  • Publication number: 20190104725
    Abstract: An animal trap comprising a pair of complementary curved jaws rotatably mounted on a frame or base plate, and springs on the frame cooperating with a pair of opposed levers for urging the jaws toward each other from an open position to a closed or animal foot-holding restraining position. A foot pan is located on the frame between the jaws. A trigger-release assembly is employed to restrain the jaws in the open position by being engaged between the pan and jaws. When the animal steps on the pan causing it to move axially downward, the trigger-release assembly is activated causing the spring-biased levers to close the jaws about the foot of the animal.

  • Patent number: 4706748
    Abstract: A device for scraping the inside of pipes clogged with foreign materials is comprised of (1) a mandrel having a conical cam whose top is attached to a mechanical power source and around which is mounted (2) a plurality of annularly expandable scraper elements whose combined outside configuration approximates a tube which can be inserted into the pipe, and whose combined inside configuration approximates an expandable, conical dome into which the mandrel's conical cam is pulled in order to annularly expand the elements of the conical dome and hence expand the plurality of scraper elements as the entire device is pulled through the pipe and (3) means for limiting the annular expansion of the scraper elements.
