PATENT oFFIcE.
FLY-TRAP.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 21, 1914.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it lmown that. I, WATSON BEEBE, a citizen of theV United States of America, residin at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and tate of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fly- Traps, of which the followin is a speciiication, reference being had t erein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to fly traps and particularly to an arrangement thereof whereby an ordinary glass jar may be employed and whereby a neat and inexpensiveconstruction is obtained that is very eiiectivein operation.
The invention consists in the matters hereinafter set forth and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view, partially in elevation and partially broken away and in section, of a ytrap that embodies features of the invention; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the trap with the jar removed, showing a section line I, I that indicates the plane of sectional view of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 -is a view in detail of a' base plate blank before application to the trap.
ReferringA to the drawings, a conoidal screen l of wire or other suitable material mond-shaped mesh openings.l An opening` is formed at the crown or apex of the screen.
is formed` by indenting a suitable piece thereof in such manner as to present dia- The marginal portion 2 of the screen is bent out to form a flange that 'overlies the marginal portion of a generally circular aperture 3 in a base 4. The latter is preferably formedy of sheet metal with dovnturned marginal flanges 5 that support it at an interval from the surface on which it rests. Inwardly projecting tongues 6 are formed around the periphery o'f the aperturev 3 of the blank of the base 4. yThese are upbent and passed through the screen 1 whose mesh strands are readily spread to widen the mesh openings sufficiently `to permit this.
The tongues are' outbent over an inner an-A nular ange 7 of a collar having@ ange 9 that is screwthreaded or otherwise formed to receive the neck 10 of an inverted jar 11 of translucent or transparent material. Preferably the-'collar stamped out of sheet metal and'lis screw4threaded for connection In operation, the light through the jar attracts insects that crawl beneath the base s6 that the latter work their way up through the inner face of the screen and out through the. opening at the apex of thescreen. As the construction is very rigid the weight of the jar does not tend to deform it and suiicient space is also insuredby the use of the downturned end flanges of the base to permit the passage of iiies or the like on to the base into the screen. By the vdisposition of the screen and its formation as indicated, it
wonxs,
may be secured in place without cutting any of its fibers so that it is not liable to apart.
Obviously, changes in' the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention and I do not care to limit myself to the particular 'form or arrangement of parts.
What I claim is:-
v 1. A fly trap comprising a metal base plate resting on downturned end anges and having a central aperture, a conical screen having a flange at its wider end superposed on the aperture margin of the base, a collar having an inner annular Bange superposed onthe ange ofthe screen and an'upwardly extending flange, tongues formed on the base at the margin of the opening and bent upwardly to pass through the mesh of the screen and reverted o n the collar flange, and an inverted jar having a neck detachably inwork ,terlockd with the upper flange of the collar.
2. A Hy trap comprising a metal base plate resting on downturned end flanges and having a central aperture, a conoidal screen having a iange at its wider end superposed` on the aperture margin of the base, a collar .having an inner annular ange superposed on the flange of the screen and an upwardly extending ange, tongues formed on the base at the margin of the opening and bent upwardly to pass through the mesh of the screen and reverted on thecollarigilange, and aninverted jar having a neck detachably interlocked with the upperiange of the collar. In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses. i
