Description

The present invention relates to an animal capture device.
More particularly, the present invention relates to an animal capture device that can capture an animal without damaging it.

  When capturing to protect abandoned dogs and cats, it is desirable to capture animals without damaging them from the viewpoint of animal welfare. The same applies to protecting rare animals.

  Conventionally, as a capture device for capturing an animal, a trap made in a box shape using a welded wire mesh obtained by welding wire rods is generally used. This is a structure in which bait for decoy is hung in the catcher, and when the animal enters the catcher and pulls the feed, the falling door closes the entrance so that the animal cannot escape outside It is.

  However, since the conventional catcher is made with a welded wire net, the captured animal often violently hits the side wall or the like and is injured.

  In recent years, wild animals such as raccoon dogs that have been deprived of their living areas due to residential land development, etc., sometimes appear in residential areas in search of leftover food. For this reason, there are cases where traps are used in residential areas, but it is conceivable that children may mischief and pinch their hands with falling doors, resulting in injury. The request about was strong.

(Object of the present invention)
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an animal capturing device that can capture an animal without damaging it.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide an animal capturing apparatus that is highly safe for humans and that is not injured by an erroneous operation or the like.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide an animal capture device that can be carried and stored in a compact state.

  Means taken by the present invention to achieve the above object are as follows.

In the first invention,

In the third invention,
The capture net and the holding member are separable, and the holding member is configured to be folded or / and disassembled,
It is the animal capture device which concerns on 1st or 2nd invention.

  There is no particular limitation on the type of animal to be captured. For example, pets such as dogs and cats, beasts such as raccoon dogs and wild boars, and other birds such as crows can be mentioned.

  The material of the capture net is not particularly limited as long as it has flexibility or deformability. Examples thereof include synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyethylene, wires, and combinations thereof.

  “Foldable and / or disassembled” as used herein and in the claims may include either folding or disassembling, or may include both folding and disassembling.

(Work)
The present invention operates as follows.
(A) The animal attached to the smell of the bait attached to the bait receiving part enters the inner part of the bag-shaped capture net from the opening. When the animal bites or pulls the food, the closing means closes the opening side of the capture net in conjunction with the food receiving part.

  Then, the catching means provided in the catch net entangles the net and traps the animal inside the net. Furthermore, even when the animal is rampant, the catching means is intricately intertwined with the catching net, so that the animal cannot move.

(B) In the case where the opening of the trapping net is configured to open and close essentially in the vertical direction and the weight body is provided on the opening side, the opening closes in a shorter time due to the weight of the weight. It is done. Thereby, it is possible to capture the animal that has entered the capture net without escaping.

The present invention has the above-described configuration and has the following effects.
(A) According to the present invention, an animal can be captured by a trapping net having flexibility or deformability. Therefore, even when the animal is rampant, it is different from a case where the animal is surrounded by a sturdy fence such as a welded wire mesh. Can be captured without damaging the animals.

(B) The present invention is not a heavy structure in which the opening is closed by a drop-type door or the like, but is simply a structure in which the opening of the catch net is closed so as not to be opened by the catching means. Even if the part is closed, there is no danger of injury by pinching the hand, and it is highly safe for people.

(C) The catching net and the holding member are separable, and the holding member configured to be folded or / and disassembled is convenient because the animal catching device can be carried and stored in a compact state. .

  The invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of an embodiment shown in the drawing.

FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing an embodiment of an animal capture device according to the present invention,
2 (a) and 2 (b) are side view explanatory views for explaining the operating state of the animal capturing device shown in FIG. FIG. 2 (a) shows a state where the capture net is falling, and FIG. 2 (b) shows a state after the capture net is dropped.

