  • Publication number: 20080006481
    Abstract: The disclosed scaffolding system utilizes elongated members/rails that define a rectangular, e.g., square, cross-section and are adapted to be joined relative to each other using a nesting sleeve or union. The elongated members/rails are thus routinely joined to each other in the field using pre-defined apertures and cooperative hitch pins. L-shaped rail-mounting brackets are typically mounted at “top” ends of the elongated members/rails, i.e., the ends of the elongated members/rails to be positioned at/adjacent the roof apex. The L-shaped rail-mounting brackets include a sleeve portion of rectangular/square cross-section that is adapted to cooperate with the elongated member/rail through a telescoping action, and appropriate pins/aperture alignment may be used for securement purposes.

  • Publication number: 20060005461
    Abstract: A rodent trap assembly is provided that includes: (i) an enclosure defining at least one outer wall and an enclosed region; (ii) a trap positioned within the enclosed region; and (iii) a viewing window formed in the at least one outer wall. The viewing window is advantageously sized and positioned relative to the trap such that the condition of the trap may be determined by viewing of the trap through the viewing window. The disclosed assembly provides a safe, sanitary way to catch rodents (and other small animals), while eliminating the need to handle dead and potentially contaminated rodents/animals. The unsightly aspects of dealing with trapped rodents/animals are largely eliminated by positioning the trap mechanism within an enclosure. Disposal of the trapped rodent is facilitated through simple closure of the bag/container with the trapped rodent/animal therewithin.
