Description
April 14, 1936. Q S 2,037,431
FLY PAPER PROTECTIVE DEVICE Filed Aug; 3, 1934 law mud Patented Apr. 14, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FLY PAPER PROTECTIVE DEVICE Thomas Frederick OConnell, Dedham, Mass.
Application August 3, 1934, Serial No. 738,278 lClaim. (01.43-115) My invention relates to a device for protecting and hanging in a suspended position strips or stringers of sticky fly paper.
One object of my invention is to provide a device that will guard a strip of fly paper from a person brushing against it, and hold it in suspended position.
Another object is to provide means in my device to hold the fly paper strip extended its full length so that it cannot curl.
Another object is to so construct such a device that the used fly paper may readily be removed and another strip readily fastened thereto. In accomplishing these objects it has further been my object to make the construction of my device so simple that it is inexpensive to make.
The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and operative arrangement of parts such as is disclosed by the drawing. The nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible to various changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to be limited to the construction disclosed by the drawing; but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scope of my claim.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevational View of my device in closed position.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of my device enlarged over Figure 1, and broken away in the middle.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of my device in open position and broken away, showing the hook by which it may be hung and also the hook on which the fly paper is hung.
Figure 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a section taken on the line 5--5 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a section taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 1.
As illustrated, my device has a side l and a corresponding side H which serves as a gate. Said sides In and l I are linked together at the top and bottom as at 12, and are reinforced by cross wires l3. Each said side consists of a top wire [5, a bottom wire I6 and two vertical outside wires H at the right and left, and two middle wires l8, all spaced apart, and all integrally connected.
The number of middle wires depends, of course, upon the width desired. Said sides are fastened together by a latch member l9 as best illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawing. Within said sides Ill and II I have shown a strip of fly paper, sometimes called a stringer 2B, which has a small loop 2| at the top by which it is fastened to a hook 22 extending from and integral with the top l of said gate I l. A larger hook 23 extends from said gate top l5, by which my device is hung.
It is customary to enclose said fly paper strip 20 in a roll 24, and in order to accommodate said roll- 24 said middle wires l8 are offset near the bottom as at 25 as best illustrated in Figure 6 of the drawing to form an enlarged portion. This not only accommodates said roll 24; but also serves to keep the fly paper strip 20 out straight, thereby overcoming the tendency to curl, because said r011 cannot move out of said enlarged or offset portion 25.
It will thus be seen that the strip of fly paper 20 is protected from any person brushing against it, While there is plenty of space for flies to pass through and alight on it. The hook 22 makes it easy to remove said fly paper 20, together with the latch member I9, so that it is a mere matter of opening said gate ll, unhooking the strip of fly paper, placing another on the hook, and closing said gate. This device also makes it convenient to place the fly paper adjacent a wall or a window, because of the protection it affords, whereas when the fly paper is unprotected it is likely to contact with and stick to the adjacent wall or window.
My device is preferably made of wire, and each of the sides H and I2 have all portions integrally connected, preferably by spot welding, and the hooks 22 and 23 are also integrally connected to said side I I.
What I claim is:
A fly paper protective device comprising two sides movably connected together, said sides embodying a top and a bottom, said sides being of such shape and so connected that they are adjacent each other when in closed position for a portion of their length and are adapted to receive a fiat piece of fly paper between them, and are widely spaced from each other when in closed position for another portion of their length and are adapted to receive between them in said other portion a roll on the end of said fly paper.
