Wind Powered Mole Control Device

US Patent:
5241777, Sep 7, 1993
Filed:
Mar 4, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/845671
Inventors:
Olin L. Looker - Milford IL
Michael J. Smith - Chebanse IL
Assignee:
Looker, Inc. - Milford IL
International Classification:
A01M 2902
US Classification:
43124
Abstract:
A wind-powered mole control device, including a propeller driven shaft on which a clapper is eccentrically loosely mounted. A metal rod extends adjacent the clapper and shaft, and is in communication with the ground. As the shaft is turned by the wind, the clapper strikes the rod end, and rides over the rod end. The striking of the rod and the clapper creates a metallic noise which is repeated as the shaft is turned in the wind, and tends to repel moles.
