WILLIAM HENRY LEAMAN, JR.,.OF MERIDEIN, CONNECTICUT.
. HOLDER roia FLY-PAPER.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. LEAMAN, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meriden, in the county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Holder for Fly-Paper; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact descriptionof'theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same. This invention relates to an improved holder for flypaper, whereby flies may be caught on the wall, ceiling or upon any other surface.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a flanged body having improvedmeans for detachably holding a sheet of flypaper, whereby, when the flanged body is placed over a fly on the wall or ceiling, the fly will endeavor to escape in the direction of the flypaper and become caught, in other words, entrapped, owing to the flanges of the body preventing the escape of the fly in different directions.
A further object of the invention is to provide improved means for attaching a stick, rod or pole to the flanged body detachably.
A further object of the invention is to provide means whereby the body may be moved to different angles.
In practical fields, the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features, and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, and claimed.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the improved combined flypaper holder and catcher, constructed in accordance with the invention.
' Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the holder or flycatcher.
Fig. 4 illustrates views of the means for pivotally and detachably connecting a pole to the bottom of the holder.
Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates a body comprising the bottom 2 and the side flanges 3 and 4c. This body is constructed from a single piece of sheet metal, which is stamped or constructed to form the. bottom. and side flanges.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patgnted Sept, 11, @917, Application filed. December 15, 1916. Serial No. 137,154.
These flanges at their upper edge portions are provided with rolls 5, to receive the stiffening or strengthening wire 6. However, the rolls at corners of the body are cut away, thereby leavingthe wire uncovered. One of the sides 3 or flanges is provided with inwardly extending ears or lugs 7, which are struck up from portions 8 of the roll of the respective flange 3. These ears tor lugs project through the openings 9 of one of the flanges 3, and are just high enough from the bottom of the body to permit one edge portion of a piece of fly paper to engage thereunder to assist in holding the fly paper in place. The other flange 3 has riveted thereto by means of the rivets 10 on the exterior of the flange, a leaf spring 11, which has a laterally extending lug 12, to extend through an opening 13 of said flange 8, and is just high enough from the bottom of the body to'permit the opposite edge portion of the sheet of fly paper to engage under the same. It is to be noted that by pulling the leaf spring outwardly, the lug 12 may be pulled through its opening 13, to permit the insertion and removal of the fiy paper.
Secured upon the bottom or under face of the body by soldering or the like is a pair of wire members 14, which extend from near the center of the underface of the body toward the corners thereof, and terminate in coiled eyes 15, forming legs whereby the body may be supported upon a table or the like.
Secured to the underface of the body by means of rivets or the like 16 is a plate 17 which is provided with ears 18 struck up from the plate. A staff or pole 19 is provided, whereby the body may be connected thereto. One end of this pole or staff has a reduced part 20, which is secured in a cap sleeve 21 by means of a transverse pin 22. This cap sleeve is exteriorly threaded, in order to be threaded into coupling sleeve 23, which is provided with a V-shaped lug 24, which is flat, and is in turn pivoted between the ears 18 on the pin 25. By this construction of joint between the flanged, body and the pole or staff, the staff may be easily detached, and the flanged body may be disposed in different pivotal positions, so that flies may be caught on the side walls or the ceiling of a room, or on any other surface of a different angle. In other words, the flanged body may be disposed substantially parallel with the surface with Which it is to be engaged, then the body may be placed over the flies tobe caught, the fly in its endeavor to escape Will strike on the sticky surface of the fly paper.
The invention having been set forth, What is claimed as new and useful is A flypaper holder, comprising a body having flanges upon four of its edge portions having their upper portions provided with rolls, parts of the roll of one of said flanges having extension tongues, the flanges adjacent said tongues having openings, through which tongues are bent forming lugs under which one edge of a piece of flypaper engages, the flange opposite the flange having the first openings having an opening, and a leaf spring secured to the flange having the last named opening and proopposite edge portion of said sheet of flypaper engages, and a pair of. Wires securedv to the bottom of the body and extending to- Ward the corners thereof and terminating in coiled eyes forming body.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses. v V i \VILLIAM HENRY LEAMAN, JR. 7
