Abstract: My match container and striker for a match handle or holder enables self-sufficient functionality. It does so by incorporating match containment and striking within the application device itself. No secondary component such as a disconnected box of matches is necessary. Within one device a match can be lit and applied with convenience, efficacy, and safety.

Abstract: My match handle allows the application of a match to places difficult to reach. It accomplishes this while also improving safety and reducing waste. The match handle prevents the flame from traveling to the user's hand. This nearly eliminates the risk of being burned by the match flame. Waste is reduced as the handle is re-useable. It can also operate with a shorter than conventional match. These factors result in less material being disposed of with each use. My match handle also incorporates a safe, efficient, and clean way to eject a match once used. The user does not need to reposition ones grip to eject the match. The user does not need to touch the burned match. It is also unnecessary to touch the potentially hot and unclean match holding end.
