STlCKY-FLY-PAPER HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. *7, 1906.

Application filed April 4, 1906. Serial No. 309,858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GODFRIED LAUBE and GRovER C. G. 'LAUBE, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Santa Monica, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and `useful Improvements in Sticky- Fly-Paper Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in sticky-fly-paper holders, and has for its object the provision of novel means whereby the adhesive flypaper is arranged in a novel manner within a novel form of casing that will be practically invisible and will present many advantages, as will be hereinafter more fully eX- plained, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more particularly described.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved fly-paper holder, showing the same secured together in an operative position; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the blank for the reception of the paper before the blank is formed into a cylinder.

In the drawings the blank 1 carries a flap 2, which has formed therein an opening 3. This flap also has formed therein a tongue 4, which is integral with the blank 1 and is preferably stamped out of the material. Upon the blank 1 are also cut-away portions forming retaining-fingers 5 for the purpose of securing the sticky fly-paper 6 in proper position. In the opposite end of the blank from the iiap 2 are formed slots 6 and 7, which form a strap 8. The sides of the blank 1 carry outwardly extending scalloped wings 9.

The reference-numeral 10 indicates a hook or other suitable fastening means which may be inserted through the opening 3.

The operation of our improved fly-paper holder is as follows: The blank being first stamped as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the fly-paper is inserted under the retaining-fingers 5, and the entire blank is then brought into a cylindrical form by inserting the flap 2 through the slot 7, under the strap 8, and thence through the slot 6, when it is turned upwardly at right angles, the tongue 4 engaging the inner wall of the cylinder adjacent to the slot 6 therebyforming an interlocking engagement therewith. The outwardlyextending scalloped wings 9 are then also bent at right angles to the body portion of the cylinder, these wings forming feet or supports for the cylinder, which will slightly elevate the body portion from the table or other convenient place in which it may be permitted to rest, or the device may be Suspended by the hook 10, secured in the open- Ving 3, the hook being attached to a chandelier, window-shade, or attached to any projecting edge or cornice.

It will be understood that the fly-paper at the ends is slightly turned upwardly and inwardly to prevent the adhesive substance from leaking out. the holder may be placed on an inclined surface and may be retained thereon by reason of the novel construction of the feet or supports, which will prevent the cylindrical body portion from rolling from the inclined surface.

The body portion or blank Jforming the holder may be made of any suitable material, such as paper, leatherette, celluloid, aluminium, tin, brass, or any other Suitable sheet material.-

Many other advantages obtained by the use of our improved ily-paper holder will be readily apparent from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A il -paper holder, comprising asheet of material aving a flap at one end, and slotted near its Opposite end to provide a retainingstrap for said flap, and supports formed integral with said sheet.

It will also be Seen that IOO 2. A ily-paper holder, comprising a sheet of material formed With a ilap at one end, and slotted adjacent to its opposite en d to provide a retaining-strap for said flap, and Wings formed integral With said sheet and bent at right angles thereto.

3. A ily-paper holder, comprising a sheet of material having a i'lap at one end7 and slotted at its opposite end to provide a retaining-strip for said flap, and retaining devices for ily-paper, carried by said sheet.

4. A ily-paper holder` comprising a sheet of material having a flap at one end, a retainingstrap for said ap near the opposite end of the sheet, and devices struck up from the sheet 15.
