2 Claims.
The present invention relates to improvements` in ily swatters and more particularly for the same.
An important object of the invention is to proto handles `vide a ily swatter in which the construction of the handle is such that the body member of the swatter is readily replaced when worn or damaged. i
Another object of the invention resides in the y provision of a ily swatter embodying novel means for removably retaining the handle in position in the body member.
The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accomi tially parallel and the loop I6 will be in engage-1 ment with the corrugations II serving to main-` panying drawing and specifically pointed out in parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of a fly swatter embodying the features of the present invention.
Figure 2 is an exploded view illustrating the manner of positioning the handle in the body member.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawing for amore detailed description thereof, the improved ily swatter is generally designated by the reference numeral 5 and includes a substantially rectangular-shaped body member Ii formed of wire gauze or the like, the edges of which are bound by means of a tape 1 stitched or otherwise secured to the body member.
The handle of the ily swatter is generally desi and held by stitching or suitable similar means` indicated by the reference numeral II to form pockets for receiving the ends I2 and I3 of the handle 8, which ends diverge outwardly at an angle to the handle. The normal position of the ends of the wire from the point of twisting 9 is shown in Figure 2 and it will be observed that the formation of the handle is such that the wires cross at the points I4 and I 5. However, when in the position shown in Figure 1 the ends extend substantially parallel from the twisted portion 9 and are held in position by means of a loop IE, corrugations II being formed in the handle for preventing movement of the loop IB toward the end of the handle.
When initially positioning the handle, the loop I6 will be held in the manner shown in Figure 2 0f the drawing and the ends I2 and I3 urged in like characters denote like or corresponding therethrough into the pockets at the folded ends until the ends of the handle assume the position shown in Figure l. After the handle has been moved into ilxed position with the body member 6, the ends of the handle will be substantain the ends I2 and I3 within the end pockets of the body member.
When it becomes necessary to replace the body member 6, said member will `be rmly held and pressure exerted outwardly on the handle 8 to eiiect disengagement of the ends I2 and I3 from the pockets. While disengaging the ends I2 and I3, the loop I6 will at the same time be urged to the position shown in Figure 2. Thus it will be seen that the handle 8 is readily and easily positioned vand removed from the body member when initially assembling the swatter or when it is necessary to replace a worn body member.
Also it will be understood, of course, by those skilled in the art that variations in the hereinabove described device involving the substitution of substantial equivalents for the devices described are intended to be comprehended within the spirit of the present invention and that the invention is capable of extended application and is not conned to the exact showing of the drawing nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modications may be made therein as do not affect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof Aas expressed in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
l. A ily swatter of the character described, comprising a substantially rectangular shaped body member formed of wire gauze material having folded corners constituting obliquely arranged pockets, a handle for said body formed of wire with two outwardly diverging portions terminating in two converging portions crossed at their free ends, and a Wire loop slidable on the inwardly converging portions for forcing the saidr portions outwardly within the obliquely arranged pockets in the body member.
2. `A ily swatter of the character described,`
comprising a substantially rectangular shaped body member formed of Wire gauze material having folded corners constituting obliquely arranged pockets, a handle for said body, said` HENLEY R. WIHTE,
