DESCRIPTION IN ITALIAN

Description

• The present patent relates to the construction of a trap for harmful animals such as mice, rats and the like.

• Other types are ecological but of complex construction established in the production of electromechanical equipment, • The drawbacks of the types, processes or products already existing concern both the trap itself and the pest control system of which it is an integral part concern the effectiveness of the system, ie methods of killing the rodent, the risks deriving from the use of toxic baits. The killing of the animal is often bloody or by poisoning. The use of chemical bait constitutes a direct or indirect toxicological danger for people, children, pets, the environment in general. The risk of pollution of the food chain can become particularly important in rural production environments, for crops, breeding and processing of related products for agri-food industries. The use of these harmful substances often involves the use of companies specialized in rodent control is expensive and, having to be repeated for long periods, remains ineffective.

Another drawback limiting the effectiveness of the trap is due to the need to have a series of types depending on the size and biological characteristics of the rodents,

* The advantages of the invention with respect to the past and therefore the prefixed purposes consist substantially:

- in the exclusion of the use of baits or rat poison substances and methods harmful to the environment in general also for the dispersion of carcasses;

- in the strong cost reduction, both of the rodent control system and of the construction of the trap itself;

- in the extreme practicality of use and effectiveness of the capture system of the rodent colony;

- in the non-bloody elimination of the animal that arouses a repulsive image in people *

* The trap is made up of a conical shaped container for liquids in plastic material (A) inside which a tilting disc is inserted on a horizontal axis (B), The disc is hinged in a lower position than the top of the container , by rotating it remains higher than the bottom of the container itself, it has a slightly raised edge.

The top of the container is equipped with a shaped lid (C) with two opposite openings and an edge for insertion into the container.

The container drum is composed of three ideal parts: a truncated conical base (i), an upper cylindrical base (2) to which the carrying handle (5) is attached and an intermediate band (3) truncated conical connection.

The hinges (4) consist of eccentric pins to allow the disc (B) to automatically return to a horizontal position after its movement.

The container (A) has a diameter of 280 at the base, 340 at the top, a height of 561 mm and a thickness of about 3.8 mm. can be stamped by moving the handle (5); its shape is obtained from the intersection of a spherical cap (6) with a tunnel with a parabolic generator (7).

The height of the lid (C), including the stop and the upward tunnel, is 106 mm while the span of the latter is 100 mm at the base and 70 mm in height.

The pivoting disc (B) has a diameter of about 295 mm, has a raised edge of 15 mm, is hinged along an axis orthogonal to the tunnel (7) on the lid (C) located about 197 mm from the top of the container (A) .

Given the constructive simplicity of the trap, this is represented with only two figures. Figure 1 represents the invention in section on the plane of the axis of rotation of the disk (B), while Figure 2 represents a top plan view of the container.

Indicatively, the plastic materials to be used for the barrel and disc are the p.v.c. and polyethylene, chromed steel for the pins and the handle. The invention can be produced in only two standard models: a large one for your business and a small one for your household. The above dimensions refer to the large model; the small model reduces the overall dimensions by about 30%.

* To activate the trap, fill the keg with water and anti-pitting liquid up to the level indicated in the notch. Then the foods that will act as bait such as grains, bread, fruit etc are evenly arranged on the disc; then the lid closes. The rodent will introduce itself into the tunnel, and therefore on the disc to feed, it will tilt it precipitating in the liquid, it will start to swim but will not be able to get out of the shaft since the disc will have returned to its original horizontal position and both for (Impossibility to jump from the water to free themselves. Other rodents will be attracted by re-triggering the capture mechanism for the multiplication of which it will be sufficient to replenish the quantity of food fallen to the bottom,

The invention can be modified while maintaining the inventive concept underlying it, and every detail can be replaced with something else

Claims (1)

Claims 1) TRAP FOR MICE, rats and the like, ecological, economical, effective, for multiple repetitive catches, easy thermoplastic construction and simplicity and versatility of use, discreet in its aspects and hygienically valid; 2) TRAP effective because it allows the progressive rodent control up to the reclamation of the infestations of the environment according to a minimum and occasional request for intervention by the user; 3) ecological TRAP because it excludes the use of poisonous or toxic baits and, through the capture on the bottom of the device, allows to avoid the dispersion of infected carcasses of rodents in the environment; 4) TRAP economic in its use because it does not require the use of specialized personnel or particular baits, but only common grains, fruit, bread etc. and occasional inspections; 5) TRAP of easy construction in thermoplastic material or similar in the shape of a bucket tending to the truncated cone equipped with a cap lid and does not require the addition of electromechanical devices and can be produced in only two formats depending on the characteristics of use; 6) TRAP with versatile use: from private homes, to agri-food companies, to livestock farms, to structures and communities; 7) TRAP which reduces problems of confidentiality since the device is similar to a bucket or container complete with a shaped lid which, together with the tilting disk inside it, hides the view of the cures, therefore having a pleasant appearance; 8) TRAP hygienically valid because the carcasses are collected in the tank consisting of the bottom of the trap itself to which a common anti-pitting liquid must be added and, with simple precautions, can be disposed of in landfills for biodegradable urban waste and thus in compliance with current legislation. matter; 9) TRAP which reduces the costs of storage, transport and packaging for its distribution to retailers, since the main components being well stacked will occupy little volume; 10) ecological TRAP also because by excluding the use of toxic or poisonous baits, risks for children and pets for the food chain and the environment in general are avoided
