Abstract

Modular bear or other wild animal deterrent system for a house or building is a deterrent system that uses electrical shock delivery as the deterrent mechanism wherein one or more special strips are mounted to one or more doors or windows of a house or building wherein each special strip dispatches a non-deadly electrical shock to an animal when the animal touches or contacts the special strip. Each special strip has one or more exposed electrically charged wires on the upper surface that render a non-deadly electric shock upon contact therewith. The components of the modular bear or other wild animal deterrent system for a house or building are modular wherein any combination of special strips, special transfer wires, and/or special jumper wires may be easily and quickly assembled and installed on a house or building without the use of any tools.

Claims (103)

1 . A modular bear or other wild animal deterrent system for a house or building comprising: a first one-wire special strip; a second one-wire special strip; a first jumper wire or transfer wire; a second jumper wire or transfer wire; and a power supply unit, wherein,

said first one-wire special strip and said second one-wire special strip each comprise: a base layer and a first exposed wire, wherein,

said base layer is a rigid or semi-rigid planer member,

said base layer has: a width, a length, a thickness, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, a fourth edge, a plane, a latitudinal axis, and a longitudinal axis,

said first exposed wire is a length of rigid wire or semi-rigid wire,

said first exposed wire has a first end, a second end, a length, an outer diameter, and a longitudinal axis,

said first exposed wire is rigidly attached to said upper surface of said base layer wherein said first end of said first exposed wire is adjacent to said first edge of said base layer and said second end of said first exposed wire is adjacent to said third edge of said base layer and said longitudinal axis of said first exposed wire is parallel with said longitudinal axis of said base layer,

said first exposed wire further comprises: a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector,

said first electrical connector is reversibly electromechanically connectable to said second electrical connector without any tools,

said second electrical connector is reversibly electromechanically connectable to said first electrical connector without any tools,

said first electrical connector is rigidly attached to said first end of said first exposed wire, and

said second electrical connector is rigidly attached to said second end of said first exposed wire,

said first jumper wire or transfer wire and said second jumper wire or transfer wire are each an electrical wire with: a first end, a second end, a length, and an outer diameter,

said first jumper wire or transfer wire and said second jumper wire or transfer wire each have a first electrical connector attached to said first end,

said first jumper wire or transfer wire and said second jumper wire or transfer wire each have a second electrical connector attached to said second end,

said power supply unit is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load,

said power supply unit has: a negative output terminal and a positive output terminal,

said first one-wire special strip is attached to a house or building adjacent to a door or window,

said second one-wire special strip is attached adjacent to said house or building adjacent to said door or window,

said first electrical connector on said first jumper wire or transfer wire is electromechanically connected to said negative output terminal on said power supply unit,

said first electrical connector on said second jumper wire or transfer wire is electromechanically connected to said positive output terminal on said power supply unit,

said second electrical connector on said first jumper wire or transfer wire is electromechanically connected to said first electrical connector or said second electrical connector on said first one-wire special strip,

said second electrical connector on said second jumper wire or transfer wire is electromechanically connected to said first electrical connector or said second electrical connector on said second one-wire special strip, and

said power supply unit is connected to a power source.

2 . A modular bear or other wild animal deterrent system for a house or building comprising: a first two-wire special strip; a first jumper wire or transfer wire; a second jumper wire or transfer wire; and a power supply unit, wherein,

said first two-wire special strip comprises: a base layer; a first exposed wire; and a second exposed wire, wherein,
