Abstract
Abstract An insecticidal device is described which is made up of an insecticidal composition coated on to a substrate which is supported in a cage that may be either suspended or mounted on a horizontal surface. The insecticidal composition is made up of an insect attractant and a non-volatile, contact poison or stomach poison. The one-piece, hinged device has interconnected planar members with large openings, and edge stiffener strips defining side openings. Means are mounted on each stiffener strip to join the interconnected members in abutting relation to support the substrate therebetween.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
30 words
Having a substantially rectilinear configuration having a long dimension, a short dimension and a relatively thin depth compared to said long dimension; B. One-piece means to support said substrate comprising:
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
First and second rectangular planar members each further comprising: A. At least one relatively large opening defined in said planar member; B. A stiffener strip formed along each long edge of said members and defining an angle with said planar member and rigidifying said planar member, the width of each of said stiffener strips being less than half the width of said base, whereby openings are formed along the edges of said support means; and C. An end wall defined at the short side of said member opposite said base, the width of said end wall being half the width of said base;
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
94 words
A support device as defined in claim 1 wherein said joining means comprises: A. At least two wall members defined on each of said long edges, the height of each of said wall members being half the width of said base; B. A stud defined on each of said wall members of said first planar member, and C. A cavity defined in each of said wall members of said second planar member, said studs and cavities being adapted to frictionally engage each other and hold said first and second planar members in tight engagement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
First and second hinge members respectively connecting said first and second planar members to said base; and
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A support device as defined in claim 1 further comprising: A. A tab defined on at least one of said end walls extending away from said base, and B. An orifice defined in said tab, defining a member adapted to suspend said device from an overhead support.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
A device as defined in claim 1 further comprising: A. An orifice defined in said base; B. A thin elongated stand member shorter than the length of said base; C. A shaft defined at the center of said stand member and adapted to reciprocably engage said base orifice in a friction fit, whereby said stand member may be aligned with said base in one configuration or rotated to right angles to said base in another configuration thereby forming a stand at the bottom of said support device adapted to support said device on a horizontal surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
Means mounted on each stiffener strip to join said first and second planar members in abutting relation after rotation toward each other about said hinges whereby said substrate is supportably enclosed between said first and second planar members.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
64 words
A support device as defined in claim 4 further comprising: A. First and second ridges at opposite ends of said base equal in height to the thickness of said elongated stanD member to support the ends of said base and function to level said support device when said stand member is rotated at an angle to said base and placed on a horizontal surface.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
A support device as defined in claim 1 in which said substrate is comprised of closed cell expanded polyurethane.
