FLY-CATCH ER.
vS1312ClFtldlIOll' forming part of Letters Patent No. 491,427, dated February 7, 1898.
Application tiled August 29,1892. Serial No. 444,406. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom may concern:
Be it known that I, GILBERT D. HonroN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Snohomish, in the county of Snohomish and State of lVashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hanging Fly-Catchers; and l do declare the follow ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to maire and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.
Figure l oi the drawings is a side view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the receptacle and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cap and screw-eye.
This invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in fly catchers, the object being to provide a simple, inexpensive, and effective device of this character, and the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a piece of string, cord or other material, oi' any desirable length, the surface of which is provided with a coating of any suitable sticky or adhesive substance, such as used in the preparation of iiy paper. Resin, lard, and brown sugar melted together Will be found suitable for the purpose. This string or cord is usually suspended from the ceiling or other suitable support, either single or in series, as illustrated, at a point or points Where iiies are most likely to alight. On the upper end of the cord or string is a screw eye, hook or nail o., by means of which said cord or string may be conveniently attached to and suspended from the support. On the lower end is a cup, box or receptacle C, which may be of any shape, size, and material, and which is designed to catch any drip from the string or cord that may occur in Warm Weather.
As is well known, nies are accustomed to alight upon the ceiling, especially at night, and any device suspended from the ceilingis particularly calculated to forni an alighting place for them. lt will therefore be apparent that the cord or string with its adhesive coating, will prove exceedingly effective in catching them.
The screw eye a may be inserted through the cap D, which can be used as a cover for the drip cup, when the device is not in use. lVhen one string or cord becomes full, it may be quickly taken down and replaced by another.
Having described this invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent The herein described ily catcher, comprising a suspended cord, having a sticky or adhesive coating, an open cup or receptacle to which the lower end of said cord is attached, and a cover D normally removed from said cup or receptacle and carrying a fastening device by which itis attached to an overhead support and to which the upper end of the cord is fastened, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof l affix niy signature in presence of Witnesses.
GILBERT D. HORTQN.
