MATCH-PACKAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 764,520, dated July 5, 1904. i
Original application filed Julyl 24, 1903 Serial No. 166,794. Divided and this application filed April 11, 1904. Serial To (LH, whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES A. EKIN Unis- WELL, of New York, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Match-Packages, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.
This invention relates more particularly to match-packages for advertising purposes, and is a division of my application Serial No. 166,794, filed July 24, 1903.
The primary object of the invention is to provide simple and efcient means whereby a book-like device may be employed which is adapted to retain a number of matches held therein as a part of the package and upon which advertising or other matter may be printed, lithographed, embossed, or otherwise produced, which has a part thereof provided with a suitable igniting or match-striking surface, and which is adapted to be folded in a neat package, so as to inclose the matches package.
The invention will be hereinafter more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and will then be pointed out in the claims at the end of the description.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a general perspective view of one form of match-package embodying my invention, the flap being' opened to expose the matches to view. Fig.
2 is an enlarged vertical section through the package or device shown in Fig. 1, the section being taken on the line 1I 1I of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary transverse vertical section, on a large scale, taken on the line 111 111 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal section showing other means for hold- (No model.)
ing the matches. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary transverse section taken on the line V V of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 shows how matches with square splints may be held. Fig. 7 is a seetional view of another form of package. Fig. 8 shows how two rows of matches may be held in the package, and Figs. 9 and 10 show how a staple or metallic stitch may be employed to hold the cover to the stub portion of the package.
The cover 10 is substantially rectangular and is made of a single piece of material and comprises the main body portion 11, one end of which, as 12, is turned or bent over inwardly to form a pocket 13 and an inclosing flap 14. ln the pocket 13 are arranged the ends of the matches 15 opposite their heads, the said matches being preferably of the kind known as safety and made with substantial wood stems. The ends of the matches are securely held in the pocket 13 by glue 16 or any other suitable plastic substance which when it becomes hard will rigidly hold the matches in the package and at the same time serve to hold the bent-over end 12 tothe body portion 11 in a folded position. The glutinous or cement-like substance 16 is of such a nature and applied to the ends of the matchstems in such quantity and in such a way that each match may be forcibly removed from the substance 16 and the easing without in-y terfering with any of the other matches. The match-retaining substance 16 may be frangible and of such character as will permit each match to be forcibly removed in its entirety without breaking the stem of the match, and said substance may be applied to the ends of the match-stems before inserting them into the pocket or the substance may be applied to the cover direct, as found most convenient.
A The cover or casing 10 has two folds, one at 17 to form the flap 14, and a second fold 18 at the opposite end of the package, where the bent-over end is folded. The flap 14 is adapted to be inserted under the free projecting lip or flap 19 to inclose the matches witlr in the package, yet permits the `Hap 14 to be quickly raised when it is desired to remove one or more matches for use. This lip or flap 19 is formed by extending the bent-over end 12 of the cover or casing beyond the retaining substance, the substance 16 being shown as arranged within the fold 18. The casing or cover 10 may be made of paper, strawboard, leather, or other material. On the bent-over end 12 is a suitable safety or other friction match-striking surface 20, according to the kind of matches forming a part of the package, and on the inner side of the flap 14, as well as on the outer surface of the package, may be placed suitable advertising matter. By making the package in the manner described the matches are positively held as a part of the package. At the same time an inexpensive advertising and useful device is provided in which a number of substantial matches may be compactly held.
In Figs. 4 and 5 the stems of the matches are lirst dipped in and held by a suitable substance 21, as plasterof-paris, which will set hard, after which the matches and their retaining substance are inserted in the pocket 13 and held therein by the glue or plaster 22. The substance 21 may be of such a natureas, for example, cement, plaster-of-paris, or a mixture of either of these substances with glue-that an additional adhesive material need not be employed, the match-retaining substance itself serving to hold the bent-over end 12 to the body portion 11.
Fig. 6 shows how matches with square splints may be held in the package, in which case the match-retaining means may be the same as already described.
In Fig. 7 the casing 23 has one fold only at 24, which forms the two covers or leaves 25. These covers or leaves are substantially equal in length and are held in a folded position or substantially parallel with each other by the match-retaining substance 16, located within the fold 24. The substance 16 may be the same as previously described, and as the matches and the covers or leaves 25 are held only at the fold 24 the said covers or leaves may be sprung apart, as shown in dotted lines. v
The form of casing shown in Fig. 8 is substantially the same as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, and the package is adapted to hold to two rows of matches instead of asingle row,while in Figs. 9 and 10 and as an additional means for securing the bent-over end 12to the body portion 11 or the two covers or leaves 25 of Fig. 7 together there is provided as taple or metallic stitch 27, which is passed through the two walls of the casing and the interposed cement-like substance. The metallic stitch may be used as a means to prevent all liability of the folded parts from opening when all of the matches are removed or only one or two remain in the package.
By the term cement-like or glutinous it is intended in its broadest sense to include any substance that may be applied in a soft state and which when hard will serve as a match retaining means for the matches, whether the substance be glue, paste, plasterof-paris, cements, or other material.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isM
1. A device of the character described, comprising an approximately rectangular piece of material having a body portion, a short bentover portion forming a pocket, and a longer portion forming an inclosing flap, individual matches having their ends opposite the heads located in the pocket, and a cement-like frangible material of less strength than the matchstems, said material being located in the pocket and serving to retain the ends of the matches therein, each match being adapted to be forcibly and separately removed from the package, said short bent-over portion extending beyond the frangible material to provide a free flap under which the inclosing liap is adapted to be tucked to cover the matches.
2. A match-holding package, comprising a sheet folded upon itself to form a casing, individual matches, and a frangible cementing substance securing the stem of each match direct to the casing and within the package so that each match may be separately removed.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a matchpackage comprising a sheet folded upon itself to form a casing, individual matches, and a frangible cementing substance located within the fold and holding each individual match and securing the folded parts of the sheet to- IOO gether at the fold, and a match-striking sury face on the casing.
4. As an article of manufacture, a matchpackage comprising a casing, individual matches therein, and a cement-like frangible substance within the casing and in which the ends of the matches are embedded, said substance having less strength than the matchstems, whereby the matches may be removed separately and without breaking. A
5. As an article of manufacture, a matchholding package comprising a sheet folded upon itself to form a casing, individual matches, a cement-like material rigidly holding the matches by their stems within the package, a match-striking surface on the package, and a metallic staple or stitch passing through the folded parts of the cover and the inclosed cement-like material.
6. As an article of manufacture, a matchpackage comprising an approximately rectangular piece of material having a body portion, a short bent-over end anda longer portion forming an inclosing flap, individual matches having their ends opposite their heads located in the fold between the short bent-over end and the body portion, a cementing frangible adhesive substance located in the fold and IIO binding' the ends of the matches and the folded parts together at this point, the short bentover end extendingbeyond the adhesive substance to provide a free ap or end undel1 which the inclosng Hep is adapted to he tucked o1' inserted to cover the matches, and a matchstrkng surface on the bent-over end.
