Abstract: A trap and method for trapping a mouse or other rodent. The present invention is directed to an animal trap, particularly to a mouse trap or the like in combination with an enclosure in the form of a plastic bag inside a cover. The enclosure is contoured so as to fit within the cover and has an open rear end to admit an entry therein of the rodent. When the rodent enters the enclosure and touches a pad end of the trigger member, the spring-loaded striker is released from a catch position and kills the rodent within the enclosure by entering the lower portion of the cover through two vertical slots without penetrating the enclosure. The enclosure is then pulled from the cover by the user and disposed of. The bag can be of the colored plastic type, so the user will not even see the mouse inside of it.

Abstract: A liquid-expressing tong-like implement for removing liquid from a can of food product containing solid food product immersed in liquid formed as a pair of scissor-like elongated arms pivoted together and having a finger loop formation at handle-forming rear end portions thereof and front end portions at the ends opposite said finger loop formations providing loop-shaped jaw formations. One of the jaw formation loops has a generally straight rod-like front leg portion extending transversely of its associated elongated arm, and a flat platen member sized to fit into an opened food product can to exert pressing forces onto the solid food product is pivotally coupled to the rod-like leg portion for pivotal movement about that transversely arranged leg portion. The other of the jaw formation loops defines a flat portion to engage the bottom of the opened can.
