FLY-TRAP.
Application led September 25, 1912.
T 0 all 't0/0m t may concern.'
Be it known that I, Riina G. Pinon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Auburn, in the county of Logan and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful F ly-Trap, of which the following is a specification.
One object of the present invention is to provide an insect trap in which the top and bottom are removably connected. in a novel and improved manner, with an intermediate support, thereby permitting a thorough cleaning of the trap.
Another object of the invention is to provide a trap of the class described, having a supporting portion of novel and improved form.
The invention aims, further, to provide a bottom and a top for the support, each of novel form.
YWith 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 inventionherein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawing: Figure 1 shows the support in perspective; Fig. 2 is a perspective of the top; Fig. 3 is a perspective of the bottom; Fig. t is a fragmental sectional detail, showing the manner in which the bottom interlocks with the support; and Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing the support, the top and the bottom assembled parts be ing broken away.
In carrying out the invention, there is provided a support, the same comprising a top frame 1, fashioned from a single strip of material, one end of which is formed into a hook.2, engaging one side of the top frame 1. The other end of the strip which constitutes the top frame 1, is angularly bent to form a primary upright 3, the upright 3 being bent upon itselfto form a loop-shaped foot t. Beyond the foot 4t, the strip is carried laterally to form a bottom frame 5, the terminal side member 6 ofl which is equipped at its end with a hook 7 engaging the primary upright 3. At spaced points in the frame 5, other, depending, loop-shaped feet 8 may be formed. The frames 1 and 5 are in the present instance shown as of rec- Speccaton of Letters Patent.

tangular contour, but it is entirely obvious that any other contour may be given to these frames, without departing from the spirit of the invention. The support further includes a plurality of secondary uprights denoted by the numeral 9, the uprights 9 having hooks 10 at their upper ends to engage with the angles of the top frame 1, the uprights 9 being provided at their lower ends with hooks 11 which engage around the feet 8. From the foregoing it will be seen that the support is given an approximately frusto-pyran'lidal outline.
The invention further includes a top shown in clearest outline in Fig. 2, the top being fashioned from a single strip of material bent upon itself to form a closure frame 12. One end of the strip which constitutes the frame 12 is bent transversely ofthe plane of the frame to form a depending inwardly projecting hook 14. The other end of the strich terminates in an eye 15 effecting a closing of the frame. At spaced points about the periphery of the frame, depending, inwardly extending loops 1G are formed. As will be understood readily, the hook 14 and the loops 16 may be engaged around the top frame 1 of the support, to hold the member shown in Fig. 2, in place upon the support.
There is provided, in carrying out the invention, a bottom, shown in detail in Fig. 3. The bottom comprises a pair of strips 17 and 18, twisted upon themselves at spaced points as shown at 19, to define an eye 20, the ends of the strips 17 and 18 slant-ing downwardly from the eye 20. The extremities of the strips 17 and 18 terminate in hooks 21, the hooks 21 terminating in inwardly slanting fingers 22. Referring to Fig. 4; it will be seen that the hooks 21 may be engaged with the bottom frame 5 of the support. Fine mesh screen wire covering, indicated at 23, is applied to the strips 17 and 18, another screen wire covering 24 being assembled with the uprights 9 and 3 of the support, and the frame 12 of the top is filled in with fine mesh screen as indicated at 25. 1When the bottom is engaged with the support, as shown in Fig. 4l, the spring lingers 22 bear against the wire screen 24 of the support and engage above the frame 5, and thus the bott-om is held in place.
ln practical operation, the bait is placed beneath the trap, and when the insects {iy upwardly from the bait, they will pass fil@ through the eye 2O and thus be imprisoned within the trap.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is l. In a trap, a support including a covering and comprising a lower frame; a closure for the upper end' of the support; and a bottom comprising an eye, arms radiating from the eye, the arms terminating in resilient means for engaging the lower frame, and a covering connecting the arms.
2. In a trap, a support including a covering and comprising a lower frame; a closure for the upper end of the support; a bottom comprising strips twisted upon themselves to form an eye, the strips being terminally provided with resilient means for engaging the iower frame, and a covering extended between the strips.
3. In a trap, a support including a covering and comprising a top frame; a bottom connected with the lower end of the support; a closure comprising a frame fashioned from a single strip of material, one end of which is engaged with the strip adjacent the other end of the strip, said other end of the strip being fashioned into an inwardly extended hook, there being loopshaped hooks in the strip, the hooks being adapted to engage with the top frame.
I. In a trap, a supporteomprising in a one piece structure, a top frame, a lower frame bent to form loop-shaped feet, and a primary upright connecting the frames; independent uprights having hooks connected with the top frame and engage around the feet; a closure Carried by the top frame; and a bottom carried by the lower frame, the bottom being provided with an opening.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
