construction and facilitate the carrying out of the device.
A still further object is to promote sanitary conditions attending the use of the tra still further object is to provide for expediting storage, shipment and cartoning of the device.
Still other ob]- ects of the invention will be later disclosed further along in connection with the fuller disclosure of the nature thereof.
The invention consists of the instrumentalities and features substantially as hereinafter disclosed and defined by the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention, wherein it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made.
as to the detailed construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit thereof, Figure l is a perspective View of the fly or insect trap. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional collapsed view of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the trap-forming blank with only a fragment of the viscous or sticky substance disclosed. i
In carrying out my invention, l preferably employ a carton or receptacle l for the application of the beguiling or entrapping bait, which receptacle or carton is preferably collapsible and adapted to be suspended in position in use, or it may be otherwise disposed, as presently more fully described.
In the present disclosure of the invention, the receptacle or carton l is preferably triangular in cross-section, although it may be of other angular outline desirable, or, other contour allowing of the collapsing thereof. The receptacle is formed preferably of a continuous piece of stiff-paper or card-board suitably laid oi into rectangular or other Specification of Letters Patent.

shapedV lateral, or top,- and bottom-forming members or panels 2, the same being axially defined by suitably creasing the card-board or paper longitudinally along their lines of demarcation, the trap or receptacle thus `being rendered flexible along said demarcation-lines, and adapted to be collapsed and compactly folded for convenience in storing, packingior shipping the receptacles or traps; yThe receptacle or carton has applied to its inner' or interior surface any suitable viscous or sticky substance, as 14, for use as a ,bait and whereby the fly may become entangled therewith as it alights thereon, and
accordingly be entrapped and retained within the receptacle. It isnoted that in event of the failure of the Hy to alight upon entering the receptacleor trap, or escaping from its entanglement in event of its alighting, it would naturally fly upwardly in an attempt to escape; instead thereof, or its getting away, however, it would contact in such upward flight, with the overhead sticky substance and its capture thus be assured.
It is understood that entrance to the trap `or receptacle is had through its ends 5, the
latter being without closures or left open for that purpose.
Suitable means, as pieces of tape, or strips of textile material 6, 7, are secured to the top and bottom of the receptacle, respectively, for conveniently or readily suspending the receptacle in position and for readily unfolding the same when collapsed, or other suitable means may be resorted to for the purposes indicated. Also the receptacle or trap may be suitably or otherwise disposed for use than suspending it, as for instance,
it may be placed upon a table, a counter. in
ashownwindow, or in any other elevated position. y
rl`he device, by being adapted to entrap the flies from within, also thus serves to retainY them after having been captured or entrapped, out of observation, or from view, and from casually falling to the floor; or, in event of the device being sat upon, or contacting with the clothes, it will not at tach thereto. From these various view-points, it will be seen that the device is characterized for its highly sanitary-promotive qualities, while it is extremely'compact for facility of Storage and shipment, and substitutes paper or cardboard for the use of metal or otherwise 'eX pensive material for devices of this character.
)Wing to the fact that the trap, When opened as shown in Figs. l and 2 is of triangular cross section, the structure assumes a trussed form and the bottom acts as a brace, the construction being such that When the trap is suspended by the member, the trap will not tend to iatten together and bring the inner, sticky faces of the sidewalls into contact.
l/Vhat is claimed is:
An open ended fly trap of triangular cross section and comprising a base and side Walls, the inner faces of Which are coated with a viscous substance, the trap having suspension means -at its apex, the base of the trap constituting a llorace and cooperating with the side Walls to give the trap a trusslike cross section which serves to prevent a distortion of the trap when the same is upheld by the suspension means, the base being foldable along a longitudinal line to bring portions of the base and portions of the side Walls into contact, and to space portions of the side Walls adjacent the apex, thereby avoiding a distortion of the side Walls and a consequent loss of the truss-like construction "when the base is drawn down, and a pendent element secured to the hase at the longitudinal line therein.
lin testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own, l have hereto aliixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses. FRANCIS H. GORDON. vWitnesses SELTNA lVILLsoN, ERNEST F. RILEY.