  In FIG. 2, the side holding member 22 located slightly to the left from the center in the drawing is shown in cross section from the elbow 221 portion. Moreover, in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the bait B for decoys is represented by the imaginary line. Furthermore, the vertical direction of the capture net 1 is described based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (a), the animal capturing apparatus A has a bag shape with an opening 100 side, and has a flexible or deformable capture net 1 and the opening 100 side opened. The holding member 2 which can hold | maintain the capture net | network 1 in the state is provided. The holding member 2 is formed so as to cross in a cross shape in plan view, and can be self-supported by a required number (three in the present embodiment) of the column portions 212, 222, and 222.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the holding member 2 has a closing means for closing the opening 100 side in conjunction with the hook-shaped bait receiving portion 18. The trapping net 1 is a hook-shaped hooking portion that is a hooking means that can trap the animal inside the net by entwining the net when the opening 100 is dropped and the opening 100 is closed (see FIG. 2B). 11 and 132 are provided.

Hereinafter, each component of the animal capture device A will be described in detail step by step.
(Capture net 1)
Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG.
The capture net 1 is formed of a material having sufficient strength so that an animal to be captured cannot be broken by eating it. When the capture net 1 is attached to the holding member 2, the opening 100 is opened and closed in the vertical direction (opened sideways), and the inner part of the bag faces in the opposite direction.

  The opening 100 of the trapping net 1 is greatly opened so that the edge is substantially U-shaped in plan view, so that animals can enter inside in a wide range (angle). The peripheral edge of the opening 100 is reinforced with a thick string-like body 101 to prevent the edge 100 from becoming smaller due to the edge portion hanging down.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, a weight body 12 (hereinafter referred to as “center weight body 12 for convenience of description” is provided in the upper central portion of the opening portion 100 so that the opening portion 100 side can be closed in a shorter time. ")" Is attached. In this embodiment, the center weight body 12 is formed in a columnar shape, but is not particularly limited to that shape. As shown in FIG. 2A, the center weight body 12 is dropped almost directly by being guided by the guide rail 214 provided on the support column portion 212 of the holding member 2.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view illustrating a portion including the central weight body shown in FIG. 2A, and shows a guide rail 214 for guiding the central weight body 12 in a longitudinal section. One end of a chain 122 is attached to the center weight body 12 to an attachment portion 121 having an inverted U shape when viewed from the side, and a guide roller 123 that travels in the guide rail 214 is provided at the other end of the chain 122. . Since the guide roller 123 and the guide rail 214 are the same as those generally used for curtain rails, detailed description of the structure is omitted.

  The upper portion of the upper portion of the catch net 1 is connected to the attachment portion 121 by a string-like body 124 so that the catch net 1 always falls in a state of being pulled toward the support portion 212 side. In FIG. 3, a suspended portion 125 is erected on the upper portion of the central weight body 12. The hanging portion 125 includes an annular engaging portion 126 at the tip, and is provided in a state of being penetrated through the capture net 1. The central weight body 12 is passed through a suspension pin 125 that constitutes a closing means through an engagement portion 126 of the suspension portion 125 that protrudes from the through hole 210 from below and through a through hole 210 of the holding member 2 described later. It is removably suspended (held).

  As shown in FIG. 1, a misalignment prevention body 13, which is a weight that prevents misalignment of the trapping net 1, is located at the lower center portion of the opening 100, that is, almost directly below the center weight body 12 (in the vicinity of the inside of the support column 212). Is attached. In this embodiment, the anti-displacement body 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape, but is not particularly limited to this shape. The slip prevention body 13 is attached to the outside of the capture net 1. Specifically, the displacement prevention body 13 includes a substantially U-shaped attachment portion 131 at required positions on both the left and right sides, and the attachment portion 131 is fixed to the capture net 1 with a string (not shown).

  A required number (two in this embodiment) of hook-like hooks 132 projecting toward the inside of the catch net 1 is provided on the upper portion of the displacement prevention body 13. Similar to the hook 111 described above, the catch net 1 can be entangled by the hook 132 so that the animal can be confined in the net.

  On the ground contact surface side of the displacement prevention body 13, a plate-like ground portion 133 (hereinafter referred to as a ground plate 133) that intersects the axial center direction of the displacement prevention body 13 is provided. The grounding plate 133 can hold the displacement preventing body 13 so that the hooking portion 132 always faces upward (inside the capture net 1). The grounding plate 133 can be overlapped by rotating in the axial center direction of the anti-displacement body 13 by the shaft pin 134 (not shown hidden in FIG. 1, see FIG. 2A). Thereby, when the capture net | network 1 is folded, it can accommodate so that the grounding plate 133 may not protrude outside the main body of the slip prevention body 13. FIG.

