The end wall is hinged so that bait can be placed on the bait shelf and replaced after being taken by the rodent, and the roof is also hinged to allow for the removal of the trapped and killed rodent so that the trap can be reset.
The trap with the dead rodent can also be slid out of the enclosure by opening the rear wall. A pair of hold-down clips are mounted to the floor of the enclosure for holding the trap in place and preventing the trap from flipping up when triggered and possibly resulting in the rodent escape trapping. It is an objective of the present invention to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that is safe, reliable and lethal.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that avoids the problem and frustration of stolen bait and failed trap triggers. It is still another objective of the present invention to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that holds the trap in place within the enclosure and secures the trap from flipping upward when tripped thereby allowing the rodent to escape from being trapped.
It is still yet another objective of the present invention to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that forces the rodent to directly face the trap at the trap's most lethal orientation because of the long, narrow dimensions of the enclosure.
It is still yet a further objective of the present invention to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that avoids exposing the trap or rodent to curious pets and children, and is thus safer to use and protects pets or children from injury. A further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that is preferably manufactured from plastic so that the enclosure is lightweight, inexpensive and. A still further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that includes only a single entrance and a dark, narrow passageway that draws the rodent in and forces the rodent to step over the trap to reach the bait thereby setting off the trap at the trap's most lethal orientation and trapping the rodent before the rodent reaches the bait.
A still yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that removes any angles and options that allow the rodent to steal the bait or avoid triggering the trap.
Still a further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that can be over-baited for attracting more rodents. Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents that is re-usable in so far as after one rodent is trapped and killed within the enclosure, that rodent can be removed so that fresh bait and a new trap can be placed within the enclosure. Yet still another objective of the present invention is to provide a snap trap enclosure for trapping and killing rodents which allows for the placement and replacement of bait within the enclosure without disturbing or setting off the trap.
These and other objects, features and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a perusal of the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing figures. Illustrated in FIGS. The device 10 is characterized by a rectangular, box-like enclosure 14 of a generally long, narrow configuration that makes it unavoidable for the rodent 12 to set off a snap trap 16 that is placed therein once the rodent 12 enters the enclosure 14 face first and moves toward the bait The snap trap 16 includes a base 20 and a coil spring 22 mounted to the base 20 by brackets A trap or trigger tray 26 is joined to the coil spring 22 and extending from the distal ends of the spring 22 is a unshaped trap bar 28 that is held in position by a trap arm 30 that is set against a catch 32 on the trap tray The weight of the rodent 12 on the trap tray 26 causes the trap tray 26 to pivot thereby releasing the trap arm 30 , and the release of the trap arm 30 immediately causes the trap bar 28 to forcibly pivot towards the trap tray 26 thereby trapping the rodent 12 between the trap bar 28 and the trap tray 26 and killing the rodent The box-like enclosure 14 , as illustrated in FIGS.
The entrance end 38 is further defined by an entrance opening 44 sized so that the rodent 12 must enter and pass through the entrance opening 44 face first.
The rear end 40 is further defined by a rear or end wall 46 , and the floor 34 , the roof 42 , the sidewalls 36 , the entrance end 38 and the rear wall 46 define an interior rodent confinement chamber 48 for placement therein of the snap trap The long, narrow configuration of the confinement chamber 48 simulates a dark, hole-like structure and appearance for drawing the rodent 12 therein. In order to provide for easy access to the confinement chamber 48 , for placing and replacing the bait 18 and for resetting and replacing the trap 16 , and for the removal of the dead rodent 12 , the roof 42 and the rear wall 46 are hingably or pivotally mounted to one sidewall Both the rear wall 46 and the roof 42 can be locked to the opposite sidewall 36 to deny access to the confinement chamber 48 for preventing individuals, primarily children, and house pets, such as cats and small dogs, from reaching into the enclosure 14 setting off the trap 16 and risking injury and possibly death.
Thus, as shown in FIGS. The opposite sidewall 36 includes a pair of spaced-apart receiving snaps 54 with one receiving snap 54 located adjacent the free swinging side of the rear wall 46 and the other receiving snap 54 located on the upper central portion of the sidewall The enclosure 14 can be locked shut by engaging the roof snap lock 50 and the snap lock 52 to the corresponding receiving snaps 54 , thereby closing the confinement chamber 48 to external access; and the enclosure 14 can be easily and quickly unlocked for gaining access to the confinement chamber 48 by disengaging the roof snap lock 50 and the snap lock 52 from the corresponding receiving snaps Attached to the rear wall 46 and projecting into the confinement chamber 48 , as shown in FIGS.
The bait shelf 56 can be over-baited to attract more rodents 12 to the enclosure 14 , especially if there are numerous rodents 12 in the area that require some period of time to exterminate. The bait 18 can be placed on the bait shelf, and replaced as needed, by simply unlocking the rear wall 46 and swinging it rearward without ever disturbing the trap Because the snap trap 16 will often flip upward when set off from the inertia of the trap bar 28 rapidly pivoting toward the trigger tray 26 , the present invention includes a means to hold the trap 16 in place within the confinement chamber 48 when set off by the rodent Specifically, the hold down means includes a pair of clips 58 mounted to the floor 34 of the enclosure 14 adjacent the rear wall 46 by fasteners 60 , such as screws.
