DE1107444B - Strike bar trap without over bar - Google Patents

Description

The most common striker latches have a so-called over bracket or retaining bracket. This Retaining bracket is hinged to the end of the trap base plate and occurs under a catch hook that the articulated bait carrier sits in the base plate. The joint of the bait carrier is present the axis of the striking bracket, so that this over bracket the striking bracket in the tensioned position holds.

In these traps it has already been proposed to save a special hinge axis of the bait carrier and the bait carrier as an independent part without performing any special assembly steps and without the provision of additional items in the also independently finished base plate in easy way to store. So you have the hinge tabs of the bait carrier for this purpose only inserted into the base plate and the insertion slot through a recess in the base plate is formed, so dimensioned that the bait carrier when it is inserted behind a fall out preventing edge of the slot occurs. The bait carrier snaps in like a clip into the slot. This training is particularly suitable for traps that come from a Plastic mass are made because this plastic mass due to its limited elasticity Clipping in easily allows.

Despite this simple storage of the bait carrier in the base plate, after it has been clipped in an unintentional release of this bait carrier does not exist.

However, traps are already known that are not equipped with an over-bar, but in which the striker itself is captured by the catch hook. The bait carrier is with these traps a tail-like extension extending approximately to the end of the base plate the free end of which is hinged to the base plate of the catch hook for the strike bar.

The invention now extends to the latter cases and consists in these too Traps to achieve the same simple storage of the bait carrier by also using the traps The bait carrier only needs to be clipped into a slot in the base plate.

According to the invention this is achieved in that the outer apex edge of an angular, on the underside of the extension attaching hinge tab when it is inserted into one of the Insert slot located on the base plate, which is narrower than the free angle leg of the hinge tab Snap bar latch without over-bar

is wide, resiliently like a clip over the edges of the insertion slot occurs.

To clip in, d. H. the snapping of the crown of the angular hinge tab To facilitate on the Einsteckschlitzkanten without running the risk that despite this simplification an unintentional loosening of the bait carrier occurs, according to the innovation, the outer crown edge of the Hinge lobes studded with warts.

So that such a bait carrier, which runs under the hinge axis of the striking bracket, can swing out a long way can, according to the invention, the bait carrier with its tail-like extension through a bridge connected, which forms an indentation.

The subject of the invention is shown in the drawing in an exemplary embodiment, namely shows

Fig. 1 is a top view of the trap on a natural scale,

Fig. 2 a section along the line AB in Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 shows the same section as Fig. 2, but with the striker clamped,

Fig. 4 is a section along the line CD of Fig. 1, but on a significantly enlarged scale and schematically,

Fig. 5 shows the same section as Fig. 4, but with the striker cocked and in dash-dotted lines Lines at the start of setting the bait carrier tail into its storage.

On the hollowed-out base plate 1, the striking bracket 2 can be rotated about its axis 3 in the usual manner attached. He is under the action of the spring 4. In this base plate 1, the bait carrier 5 is with its tail-like extension 6 stored, namely extend bait carrier 5 and extension 6 approximately from one edge 7 of the base plate 1 to the other edge 8, so that only a narrow one Frame piece 9 or 10 from the base plate 1

stop; between these frame pieces 9 and 10, the base plate 1 for storing the bait carrier 5 together with its extension 6 is excluded. Bait carrier 5 and extension 6 consist of one piece. They are connected to one another by a bridge 11, so that a bulge 12 is formed and there is sufficient play χ .

The extension 6 is now provided with a catch hook 13, which in the present case in the form of a Cap is formed and consists of one piece with the extension 6.

The tensioned striking bracket 2 lies under this hook (see Fig. 3).

While the catch hook 13 is on the upper side of the extension 6, it sits approximately on the same Place an angled hinge tab 14 on the underside of the extension 6. This angle has the apex edge 15, which is slightly rounded and additionally distributed warts along its length at a distance 16 owns; two such warts, which are also designed in the form of short ribs, are sufficient can.

The leg 17 of the hinge tab 14 is wider than the slot 18 which is located in the base plate 1 and into which the hinge tab 14 is inserted when the extension 6 is inclined (see dash-dotted lines Position in Fig. 5). The insertion slot 18 has the lower edges 19 and 20 and the upper ones Edges 21 and 22. The edge 20 jumps back slightly with respect to the edge 22, so that the insertion is relieved.

Starting from the dot-dash position according to Fig. 5, if you press the The hinge tab 14 is pushed down into the insertion slot 18 over the edge 21, in that this edge 21 resiliently withdraws and afterwards the leg 17 pushes itself under the edge 20. When the hinge tab 14 is pressed in further, the protrusion 16 then slides over the side surface 23 of the insertion slot 18 and, after the pushing-in is complete, jumps over the edge 19 of the insertion slot 18. This snap-like or clip-like effect is favored above all by that the side surface 23 of the insertion slot 18 is formed by a web 24 made of plastic which is attached under the base plate 1. This insertion is also favored by the fact that the Side wall 25 of the slot can move somewhat because it is also made of plastic.

Of course, it is also possible to use other materials than plastic. It just depends that the material used is capable of a resiliently elastic evasive movement during insertion of the hinge flap.

When assembling the trap according to the invention, of course, the bait carrier 5 and the extension 6 must first be clipped into its storage, then the striking bracket 2 with its spring 4 on the base plate 1 can be attached. The trap is, starting from Fig. 1 or 2, tensioned in such a way that the Striker 2 is locked under the catch hook 13. As a result, the bait carrier 5 is raised (see Fig. 3). The angle leg 17 lies against the side wall 25 supporting extension and the Lug 16 against the edge 19 of the web 24.

If an animal now touches the bait carrier 5, the strike bar 2 is triggered, flips over and catches the animal.
