Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a catching tool, and more particularly to a tool best suited for catching wild boars and deer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent deterioration of the natural environment, such as overexploitation in mountainous areas, crops and fruits in the fields near the mountainous areas, and the turf of golf courses tend to be damaged by wild boars and deer.
There is a need to eliminate such pests. Normal,
Known methods of controlling pests include the use of hunting guns, hollow traps, capture cages, and capture fences.

[0003] However, in the extermination method using a hunting gun, there is a risk of injuring and killing humans and livestock in places close to human houses or places with poor visibility. In addition, in the method using the hollow trap, there is a possibility that a human or a hunting dog may accidentally hit the trap. On the other hand, in the method using a catching cage or a catching fence, it is possible to immediately confirm that a cage or a fence is installed when approaching, and there is less inconvenience compared to a hunting gun or a hollow trap.

Conventionally, in this type of catching cage or catching fence, the main body of the cage or fence is manufactured as a whole in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, while a dropping door is provided on the main body, and the dropping door is opened at the time of capture, for example, a wild boar. In general, a method of trapping a wild boar by dropping a dropping door upon entering the main body (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 64-43681).

[0005]

However, the conventional trapping device has a complicated door dropping mechanism, and in addition to a worker pushing up the dropping door when installing a cage or a fence, an operation of setting the door dropping mechanism further. There was a problem in that a capturing device could not be installed unless two or more persons were required.

Further, the bar is supported in the cage or fence main body so as to extend in the lateral direction and the wire is stretched so as to be hooked on the legs of a boar or a deer. In general, when a wild boar or deer invaded the body, the drop door was dropped by the movement of the wild boar or deer, so large boars and deer were captured, and these were caught in cages and fences. If a rampage occurs inside the body, the bar may bend when hitting the bar, the rampage may occur when the wire is caught by a boar or a deer, and the door dropping mechanism that drops the dropping door may be destroyed, and the door will be dropped the next time it is used. There was a problem that a new mechanism had to be prepared.

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention enables a cage and a fence to be set by one person, and furthermore, captures a harmful beast such as a large boar or deer so that the door dropping mechanism is not destroyed. It is an object to provide tools.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, a capturing device according to the present invention is a capturing device for capturing a pest, wherein the capturing device has an opening through which a pest enters, and an opening of the capturing device main body. A drop door slidably supported up and down, and an upper half and a lower half are connected to each other so as to be foldable, and one end of the upper half and the lower half is connected to the drop door, and The tip of the dropping lid is rotatably attached to the capturing tool main body, and holds the dropping lid in the open position against the load of the dropping lid in the straight posture of the upper half and the lower half, while being folded. A rod-shaped stopper provided with a hook for allowing the dropping lid to fall and allowing a tip of a wire pulling the upper half and the lower half in a folding direction to be detached during a folding operation; and Department A spring member for urging the upper half and the lower half in the direction of folding each other when the two are urged and held in a straight posture between the lower half and the lower half while being pulled over the dead line; A beast detection mechanism that is provided in the capturing tool main body and has a wire that is hooked on the hook of the stopper, and that pulls the wire in the folding direction of the stopper by the movement or weight of the pest that has entered the capturing tool main body; , Is provided.

One of the features of the present invention is that a collapsible rod-shaped stopper is urged to a straight position by a spring member, while a wire extending from a beast detection mechanism is hooked on the stopper, and a harmful beast enters the capturing tool main body. Sometimes, the wire is pulled to start folding the rod-shaped stopper, and the wire is detached from the stopper, and the stopper is urged in the folding direction by a spring member that has passed the dead line so that the door is dropped.

Accordingly, when the worker pushes or pulls up the dropping door, the bar-shaped stopper automatically keeps the straight posture, so that the catching tool can be installed by one worker. Also, when the stopper starts folding, the wire extending from the beast detection mechanism comes off the stopper,
The beast detection mechanism and the stopper are not damaged by being pulled by the harmful beast, and can be reused.

As the beast detection mechanism, a conventional wire type or a tread type can be adopted. For example, when adopting the wire type, the beast detection mechanism stretches the wire to a height that can be hooked on the harmful animal's leg in the capturing tool body, supports it with a pulley, hooks the tip of the wire on the hook of the stopper, It is good to configure.

The stopper may be provided upright along the opening side in the capturing device main body, or may be provided upright on the upper surface of the capturing device main body. For example, if the catching tool body is large and the dropping door is heavy, it is better to provide a stopper along the side inside the capturing tool body, and if the catching tool body is medium or small and the dropping door is relatively light. Is preferably provided upright at the center of the upper surface of the capturing tool body.

[0013] The capturing device body may have an opening through which a harmful animal can enter, and a plurality of metal bars are assembled in a grid or in parallel on each surface of a rectangular parallelepiped frame as in the prior art. Can be adopted. Further, the drop door only needs to be able to open and close the opening of the capturing device main body, and it is possible to employ a square frame in which a plurality of metal bars are assembled in a grid or in parallel as in the related art.

The term "capture tool" as used in the claims includes both a capture cage and a capture fence. What structure is referred to as a capture cage or capture fence depends on the location. For example, a fence that opens at least half of the upper surface of the main body is a fence, and the entire upper surface is covered or the opening of
In some regions, the following are defined as cages, but in general, those that require permission for birds and beasts are defined as capture cages, and those that do not require licenses are generally defined as capture fences. . Therefore, according to the present invention, those requiring permission are defined as cages, and those requiring no permission are defined as fences.

The stopper device according to the present invention is also novel. That is, according to the present invention, in a catching device configured to support a dropping lid in an opening of a capturing device main body so as to be slidable up and down to capture a harmful animal, a stopper device for holding the dropping lid in an open position, And the lower half are connected to each other so as to be foldable. One end of the upper half and the lower half is rotatable to the dropping door, and the other end is rotatable to the capturing device body. Attached and holds the drop lid in an open position against the load of the drop lid in the straight posture of the upper half and the lower half, while allowing the drop lid to fall by its folding operation, A rod-shaped stopper provided with a hook that is hooked so that the tip of the wire that pulls the lower half in the folding direction can be detached during the folding operation, and both are in a straight posture between the upper half and the lower half. Attached And a spring member for urging the upper half and the lower half in the direction of folding each other when the vehicle crosses the dead line. be able to.

The upper half and the lower half constituting the rod-shaped stopper may be of any type, but a quadrangular cross-section is preferred in order to ensure desired strength and foldability. In addition, the upper half and the lower half may be connected simply by a connecting pin so as to be foldable, but in order to securely maintain the straight posture and stabilize the folding direction, at a position away from the center line of both. It is good to connect.

That is, the stopper has an upper half portion and a lower half portion formed in a rectangular cross section, and the upper half portion and the lower half portion are overlapped with each other in cross section, and the side portions in the folding direction extend in the width direction. It is preferable to be configured to be foldably connected by a pin.

If the upper half and the lower half of the stopper are simply connected by the connecting pin, the load applied to the stopper is too large when the dropping door is heavy, and the upper half may be bent to the side by the connecting pin. Therefore, it is preferable to fix a fall-prevention bar for preventing the fart from falling in a direction perpendicular to the folding direction of the upper half in the lower half of the stopper.
