1 TARIFF BOOK-SHAPED MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATCHBOX TECHNICAL FIELD The invention consists of an inner coil that holds the matchsticks and an outer coil that surrounds this inner coil. formed, the outer wrapping is designed in book form and for vertical use, the front of the outer wrapping on its surface is a visual surface in the format of a book cover, and on its back surface is a summary of a literary text. where the inner coil is located and can be partially pulled without completely separating from the outer coil. It includes a multifunctional matchbox characterized by containing a string element that provides power. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In the field of matches and ignition products, packaging specifically designed for the storage of matchsticks. Their structures have been produced in a specific standard form for many years. The classic matchstick known in the technology. The boxes, generally designed for horizontal use, consist of an outer wrapping and the inside of this outer wrapping... 15 fully inserted, with an inner wrapping that can be completely separated from it independently. It consists of. In this type of matchbox, the outer wrapping functions as a fixed sheath surrounding the inner wrapping. It is seen that the inner wrapping is a drawer-like compartment into which the matchsticks are directly inserted. It has a structure. When the user wants to access a matchstick, they separate the inner coil from the outer coil. to remove it completely or pull it out significantly, then take the matchstick and Then, the inner wrapping is placed back inside the outer wrapping. This classic structure is found in 20 matchboxes. In addition to its primary function of providing storage and portability for matchsticks, This brings with it various technical and practical problems. First of all, the outer part of the inner coil... Its ability to be completely detached from the bandage makes it particularly suitable for use while moving or in confined spaces. during this process, the inner coil may fall off the outer coil, get lost, or repeat in the wrong direction. This can lead to the insertion of the inner wrapping. Also, if the inner wrapping is completely removed, 25 The matchsticks inside can scatter uncontrollably, which makes them difficult to use. It can also lead to potential safety risks. However, this structure, the inner coil deformation due to friction during repositioning into the outer wrapping It may come loose or not fit properly, causing problems. Another limitation of the technically known matchboxes is that their outer wrapping surfaces are not functional and It is culturally obsolete. In current matchboxes, the front and back of the outer wrapping... Their surfaces often contain brand names, logos, fire warning texts, production information, and barcodes. They are covered with limited and standard graphic content. These surfaces do not contain any informative or educational content. or does not offer cultural content, only fulfills legal obligations and brand identity requirements. 35 They are used as passive spaces. In the previous technique, the outer wrapping surfaces belonged to a literary work. 2 Designed in the format of a book cover, with a summary of a novel or story on the back. or a structural feature such as the title of the work and the author appearing on the side surface in the style of a book spine No modifications have been found. The user can only light the matchbox with the existing products. using it for the incineration function and obtaining no additional value during the packaging's lifespan. This is not possible. This situation is particularly relevant considering the product's collectible value, attractiveness, and user experience. This constitutes a significant deficiency in terms of interaction. The previous technique also involved the fact that matchboxes were not designed visually and structurally in the form of books, It is not designed for vertical use and there is a gap between the packaging surfaces and the literary content. It appears that an integrated relationship has not been established. Products containing literary content, as is known in the technology, are 10 These are presented in the form of books, brochures, magazines, or separate promotional materials. There is no connection between everyday consumer goods like matchboxes and this type of cultural content. There is no integration. This separation prevents cultural content from reaching a wide audience. limiting and limiting the potential for contact with literature through everyday objects. This renders it unusable. However, on the inner bandage, in case of partial detachment, 15 A structural feature, such as presenting the user with a concise quote or phrase, is also a known characteristic in the technology. It is not an application. When all these problems encountered in the current technology are considered together, especially three fundamental ones stand out. The following shortcomings stand out: Firstly, the fact that the inner coil is completely separable from the outer coil. 20 the resulting unsafe usage, part loss and deformation problems; secondly, the outer winding Due to the functional and cultural passivity of their surfaces, the product is single-purpose and low-quality. It has a value-added structure; and thirdly, there is a connection between a matchbox and literary content. The problem is the lack of a structural and visual connection. This invention lies precisely in these points. 