Abstract: An method and apparatus for receiving and mixing a portion of animal waste material and sand includes a receptacle capable of allowing an animal to enter therein and receiving a portion of animal waste material; and a vibrating motor communicating with the receptacle for causing the animal waste material to move in a predetermined path. A removable trap for receiving and retaining at least a portion of the animal waste material may be located in the predetermined path. A catcher may be applied to communicate with the sand and animal waste material for receiving and retaining at least a portion of the animal waste material while the vibrating motor is operating.

Abstract: A lock operator located between a backing plate and sliding cover includes pivot plate for activating and deactivating the main boltworks and a relocker, an overtravel stop assembly for sequestering the pivot plate to prevent relock, a spring braised knob for locking the pivot plate in the locked or unlocked position, a pin for locking the sliding cover, pivot plate and locking plate in the locked position and means for automatically activating/deactivating the overtravel stops assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing the vulnerability to unauthorized entry past a r comprising a first rectangular shaped plate attached to the outside of the door, the first plate having a second or strike plate positioned to extend into the door frame to resist separation of the door and its door frame when the door is closed. The apparatus further comprises a third rectangular shaped plate attached to the inside of the door and communicating with the first plate. A portion of the first plate extends beyond the door covering a portion of the door frame. The apparatus is adapted to receive a door locking mechanism having a dead bolt. When the door is in a closed position and the dead bolt is activated, the dead bolt is extended through a pair of apertures in the door frame. Extending the dead bolt through the pair of apertures in the door frame reinforces the door and door frame and places all applied loads during forced entry directly to the dead bolt via double shear.
