FRANCIS S. DANGERFIELD, OF AUBURN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEM ENT I'N MATCH-BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 217,345, dated July S, 1879; application iiled May 20, 1879.
State of New York, have invented certain newl and useful Improvements in Pocket Match` Safes; and I hereby declare that the followingiis a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specifica( tion, in which- Figure l represents' a perspectlve vlew of the match-safe.
spective view of the internal or middle piece Fig. 4 represents in section an enlarged view ofthe middle piece. Fig. 5 represents a detached view of the matchadvancing double sprino'. Fio. 6 represents detachcdviews of the match-elevating slide and arm. 7 represents detached views of the frictional igniter and spring.
My invention relates to that class of matchsafes designed more especially for carrying` in the pocket.
Hertofore match-safes of this class have gene 1ally been made cylindrical or oval in form, or, if made rectangular, they were too wide to properly retain a single row of lnatches in line with the match-expelling arm.
My invention consists in a match-safe made so thin or narrow as to acconnnodate only one row of matches at a time. It is closed on one side with a cover, having a double spring to advance the matches, and is provided with a roughened and serrated igniter connected to the box by a double-swivel joint, the inner casing of the safe being suitably bent, depressed, or stamped to accommodate the matchexpelling arm, the igniter-hinge, and its spring without interfering with the smooth appearance of the outer case.
The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, A represents the front or outer casing of the match-safe; B, the middle or internal portion of the box, and C the cover. The part B is made of a strip of thin metal bent and folded over, with its ends brought together and soldered, as at b in Fig. 3. The casing A is bent in the middle, as at a., and its Fig. 2 represents a vertical- Fig. 3 represents a per` igniter and its spring.
edges al brought together in position to be soldered. The cover C is also bent in the middle at c, and has its ends soldered together at c. The part-s A and (l are made of such size as to receive and embrace the middle part B, forming a smooth joint at a2.
To simplify the construction and reduce the cost of manufacture, the various parts are bent on previously-formed mandrels to give them the required form at one operation. The bottom of the piece B is swa-ged in to form an inclined way, b1, to gradually elevate the matches above the forward end, b2, of said bottom, the depression b2 being kept to receive the lower end or nger, d, of the arm D, used to elevate and expel the matches. The rounded top of the piece' B is depressed at e, and perforated at each end of the depression'to receive the ends of a bent wire,f, passing through the perforated end of the i gmter g, and secures the latter, so that its roughened under surface gl projects over the flaring end el of the piece B, through which a match, m, is forced and ignited. The igniter g is made of aflat piece of steel Toughened and serrated at the end g2. It can be moved up and down upon its pivot-wire f, and the latter can rock sidewise in its bearings, thus providing for the igniter a doubleswivel joint, and adapting it to scratch off the phosphorated end of every match in succession without a miss, and whatever may be the shape of the end. The top of the piece B is also depressed at c2 toreceive a flat spring, h, to bear upon the top of the igniter g.
The upper part of the casing A is bent upward at a3 to allow for the free action of the rlhe front portion a is bent in at c4 to direct the ascending match toward the igniter. This portion c is slotted at a5 to admit the stump d2 of the arm D and this stump is riveted on the outside of the saddle or cap d3, that can be readily grasped between a finger and thumb.
k and kl represent two dat springs of unequal length. 'lhey are clamped together at one end with a piece of sheet metal, as tin or brass, having a short bend, k2, to retain the springs 'securely united and be soldered in 'the interior ot' the cover (l, as shown in Fig. 2, the object of the springs being to advance the row of matches and bring the first one over the sliding arm D, the smallest spring, 7c, pressingon the middle of the length of the matches while the boX is nearly full, and the spring c upon the matches remaining after the spring k has ceased to act. Thus, one spring relieving the other, they can be made of very light and iiexible spring metal.
To unite the parts ot' which the boX is composed after the parts A, B, and C have been stamped and the parts shown in Figs. 6 and 7 formed, the arm D is secured loosely in the interior of the casing A by riveting it to its cap d3, and the middle part, B, carrying the igniter g, as shown in Fig. 3, is introduced within the casing A until its forward end rests against the edges of the arm D, and forms, besides the groove a5, additional guideways b3 for the same. The spring 7L is then slipped in position above the igniter, and a drop of solder placed between the top and bottom edges al of the casing A, uniting` the latter to the casing B, aswell as to the spring h.
The cover G is completed by inserting within -the springs, Fig. 5, and securing them, as shown in Fig. 2, with a drop of solder. The safe is then nickel-plated, ready i'or filling with matches. Itis intended to hold about fifteen 'its roughened bottom and edge, with sufiicient friction to ignite or light the match, the latter being retained in convenient position for use between the. spring-igniter and the side a. of the outer casin.
Having now fully described my invention, I claiml. A match-safe casing formed of the combination oi' an outer casing, A, bent upward at a3, an inner casing, B, provided with an i gniter-plate, y, and an internal inclined way, b, as described, and a cover, C, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. rI he igniter g, connected to the easing B by a double-swivel joint, in combination with spring h, casing B, and casin g A, inclosing the spring and igniter, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination of casing A, bent at a4, casing B, having inclined way bl, guideways b, and arm D, to elevate and direct matches to the igniter, substantially as described.
4. The combination of casings Aand B with cover C and double springs k c secured to said cover, substantially as and for the pur.- pose described.
5. The combination of casing A, bent upward at a3 and inward at a4, with inner casing, B, having flaring opening el, and carrying by a double-swivel joint the igniter g above said opening, substantially as and for the purpose described.
