Application filed December 16, 1913.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that we, FRANK M. CRABTREE and WILLIAM H. CRABTREE, citizens of the United States, residing at Dorrance, in the county of Russell and Statel of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Insect-Traps, of which the following is a specification.
rlhis invention relates to traps and more particularly to insect traps.
The particular object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient trap which will be constructed of durable materials and yet inexpensive to manufacture, the particular arrangement embodying a relatively heavy supporting framework on the inside of the screen fabric so as to prevent the screen from being caved in from exterior blows.
Another object of the invention is to provide simple and efficient means for retaining the lid in position so that it may be wholly or bodily removed from the trap, thereby providingclear access to the entire interior of the trap so as to remove the insects.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this application, and in which 2- Figure l is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view. Fig` 3 is a detail horizontal sectional view showing the manner of connecting the side edges of the frame. Fig. l isan enlarged detail vertical section showing the method of ljoining the edges of the screen fabric to the frame.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, l represents a frame which is constructed preferably of heavy electrically welded wire netting of ten or eleven gage or thereabout. The outer longitudinal wires of the netting are severed at the top of the frame immediately adjoining the inner top horizontal wire while at the bottom of the frame the longitudinal or vertical wires are extended beyond lthe lowest inner horizontal wire so as to form supporting feet 2. The
` frame is then rolled into cylindrical form Specification of Letters Patent.

serial No. 807,116,
and the side edges thereof joined together by passing the contacting marginal vertical wires between the arms of U-shaped clips 3. Surrounding this frame and spaced therefrom by the vertical wires is a screen wire fabric l whose marginal edges are overlapped to overlie the contacting vertical wires and connected together by the arms of clips 3. Said arms are then bent in opposite direction to lie in a plane parallel with the closed end of the U-shaped members and contact with the overlapping portionsof the screen fabric so that, any tendency of the wire frame to expand due to its natural inherent resiliency will cause the overlapping portion of the screen fabric to bind against the arms of the staple and hold the vmeeting endsof the same in contact. Arranged within the receptacle thus formed and joined to the bottom edge of the screen fabric l by means of staples 6 isa foraminous cone 7 having an opening 8 of small diameter in its upper end so as to permit the passage of the iiies or other insects from the interior of the cone into the interior of the receptacle.
A suitable top, preferablyof imperforate material, is mounted upon the upper end of the frame and is held in position thereagainst by a plurality of springs 9 having hooks 10 at their upper ends to engage in small openings formed in the top adjacent its edge. By disconnecting the hook 10 the top may be swung away from the frame so as to permit the trap to be emptied.
What is claimed is In a trap of the class described, a wire frame bent in cylindrical form and having vertically extending wires contacting throughout their length at its meeting ends, a wire fabric encircling said frame eXteriorly thereof and having overlapping ends overlying the contacting vertical wires, U- shaped clips having arms receiving the vertically extending wires and passing through the overlapping portions of the wire fabric, the ends of said arms being bent in opposite directions to lie in a plane parallel with the' closed end of the clips and contact with the overlapping portions of Ythe Wire fabric In testimony whereof We affix our signa- Whereby, any tendency of the Wire frame to tures in presence of tWo Witnesses.
expand Will cause the overlapping ends of FRANK M. CRABTREE. the vWire fabric to bind against the arms of WILLIAM H. CRABTREE.
