Utility model registration No. 3153218

It is important to close the door as quickly as possible in order to capture the fast-moving wildlife. As in Patent Document 1, a conventional trap that swings and closes a door from a horizontal position uses a spring for opening and closing, but one type of urging means cannot close the door in time and wild animals can be caught. There is a concern that it will be missed. Further, in the trap of Patent Document 1, the door is held in a horizontal position to be in an open state. In such an open state, the door protrudes forward from the entrance, so that wild animals may be wary of the protruding door and it may be difficult to enter the cage.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to provide an animal catching device for preventing the escape of wild animals by closing the door quickly.

In order to achieve the above object, the first invention comprises a cage for accommodating wild animals, an opening provided at the end of the cage, and a door rotation shaft provided above the opening. A door that can open and close the opening by rotating around the door rotation axis, a locking means that locks the door in an open state, and an operation when a wild animal invades the inside of the cage. The door is provided with an actuating device for releasing the locking of the locking means, and the door is provided to the first urging means and the opening for applying a urging force in the rotational direction from the open state to the closed state. It is characterized in that it is urged by a second urging means that applies an urging force in a linear direction toward the door.

According to the above configuration, the door is urged by two types of urging means, a first urging means for applying an urging force in the rotational direction and a second urging means for applying an urging force in the linear direction. By the synergistic action of the urging forces, it is possible to close the door more quickly than when one type of urging means is used, and it is possible to prevent the escape of wild animals. Further, by using two types of urging means, it is possible to quickly close the door even from a position where the door is opened at an angle larger than the position where the door is opened by 90 ° (horizontal position). Since the door can be located behind the opening, it is possible to reduce the alertness to the door of wild animals.

A second aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the locking means is installed on the upper part of the cage and locks the door in an open state rotated by 270 ° from the closed state.

Further, the tension springs 10 are attached to the left and right sides of the door 4, respectively.

(Operation of locking means and actuating device)
Next, the operation of the locking means 6 and the actuating device 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.

FIG. 8 shows a locking means 6 and an operating device 7 in a state where the door 4 is locked in an open state. The door 4 is in a position rotated by 270 ° from the closed state, and the lower portion of the door 4 reaches the locking portion 6b. The locking portion 6b protrudes upward from between the wire meshes of the door 4, falls to the left side with the wire mesh hooked, and is locked so as to hold down the door 4. The hook portion 6c has fallen to the left and is hooked on the upper part of the trigger 7e. In the tread 7a connected to the trigger 7e via the traction member 7d, the other end to which the traction member 7d is attached is attracted by the tread holding portion 7c, and the entire tread 7a is slightly lifted from the floor surface of the cage 2. Is.

FIG. 9 shows the locking means 6 and the actuating device 7 when the tread 7a is stepped on. When a wild animal invades the cage 2 and the tread 7a is stepped on, the other end of the tread 7a is detached from the tread holding portion 7c and descends. When the traction member 7d is pulled downward by the descent of the tread plate 7a, the upper part of the trigger 7e connected to the traction member 7d collapses inward of the cage 2. When the trigger 7e falls inward, the hook portion 6c hooked on the upper part of the trigger 7e is disengaged from the trigger 7e.

FIG. 10 shows the locking means 6 and the operating device 7 in a state where the door 4 is unlocked. When the hook portion 6c is disengaged from the trigger 7e, the locking portion 6b cannot keep the door 4 fixed against the urging force, the door 4 is flipped up by the urging force, and the locking portion 6b is caused by the momentum. Rotates and the hook portion 6c rotates. The wire mesh of the door 4 is disengaged from the locking portion 6b, the locking is released, and the door 4 rotates to the closed state. By rotating the locking portion rotating shaft 6a, the actuating device 7 can simultaneously release the locking of the two locking portions 6b and 6b and close the doors 4 and 4 on both sides at the same time.

(Door operation)
Next, the operation when the door 4 rotates from the open state to the closed state will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14.

FIG. 11 shows the door 4 locked in the open state, which is rotated upward by 270 ° from the closed state. In this open state, the door 4 is rotated upward against the urging force of the torsion spring 9. The pressing portion 9c presses the door 4 in the downward rotation direction via the first arm portion 9a of the torsion spring 9, but the rotation is restricted because the door 4 is locked to the locking portion 6b. ing. At this time, the tension spring 10 extends forward from the upper part of the cage 2, is folded back from the first urging means mounting shaft 9b, and extends to the lower part of the door 4 located rearward. Since the tension spring 10 is bent by the first urging means mounting shaft 9b, the urging force on the door 4 is weak in this state.

