Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 6, 1914.
Application filed February 1, 1913. Serial No. 745,530.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT G. KLnrT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fly-Traps, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in fly traps.
The object of my invention is to provide an inexpensive form of device in which the removal of the fly receiving compartment provides a convenient means for access to the other parts of the trap, regard being had for elhcioncy, economy oi space, and maximum capacity in the attraction and trapping of the flies.
in the drawingsFigure 1 is a plan View of a fly trap embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the base member and table, drawn to a reduced scale and with the table partially broken away.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the views.
A compartment A is preferably in the form of vertically disposed chamber having a bottom A and a removable cap A. This chamber is adapted to enter the open truncated end of tapered member B, the height of which is preferably less than the height of the chamber A. A base wall C supports the lower end of the tapered member 13. and inner walls J support a table J upon which the base of the chamber A may rest.
The margins of the table are extended at K to form a support for bait pans E, and connect the table with the base wall Cwhich is provided with slots F through which flies may pass into the annular space between the walls J and C, said flies being then permitted to pass up 'ardly into the space between the taperer member B and the lower portion of the chamber A. Near the top of the tapered member 13, the chamber A. is pro vided with a series of apertures G through which the flies may pass from the space M, inclosed by the tapered member B, to the space X within chamber A. The chamber A may be removed from time to time for the extermination of the flies, the dead flies being removed by taking oii the cap A. When the chamber A is removed from the member B, convenient access is afiorded to the bait pans and also to the annular space inclosed by the walls J and C. The periphery oi the chamber A, its cap A, the mem ber l3 and wall C are preferably formed of wire netting. The remaining parts may be formed of any material convenient for the purpose.
I claim 1. The combination of a base provided with supporting flanges, a table supported from the base, a chamber mounted upon said table and composed of reticulate walls, a truncated tapered member supported from the base with its upper margin embracing said chamber, said chamber being provided with apertures communicating with its interior from the space between the chamber and said truncated tapered member, and means for admitting flies to the last mentioned space from the exterior, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a truncated tapered member, composed of wire netting, a chamber also composed of wire netting and adapted to enter the upper end of said truncated member, said chamber being provided with apertures communicating with its interior from the exterior space inclosed by said truncated member, a base provided with apertures for the admission of flies to said last mentioned space, and means for supporting bait pans in a position to attract flies from the exterior through said openings, substantially as described.
The combination with a truncated tapered member, composed of wire netting, a chamber also composed of wire netting and adapted to enter the upper end of said truncated member, said chamber being provided with apertures communicating with its interior from the exterior space inclosed by said truncated member, a base provided with apertures for the admission of flies to said last mentioned space, and means for supporting bait pans in a position to attract flies from the exterior through said open ings, said chamber being closed at the bottom and being provided with a removable cap, substantially as described.
in testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