25 structural, functional and conceptual improvements over the limitations of existing techniques and familiar matchboxes. It offers an innovative solution that addresses these shortcomings. The invention ensures that the inner coil is completely separated from the outer coil. a rope element that prevents separation, allowing only partial pulling. Thanks to this mechanism, problems such as part loss, dropping, and deformation encountered in previous techniques are eliminated. It aims to eliminate it. However, the front surface of the outer wrapping is the book cover. format visual design, literary text summary on the back and book spine on the side 30 By including the title of the work and the author's name on the packaging, the packaging surfaces are transformed from passive areas. They are removed and transformed into active surfaces that offer cultural content. In addition, the outer layer of the inner wrapping A concise excerpt from the relevant literary work is inscribed on the edge surface located beneath the front surface of the bandage. The inclusion of a word or phrase provides the user with additional textual content during a partial withdrawal. This complements the multi-layered narrative structure of the product. In this way, the invention expands beyond the 35 layers known in the previous technique. Structurally, functionally, and conceptually distinct from all other matchboxes, it offers high safety in use. 3 The result is a multifunctional matchbox that is ergonomic, offers cultural content, and has collectible value. It aims to place it there. Patent document number DE10162721A1 describes a matchbox or match carton. It is stated that the invention consists of a mass containing phosphorus, abrasive material and binding agent. with a matchbox or match carton that has a manufactured friction surface, this friction It encompasses a method for producing the surface of a matchbox. The subject of the invention is a friction surface for a matchbox. The mass forming its surface contains a dye suitable for the printing process. This dye... Thanks to this, it is possible to print various colors and patterns on the friction surface, In this way, the outer surfaces of the matchbox can be visually enhanced. However, 10 In the present invention, the outer wrapping is structured in the form of a book, with a book on its front surface. It features a visual design in the format of a cover and a summary of the literary text on the back, also a cord that allows the inner coil to be pulled partially without completely separating it from the outer coil. It includes the element. In document number DE10162721A1, such a book form, literary content There is no presentation or partial retractable inner winding mechanism; the invention is solely based on friction 15 It focuses on the chemical composition of the surface and the printing technique. In the utility model document numbered DE202004009518U1, a matchbox lid is described. It is stated that the invention involves a rounded or rectangular form of steel, manufactured from refined steel. a 20 that can be folded and closed around a matchbox in a way similar to a book cover. A matchbox, with its long side slightly concave inwards, is compressed inside. It features a matchbox lid that creates a certain effect. This lid is located on the outside of the matchbox. It is added to the surface as a secondary protective and decorative layer, and the form of the cover is similar to that of a book. It resembles the skin. However, in the present invention, the matchbox itself is the outer wrapping and the inner It has an integrated structure consisting of wrapping and is produced directly in book form. 25 In the present invention, there is no addition of a separate metal cover; the outer wrapping alone constitutes the book. It forms the format and includes literary content and book cover design. Additionally, The present invention features an inner coil that is inseparable from the outer coil and can be partially pulled using a cord element. While such a mechanism exists, document number DE202004009518U1 does not contain such a mechanism. It is not present; only an externally attached cover is described. 30 Patent document number JPH06242261A states that a case and a watch body can be separated from each other. The original design refers to a clock assembled in this way. The invention is in the form of a book cover. or a case that can be in the form of a small matchbox and can be attached and detached by sliding it. It includes a watch case that can be slid onto and off the case. The case is 35 inches from the watch. The part corresponding to the dial is made of a transparent material such as glass, and the user He is able to apply an original design to the dial of the watch case he takes out of the case, and then 4 The watch case can be reinserted into the case. This system allows multiple cases to be used in a single watch. It allows the watch to be used with its case and its external appearance to be changed by changing the case. However, in the present invention, the matchbox is related to a clock or safe system. It is not a packaging material, but rather a direct container for holding and igniting matchsticks. In the present invention, the book form is a structural feature of the outer wrapping of the matchbox itself, while 5 In document JPH06242261A, the book form only relates to the external appearance of the watch case. This is a design choice. Furthermore, in the present invention, the inner winding is not separated from the outer winding and is connected by a cord element. While there is a mechanism based