FLY CATGHER Filed April 9, 1935 M Q INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 16, 1937 UNITED I STATES FLY CATCHER Rudolf A. Graef,
Laurys Station, Pa.
Application April 9, 1935, Serial No. 15,390
4 Claims.
My invention'has for its object a device adapted to suspend a fly-catching ribbon and to hold it taut in extended condition; further objects are to provide a device which will not interfere with free access to the ribbon or permit contact with its adhesive surface; one which will be readily portable and not bereadily upset; and one which may be utilized inconspicuously in any convenient space which will require little room and will expose the entire surface of the ribbon.
These objects are realized by the device shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view; and Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the base. In these figures, I is a fly-rib- Icon having its surfaces coated with a sticky composition; 2 is the cylindrical casing adapted to contain said ribbon before its withdrawal for use, and to which one end of the ribbon is attached; 3 is a tape attached at the upper end of the ribbon; 4 is a rod bent at its upper end to form a hook 5 over which said tape is looped; 6 is the extremity of said rod adapted to engage a socket 1 in the base 8; 9 is an eye on the base adapted to engage one end of a spiral-spring In; H is a clip attached marginally to the other end of said spring; such clip is preferably in the form of the washer shown as having an eccentric hole l2 adapted to receive the casing 2 and to engage same frictionally and to transmit the tension of tended condition.
As will be understood, I do not intend to limit my invention to the particular means shown, save as the appended claims may restrict same thereto, since it is obvious that the structure may be varied in its details without departure from the spirit of the preferred embodiment of my invention illustrated in the drawing, where is shown a base with a rounded bottom, said base 40 being of such weight and size as to make the device tend to become self-righting when it is tilted; also shown is a spiral spring as an example of an elastic medium adapted to exert a strain upon the fly-ribbon; and also a convenient form of clip for engaging a cylindrical casing, since fiy-ribbon is commonly packaged in rolled form, the ribbon being rolled upon itself and enclosed in a cylindrical container from which it is intended to be withdrawn spirally by pulling 50 upon the loop of tape attached to its core end;
the spring to the ribbon when suspended in ex- Y the other end being made fast to" the interior of the cylindrical shell.
My device is usable, however, with any flycatching ribbon susceptible of attachment, directly or indirectly, at its ends to a common sup port; and it is obvious that it is immaterial at which end of the ribbon the tensioning means is interposed between the ribbon and such support.
With my portable device, the ribbon may be shifted about from place to place, as may be desired, Without risk of damaging the ribbon or undesirably contacting same, and it may be readily detached when it is desired finally to dispose thereof without handling the ribbon itself.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In a fiy-catching device, in combination with a ribbon coated with adhesive, a portable support therefor adapted to hold said ribbon in extended condition, and means interposed between said support and said ribbon adapted to keep said ribbon taut, said means including an elastic element attached to said support.
2. In a fly-catching device, the combination of an adhesive ribbon, a rigid support, a base for said support, an arm on said support adapted to detachably engage one end of said ribbon; a spring attached to said base, and means attached to said spring adapted indirectly to engage the other end of said ribbon.
3. In a fly-catching device, the combination of a cylindrical casing; an adhesive ribbon adapted to be withdrawn from said casing and having one end secured thereto; a rigid support adapted to engage the free end of said ribbon; a base for said support; and means mounted upon 3 said base adapted to engage said casing and to hold said ribbon under tension when extended, said means including an elastic element attached to said base and a clip attached to said elastic element and adapted to receive and retain said casing.
4. A portable support for fly-catchers of the ribbon type, including a rod bent at one end to provide an attaching means; a base for said support, a spiral-spring mounted on said base and an attaching means affixed to said spring, said means permitting detachable attachment to a ribbon.
