CATERPILLA'RQTRAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 523,682, dated July 31, 1894. A ears]. filed March 13, 1894.. Serial No. 503.449. (No model- To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS D. NOONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at 0amden, in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and.
useful Improvements in Caterpillar-Traps; and I do declare the following 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 make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The invention is for preventing caterpillars from ascending the trunk of a tree, and is an improvement on the caterpillar-trap for which Letters Patent No. 505,226, were granted to me on the 19th day of September, 1893. The several parts composing the invention are corrugated to permit of the necessary spreading consequent upon the growth and increased diameter of the tree to which it may be applied.
It consists in a corrugated double-cylinder closed by a corrugated bottom so as to form an annular vessel capable of holding a sticky liquid, and a corrugated trunk-opening in the center, together with a corrugated shedder.
For facility in placing the corrugated-trap on a trunk of a tree, it is divided diametrically and the connecting edges provided with flanges the ends of which are higher than the middle. In practice the corrugated central-opening is brought together around the trunk, and after packing is placed between the flanges they are bolted together.- The corrugated shedder is used to prevent rain from dropping into and diluting the sticky liquid which catches and destroys the caterpillars.
On reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings making part of this specification: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a corrugated caterpillar-trap which embodies my invention. Fig. 2 is a section of the corrugated-trap in perspective. Fig. 3 is a perspective topview of the corrugated-shedder; and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a tree-trunk, and the corrugated-trap with its corrugated shedder fixed to it.
Similar letters refer to similar several views.
A is a double-cylinder or trap preferably made of sheet metal and composed of the corrugated bottom, a, which is integral with the corrugated cylinders or sides, I), c, which form.
a corrugated annular-space, d, for containing a sticky-liquid, and a corrugated central-opening, 6, for the-trunk B of a tree.
For placing the corrugated-trap around the trunk B, it is divided diametrically, and the contacting edges provided witlrflanges O, the
parts in the' ends, f, of which are higher than the middle, g.
.to cross the sticky-liquid.
To intercept rain and keep it from dropping into the trap and diluting the sticky-liquid, I fixa corrugated sheet metal shedder D around the trunk B, at a suitable distance above the trap. It is in sections, j, provided with flanges, 7a, which are bolted together at, Z, for catching and dropping rain beyond the outer rim of the trap. The corrugated inner-rim forms the trunk-opening, m.
'I claim-* 1. A caterpillar trap, composed of the divided corrugated double cylinders 19, c and a corrugated bottom a at right angles to the cylinders and integral therewith, the whole forming an annular space capable of holding a sticky liquid, combined with bolting flanges which form the dividing walls between the sections of the cylinders, said walls being higher at the ends than at the middle thereof,
substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. A caterpillar-trap composed of a divided and corrugated double-cylinder having a'corrugated central-opening for embracing a treetrunk, and a corrugated-bottom between the cylinders forming an annular-space capable of holding a sticky liquid, bolting-flanges which ICO are higher at the ends than at the middle, and corrugated trunk-collar to the corrugated and a corrugated rain-shedder embracing the same vertical segmental-shell and forming with the tree-trunk at a suitable distance above the corrugated flat-bottom of the member a semitrap, for the purpose shown and described. circular receptacle, for the purpose shown and r 5 5 3.
