with a suitable adhesive around the grooves so that the sheets will stick together, or any other suitable means or arrangement may be used to hold them securely with the' matches between them. After the sheets are thus held together, the completed sheet is separated by dies or otherwise into inclividual packets each containing one match. It is sometimes preferable to leave a certain number of the individual packets connected in a strip or roll so that they may be c0nveniently carried or dispensed, the usertearing off individual packets as he may desire. In Fig. 5 is shown a modification wherein the constriction at the neck is obtained by folding over the edges as at 22.
In Figs. 6 to 8, inclusive, is shown a modification of the packet structure wherein a single piece of material is employed to form each packet. In this form a blank is preferably used which consists of a plurality of lanceolate portions 23 foldable one over the other as on the fold lines 24.
These portionsare preferably died out as in the first form, and are here shown as three in number although other numbers of portions may be used. In any event, the match is folded between one portion'and the next, and the remaining portion or portions wrapped around the two and secured by suitable means, as by an adhesive tion will readily present themselves, and it will also be obvious that the materials of which the packet is made may be of awide variety, and that advertising matter may be printed on the packets at will.
In use, a person grasps the end 11 of a packet between the thumb and forefinger of one hand and the stem of the .match between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. He then quickly draws the match out and the head in passing the striking surfaces 19 will usually ignite. If for any reason ignition fails, the user may employ the exterior surface 20 for this purpose. There has thus been provided a simple and efiicie'nt device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.
It is obvious that many variations may occur in the exact form of the packet. I do not desire, therefore, to restrict myself to merely those specific forms shown but wish to include with these all others which come. within the scope claimed.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letvidual matches consisting of opposed sides having opposed match stem receiving grooves, opposed match head receiving 'recesses, and a constricted yieldable neck arranged to engage the match stem.
3. A match receiving packet for individual matches consisting of opposed sides having opposed match stem receiving grooves, opposed match head receiving recesses, and a constricted yiel'dable neck arranged to engage the match stem, there being a second constricted portion between the grooves and recesses yieldably engageable against the match adjacent the head.
In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature.
ANDREW w. GRAHAM.
