Description

  The present invention relates to a manual insect trap for catching insects.

  The use of chemicals to remove insects that have invaded the room is uncomfortable due to concerns about adverse health effects. In addition, the pest control agent that prevents entry into the room has the disadvantage that even if it is installed, it cannot completely prevent the entry of insects into the room. There are various conventional techniques related to insect traps that can eliminate such resistance and defects without using chemicals, do not use suction devices such as adhesives and vacuum cleaners, and catch insects without crushing them.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the net shape is not a circle but a square as an insect trapping net that does not feel unpleasant due to the generation of smoke and chemical substances generated by the method of evaporating chemicals and mosquito coils to combat indoor insects. Thus, insect trapping nets have been proposed, which are easy to catch insects that stop on the ceiling, walls, corners, and curtains.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, it is possible to capture cockroaches without killing them and without directly touching them, and as a cockroach trap that can be used semipermanently at low cost, it does not touch cockroaches. A catcher body in which a disposable catch bag is detachably attached to a catcher body formed in a generally ladle shape so as to be covered and captured, and the catcher body having the lower surface opened. A cockroach trap has been proposed which is formed in a hollow shape by a pipe-shaped handle and a transparent or translucent material so that the movement of the cockroach is visible.

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since a space until a bug reaches a structure like a drawstring for closing the mouth in the middle of the net is wide, like a drawstring for closing the mouth It is not easy for insects to reach the structure, and they move around inside the net.
In addition, the described technique is intended only for catching insects and cannot be chosen to kill without using drugs.
In addition, the net with insects is repeatedly used, which is unsanitary.

On the other hand, with the technique described in Patent Document 2, insects other than cockroaches cannot be captured.
Further, since there is a large space in the capture container where cockroaches move around, the cockroaches do not enter the capture bag immediately.
Furthermore, there is a possibility that cockroaches once entered into the capture bag may escape to the outside of the capture bag again by running backward in the cylindrical handle portion.
In addition to this, when removing the capture bag, it is necessary to indirectly hold the cockroach by hand from above the capture bag to prevent escape.
Also, it is intended to throw away the entire cockroach that has been caught in the trash, and is not intended to provide the option of letting it go outside.
In addition to this, the capture bag with the cockroach attached can be replaced, but the cockroach is directly attached to the main body of the catcher and the handle part to be used repeatedly.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

The insect trap of the present invention includes a trap body having a handle portion formed on a frame, and a plurality of bags attached to the frame of the trap body so that one end is closed and the other end is opened. And a closing tool for closing the opening of the insect trapping bag when the insect enters the insect trapping bag.
According to this configuration, both cockroaches and other insects can be captured. In addition, insects can be easily put directly into the capture bag.
Furthermore, the area and internal space of each of the plurality of bags constituting the capture bag are narrower than the area and internal space of the conventional capture bag as a single bag. The bag itself can prevent the insects in the bag from moving around.
In addition to this, by using a closing tool together, it is not necessary to indirectly hold down the insects in the catching bag by hand from above the catching bag, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable.
In addition, by using a closure, there is an effect that insects can be killed in a capture bag without using a drug by the method of death from suffocation.

The insect trap of the second aspect of the present invention is the insect trap according to claim 1, wherein a part or all of the plurality of bags is a transparent or translucent translucent material in which the inside can be seen. A cylindrical bag having a cylindrical shape with one end closed is provided.
According to such a configuration, the insect caught in the insect catching bag can be visually confirmed, and the opening of the cylindrical bag can be easily closed with the closing tool, so that the insect entering the bag can escape again. It has the effect of making it difficult.

The insect trap of the present invention 3 is characterized in that in the insect trap of claim 1 or 2, an attachment / detachment means for attaching / detaching the plurality of bags from the trap body is provided.
According to such a configuration, it is possible to perform both the selection of catching insects alive and letting them escape to the outdoors and the disposal of the catch bags as garbage. In addition, there is an effect that it is hygienic because the insects do not touch any part of the catcher other than the catch bag and the catch bag can be replaced.

