IMPRovEMi-:NT IN MATCH CARDS 0R sPLiNTs.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 14S, [09, dated March 3, 1674; application ledV January 3, 1872.
which each match is divided from the other by a single incision only, extending entirely through the thickness ot' the blank for the greater portion of the length of the match, leaving the bottom part of the blank or card uncut, as hereinafter shown and described.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure lis a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a section, of a match-card made in accordance with my invention.
A is the wooden cardblank 5 b b, &c., the longitudinal cuts or incisions, and c c, Src., the matches produced by such cuts. The incisions b b, Sto., are not extended the entire length ot' the card A, but terminate at a point more or less remote from the base of the card, in order that, by leaving the bottom portion of the latter intact, the matches shall be caused to adhere together by the natural grain ofthe wood with all desirable tenacity.
The distinctive feature of my invention lies in the card composed of a single row of matches formed by incisions b, as described, in contradistinction to saw or other cuts, which will remove from the card and from between the matches a portion ofthe material. In a matchcard thus made, the matches hold together without requiring the application of glue or other adhesive material to the bottom of the card, or
without requiring the uncut end oit the card to be hammered or pounded in order to mat together the bers, and the blank requires no previous treatment by boiling or steaming in order to tit it to be acted on by the knife. There is also a saving in material of from ten to thirty-three per cent. over the ordinary.
sawed match-card, as in my card the knife cuts or incisions b cause absolutely no loss of material.
I have not in this specification described any special machinery for making the card, as I design to make that the subject-mattei' of separate Letters Patent.
I do not claim a sawed match-card, nor a v match-card in which the matches .are partly separated from one another by cuts extending the length of, but only partly through the thickness of, the matches, as described in Hotchkisss patent of June 13, 1865, nor a match-block composed of severa-l rows ot' matches, whether separated from eachother by sawing or splitting 5, but
That I do claim, and desire to secure by `Letters Patent, is-
JOHN E. GOFFIN.
