Description

Foldable fly catcher.

Fly catchers are attached to the ceiling and leave a hole and often an unsightly adhesive stain; they are also difficult to handle. In addition, the appearance does not meet any aesthetic requirements. As a result, fly catchers are no longer used in living areas and environmentally harmful poisons and sprays are preferred.

Nevertheless, they are an environmentally friendly way to counteract the nuisance of insects and flies within a room.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1 of a folding cardboard that can be set up and folded up and that serves as a carrier for the adhesive surfaces that attract insects.

The invention ensures that insects are attracted and stick as usual. The adhesive material (1) is applied to preferably two of three folding surfaces (2).

When folded or in the state offered for sale (Fig. 1), the adhesive surfaces are located inside the folding prism so that they cannot stick together.

When unfolded or set up for catching (Fig. 2), the adhesive surfaces were simply brought outwards by folding them in opposite directions, folded again into a prism and secured with the tabs (3) and notches (4).

Once the foldable fly catcher has done its job, it can be folded flat with the adhesive surface facing inwards and disposed of.

Tabs and cuts according to protection claim 2 enable a stable installation.

Due to an approximately thumb-width edge (5) according to claim 3 around the adhesive surfaces, the fly catcher is clean and easy to handle during installation and disposal.

An extended embodiment is set out in claim 4. In this, additional folding surfaces (6) create the possibility of concealing the unsightly adhesive surface (Fig. 7).

Embodiments of the invention are illustrated by Figures 1 to 7.

Show it:

Fig. 1 folded fly catcher according to claims 1, 2 and 3, or one offered for sale, still sealed in a preferably transparent sales film

Fig. 2 unfolded fly catcher or fly catcher set up for catching according to claims 1, 2 and 3

Fig.4 Template or overall view of the fly catcher according to claim 4

Fig.5 Section of the fly catcher in the still packaged state according to claim 4

Fig. 6 View of the fly catcher offered for sale and still packaged according to claim 4

Fig. 7 View of the fly catcher in the unpacked and assembled state according to claim 4.

Since a one-piece adhesive surface can become stressed over the bend when it is set up, it may be necessary to make it slightly larger and package it as shown in the example in Figure 5.
