Abstract: A deterrent device for delivering an electric shock to an animal, pest or bird to be deterred, having the typical components of a non-conductive base to which the electrically conductive elements are attached. Instead of the typically-used copper wire, however, the braided elements comprise smaller strands of a conductive material, such as copper, aluminum or stainless steel wire, is used and is mechanically attached to the non-conductive base. The braided elements can be mechanically attached using a simple sewing operation in which the braid is sewn to the base. Because of the mechanical attachment and the ability of the braided elements to flex in both contraction and extension, the device of this invention can be used in tight corners and other contorted locations without having the wires of the typical prior art device pull free of the base.

Abstract: An electric deterrent device and methods for installing and producing an electric deterrent device for delivering an electric shock to an animal, pest, or bird to be deterred, having the components of an elongated flexible non-conductive base to which the electrically conductive elements are coupled.

Abstract: An electric deterrent device and methods for installing and producing an electric deterrent device for delivering an electric shock to an animal, pest, or bird to be deterred, having the components of an elongated flexible non-conductive base to which the electrically conductive elements are coupled, where the conductive elements are coupled to base during the extrusion process.

Abstract: An electric deterrent device and methods for installing and producing an electric deterrent device for delivering an electric shock to an animal, pest, or bird to be deterred, having the typical components of a non-conductive base to which the electrically conductive elements are attached. The bottom layer unfolds outward to allow sewing of the conductive elements to the top layer of the elongated base, while preventing the stitching from penetrating the bottom layer of the elongated base. The bottom layer is then folded back into place after sewing is completed, thereby insulating any hole, fastener, or conductive element that pushed through the top layer of the elongated base from water or other material that may congregate at the bottom exterior, preventing unwanted arcing to the exterior surface below. Voids may also be included in the base of the device.

Abstract: This new window cleaning tool involves the usage of a metal wool in sheet format which can be folded and sewed and fitted onto a handle or an extendable pole. This new window cleaning tool has the performance characteristics of cleaning without scratching the window and it can be used at distance. The sheet material lasts longer and actually does a better job than plain metal wool bundles.
