PAPER-HOLDER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GRANDVILLE F. JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Exeter, in the county of Fillmore and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful PapenHolder, of which the following is a specification.

It is the object of this invention to provide a holder, having pivoted clips, operating in a novel manner to retain a sheet of sticky fly paper in place, so that the same cannot be cast about by the wind, or accidentally displaced from the support upon which it is placed,

With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings,Figure 1 shows the invention in top plan; Fig. 2 is a fragmental section upon the line A-B of Fig. 1, the view showing the clip upturned at right angles to the body and spaced apart from the body, so that one end of a strip of fly paper may be inserted between the clip and the body. Fig. 3 is a section upon the line AB of Fig. l, the View showing the clip swung over so that it will bind a strip of fly paper across the beveled edge of the body and tighten the strip. Fig. 4 is a section upon the line AB of Fig. 1, the View showing the clip turned down into alinement with the body and in a position to hold the strip of fly paper against the Fig. 5 is a fragmental edge elevation, an Fig. 6 is a perspective of the spring plate which serves as a pivotal connection between the body of the device and the bar portion, of the paper holding clip which cooperates with the body.

The holder consists, broadly speaking, of a body 1 and clips 2, the clips being pivoted to the side walls of the body and being adapted to bear against the end walls of Specification of Letters Patent.

the body, to retain the fly paper 16 in place upon the body 1, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

In a more detailed description, the body 1 consists of a pair of parallel side pieces 3, spaced apart. Strips 4 are secured in any desired manner to the ends of the side pieces 3. The strips 4 extend slightly below the side pieces 3, as shown at 5, whereby to space the side pieces 3 apart from the support upon which the device is placed. The ends of the strips 4 protrude, as shown at 6, beyond the outer faces of the side pieces 3.

The clips comprise bars 7, to which are secured hinge plates 8, united by pivot elements 9 with the ends of the strips 4;, securing elements 10 being extended through the hinge plates 8, to securethe bars 7 between the hinge plates 8. The hinge plates 8 are resilient, and are transversely corrugated, as shown at 11, so as to act as retractile springs.

The outer, upper edges of the strips 4: of the body, are beveled, as shown at 12, to define an edge let. In one of the bars :7 of the clips, an eye 15, or like suspension device is inserted.

In practical operation, the fly paper 16 is placed upon the body 1, the bars 7 being tilted upwardly, into the position shown in Fig. 2. The bars 7 are then swung into the position shown in Fig. 3, whereupon each bar will bind one end of the fly paper 16 against the edge 14, thus drawing the fly paper 16 taut when the bar 7 is swung down to holding position, as shown in Fig. 4:, the bar being engaged with the outer face of the strip 4, thus retaining the fly paper 16 in place upon the body 1.

.The plates 8 act, not only as hinge members, but, at the same time, act as retractile elements, adapted to draw the bars 7 against the strips 4, to hold the fly paper in place as will be understood by a comparison oi Figs. 1 and 5.

Havin thus described the invention, what is claime is A fly paper holder comprising a body includin side pieces; strips secured to the ends 0 the side pieces and prolonged beyond the side pieces, the upper, outer edges of the strips bein beveled; spring plates piv- In testimony that Ielaim the foregoing oted to the en 5 of the strips and provided as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signa- With transverse corrugations; bars secured, ture in the presence of two witnesses. between the spring plates, and adapted to GRANDVILLE F. JONES.
