Description

Acting Flying Insect Eliminator Ecological

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a eliminator of flying insects of ecological performance.

Field of the Invention

The acting flying insect eliminator  Ecological of the present invention is suitable for any place, and it is perfectly applicable in shops even if they sell food since the flying insects are stuck on one side of the leaf of the material provided with an adhesive mixture and possibly attractive, and do not jump abroad, it is also applicable in the home.

Background of the invention

Insect eliminators are available in the market ecological performance flyers, which consist of a material flexible sheet in which one of its faces is impregnated with a adhesive mixture and eventually attractant for insects, which they attract flying insects and get stuck to that mixture Until they die There are also devices that incorporate luminous means that also attract insects, and that in their trajectory stumble upon the face provided with the aforementioned mixture of flexible sheet material.

Known models of the type of eliminators of adhesive mixture and eventually attractive, have several inconveniences among those that can be cited, some difficulty in place the flexible sheet material with the adhesive mixture and eventually attractive to flying insects, the nasty extraction of the same after the operation in which they are stuck and dead a lot of insects to the mix impregnated on the face of the sheet material, which offers an appearance unpleasant.

To avoid these inconveniences, related to  unpleasant that it is the user to see the insects stuck and various inventions have been killed to the sheet material where folded flexible sheet material is made, such as paper, cardboard or other, based on previously practicing some folds, so that when folding the paper, the faces with adhesive and the insects stuck and dead in them are superimposed on each other, and  with it, dead insects are not visible.

Among the documents that describe this type of devices with insect hunting paper, the US patent can be cited 395,640 of W&O. THUM U.S. Patent 813,196 by J.H. GOOD superimpose the paper on two halves of the same surface. The U.S. Patents 968,237 by J.N. DEAN and 1,459,711 of A. BANKS fold the paper strip longitudinally and radially.

U.S. Patent 5,634,293 to A. and J. MIKE it comprises two embodiments, one consists of a flat device provided with a transverse slit through which the paper is removed by the smooth face, and the two halves provided with adhesive and dead insects crossing the slit fold one over the another and its folding hides dead insects. Another embodiment of the invention consists of a parallelepiped box that in a base major presents a slit through which the sheet material is extracted  provided with a V-fold in correspondence with the slit of the box, which has holes in the side walls for the entry of insects, attracted by products attractants mixed with the adhesive provided on one of the faces of the sheet material.

GB 2415121 is essentially the same embodiment that the above-mentioned US patent, based on a essentially parallelepipedic housing than on one of the faces older is provided with a transverse slit through which Extract the sheet material with adhesive and insect attractants. In said extraction the sheet material is folded on itself in two halves, in which the attached faces are the ones that are provided with adhesive and attractants and dead insects, with which when extracting said sheet material after its functioning, dead insects are not visible to the Username.

The applicant is the holder of the Patent of Invention No. 200600550 that significantly improves the embodiments cited above, in terms of structure, constitution, operation and maintenance

Summary of the invention

The present invention significantly improves the  provisions cited above, based on one more structure solid and rational, which allows a simpler manipulation of higher performance.

In accordance with the above, the eliminator of flying insects that acts ecologically consists of a shell comprising two independent parts that are coupled for the tilting from one to the other, of which one is fixed and it is subject to one wall and the other is tilting with respect to the fixed, which define a closed enclosure laterally and inferiorly and open superiorly, whose upper opening constitutes the entrance of the flying insects, the fixed piece is constituted by a piece of cross section essentially in L, whose vertical branch constitutes the housing support to the facing by conventional support means, and to which couple the light emitting means based on tubes and / or LEDs and the housing of the electronic circuit and its components, and the clamping and positioning means of flexible sheet material which on the active face is provided with an adhesive mixture and eventually attractant to insects, whose means of attachment and positioning keep the sheet material attached against the inside the housing and located behind the emitting means of light during his performance, and whose other essentially horizontal branch it is slightly inclined inferiorly and is provided with a intermediate longitudinal slit for material extraction flexible laminar after use, which is provided in the active face facing the light emitting means of the mixture adhesive and eventually attractive to flying insects, and in the opposite side presents the extraction means through the slit after his performance, meanwhile the swinging piece occupies the front part of the housing and presents two sections longitudinal and transverse / vertical essentially U, which by the upper ends are coupled to respective means of complementary tilting provided in the fixed parts and tilting, thereby oscillating between a higher position of opening and a lower closing position, in whose position top opening allows maintenance for replenishment flexible sheet material for attraction and death of insects flying, and in the lower closing position is attached to the edge of the inclined branch of the fixed part, and presents means of support and positioning that keep the material in position flexible laminar during its performance, whose fixed parts and tilting are additionally provided with several cartels spaced and faced whose hypotenuse is curved, which support and position the flexible sheet material in combination with the aforementioned clamping and positioning means provided in Fixed and tilting parts.

The light emitting means and the housing of the electronic actuator circuit, are mounted on a plate, of convenient material, general U-configuration of middle portion elongated, which is attached to the fixed part by the ends of the branches of the U. To said U-plate a box is attached parallelepipedic housing the electronic actuator circuit, whose box is devoid of the coupling face to the portion average of the U and is provided with side slits for the LED assembly.

The light emitting means of the tube type is couple using the corresponding supports or tube holders directly to the plate on at least one side of the box, and those of the Leds type are coupled to slits provided on both sides of the box.

The tilting piece occupies the front and essentially the sides of the fixed piece.

The tilting piece occupies the front essentially of the fixed part and extends lower and internally especially in the central area, on the sides it has a plurality of consecutive fins that occupy said lateral.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which two sheets of drawings are accompanied in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.
