Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically deterring pest with a light projection on the ground that is perceived as a predator by pests such as birds, which triggers a fear reaction from the birds to leave the area. The apparatus is designed to project a large beam of more than 60 mm diameter in visible light with sufficient power to be seen during daylight. The apparatus is adapted to pan and tilt continuously and randomly within specified limits that are programmed to project the beam in various areas and protect the areas from birds. The apparatus relies on a robotic arm or orientable support mounted on a frame that can be displaced or repositioned easily thanks to a forklift. Methods for activating and controlling the apparatus are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for automatically deterring pest with a light beam comprising:\n a frame base having a compartment, the compartment comprising:\n at least one power supply; \n a processor connected to the at least one power supply; and \n a memory connected to the processor; \n an orientable support mounted on the frame base, the orientable support being configured to rotate about a vertical axis and a longitudinal axis; a tower head mounted on the orientable support, the tower head having a housing, the housing comprising:\n a lighting controller connected to the processor and to the at least one power supply; a lighting source connected to the lighting controller; and a lens system aligned with the lighting source, the lens system having a plurality of lenses; \n wherein:\n the lighting source is configured to generate the light beam through the plurality of lenses of the lens system; and \n the processor is configured to:\n control the rotation of the orientable support about the vertical axis and the longitudinal axis via execution of instructions stored in the memory for orientating the light beam.