The insect trap of the present invention 4 is the insect trap according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein an edge portion is provided at a lower end of the outer peripheral surface of the frame, and the edge portion is in contact with the insect trap when capturing the insect. A space is provided between the capture surface and the lower surface of the frame.
According to such a configuration, there is an effect of preventing the insects from being crushed by the frame member itself.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, both cockroaches and other insects can be captured. In addition, insects can be easily put directly into the capture bag.
Furthermore, the area and internal space of each of the plurality of bags constituting the capture bag are narrower than the area and internal space of the conventional capture bag as a single bag. The bag itself can prevent the insects in the bag from moving around.
In addition to this, by using a closing tool together, it is not necessary to indirectly hold down the insects in the catching bag by hand from above the catching bag, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable.
In addition, by using a closure, there is an effect that insects can be killed in a capture bag without using a drug by the method of death from suffocation.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the insect caught in the insect catching bag can be visually recognized, and the cylindrical bag can be easily closed with the closing tool, so that it is difficult for the insect entering the bag to escape to the outside again. There is an effect.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bag 2 is formed into a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of cylindrical bags 3 having one end opened are joined to form a capture bag 6 in which the entire opening has a honeycomb shape. . Thereby, compared with the capture bag comprised as a single bag, the area and lateral width L1 of the opening part 3a of this some cylindrical bag are small.

  The cylindrical bag 3 constituting the capture bag 6 is made of a net-like, transparent or translucent translucent material M in order to visualize the inside from the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the bonding part 11 which adhere | attaches each cylindrical bag 3 among the capture bags 6 is made into the opening part 6a vicinity of a capture bag. On the other hand, in the other direction, that is, in the back direction 10 of the catch bag away from the opening 6a, the respective cylindrical bags 3 are not bonded to each other but are separated and independent.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the handle portion 16 is connected to the frame 14 to form a trap body 17 in which the frame 14 and the handle portion 16 are integrated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the catch bag 6 is attached to the frame 14 of the catcher body 17 so as to be detachable by an attaching / detaching means 5 such as a rubber cord 5a, thereby forming the catcher 7 with the catch bag attached. .

  The length L2 of the closing portion of the clip 18a as the closing tool shown in FIG. 5 for use in combination with the insect trap 1 is such that the mouth is completely closed with the tubular bag 3 interposed therebetween. The width is made longer than the horizontal width L1. That is, the lateral width L1 of the cylindrical bag 3 is made shorter than the length L2 of the closed portion of the clip 18a.

  Then, 2nd Embodiment of the insect trap of this invention is described.

  The cylindrical bag 3 only needs to make the internal insects visible from the outside, and only a part, not all, may be transparent, translucent, or net-like.

  The material of the cylindrical bag 3 may be provided with protrusions and unevenness for making it easy to climb insects in addition to the smooth flat material as shown in FIG. 1 having no protrusions and unevenness.

  The material of the cylindrical bag 3 may be anything as long as it has a function described below, regardless of whether it is vinyl or nylon.

  The opening 3a of the cylindrical bag 3 is not limited to a quadrangle as shown in FIG. 1, and may have other shapes such as a round shape.

  The overall shape of the bag 2 is not limited to a cylindrical prism, a column, or the like, and may be a cone or a sphere.

  The connecting portion 15 between the frame 14 and the handle portion 16 may be a non-movable type that connects the frame 14 and the handle portion 16 in a fixed state, but may use a connecting method that can change the angle.

  The position where the frame 14 and the handle portion 16 are connected is not limited to an arbitrary point on the side of the frame 14 as shown in FIG. 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a horizontal bar extending over the frame 14. Connection may be performed on the above.

  The handle portion 16 may be any of a telescopic type, an assembled type from a plurality of bars, etc. in addition to the non-expandable type.

