MlLLER-EXTERMINATOR.
SPECIFIGATIdN forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,942, dated June 11, 1889.
Application filed March 26, 1889- Serial No. 304,824. (No model.)
7"T0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN B. Woops, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mineola, in the county of Wood, State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Miller-Exterminators, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention has relation toa means of exterminating all kinds of moths, millers, flies, and bugs that are attracted by light, and particularly the cotton-fly, which breeds the destructive cotton-worm.
To this end I have constructed my device as described in the following specification, and with such novel features as will be particularly pointed out in the claim at the end thereof.
The drawing represents a vertical section of my device, showing the standard and wick in side elevation.
A is a shallow pan, having an inward sleeve extending upward, as shown at A.
B is a lamp-body, having the outward upwardly-extending sleeve B designed for introduction into the sleeve A.
B is the entrance for the oil for said lamp B, and B is aside socket for the insertion of a standard D.
O is the wick of the lamp, held in the sleeve B and projecting slightly above the same.
In using my device the. pan A is filled with a mixture of water and sirup, or with any other strongly-adhesive substance, or with kerosene or water and kerosene, up to the level of the wick or nearly thereto. The lamp havingbeen filled with oil, the wick is now lighted, and the Whole. device fixed upon the top of a pole or other standard stationed in the cotton or tobacco field or in any other place where it may be desired to kill the moths. The moths, being attracted by the light, come from all directions to strike at it, and the level of the sirup being but little below that of the light they are caught therein and retained by the adhesion of the same; or in the case of the use of oil they are stifled by its fumes.
What I claim is A lamp having an external upwardly-projecting sleeve and a side ,socket and a wick projecting through said sleeve, in combination with a pole or standard fitting into said side socket and a pan having an inward sleeve fitting over said sleeve on the lamp, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
