Who invented safety matches?
Johan Edvard Lundstrom patented his safety match in 1855, in
Sweden. He had come up with the idea of putting some red
phosphorous on sandpaper inside the box of matches, with different
chemicals on the match head. The match would remain unlit unless it
was struck against the specially prepared striking surface.
The matchbook was developed and patented by Joshua Pusey in
1889, with the striking surface on the inside. The Diamond Match
Company had invented a similar matchbook, but with the striker on
the outside. In 1996, they bought Pusey's patent and made him a job
offer with their company. They went on to patent the first
nonpoisonous match in the US.