  The overall shape of the frame 14 is not limited to a square as shown in FIG. 4, and may be another shape such as a round shape. Therefore, from the combination of the free shape of the opening 3a of the cylindrical bag 3 shown in the above (0029) and the free shape of the entire bag 2 shown in the above (0030), for example, as shown in FIG. Various embodiments are possible.

  The frame 14 may be devised to prevent the capture bag 6 from being broken at a sharp corner by providing the curved surface portion R on the upper surface 14b of the member 14a constituting the frame 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 10, the member 14a constituting the frame 14 is not limited to one having a wide area at the lower end 14c of the outer peripheral surface 14e of the frame. In order to avoid crushing the insect 9 by the member 14a itself, an edge portion E is provided at the lower end 14c of the outer peripheral surface 14e of the frame, and the capture surface W and the frame lower surface 14d of the point G where the edge portion E contacts when capturing the insect. A space S may be provided between the two. Thereby, the insect enters the space S without being crushed.

  The cross-sectional shape of the member 14a of the frame 14 composed of the upper surface 14b, the lower surface 14d, the outer peripheral surface 14e, and the inner peripheral surface 14f is limited to a trapezoidal shape with a curved surface portion R as shown in FIGS. First, the length of each of the upper surface 14b, the lower surface 14d, the outer peripheral surface 14e, and the inner peripheral surface 14f of the frame 14, the angle with respect to each capture surface W, and whether each is a straight line or a curved line depends on the space S. Any method may be used as long as it has a function of avoiding crushing.

  The rubber strap 5a may be incorporated in advance in the capture bag 6 and used as a capture bag with a rubber string integrated with the capture bag 6, or may be prepared separately and used independently without being incorporated in the capture bag 6. Further, the attaching / detaching means 5 is not limited to the rubber cord 5a, and any other system such as an elastic body such as a rubber band, a magnet, and a hook-and-loop fastener may be used.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the clip 18 a may be provided with a dedicated storage portion at any location of the trap body 17 by providing a hollow portion at the tip 4 of the handle portion, for example. .

  What is used as the closing tool 18 is not limited to the clip 18a, and may be anything such as a wire tie or a tie wrap.

  Next, a method for using the insect trap of the present invention will be described below.

  The catcher 7 with the catch bag is assembled in advance. Regardless of the type of cockroach, mosquito, spider, spider, centipede, ant, etc., when the user finds an insect in the room, the trap 7 with the catch bag attached is shaken down. When the insect 9 is caught on the inner side 13 of the frame, the frame 14 is brought into close contact with the capture surface W so that there is no gap between the capture surface W on the ground and the frame 14.

  When the insect 9 is on the wall or ceiling, or when flying in the air, the catcher 7 with the capture bag attached is swung down against the insect 9 to be captured in the same manner as in the above (0042). If the frame 14 is captured, the frame 14 is kept in close contact with the capture surface W such as a wall or ceiling so that a gap is not formed.

  Thus, when the insect 9 is successfully captured on the inner side 13 of the frame, the insect 9 is captured in any one of the plurality of cylindrical bags 3 constituting the capture bag 6. At this time, the lateral width L1 of the cylindrical bag 3 and the area of the opening 3a and the internal space are narrower than the capture bag configured as a single bag. It can be suppressed with the bag itself. Thereby, the insect 9 does not move around freely over a wide range.

  Subsequently, by using the translucent material M, the state of the insect 9 in the capture bag 6 that is transparent or translucent so that the inside can be seen is visually confirmed. When the insect 9 stays in the vicinity of the opening 6a of the capture bag, the insect 9 moves in the back direction 10 of the capture bag, that is, away from the opening 6a by utilizing the property of wanting to proceed to a narrow space. Wait for yourself to advance. Alternatively, the entire catcher 7 with the capture bag attached is slightly shaken back and forth and left and right to stimulate the insect 9 and surprise it, and advance it in the depth direction 10 of the capture bag.

