' rLY-rArEnInotnEa-i I Application'filed ovember 22,1921.v Serial n). 517,059.

[0 all whom it may concernw" Be it known that I, DAVID LEVY, a-citizen of the United State's,'and"a resident of the city of NewYork, borough er, Bronx, in

the county of Bronx and State of New York,

have invented a new andlm'proved Flyfull, clear, and exact description? I m This invention relates .to improvements 1n fly "paper holders, an object of'the invention 'Paper Holder,of which'the following'is being toprovide improved means for supvenient to use, and another object of this in.-'-'

vention is to provide means for supporting a roll of fly paper in such a manner that it may either serve the function of a sheet, or it may be suspended upon the wall to serve the purpose of the ordinary hanging strip.

A still further object is to provide a holder which will be simple and practicaliin construction, strong, durable and efficient in use, neat and attractive in appearance, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel' features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of my improved holder; v

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof; and Figure 3 is an. enlarged broken view, on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. V

Referring in detail to the drawings, I have used the reference numeral 1 to designate a boxlike frame which includes side walls 2, end walls 3 and a bottom 4, the frame being openon top whereby it presents a substantially trough-shaped structure. This frame is preferably formed ofiwood or other material which lends itself to economy of man- It will be noted that the side walls of the frame are of increased height adjacent each end, as indicated at 5, and that aligned slots 6 are provided in the upper edges of theside walls adjacent their ends. Ituwill :be seen that these slots are curved at their'inner ends for a-"purpose whichwill befhere'ina'fter ap' 1"" parent. In one pairofslots 6,. a shaftjTis mounted. This shaft'is preferably square in cross section and includes reduced ends 8,

circular incross 'sectionand having alhnular grooves therein. forming reduced. p'o rtions which fit'withi'n the'slots 6 and serve to pro vide rotary mounting fortheshaft; 1

At the other end of thef rame a rewinding 2 core lOisprovided.-5This'corejisalso formed with annular reduced endsll, whichfa-r e further reduced, as "indicatedjat' 12 110.; fit

within the other pair (sf-slots 6. The'core 10 is alsosquare or angular in cross section and" a relatively largedisc 13 is fixed to. the core adjacent one end thereof'within the frame.

A similar disc 1a is loosely mounted on the other side of the .core. These discs not only serve tofacilitate the manual turning ofthe core, 'but'also serve toguide the rewin'ding of" 7 paper upon the core. I

. I have indicatedat 15 a cartridge reel hav 7 ing a hollow square core 16, upon which a 1 plurality ofconvolutions of paper 17 V are wound. This paperis'preferably gummed 7 upon one face. The free endyof the paper also carries a square tube 18 of cardboard or other relatively stiff material.

In using the apparatus, the shaft 7 is re" moved from the box, inserted within the core 16and then replaced in its mounting. The v paper is partially unwound from the reel,the

core 10 is removed from the boxorframe, the disc 1 1 is detached-from the core, and the Y 7 tube 18is slipped over the core. The disc 14 may thenbereplaced and the'core 10 then H restoredto its normal position. In order to feed paper from the "cartridge reel on to the} rewinding core it is merely necessarytomanually-turn thediscs 13 "andjll. After a number of flies have been entangled upon the strip of paper exposed between the, shaft 7 p and the rewlnding core, the paper maybe rewound concealing the flies thereon andiex-l posing a fresh gummed portion. It will also I I be noted that when the frame is used in the horizontal position shown in the drawings; any flies which may succeed in crawling off.

the paper will fall into the boxor frame. If s flexible device 19 being provided for "this it proves more convenientto do so, the frame maybe suspended .from a suitable support, a j

purpose at one end of the box. I When the" paper carrying frame is in. suspended position, the curved inner ends of the slots 6 prevent the paper from falling out of the frame.

Although I have illustrated one of the preferred embodiments of my invention, it will be obvious that various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described Without departing from the invention, and hence I do not wish .-to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but shall consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit andscope of the appended claims.

I claim 1. A holder for a strip of fly paper, comprising a frame open at the top and presenting a substantially trough-shaped structure, said frame having the'side Walls thereof of greater height at each end than at ,the center said side Walls at the-ends being formed with openings, a rotatable member arranged in each of said openings, a spool mounted on one of said rotatable members, said spool being adapted to carnyacoiled supply of fly paper, a connecting member secured to one end of said supply of fly paper adapted to connect said fly paper With the other of said rotatable members, and manually actuated means for rotating the last mentioned rotatable member, said manually actuated means acting as a guide for guiding said paper whereby it may be Wound on the last mentioned rotatable member.

2. A fly paper holder, comprising a container open at the top, a shaft rotatably j ournaled at one end thereof, a reel mounted on said shaft, said reel being adapted to contain a coiled strip of fly paper, a square tube connected with one end of said fly paper, a a

square shaft rotatably mounted in the opposite end of said frame and extending through said squaretube, and manually actuated guiding disks mounted onsaid square shaft whereby said tube may be rotated and the fly paper Wound thereon.
