Bird control arrangement

Abstract

An anti-bird assembly for the prevention of landing of birds on the ledge of a building comprising a plurality of spaced apart brackets. Each bracket comprises a base flange for attachment of the assembly to a building. A frame portion is connected to the base flange, and an arrangement of arms are connected to the frame portion, each of the arms having a distal end with a wire attachment node thereon. A wire is arranged between corresponding wire attachment nodes of corresponding arms on adjacent spaced apart brackets to effect prevention of birds landing between spaced apart brackets on the building.

1 . An anti-bird assembly for the prevention of landing of birds on the ledge of a building comprising a plurality of spaced apart brackets, each bracket comprising: 
 a base flange for attachment of said assembly to a building;    a frame portion connected to said base flange; and    an arrangement of arms connected to said frame portion, each of said arms having a distal end with a wire attachment node thereon; and    a wire arranged between corresponding wire attachment nodes of corresponding arms on adjacent spaced apart brackets.    
     
     
         2 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said arms include a first arm, a second arm and a middle arm.  
     
     
         3 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said first arm, said second arm and said middle arm each have a longitudinal axis, said longitudinal axis of first arm and said second arm having a spaced apart angle range of about 90 to 120 degrees between one another.  
     
     
         4 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said longitudinal axis of first arm and said second arm are spaced apart by an angle of about 90 degrees.  
     
     
         5 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said wire attachment node of said middle arm is spaced a vertical distance away from said base flange of about ½ to 1 inch further apart from said wire attachment node of said first arm.  
     
     
         6 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said wire attachment node of said middle arm is spaced a horizontal distance away from said wire attachment node of said first arm by a distance of about 2 and ½ inches to 3 inches.  
     
     
         7 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said base flange has at least two spaced apart openings therein, said spaced apart openings being in perpendicular alignment with said frame portion.  
     
     
         8 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said brackets has an arm with a spring secured to said wire connected to an arm thereof.  
     
     
         9 . The anti-bird assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said base flange has a triangular array of securement openings therein to optimize the attachment options of said assembly to a building while still maintaining simplicity and building integrity.