  However, when the insect 9 is caught in the inner side 13 of the frame and at the same time has already advanced in the depth direction 10 of the catching bag, the process of the above (0045) can be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the insect 9 climbs up to the inner wall surface of the capture bag 6 and the capture bag 6 is entirely transparent, the grotesque insect abdomen 20 may be seen. Therefore, the insect 9 before climbing on the wall faces the abdomen 20 toward the ground and does not show to the user the vicinity of the opening 6a is transparent so that the inside of the bag can be easily seen, and the part other than the vicinity of the opening 6a, that is, the abdomen 20 is visible. Only the part that will appear may be translucent.

  After the process of (0045) or (0046) described above, when the insect 9 advances in the depth direction 10 of the catching bag, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening 3a of the cylindrical bag 3 containing the insect 9 and the insect The portion between the 9 and the part where the 9 is located is fastened with the clip 18a to close the mouth. At this time, since the length L2 of the closing portion of the clip to be used is formed to be longer than the lateral width L1 of the cylindrical bag 3, the opening portion 3a of the cylindrical bag 3 is spaced by the clip 18a. It can be completely closed.

  In the above-described process (0048) in which the insect 9 is confined in the cylindrical bag 3, the clip 18a is used instead of the bare hand. This eliminates the need to indirectly hold the insect 9 contained therein by hand from the top of the bag so as not to escape, thereby preventing the user from feeling uncomfortable.

  After trapping the insect 9 in the cylindrical bag 3 with the clip 18a, two choices are possible: letting the insect 9 escape to the outside, and discarding the insect 9 together with the capture bag 6 in a trash can. It is.

  First, when performing the selection of letting the insects 9 live out, the capture bag 6 in which the insects 9 are confined is taken out in the state of the catcher 7 equipped with the capture bag, or the insects 9 Only the trapped capture bag 6 is removed from the frame 14 and taken out alone.

  Even in the process of taking the capture bag out of the room (0051), since the clip 18a has not been removed yet, it is not necessary to hold the insect 9 by hand from the top of the capture bag 6.

  When the user goes out of the room, the clip 18a that has trapped the insect 9 is removed. As a result, a mouth similar to that before the clip 18a is fastened can be formed again in the catching bag 6, so that the insect 9 escapes into the outdoor space by using it as an outlet.

  Unlike the case of (0053), even if the clip 18a is removed and the exit is made, if the worm 9 still remains inside the catch bag 6, it should be aimed at the place where the worm 9 stays in the catch bag 6. The insect 9 is struck from the top of the bag with the clip 18a so as to hit the tip 19 of the clip. Thereby, the insect 9 can be escaped to the outside without touching the place where the insect 9 of the capture bag 6 is located by hand, and the user is not uncomfortable.

  Through the above (0053) or (0054), the used catching bag 6 after the insect 9 comes out can be used repeatedly. However, if you feel sanitary discomfort, you can dispose of it and replace it with a new one.

  When the other option described in the above (0050) is selected to dispose the insect 9 together with the capture bag 6 in a trash can, the capture bag 6 attached with the rubber string 5a is first removed from the frame 14. . At this time, the clip 18a is not removed, and the insect 9 is kept trapped therein.

  The removed capture bag 6 can be thrown away into a trash box or the like. However, if the clip 18a is to be reused without being discarded, the remaining capture portion 6 of the rubber cord 5a is used to capture the capture bag 6 containing the insects 9. Then, the clip 18a that has been fastened is removed and collected. As a result, the remaining portion 8 of the rubber cord 5a can be used as a substitute for the clip 18a.

  As described in (0044), the cylindrical bag 3 constituting the capture bag 6 in which the insects 9 are confined has a small internal space and therefore has less air. In addition, since the mouth is closed by the remaining portion 8 of the clip 18a and the rubber strap 5a, the insect 9 can be suffocated and killed without using a medicine by allowing a certain period of time to elapse.

  In the entire process up to here, the insect 9 is directly touched only in the replaceable catching bag 6 of the catching device 7 with the catching bag. The insects 9 do not directly touch the frame 14, the handle 16, and the clip 18 a that can be used repeatedly semipermanently, which is hygienic.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.・ Change is possible.
