STICKY FLY-PAPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No, 552,792, dated January 7, 1896. Application filed October 31, 1894. $er ial No. 527,547- (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OTTO G. STOLZ, a resifull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improved flycatcher, and more particularly to such as is known in the art as fly-paper, the object of the invention being to so construct the device that it shall present an extended surface exposure and at the same time occupy a small, surface area on the object which supports it..
A further object is to so construct a flycatcher that it can be suspended when in use.
A furtherobject is to construct fly-paper in such manner that the adhesive material will be prevented from escaping and soiling articles of furniture 011 which the device may be placed.
A further object is to provide simple and efficient means for packing or arranging the fly-paper in packages, so as to prevent the escape of the adhes ve material (should the same become liquefied by heat or otherwise) and to, exclude the air from said adhesive material when the paper is arranged or packed for transportation. I
A further object is to provide a conical fiycatcher having adhesive material on the exterior surface thereof, with means whereby the cones can be stacked one upon another when not in use without danger of one cone sticking or adhering to another.
With these objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of c0nstruction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of a form or blank to be used in the manufacture of my improved catcher. Fig.
2 shows a circular sheet of fly-paper from which two catchers can be made and illustrates one arrangement of the sheet in condition for packing the same. Fig. 3 shows a diiferent arrangement of the sheet. Fig. 4. is a view of the sheet shown in Fig. 3 folded.
Fig. 5 is a view showing a sheet partly sevcred. Fig. 6 is a view of a nearly completed cone. Fig. 7 is a view of the completed conical catcher. Fig. 8 is a vertical sectional view of the catcher, showing the interior thereof, the dotted lines indicating that the catchers may be nested. Figs. 9 and 10 are detail views.
A Irepresents a sheet of paper preferably cut circular in form and coated over the major portion of one face with adhesive material of any suitable composition to attract and retain flies, said adhesive material beingrepresented at a and extends to within a short distance of the periphery of the sheet, leaving a blank space I) contiguous with the periphery of the sheet. The peripheral edge of the sheet is folded over toward the center of the sheet, as at c, and produces in the finished article a trough d at the base of the cone to catch such of the adhesive material as may become semi-liquefied by heat or other cause and run down the face of the cone. The bent-over edge or flange 0 also serves to stifien and strengthen the base of the cone.
In Fig. 2 a cord 8, preferably circular in cross-section, of cotton, hemp, flax or any other suitable material, is shown in the blank space 12 between the adhesive material and the flange c, and in order to cause said cord to adhere to the sheet it is saturated with liquid glue of. such composition not soluble with the adhesive material on the sheet. The sheet thus prepared is placed face to face with another sheet similarly prepared, (with the exception of the 00rd,) the cord 6 becomin g secured to the second sheet, and the sheets will be then arranged in the form of a package ready for transportation. It will be seen that the cord e incloses the adhesive material on the faces of the two sheets and prevents the escape of said adhesive material and also excludes air therefrom.
From each sheet two cones or catchers will be made in a manncrpresently explained, and thus a package containing two sheets,as above described, will be sufficient from which to make four cones or catchers. W'Vhile the sheets may be arranged in this manner for transportation and be satisfactory in many respects, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 is probably preferable. In this form the string Each sheet will be scored on the dotted line, Fig. 3, or, in other words, each sheet will be scored transversely, so as to render the severing of the sheet into two parts easy and accurate. The cord 6 used will be light, and as it is cylindrical in cross-section it will not present a large surface to the adjacent sheets, to which it is secured, and hence can be readily removed without injury to the sheets. In severing a sheet into two parts the edges of the sheets may be grasped and the parts of the sheets pulled asunder, as represented in Fig. 5, and afterward the cord may be removed, or, if desired, the cord may be removed before the parts of the sheets are separated. When the circular sheet is thus divided two semicircular sheets will be produced, with each of which my improved conical catcher can be made. At each end of the straight edge f of the semicircular sheet a small wire g g is secured, said wires being held in place by means of small paper seals secured to the inner or under face of the sheet. A wire hook or loop 9 is secured to the center of said straight edge f in the same manner as the wires g, and between the hook or loop g and the wires g 9 wires 9 are secured. The semicircular sheet will now be bent so as to cause the respective halves f f of the straight edge to come together, thus producing the cone, said edges f being secured together by the wires g 9 and the hook or loop g being permitted to project from the apex of the cone to provide means whereby the cone may be hung or suspended if desired. To the inner face of the cone a series of wire staples hare secured by means of paper seals h, and said staples will be bent at right angles to the inner face of the cone, so that the cones can be stacked when temporarily out of use without danger of adhering to each other.
My improvement-s are very simple in construction, present a large active or working surface, can be readily made in packages for transportation, and are effectual, in all respects, in the performance of their functions.
Slight changes might be made in the details of construction of my invention without departing from the spirit thereof or limiting its scope, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details of construction herein set forth; but,
Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is Y 1. As a new article of manufacture, a sheet of fly paper bent in the form of a cone, and devices such as wires for securing the meeting edges of the device together, substantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a flycatcher made in the form of a hollow cone with adhesive material on its outer surface and projections on its inner face, whereby to permit several cones to be stacked without adhering to each other, substantially as set forth.
3. A form or blank from which to make fly catchers consisting of a circular sheet covered with adhesive material and adapted to be divided in the center, and fastening devices for securing the meeting edges of the blanks together, substantially as set forth.
4. A form or blank from which to make two conical fly catchers, consisting of a circular sheet having adhesive material thereon and having its peripheral edge upturned to produce troughs at the bases of the finished articles, said circular sheet being adapted to be divided to produce semi-circular sheets and fastening devices secured to said sheets whereby to secure the meeting edges of the cones together, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
OTTO G. STOLZ.
