Description

No. 893,673. 1 PATENTED JULY 21; 1908. W. S. TARBOX.
MATCH BOX HOLDER.
APPLICATION FILED AUG. 6,1907.
IINITED STATES PATENT @FFICE.
WILLIAM S. TARBOX, OF MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS.
MATCH-BOX HOLDER.
Application filed August 6, 1907.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. TARBOX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Malden, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented. certain new and usel'ul Improvements in Match-Box Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompa nying drawings.
My invention relates to improvements in devices for holding match boxes, the latter comprising an inner box open at the top and an outer box or casing open at the end; and an object of my inventlon is to provide a holder for such a match box, combined and integral with a tray, the latter being adapted for use in holding ashes, burned match ends, and the like.
In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention and the best 'mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 is a central sectional view showing the match box in place upon the holder; Fig. 2 is a plan view with the match box removed;
' Fig. 3 is a perspective view, the match box being shown in place; and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section 011 the line A A of Fig. 2.
The tray a is formed with four slits at the center, each outer slit running into the inner one adjacent thereto, by a curved portion b the two curved parts I) being at opposite sides of the center. These four slits form between them three strips, two outer ones 0 and a middle one (if. Each outer strip 0 is bent toaqertical position, as is indicated in Fig. 4; and when so bent they lie upon opposite sides of the center of the tray. The middle strip d is cut at its center and the two parts are bent upwardly and curved as is best shown in Fig. 1. The two curved portions (Z support the lower end of the inner box 6;

and the outer strips 0 pass between the inner box 6 and the outer casing f, (Fig. 1). By making the outer slits with the curved portion I) an appearance of solidity is given the bottom of the tray when viewed from above; which appearance would be absent were the free end of the strip 0 made square. In the latter case a slight twisting of the match box would reveal the holes left by bending upward the metal of the strip 0.
It will be obvious that my new holder is adapted for holding other devices than match boxes, as the utility of my new device does not depend upon the nature of the article .held.
form three strips one of which lies between the other two and is cut in two parts; said two other or outer strips having one end irrtegral with the material of the tray and the other end free, the free end of each outer strip lying opposite the integral or fixed end of the other outer strip.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand at Boston, Massachusetts this third day of August 1907, in the presence of the two undersigned Witnesses.
WILLIAM S. TARBOX.
