J ONATHAN C. BAKER, OF
BUTTE CITY, MONTANA. i
FLY-SCARE;
. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470537, dated March S, 1892.
Application filed September 26 1891. Serial No. 406,926. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: 4
Be it known that I, J ONATHAN C. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Butte City, Silver Bow county, State of Montana, 5 have invented an Improvement in Fly-Scares; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to that class of devices or apparatu's the object of which is to frighten o off fiies and other insects and gnats and prevent them from alightiug upon the tables, dishes, and food in a restaurant or other clining-hall, bar-counters, and show or display windows.
My invention consists of the construction, arrangement, and combination of devices, which I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
The object of my invention is to provide a general system for frightening fiies especially adapted for use in restaurants and dininghalls, said system being arranged and its operation effected in a simple but effective manner.
Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my invention, Figure l is an elevation of my fly-scare. Fig. 2 is a plan of same.
'A represents the main string or support of 0 the system. It is so Suspended that it can be moved or vibrated. It may be of any suitable material, elastic 'or otherwise. For simplicity I preferto have it not especially elas- A tic in itself, as in that case any kind of string, cord, wire, rope, or belt will answer the purpose. To obtain the necessary movement or elasticity, however, I attach one end of the string to an elastic band B, securely fastened to the wall. A spring may be used instead of 40 the elastic band; but the band is preferable on the score of economy.` The other end of string A is secured to any suitable notor which will cause its movement. I have here shown awater-motor C, the shaft of which has 5 a crank c, to which the string is attached. The string A extends throughout the diningapartment and may be supported in its length at suitable intervals by hangers D, carrying anti-friction rollers d. From stringA depend the agitators E. These may be in any number, of any material, size, and shape suitable for the purpose of frightening the fiies by their movement. They may be frames 'of wire of varied and pretty shapes covered with light musliu, ganze, fancy paper, or other material fashioned in ornamental or unique forms. They hang over the t'ables F and at such a height as not to interfere with the guests. N ow by referring to Fig. 2 the whole system will be seen. Connected directly or indrectly with the nain string A are other strings A' in any number, and extendin g both parallel with and at right angles to the main string or in any direction whatever, to conform to and accommodate the positions of the several tables. Each of these Supplementary strings is of the same nature as the main string, sinilarly mounted and attached to elastic end bands B', and having depending agitators E'. The motor need not necessarily be directly connected With the system, but may operate ii' from any convenient position through the intervention of bell-cranks, wires, &0.
In operation the notion given is primarily a horizontal reciprocating one, which, however, is resolved by the nature of the parts and connections into other motions, such as a vertical shaking or dancing movement imparted to the agitators. This motion of the agitators effectually frightens the fiies and -abates the nuisance of their presence.
Having thus described my nvetion, what I claim as new, and desire t secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A fiy-scare consisting of a string arranged horizontally, a rubber band connected with one end of the string and secured to the wall, a motor connected with the other end of the string, whereby it is pulled back and forth, and agitators Suspended from said string, substantially as herein described.
2. A fly-scare consisting of a plural num ber of sets of strings connected into a single system, said strings crossing each other at an o angle and being connected With each other at their points of intersection, rubber bands attached to the ends of the strings, whereby they are supported from the Walls of the apartment, a motor secured to the end of one oo string of the system, whereby the whole system is moved back and forth, and agitators Suspended from said strings, substantial] y as herein described. a
In Witness whercof I have hereunto set my 105 hand.
J ONATHAN C. BAKER.
