DE461174C - Queen breeding and fertilization box that can be pushed into a protective box - Google Patents

Description

The subject of the invention is a queen breeding system that can be pushed into a protective box. and fertilization box. Compared to the already known boxes of this type the novelty is that a locking slide is attached in front of the access hole of the insert box protrudes outside the protective box as a result of the action of a spring over the lower edge of the insert box, while in the pushed-in state of the locking slide as a result of touching down of the above Part pushed up to the bottom of the protective box against the action of the spring will. This ensures that no bees fly in or out during the tour when they are raised can.

In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is shown, for example, and although show:

Fig. Ι the outline of an entire breeding and fertilization box,

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the breeding and fertilization box, with the The breeding box is in the raised position,

Fig. 3 the breeding box lock in view and section,

Fig. 4 the automatic lock at the entrance hole of the protective box.

The entire breeding and fertilization box consists of a protective box 1, which expediently in a known manner in its center a cavity for compensation which contains temperature differences. This protective box is closed by a lid, which, on hinge straps. attached, is set up to unfold. The entire box is divided into three sub-rooms by two partitions, one of which the two outer ones each contain two or more breeding boxes 3. The one in between The remaining main room can be divided into the brood and honey room in a known manner by means of barriers.

The breeding boxes 3 are designed to be removed. They are raised specially attached wire eyelets or leather loops, whereby the ones in box 3 Close the passage openings 5 to the flight holes 6 by means of a slide. This closure (Fig. 3) consists of a thin metal slide 7, which · with his both legs 8 on the floor 2 (Fig. 2). The slide has a guide on the side in two angle rails 9 (Fig. 3). A two-armed leg spring 10 is attached over the slide 7, which with its two pressure legs in the punched-out lugs 11 of the slide 7 rests. As soon one lifts the breeding box 5, the pressure of the bottom 2 on the legs 8 of the slide 7 is released, the compressed Leg spring 10 presses the slide 7 downwards and thereby closes the through opening 5.

The breeding box 3 consists mainly of a wooden frame, which is in

the one lower corner has the already mentioned passage 5 to the entrance hole 6. the Long sides of the grow box are formed by two panes of glass 12 and 13 which 12, running in grooves, can be pulled out upwards. This has the advantage that the pane of glass does not require a special wooden frame, which on the one hand makes a Cheaper production and, on the other hand, a larger overview of the grow room is brought about into it. This even makes it possible to remove the space between the honeycomb frames and to overlook the breeding box side, which was always covered by the wooden frame in previously known constructions. Within the grow box 3, the honeycomb space 15 rests on two support blocks 14.

The protective box 1 has flight holes opening into the through openings 5 at its passage openings 6 also has an automatic lock 16, which by inserting the Breeding box 3 is depressed and, after it has been lifted, by a flat spring 17 is lifted up and the entrance hole 6 closes. This is after removal of the breeding box prevented another entry of the bees. This achieves that no bees are crushed when the breeding box is replaced. However, this facility is not part of it the invention protected here.

Claims (1)

Claim: Queen breeding and fertilization box that can be pushed into a protective box, characterized in that a locking slide mounted in front of the entrance hole (5) of the insert box (3) (7) outside the protective box (1) due to the action of a spring (10) over the lower edge of the Insert box (3) protrudes while in the pushed-in state of the locking slide (7) as a result of placing the protruding part (8) of the slide on the floor (2) of the protective box (1) against the action of the spring (10) is pushed up.
