SCARECROW

Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, of Portland, Oregon

Application filed July 8, 1915

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, citizens of the United States, and residents of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scarecrows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to scare crows which are adapted to be used in a garden patch, field, or orchard for the purpose of scaring away intruding birds or animals which might eat or otherwise injure the crop.

Prior to our invention, the scare crows ordinarily used were crude affairs, being generally home-made and not wholly satisfactory.

One of the  main objects of our invention is to provide a more efficient form of scarecrow consisting of a figure formed to resemble a living animal in the posture of approaching its prey.  The means of mounting this scare crow are so arranged that the action of the wind will give various motions to the figure which will simulate the lifelike movements of the animal.  The figure is also provided with an audible alarm which will sound in accordance with the movements of the figure so  as to attract the attention of the intruding birds or animals.
