ABSTRACT:
A safety cover is provided for matchbooks whereby individual matches may be struck with the head safely enclosed within a sleeve formed integral with the cover in order to make it difficult for the matches to be struck by children and avoid accidental ignition of other matches in the book should the cover be open and a match struck. The matchbook includes a conventional stick of cardboard matches with a cardboard flap cover attached along the baseline of the matches and an abrasive striking surface on the lower edge of the book. The abrasive strip is enclosed within a folded extension of cardboard, aluminum or the like to form a tubular enclosure or sleeve. The match is struck by simply tearing off the match from the stick of matches, inserting the head of the match in the sleeve, pressing against the outside of the sleeve and then pulling the match outwardly in a sharp stroke.
