Electrified bird repellent track
An animal deterring device has a carrier with a first conductive trace that is separated from a second conductive trace. The carrier has a bottom with a first glue trough disposed beneath the first conductive trace. The first conductive trace is coupled to the carrier by a first fastener that extends from the first glue trough to the first conductive trace.
1. An animal deterrent device, comprising:
a flexible, elongated carrier having first and second conductive traces and a bottom with a first trough at least partially disposed beneath the first conductive trace and a second trough at least partially disposed beneath the second conductive trace; and
wherein the first conductive trace is coupled to the carrier by a first fastener that extends from the first trough to the first conductive trace.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive trace comprises a braided wire.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive trace is sewn to the carrier.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the first conductive trace comprises a first seam, and the first trough comprises a second seam.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive trace comprises a braided wire, and the first conductive trace is sewn to the carrier.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive trace comprises a knitted wire.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive trace is separated from the first conductive trace by an elevated arc suppressor.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second conductive traces comprises a braided wire.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second conductive traces comprises a knitted wire.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive trace is sewn to the carrier.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the second conductive trace comprises a first seam, and the second trough comprises a second seam.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the carrier has an elevated arc suppressor disposed between the first and second conductive traces.
13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the elevated arc suppressor has a shape selected from a group consisting of an umbrelloid shape, a T-shape, a stemmed inverted U-shape, and a stemmed inverted V-shape.
14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first trough comprises a raised portion on the bottom of the carrier.
