Description of the patent application and utility model auxiliary application referred to in the application to the "German Patent Office"

Ii Istern jay & squirrel trap.

The use extends to china, hunting and bird protection ο

The invention relates to a trap which magpies catches jays and squirrels in such a way that immediate death occurs and thus animal cruelty is excluded _{or the like}

It is known that human intervention has made our birds of prey, especially the peregrine falcon, hawk and sparrowhawk, so rare that they are no longer of any importance as regulators in nature. As a result, magpies, jays and squirrels, which are known as large nest predators, have multiplied to such an extent that they have become a serious danger for our songbird populations _o Countless eggs and young birds fall victim to their systematic search _a But economic damage also occurs as a result that fowl like Z ₀ B ₀ partridge and pheasant clutches fall victim to their voraciousness,

LI has tried to get rid of this plague with large catching cages. Here it is necessary to have a jay available as a decoy (where to get it from) and, in addition, constant control is necessary to prevent the tortured perishing of the caught birds. In addition, the catches also have to be killed (v / he likes to do that ¹ ), and then these traps can only be set up stationary because of their size (several cubic meters). In spite of everything, a resounding success has so far failed to materialize

The patent-pending i'alle is based on the task of to decimate the mentioned harmful birds in a simple way, too it can be flexible anywhere because of its size (2o χ 2o χ 15 cm) to be used »

Due to the excessive caution that characterizes these nest robbers, it was necessary to develop a trap that was as inconspicuous as possible. "In addition, the suitable bait had to be found." In years of experiments and observation, I found that both the Elster and the married jay were incapable of doing this were artificial eggs and young birds indistinguishable from natural, if they were only color reproduced faithfully _o All were these issues · resolved satisfactorily, and the successes have all confirmed the bait (a and Toj \ are once modeled plastic eggs for Jang the magpie, on the other hand plastic-made young birds to catch the jay. Both can be attached to the trap as required «, a walnut to catch the squirrel or a piece of corn on the cob, which the jay also gladly accepts, can also be _{attached 0} The trap body (c / yrcs "is made of wood ₀ with the help of a belt or a binding wire s and the two brackets (d), the trap can be attached to any vertical trunk or branch, _etc.

The technical progress in the application of this trap construction consists in the fact that this is the only safe way so far - of course, when used by foresters, those authorized to hunt and bird conservationists - to reduce these nest robbers to a tolerable level.

The bracket (e), which receives its tension from the two springs (f ) (Akfo / iun <iL \) , is tensioned and held in place by the bracket (g). Then a triple bait (a or b) - depending on what is caught should be put on the trigger (h) and the whole thing covered with dry grass in such a way that a bird's nest is simulated, "The trap is ready to be caught o With a beak on the bait, the bracket in (g) is released and snaps down" by this shock the bird or _o the squirrel between the bracket (s) and the case frame (i) immediately killed

The patent claim is raised on the one designed by me and Tried and tested trap, the bait reproduced as a decisive novelty in plastic or other materials contains 2a by modification the trap can also be caught live, this should be included in the patenting as an alternative
