An insect trap utilizes an electrically energized light for luring the insects to a trapping device and powers the light from a solar or artificial light powered electric source. The electric source comprises an array of photo-voltaic cells, a rechargeable battery which in the presence of light is caused to be charged and in the absence of light is caused to be discharged.

A flea trap uses an electrical receptacle mounted night-type lamp as a light source for attracting the fleas and means providing a sticky landing surface adjacent the source for trapping the fleas.

An insect trap utilizes a self-contained, gradually decaying, radiant light source which is continuously operative independent of any combustible fuel or electrical energy supply and means to position the light source near a trapping device for trapping insects attracted to the light source.

A flea trap comprises a flat, shallow rectangular pan adapted for resting on the floor, flypaper or other sticky substance confined in the pan for trapping the fleas, a rectangular light reflecting cover, wire formed leg members adapted to resiliently grasp selected edges of the pan and support the cover over the pan, and an electrically energized green light source suspended from the light reflecting underside of the cover so as to lure fleas to the pan by means of both reflected green light and directly radiated green light.

An insect trap, particularly suited to trapping fleas, comprises a flat, shallow rectangular pan adapted for resting on the floor, flypaper or other sticky substance confined in the pan for trapping the insects, a rectangular light reflecting cover, wire-formed leg members adapted to resiliently grasp selected edges of the pan in fixed positions and support the cover over the pan, and an electrically energized light source suspended from the light reflecting underside of the cover so as to lure insects to the pan by means of both reflected light and directly radiated light. The color of light seen by the insect may be modified by changing the color of the cover, the light source or the reflective surface.

An elongated carriage extends between the beds of first and second milling machines to operatively join the first and second milling machines to one another. The carriage is attached to the milling machines in a manner which allows longitudinal movement of the carriage with respect to the milling machines to allow the milling machines to simultaneously mill first and second workpieces respectively.

An improved creel useful for reeling and storing materials such as pile fabrics is formed from two spaced end assemblies connected by a tubular member. Each end assembly comprises a high-strength, relatively-flat, box-like structure which is folded from a prescored cardboard blank. Suitable hook strips are fixedly secured to the end assemblies to receive the convolutions of material. The box-like structure is also adapted to other applications utilizing strips without hooks.

The invention is an improved apparatus for practicing the martial arts, such as the various forms of Karate, known by various names and taught in several styles. The practice bag of this invention provides a means for sharpening reflexes and coordination without the need of a skilled human opponent. The practice bag consists of a covered cylindrical bag with four cylindrical-like apertures therethrough, said apertures being lined, said lining being suitably fastened to the bag at each point where the cylindrical-like apertures interface with cover of the bag. A center target piece is attached to the exterior of the cover of the bag and more-or-less centrally located between the apertures on one side of the bag. The bag is filled with a suitable material which surrounds the cylindrical-like apertures passing through the bag. Cable-like attachments to the top of bag support it from above. Rod-like poles with padded ends are extended through each of the four cylindrical-like apertures to simulate the arms and legs of an opponent. The simulated arms and legs can be manipulated for practice of the martial arts.

Each end assembly comprises a high-strength, relatively flat, box-like structure which is folded from a pre-scored cardboard blank. Suitable hook strips are mounted on the end assemblies to receive the convolutions of material. The folded-up box-like structure is adaptable for use as the end assembly for many types of boxes requiring a strong end.

An electron source is disclosed for generating a flow of electrons of substantially narrow energy distribution. Such a source may be incorporated into a cathode ray tube (CRT) where the beam of narrow energy electrons is modulated, as by a grid or other target element of the CRT; the current control characteristics of the CRT are dependent upon the energy distribution of the electron beam, and as the width of this distribution in the beam or flow of electrons is decreased, the sensitivity of the CRT is increased. In accordance with the teachings of this invention, the electron beam source includes a mirror element for critically absorbing incident electrons whose energy is above a predetermined value. Electrons whose energy is below the critical predetermined value are reflected from the mirror element to form an electron flow of a substantially uniform energy level. In an illustrative embodiment of this invention, the mirror element comprises a support layer upon which there is disposed a material, such as gold black, deposited in a smoke form and having a low secondary electron emission ratio. The critical predetermined value is related to the voltage difference between the cathode element for generating the electrons and the mirror element; this voltage difference is set to determine the energy level of those electrons reflected from the mirror element. Significantly, the electron source of this invention is capable of providing either a narrow or pencil beam of electrons, or a flood beam of electrons of substantially uniform energy.
