MATCH-Box.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent N o. 283,579, dated August 21, 1883. Application filed July 7,1883. (No model.) Patented in England December 29, 1882, No. 6,213.
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
. Be it known that we, JOHN DARLING and JOHN .TEX LONG, residing in Glasgow, Scotn land, and subjects of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented certain Iniprovements in Match-Boxes, (for which we obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 6,213, dated December 29, 1882,) of which the following is a speciiieation.
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of match-boxes, and has-for its object to provide means of striking or lighting and holding the matches, and of protecting the lights from the wind when used outside.
In constructing the improved match-box, which is shown in side and end elevations Yin Figures l and 2 and in perspective in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings,th e sliding drawer A, which holds the matches, is formed of a wooden splint or shaving, or ofthin card-board, or of metal ol the usual sha-pe; but the rectangular covering B of the borg, instead of being openended and being inade ot' a wood en shaving, is made of sheet metal or other non-inllannn able substance, with one end, B', closed and the other open, so that. the inner box, A, can be withdrawn at one end. One side or edge, B2, ot' the metallic or outer portion of the niatclrrbox is cut by stamping orotherwise to forni a spring-tongue, b, in the side of the box, whose free end does not extend quitetol the closed end oi' the boit, and which is bent or set inward, as indieated in Fig. l, to bear ou the sliding inner part, A, ofthe box. The
outer surface of this spring-tongue b is roughcned in stamping or by other means, and is used as the igniting surface to strike the matches on after the sliding or drawer portion of the boi: has been' partly withdrawn. On striking the match on this inwardly -bent tongue b, the match slips off the end of the tongue into the metallic casing B-v-that is, into the chamber B3, which is formed between the end ofthe drawer (which is partly withdrawn) and the closed end B of the outer casing. In this chamber B the flame or light is efteetually protected from wind or rain. To permit. or'
the escape ofthe fumes after strilzingthe match and for the admission of air, perforations or small holes c are cut in the top or bottom of the outer casing near the closed end B', and to enable the lightto be used for lighting a cigar,
pipe, or for other lighting purposes a larger hole, b,fiscut either in the closed end B of the casing or in one of the sides B* adjacent to it, through which the cigar may be inserted, and through which the ilanie may rise.
A tapered or V-shaped slot or aperture,b'-, is out in the side B2 ofthe box or in a metallic piece attached to it just beyond the end of the tongue Y) on which the inatch is struck, and after the lighted Amatch has been slipped into 4the protecting-ehamber B the match may be securely heldby pressing it into thisV-like aperture b?, the tapering edges of the aperture being barbed or jagged to grip the match.
The match-box casing B is by preference forinedof a single piece of sheet metal, which 'is struck to the requisite shape, is bent to a rectangular forni, and i oi ned longitudinallyT by overlapping and pressing together the overlapped edges ,without the use of solder. 'The closed end B is formed by folding over ilaps from the top and bottoni or sides, out of which a semicircular portion has been cnt to forni, when. closed, the aperture through which the cigar nis lit.
Vhat we claini ifsl. A flame-protecting match-box consisting of the sliding drawer A and the outer easing, B, having one end closed and formed with an aperture for lighting a cigar, the top or side perforated for admission ol' air, and one side formed with a roughened tongue or ignitionsurface, Z1, and a barbed slot, If, for retaining the match when lit, substantially as herein described.
2. The match-box casing B, formed of a single piece of sheet ineiahwith a closed end, B,
having an aperture, b, in it, one side formed with a spring-tongue, b, and a barbed slot, 71", and having perror-ations o i'orined in another side, such casing being adapted to forni, with the usual sliding match-drawer, a proteetingchamber in which the lighted inateh may burn, all substantially as described, and for the purpose herein set forth.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to. this speciiication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
