2. Description of the Related Art There is a beast catcher for catching a beast on a hunting ground. There are various types of beast traps, one of which is a so-called boxhole. This is provided with an opening to guide the beast into a part of the box-shaped main body,
It is configured to close the opening when a beast enters.

[0003]

In this animal trap, when the beast enters through the opening, the inner wall facing the opening comes into view of the beast. Many of these inner walls are constructed of steel materials in a mesh or grid, and it is not that the other side is not visible at all. I don't come.

[0004] In addition, a beast once entering a beast trap sometimes breaks open the door and escapes.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, a beast catcher according to the present invention has a first opening and a second opening, and the first and second openings are provided through an internal space. Opening and the second
And a main body configured to be able to communicate with the opening and to be able to see through from the first opening to the second opening, and the first opening can be opened and closed, A first door urged in a direction to change the first opening from the open state to the closed state, and the second opening can be opened and closed, and the second opening is changed from the open state to the closed state; A second door portion biased in the direction, a first locking portion for locking the first door portion in an open state, and a second locking portion for locking the second door portion in an open state. A locking part,
Detecting means for detecting that a beast has entered the inside of the main body; and interlocking with the operation of the detecting means, the locking state of the first locking portion and the second locking portion. Is released from the locked state (claim 1). The beast catcher thus configured is set on a hunting ground with the first door and the second door locked in an open state. The beast can see through the first opening to the second opening and can see the view beyond the beast trap. Therefore, they feel that they can pass through and enter the beast trap without being alert.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show a beast catcher C1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the beast catcher C1 is mainly used as a fence 1, which is a main body, a first door 35a, a second door 35b, a first locking portion and a stopper. Functioning first pivot member 82
a, a second rotating member 82b functioning as a second locking portion and a stopper, and a wire 70 (not shown in FIG. 1) functioning as a detecting means.

[0010] The enclosure fence 1 is composed of four columns 3, 5,
Four support members 13,1 spanned between 7,9 and the support
5, 17, and 19. Then, between the support member 13 and the support member 15, the support member 17 and the support member 1
9, between the support members 13 and 17, the support member 1
Between the support member 19 and the support member 19, a bar-shaped steel material A is stretched in a lattice shape. Thus, the enclosure fence 1 is formed in a tubular shape.

At the left end of the fence 1, a first opening 20a is provided.
A second opening 20b is formed at the right end. The first opening 20a and the second opening 20b communicate with each other through the internal space of the fence 1. Then, in a state where the first opening 20a and the second opening 20b are open, the first opening 20a and the second opening 20b can be seen through. Therefore, it is possible to see from the second opening 20b to the first opening 20a.

The four columns 3, 5, 7, 9 extend further above the upper surface of the fence 1. A support member 50 extends between the upper end of the support 3 and the upper end of the support 5, and a support member 51 extends between the upper end of the support 7 and the upper end of the support 9. I have.

The columns 3, 5, 7, 9 each have a U-shaped cross section. The support 3 and the support 5 serve as a guide for the door 35a, and the support 7 and the support 9 serve as a guide for the door 35b. The first door portion 35 is provided by the posts 3, 5, 7, and 9.

The opening 20a is opened by the door 35a.
Ob is opened and closed by the door 35b. Both doors 35a, 35b are urged vertically downward by gravity. That is, both door portions 35a, 35b are urged in the direction of changing the corresponding openings 20a, 20b from the open state to the closed state.

FIG. 2 shows the fence 1 in which the opening 20a is open. FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the fence 1. Although the door 35a is not shown in FIG. 2 to avoid complexity, the door 35a is not shown in FIG.
Is located at a height corresponding to the upper half of the columns 3,5. Further, in order to avoid complexity, in FIG. 2, the description of the steel material A is omitted except for a part.

In the beast catcher C1, a rotating member 82a having a hole 84 at the base end is provided rotatably about a steel material A passing through the hole 84. Two guides 78
Is a member for guiding the rotating direction of the rotating member 82a.
The rotating member 82a functions as a first locking portion that locks the first door 35a in an open state. The rotating member 82a also functions as a stopper that allows the first door 35a to transition from the open state to the closed state and does not allow the first door part 35a to transition from the closed state to the open state.

At the base end of the rotating member 82a, an abutting portion 83 for preventing the door 35a from dropping is formed. The tip of the rotating member 82a extends to a position protruding from the regulating member 80 that regulates the rotation of the rotating member 82a.

A hole is formed at the base end of the regulating member 80, and the steel material A penetrates the hole to form a pivot. The regulating member 80 is rotatable around the steel material A.

The tip of the regulating member 80 is inserted into a ring-shaped holding member 77. The holding member 77 is slidably provided along a steel material A. The tip of the rotating member 82a is pressed by the regulating member 80 so that it cannot move upward. Therefore, the contact portion 83
Is kept horizontal, and the door 35a is locked in the open state. That is, the opening 20a is maintained in the open state. Thus, in the open state of the door 35a of the fence 1, the door 3
5a urges the contact portion 83 of the rotating member 82a downward, so that the tip of the rotating member 82a urges the regulating member 80 upward.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the fence 1 on the opening 20a side, but the opening 20b has the same configuration. That is, the turning member 82b that locks the door portion 35b also extends beyond the position of the regulating member 80, and the turning member 82
