RECEPTACLE FOR MATCHES.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
OLIVER. ELLISON, or wAsco, CALIFORNIA.
RECEPTACL'E FOR MATCHES.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OLIVER ELLrsoN, a
citizen of the United States, residing at VVasco, in the county of Kern and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'Ixeceptacles for Matches, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to receptacles for holding matches, toothpicks, or other similar of a match-box provided with a feeder according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the box, taken on the line 22 in Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a plan view of the feeder removed from the box. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the feeder is formed.
The match-box 3 is a rectangular box or drawer of cardboard, which is slidable in a rectangular casing 4 which is open at each end. These parts are those ordinarily used at the present time for matches. In order to enable the matches to be held in a convenient position, a feeder 5 is provided, and
is formed of thin sheet metal from a blank" cut as shown in Fig. 1.
The main portion of the sheet metal plate has a central tongue 6 which is folded underneath it to form a spring clasp or clip, and to leave a notch 7 at its front side. Laterally projecting tongues 8 are formed at the front part of the plate, and these tongues are bent upwardly on the dotted lines 9 in line with the side edges 10 of the plate. The front portions of the plate are also bent upwardly on the dotted lines 12 so that the upturned parts 14 are of the same height as the width of the side tongues 8,
V Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J n 29 1920 Application filed December 31, 1919. Serial No. 348,576.
and the outer'side edges of the tongues meet the side edges 10.
The plate is made of the same width as the match-box, and the plate is slid into one end of it so that the end of the box is clipped between the plate and the central tongue. The box is slid partway out of the casing before the feeder is placed in position. The side tongues project into the box for a short distance, and the casing is pushed down upon their edges.
The front portion of the plate, with the finger notch 7 and the upturned parts 14 projects from the box. Holes 16 are cut in y the upper part of the box and in its casing, so that it can be suspended on a nail 18 as shown in Fig.2 from any convenient support.
The matches descend by gravity into the projecting front portion of the feeder, and can be removed as often as desired. The feeder is automatically supplied with matches from the box until its contents have all been used up. The upper end por-.
tion of the casing forms a convenient receptacle 20 for the struck matches.
What I claim is:
A feeder for a match box or similar'box, comprising a fiat rectangular bottom plate having laterally projecting tongues at its front part, and a notch at its middle part of greater depth than the width of the said tongues, the portion of the bottom plate cut away to form the notch being bent under the main portion of the plate to form a retaining clip, and the said tongues being bent upwardly in line with their rear edges and being also bent crosswise in line with the side edges of the bottom plate, so that the rear edges of the said tongues project downwardly adjacent to the side edges of the bottom plate.
In testimony whereof I have aiiixed my signature.
OLIVER ELLISON.
