MATCH PACKET AND CARD CASE Filed April l, 1941 Und l MNM Am@ Patented June 9, 1942 MATCH PACKET AND CARDCASE Frederick W. Rettenmeyer, Meriden, Conn., as-
signor to The Napier Company, Meriden, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Application April 1, 1941, Serial No. 386,273
(Cl. G-38) 3 Claims.
This invention relates to an improvement in match-packets and cardcases, that is, a holder for a packet of matches and also a case for cards, such as photographs, identification cards, etc.
The object of the invention is to provide a holder for matches and cards, so combined and arranged as to produce a holder which is attractive in appearance and which may be conveniently carried in the pocket, and is particularly designed for enlisted men although equally useful for others.
With the above and other objects in view, as will appear to those skilled in the art from the present disclosure, this in'vention includes all features in the said disclosure which are novel over the prior art.
In the accompanying drawing, in which certain modes of carrying out the present invention are shown for illustrative purposes:
Fig. 1 is a front view of a match-packet and cardcase embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the same;
Fig. 3 is a rear view of the same;
Fig. 4 is a front view with the front cover open and the match-pocket partially broken away;
Fig. 5 is a rear view with the rear cover open;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line --i of Fig. l, enlarged;
Fig. 7 is a sectional view on the line of Fig. 1 on the same scale as Fig. 6; and
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the device with both covers open and the match-packet and cards removed.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts as illustrated and described and particularly recited in the claims.
In carrying outl my invention, I form the body Iii of the holder from sheet metal, with knuckles il at its upper edge and with an opening I2. The sides I3 and lll of the body are folded inwardly to form channels l5 and I6 for the reception of a picture I1 and an identification or other card I8. 'I'he lower end i9 is turned up and has inwardly-extending side-flanges 2K3- 2U to form a pocket 2l for the match-packet 22, the abrasive surface of which is exposed through an opening 23 in the pocket 2l. The covers, which for convenience I refer to as a front cover 24 and a back cover 25, are formed respectively with knuckles 26 and 21 to be connected with the knuckles ll by a pintle 28. The upper end of the front cover 24 is bowed to give clearance for the heads of the matches in the packet 22. The covers are respectively provided with studs 29 and 30, to extend into holes 3l and 32 in the body, so as to hold the covers in closed position. At the upper edge of the hole 3| is an inwardly-projecting nger 33 which acts as a stop to limit the downward movement of the packet, as well as providing an additional friction surface for the stud 29. The covers may be provided with finger- pieces 34 and 35 to facilitate opening.
Any desired ornamentation or insignia may be afxed to the outer faces of the covers to indicate the class of service or rank of the owner. The identication cards carry the name and other data regarding the owner, and this is exposed when the packet 22 is removed. Any desired message, or other information, from the donor may be scratched or stamped on the inner face of the covers.
The invention may be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the invention, and the present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all `changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.
I claim:
'1. A combined match-packet holder and cardcase comprising a body-member formed with an opening through which a card may be exposed, the sides of the body member folded inward, forming card-receiving channels, the lower end of the body member turned up, forming a matchpacket pocket, an opening in said turned-up end through which the abrasive surface of a matchpacket is exposed, and covers hinged to the top ofthe body member and adapted to cover the opposite faces of the same.
2. A combined match-packet holder and cardcase comprising a body-member formed with an opening through which a card may be exposed, the sides of the body-member folded inward, forming card-receiving channels, the lower end of the body-member turned up, forming a matchpacket pocket, an opening in said turned-up end through which the abrasive surface of a matchpacket is exposed, and covers hinged to the top of the body-member and adapted to cover the oposite faces of the same, the upper end of the front cover being bowed to give clearance for the heads of matches in the pocket.
3. A combined match-packet holder and cardcase' comprising a body-member formed with an opening through which a card may be exposed, the sides of the body-member folded inward, forming card-receiving channels, the lower end of the body-member turned up, forming a matchpacket pocket, an opening in said turned-up end through which the abrasive surface of a matchpacket is exposed, covers hinged to the top of the body-member by a single pintle and adapted to cover the opposite faces of the same, the upper end of the front cover being bowed to give clearance for the heads of matches in the pocket, and a stop to limit the downward movement of the match-packet.
