Description

Flytrap device

Object of the invention

The present invention as expressed by set forth in this specification, it consists of a device flytrap to which they come attracted by a bait being imprisoned and no possibility of escape.

It is an object of the invention to present a fully ecological, highly effective flytrap device Very hygienic and always working at full capacity.

Background of the invention

A multitude of systems are currently known to hunt flies or other insects, based on adhesive strips where insects are also attracted to a bait that impregnate the strip or tape. With this system it is necessary to replace periodically the strips for optimum performance.

Other systems are based on producing electric shocks that kill insects that access inside  of the electrical appliance.

All of them are not pleasant to look at and in the case of the electrical ones they inevitably occur sizzles and bad smells.

Description of the invention

In general, the flytrap device  object of the invention, achieves the advantages recommended by catch flies or other insects that come to a bait that always is in constant motion assisted by an engine, so that the insects there do not realize that they are entering a area from which they will not be able to leave, passing them unnoticed Rotating movement since it is slow.

To achieve this, the flytrap device  it is constituted by an opaque housing in which it is located less a rotating element materialized by a base prism preferably square, which is powered by the corresponding electric gearmotor, thus rotating smoothly and slowly. On each of the faces of the prism or element rotating the bait defined by a solution is arranged of sugar or other attractive product for insects and that impregnate sheets arranged on each of the faces of the rotating prism

The prism or rotating prisms are arranged horizontally advantageously and only offered abroad a longitudinal zone of access for insects, while the rest looks inside the housing. The edges Longitudinal of the rotating prism are entering successively during the turn, in contact with an upper arcuate surface transparent and concentric to the axis of rotation, this being also Detachable to allow it to stay clean. Other surface arched bottom, in this case opaque and formed as the own wall of this area of the housing, belongs to the same surface cylindrical than the transparent top sheet and therefore about she also contacts the longitudinal edges of the prism during the slow turn of it.

With this arrangement some cameras are formed between the prism faces and the arched transparent sheet, which they are closed successively during the turn and in which the flies that had perched are trapped without the possibility of recoil, thus being forced to pass inside the housing that by being opaque determines a dark chamber in which there is one or more embrasures on the top. Being connected with the exterior determine luminous points to which the insects attracted to the light, believing they go outside but they are located in a transparent tank that they cannot leave, this tank being removable to optimize cleaning periodic as we will see later.

The aforementioned embrasures of insects are covered by respective configuration grilles preferably hemispherical, provided with a polar hole for exit of insects inside the transparent tank.

It is also planned that the deposit has its base provided with other hollow bulges whose surface is also a grid with a polar hole, being superimposed with the anterior vaulted grilles so that you can disassemble the tank and do not get the insects out since there is only a small hole in the polar areas.

The deposit can also have inside and  surrounding the vaulted grilles, two truncated conical necks that allow partial filling with water or other product where they go drowning insects, if you wish to kill them in this way.

At the bottom of each of the rotating elements, under the concentric arched surface at axis of rotation, some holes are determined that are occupied by small removable drawers in which they can be stored bait spare parts or other accessories.

The bait is located in respective receiving accommodations that occupy a large central area of each one of the faces of the rotating prism, being also covered with a perforated lid as a grid. It can also be impregnated with a spray of sugar solution or similar, projected on the grilles.

The dark chamber accessed by flies that  they eat the bait, it becomes smaller than that inner space dark formed, when providing a laminar piece lying from side to side and carrier of one or two fins (as many as rotary prisms exist) that articulate and are assisted by a spring to stay applied against the rotating rotating prism, sweeping the flies into the dark chamber as they act as elements scrapers

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention and forming an integral part of this  Descriptive report, are accompanied by some sheets of plans in whose figures, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature represented the following:

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures and especially in relation to figure 1, we can see how the flytrap device proposed by the invention has of an opaque housing (1) in which they are arranged in this case two rotating elements or rotary prisms (2) actuated by respective independent gearmotors (3), rotating in directions Inverse rotation. You can also go a single engine drive and a turning transmission between its axles (4).

