IMPROVEMENT 'IN DECoY-DUCKS.
The Schedule referred toi'n these Letters Patent and making part o! the same.
eration of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this speciication, in which- Figure l is a View of my improved decoy-duck, with a portion broken, in order to show the interior.
The decoy-ducks used at the present time for decoying wild ducks within gun-shot are made' of wood or tin, and are objectionable, the wooden ducks being too expensive, and the tin ones (intended as a cheap substitute) will come in contact with each other in float ing, and thus occasion a ringing noise, which alarms and prevents the wild game from approaching.
My invention 'is intended to overcome this; and consist-s in constructing the decoy-duck of India rubber.
lo enable others skilled in the art to make and use iny invention, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I construct the decoy-duck I), fac simile in form to the wild duck, entirely of Iii'dia rubber, and hollowed in the interior.
In moulding the decoy-duck the rubber is made as thin as possible, two lugs, L and L', being formed at the same time on the under, side of the body, each of which has a small opening made through it.
Attached to the lug,T L, by means of a line of suitable length, is an anchor, used for the purpose of keeping the decoy in position.
A ballast is attached to the lug L', in order to keep the decoy-duck in a position as near natural as the wild fowl. p
Secured to the under side, and at the back part of the decoy, is an air-valve, A, the-said valve communicating with the interior of the body of the decoy by means of an opening made through the India rubber.
lVhen it is desired to use the decoy-duck D, itisindated through the air-valve A until lit assumes the proper form, the valve is then closed, and it (the decoy-duok) is then anchored in the wat-er.
lVhen not in use the decoy can be folded up, so as to occupy very little space. In this case the air-valve A is left open, so that the air can pass out.
Having thus described my invention, its construction, and operation,
' lVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
A decoy-duck for sporting-purposes, composed of India rubber, and provided with lugs L and L and airvalve A, substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. JACOB FOSTER;
Witnesses:
Guantes.` H. EVANS, ISAAC It. OAKFORD.
