UNITED .STATES PATENT OEEIcE.
CHARLES OLIVER TAYLOR, OF URBANA, OHIO.
FLY-EXIT.
spncrrrcafrron forming part of Letters Patent No. 5565445, dated March iv, 189e. Application filed September 12, 1894| Serial No.V 522,843. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES OLIVER TAYil LOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Urbana, in the county of Champaign and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new, useful, and valuable Improvement in Fly- Exits, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention has relation to an improved ment in fly-exits adapted to be applied to screen doors and windows; and it consists of the novel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a side view of my invention secured to a door or window. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of a door or window with my invention attached thereto. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of the device detached from the door. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the device rolled up ready for shipment.
A strip is cut from the screen of the door or window just below the upper side of the frame, and the opening 1 made thereby extends all the way across the top of the door from side to side of the frame.
The attachment consists of a screen-strip 3, which has secured to it at regular intervals the rigid perpendicular pieces 2 2.
The strip 3 is tacked or otherwise secured to the top and side of the frame, as shown in Figs. l and 2, and screen 4 is also secured to the pieces 2 2. The strips 5 5 connect the pieces 2 2 with the upper side of the frame, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
rlhe attachment is designed in particular to be applied to screen windows and doors already constructed and in use, and when the attachment is packed and shipped it can be rolled up, as shown in Fig. 4.
The advantages gained by my attachment are as follows: The opening 1 can extend all the way across the top of the door or window, and the pieces 2 2 will support the upper edges of the screen 4, and said pieces will always keep the screens 4 and 3 apart and in the proper place, whereas without said pieces the screens would warp and possibly come so close to each other as to render the exit valueless. The strips 5 5 support the pieces 2 2 from the top of the frame. Hence the attachment will always remain in its proper place regardless of slamming or banging of the door or window.
The flies light on the screen 4 and crawl up and out, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2.
I am aware that screen doors and windows have heretofore been used employing the same general principles as my invention herewith described; but in the devices heretofore used no such provision has been made to keep the screens from warping out of shape and at the same time have an exit for the fliesras wide as the screenwork of the door.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As an article of manufacture anl attachment for screen doors or Windows, consisting of a screen-strip having perpendicular rigid wooden pieces attached thereto,l metallic strips secured to said wooden pieces and eX- tending beyond the upper ends thereof, said screen-strip adapted to be secured on the op' posite side of the frame of the door or window from the screen of the latter, the wooden pieces adapted to be secured to the screen of the door or Window, thereby connecting the two screens and retaining them substantially parallel to each other, the metallic strips adaptedto be secured to the upper side of the frame of the door or window and thereby retain the wooden pieces in position, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES OLIVER TAYLOR.
