Abstract
A pest collection-disposable device having a means to pull a vacuum or to move air positioned in an elongated air duct forming at least part of the inside of a housing, preferably part of the duct comprises a disposable, telescoping tube containing a pest collector therein or comprising an essentially elongated circular tube containing a flexible flap means, said flap means acting to effect a surge initially of the air flow and spaced down stream a short ways a filter or screen means to stop the pest and when the fan stops, allows the flap to return to its original position to trap the pest between the flap and the screen.
Claims7
A pest collection-disposable device comprising a housing having an air duct with an exit opening and an inlet opening to said duct and a vacuum or suction means in said housing in cooperative air moving relationship to said duct, said vacuum or suction means comprising an electric motor and fan connected to said motor and a switch to power said motor from a source of electricity, said duct having in its inlet opening a telescoping tube having a disposable-replaceable filter cartridge positioned therein and said cartridge having a flap means positioned therein spaced from the tube entry end and a filter means positioned between said flap means and the tube exit end.
A pest collection disposable device comprising a housing having an air duct with an exit opening and an inlet opening to said duct, said duct including at least one slidable telescoping tube capable of telescoping in relation to the duct to vary the length, and a vacuum or suction means in said housing in cooperative air moving relationship to said duct, said vacuum or suction means comprising an electric motor and a fan connected to said motor and a switch to power said motor from source of electricity, and a disposable-replaceable cartridge positioned cooperatively with said duct to collect and retain the pest intact within said cartridge said pest being retained in the disposable cartridge when said cartridge is disposed of by means within said cartridge.
A pest collection disposable device comprising a housing having an air duct with an exit opening and an inlet opening to said duct, said duct including an extension tube to vary the length of the duct, and a vacuum or suction means in said housing in cooperative air moving relationship to said duct, said vacuum or suction means comprising an electric motor and fan operated by said motor and a switch to power said motor from a source of electricity and a disposable-replaceable cartridge positioned within said duct to collect the pest brought into said cartridge and retain said pest when the cartridge is disposed, said tube having an access opening to receive the cartridge.
A pest collection disposable device comprising a housing having an air duct with an exit opening and an inlet opening to said duct and a vacuum or suction means in said housing in cooperative air moving relationship to said duct, said vacuum or suction means comprising an electric motor and fan connected to said motor and a switch to power said motor from a source of electricity and a replaceable-disposable cartridge positioned within said duct to collect the pest brought into said duct, said duct including a telescoping tube retained in position with spaced-apart elastomeric gaskets that may be removed to load and unload the cartridge.
