UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIoE..
JAMES E. AUIII), OF BUFFALO, NEV YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JOHN M. LAYTON, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN MATCH-SAFES.
Specification forming part 0i' Letters Patent No. 58,536, dated October L?, 1866; antedated 4 September 15, 1866.
To cli trimm it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES AULD, of the city of Butt'alo, county of Erie, and State of New York, have invented an Improved Igniting lVlatch-Sat'e; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specitication, in which- Figure I is a perspective view of the safe. Fig. Il is a longitudinal section; and Fig. III is a cross-section thereof.
Letters ot' like name and kind rei'er to like parts in each of the tigures.
A represents an oblong' shell or case of thin sheet metal, forming the safe in which the matches are contained, they being inserted through an opening at one end ot' the case, which opening is closed by a door or cover, a.
B represents the matchextractor, which is simply a thumbpiece working in a slot, b', cut longitudinally in one side of the case. rIhis thuinb-piece has a teat, b2, projecting inward into the case, which catches against the end of the match, so that by moving the thumbpiece the match may be forced out of' the case through an aperture, L, in the top thereof'.
A longitudinal contraction, C, (shown in Fig. I, and more clearly in' Fig. 111,) is made in the case near the edge thereof, in which the eX- tractor B works, to a size which will admit the passage of only one match at a time, thus preventing the extractor from taking hold ot' more than one match at a time.
I) represents the igniter, which is a thin piece ot' steel, with a serrated edge, hinged to the case at the top thereof, as shown at D', and shuttingl across the aperture b3, through which the matches are extracted. A spring, d?, holds the igniter down.
The igniter and spring are contained in a chambe1 at the top ot the case, formed by a partition-head, d3.
To extract the match from the case, the thumb-piece B must be moved to the bottom of the case and the case held with its contracted side downward. In this position the gravity of the matches in the safe will force one match through the contraction and bring it in line with thein ward-proiectin g teat b2 ot the thumbpiece, and also in line with the igniting-apertu-re b3 at the top of the case, so that by moving the thumb-piece in its slot toward the ig niter the match will be forced through the aperture b3, its phosphorated end striking and raising the igniter and passing over the serrated edge thereof with aconsequentrfriction sufficient to ignite or light the match.
The igniter' has a projection (shown at b4) at right angles to its serrated edge, which, as the igniter is raised by the issuing of the match, strikes against the stem of the match and bears it off from the serrated edge, thus lessening the liability of breaking the match in its issue from the case.
The movement ot' the thumb-piece is not quite sufficient to expel the match, so that after ignition the match is held in the case in a position convenient for use.
Having thus described my' invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat cnt, is
rlhe igniterI D, so combined with a pocket match-safe that it shall act against the prepared end ot' the match as it is thrust from the safe and ignite it., and afterward hold it until extinguished, substantially as set forth.
