FLY-NET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,438, dated August 29, 1882.

Application filed July 20, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID F. SIAGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chambersburg, in the county of Franklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fly-Nets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a top plan view of my invention Fig. 2, a bottom plan view; Fig. 3, a. cross-section, and Fig. 4 a detail sectional view of the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in horse fly-nets; and it consists in placing a cord in a groove or channel cut in the under side of the ribs to form a key for the lashes, which are looped around the same before passing through holes or slits in the said ribs, the object thereof being to form a neat and strong fly-net in which the lashes cannot become readily disengaged from the ribs, as is frequently the case, where the said lashes are simply connected to the ribs by being passed through two holes or slits cut therein parallel to one another, from the space between the holes or slits breaking out from the leather becominghard,and therebygiving to the net an unsightlyappearance, as well as rendering it useless-in a comparatively short time, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, A repre sents the ribs of a fly-net, having grooves or channels B out upon their under sides, in which is laid a cord, 0, over which are looped the lashes D before being passed through holes or slits E in the ribs, both ends of each lash being passed through the same hole.

By constructing a fly-net as above described a neat and strong net is obtained, and as both ends of the lashes are passed through the same hole or slit there is no danger of the rib becoming broken. The cords upon which the lashes are looped give to the ribs an additional strength, and by being laid in a groove or channelavoid aclumsy appearance being given to the fiy-net.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a fly-net, the ribs A, having formed upon their under sides grooves or channels B, in combination with the cords G, resting therein, and lashes D, each of which is passed through a single hole or slit in the ribs and looped around the cord, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
