No. 7,735,258, filed Sep. 21, 2005, which is a national phase application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application No. PCT/US2004/008692 filed Mar. 19, 2004, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/456,807 filed Mar. 22, 2003, all of which are incorporated by reference without disclaimer.
- The present invention relates to the field of rodent and insect bait stations.
- Bait stations are used to house poisonous bait that kill rodents or insects. Typical rodent bait station configurations are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,448,852 and 5,040,327. In summary, a typical rodent bait station comprises an enclosure containing poisonous bait. One or more doorways into the enclosure is provided for the rodent to enter and eat some of the bait. The poisonous bait causes the rodent to die after leaving the bait station. Partitions within the enclosure prevent harm to a child by forming angles around which a child cannot reach to touch the bait. A lid that can only be opened with a special tool is provided to replace the bait, thereby making the bait station tamper resistant. Insect bait stations are similar in operation.
- A bait station must be secured to prevent it from easily being tipped over or moved. The conventional manner for securing a bait station is to bolt it to something heavy such as a concrete structure or patio block. For example, a long bolt can be inserted through the base of the bait station and through a hole in a patio block. Then a washer and nut is screwed onto a threaded end of the bolt to secure the bait station to the patio block. The weight of the patio block then holds the bait station in place. Such methods of securing a base station are inconvenient and what is needed is a more convenient method for securing a base station.
- The present invention overcomes prior art limitations by providing an easy method to secure a bait station. According to one aspect of the invention, a bait station is provided with a receptacle in which a patio block or other heavy material can be inserted to weight the bait station. According to another aspect of the invention, for ease of manufacture, a separate unit to which the bait enclosure of the bait station can be connected forms the receptacle that holds the block, weight or heavy material. According to another aspect of the invention, an existing bait station can be adapted to be secured to the receptacle that holds the weight using an easily implemented adapting mechanism designed there for. According to yet another aspect of the invention a stake is provided to secure the bait station to the ground as an alternative to using a weighting structure.
- The foregoing has outlined rather broadly aspects, features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional aspects, features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the disclosure provided herein may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. Persons of skill in the art will realize that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims, and that not all objects attainable by the present invention need be attained in each and every embodiment that falls within the scope of the appended claims.

FIG. 1 . Aconventional enclosure 1000 for a bait station is molded from a suitable plastic material as a unit with areceptacle 1200.Receptacle 1200 is dimensioned to receive aweighting structure 1400, such as an ordinary commercially available patio block that can slide into thereceptacle 1200. In this way, no special securing apparatus, such as a nut, bolt, and washer assembly, is required to secure the bait station to the patio block or other weighting structure. Moreover, the patio block can be removed from the bait station by simply removing it from thereceptacle 1200, without the necessity of disassembling a separate securing mechanism such as the aforementioned bolt assembly. Further, one ormore lip mechanisms 1300 can be provided to secure the weight in place withinreceptacle 1200. Alternative methods may be employed to secure the weight in place within the receptacle such as described with reference toFIG. 7 . - Another preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in
FIG. 2 . A conventional bait station 2000 is molded separately from areceptacle 2200 for ease and lower cost of manufacture. Bait station 2000 may then be permanently or removably connected toreceptacle 2200. As described abode with reference toFIG. 1 ,receptacle 2200 is designed to hold a weighting structure such as apatio block 2400, which can be secured in place withlip mechanisms 2300, or functionally comparable mechanism. - As an alternative, or in addition to, the
lip mechanisms FIG. 1 or 2 , an end cap that covers and encloses the open end ofreceptacle receptacle 2200, enabling insertion and enclosure of a patio block, rock, gravel, sand, concrete, or other material of sufficient density to weight the bait station. - One method for securing bait station 2000 to
receptacle 2200 is to use an adhesive cement to bond thebase 2020 of bait station 2000 to anupper surface 2220 ofreceptacle 2200. A method for removably securing bait station 2000 toreceptacle 2200 is to provide one or more nut and bolt assemblies, as shown inFIG. 3 . Abolt 3010 is inserted upward through awasher 3020 and throughupper surface 2220 ofreceptacle 2200, through asecond washer 3030 and throughbase 2020 of bait station 2000, and is secured with anut 3040. A plurality of nut and bolt assemblies so installed and distributed over the area ofbase 2020 may be provided for greater strength and durability. Clearly, the bolts can also or alternatively be inserted downward through the base through the upper surface of the receptacle. - An alternative method for securing bait station 2000 to
