Abstract

An animal reverser device can include a housing containing a trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises via sewer-related tubing. A first tubular connection pipe can connect to drain piping and can protrude downward into the housing. An area formed around the outer surface of the first tubular connection pipe within its protrusion within the housing can create the trap zone. A second tubular connection integrated with a bottom of the housing and protruding downward from the housing can be connected to an existing drain trap or sewer line pipe that carries waste away from the premises.

Claims (30)

1 . An animal reverser device, comprising:

a housing containing a trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises via sewer-related tubing;

a first tubular connection pipe having a first end for connection to drain piping coupled to a existing sink, bathtub or toilet and a second end protruding downward into the housing;

an area formed around the outer surface of the first tubular connection pipe within the housing creating the trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises from the first tubular connection pipe, wherein air holes are formed in the trap zone near a top of the housing; and

a second tubular connection integrated with a bottom of the housing, the second tubular connection protruding downward from the housing to a third end adapted for connection to an existing drain trap or sewer line pipe that carries waste away from the premises.

2 . The animal reverser device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is shaped like a sphere.

3 . The animal reverser device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is shaped like a tapered horn.

4 . The animal reverser device of claim 1 , further comprising a curbed coupling zone formed at a top of the housing where the housing is connectable to a drainpipe.

5 . The animal reverser device of claim 1 , wherein the curbed coupling zone is adapted to prevent animals from biting the edge of tubing leading into the housing.

6 . An animal reverser device, comprising:

a housing containing a trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises via sewer-related tubing;

a first tubular connection pipe having a first end for connection to drain piping coupled to a existing sink, bathtub or toilet and a second end protruding downward into the housing;

an area formed around the outer surface of the first tubular connection pipe within the housing creating the trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises from the first tubular connection pipe;

a second tubular connection integrated with a bottom of the housing, the second tubular connection protruding downward from the housing to a third end adapted for connection to an existing drain trap or sewer line pipe that carries waste away from the premises;

a curbed coupling zone formed at a top of the housing where the housing is connectable to a drain pipe; and

air holes formed in the trap zone near a top of the housing.

7 . The animal reverser device of claim 6 , wherein the housing is shaped like a sphere.

8 . The animal reverser device of claim 6 , wherein the housing is shaped like a tapered horn.

9 . The animal reverser device of claim 6 , wherein the curbed coupling zone is adapted to prevent animals from biting the edge of tubing leading into the housing.

10 . An animal reverser device, comprising:

a housing containing a trap zone adapted to prevent animals from entering a premises via sewer-related tubing;

a curbed coupling zone formed at a top of the housing; and

a second tubular connection integrated with a bottom of the housing, the second tubular connection protruding downward from the housing to a third end adapted for connection to an existing drain trap or sewer line pipe that carries waste away from the premises, wherein the curbed coupling zone is adapted to prevent animals from biting the edge of tubing leading into the housing.

11 . The animal reverser device of claim 10 , wherein the housing is shaped like a sphere.

12 . The animal reverser device of claim 10 , wherein the housing is shaped like a tapered horn.

13 . The animal reverser device of claim 10 , further comprising air holes formed in the trap zone near a top of the housing.

14 . The animal reverser device of claim 10 , further comprising air holes formed in the trap zone near a top of the housing.

15 . The animal reverser device of claim 14 , further comprising air holes formed in the trap zone near a top of the housing.

16 . The animal reverser device of claim 10 , further comprising a curbed coupling zone formed at a top of the housing where the housing is connectable to the existing drain trap or the sewer line pipe.

17 . The animal reverser device of claim 16 , wherein the curbed coupling zone is adapted to prevent animals from biting the edge of tubing leading into the housing.