  The same or substantially the same shape as the above-described misalignment prevention body 13 is fixed to the four corners of the opening 100. That is, what is fixed to the bottom side of the capture net 1 is the same as the above-described misalignment prevention body 13, and is a misalignment prevention body 13a for preventing the position of the opened capture net 1 from shifting. Since the structure of the displacement preventing body 13a is the same as that of the above-described displacement preventing body 13, description thereof is omitted.

  Since the slip prevention body 13a is fixed from the outside of the catch net 1 similarly to the slip prevention body 13, the catch net 1 is positioned on the slip prevention bodies 13 and 13a as shown in FIG. . Therefore, when the animal capture device A is installed, a gap S is formed between the capture net 1 and the ground plane, and the capture net 1 is slightly lifted from the ground plane. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the catch net 1 falls, the upper hooking portion 11 is likely to be caught by the lower catch net 1.

  On the other hand, among the four corners of the opening 100, those fixed to the upper side of the trapping net 1 are similar in shape to the above-described misalignment prevention body 13, but the action is substantially the same as that of the above-mentioned center weight body 12. The weight body 14 for closing the opening 100 side in a shorter time is the same. In addition, since it is adhering to the side of the capture net | network 1 in FIG. 1, the weight body 14 is hereafter called the "side weight body 14".

  The side weight body 14 is fixed inside the capture net 1. Reference numeral 141 denotes a substantially U-shaped mounting portion provided at a required position of the side weight body 14. The attachment portion 141 is fixed to the capture net 1 via a string (not shown). In the present embodiment, the side weight body 14 does not have the hooking portion 132, but may have a structure including the hooking portion 132.

  The upper portion of the side weight body 14 (toward the outside of the mesh body) is provided with a suspended portion 143 having an annular engagement portion 142 at the tip, like the above-described center weight body 12. Further, like the above-described center weight body 12, the suspended portion 143 is provided through the capture net 1. Further, the suspension portion 143 is passed through a through hole 220 of the side holding member 22 described later from below, and a locking pin extending from the center weight body 12 side to the engagement portion 142 of the suspension portion 143 protruding from the through hole 220. A side weight 14 is removably held through 15.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the locking pin 15 is attached to one end of the string-like body 16, and the other end of the string-like body 16 is tied to a string-like body 124 that connects the central weight body 12 and the capture net 1. It is fixed. A guide tube 17 is attached to the central portion of the upper peripheral edge of the opening 100 along the edge of the opening 100. The string-like body 16 is passed through the guide tube 17. Thereby, when the capture net | network 1 is installed, the edge part of the upper part of the opening part 100 hangs down, and the opening part 100 is prevented from becoming narrow.

  In FIG. 1, on the upper side of the catch net 1, as described above, a required number (in the present embodiment, a large number) of hook-like hook portions 11 projecting toward the inside of the catch net 1 are provided. Further, a hook-shaped bait receiving portion 18 for hooking bait bait B is provided in the upper part of the upper part of the catch net 1.

  The base end side of the bait receiving part 18 is connected to the rocking body 23 of the holding member 2 described later via a chain 181. A guide roller 182 having the same structure as that of the central weight body 12 is attached to the base end portion of the chain 181. The guide roller 182 is detachably attached to a guide roller receiving portion 231 (in this embodiment, the same structure as that of the guide rail 214 described above and a short length is used) provided in the rocking body 23. With this configuration, when the animal that has entered the trapping net 1 pulls the bait B and the chain 181 is pulled, the guide roller 182 slides off from the guide roller receiving portion 231, and the central weight body 12 is interlocked therewith. Is a mechanism to fall.

  A flat net holder 19 is fixed to the chain 181 to which the bait receiver 18 is attached. Although not shown, a hole is made in a required portion of the net holder 19 and is fixed to the capture net 1 through a string so as not to be inclined. The net holder 19 is pulled upward by the chain 181 to prevent the inner part of the net from being narrowed due to the inner portion of the capture net 1 being recessed inward.

