Abstract: A retainer for a bag shoulder strap, including a flat longitudinal member having a retaining portion on one end, a pin retaining member secured to one side of the flat longitudinal member, and a pin member. The pin retaining member defines a transverse space between the retaining member and the longitudinal member adjacent the longitudinal member other end, and also includes wings spaced from the longitudinal member and projecting inwardly from opposite sides adjacent the longitudinal member one end. The pin member includes a transverse portion pivotally trapped in the transverse space, and first and second pin legs extending longitudinally from opposite ends of the transverse portion to pointed ends adjacent the longitudinal member one end. In a securing position the pointed ends of the pin legs are between the pin retaining member wings and the longitudinal member.

Abstract: A protective device for limiting access through an opening formed in one wall of a house for small animals or birds, including an elongated open-ended tubular body having first and second ends and a passage therethrough, a securement for securing the first end of the tubular body to the house, and a support structure extending downwardly from the second end of the tubular body. The support structure includes a perch substantially aligned with the tunnel and extending at least about 0.75 inches from the second end of the tubular body, and/or the top of the second end of the tubular body is recessed toward the one end.

Abstract: A protective device for limiting access to the inside of a small animal house, such as a birdhouse, including a generally tubular, open-ended body defining a passage therethrough and having attachment members at the inner end thereof adapted to pass through an entrance hole in the wall of the house. The body may have openings in the wall for providing air and light. A locking member is threadably engaged with the outer surface of the body, and is adapted to retain the wall of the house between the locking member and body on one side and the retaining members on the other side, with the free end of the body spaced away from the entrance hole to inhibit access therethrough of animals and birds larger than those for which the house was designed.
