BOX FOR BIRD, BIRD AND INSECTS

D E S C R I P C I O N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a nesting box for birds, bats and insects, provided so that in the same device, by virtue of the different compartments provided therein, different types and sizes of birds, bats, as well as insects can nest. of different sizes and species, in order to achieve an equilibrium or ecosystem between birds and insects and to partially alleviate some diseases caused by insect pests, as is traditionally the case in trees such as oaks, cork oaks and pines.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although there are known boxes for nesting birds and insects, usually made of wood and with holes for entry of birds on the one hand and blind holes for nesting insects on the other, however this type of boxes have a common hole or holes For all types of birds, birds such as blue tit, blue tit, common great tit, blue nuthatch, sparrow miller, common sparrow, sparrow, bright sparrow and sometimes common agateador, can enter the box. Known as blue tits, their nests are destroyed by the other birds referred to.

On the other hand, in this type of boxes, and in an independent zone, bats can nest, and in blind holes certain insects can be wasps, spiders, etc.

Now, this type of boxes by virtue of their constitution, not only present the problem of nest destruction by other species, but in relation to the nesting of insects only the nesting of certain types of wasps or spiders is possible, preventing the room of, for example, bees or other pollinating insects.

It is also noteworthy the fact that the conventional boxes, in regard to the compartment for bats, include an intermediate table with notches on its edges for the passage from one side to another of the bats, also counting on its entrance with a kind of external taco platform or heel that facilitates the entry of bats, these can hang from the internal table, with the special feature that by including a single table that divides the cockpit in two areas for bats, these are sometimes they get in the way

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The box that is recommended, based on those of the type previously discussed, that is, materialized in a prismatic or even cylindrical body, with a top cover, has the particularity that a large part of its height is occupied by three compartments, each one of them with an inlet with a different diameter, which can be located on two opposite sides of the box, thereby allowing for example in the compartment with inlet of smaller diameter can enter exclusively birds such as the blue tit or cappuccino, preventing the entry of other larger birds, while in the internal compartment, due to the diameter of the entrance hole, can enter the common saithe, the blue climber and the sparrow miller, but not the rest of birds, such as sparrows, who must access another compartment where the entrance hole will be larger in diameter.

Likewise, it is noteworthy that the upper part of the box, open and in which the corresponding closing lid fits, has holes for insects, with different sizes those of the upper part than those of the lateral ones so that they can be occupied by different species of insects.

As for the compartment for bats, instead of being provided with a common and intermediate table, the box will preferably have two spacers, with holes in them to allow communication between the three chambers that are defined between said spacers in the specific cabin for bats that is defined in the box, which will include a lower entrance hole for the bats and a taco or lower plateau to facilitate the entry of said animals.

In addition, the separators have, like the side walls of the passenger compartment, grooves so that they can climb and hold and be able to hang the bats.

In said lower part of the box, holes for insects have also been provided perimetrally, as well as on the base of the block projecting towards the outside, which forms part of the entrance plate of the bats towards its interior.

The box, preferably made of wood, will have wires or ropes for hanging a hook and means of protection against rodents and ants.

Finally, say that the box, instead of having three holes for the entry of different species of birds, may have two holes for a blue tit one of them and for coal or climbing and sparrow the other, that is, the boxes may be constructed with two or three compartments for different types of bird species.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred embodiment of the same, a set of drawings is included as an integral part of said description. where, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a schematic vertical sectional view of a nesting box for birds, bats and insects made according to the object of the invention.

Figure 2 shows a view on the upper floor of the box of the previous figure without the corresponding cover, seeing the holes for nesting insects and holes for entry of birds.

Figure 3 shows a bottom plan view of the sectioned base of the box, showing the holes for insects, as well as the heel or protruding portion, also with holes for insects, which is part of the entrance plateau of the bats to the inside.

Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a box made according to the object of the invention and suspended from a hook, which in this case has two housings for both types of bird species.

Figure 5 shows, finally, a view according to a perspective section through a vertical plane of the part of the box corresponding to the compartment for bats, seeing the internal spacers of said compartment, the communication between some areas and others, the orifice of entrance and the inferior closing with the external projecting heel with holes for insects.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined can be seen as the box of the invention, generally referenced with (1), and preferably made of wood, can have a prismatic configuration as shown in the figures, or cylindrical, so that in any house, said box includes an upper closing lid (2), as well as some wires or ropes (3) for hanging a hook (40), with anti-rodent elements (41), as well as anti-ants (42). ).

The upper lid (2) closes a compartment (4) under which another compartment (4 ') is provided and under it, optionally a third compartment (4''), so that each compartment (4,4', 4 '') are affected by inlet holes (5,5 ', 5'') of different diameters, in the case of the decreasing figures, to allow entry to each of the compartments of birds of different species depending on their size, so that through the holes (5 ") of smaller diameter can access the tits, common, capuchin and wren, while through the holes (5 ') of the compartment (4') can access such birds As the common blue tit, blue climber and the sparrow miller, while through the hole (5) of greater diameter can access birds to the upper compartment (4) corresponding to the family of sparrows, both common and garish and Moorish, by what the box admits different types of bird species, each in its own respondent compartment.

Inside the compartment (4 ") there is provided a compartment (6) for bats, which access through a lower hole (7) compartment in which defined different areas bounded by spacers (8) with holes (9) ) to allow passage of one side to another of the bats inside said compartment (6), with the special feature that the lower closing lid of said compartment (6) includes a plateau (10) defined in a species of protruding heel (11) to facilitate the entry of bats into the interior, through the hole (7), with the special feature that the spacers (8) and the internal walls of the compartment (6) have grooves (12) to allow the climbing and fastening or hanging of the bats themselves inside the compartment (6).

The mouth of the upper compartment (4) of the box, has holes (13) for insects, as shown in Figure 2, while in the bottom are also provided holes (14) of different diameters for different species of insects, which makes possible the nesting of different types of insects, from the classic wasp, bees, spiders, etc.

Figure 4 shows the box (1) with the aforementioned characteristics and provided in this case only two poultry houses, so that in any case the holes (5-5 ') can be finished with metal plates (15) .
