Abstract

A wood treatment device may include a container and a closure assembly. The container may include an elongate body with an open end and having an internal expanse for holding a wood-treatment agent in fluid communication with the open end. The closure assembly may be configured, when positioned at the container open end, to close at least partially the open end. The closure assembly may include a release unit having an inner face exposed to the internal expanse and an outer face facing away from the internal expanse. The release unit may be configured to impede passage of the wood-treatment agent through the release unit. In some examples, an adapter may extending distally of the container and have an exposed surface facing the container and defining an opening configured to allow a foot of a manipulation tool to be moved through the opening and pivoted laterally to engage the adapter.

Abstract

A wood-treatment device may provide controlled release of a wood treatment agent, such as a fumigant, when placed into standard bored treatment holes in wood structural members. Fumigant release may be controlled by releasing the fumigant through a controlled-release component that may be in a neck of the container or in a passageway of a cap assembly. The cap assembly may include an extension that dislodges the controlled-release component when placed on an open end of the container or has a needle that punctures a seal covering a container opening. The container may have ends configured to be engaged by an adapter used to manipulate the container in a bored hole. The adapter may clip onto a neck of the container, have flanges to seal a bored hole when inserted therein, and have a distal end with an opening configured for engagement and manipulation by an external tool.
