TITUS WHITMORE AND JAMES BEEBE, or WATERLOO, IOWA.
IMPROVEMENT IN FLY-TRAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,444, dated June 25, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, TITUs WHITMORE and JAMES BEEBE, of Waterloo,in the county of Black Hawk and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fly-Traps; and do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
In the said drawing, Figure 1 is a top view of our invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.
The frame D has in it bearings 61 and d for a shaft, 0, which has fixed to it, near its center, a disk, A. The bearings are carefully centered so the disk will revolve easily. On the standard or frame D is soldered a shoulder, a, to which is fastened a disk, B, which has a part of it cut away.' This disk B has a slot,i, cut in it, and the portion of it, 1, between the cut-away part and the slot 6 is twisted so as to have its surface turned at an angle of about forty-five degrees from the plane of the surface of the disk B. The two disks and the shaft are arranged at a slight incline from the horizontal and perpendicular, the lowest point of the incline being near the point where the bent portion lis turned up. This leaves the edge n of the cutaway part furthest from the lowest point of the disks. The whole of these parts are covered by a screen or gauze coming down to the edge of the cutaway portion of the disk B and along the upper edge The opening of theof the bent-up piece 1. cut-away part of the disk B exposes continually a portion of the disk A.
The operation of the trap is as follows: The disk A is moistened with something for bait. The flies light on the exposed portion of the disk, and, when a number have collected, gravitation causes the disk A to revolve until they pass under thebentup portion land are scraped off by the edge 0 of the slot, and they pass up through the slot into the gauze covering or screen. 7
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as my invention, and desire'to secure by Letters Patent, is
An automatically-operatin g fly-trap, consisting of the frame D, shaft 0, and disks A and B, constructed and arranged substantially as described.
