  • Patent number: 7458116
    Abstract: In certain preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a cot assembly that includes side pieces, supporting end pieces and bedding material. Preferably the cot assembly holds the end pieces a spaced apart distance, and in one feature allows a side piece to be selectively released. In one embodiment, the end pieces move towards each other to release a side piece, optionally by sliding a side piece through an end piece channel. In one preferred embodiment, the bedding material is mounted to and retained by the end pieces and extends across the interior of the cot to overlap or enclose the side pieces without any gaps between the material, the side pieces and the end pieces. In other embodiments, the invention includes an improved method for attaching the material to the end pieces and an improved cot assembly method. In a preferred option, the bedding material is continuously attached to the end piece along a portion of an end piece.

  • Patent number: 6877270
    Abstract: A pest control device (10), and a method of suppressing a pest, which can be discretely and easily placed, serviced and removed from the proximity of areas where pests, including rodents and insects, are likely to frequent, including the area near the floor-wall juncture (54) behind shelving (44) and/or products (52) or equipment. The pest control device (10) has a pest suppression device (18) having an ingress for the pest and an elongate arm (20?) with an overhanging structure (56) having a proximate end (24) and a distal end (26), the proximate end (24) of the elongate arm (20?) connected to the pest suppression device (20?) communicating with the ingress and facilitating a pathway for the pest from the distal end (26) of the elongate arm (20?) to the ingress. The pest suppression device (10) may be mounted on a platform (12 or 14) and the elongate arm (20?) mounted instead to the platform (12 or 14).