(Holding member 2)
The holding member 2 is mainly composed of a plastic pipe (in this embodiment, a pipe made of hard polyvinyl chloride), and the weight is reduced. The holding member 2 includes a center holding member 21 that detachably holds the center weight body 12 and a side holding member 22 that detachably holds the side weight bodies 14 and 14. The central holding member 21 is formed in an L shape in a side view, and the above-mentioned support column part 212 hangs down through an elbow 211 on the base end side. The side holding member 22 is formed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front, and the above-described supporting column part 222 is suspended via the elbows 221 on both sides.

  The front side of the central holding member 21 is overlapped from above at a substantially intermediate portion of the side holding member 22 and is fixed by a fixing tool 223 including a bolt and a wing nut.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the holding member.
As shown in FIG. 4, each support | pillar part 212,222,222 of the center holding member 21 and the side holding member 22 can be removed from the elbow 211,221,221 part. Moreover, the holding member 2 can be rotated by using the fixing tool 223 as a fulcrum by releasing the fixing by the fixing tool 223, and can be overlapped like a single rod-shaped body. Thus, since the holding member 2 can be disassembled in a compact manner, it is convenient to carry and store.

  On the distal end side of the central holding member 21, a swinging body 23 that moves up and down with the shaft portion 213 as a fulcrum is provided. In this embodiment, the oscillating body 23 is formed of a slightly thin pipe made of hard polyvinyl chloride. As described above, the guide roller receiving portion 231 is provided near the tip portion on the lower side of the rocking body 23. A guide roller 182 having a chain 181 having a bait receiving portion 18 attached to the tip is detachably attached to the guide roller receiving portion 231.

  One end portion of a tension coil spring 24 that is a coil spring that is an urging means is fixed to a tip portion on the upper side of the swing body 23 by a fixing tool 241. The other end portion of the tension coil spring 24 is fixed to the front end portion of the central holding member 21. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the oscillating body 23 normally tilts upward due to the urging force of the tension coil spring 24, and when the animal pulls the food B, it swings against the tension coil spring 24. The moving body 23 is inclined downward to the front.

  Further, a proximal end portion of the string-like body 25 is attached to the top side of the swing body 23 near the tip. As described above, the locking pin 26 that locks the suspended portion 125 of the center weight body 12 is attached to the tip of the string-like body 25. With such a configuration, when the animal pulls the food B and the rocking body 23 tilts downward (see FIG. 2A), the string-like body 25 is pulled in the direction of the arrow, and the locking pin 26 is the center weight body. The 12 suspension parts 125 come out. In addition, the rocking body 23 is inclined downward, the guide roller 182 is detached from the guide roller receiving portion 231 of the rocking body 23, and the bait receiving portion 18 falls together with the catch net 1.

  Then, the center weight body 12 falls along the guide rail 214, and the locking pin 15 that locks the side weight body 14 is pulled toward the center weight body 12 so as to come out of the suspension portion 143, thereby causing the side The weight body 14 also falls. As a result, the trapping net 1 held along the holding member 2 falls as shown in FIG. 2B, and the opening 100 is closed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a guide tube 27 is provided on the upper side of the central holding member 21 along the axial direction. The string-like body 25 of the locking pin 26 is passed through this guide tube 27. Further, the base side of the locking pin 26 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide tube 27 so that the string-like body 25 is pulled toward the swinging body 23 and does not come out of the guide tube 27.

(Work)
The animal capture device A operates as follows.
[When the animal capture device A is not used]
In order not to be bulky when not in use, it is stored with the capture net 1 removed from the holding member 2. If the guide roller 123 of the center weight body 12 is pulled out from the lower part of the guide rail 214 from the state shown in FIG. 2B, the capture net 1 can be removed from the holding member 2.

  The capture net 1 may be folded and stored. At this time, it is preferable that the grounding plate 133 of the anti-slip bodies 13 and 13a is folded. In addition, when folding the capture net | network 1, it is preferable to attach a bag-like cover (illustration omitted) to the hook parts 11 and 132 so that the hook parts 11 and 132 may not catch on a net | network. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the holding member 2 removes the support portions 212, 222, and 222 and superimposes the remaining central holding member 21 and the side holding member 22. If it carries out as mentioned above, the animal capture device A can be carried and stored in a compact state.

