ABSTRACT:
A safety match book having a flexible cover enclosing a plurality of matchsticks each having an end tearably fastened to at least one binding strip; a match striking surface formed on an interior surface of the match book cover normally abutting one binding strip; and means for fastening the match book cover to all the strips in a region between the striking surface and another end of the matches. A portion of the match book cover, enclosing all the binding strips and the striking surface, extends a sufficient distance beyond the end of the binding strips opposite the other matchstick ends whereby the match striking surface normally abutting the binding strip may be moved outwardly a sufficient distance to allow the head of a matchstick torn from the binding strip to be inserted between the match striking surface and the binding strip exterior surface when pressure is applied to the match book cover in the direction forcing the striking surface toward the binding strip. The matchstick head is ignitable only when pressure is placed on a back portion of the match book cover directly over the match head to force both the striking surface and the binding strip against the inserted match head, whereby the match head may be withdrawn from the match book cover to frictionally raise the match head temperature to its ignition point.
