Abstract

A funnel has upper and lower ends adapted to be inserted into bottles or containers to stack a first container above a second container to allow liquid to drain from the inverted first container into the upright second container. The upper end of the funnel includes resilient posts, with a spacer extending therebetween to provide a stable fit of the upper end into the first container. The tops of the posts include enlarged caps to preclude the spacer from sliding off the posts and possibly becoming lost.

Abstract

A trap for capturing small animals, such as raccoons, includes a housing with front and rear doors, and a three-way trigger which is actuated by an animal trying to reach bait located in the housing and behind the trigger. The trigger can be moved longitudinally forward to a set position which holds the door open to release the door to a closed position. The trigger can be actuated or tripped in either left or right lateral directions, or in a rearward longitudinal direction to release the door to a closed position. The trigger is spring biased toward the set position. The front door slides vertically within guide tracks extending along opposite lateral edges of the front door, or alternatively, is hinged for pivotal movement. The back door can be opened for positioning bait inside the housing.
