' P. L. 000K. ROAGH TRAP.
Patented Feb. 11, 1896.
NITED STATES FIGEo ATENT FRANCIS L. COOK, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO FRANCIS O. COOK, OF SAME PLACE.
ROACH-TRAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 554,616, dated February 11, 1896. Application filed February 2, 1895. Serial No. 537,081. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS L. COOK, a citizen of the United States of America, rcsiding at Springfield, in the county of I-Iampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Roach- Traps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in that class of roach-traps which comprise a paper or other box or case that is provided with a removable cover and one or more conical tubes supported at the side of and extending within the box.
The object of the invention is to improve roach-traps of this character to the end of rendering them more easily and cheaply produced, more desirable, durable and available in and for the purpose for which they are intended; and another object as contemplated by the invention is to produce an ordinary box to be used as a receptacle for any article or commodity with appliances whereby the box may be readily converted into a roachtrap.
To these ends the invention consists in certain particular constructions and combinations of parts, all substantially as will hereinafter fully appear and be set forth in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the roach-trap with the removable cover thereof displaced. Fig. 2 is a crosssection of the trap with the cover in place. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the box and appliances whereby the box may be converted into a roach-trap. Fig. 4: is aview illustrating modified appliances for converting the box into the roach-trap, Fig. 5 being a sectional and perspective view of the conical tube and split ring in their assemblage.
In the drawings, A represents the box having circular openings a through its sides suitably above the bottom and provided with the cover B, of ordinary form, except that its top preferably has the pane of glass 11 therein.
The conical tubes or funnels O are constructed of wood with shoulders cl so as to be entered within the apertures in the side of the box, the base of the shoulder having a steadying-rest against the side of the box adjacent the aperture, and at this place may be applied an adhesive, although such is not ordinarily necessary, for the conical tube may be crowded to its seat with sufficient firmness to effectually retain it in place.
In Fig. 3 a common paper box is shown with the circular apertures a through its sides above its bottom with closures therefor, the same here being indicated as strips of paper f pasted upon the side of the box. These strips of paper may be labels.
After the box has served the purpose of a receptacle for any commodity-as, for instance, confectionarythe conical tubes, which may be provided in or to accompany the box, will be forced to seats as imparted by their shoulders against the side of the box adjacent the circular hole therein. Again, as may be regarded preferable or more acceptable to the trade in some cases, the circular holes may have therein the split rings 9 g, whereby they are rendered contractible to exert a constriction about the periphery of the tube next to its shoulder as the tube is crowded to its seat Within the ring.
In the output of the box, as a box, having accompanying it the insertible shouldered conical tubes, the flanged plug f may be set against and to protrude within and beyond the split ring, and because this plug is transversely bored it may receive the retaining pin or peg f The capability for the utilization of the improved roach-trap is rendered apparent by the description and illustrations and a knowledge of the state of the art. Hence it is unnecessary to specify the manner of baiting, or the manner in which the roaches are attracted and caught, or the manner in which the trap may be discharged of the vermin, all of these matters being common to this class of traps, and which, it is understood, are not herein broadly claimed; but,
Having thus described my invention and explained the operation and adaptability of the peculiar structural features and appliances, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As a new article of manufacture, abox havcured therein by the split rings, substantially as described.
FRANCIS L. COOK.
