SPECIFICATION forming part of L r P n N 788,'730, dated May 2, 1905.
Application filed Tuly 20, 1903. Serial No. 166,345.
To (DZ/Z whmn/ if; 12241.3 concern:
Be itknown that I, EDWARD Rosenagrocer, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 3 Faringdon street, New Swindon, in the county of Wilts, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Match-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved matchbox, and has for its object to provide means whereby the matches may be delivered one by one from the same when required, the invention also being applicable to cigarettecases.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the box. Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same. Fig 3 is a sectional plan and Fig. 4 is a front end view. Fig. 5 is a section showing the drawer pushed back, and Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the box with a match pushed forward or protruding.
The improved matchbox comprises an outer case in which is fitted a sliding drawer containing the matches, the said drawer being formed with a recess for holding a single match only. The case is provided with a ledge or strip at its rear end, acting as a pusher and located in a line with the recess, so that as the drawer is pushed back it brings the end of the match in the recess against the said pusher, the latter thus forcing the match forward through an opening in the front of the drawer. The drawer when released is forced forward by a'spring, with the match protruding, thus enabling the said match to be readily abstracted.
a is the outer case, and b is the sliding drawer, of shorter length than the case to enable it to be pushed inward against the force of the spring 0, placed between the back of the drawer and the case.
d is the recess formed in the drawer by stamping up the bottom to form the ridge 6, the said ridge extending from end to end of the drawer and being formed with the beveled or inclined side 0, as shown in Fig. 2, to facilitate the entrance of the match from the d rawer into the recess (1.
case for preventing the drawer being pushed outward therefrom.
m is a slide forming one side of the case, which is pulled out in order to fill the drawer with matches, the corresponding side of the drawer being left open for this purpose.
a is a light spring fitted to the front of the drawer and bearing against the side of the match 0 as the latter is forced outward in order to hold it in its protruded position.
For the purpose of withdrawing a match the box is slightly shaken, so as to cause one of the matches to pass over the ridge 0 and fall into the recess (Z. The drawer Z) is then pushed back by the operators linger, the front of the case being open for this purpose, and the end of the match 0 is brought into contact with the ledge f, so that upon the continued rearward movement of the drawer the said match is forced outward through the opening la in the front of the drawer, as shown in Fig. 5, and the spring a is compressed. When the drawer is released, the spring 0 forces it forward until stopped by the lips l on the front of the case (1,, and the drawer carries the protruding match with it, as shown in Fig. 6, the end of the spring a bearing against the side of the match, as seen in Fig. 4., and holding it in position for being readily drawn out or extracted from the box.
Having now fully described the nature of my said invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In an improved mateh-box the combination of an outer case open at one end, a sliding cover fitted to one side of the same, an inside ledge or strip formed by a tongue on the closed end of the case, a drawer for holding the side of a match and holding it in its protruded position, substantially as described.
in witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
EDW ARD ROGERS.
