when a match is to be removed from said sheet.
One object of the invention is to '50 form thesheath and locate the pivot of the match sheet as to allow at least half of eachsheath sheath and interfere with closing of the article. a
Another object of the invention is to provide an increased element of safety by having the striking abrasive for the matches carried by a portion of the match sheet which moves into the sheath as said match sheet is swung to position allowing removal of, a match. Hence the strikin abrasive is not readily accessible for str' 7 g the match until the article has been closed.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, description folds beino' denoted at 8.
being accomplished by reference to the accompanying drawing.
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate one form of construction, the match sheet being closed into the sheath in Fig. 1 and partially open in Fig. 2-, Fig. 3 being a longitudinal sectional view with the parts in the relative positions shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing a slightly different form of construction.
Fig. 6 is a side elevation showing a still further variation.
In the construction shown in Figs. 1 to l, the numeral 7 denotes a flat sheath formed by folding a piece of heavy paper, cardboard or other desired material, u on itself, the bviously, this fold may be curved as shown, may be con: stituted by one crease or may be' provided by creasing on closely spaced parallel lines.
Within the sheath 7 is a match sheet 9 which is transversely split to provide a plurality of match stems 10 to which heads 11 are applied. While heavy paper, cardboard or the like is preferable for the sheet 9, any other suitable material could of course be employed.
A pivot 12 which is preferably in the form of an eyelet, passes through two of the free corners of the opposed sheath sides and passes through the intervening portion of the match sheet 9, and about this pivot, said match sheet may be swung to open and closed positions, an intermediate position being shown in Fig". 2.
By locating the pivot- 12 in the position shown and described, substantially half of each side wall of the sheath is free to yield outwardly during closing of the match sheet 9 so that closing of said sheet will not be interfered with by striking of the matches against edges of the sheath. To make this clearly understandable from the drawing, attention is invited to the line A placed upon Fig. 2, said line extending through the pivot 12 and through the diagonally opposite end of the fold 8'. There is nothing except the inherent resiliency of the sheath sides to prevent the portions of said sides below the line A, from yielding outwardly and hence the match sheet 9 may be closed with greater ease than if some other location of the pivot 12 were provided.
The match sheet 9 is provded with one end 13 which projects beyond the sheath when said sheath as will be clear from Fig. 2,
and when said sheet is completely open, the
abrasive is completely within the sheath.
Hence, 'a great element of safety is added to i the device, for the striking surface is not accessible until the sheet is again returned into the sheath.
While the projecting end 13 of the sheet 9 may well be used in starting said sheet from the sheath 7, we may if desired, cut away portions of said sheath as denoted at 15, giving access to the sheet to grasp the same with other elements, as previously describe In the construction disclosed in Fig. 6, the sheath 7 carries the striking abrasive 14 for the matches, and the match sheet 9" is not provided with an extended end such as 13.
The pivot 12 passes through free corner portions of the sheath sides as above described. Notches or the like 15 are employed at any desired location to give access to the match sheet.
By providing the novel construction shown and described, a device is provided which may be easily and inexpensively manufactured and marketed and will be advantageous, not only for reasons hereinbefore given, but in view of the extended advertising space which it provides.
We claim 1. A match container comprising a single form-sustaining sheet folded upon itself along one line to provide a rectangular sheath having two sides, two open ends, an open longitudinal edge and a closed longitudinal edge, each of said sides being elongated in a direction parallel with the sheath fold and having two free corners, a match sheet disposed between said two sides of said sheath and elongated in the same direction, and a pivot extending through two free corners of said sheath sides and through a corner portion of said match sheet to allow swinging of the latter into and from the sheath, the position of said pivot allowing the half of each sheath side at one side of a diagonal line from said pivot to one end of the sheath fold, to yield outwardly incident to moving the match sheet into the sheath.
2. A match container comprising a flat sheath, and a match sheet pivoted to ang swingable into and from said sheath, sai match sheet having a normally exposed abrasive portion which enters the sheath as the match-carrying portion of the carrier is moved out of said sheath.
3. A match container comprising a single form-sustaining sheet folded upon itself to provide a rectangular sheath, a match sheet disposed between the two sides of said sheath, and a pivot extending through two free corners of said sheath sides and through a corner portion of said match sheet to hold sheath and match sheet assembled and to allow swinging the latter into and from the former, said match sheet having a normally 1,aca,1a4
