Abstract: A bait station for feeding toxic bait to pest and rodents. The Safety Bait Applicator is generally enclosed structure having two open entrances where a pest rodent can enter and feed on the toxic bait chunks. The bait chunks are held in the center of the special designed tee area that prevents the pests from removing the toxic bait chunks from the bait station. See drawings A. and B. FIG. 5. for illustrations of the how the bait chunks cannot pass through the openings.

Abstract: A mounting bracket includes an enclosure which is formed of a single piece of durable plastic formed with three living hinges allowing the generally flat piece of plastic to be folded into an enclosure. Fingers which extend from the lower edge of the front panel engage in openings in the lower panel to retain the bracket in an assembled position forming the desired enclosure. A trigger actuating arm is pivotally mounted to a bushing within the enclosure and permits a photograph to be taken when a critter engages a trip wire.

Abstract: A spacer/support having a body portion, a surface engaging portion and a securement to attach the body portion to a weldment plate in tilt-up construction is disclosed. In a first embodiment, the securement includes a plurality of fingers that can snap onto the head of a Nelson stud. A second embodiment is equipped with a flat head that can be secured to the weldment plate using an adhesive. The length of the spacer/support may be adjusted manually by cutting the body to length or by rotating one threaded member relative to a second to accommodate different thicknesses of walls. The spacer/support is preferably plastic but may be metal.

Abstract: Tie wire with a square cross section is provided which has a 30% increase in tensile strength and at least a 100% increase in surface contact with rebar which it is used to secure. The generally square configuration includes four convex portions at the corners, each pair of convex portions being interconnected by a concave portion. The concave portions may achieve an even larger increase in surface contact as they contact the surface of the rebar.

Abstract: A flat oblong piece of brightly colored, durable, stretchable elastomeric material has a pair of apertures spaced by approximately 2″ less than the outermost reaches of the cleat arms. The visual guard may be stretched over the arms of the cleat and provides a visual warning to passersby without interfering with the function of the cleat: a rope may be attached above or below the guard without inhibiting its function.

Abstract: A device and method for eliminating scaring and damage to a concrete slab floor during the erection and placement of the associated surrounding concrete walls.

Abstract: A spreader nozzle for granular material in which the material is discharged through a grille of horizontal bars forming openings of length to height ratio such that the material will not flow through the openings under the static head of the material but will flow freely through the openings when the grille is vibrated.

Abstract: Apparatus for spreading granular material such as salt, cinders and the like in which the conveyor is an assembly insertable into the hopper and the drive for the conveyor and spreader are mounted on the assembly. The conveyor assembly rests on the bottom wall of the hopper. The discharge of material starts at the rear wall of the hopper. The result is a reduction in the weight, height and length and a lowering of the center of gravity of the apparatus.