The housing (1) is open on the part superior only in the areas where the elements are located rotating (2) so that insects can perch on them. In this exemplary embodiment the rotating elements (2) have prismatic shape of square section and in its constant turn they go entering its four faces (5) in successive confrontation with that open space.

As seen more clearly in Figure 3, the Prism edges (2) are tangent to the arched portions and distant from each other (6) and (7) that are part of the walls of the housing (1). Portion (6) is the upper one and continues concentric curvature with the axis of rotation, on the surface transparent (8) (see figure 2) as a sliding hatch that it is mounted guided in the arched end rails (9) of the housing sides (1).

The bait is defined by a sheet (10) impregnated with honey or other attractive substance for insects, being located in a receiving accommodation (11) that is covered with the protection grid (12).

When rotating rotors or rotating elements (2) in the direction indicated by the arrows, very slowly and continuously, the flies that perch in the uncovered areas attracted by the bait, they do not realize that they are entering under the transparent surface (8) and when the back edge of that face reaches the edge of said transparent surface (8), the camera (13) formed between that face and the surface (8) is closed and already They can't go back. When the front edge ends this Wall portion (6) opens the chamber (13) and goes into space intermediate (14) which is dark and from here towards some luminous points upper defined by embrasures (15) or outlets, covered by a hemispherical grid (16) with a polar hole (17) by the that insects go outside animated by light. What it happens that they are trapped in a warehouse (18) transparent closed by a lid (19).

This tank (18) is disassembled and cleaned periodically with soapy water to eliminate the flies and leave it  perfectly clean and sanitized.

The bottom of the deposit (18) also has some vaulted grilles (20) that overlap with the grilles (16) of the  housing and serve to prevent escape when the deposit (18). Naturally they have another polar hole (21) confronted with the previous one.

It is also planned that circling each hemispherical grid (20) of the tank (18) there is a wall cylindrical or truncated conical (22) as a neck, as is the case shown, of sufficient height so that the tank (18) can contain if desired, a certain amount of water so that they can drown insects if you want to kill them.

The flytrap device can be placed horizontally or vertically and always be placed in a place with lots of light so that the trapped flies quickly enter the deposit (18).

In the extreme areas of the housing, under the prisms or rotating elements (2), there are some holes where They house respective drawers (23) where they can be stored bait spare parts or other accessories or cleaning utensils.

The intermediate space or dark chamber (14) to the that access the captured flies, before leaving through the hole polar (17-21), is advantageously reduced due to the assembly of a sheet piece (24) that closes sideways to side, provided with two fins (25) that articulate in their respective extremes and are assisted by two springs by which they maintain their free edge applied against the rotating prisms (2) in rotation, preventing flies that continue to eat the bait They can go outside. Such fins (25) are elements scrapers that push the flies into the dark chamber that only has exit through the embrasures (15) and specifically through the holes polar (17-21).

In figure 4 a device has been shown  flytrap with a simpler structure since only there is a rotating element (2) mounted equally in a housing referenced in this case with (1 ') which is smaller than the previous one referenced with (1). Your dark inner chamber (14) (not shown), as well as the deposit (18 '), are in this case more Small but the way it works is identical to the previous one. He tank (18 ') may lack the conical wall (22) of the previous embodiment and in addition the base of the deposit can be opaque (in the previous case it could also be) and has both grids (20) hemispherical with holes (21) for direct exit of the flies, adjusting their base in a large window provided in the housing, thus being perfectly adjusted, closing superiorly the dark chamber and allowing to make a better cleaning the interior of the latter when desired.

In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the surface (26) for tank seat (28), which is part of the housing (1) and is the area where the grilles are located (16) semi-spherical, it is advantageously removable and thus remains at view the dark chamber to optimize periodic cleaning by its inside.
