Abstract: A urinal screen having a generally triangular planar configuration includes one or more through openings between its top and bottom surfaces. The screen is composed of a liquid soluble material and includes a deodorant which is released as the screen dissolves. Another embodiment of the invention includes contoured top and bottom surfaces tapering away from the center of the screen and downwardly toward its periphery. The soluble material may also include a fragrance and a detergent. A further embodiment includes a raised locating boss on the bottom surface for cooperation with the urinal drain. Still further, the screen may be packaged in a liquid soluble film.

Abstract: An animal trap of the type including an open top vessel suitable for trapping or drowning an animal is disclosed. The animal is attracted to a fixed platform disposed above the open top vessel. A thrust plate, set to sweep across the platform, is disposed above the vessel. A trigger sensitive to the presence of the animal is disposed on the platform. The trigger is operably connected to the thrust plate so that upon sensing the presence of the animal on the platform, the thrust plate is released, thereby sweeping the animal off the platform and into the vessel where the animal is trapped or drowned.
