Abstract

Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim.

Taking advantage of the territorial instinct of rats and mice, a cage will be arranged, will be divided into Three compartments One (A) for the claim, this compartment It will be provided with water (1) and food (2). One of capture (B), of entrance (3), a folding platform (4) that will act on the communication mechanism (5) with the storage compartment (C), a storage compartment (C) of captured parts, which It will be provided with water (1) and food (2).

Practical operation: The rodent attracted by the claim will enter the cage, stepping on the platform will communicate the entrance with storage compartment and at its entrance to this place will rearm the mechanism for the next capture.

Description

Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim.

The present invention relates to the method of rodent capture, taking advantage of the territorial instinct of which They are gifted, mainly rats and mice. Proposing a capture of animals, totally ecological and without produce stress in captured animals.

Background of the invention

The different forms of elimination of pests of mice and rats that have come using so far:

Poisoning, through different forms of acting, more or less energetic, but always with the same problems. Distribution of corpses everywhere in case of effectiveness. Spread of venom dragged by animals to Your refuge sites. Both poison and animal remains poisoned can happen to poison other animals, domestic or wild. Poisons always end up being identified by rodents, losing their effectiveness shortly after their use.

Capture traps with death, being their Very limited effectiveness, given the appearance of pests, with great number of animals in the family unit, somehow they convey to the group the danger of the trap and quickly lose their  effectiveness.

Live capture traps, current traps they only have the capture mechanism and located in communication Direct catch accumulation department, in the case of multiple capture devices. In these cases it has been demonstrated that capture in large pests is limited to very few specimens and that lose their effectiveness before continued use in the same place,  without managing to exterminate the plague.

Description of the invention

As we have previously noted the basis of new rodent capture method is to take advantage of the strong territorial instinct that rodents are endowed with, mainly rats and mice.

For the practical execution of the capture method a cage of bite resistant material will be available of rats and mice, it will be divided into three compartments. One to contain the claim, naturally it will be a live animal, of the same species to be caught and that come from a remote area that we are going to capture, This compartment will be provided with water and food for the animal. One of capture, having an entrance hole and existing a foldable platform on the ground that when stepped on by the animal will act on the communication mechanism with the compartment of storage. A communication system of the compartment of capture with storage, this duct will start from it entrance hole to the capture compartment by ascending to the animal with a 90º turn and then with another 90º turn it will cover a horizontal section, which is balanced and that, by the weight of the animal it will lower, when the balance point is overcome, the tilt of this channel causes the animal to slide and finish falling to the warehouse, this movement is used to rearm the capture device, since this channel is attached to the vertical of the way it is explained in the Description of the drawings, by ascending this until it is locked by the spring of capture. The entrance to the warehouse will be protected by a system non-return, which will not allow the animal to travel in the direction contrary to arrival. (These two 90º turns and both routes, vertical and horizontal, along with the descent of the channel horizontal, in the passage through the last section, together with nervousness of the animal and the bewilderment, which produces the attempt to escape for the same place he had entered a few seconds before, he produces, by the experiences of the tests carried out, a state of inability to transmit to the rest of the family, of the existence of the danger, and the catches continue until total extermination of the group, which is held in the warehouse of catches) This animal storage compartment captured, which, as mentioned above, will be endowed with water and food for maintaining them in good condition nutrition and hydration; the sizing of all compartments will be based on the size of the animal to capture and the number of foreseeable catches, the provision of food and water will go also in line with the previous data, providing a generous dosage so you can never miss the water or the food.

Practical operation; we will place an animal that has been captured far from the point where we are going to install the cage, in the claim compartment, we will previously have filled the water tank and the food hopper, both in the Claim compartment as in the warehouse. We will place the cage within the territory we intend to hunt. The device of capture will be in the communication position of the entry hole With the capture compartment. The animals in the zone will immediately detect the presence of the intruder and will launch to defend the territory, the only way to approach the intruder It is the entrance through the capture hole, once the animal enters and approaches the claim the collapsible floor system acts on the capture spring, which will close the entrance and communicate the escape to the warehouse, as we have indicated previously, the own animal in its route and by its own weight, will rearm the capture mechanism, communicating the input with the device capture, leaving the trap ready for the next capture.

Utilities:

First: Elimination of rodent pests, by areas of family territorial domain, capturing all of the specimens that make up the family group.

Second: Being live captures, without physical or psychological damage to animals these are suitable for its application as pets, feeding raptors and animals wild captive or veterinary recovery, falconry, medicine etc.

Complaint for the claim

B.-

Capture compartment

C.-

Warehouse compartment

one.-

Water tank, with drinking fountains for the claim and the catch

2.-

Deposit for food, has hopper feeder for the claim and the catches.

3.-

Entrance hole to the compartment catches

4.-

Folding platform with counterweight and articulation to operate the mechanism spring (5).

5.-

Mechanism of transition to the warehouse, the tube (5) is move vertically, sliding on the cross (3), entrance to the cage, and the socket located at the other end, integral to the ceiling of the cage (In this socket the closure is located non-return)

6.-

Steel cable that allows rotation and displacement horizontal of the last section of the channel to the warehouse.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The trap can be built in any material resistant to rat bites, steel, fabric heavy duty metal, sheet steel or other metal, PVC, depending of the strength of the material, a structure may be necessary bearing or case more resistant materials, the mechanism without the need of the aforementioned structure.

For the realization of the field tests We have built several units with a tube structure of 14 x 14 mm square steel. for soils and separations that they needed to hide the animals 3 steel sheet has been used mm and for the execution of the diversion channel to the warehouse, it has been used PVC pipe of DN 50 mm and accessories of this material and dimensions for vertical motion bushings. The rest of enclosures have been made with a resistant metallic fabric and with Mesh thick enough to not allow the escape of animals.

Claims (5)

1. Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim, which uses a mechanism consisting of three compartments: one to contain the claim, one to capture and one of warehouse. 2. Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim, in which the captured animal, acting on its own weight, activates the mechanism that closes the entrance and communicates this with the store. 3. Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim, where the conduit from the capture compartment to the warehouse, is done with two 90º turns, one in route vertical, and another in horizontal path in which a duct depletion in the direction of travel and the fall of the Animal to the store. 4. Rodent capture method and mechanism with claim, with a non-return closure, which does not allow the return of the animal in the opposite direction to the entrance to the warehouse. 5.
