(under subclass 107) Insect traps which capture and destroy insects, especially nocturnal insects attracted by an artificial light forming a part of the trap.
(1) Note. The insects may fly directly into the flame of the light or may dash themselves against an illuminated obstacle and fall into a receptacle, from which there is no escape, or may fly toward the light and being dazzled, fall into such a receiver. Usually a liquid or sticky substance is employed in connection with the light to trap the insects. Unless an artificial light or some light not daylight be depended upon to lure the insects traps are not classified as "illuminated". Insect traps which use indifferently bait or artificial light to lure their victims and which entrap insects whether or not such a light is used are not classified here. Traps using phosphorescent of self-luminous substance are found in this subclass.
