Abstract: A mechanically operated trap includes a tubular housing with a movable trap door at either end for trapping an insect therein. One end of the housing is shaped for use in corners, and the other end is flat for use against walls, floors, ceilings, etc. The trap doors are actuated, or actuation is initiated, by various user operated means and are maintained in the closed or open positions by various friction, spring, etc., arrangements. Extension handle means may be included to allow reaching normally-inaccessible insects. The trapped insect may be removed to the outdoors, or otherwise disposed of.

Abstract: A portable, hand-held apparatus or implement employing various interchangeable soil working assemblies, wherein the latter rotate about an axis oriented substantially normal to the soil surface, i.e., the assembly rotates in a horizontal plane parallel to the soil surface. The soil working assemblies selectively include soil engaging tine, auger, drill, etc., members which depend via integral support bases from a central guide rod. The guide rod extends along the axis of rotation of the soil working assembly, wherein the tip thereof engages the soil prior to contact therewith by the rest of the assembly. The apparatus contemplates various power source configurations, mutually interchangeable with the various soil working assemblies, dependent upon the operation to be performed, the existing soil conditions, etc. Thus the apparatus may include manual, electrical, gas, etc., power sources and may employ cultivating, mulching, weeding, boring, etc., assemblies.
