This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 12/688,748 which was filed on Jan. 15, 2010. That application is entitled “Device for the Removal of Arachnids, and Method for Removal of Small Arachnids and Insects.”
FIG. 1 is a first perspective view of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects, showing our new design. For illustrative purposes, a cap of the device is exploded away from a collet ring and a connected elongated stem. The elongated stem, in turn, is exploded away from a butt of the device. A removable tape cartridge is shown around the elongated stem.
FIG. 2 is a second perspective view of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects of FIG. 1. The removable tape cartridge is shown exploded away from a collet ring and elongated bore, for illustrative purposes.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the device, without the tape roll and without the cap.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects of FIG. 1. The cap has been placed over the elongated stem and threadedly tightened down onto a body of the device.
FIG. 5 is a front elevation view of the device. The cap has been placed over the elongated stem and threadedly tightened down onto a body of the device. The back side elevational view of the device is a mirror image of the front side.
FIG. 6 is a top view of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects of FIG. 1.
FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects of FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 8 is a left elevation view of the device. The cap has again been placed over the elongated stem and threadedly tightened down onto the body of the device. The right side elevational view is a mirror image of the left side.
The device for the removal of arachnids and insects shown in the drawings and claimed herein represents an assembly having a body, an elongated stem extending upward from the body at a first end, a collet ring at a distal end of the elongated stem, a cap dimensioned to enclose the elongated stem and to be secured to the body, and a butt securable to the body at an opposing second end.
The features shown in broken lines depict portions of the device for the removal of arachnids and insects which are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. In addition, the configuration of the tape roll is disclaimed.
