THOMAS E. ANDERSON, OF GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI. v
STICKY FLY-TAPE.
To all whom. it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS E. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grenada, in the county of Grenada and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sticky Fly-Tapes, of which the following is a speci fication.
This invention relates to insect catchers, and more particularly to that class wherein a sticky substance spread upon a carrier, is employed to catch the insects. i
The primary object of my invention, is to provide a tape covered intermediate of its ends with a sticky substance, which may be suspended, and upon which the flies are caught.
Another object, is to provide a sticky fly tape, made of a loosely twisted strip of paper, which upon being suspended,'has a tendency to partly untwist or uncoil.
A further object, is to provide a sticky fly tape, with a means whereby the same can be readily suspended from a ceiling.
Another object is to tape, having its ends stance, so that the tape can be readily handled, with a means whereby the tape can be instantly suspended, a weight being secured to the lower end of the tape, to insure the cord hanging properly. a
With these and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and finally poirted out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described, may be made within the scope of the claim without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals of referenciindicate similar parts :Figure 1 shows a stickyfly tape embodying my invention, in its unfolded condition. Fig. 2,

Fig. 5 shows a side view of the carton, Fig. (3, is a section through one of the fly cords folded six times. Fig. 7 shows a view disclosing one end of the cord untwistcd.
It is well known, that a fly will alight upon a suspended tape or string, in preter- Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed September 10, 1910.

any other object. In my present invention, I make .use of this habit of the fly, in that I provide a sticky tape, which can be made at a very low cost, which will prove effective and be sightly, as well as include a means wherebythe tape can be instantly secured to a ceiling or'other suitable supporting means.
In the drawings, the numeral 5, designates a tape, made of a loosely twisted strip of paper, which intermediate of its ends is covered with any suitable sticky material intended to entangle the feet of the fly, and hold him to the tape. To the upper end a, as shown, and which is free of any sticky material, is secured the fastening means. This fastening device is in the form of a push pin, and includes the coil 2, from which laterally extends the loop 3, while extending from the center of the coil, is the point 01: pin 1. As shown, the upper end of the tape is tied to the loop 3. To the opposite or lower end of the tape, I secure a weight forming member. This member as shown, comprises a metal ring 7 made of a flanged strip of metal, arranged to hold the preferably paper disk 6, upon which a suitable advertisement may be printed. This disk should be made of absorbing paper, for if any of the sticky substance should then trickle down, it will be absorbed by the disk. This lower member serves a further function, in assisting the tape hanging plumb.
The loosely twisted tapes with a proper coating of sticky material, are folded several ence to times, and then wrapped in a sheet of para manner permitting the two aflm paper, in uncovered ends being readily grasped. The tape is then packed in a suitable carton, which is preferably triangular, as shown in Fig. 4:. The carton is made of a sheet of paper board 9, and provided with a suitable wrapper 10. The ends of this Wrapper 10, are forced into the openended carton. Where the tapes which in their twisted condition resemble cords are folded six times, as shown in Fig. age is formed.
Each catcher'can be readily removed from the carton, and its wrapper. Then to hang the same, the operator draws out the tape and pushes the pin into the ceiling. The weight 7, will assist in drawing out the tape. Now in its suspended position, there is a tendency on the part of the tape, to partly 6, a practically round packgas or other fixture.
uncoil. This uncoiling or untwisting is slow and gradual, so that as the tape gets old, new and fresh sticking surfaces are exposed. The tape finally having become covered with flies, is preferably burnt.- As the push pins do not Wear out, but one need be furnished with each package or carton of fly tapes. As the Weighted members serve as an advertising means, I prefer to attach one to each fly tape. From the foregoing it will be seen that under torsion the loosely twisted-tape unwinds to expose the hidden face. If desired, a string can be secured to the ring 3, so that the tape can be attached to a So also, can the ring 3 be brought into engagement with a hook.
The tapes are simple and inexpensive in construction, efficient in operation, and the adjustment of the tapesmaybe effected with ease and despatch. If desired the carton may be round or square.
Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is-
A device of the character described comr paper tape which prising a loosely twisted has both faces covered with a sticky sub stance and unwinds under torsion, a securing means fastened to one end of said tape and a weighted member secured to the other end of said tape.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