on partial withdrawal, this document describes a fully sliding mechanism. A separable mechanism is being described. Patent document GB1193076A describes how the surface of a product is contaminated with particulate solids. The invention describes a method for coating the surface of a product, at least. a liquid composition containing a hardenable synthetic resin-forming agent in one part application of the layer and onto this liquid layer, separate particles of the solid material in question particles that can harden the resin-forming agent and dissolve in the liquid mixture 15 a free-flowing hardening agent that causes the resin-forming substance to harden It involves a method that includes the steps for applying the mixture. This method, especially with matches... products such as boxes or match cartons have friction surfaces with abrasive particles. It was developed for use in coating. The synthetic resin used is phenol-formaldehyde. It can be either urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde resins. However, 20 In the present invention, the matchbox is structured in the form of a book, with the outer wrapping facing forward and backward. their surfaces contain literary content and the inner wrapping is connected to the outer wrapping with a string element without separating. It is a mechanical structure based on partial pulling. GB1193076A However, the document does not contain any information regarding the structural form of the matchbox or the relationship between the inner and outer windings. There is no regulation; the invention relates solely to a chemical process for the production of a friction surface. 25 It focuses on the coating method. The present invention, independently of this method, applies to matches. Its holistic structural design and multifunctionality distinguish it from previous techniques. Investigations revealed that a large portion of the well-known matchboxes in the match and ignition products sector... The majority of them are based on the principle of horizontal use, with an outer winding and completely 30 from this outer winding. It appears to have a standard structure consisting of a detachable inner coil. In current technology, In addition to improvements to the chemical composition of the friction surface or the printing technique, matchboxes with protective covers made of metal or other materials attached to the outside Solutions also exist. However, in all of these solutions, the inner winding is separated from the outer winding. Because it is completely detachable, the inner coil may fall off, get lost, or be incorrectly inserted during use. 35 such as the matchsticks scattering due to being repositioned in the wrong direction or being opened uncontrollably. Fundamental usability issues persist. Furthermore, in the current technology, the outer winding surfaces are only... with limited and standard graphic content such as brand name, logo, fire warning texts and barcodes These surfaces are covered and do not contain any informational, educational or cultural content. It does not offer this. Especially when the matchbox is designed in the form of a book or used vertically. No solution structured according to this principle has been found, nor has a visual representation in book cover format. surface, the back surface showing a summary of the literary text or the side surface showing the spine of the book, and 5 There is no structurally and thematically integrated arrangement, such as the author's name. Some existing ones... The solutions include an externally attached cover in a form similar to a book cover, like a matchbox. This does not change the fact that it is not in book form, and such solutions are not part of the product. It is based not on its basic structure, but only on a secondary element added from the outside. This invention, By addressing all these shortcomings, it prevents the inner wrapping from completely separating from the outer wrapping and 10 a mechanism that allows only partial pulling via a rope element Thanks to this, the problems of part loss, dropping, deformation and uncontrolled opening that were present in the previous technique are eliminated. It eliminates these problems. However, in the present invention, the outer wrapping is directly in the book. It is structured in this form, with a unique graphic design in the format of a book cover on its front surface. The title of the work, a written summary of the relevant literary work on the back cover, and the spine of the book on the side cover. 15 The work and author's name are included in its appearance. Additionally, the inner wrapping and the front surface of the outer wrapping... On the edge surface located below, there is a concise quote or sentence selected from the relevant literary work. This information is being presented to the user during the partial withdrawal process. This allows the current situation to be... The invention transforms packaging surfaces from passive spaces into active areas that offer cultural content. transforming the matchbox from merely a means of ignition into surfaces, book 20 Visually appealing, carrying literary content, raising cultural awareness, and possessing collectible value; multifunctional. It turns it into a product. Ultimately, the problems mentioned above, which cannot be solved with the current technology, are related to the technical aspects. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the field. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a book developed to eliminate the technical shortcomings mentioned above.
