  • Patent number: 11445719
    Abstract: A removeable, adhesive wrapper used to augment any existing rodent trap by affixation to the top, side and bottom faces of the rodent trap's operating platform. It is folded about the operating platform and connected to itself, leaving an adhesive layer facing up in the region of the bait station. When the rodent steps on it and stops to take the bait, they are no longer capable of quickly moving when they activate the trap's trigger and the kill bar of the rodent trap is released. Even if the rodent does not reach the bait station, their jiggling efforts to extricate their feet and/or lower body from the adhesive wrapper will activate the trigger. Once dead, the adhesive wrapper may be unfolded and wrapped around the dead rodent for disposal.

  • Patent number: 10501234
    Abstract: A unitary, single-use, sanitary seal for a beverage can. It has a number of redundant sealing interfaces incorporated into its design and uses of both friction fit and captive seals. It may be installed at the canning facility or elsewhere by a third party, with or without the use of heating. Its dome construction flexes the side walls and seals outward in an expansive manner to allow installation. To remove, the seal must be destroyed, leaving a visual indication. It allows a conventional six-pack ring to be used as well as the vertical stacking of groupings of cans. Antibacterial agents such as silver, copper, zinc, tin, or the like may optionally be incorporated into the seal's material to enhance or maintain sterility.
