  • Publication number: 20240000061
    Abstract: A rodent trap (1) for catching and killing rodents, in particular mice and/or rats comprises clamp means (2) at least having an upper jaw part (3) and a lower jaw part (4). The upper jaw part (3) is able to swing relative to the lower jaw part (4) from an open position to a closed position in which it hits and kills a rodent. The upper jaw part is at least partially rotatable around a jaw rotational axis (Ajaw). A lifting lever (5) for releasing the clamp means (2) from the opened position is comprised. The lifting lever (5) is activatable by a rodent on the first side (f) of the jaw rotational axis (Ajaw). A force means enables the clamp means (2) to change from the open position into the closed position when released. The force means in particular is at least one spring. The lifting lever (5) comprises a latch means (7) on a latch side (LS) of the lifting lever (5) which is arranged on a second side (s) of the jaw rotational axis (Ajaw), opposite of the first side (f) of the jaw rotational axis (Ajaw).

  • Patent number: 10964297
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the length of a cord for carrying a wind instrument comprises two parts which can be pushed into one another, of which the first cup-shaped part has a recess and four openings and the second part has, as insert, a groove with a U-turn as well as a recess and two guide grooves. A cord piece is guided around the groove, out of the device and through an eyelet of a hook. A further cord piece is guided through the guide grooves and the four openings. The device allows the cord piece to be guided through the groove, which is completely separated from the guidance of cord pieces through the guide grooves. The guide grooves contain elements for deflecting and inhibiting the movement of the cord pieces. The device enables a stable and torsion-proof handling of the length adjustment of the cord. The device makes it possible that the cord length cannot adjust automatically, not even if the cord is not tensioned.

  • Patent number: 10186240
    Abstract: A sound deflector for a wind instrument has a sound deflector plate and a device for the mounting thereof on the edge of a bell of the wind instrument. The device for mounting the deflector plate has an upper part and a lower part, which are respectively fastenable on the outer surface or the inner side of the bell edge. The upper and lower parts are connected to one another by means of a hinge. According to the invention, the lower part and upper part each have at least two nubs having rounded edges. When the upper and lower parts are brought together, the nubs of the upper part and lower parts are each arranged offset in relation to one another. The sound deflector enables fastening on instruments having bell edges of different shapes and curvatures or on music stands. The offset arrangement of the nubs on the mounting device enables a clamping fastening on a bell edge. The sound deflector according to the invention is therefore universally usable.

  • Publication number: 20140230312
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a snap trap for small animals such as mice or rats, comprising a striking device which can be brought into a striking position and a standby position. The snap trap comprises a housing with a base and with an elongate inner compartment which is open at both longitudinal ends, at one longitudinal end of which an inlet opening leading to an, in particular tunnel-shaped, inlet section of the housing is arranged and at the other longitudinal end of which the striking device is arranged in a striking region of the housing. The disclosure is distinguished by the fact that the striking device is designed for at least partially closing an end opening of the inner compartment in the striking region of the housing and in particular completely closes the opening when the striking device is in the striking position.
