ABSTRACT:
A safety match packet in which the front and back covers that enclose the comb of safety matches are formed from a single sheet of material. In addition, the sheet of material has a double folded end that receives the base of the safety match comb and the double fold forms a transversely extending pocket that is open at both ends and has at least one of its inner surfaces lined with a safety match igniting material. A safety match may be removed from the comb of matches and, after the front cover is closed, the match head may be inserted into the pocket from either end and then with a sufficient compressive pressure applied by the thumb and fingers of one hand on the outer walls of the pocket and a quick outward pull on the end of the match with the other hand, the safety match will be ignited without any chance of the person burning the fingers or face.
