Description

Ecological flycatcher

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a flycatcher, that is to say a device intended for catching flies or other insects harmful to fruit and vegetable crops, of type of those who use an attractive liquid product for such insects and lethal to them, whose ecological character comes determined by a selection in the catches, so that these affect only those insects harmful to the crop, such as the fruit fly, not affecting other insects such as bees, mosquitoes, etc., which are beneficial and necessary in nature since they help the pollination, and feed on other insects harmful to plants like aphids, etc.

The flycatcher of the invention is especially suitable for use in fruit tree crops that They are attacked by flies that damage the fruit.

Background of the invention

In the preferred field practical application of the invention there are different types of fight against insects, ranging from the application of insecticide products on own plants or trees, with the consequent damage to them and risk of small-scale poisoning for the consumer, up to the use of traps that catch flies or insects and eliminate, but without physical contact between Insecticide products and plants.

These traps are known since time immemorial and are generally constituted by a container practicable that houses inside an attractive product for flies, but carrier in addition to an insecticide capable of killing them, said container having at least easy access for flies, which is the only way out but difficult location.

There are many designs for this type of devices, including the utility model U 9100726, in which the container incorporates in its bottom a neck cylindrical that rises substantially inside constituting access for insects inside, since the body is closure using a top cover that can only be used during assembly and filling of the device. This solution is effective but has been improved by other devices where they are established also side windows in the body that allow circulation of air inside the device, with greater and better output to the outside the effluvium of the attractant product, so that they are these windows are used by insects to access the interior of the device, to die due to the insecticide.

The effectiveness of these devices with means of air circulation inside it is significantly greater than the of the devices provided with a single opening, but both in one as in another case an important problem is established and which consists of entrapment and elimination indiscriminate insects, so that in addition to, for example, the fruit fly, which is the one that is intended to be eliminated, in the trap other insects such as bees, wasps, mosquitoes also fall, etc, which as stated above are essential in the nature because they help pollination of plants and they feed on other insects harmful to them such as cited aphids.

Description of the invention

The object of the invention is to achieve a flycatcher with selective capture capacity, so that being fully effective against the insect that is intended eliminate, does not allow access to its interior from all those others larger insects that are intended to be preserved, due to their effects beneficial.

To do this, more specifically and from the basic structuring of a conventional flycatcher of the type of that incorporate means capable of generating a stream of air at through them that improves the diffusion of the attractive product, said flycatcher focuses its characteristics on the fact that its window or its side windows through which the effluviums and through which insects have to access their inside, they are equipped with a properly calibrated grid to allow passage through insects exclusively of the size smaller than the preset, thus allowing the passage of, for example the passage of the fruit fly, but preventing the passage to bees, mosquito wasps, etc.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that the lower cylindrical neck of body of the flycatcher, by which the aforementioned is established air flow inside, also incorporates a grill that prevent the passage of larger insects before described.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the container or base body that participates in the ecological flycatcher object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows, also according to a view in perspective, the complementary cover.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, and also according to a perspective view, the elements of the figures previous properly mounted.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the ecological flycatcher that the invention proposes is constituted, as is conventional, from a container body (1), which can adopt the inverted truncated conical configuration of the figures or any other deemed convenient, whose opening is closed by a cover (2) that facilitates body filling operations (1) with the insecticide product and attractant for insects, and preferably counting the aforementioned body (1) with an axial and inner neck (3) emerging from its bottom,  which facilitates the entry of air into its interior, establishing a current in which the air penetrates the flycatcher through the hole (4) defined by said neck (3), and goes outside by side windows (5) of the body (1), windows that in turn they constitute the zones of access of the insects inside the flycatcher.

Well, according to the invention, each one of these windows (5), in the practical embodiment example of the figures are represented in number of four, but whose number may vary, without affecting the essence of the invention, they are fragmented by a grid (6), so that despite these windows have an important amplitude, to facilitate air circulation, the steps defined by the grid (6) are small enough so that through they can only pass the insects that are intended to be eliminated, such as the repeatedly cited fruit flies.

It is also planned to incorporate a grid (6 ') in the hole (4) of the neck (3) in order to prevent entry of larger insects like those mentioned above, which it can materialize in a piece as a plug or be part of Coaxial neck itself as a single piece element.

It only remains to note finally that, to facilitate the coupling of the cover (2) to the body (1) and to improve the fixing conditions between these elements, it is expected that the cover (2) has a series of tabs (7) in its mouth, interior and equiangularly distributed, capable of coupling to the mouth of the body (1) through recesses (8) of this last, so that after its axial coupling and a small turn relative between cover and body, these elements are solidly secured to each other, allowing suspension of the hanged flycatcher of the lid.

Claims (3)

1. Ecological flycatcher, of the type of those constituted by a container body of an insecticidal and attractive product for insects, which is closed with a practicable character by means of a lid, which incorporates a coaxial and ascending neck at the bottom of its body as functions air inlet assembly, and in whose side wall windows for air outlet are established by dragging effluviums of the attractive product for insects, as well as entrances for them, characterized in that each of said windows is provided with a grid that, without impairment of the aeration surface, allows the passage of small-sized insects such as fruit flies, preventing the passage of other insects such as bees, wasps, crisopas, mosquitoes and the like, beneficial for pollination and elimination of aphids and other insects. 2. Ecological flycatcher, according to claim 1, characterized in that said coaxial and ascending neck in functions of air intake assembly incorporates a grid, similar to that arranged in the windows of the body, which can be embodied in a piece as a plug or Be part of your own coaxial neck as a single piece element. 3. Ecological flycatcher, according to claim 1, characterized in that the lid has in its mouth with inner flanges capable of engaging through respective recesses to the mouth of the body, for fixing between both elements by a slight relative rotation between them.
