FLY-PAPER HOLDER.

Application led February 19, 1927. Serial No. 169,595.

My invention relates to a holder lor sticky or tacky fly-paper.

The object of my invention is to provide a novel holder for the purpose indicated which will maintain the paper spread and sustained in a manner to minimize the possibilities p ot' other objects contacting therewith.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specilication, it being understood that the drawings are merely illustrative of one example of the invention.

Figure 1 is an elevation ot a fly paper holder embodying my invention, the front sheet of paper being broken away.

Figure 2 is a transverse vertical sectio on the line 2--2 of Figure 1. v

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

In carrying out my invention in accordance with the illustrated example a frame is provided adapted to beheld 'erect and in the illustrated example the frame consists of two similar side frames having side rods 10. Said side trames are adjustably united by transverse bars 11, one having a slot 12 and the other having a bolt 13 and a nut 14, s0 that the holder may be spread more or less and braced adjacent to the bottom of each side trame. j

Said bars 10 of each frame section are braced by cross bars 15 having eyes 16 embracing side rods 10. Each side rod 10 has a clamp 17, here shown as of known form similar to a paper clip or the like, designated by the numeral 17 and adapted to clamp the paper A near each side edge. The two sheets of paper on the respective side frames extend to the top of the holder and are held by a vertically disposed broad clip 18 which is secured by its hinge bolt 19 to side brackets 2O secured by bolts 21 and nuts 22 to the upper ends of the side bars 10.

The clamping end of the clip 18 is disposed at the top and the upper edges of the sheets ofy aper A are brought inwardly and downwar ly between the edges of said clip.

The numeral 23 indicates troughs positioned on the side frames 10 and so located as to be positioned below the lower edges of the paper sheets A to catch any flies dropping from the paper and also to guard the lower edge of the paper.

I would state Jfurthermore that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, 1 do not limit myself strictly to thel exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied without departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. A fly-paper holder including side frames connected together at the top and i diverging at'the bottom, means connecting said side frames at the top, connections between the frames at thebottom to stiften the same, means to hold the papers at the side edges and means to secure thc paper at the i top of the holder.

Q. A ily-paper holder including frames each adapted to receive a sheet oi paper, a clip*V at the top of the frame and having clamping jaws at the upper end side thereof and having the clamping ends of the jaws disposed upwardly said jaws adapted to clamp the sheets of both frames.

8. A ily-paper holder including side frames each adapted to receive a sheet of paper, a clip at the top of the trame and having clamping jaws at the upper -end thereof said jaws adapted to clamp the sheets of both frames; together with means on the frame to clamp the side edges of the paper.

4. A fly-paper holder including side frames each adapted to receive a sheet of paper, a clip at the top of the 'frame and having clampingjaws at thc upper end thereof said jaws adapted to clamp the sheets on both frames; together with brackets on the side frames and an element extending through said brackets and 'torming part of said clip.