A portion of the trap base 20 is slid or wedged between each clip 58 and the floor 34 for maintaining the disposition of the trap 16 in its pre-sprung state and when the trap 16 is set off from the action of the rodent These units include a VHF transmitter, which can operate according to user-specified timing and pulse rates, and which changes pulse rates when triggered as with a VHF trapsite transmitter.
Those values can be changed, or VHF disabled completely upon request at the time of order. The Globalstar satellite network consists of 48 satellites in low-earth orbit. Overpasses provide continuous coverage over most terrestrial areas of the world, but the system is not worldwide because of its reliance on ground stations. Data received by the satellite is relayed to a ground station in real time and are available to the user within minutes.
The coverage map for the Globalstar simplex system as used on wildlife is indicated by the map below. Areas in orange are primary coverage areas and those in grey crosshatch are areas of fringe coverage. In addition to email notification of trap-trigger and other changes in status of a trapsite transmitter, the most recently transmitted status of the Globalstar trapsite transmitters can be obtained via Telonics-provided username and password access using the Telonics Trapsite Transmitter Status Check.
The TBTR transmitters operate through the Iridium satellite system, which provides continuous worldwide coverage. The Iridium satellite link provides two-way communications, so the trapsite transmitter can repeat notifications and check-in messages multiple times until it is successfully received.
When a trap is triggered, an Iridium transmission is immediately triggered and that results in an email to the address assigned to that particular TBTR Iridium trap messages are repeated every 15 minutes until the message is received successfully.
Notification messages include the GPS coordinates of the trapsite. Telonics Iridium trapsite transmitters also send a daily check-in message via Iridium.
The time of this check-in message varies since it depends on the time the last message was successfully received by the satellites.
The unit retries this check-in message every 15 minutes until the message is received or up to 20 times. If a check-in is missed, a "missed check-in email" is sent about 25 hours after the last successful transmission.
Users will not receive notification of consecutive missed check-ins, but will be notified as soon as the next message is successfully received by the satellites. These units include an optional VHF transmitter that changes pulse rates when triggered, just like a VHF-only trapsite transmitter.
The VHF beacon operates hours per day i. When the trap is triggered, it operates at BPM. If the battery is too weak for proper operation Iridium transmitters , it operates at 20 BPM. An email notification will received from the trapsite transmitter under any of the following conditions:.
In addition to email notification of trap-trigger and other changes in status of a trapsite transmitter, the most recently transmitted status and GPS location of Iridium trapsite transmitters can be obtained via Telonics-provided username and password access using the Telonics Trapsite Transmitter Status Check.
The battery lasts twice as long if VHF is disabled during deployment. This option results in a variable pulse period which is correlated to the elapsed time since the trap was triggered. The user specifies:.
The beacon can vary the pulse period with either a simple linear scale or a segmented scale of pieces. A linear scale provides constant resolution. A segmented scale allows finer resolution of elapsed time immediately after the trap was triggered and coarser resolution later on, but is more complex to interpret.
Each segment has resolution that is twice as coarse as the segment before it. Telonics provides a graph and a linear equation linear or equations segmented to convert an observed pulse period into an elapsed time.
For precise times this option requires precise measurements of pulse period. The relationship between elapsed time and pulse period can be positive as shown in the graphs below, or negative as indicated in the formula below. The TA-9 is a quarter wave omnidirectional antenna with a ground plane designed for fixed site applications. Approximate length is 33 inches, and the antenna is rated at 0 dBd gain. A mounting mast and cable e. CN Adapter. Kit includes 10 replacement rubber plugs to replace a missing or damaged plug from a trapsite magnet pull lanyard HD Each order of ten plugs is provided with one washer tool HD for use in installing the new plug.

Immediately after the US-led invasion of Iraq, which was opposed by the Syrian government of Bashar al-Asad, there were real fears that Damascus would be next in line for regime change. This perception was reinforced by Washingtons rhetoric and its claims that the post-invasion Iraqi insurgency was being assisted by.
The Fourth Geneva Convention, signed on 12th August , defines necessary humanitarian protections for civilians during armed conflict and occupation. One-hundred-and-ninety-six countries are signatories to the Geneva Conventions, and this particular facet has laid the foundations for all subsequent humanitarian global law. How did the world — against seemingly insurmountable odds — draft. Why did Islamists respond so differently to the Arab Spring?
What do these different responses tell us about Islamists' ideological commitment and resilience, or the contexts within which they were functioning? Credit and debt appear to be natural, permanent facets of Americans' lives, but a debt-based economy and debt-financed lifestyles are actually recent inventions.