FIG. 12 shows a state in which the door 4 is released from the locked state and rotated in the closing direction by about 90 ° from the open state. When the locking portion rotating shaft 6a rotates and the locking portion 6b is released from locking, the first arm portion 9a rotates due to the urging force of the torsion spring 9, and the pressing portion 9c moves in the closing direction. Jump up the door 4 vigorously. Since the tension spring 10 is bent by the first urging means mounting shaft 9b, the urging force on the door 4 is still weak even in this state. The lock member 8 moves with the rotation of the door rotation shaft 5 in a state of being sandwiched between the holding portion 5a and the door 4.

FIG. 13 shows a state in which the door 4 is rotated in the closing direction by about 180 ° from the open state. The torsion spring 9 has a strong urging force when it is open at 270 °, and the door 4 can be instantaneously rotated as the door 4 is unlocked as the actuating device 7 operates. Gradually begins to decay, and the urging force is weakened in the state of rotating about 180 ° from the open state to the closing direction. However, in this state, the tension spring 10 which is the second urging means is in a state where the bending by the first urging means mounting shaft 9b is eliminated and the urging force can be exerted.

FIG. 14 shows a state in which the door 4 is rotated and closed. The door 4 is attracted to the opening 3 by the urging force of the tension spring 10 rather than the torsion spring 9 from the state of being rotated by about 180 ° in the closing direction. The lock member 8 moves while being sandwiched between the holding portion 5a and the door 4, but when the door 4 is closed, it falls from between the holding portion 5a and the door 4 due to its own weight, and the slide bar 8a. The door 4 is locked at the lower end of the door 4.

(Composition of bait box)
In the animal catching device 1 configured in this way, a bait box 11 for catching a raccoon can be installed in a cage 2 in order to catch a raccoon in particular among wild animals. The bait box 11 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 15 is composed of three surfaces, two oblong-shaped side surfaces 11a and 11b and one square-shaped side surface 11c. The two oblong side surfaces 11a and 11b are connected to each other on the long side, and the square side surfaces 11c are connected to the two side surfaces 11a and 11b to form a shape like a part of a cube. The three sides 11a, 11b, 11c are wire mesh. One side of the oblong side surface 11a of the bait box 11 abuts on the floor surface of the cage 2 and is rotatably attached to the floor surface. One side of the other oblong-shaped side surface 11b can abut on the side surface of the cage 2. The square side surface 11c can contact the floor surface and the side surface of the cage 2.

The bait box 11 is installed in the cage 2 at the corner between the floor surface and the side surface behind the tread 7a. When the bait box 11 is installed in the cage 2, the bait box 11 is in a state where two surfaces facing the floor surface and the side surface are open. Further, an opening surrounded by the floor surface and the side surface of the oblong rectangular side surface 11a and 11b and the cage 2, and the surface facing the square side surface 11c is a bait box opening having a size that allows the raccoon to insert an arm. It is part 11d. The bait box 11 is installed so that the bait box opening 11d opens toward the opening 3. Since the raccoon is a dexterous animal, the bait A can be grasped by inserting a hand through the bait box opening 11d. By installing such a bait box 11 in the cage 2, it is possible to lure the raccoon into the back of the cage 2 and reliably capture it.

As shown in FIG. 16, the bait box 11 installed in the cage 2 can be opened at the upper part by rotating the elongated rectangular side surface 11a. With the upper part open in this way, the bait A can be easily installed in the back of the bait box 11. After installing the bait A, when the oblong side surface 11a is rotated, as shown in FIG. 17, the bait box 11 and the cage 2 are surrounded by the floor surface and the side surface of the bait A, and the bait box opening is opened. Only 11d opens.

(Action effect)
In the animal catching device 1 configured in this way, the door 4 is urged by two types of urging means: a torsion spring 9 that applies urging force in the rotational direction and a tension spring 10 that applies urging force in the linear direction. Therefore, due to the synergistic action of the urging forces, it is possible to close the door 4 more quickly than when any one of the urging means is used, and it is possible to prevent the wild animals from escaping. Further, by using two types of urging means, it is possible to quickly close the door 4 even from a position where the door 4 is opened at an angle larger than the position where the door 4 is opened by 90 ° (horizontal position). Since the door 4 can be positioned behind the opening 3, it is possible to reduce the alertness of wild animals to the door.
