  • Publication number: 20120324781
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to traps for bed bugs and roaches. Bed bug infestations have taken a dramatic upturn in the last several years and roaches are among the oldest surviving creatures on earth. This trap takes a novel approach to luring bed bugs and/or roaches out of their hiding places, using a live warm blooded animal to entice them into the trap and killing them once they enter the trap by cutting their legs off with a rotating cutter blade, shearing off any protrusion through the perforations in an interior wall.

  • Patent number: 5448784
    Abstract: A urinal assembly is disclosed for use in a toilet apparatus having a toilet bowl, a tank communicably connected to and located generally above the toilet bowl and a supply conduit for delivering water under service line pressure to the tank. The toilet assembly comprises a urinal bowl for mounting within the toilet bowl. An inlet conduit is interconnected between the supply conduit and the bowl. A valve is interconnected to the inlet conduit for controlling the flow of water under service line pressure therethrough. An electrical solenoid is employed to selectively open and close the valve to introduce water to the urinal bowl through the inlet conduit. A discharge conduit is provided for discharging water from the urinal bowl when the bowl is flushed.
