UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GIDEON Gr. DENNIS, OF DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FRICTION-MATCHES.
Specification fomningparkof Letters Patent No. 48,913, dated July 25, 1865.
hereby declare that the following description' lhe nature ot' my invention and improvements consists in arming or applying the igniting materials to each or both ends of thev match stock, splint., or stick, so that one end can be ignited to serve one occasion and the other end ignited to serve another occasion, thereby making the stocks or splints do double the service that they have done heretofore;
also, in making match stocks or splints by cutting or sawing into each end ot' the block, sheet, or card of match stui' or material so as to leave the stocks or splints joined in the middle by a portion of the material so narrow that the splint can` be easily and readily split 0r broken off when the matches are wanted for use.
In the above-mentioned drawings, Figure lis a friction-match stock or splint with the iguiting materials applied to each end. Fig. 2 is a card or sheet of match material cut or sawed in at each end and left joined in the middle. Fig. 3 is a block cut or sawed in at each end so as to form stocks or splints upon both ends ofthe block and leave them joined iu the middle by a portion strong enough to hold them together d nring the subsequent processes ot' dipping or charging each end with igniting materials or composition, yet leaving the middle connection, C, so small and slight that the splints B B may be easily and readily split or broken 'olf to separate them when wanted for use. In each of these drawings the igniting material is shown in red at both ends of the splints.
In making my improved matches either of the well-known highly-combustible compositions may be used, some of which are described in American and foreign patents and several in H. Dussanccs treatise on friction-matches, gun-cotton, 85e., published by H. 4C. Baird, Philadelphia, 1864. As matches are generally used only aboutY one-quarter or one-third, at
most, of thesplint or stick is usually burnt, so that by applying the igniting composition to each end ot' the stick it is made to do double service and serve for two lightings instead of one. Hence in making my improved matches for a given number ot' lightings or kndlings one half of the lumber and one half of the labor in making the splints may be saved; and in allsubsequentprocesses of mannt'acturefas dipping, &c.the re will only be one-halt' the number ot' blocks to handle to produce a given number otlightings; Abesides one-half of the boxes, both large and small, one-haltot the paper-and twine, and one-half of thelabor ot packing, and one-half ot' the transportation,
and with all these savings the matches can be j aiorded far cheaper to the consumer. c
What I claim as my invention and improvementiu friction-matches is.-
1. Armin gorapplying theiguiting materials or composition to each or both ends of the match stocks or splints, so as to make each splint or stick serve t'or two lightin gs instead of one.
2. Making matches by cutting or sawinginto each end ot' a block, card, or sheet of match material so as to leave the splints joined at the middle, substantially as described, and then applying the igniting material or composition to both ends of the stocks or splints so made or formed.
GIDEON G. DENNIS.
