CHARLES B. RAlVSON, OF WVOROESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
MAKING MATCH-SPLINTS.
l I I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,502, dated May 13, 188%.
Application filed February 23, 1883.
(No model.)
To all whom it 71mg concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. RAWSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVorcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Friction-Matches, of which the following is a specification, the invention being illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figures 1 and 2 show my improved method of preparing the match-splints; Fig. 3, the match-splints attached to the paper, and Fig. 4 a detached match-splint.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several Views.
My invention relates to an improved mode of preparing the match-splint, and also the mode of attaching the same to a strip of some suitable connecting material; and it consists in partially or entirely severing a card of wood or other suitable match material on lines running obliquely to the sides instead of at right angles to the same, so the match-splint, when severed from the card, will be wedgeshaped, the end forming the match being the base and the opposite end the apex; also, in
.attaching the card of splints to a'strip of paper, leather, or other suitable material and rolling the same, thereby bringing the paper between the matches so the matches as rolled will not come in contact.
I prepare the card A of wood or of any suitable match material, and form the notches A A on two opposite sides, leaving sufficient space A A to form the head of the match. I then sever the card by means of thin chisel-shaped blades, or in any other known method on the lines a a a a runnin I a a g diagonally across the card, or at oblique an gles to the notchedsides, forming a wedgeshaped splint the head A forming the base and the opposite end, b, the apex. The notches A A can be placed opposite each other, as in Fig. 1, when the lines a a will run from a notch on one side to a notch next to the opposite notch on the other side, and the lines a a will then be parallel; or the notches on one side may be placed opposite the match-heads on the other side, as shown in Fig. 2, in which case each alternate line will incline in the opposite direction to the notched sides of the card. By this method of forming the splints only one-half the amount of material is required for the same quantity of matches as by the method in common use.
The heads of the matches are prepared with some paste or composition capable of igniting by friction, as in the case of matches now in use. The card is then placed upon a strip of paper, leather, or any similar material, 0, and attached to the same at its central section, as at c c c c, Fig. 3, by glue or any suitable adhesive substance, applying it preferably to a narrow strip, so as the splints are separated from the card they may be readily detached from the strip of paper 0. The strip of paper. should be at least as wide as the matches are long, or it may be slightly wider than the card of matches, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to better protect the igniting ends of the matches, and the strip of adhesive material should be applied to the center of the match-card and for the match-card maybe attached to the paper before the igniting composition or paste is applied to the match-heads.
I do not claim forming notches on two opposite sides of the match material, as that has been heretofore done, and is shown in Letters Patent to H. Reiman, November 7, 1865, No.
50,843; neither do I confine myself to any particular mode of forming said notches or of severing the splints on the oblique lines, as any of the well-known methods of making matchsplints may be readily adapted to the manufacture of my improved form of splint; but
\Vhat I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A card of match material having two opposite sides notched to form the match-heads, and being nearly separated on oblique lines,
forming splints, so the pointed end of one I tral section by means of some suitable adhesplint shall come between the heads of two adjacent matches, as described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The process of making a card of matchsplints, consisting of forming notches on opposite sides of a card of match material, leaving a space between the notches to form the match-head, and afterward partly severing the splints from the card on lines obliquely to the notched sides, so the splints will be wedgeshaped, having the point of each match lying between the heads oflthe two adjacent matches, as and for the purposes specified.
3. The combination, with a card of matchsplints, of a strip of paper, leather, or similar material, attached to the splints at their con sive substance, as and for the purpose set forth.
4. As an article of manufacture, a roll or package of frictionanatehes, consisting of a card of cuneiform match-splints, the point of one splint lying between the heads of the two adjacent splints, the several match-splints having some suitable igniting compound attached to their larger ends, and being attached at their central section by any suitable adhesive substance to a strip of paper, leather, or similar connecting material, as and for the purpose set forth.
