System to deter rodents from accessing a pipe system
11596142 · 2023-03-07 ·

A rodent deterrent system for a pipe system, the pipe system including a T-junction and a midsection riser. The deterrent system for the T-junction includes a first mesh screen configured to surround a vertical portion of the T-junction and a second mesh screen configured to surround a horizontal portion of the T-junction. Also, the deterrent system for a perforated riser includes a mesh wrap sleeve configured to surround the midsection of the riser. Alternatively, the riser midsection sleeve can be lengthened so that the second mesh is not needed as the lengthened sleeve also performs the same function as the second screen.

Bed-floor gap bumper
11470979 · 2022-10-18 ·

A bumper designed to block a gap in between a bed and the floor, preventing household items, pets, and children from going into the space underneath beds, and, thus, eliminating messes, damage, injury, or loss. The bumper may be made of corrugated paper, heavy paperboard, or cardboard. The bumper may comprise a flat, rectangular body segmented into flat, rectangular sections using parallel folds, where the sections are configured to secure the bumper in between the bed and the floor. The bumper is setback from the bedframe perimeter to not be obtrusive, strong enough to resist inward pressure, and, in some embodiments, may contain markings to indicate triangular truncations. A plurality of bumpers may, through a series of truncations, be customized to fully block access to the space underneath the bed for variety of bed lengths, widths, and heights.

Downspout end cover having protection from animal/insect intrusion and damage/debris accumulation
11473309 · 2022-10-18 ·

A downspout end cover protects and closes a lower end of a rain gutter downspout assembly. The cover includes a body that forms a continuous hollow channel with the top and the bottom for passage of collected rainwater. The back of the body forms a first aperture sized to attach to an end of the downspout and the front forms a second aperture that emits collected rainwater. A door is rotatably attached to the front of the body at a top of the front of the body by a hinge and when closed, prevents entry of animals, insects or blown debris. A ledge provided behind the door, so that the door, when closed, rests against the ledge and does not protrude from the body, protecting the door and sealing the downspout end cover against entry of insects and preventing detachment of the door from the body.

WILDLIFE GUARD ASSEMBLIES FOR LINE POST INSULATORS
20230119219 · 2023-04-20 · ·

A wildlife guard assembly is provided that includes two cover sections, a biasing member, and a toggle action lever mechanism. The cover sections are hinged so that the cover sections, when in a closed position, a cavity to capture a line post insulator is defined. The biasing member normally biases the cover sections to the closed position. The lever mechanism is connected to the cover sections and has an over-center position that releasably holds the two cover sections in an open position. The lever mechanism is positioned in the cavity such that, during installation on the line post insulator, the line post insulator interacts with the lever mechanism to move the lever mechanism from the over-center position to allow the biasing member and the lever mechanism to move the cover sections to the closed position.
