  • v INVENTOR FERDINAND RINGER '30 may be blown out Patented A111218, 1933 n' umrau STAT15:sA PATENT OFFICE amena., or vlaams, AUSTRIA ,.Ierivtiiriana-' s'i'rcx Application illed April 26 1929, Serial No. 358,888, and in Austria lay 5, 1928. v
  • This invention relates to an ignitible stick and a method for making such sticks.
  • Up-to-date ire making devices comprise, on the one hand, various kinds of mechanical .5 devices such as the well known pocket type of cigar and cigarette lighters, on the other hand, the well known matches are used.
  • the former have the advantage that they can be repeatedly used, but the purchasing price is relatively high and the construction 1s rather complicated and some of their .elements must be repaired often.
  • v The operation of these mechanical lighters is not simple and in many types the combustible must be renewed from time to time; Matchesare by far preferred owing lto their simple .manipulation. However, they Vcan be usedibut once and the burnt match forms a troublesome waste product.
  • the demand for a re- 20. 'liable instrument for repeatedly producing ire has not yet been satisfied.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an ignitible stick for repeatedly producing fire, combining the simple and .handy manipulation of a match withythe advantage of repeated use of mechanical cigar lighters.
  • the stick for-min thev objectof the invention may be ignite n suitable surface just asa common match, and
  • the match according to the present invention has for its principal component .a combustible ground mass which is slow burning and leaves no noteworthy ashy residue. with this ground mass an igniting mass, for example potassium chlorate and sulphur is used in such amounts that after the matchis ignited it may be extinguished by simply blowing upon it. When molded, the combustion lhindering cleavage products.
  • velocit of the ground mass is lower than that o weakly nitrated cellulose.
  • This ob ject may be attained for example .by using 1n the ground mass acetyl cellulose.4
  • This substance burns more slowly than weakly nitrated cellulose.
  • vthis substance are mixed regulating materials such as ammonium oxalate which Vfurther retard the speed of combustion since they contain ntrogen yor the like and develop combustion ,3
  • the whole massof the stick has a sufficient stability to permit of striking on ignition surfaces; but the required hardness is not e'ected by inorganic fillings, kbut by selecting the ground mass and, ifrequ'ired, by organic hardening substances, as the fillings used in connection with the ordinary ignitiblemass of matches fon' combustion lleavebehind a considerable residue whereby the repeated ignition would .'m impaired or entirely prevented.
  • Theig.- niti'ble stick, according to the present invention should preferablyleavebehind no ashes of this kindgwhich, ⁇ for instance, would envelope the end of the stick like enamel .and '75 would have tofbe removed before the next ignition. Slight ashes, if any, should be by rubbing it on, a/.voluminous so as to be .easily removable by blowing oi. l
  • the igniti-ble stick 30 consists of.v a. combustible ground mass (the main constituent) an 'initial igniter such .as oxygen developing substances together with reduc'ng agents and finally substances required for mol-ding the mass, and 'if desired 85 further .substances for retarding the combustion.
  • Nitrated cellulose,y its derivatives, or other substances havingsimilar qualities such as ⁇ acetyl cellulose, adapted for the ground mass.
  • ingredientsA materials may be added to these ingredientsA materials to regulateftlie rate ocombustion, the specific quany t;ityt,ol ,be yadded.:being limited so yas to ⁇ give the mass the desired mechanical properties -95 vvand moldability.
  • Alibiarnples.of such materials are ammomum Oxalate, eamphor, naphfhlene, nitrona A hthalene, lnaphthyl acetate, phenyl, eres ornaphthyl .phosphates or carbonates,halides of aromaticdiydrocarbons, .1,90
  • E'amplea lose about 33%, camphor about 3%, sulphur about 6%, potassium chlorate about 22%, tetramine of hexamethylene about 7%, ammonium oxalate about 4%, powdered glass about 10%.
  • Example 2 further-quantities of acetyl cellulose may be substituted for nitrocellulose and further quantities of tetramine of hexamethylene may be substitutedv for camphor.
  • the ignitible sticks made according to the present invention may be manufactured in iiferent ways, for instance, in accordance with the methods of Celluloid manufacture.
  • the diiferent additions may be stirred into a concentrated nitrocellulose solution and the mixture poured into molds and the solvent evaporated. Care should be taken to avoid the formation of pores which would impair the uniform combustion of the stick. Otherwise the combustion controlling ingredients may be incorporated into the ground mass by kneading ⁇ and the mixture may be expanded to plates by calendering and the plates then cut into suitable pieces. Or a mixture of the components may be prepared and ext-ruded through a mouth piece of suitable form so as to obtain bars or rods which then are cut into sticks, or the mixture may be molded in presses.
  • the ignitible sticks according to the invention are inserted into metallic sleeves, provided with a feeding device,
  • the closing cap ofthe sleeves may be provided with a friction surface.
  • 1 shows an ignitible stick as described above
  • 2 shows the metallic sleeve
  • 3 is a base plate with arms 4 projecting through slots on opposite sides of the metallic sleeve, by means of which arms the base plate and thereby the stick can be pushed forward to any desired length
  • 6 shows the closing cap of the sleeve
  • 5 the friction surface on the closing cap.
  • the ignitible sticks may also be used in cigar lighters and similar devices where they would form an advantageous substitute for the usual mechanically operated cigar lighter. If so used their combustion velocity and consequently also the composition may vary within wide limits. Furthermore the ignitible stick may also be used as a substitute for solidified alcohol in which case the addition of potassium chlorate may be reduced or entirely dispensedy with.
