Description

  The present invention relates to a cockroach trap. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cockroach trap that is made of paper, folded when sold or stored, and assembled when used.

There are many assembly-type cockroach traps made of paper, such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-165069, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-92, and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-11097. There is a conventional example.
This conventional example is made of paper and has a bottom wall 100 and four side walls 101 to 104 as shown in FIG. The four side walls 101 to 104 have tongue pieces and incisions. The two side walls facing each other face each other, and the tongue pieces and the incisions are hooked and combined to form a three-dimensional combination.
Therefore, in the use, it assembles in the procedure shown to FIG. 11 (A)-(D), and it carries out in the following way.
1) Start after folding the side walls 101 and 102 inward. Next, after the claws of the side walls 103 and 104 are folded outward, the side walls 103 and 104 are raised.
2) Remove the release paper 106 attached to the adhesive surface 105 on the seat wall 100.
3) Place one cockroach attractant 107 in the center of the adhesive surface.
4) Insert the insertion part on the side walls 101, 102 into the insertion hole firmly.

  In the above-described conventional example, there are several valley folds, several mountain folds, and several insertions, and it takes time and effort to assemble. In addition, since the release sheet 106 is affixed in advance to the adhesive 105 that captures cockroaches, the release sheet 106 must be peeled off during assembly. Therefore, the assembly at the time of use is troublesome and is not necessarily convenient for consumers.
