A mosquito trap that will effectively trap mosquitoes as they invade a persons home to allow for their easy disposal including a base member having an upper end and a lower end. The upper end has a light socket formed therein. A fluorescent bulb is adapted for coupling with the light socket of the base member. A translucent cover member is adapted for coupling with the base member over the fluorescent bulb. A sleeve member is adapted for being removably coupled with the cover member. The sleeve ...

A hand-held syringe-like device has needle containing a trap with a barrel and plunger to draw air into and out of the needle through the trap. In a method of operating the device, particulate matter in air is retained in the trap and subsequently analytes from the trap are desorbed in an analytical instrument.

An animal trap comprises a base and a cage having an open bottom generally cooperating with and resting on the base when in a closed position to form an enclosure. A lower front edge of the cage is pivotally attached to the front edge of the base such that a rear end of the cage may be raised with respect to the base to an open position. A latch is operable to maintain the cage in the open position or the closed position, and a trigger is located in proximity to the center of the front end of th...

A trap apparatus is provided for improving the efficiency of trapping a product or the efficiency of regenerating the trap unit, i.e., the efficiency of removing the product deposited on the trap unit. The trap apparatus is disposed in a discharge path for evacuating a hermetically sealed chamber through a vacuum pump. The trap apparatus comprises a trap unit for depositing thereon a product contained in a discharged gas and removing the product, and the trap unit has a surface which has been su...

An animal trap having two housings slideable relative to each other to trap an animal therein. Removal of the bait by the animal causes the inner housing to slide into the outer housing and seal the trap with the animal therein.

An animal trap (10) including a spring (16) with first and second arm members (18, 20) extending from the spring (16) to outward ends (22, 26) such that the outward ends (22, 26) are biased apart by the spring (16). A loop portion (24) is positioned on the outward end (22) of the first arm member (18) and substantially encircles the outward end (26) of the second arm member (20). A jaw portion (28) on the second arm member (20) is positioned to be biased toward a side (30) of the loop portion (2...

The disclosure is directed to an adhesive type rodent tray including two tray elements connected to one another by a common flange area. Each of the tray elements is provided with an indented portion containing a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive material. The common flange area is arranged such that the two tray elements are co-planar and extend at a 90.degree. angle, relative to one another.

A dental suction wand is used to collect tartar and particulate material during the dental procedure of cleaning teeth. The wand has a large diameter body with a small diameter suction tip connected at one end and an suction hose connected at the other end. The large diameter body forms a discontinuity in the fluid flow by which the particulate material is separated and entrapped in the body. A removable filter may be used to remove the particulate material from the wand for exhibit and explanat...

A trap apparatus is optimum for trapping a material gas discharged from a vapor deposition apparatus for depositing in a vapor phase thin films of high-dielectric or ferroelectric such as barium/strontium titanates on substrates. The trap apparatus is disposed downstream of a vacuum process chamber. The vacuum process chamber is for processing a substrate. The trap apparatus is for trapping a component having a low vapor pressure contained in a gas discharged from the vacuum process chamber. The...

A bullet trap is disclosed which is formed without intervening sidewalls to enable cross-shooting and the like with reduced risk or ricochet or damage to the bullet trap. Furthermore, the bullet trap can be configured in a variety of ways to eliminate the need for facing plates while providing a removable attachment mechanism, to enable repair on the trap, to reduce bullet adhesion to the trap and to provide improved containment of lead and improved access to the trap.
