The hook 13 at the tip of the link is engaged with and extends left and right,
The rear ends of the links 5 and 6 project slightly horizontally at the entrance 2 of the cage. Then, the lower ends of the left and right doors 3 are placed on the protruding portion 14 and are held so as to be vertically fallable. Further, the hooks 13 at the tips of the links 7 and 8 are engaged with the rod 12 to extend to the left and right, and the rear ends thereof are inserted into and joined to the engaging portions 16 with the links 5 and 6 on the lower side to be unified. ing. The engaging portion 16 has a hole 16a, and the rear end of the link is inserted into and joined to the hole 16a from above. Then, although the links are unified by this joining, the purpose of capturing can be achieved even if the joining is removed when the door 3 is dropped.

Since the tips of the links 5, 6, 7 and 8 are formed in a dogleg shape, the tilting movement of the tilting portion can be transmitted. However, when a force in the pushing direction opposite to the pulling direction is exerted, the hook 13 and the tilting portion 4 are disengaged from each other, and the force is released. That is, when the tilting section tilts, the lower links 5, 6 are interlocked with the tilting.
One of the left and right of the above and one of the left and right of the upper links 7 and 8 is pulled, and by the pull, the protruding portions 14 of the left and right doors slide backward, and the upper door 3 falls vertically. There is.

However, it is included in the present invention. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the tip of the link has a doglegged shape, but a hook that transmits a force in the pulling direction and releases a force in the opposite pushing direction is applicable, and an L-shaped hook is also applicable. It has the same effect. Also, instead of the link, the same effect can be obtained by using a member such as a wire or a string that transmits only the pulling force. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the entrances are arranged on both sides, but a case where the entrances are arranged on only one side is also included in the present invention. In this case, the tilting part can be suspended in the cage, one link can be engaged with the hanging part, and the rear end can be extended below the door for use in the same manner. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the total number of left and right is 4
Although it is configured to use a book link, the mechanism is slightly complicated, but depending on the mechanism, it is possible to drop the doors on both sides by two links, one on the left and one on the right.

[0017]

As described above, in the animal trapping apparatus according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention, when the animal enters the cage and contacts the tilting portion, the link is pulled along with the tilting, Since the door at the end of the link is unlocked and the door is dropped to close the entrance, the animal can be reliably captured with a simple structure. Further, since it is configured by simple parts such as the tilting portion and the link, it can be applied to an ordinary cage and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Furthermore, even if the captured beasts may be violent inside, if the cage is sturdy, the tilting part and rod have a simple structure, so even if it bends due to an impact, it can be easily recovered for a long period of time. Is available across.

According to another aspect of the present invention, in the animal trapping device, the door has a structure in which it is loosely fitted in guides vertically projecting on both sides of the entrance and slid up and down. Even if there is, it will fall along the guide without being caught. Further, since the guide and the door are detachable from the cage main body, bulkiness during transportation is eliminated. Further, since there is a gap between the reinforcing bar at the top of the cage and the horizontal reinforcing bar of the door, it is possible to prevent fingers from being caught when the door is dropped due to a malfunction during setting. Further, since a gap with the ground is formed in the lower portion of the door, it is possible to prevent the shoe from being caught due to a malfunction.

In the animal trapping apparatus according to the present invention, the tilting part tilts when the step part is bent by bending the middle part of the hanging part of the tilting part so as to hang down, and placing the tread plate at the lower end thereof. Since it is equipped with such a structure that this tilting part can be replaced, the nature of the beast,
It can be replaced with a tread-in type depending on the situation such as the installation location.
