  • Dual purpose flyswatter
    Patent number: 4674227
    Abstract: A dual purpose flyswatter includes a rigid handle attached to a swatting pad having a tapered, semi-rigid peripheral web support portion and a tapered, perforated web therein. The tapered, semi-rigid peripheral portion is sufficiently rigid to prevent appreciable flexing of the swatting pad when the flyswatter is rapidly deployed to strike a flying insect, yet is sufficiently flexible to bend and conform to a surface on which an insect being swatted rests.
