Date: Mar. 9, 2015 (54) AUTOMATIC ROACH TRAP HAVING DISPOSABLE CONTAINER THEREIN (71) Applicants: John E. Garretson, Paradise Valley, AZ (US) (72) Inventors: John E. Garretson, Paradise Valley, AZ (US) (21) Appl. No.: 14/XXX,XXX (22) Filed: December 15, 2014 Related Application Priority Data (60) Continuation of application No. 14/XXX,XXX, filed October 12, 2013, now abandoned, which is a divisional of 13/XXX,XXX, filed May 12, 2012, now abandoned. Publication Classification (52) U.S. Cl. CPC.. A01M 23/12 ( ) USPC 43/61; 43/139 (57) ABSTRACT An automatic roach trap having a receiving container removably located in the trap enclosure. The trap utilizes a beam to detect roaches on a platform therein and actuates a mechanism to open an internal closure and coerce the roach into the underlying container. Access to the container is restricted during operation to prevent the escape of trapped roaches. The container is automatically closed upon withdrawal and designed to prevent inadvertent reopening during disposal.

No.: 14/XXX,XXX (22) Filed: August 14, 2013 Foreign Application Priority Data (30) August 14, 2012 (UK) Publication Classification (52) U.S. Cl. CPC.. A01M 23/12 ( ) USPC 43/61; 43/139 (57) ABSTRACT A portable electrical mouse trap that has a housing in the shape of a cat to which a handle is attached. An interior cavity of the mouse trap contains a primary motion sensor near its entrance, a retractable primary gate, a reservoir of a fragrance that smells like fresh cheese, a secondary motion sensor near an entrance to the collection chamber, a retractable secondary gate and a vacuum source. The primary motion sensor and secondary motion sensor detect the presence of a mouse inside the interior cavity. The primary gate automatically opens when activated by the primary motion sensor and the secondary gate automatically opens when activated by the secondary motion sensor. A vacuum tube connects the vacuum source and collection chamber. The vacuum source sucks the mouse fully into the collection chamber and thereby suffocates it. A speaker informs a user when the collection chamber is full.

Date: Jan. 28, 2014 (54) HUMANE TRAPPING DEVICE (71) Applicants: Walter Adams, Export, PA (US) (72) Inventors: Walter Adams, Export, PA (US) (21) Appl. No.: 13/XXX,XXX (22) Filed: June 14, 2013 Related U.S. Application Data (60) Provisional application No. 61/XXX,XX2 filed June 14, 2012 Publication Classification (52) U.S. Cl. CPC.. A01M 23/12 ( ) USPC 43/61; 43/139 (57) ABSTRACT A trapping device includes upper lure and lower detention compartments, and a trapping mechanism. The trapping mechanism includes infrared sensors provided in the lure compartment, first and second trapdoors, and a control circuit board for receiving signals from the infrared sensors to pivotally turn the first and the second trapdoor. When an animal/insect enters the lure compartment and passes through the infrared sensors, the first trapdoor is pivotally turned from a horizontal to a vertical position to confine the animal/insect in a rear room of the lure compartment, and the second trapdoor from a horizontal to a vertical position to open a floor opening communicating the lure and the detention compartment to trap the animal/insect in the detention compartment. The second trapdoor restores to the horizontal position to close the floor opening when a preset time passed, and the first trapdoor is returned to the horizontal position 20 seconds later.

The upper section defines an entrance opening having a cover flap which can sealingly close the entrance opening. A drop floor which is activated by an electromechanical system operates to drop a vermin into the lower section upon actuation of a sensor flap by the vermin. Vermin access elements extend upwardly along the lower section and the upper section to the entrance body. Publication Classification
