PROCESS OF MAKING MATCHES Filed July 30, 1930 Fl ERESITING QLUTSON HEHTER.-
Patented May 19, 1931 PATENT orifice CLARE K. LIGHT, OF OSWEGO, NEW YORK, ASSIG'NOR, BY MESNE SSIO-r-NMENTS, TO
THE DAMOND MATCH COMPANY, A ClOBPORATION OF-MARYLAND PROCESS OF MAKING MATCHS Appucatibn inea July so,
This invention relates to a process of making matches having splints of permeable combustible material; its principal object being to provide for the economical and ellicient treatment of the match splints with material which is effective to limit the flame to a relatively small portion of the splint whenl Y nisms.
ln carrying out the invention in the preferred way the match splints, projecting from and supported in spaced parallel relation by the carrier, are treated with a mate-- rial which permits the burning of the splints `when they are ignited yet prevents their glowing when the flame is extinguished.
yThis anti-glow material preferably consists of an ammonium phosphate solution with i which the splints are impregnated, or of powdered ammonium phosphate with which the exposed surfaces of the splints are dusted or coated. The free end'portions of the impregnated splints or the coated splints are dipped toa suitable depth into molten wax, as paraffin, and they are then exposed to the atmosphere for a briefl interval of time to allow the wax to set. This done, thesplints are dipped to a suitable depth in Va solution of material, such as ammonium phosphate,
adapted to impregnate and render practically lire-proof the portions of the splints above the waxed or paraffined portions, and such material is then effectually driven back from the waxed to the unwaxed portions of the splints by means of a hot fluid blast, as steam or hot air, which is projected longitudinally of the splints against the free extremities of the waxed portions. Y
Thereafter such extremities are tipped 193D. r.Serial No. 471,631.
with any usual or approved ignitible comp-o sitio'n or compositions to form the match heads, whereupon the matches are conveyed through a suitable drying space, whence they are discharged from the carrier and packed.
In the drawing, which is aA diagram of parts'of a match making machine designed to carry out my hereinbefore described proc- -wood and forcibly inserted inperforatio'ns in the carrier.
4ldesignates a sprayer located adjacent the cutter head 'and' adapted to project uponand longitudinally of the splints borne by the carrier a fine spray or mist of material effec-V tive to prevent the glowing of the splint material when a match has been ignited and the flame extinguished; y This material is preferably a concentrated solution of phosphate ammonium, about 3.5 Baume, which `-is quickly absorbed by the splints; but, if de'- sire'd, the material'may comprise pulverized phosphate of ammonium which in a dry state adheres to` and forms a light dust or coating onv the exposed surfaces of Vthe splints. Y f v V5 designates 'a bath of molten par'ain, or the like, in which Athe lower ends of the depending splints, after they leave the sprayer,y are immersed to a depth correspondingwith the desired inflammable area of the splints. If desired a suitable heater may be'interposed between the sprayer and the paraffin bath, in order to ensure the drying of the wet impregnated splints before they are dipped inthe bath.
6 designates a bath of free-flowing lirerek ammonium, about 21.5 Baume, which is effective'to impregnate the exposed unparaffined portion of each individual splint.
The bath 6 is preferably of the kind illustrated in the Paridon Patent No. 1,641,193, dated September 6, 1927, wherein the splints are rapidly immersed in the impregnating solution and then slowly removed therefrom to obviate any liability of the formation and retention of globules of liquid on the free extremities of the splints.
After leaving the bath 6 the splints are carried upward across the path of a blast of hot fluid, as steam or hot air, which is projected longitudinally of the splints toward the carrier by means of a nozzle 7 in a manner to drive the lire-resisting solution from the paraiiined portions of the splints to and upon the unparaflined portions, and also positively to drive the solution from the free extremities of the splints. This step is an important feature of my invention, as the presence of the fire-resisting material on the parafin impairs the burning quality of the latter, while the presence of the solution at the extremities lof the splints additionally precludes the elficient drying of the match composition in a reasonable time after the composition has been applied tothe splints.
8 designates a composition containing vat equipped with a transfer roll 9 by means of which match head composition is applied to the lower parafiined ends of the depending splints afterthe splints have been subjected to the action of the steam or air blast.
I claim- 1. A process of making matches comprising applying wax to a portion of a splint at one end of the latter, then applying a freeflowing fire-resisting material tosuch portion, then blowing the material from such portion to and upon the unwaxed part of the splint, and finally applying match composition to the free end of such waxed portion.
2. A process of making matches comprising applying wax to a portion of a splint at one end of the latter, then applying a free flowing fire-resisting solution to such portion, then forcibly projecting a fluid upon cg and lengthwise o-f the waxed and unwaxed portions ofthe splints in a manner to drive the solution from the waxed to thc unwaxed portion of the splint, and finally applying match composition tothe free end of the 1 waxed portion.
3. In a process of making matches whereof the splints have waxed and unwaxed portions and whereof the waxed portions are coated with fire-resisting material, the step f; of blowing said material longitudinally of with fire-resisting material, the step of projecting steam upon and lengthwise of the splints against the free ends of the waxed portions in a manner to drive the said material from the waxed to the unwaxed portions of the splints.
5. In a process of making matches whereof the splints have waxed and unwaxed portions and whereof the waxed portions are coated with fire-resisting material, the step of projecting hot air upon and lengthwise of the splints against the free ends of the waxed portions in a manner to drive the material from the waxed to the unwaxed portions of the splints.
6. A process of treating rows of spaced apart match splints which are each held at one end in and project from a suitable carrier, comprising treating the exposed surfaces of the respective splints with an antiglowing material, treating the free end portions of the said splints with wax, dipping the splints in a lire-resistant solution, and directing a hot fluid blast longitudinally of the splints against the free extremity of the waxed portions in a manner to drive the solution from the waxed to the unwaxed portions of the splints, and applying match composition to the free ends of the said waxed portions.
