MATCH PACKET Filed Sept. 18, 1929 Patented Aug. 18, 1931 PATENT OFFICE JACOB O. TRAUTWEIN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MATCH PACKET Application filed September 18, 1929. Serial 11o. 393,348.
My invention relates to match packets or book match containers, and the ob]ect of the invention is to provide a simple form of match container which may be readily and securely 'g attached to the Vside of a package of cigarettes, the purpose being to have a supply of matches at all times in readiness for the smoker and in a form which will add only slightly to the bulk of the cigarette package. In other 3o words, it is my purpose to provide means whereby a book of matches may be intimately associated with the cigarette package, thus to insure a supply of matches whenever it is desired to light a cigarette. In connection With this general object it is my purpose to provide a special form of blank from which the match container may be easilyV and cheaply formed and ywhich will produce al sightly and efficient receptacle for the 2o matches.
I accomplish my objects by the construetion illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device mounted upon a package of cigarettes.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of my device detached from the cigarette package and shown with the end flaps open and the center retainer detached and partly thrown back to better reveal the construction.
Figure 3 is a side'view of my packet showing the same completely assembled and in closed condition.
Figure 4 is a plan section on the line 4 4 Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a face view of an advantageous form of blank.
Like numerals denote like parts throughout the several views.
First referring to the blank shown in Figure 5-this has a body portion 1 which extends approximately rom the line a to the line b. This portion is of a length approximately equal to the length of the cigarette package 2, and by preference is ofa width approximately equal to or slightly less than the width of one of the narrow sides of the cigarette package.
For the purpose'of explaining the prin- 50 ciple of the invention I have chosen to show a double-ended book 4 of matches, although it is well known that book matches are commonly single ended and single-ended books may be employed in my packet in an analogous manner. In the form illustrated in the drawings there is an extension 6 at each end of the body portion, these eXtensionS being of the same width as the body portion and of such length that they may be folded back over the ends of the matches to form an outer covering or protecting Hap for them. The blank, as here illustrated, also has an integral lateral projection 8v at the middle, which may be bent inward over the center portion or butts of the matches and be secured to themandto the body portion by a metallic staple'10 or other appropriate fastener. By reference to the drawings it will be evident that this single fastener serves to fasten the matches to the body portion and also the retainer 8 to the matches;`
in fact this is the only fastening element required to hold all of the parts of my device together.
As clearly shown in the drawings by fastening the retainer 8 at the middle the upper and lower edges are suiiciently free to enable the free ends of the flaps 6 to be inserted under them to be retainedthereby in the well known manner.
tongues and to protect them from displacement as a result of contact with external objects. By reference to Figure 1 it will be obvious that these tongues do not prevent access to the cigarettes. It is common for the users to tear away a small portion of the end folds of the package as, for example, at the point 16, Fig. 1, and in using my device-these portions will be taken from a corner opposite to my device. This will expose the cigarettes indicated at 17 Figure 1.
The tongues 12 may be secured to the package in various ways. One 4suitable method is to gum the outer surfaces so that when they have been moistened and inserted Inot be anchored by any device such as the fastener 10. rIlhe rigidity of the metal will be suflicient and in such case the match block may be slipped in from the side and the retainer will serve as a clip to keep the block in place. l
While it is not essential it is desirable to apply emery or other abrasive 18 to the outer surface of the retainer 8, and this may be done either by gluing the emery or sand direct to the retainer or by pasting to the retainer a sanded strip of paper.
From the foregoing it will be evident that my device is'simply constructed and hence may be produced at very low cost. Except 'for the matches themselves the entire packet may be formed from a single blank. The device is especially economical in that the tongues 12 are formed from the body of the blank itself, thus avoiding the need of additional stock. It will also be noted that the apertures left when the tongues are bent backward are not visible either when the main body portion being approximately of the same length as the cigarette package, a Hap extending from the end of the body portion and adapted to cover the outside of the readily inserted beneath the end folds of the cigarette package..
2. A packet for book matches comprising a blank having a main body portionof approximately the same length and Width as the narrower side of a cigarette package, extensions at bothends of said main body portion adapted to be folded over the outside of the matches to form protecting flaps, tongues struck from said body portion and joined .thereto at the ends thereof, said tongues having free ends adapted to be inserted beneath the end folds of the cigarette package, a block of matches adapted to lieadjacent to the outer surface of the main body portion, and
retaining means fastened between its end to I the match butts, the ends of said retaining means being free whereby the ends of the flaps may be inserted under them.
3. A match packet having a blank with a body portion having an extension at each end, and a pair of free tongues struck from the body portion of the blank and integral therewith at the end of the body portion, whereby they1 may be bent at right angles to the body portion' and inserted beneath the end folds of a paper package of cigarettes and the extensions may be bent outward to cover the matches.
4. A packet for book matches comprising a paperblank having a main body portion approximately the same length and width as the narrower side of a cigarette package, said blank at its ends having pairs'of oppositely extending tongues, one of said tongues of each pair being adapted, for insertion under the end folds of the cigarette package, Whereby the packet is adapted for connection to the cigarette package, a double ended blank of matches mounted on said main blank and extending lengthwise thereof, said main blank having intermediate its ends a lateral flap folded over the central portion of said book of matches, and fastening means for holding said flap in position against said matches and for attaching said matches to said blank, said flap having its lateral edges free, whereby the ends of the other folds of each pair of folds may be folded down over the heads of the matches with the ends inserted under the -free edges of said lateral Hap.