[Installation of animal capture device A]
(1) The support members 212, 222, and 222 shown in FIG. 4 are fitted to form the center holding member 21 and the side holding member 22. As shown in FIG. 1, the side holding member 22 is rotated with respect to the center holding member 21, and the center holding member 21 and the side holding member 22 are crossed to stand on the grounding surface.

  (2) Place the catch net 1 inside the holding member 2. Displacement prevention bodies 13 and 13a of the trapping net 1 are arranged in the vicinity of the insides of the respective support portions 212, 222, and 222 so that the opening 100 faces the support portion 212 side of the central holding member 21.

  (3) The guide roller 182 to which the chain 181 having the bait receiving portion 18 at the tip is attached is slid and attached to the guide roller receiving portion 231 on the front side of the central holding member 21. Thereby, the back part of the capture net 1 is lifted and a space part is formed. The food B is attached to the food receiver 18. The bait B may be attached after the installation of the animal capturing device A is completed.

  (4) The guide roller 123 of the center weight body 12 is slid from above and fitted into the guide rail 214. The suspended portion 125 of the center weight body 12 is passed through the through hole 210 of the center holding member 21 from below, and the center weight body 12 is supported by one hand. With the other hand, the locking pin 26 is passed through the engaging portion 126 of the hanging portion 125, and the central weight body 12 is held by the locking pin 26 and suspended upward. At this time, the locking pin 26 and the engaging portion 126 can be stopped with a clip metal or the like so that the locking pin 26 does not come off by a later operation. The same applies to the side weight bodies 14 and 14 described below.

  (5) Similarly, each side weight body 14 also passes the suspension part 143 from below through the through hole 220 of the side holding member 22, and then passes the locking pin 15 through the engagement part 142 of the suspension part 143. The weight body 14 is held by the locking pin 15. Thereby, the side weight body 14 is suspended upward. Thus, the trapping net 1 is held in a state where the opening 100 is largely opened by suspending the center weight body 12 and the side weight body 14 upward. Moreover, when the cover is attached to the hook part 11, the cover is removed.

[Capture by animal capture device A]
Reference is made to FIG.
The animal that is fed by the smell of the bait B enters the inner part of the capture net 1 through the opening 100. When the animal pulls the food B, the swing body 23 together with the chain 181 tilts downward against the tension coil spring 24. Thereby, the string-like body 25 of the center holding member 21 is pulled in the direction of the arrow, the locking pin 26 comes off from the hanging portion 125, and the center weight body 12 falls.

  When the center weight body 12 starts to fall, the locking pin 15 that locks the side weight bodies 14 and 14 is pulled to the center weight body 12 side, and the side weight bodies 14 and 14 are similarly dropped. As a result, the trapping net 1 held by the holding member 2 falls as shown in FIG. 2B, and the opening 100 is closed.

  The hook portion 11 provided inside the upper part of the catch net 1 is hooked on the lower side or the upper side of the catch net 1. The same applies to the hooking portion 132 provided on the anti-displacement body 13, 13a on the ground surface side. Thereby, the capture net | network 1 can be entangled and an animal can be confined inside the capture net | network 1. FIG. Furthermore, even if the animal is rampant, the hook 11 is intricately entangled with the capture net 1, so that the animal cannot move.

  In this way, since the animal can be captured by the trapping net 1 having flexibility or deformability, even when the animal is rampant, unlike the case where the animal is surrounded by a sturdy fence such as a welded wire mesh, Can be captured without hurting.

  In addition, since the opening 100 side is not a heavy structure that closes with a drop-type door or the like, the opening 100 side of the trapping net 1 is simply closed so as not to be opened by the hooking portions 11 and 132. Even if the opening 100 is closed due to, for example, there is no danger of injury by pinching the hand, and it is highly safe for humans.

  Note that the terms and expressions used in this specification are merely explanatory and are not restrictive, and do not exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the above terms and expressions. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.

  Further, in the claims, the reference numerals used in the drawings are described in parentheses in order to facilitate understanding of the contents of the claims, but the claims are not limited to those described in the drawings. Absent.
