Rebaitable rodent bait station

摘要

A rodent bait station has a plastic base with a bottom opening which receives a removable bait receptacle which is engaged by two resilient fingers to the base, and secured by a downward projection from the lid, which offers a child-resistant latch, such that the bait receptacle can only be removed for rebaiting by simultaneously deflecting the downward projection and the two fingers while extracting the receptacle.

1. A re-baitable rodent bait station comprising:
a bait station comprising a bait station interior and a bait station exterior surface; portions of the bait station exterior surface defining an opening; a bait receptacle removably positionable within the bait station to extend through the opening and substantially within the bait station interior, wherein the bait receptacle has a floor and bait retaining structures extending from the floor, wherein the floor has a flange such that when the bait receptacle is positioned substantially within the bait station interior, the flange underlies the bait station exterior surface; a lock mounted between the bait receptacle and the bait station, the lock comprising: a first member resiliently mounted to the bait receptacle which is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, which unlocks the bait receptacle from the bait station, and; a second member, configured to interact with the first member, resiliently mounted to the bait station which is movable between a locked and an unlocked position, wherein the first member is mounted for movement in a first direction and the second member is mounted for movement in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, such that when the first member is moved in the first direction to the unlocked position and the second member is moved in the second direction to the unlocked position, then and only then can the movement of the second member be effective in releasing the removable bait receptacle from the bait station.
