HOLDER FOR FLY-PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming· part of Letters Patent No. 667,293, dated February 5, 1901.

Application filed September 11,1900. Serial No. 29,665. (No model.)

To coll whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Frank W. Cherry and Henry F. Radke, citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of San 5 Francisco, in the State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Fly-Paper; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

io The objects of our invention are to provide a holder to which the adhesive or sticky flypaper may be removably secured, the holder being so constructed that it may be folded to form an open top and bottom fly-trap, to pro15 vide a holder which may be readily disconnected in order that an old or used sheet of adhesive paper may be removed and a fresh one inserted, and to provide a holder which will present a neat and attractive appearance 20 when united to form a trap.

In order to comprehend the invention, reference should be had to the accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein—

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder 25 folded and united to form the body or shell of a fly-trap. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, showing a sheet of adhesive paper secured to the inner wall thereof; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the holder partially rolled, 30 the sheet of adhesive paper being removed therefrom.

The letter A is used to indicate the holder, which consists of a blank constructed of any suitable material. Preferably the holder35 blank is cut so as to form when folded or rolled a cylindrical open top and bottom casing or shell. One side edge of the holderblank has secured thereto the hooks A, which pass through openings a' in the opposite side 40 edge of the holder-blank. By means of these side edge hooks the edges of the holder-blank are united or held locked. When the holder is thus united, an outer casing or shell for the trap is formed. It will be understood that 45 the holder-blank may be so cut as to form any suitably-shaped shell or casing. Likewise any suitable form of locking means may be employed for uniting the side, edges of the holder.

To the inner face or wall of the holder is 50 secured a sheet or layer B of adhesive paper, which sheet or layer is removably attached to the holder by means of the pins b, secured to and projecting from the said holder. The layer or sheet B is attached to the holder prior 55 to the same being folded or rolled to form the shell or casing, Fig. 2 of the drawings. When the shell or casing is formed, the layer or sheet B serves as an inner adhesive wall therefor.

The upper edge of the holder is crimped, 60 so as to provide an inwardly-inclined collar or flange B' to the holder when the casing or shell is formed.
