lNSECT-TRA P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,672, dated May 17, 1881.
Application filed March 8, 1881. (N0 model.)
To all whom t'tmay concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. KNAPP, of Osceola, Clarke county, Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Insect-Destroyer, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a device for attracting insects, which drop into a poisoned liquid in the device, and are thus destroyed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my improved insect-destroyer. Fig. 21s a horizontal sectional view of the same on the linew as, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line 3 3 Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a diagonal cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line 2 a, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The lantern A is provided with a bottom, B, having a central aperture, 0, of sufficient size to admit the lamp D, which has two lateral studs, E E. The bottom B is provided with two corresponding recesses, F F, openinginto the aperture 0 to admit the studs E when the lamp D is passed through the aperture. The lamp is then turned so that the studs E rest on the edge of the aperture U. The bottom of the lantern is considerably larger than the lamp, and has a vertical rim, Gr, around the outer edge. This rim G forms a trough, H, around the lamp, with the inclined or vertical plates J resting upon the bottom B and supporting the panes K K of the lantern. This trough is provided with an outlet-tube, L, closed by a screw-cap, M, and with a series of small overflow-openings,NN. Atthefourcornersformed by the plates J J tubes 0 0 pass through the bottom ot'the lantern, or these bent tubes may be arranged in some other suitable manner in the trough H. The lower ends of these tubes are closed by means of corks or plugs P, and the baitpreferably consisting of a sweetened liquidis poured into the top of the tubes 0 O. The top of the lantern is provided with a hook, Q, for hauging'it. The lantern gives a Very brilliant light and will attract insects from con siderable distances.
The lantern can be suspended from the top of a room or from a tree, or can be placed upon a suitable support. The lamp can be inserted from below very conveniently. As the cork or plug 1? can be drawn out of the bait-tubes O, the latter can be cleaned very easily. If too much water collects in the trough, it can flow off through the overflow-openin gs N N, and the liquid in the trough and the insects that have expired therein can be drawn ofi completely by unscrewing the cap M.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In an insect-destroyer, the combination, with thelantern A, having a trough, H, formed around its base, of the bait-tubes O and the plugs or stoppers P, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In an insect-destroyer, the combination, with the lantern A, of the enlarged bottom B, the rim G, and the glass supporting-plates J, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
S. B. KNAPP.
