Match Handle

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.
