Abstract

The trap has a central cylinder (1) comprising a spring integrated to a main axle. A V-shaped rod (9) actuates a cam (8) connected to a rod terminated by a ratchet engaged in a recess (7). The ratchet provokes expansion of the spring and propels the main axle that attains a mole using the nails, when the recess is freed. A pointed lower rod (6) is fixed to the cylinder, and a fine vertical rod (12) is connected to the ratchet.

Description

DescriptionDescription

Piège entièrement mécanique servant à la destruction des taupes, mulots et autres rongeurs.  Fully mechanical trap for the destruction of moles, field mice and other rodents.

Les taupes, en effet, font des galeries perceptibles par les monticules de terres qu'elles rejettent à la sortie de leurs galeries; cela provoque des dégâts considérables dans les jardins, pelouses, terrains de sport ( golf...) L'appareil est simple, efficace et facile à utiliser. Il mesure 50 cm de long et ressemble à une grosse seringue. Il fonctionne pour des galeries horizontales et verticales.  The moles, in fact, make galleries perceptible by the mounds of land which they reject at the exit of their galleries; this causes considerable damage in gardens, lawns, sports fields (golf ...) The device is simple, effective and easy to use. It is 50 cm long and looks like a big syringe. It works for horizontal and vertical galleries.

- Conception de l'appareil: 15 Le dispositif comporte deux tiges pointues (6) fixées à un cylindre creux (1). A la base de chacune de ces tiges se trouvent deux arrêtoirs (11) qui serviront à positionner le piège automatiquement au bon endroit dans la galerie et à le maintenir stable.  - Design of the apparatus: The device comprises two pointed rods (6) fixed to a hollow cylinder (1). At the base of each of these rods are two stoppers (11) which will be used to position the trap automatically at the right place in the gallery and to maintain it stable.

Entre ces deux tiges enfoncées dans le sol se trouve une charnière en forme de V (9) retenue par deux oeillets (10).  Between these two rods driven into the ground is a V-shaped hinge (9) retained by two eyelets (10).

A l'extrémité de ce V-charnière, un excentrique (8) est relié à une petite tige fine verticale (12). Au bout de cette tige, un cliquet amovible à bord rond (13) s'adapte à une encoche (7) de l'axe principal (2) afin de maintenir le piège armé.  At the end of this V-hinge, an eccentric (8) is connected to a small vertical thin rod (12). At the end of this rod, a removable ratchet with round edge (13) fits a notch (7) of the main axis (2) to maintain the armed trap.

Quel que soit le sens de passage de l'animal, le V- charnière qui est libre et n'offre aucune résistance va actionner l'excentrique dès le passage de la taupe. Celui-ci va pousser la fine tige (12) vers le haut et libérer le cliquet (13) de son encoche (7).  Whatever the direction of passage of the animal, the V-hinge which is free and offers no resistance will actuate the eccentric as soon as the passage of the mole. This will push the thin rod (12) upwards and release the pawl (13) from its notch (7).

2870672 -2- Dans le cylindre central (1) se trouve un ressort et en son centre un axe métallique de section carrée (2) qui lui est solidaire.  In the central cylinder (1) is a spring and in its center a metal axis of square section (2) which is secured thereto.

A l'extrémité supérieure de cette tige de section carrée une poignée (3) permet d'armer l'appareil. A l'autre extrémité un petit support métallique (4) porte deux pointes (5) maintenues par deux vis permettant de les remplacer au besoin.  At the upper end of this square section rod a handle (3) to arm the device. At the other end a small metal support (4) carries two points (5) held by two screws to replace them if necessary.

Pour armer l'appareil, il suffit de tirer sur la poignée (3). A 15 cm environ se trouve l'encoche (7) où l'on bloquera le cliquet (13).  To arm the device, simply pull on the handle (3). At about 15 cm is the notch (7) where the ratchet (13) will be blocked.

En position armée de l'appareil, le ressort est comprimé et maintient relevé l'axe portant les pointes.  In the armed position of the device, the spring is compressed and keeps raised the axis bearing the points.

- Déclenchement de l'appareil: Cas de galeries horizontales: Le Vcharnière est perpendiculaire à la galerie. Dès qu'une taupe passe dans n'importe quel sens, elle va incliner le V, faire pivoter l'excentrique, pousser la petite tige fine (12) et libérer le cliquet (13). Le ressort se détend, l'axe central est alors propulsé vers le bas dans la galerie et atteint la taupe grâce à ses deux pointes.  - Triggering of the device: Case of horizontal galleries: The Vharnière is perpendicular to the gallery. As soon as a mole passes in any direction, it will tilt the V, rotate the eccentric, push the small thin rod (12) and release the pawl (13). The spring relaxes, the central axis is then propelled downwards in the gallery and reaches the mole thanks to its two points.

Cas de galeries verticales: L'appareil comporte une petite chaînette (14) fixée au cylindre central et 20 reliée au V-charnière. Elle servira à incliner légèrement celui-ci sans déclencher le piège.  Case of vertical galleries: The apparatus comprises a small chain (14) fixed to the central cylinder and connected to the V-hinge. It will be used to tilt slightly without triggering the trap.

Lorsque la taupe viendra pour reboucher l'orifice de sa galerie par des poussées de terre successives, elle relèvera le V qui libérera aussitôt le cliquet (13) ; le ressort se détendra et l'axe (2) ira percuter l'animal comme cité ci-dessus.  When the mole comes to fill the opening of its gallery by successive earthquakes, it will raise the V which will release immediately the pawl (13); the spring will relax and the axis (2) will hit the animal as mentioned above.

Dans le cas d'une galerie verticale, le dispositif de déclenchement peut aussi être actionné par une coupelle métallique ( fig.3) placée au dessous de l'axe central (2) ; elle sera poussée vers le haut par la taupe; 2870672 -3- le cliquet (13) sera libéré de l'encoche (7) et l'axe portant les pointes (5) viendra percuter l'animal.  In the case of a vertical gallery, the triggering device can also be actuated by a metal cup (fig.3) placed below the central axis (2); it will be pushed upwards by the mole; The ratchet (13) will be released from the notch (7) and the axis carrying the tips (5) will strike the animal.

Ce piège peut être fabriqué en laiton, en PVC ou en fer (recouvert alors d'une peinture antirouille). Il n'est pas dangereux pour les animaux car 5 au moindre mouvement venant de l'extérieur il se déclenche vers le sol.  This trap can be made of brass, PVC or iron (then covered with an antirust paint). It is not dangerous for the animals because at the slightest movement coming from outside it is triggered towards the ground.