receptacle 2200 is by providing a tongue and groove mechanism as shown inFIG. 4 . On the underside of thebase 2020 of bait station 2000 is atongue 4020.Tongue 4020 is dimensioned and positioned to mate with a groove 4040—shown, for clarity, at right angles to the direction oftongue 4020—formed inupper surface 2220 of receptacle 220. Whentongue 4020 is inserted through groove 4040 alip 4050 oftongue 4020 causes the bait station 2000 to be secured toreceptacle 2200. A plurality of tongue and groove mechanisms so installed and distributed over the area of base 2020 may be provided for greater strength and durability. Clearly, the grooves may also or alternatively be formed in the base of the enclosure to receive tongues formed to protrude from the upper surface of the receptacle. - Another embodiment for securing bait station 2000 to
receptacle 2200 is to provide one or more protrusions 5050, as shown inFIG. 5 . Protrusion 5050 extends upward from theupper surface 2220 ofreceptacle 2200, through ahole 5060 in thefloor 2020 of bait enclosure 2000. A plurality of protrusions 5050 andmating holes 5060 for receiving the protrusions so formed and distributed over the area of base 2020 may be provided for greater strength and durability. Clearly, the protrusions may also or alternatively extend downward from the base of the enclosure and protrude into holes provided in the receptacle. - Another embodiment of the invention is shown in
FIG. 6 , where an alternative to providing a receptacle for a weighting structure is provided. One ormore stakes 6010 are formed as a part of a unitary whole with bait station enclosure 2000.Stakes 6010 are directed downward from thebase 2020 of bait station 2000 into the earth, thereby securing the bait station in place. This may be preferable to use of a weighting structure in certain situations. A plurality ofstakes 6010 distributed over the area of base 2020 may be provided for greater strength and durability. By forming the stakes as a unitary part of the bait enclosure, separate stakes need not be provided. -
FIG. 7 shows an alternative configuration of a receptacle 7200 for holding a weighting structure such as a patio block for securing a bait enclosure. This configuration requires less material for manufacture. As an alternative to molding lip mechanisms, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , a locking bar may be inserted throughslots 7270 to secure the weighting structure within receptacle 7200.Holes 7250 are shown for securing receptacle 7200 to a bait enclosure using methods described above with reference toFIGS. 2 through 6 . - A top view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 8 . Anenclosure 8000 for a bait station is preferably molded from a suitable plastic material as an integral unit. Alid 8200 shown in the open position inFIG. 8 is molded to theenclosure 8000, folding atline 8801 Formed inlid 8200 are two sets of lockingretention elements 8001 which, when the lid is closed, interlock with corresponding sets ofdeflection elements 8002 integrally molded into theenclosure 8000. - Formed in
bait station 8000 are twodoors 8700, one in each sidewall of the station, to enable rodents and other pests, such as roaches, to enter and exit the enclosure. Interior to the enclosure is a bait chamber formed bywalls 8900 that extend vertically from the bottom ofenclosure 8000 up to the top of the enclosure flush with the surface oflid 8200 whenlid 8200 is closed. Adoor 8500 to the bait chamber enables the rodent or pest to enter and access the poisonous bait placed in the bait chamber in region A. -
FIG. 9 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, showingside door 8700 and interior wall 900. Note that the orientation and dimension of theenclosure doors 8700 andbait chamber door 8500 inwall 8900 is such that no child could insert his or her hand into theenclosure 8000 and reach the bait. Also note that thedoor 8500 exhibits athreshold 9600 that is raised slightly, about a half inch from the bottom ofenclosure 8000, to prevent liquid from entering the bait chamber. - At the top of
enclosure 8000 is anexterior lip 8300 that protrudes upward from asurface 9200 and extends around at least most of the outer periphery of the top of the enclosure. A second lip 9100 also protrudes upward fromsurface 9200 and extends around at least most of the periphery of the top ofenclosure 8000, following a path a distance t from the edge oflip 8300. At the top oflid 8200 is also alip 8201 extending around at least most of the periphery oflid 8200. Whenlid 8200 is closed to coverenclosure 8000, thenlip 8201 fits betweenlips 8300 and 9100. More particularly, the outermost edge 8202 oflip 8201 fits snugly against or closely adjacent to the innermost edge 8301 oflip 8300. This prevents an attempt to pry open the lid by preventing a sharp or flat-edged object from being inserted between the top of the enclosure and the lid, thereby adding supplemental tamper resistance. Thus, a lip engaging mechanism is provided to further enhance the tamper-resistant functionality of the bait station of the present invention. Note that the engaginglips - Also shown in
FIG. 8 , integrally molded intolid 8200 areridges 8602. These ridges add strength to the lid. Further, forced lateral shifting of the lid is substantially prevented becauseridges 8602 when shifted laterally will contact and be blocked bywalls 8900 from any substantial lateral shifting. - Although the present invention and its advantageous have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. The invention achieves multiple objectives and because the invention can be used in different applications for different purposes, not every embodiment falling within the scope of the attached claims will achieve every objective. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments of the process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, means, methods and steps described in the specification. As one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate from the disclosure of the present invention, processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, or steps, presently existing or later to be developed that perform substantially the same function or achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding embodiments described herein may be utilized according to the present invention. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to include within their scope such processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, for steps.
