l. MATTHIAS.
Match-Boxes.
No. 144,404. Patented N0v.11,1s73.
, .y T.UNTTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.,
JOSEPH MATTHIAS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT MATCH-BOXES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,404, dated November 11, 1873 application filed October 18, 1873.
tion; and that the following is a full and com-f` plete.. description of its construction and mode of operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the, letters of reference marked thereon, andwhich make a part of this speciiication.
The object of my invention is to furnish a hinge-connection for match-boxes and other similar articles which shall securely connect `the cover and body of the article together,
and also permit the cover to shut over and move upon the body of the box, which is sim.- ple in arrangement, cheap of construction,
. durable, permits the box to be easily and quickly opened, and is neat and elegant in appearance.
The drawings show the application of my invention to a match-box designed for securely and conveniently carrying matches in the pocket.
p Figure 1 is a plain face view of such a matchbox. Fig. 2 is a back view of the same. Fig.
' 3 is a vertical section through the line a: x,
Fig. 2: Fig. 4 is a cross-section through the line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a face view with i the cover partly turned back. Fig. 6 is a view `of part of the cover' and the hinge-blanks. Fig. 7 is a view of the back part of the box,
showing the hinge-slots or recesses.
`Such a box may be made, if desired, in two `parts only-the cover or top A, and the box i or lower part B-struck or drawn from solid hinge portions to enter therein, and of a depth corresponding to the extent it is desired to `have the cover of the box shut or "slide down over such lower part. From-the lower edge of one of the sides of the cover, and solid therewith when the b ox is made of metal, extend one or more parts' or strips, c c, corresponding in number with the openings f or recesses b b in the lower portion of the box, and of a width little less than that of such openings. y
To make the hinge-connection, such strips or pieces c c are simply inserted 'om the outside of the box, into and through the openings b b, and then b ent up against the inner side of the cover, as shown in Fig. 3, not tightly or closely, butin such a manner as to allow the upper part or top of the box B, when the cover is shut over the side of such box, to pass between the inner side of the cover and such bent part of the hinge. When the cover is in such position and the box shut, the bent hinge part o is against the lower edge of the opening b, as shown in Fig. 2.
When the box is to be opened, the cover A is raised from the lower part B, such motion being permitted by the height of the open' or recess b until the hinge part c comes again the upper edge of such slot opening, as shown in Fig. 5, when the cover can be easily turned back.
The bent pieces c c may be soldered or riveted to the cover A, instead of being out out from one and the same piece of metal with the r cover, though the latter mode of construction is preferable and cheaper.
When the box is made of other material than metal, suchparts must be secured to the cover by rivets or in some iirm manner.
`The arrangement of such openings or recesses b b in one part of the box, in combination with the hinge-pieces c c iixed to the other part, and bent substantially as described, after being inserted in such recesses, produces, in fact, a sliding or movable hinge, which is especially convenient and applicable to such articles as match-boxes, spectacle-cases, 85e., in which, for any reason, it is desirable to have the cover shut down over the other part otf the box or case.
For convenience in carrying in the pocket, The sliding or adjustable hinge I) o c', oond match-boxes and similar articles should he strueted substantially as described and fon formed with rounded ends and sides7 and Withthe purposes set forth.
