JOHN HUGHsoN, or BUFrALaxNEW YORK.
Letters Patent Ne. 94,496, dated September 7, 1869.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making-part ofthe same.
To all whom it may conce/rn: l
Be it known that I, JOHN HUGHsoN, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie, in the State of New York, have invented a new and improved Mode of Constructing Rat-Traps; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description thereof, reference being'had to the accompanying drawings,
vand to the letters of reference marked thereon.
trap-doors B B, and the perpendicularly-suspended trap-door A.
A A are two perpendicularly-suspended trap-doors. rIhey are securedby means of a hinge, with their upper ends to the inside of the `back wall of the trap, Said trapdoors are somewhat shorter than the entera ing holes, which they are calculated to close. It will be observed, that as these doors are hungA to the inside, and so as to leave a portion of the entering-holes open, a rat or mouse can easily get to the inside of the trap, and that as soon as a rat or mouse puts its head past the door A, it cannot go back any more, but will be obligedto go to the inside of the trap. 1
B'B are two horizontal trap-doors, which are pro.- vided each with a small shaft, B', at its middle. Said ldoors have their fulcra on said shafts. The front door B is also provided with a bait-hook. C. By means of said two doors, B B, the trap is divided into two compartments, the upper, or entering compartment, and the lower, beneath the trap-doorsB B, the receiv ing-compartment. Said doors are secured by means of shafts B' B into the side walls, in which B B have their bearings. B B are so counterbalanced, that whenever they are. opened, they will.' always fall back in their former position. It can easily be seen, that it' a rat or mouse passes over the trap-doors B B, the same will open (as indicated by the dotted lines of iig. 1) and let the rat or mouse fall through into the lower compartment.
D is the door for letting out. Said door is provided, ou its lower end, with a sharp4 edge, for the purpose of cutting oi the rats heads. This door is sliding up or down, as plainly seen in iig. 1. In order to kill a rat by means of said door, the same is to be suflciently raised, so that the ratmay put its head through, beneath said door, and then D is to be depressed.
E is a door, to enable baiting of the. bait-hook O. A board, of suitable size,.is to be put against the back wall of the trap,`iu order to enable the rats or mice to get to the entrance-holes A A with case.
C lat'm.
lconstructed and to 'operate as and for the' purpose set forth.
