FLY-TRAP.
Application filed October 7, 1912. Serial 110.724,393..
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 1,1913.
To all whom tmag/ concern: B/
Be it known that I, JOHN" MEADOWS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Yukon, in the county of Canadian and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new andI trap.
My invention Jfurther contemplates various improvements in fly traps for the p-urpose of increasing the general eiiiciency of the latter in a number of ways.
Reference is made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which. like letters indicate like.k
part-s.
Figure 1 isa perspective showing my limproved fly trap complete; Fig. 2 is a sub- A number of corner bars 4, each made .of
. sheet metal bent substantially to L-shape ,in
cross section are inclined relatively to each other and secured `at their upper ends to a ferrule 5 which is threaded internally and fitted with a screw stopper 6. This stopper is provided with a thumb piece 7 to facilitate its removal and replacement. A number of panels 8 made of wire netting, and in this instance having triangular forms,` are connected with the corner bars 4. These panels may be conveniently made of a single piece ofA wire netting bent substantially into the form of a pyramid. The four corner be'nds' of the pyramid extend respectively into the corner bars 4. lThe wire netting is` secured at its top lto the ferrule 5, preferably by soldering. The ferrule. 5-is soldered to the integral with it, formed by mere y bending or cupping the upper edge of the sheet metal of the bar slightly inward, as indicated 1n Fig. 2. Each side bar 9 is further provided with a tongue ll integral with it and located substantially midway between its end and with two upturned portions 12 disposed upon opposite sides of the tongue. The upturned portions l2 partially close upon and effectively .clamp the lower edges 'of the panelsy 8 of wire metal. l
The inner member or throat of the trap is removable from the outer and larger niember thereof and may be seen more particularly` in Fig. 3. Four angle bars 13 are brought substantially together at their upper ends and at their lower ends are a number of base bars 14. These base bars are made of sheet metal, each having its lower edge turned inward and upward, as indicated in Fig. 2. Four panels 16 of wire netting are mounted upon the angle bars 13 and may, if desired, be formed from a single piece of material. The vbottom edges of these panels are raw and are in engagement with thevbase bars 11, being protected by the inneimedges 14a of the latter, which as just explained, are bent slightly upward, as shown in Fig. 2. panels 16, together with the upper ends of the angle bars 13, are formed so as to present an opening 15.
lIn order to remove the inner member or throat, the operator merely springs the tongues 11 downwardly and outwardly and then withdraws the throat as a whole from the lower openl end of the device. To replace the throat, the tongues 11 are again sprung outwardly, and the throat is now thrust into position, the tonguesv 11 springing inwardly to their normal positions.
In order to ship a number of the traps,'the throats, owing to their pyramidal form, are simply nested onegwithin' tlieotheil so as to take up aminimum of space. Similarly the outer and larger body portions may be readily nested one within the other for purposes of shipment. main members, each being of a shape rendering it easy to clean und to be nested for the purpose above indicated.
In order to remove the flies, the stopper 6 The upper edges of thev 10o The trap thus has two is removed bv aid of the thumb piece 7 and nozzle, and after being lodged in the paper y bag, the flies are easily destroyed. TheA porsaid sdebarsbeing Inade of sheet metal and' each having in -lntrned lportion lniegml y Iveedi'ljyy dislodged.
I do 'not limit myselftoltlle exact arrangement shown, as variations. may be made therein Without departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I oleifn as new and desire to securel by Letters Patent is as follows A' trap comprising a plurality 'of corner bars, panels of Wire cloth extending from one of said comer bars to another, side bars extending fromone corner bar to another,
to its -lowerl edge, said upturned portion slightlyy overlapping the adjacent edge, portion ot one of said panels, each side baufloe-4 ing furtherv provided Wit-l1v a sprngton "e, V
and a throat member provided Wlth` asebers andl adapted to be held. in position by engagement' of the tonguesl with said base bars, said throat member being further pi'o'-l 'l A' videdWth-panels 'for engaging the said `1n turned edges of said side bars, in order k*as support thebodies of insects.
