  • Match packages
    Patent number: 3939970
    Abstract: A match package is provided which is meant to be child-proof. It has the appearance of an ordinary package of matches, and is preferably even printed on its outer surface to simulate a striking surface. However, the actual striking surface is concealed behind the simulated striking surface, so that unless the person lighting the match is aware of its location, the match will not light.
