METHOD OF AND MEANS FOR PRODUCING INTERMITTENT FLARES (fwd/Z1 6 2x206 Filed March 13, 1928 r 1 attmmu Patented Oct. 8, 1929 JUDSON E. GIBBS, OF ROCK RIVER, W YOMIIN'G METHOD OF AND MEANS FOR PRODUCING INTEBMITTENT FLARES Application .filed March 13, 1928. Serial No. 261,387.
This invention relates to a method of and a means for producing intermittent flares to be used for repelling coyotes and other animals, the principal object of the invention being to provide an inexpensive but efficient preparation which can be easily positioned in a container, the preparation being of a slow burning substance which, when ignited, will set ofl flares and explosive devices successively at predetermined intervals.
WVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain ingredients mixed to produce a fuse material in which are arranged simple and inexpensive flare producing devices adapted to be ignited by the fuse.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a device constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view through the device.
The fuse material is formed of a mixture of gun powder and sulphur, one pound of sulphur being used in a mixture with one hundred grains of gun powder. This material when thoroughly mixed is positioned in a can or container indicated by the reference character 5, which container is provided with vertical spaced openings so constructed that they will accommodate fuses or explosive devices supported in a device such as shown in my Patent Number 1,7 09,127 and with which the fuse material is employed.
The mixture is indicated by the reference character 6 and as shown, flares 7 are used, the same being embedded in the fuse material as shown by Figure 1, the flares embodying five grains of powder to the flare, the powder being wrapped in a suitable fusible wrapper.
When it is desired to use the inventionflth e fuse material is positioned in a container or a support, and the fuse material lighted by the application of burning waste. The fuse material will burn slowly, the sulphur producing an odor objectionable to the animals to be repelled while the gun powder mixed therewith will accelerate combustion and also produce a sparkling flame.
As the flame reaches a flare, the gun powder contained therein will be ignited, producing an explosion and light flare. The fusematerial will continue to burn past the ignited flare until another flare is reached, whereupon the foregoing actio The invention is advantageous notonly because of the low cost at which it can be made, but also because it may be readily and easily n will be repeated.
positioned and will produce not only the sparkling flame to frighten wild animals, but
produces objectionable fumes to repel the wild animals.
Strips of material such as paper, are indicated by the reference character 8, and normally close the openings 9 formed in the side of the container, the openings being designed to receive fuses of detonating devices used in connection with the container, it being ob vious that when the fuses are positioned, the strips of paper are punctured so that the fuses may be extended into the slow burning mate rial forming the fuse 6.
What is claimed A device for repelling wild animals, comprising a contalner having openings formed in the wall thereof and arranged in vertical spaced relation with each other, a cartridge comprising a mixture of slow burning material, flare producing devices embedded in the slow burning material and in vertical spaced relation with each other substantially centrally of the container, paper strips normally covering the openings, to prevent moisture from entering the container through the openlngs when the device is not in use.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have he reto affixed my signature.
