Title: Insect Catching^

Description ■

My invention is an insect catcher with ^which various insects such as flies, spiders, wasps, etc. can be caught and then released again in three steps.

The insect catcher consists of a �Pgr;-riff (1A) to which there is a plug connection (1B).

This connects the Iriff to the punch (1D) via the plug-in part (1C).

The body is made of grid-shaped plastic (1&Xgr;) and is open on the underside with the exception of a length of approx. 3 cm towards the end of the handle.

At this point (1F) the body has a floor.

Now the insect catcher is placed with the bottom of the body open over the insect - e.g. on a wall.

A slider (iCr)> that is guided on a narrow slot (1H) is used to operate a comb that has synthetic fibers that reach to the bottom of the body, similar to the hairs of a brush ()

The plastic fibers are arranged in bundles (3B) and are spaced so closely that no insect can escape through them. "

On the other hand, the elasticity of the synthetic fibers ensures that even smaller insects can be pushed into the closed body with the comb without being injured.

When the insect has been caught with the body, it is pushed by the operation of the slider from 2A to 2B with the comb into the space now closed by the comb hairs, since the body has a bottom from 2B to 2G.

Once outside, the slider is then pushed back from 2B to 2A and the insect is released.

Explanations of the technical design

The body is therefore made of a grid-shaped, sieve-like plastic so that it has a high degree of transparency (iE).

This allows the insect, e.g. a fly, to

You will not notice the insect coming into contact as quickly as you ^would with a closed, full-coloured one and the probability of catching the insect is greater.

In addition, when the insect catcher is put on, the air can escape through the body, so that only a slight draft of air is created, which could, for example, warn and scare away a mosquito.

For the body made of grid-shaped plastic, you can use a transparent or white plastic material.

■It is true that the body is as visually inconspicuous as possible, so ideally it is made of transparent plastic.

The slit on the body (1H) is so narrow (approx. 3-4 mm) that no insect can escape through it, or at least the probability is very low.

A straight and even guidance of the comb with the slider is achieved by the fact that the body has a rail on each of the long sides inside (2D) over which the comb is guided.

The comb cannot be turned sideways either because the comb neck (3G), which runs through the slot (1H), is rectangular and is guided through the slot with its long sides.

Shaking of the comb forwards and backwards is reduced by the fact that between the comb neck (30) and the slider (3D) there is a round disc (3&Xgr;) approx. 2-3 mm high, which runs together with the slider on the slot above the body.

The low weight of the comb and the rail guide also ensure that the comb can be moved effortlessly, but on the other hand it sits so firmly that it does not slip on its own.

So if the slider is in the starting position 2A before catching the insect, it will remain in this position, if, for example, you place the insect catcher vertically on the wall.

The attachable handle, which is inserted with its plug connection (1B) into the plug-in part (10) fixed to the body, may require less space when packaging the insect catcher.

Claims (6)

Protective clothing 1. Transparent, grid-like plastic body which is characterized by the fact that it is open on the underside, with the exception of an approx. 3 cm long longitudinal piece towards the end of the handle which also has a base. 2. Inside the body is a comb, which is characterized by having synthetic fibers that reach to the bottom of the body, similar to brush hairs. These hairs are arranged so densely that no insect can escape through them, but on the other hand they are so elastic that the insect can be effortlessly "brushed" into the closed part of the body without being injured. 3. The comb is operated via a slider above the body and a closed space is only created within the body when the comb is guided to the part of the body where the body also has a floor. 4. The comb is guided along a rail on each of the long sides of the body and cannot move sideways either because the comb neck, which . Slider connects to the comb, is rectangular and runs with its long sides through the slot above the body. This guide means that the comb sits so firmly that it does not slip on its own, because the comb is made of plastic material and is light, but on the other hand it can be moved effortlessly using the slider. 5. Additional stability of the comb guide can be achieved by a disc, which is characterized by the fact that it connects to the comb neck and runs above the body. The slider, which is attached to this disc, cannot move forwards and backwards. 6. There is a plastic handle on the body that serves as a grip and can be removed via a plug connection in order to reduce the packaging size if necessary. The handle can also be firmly attached to the body, namely when the packaging size is irrelevant because the article is to be sold loose to the end consumer.
