ASpecification of Letters Patent. i
' To all whom it may concern.: i
'of which the following is a specification.
Aca light in a vmetal bindings 4 and vThis invention relates'to screen windows or doors, and one of the principal objects of the same is to provide means whereby flies from 'the inside of the house may escape through an orifice or opening between two members of the screen.
It is a well known fact t-hat a few lflies will always gain entrance to a house even if provided with screen windows and doors. These flies will seek the light and may be found upon the window and door screens. Under ordinary conditions lit has been necessary to raise the screen to drive these tiies out, and during this operation oftentimes other liics gain an entrance to the house.
It is one of the principal objects of, our invention to provide means -whereby the tiies may gain an exit and to 'provide means whereby fiies may trap and destroyed.
The objects and advantages of our-invention may be attained by means of the construction illust rated in thc accompanying drawing, in whicln- Figurc'l is 'a lfiei'spcctive view of a window screen made. in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the same.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral l. designates a frame for the screen. and it will be understood that this frame may either be a door frame or a window frame. lower screen member 2 is inclined from the bottom of the screen upwardly and outwardly from the inside, and the frame member of the screen may be lnade of such shape as to provide for this inclination. At the top of the wire cloth screen 3 a metal binding #i is'secured, said metal binding being seated at-its ends in recesses in the frame. The upper screen member 3 is' disposed vertically in the frame, and at the lower end a loop 5 is formed therein, and the terminal upper edge of said wire cloth is provided with a metal binding which is seated at its ends in a suitable re ccss in the frame. Thet of the two screen members are spaced apart a sufficient dis- The tance to permit a fly to between them. The upper screen'm'ember 3 terminates at a pointbeiow the upper cross bar of the frame and is provided wlth a metal binding 7. A fly trap 8, preferably made of wire cloth and havingend caps 9, is supported in the space between the upper edge of the 'member 3?- and the top cross bar ofthe frame, said trap having its terminal ends disposed upon opposite sides of the binding-7 and spaced -therefrom a suiiicient distance to permit a fly 'to enter the trap 8. The trap 8 is sup- .ported b v means of end pintles 10 on the caps 9. said pintles fitting in recesses 11 in the screen frame, thus permitting the trap to be removed whenever desired to destroy the -ies therein. Handles l2 are provided for t removing the trap. Another similar trap' 8 may be provided for covering the outlet between the lower and the upper membersof the screen, said trap heilig of similar forma tion to the trap 8.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that a scren window or door provided with our improvementswill permit flies. to gain an exit from the house and to bc caught in traps through which they cannot regain an entrance to the house.
Our invention is of simple construction, may be readily applied to any door or window screen and very reliable and efiicient for its purpose.
le claim The herein Idescribed screen comprising a frame having upper and lower cross bars connected b v side bars` a lower reticnlated member and an upper reticulat-ed 'member spaced apart at their meeting edges, said upper member terminating below the upper cross bar of the screen frame, a fiy trap sup? ported in the space between the upper edge of thc last named 'member and said upper cross bar, the lower ends of the t-ap being spaced from the upper edge of said member to permit Hies to pass into said trap, and a removable trap adapted to be supported above the spaced lated members, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we aHix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
