Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a trap for capturing small animals such as snakes and arthropods such as crabs, and to an opening / closing door provided at an entrance for attracting prey.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional traps for trapping snakes have been devised in various ways so that if prey enters, it cannot escape to the outside. One that has been developed is one in which the door closes when a prey comes in, such as by a spring mechanism, or one in which a return door that allows entry only in one direction is provided (Jitsuko Sho 63-22860).

When the door is closed during capturing, the exit is completely closed, so the captured prey does not escape, but only one animal can be captured at a time. Also, the door must be opened and set again each time it is captured.

The one provided with a return door can continuously catch the prey, but the opening and closing door has a lattice-shaped gate or the like, and it is difficult to see the bait for the bird that is set inside. . Also, because the animals to be captured can easily and lightly open this door, the door will be small, and in order to improve the capture efficiency, many entrances must be provided, which is complicated and costly. There are many problems such as high cost.

[0005] In recent years, in Okinawa prefecture, catchers dedicated to hubs have been used in each municipality. This trap is shown in FIG. (1) is an overall perspective view, (2) is a front view seen from the entrance, and (3) is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line BB.

The trap has a box shape with a low height, and four side surfaces thereof serve as entrances 30, and an aluminum net 31 is stretched in a "dogleg" shape from above and below to form an opening / closing door. . A root 32 is attached to the upper part of the net, and a net-shaped porcelain container 33, in which a rat 33a for a bird is contained, is hung at the center thereof. A wire mesh 34 is stretched on the bottom surface of the trap. Reference numeral 35 is a triangular plate-shaped frame.

Since the aluminum net 31 is soft and has a small diameter so that it cannot be seen as a hub, the inner net 33a invites the aluminum net 31 to push the tip 31a of the open / close door up and down. Open and invade inside. When the hub enters the inside, it cannot be escaped to the outside because the aluminum net 31 is diagonally stretched in a "dogleg" shape. The trap can be used continuously by the hub from any of four directions.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the open / close door of this trap is an aluminum net 31, repeated use causes the mesh to expand and the open / close end 31a opens in places as shown in FIG. It opens. If the aluminum net 31 is strongly stretched, the hub cannot be pushed in because the hub is pushed open and cannot be penetrated. According to the intelligence and visual acuity of the hub, it is said that it is not possible to find this gap 36 because the mesh 31 has a "doglegged" shape, but by accident, the head of the hub reaches this gap 36. Since it is possible for them to escape, it is necessary to exercise caution when capturing them, and they cannot be used safely.

[0009] Instead of aluminum, a net made of stainless steel or galvanized steel having a small wire diameter may be used, but since it is a soft net, it will still open after repeated use several times. It takes time and effort to restore it to its original state because it has to be removed, pressed flat and then reattached. It is difficult to put it back in place. A rubber net can be used, but it cannot be used because it may be bitten.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to easily push open and invade a prey in the opening / closing door of the entrance provided in the trap, and the prey can be entered. This is done to realize a trap entry door that can be used with peace of mind, as it can be surely closed in its original state once it has entered.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As shown in FIG. 2, the first aspect of the present invention is an opening / closing door 2 provided at an entrance of a trap 1 for catching a prey, wherein the opening / closing door 2 is a soft mesh and the elastic material coating 3 is It is the entrance door of the trap that has been applied.

The opening / closing door 2 may be any one as long as it has a soft mesh shape, and may be, for example, a metal mesh or a resin mesh having a fine mesh with a thin wire rod. Further, the elastic material to be coated may be any material as long as it can exert elasticity on the net when applied, for example, liquid silicone rubber or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second aspect of the present invention is an entrance door of a trap in which an elastic material coating 3 is applied to the opening / closing end 4 of the opening / closing door 2 made of soft mesh. The coating may be applied to the opening / closing end portion 4 of the conical opening / closing door 2 in a band shape, for example, as shown in FIGS.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a trap having an elastic material coating 3 applied to the fixing portion 5 of the opening / closing door 2 made of soft net to the trap body. It is an entry door. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (2) and 2 (3), the coating may be applied in a band shape on the fixing portion 5 between the conical opening / closing door 2 and the bottom peripheral portion of the main body of the trap 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fourth aspect of the present invention is an entrance door of a trap in which the elastic material coating 3 is applied in a strip shape in the length direction of the opening / closing door 2 made of soft mesh. The coating is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (2) and 2 (3), applied in the lengthwise direction of the conical opening / closing door 2, that is, on the vertical lattice frame portion 6 in the form of a strip in the direction of the slope. But good.

[0016]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the opening / closing door 2 provided at the entrance of the trap 1 for catching the prey, the opening / closing door 2 has a soft mesh shape and the elastic material coating 3 is applied. With the net-like shape, the transparency is good, and it is easy to confirm the Otori 11 such as a rat in the Otori container 10 inside. Further, since the opening / closing door 2 is made of a soft net, the prey can easily be pushed open to enter the opening / closing door 2 and the opening / closing door 2 opened by the elastic material coating 3 is surely closed, and the gap 36 can be formed even after repeated use. (Fig. 5) does not open.

When the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the open / close end 4 of the open / close door 2 made of soft mesh as in claim 2, for example, as shown in FIG. When the open / close end 4 of the conical open / close door 2 is pushed inward, the strip-shaped elastic material coating 3 applied to the open / close end 4 bends, but tries to return to its original state due to the elastic force. Therefore, when the pushing open force is released, the opening / closing door 2 returns to its original position and the opening 20 is closed.

As shown in FIG. 3 (2), also in the case of the opening / closing door 17 of the “doglegged” type mesh body, similarly, the strip-shaped elastic material coating 3 applied to the opening / closing end portion 4 is bent, The open / close end 4 is always closed because it returns to its original position due to the elastic force.

When the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the fixing portion 5 of the opening / closing door 2 made of soft mesh to the main body of the trap 1 as in claim 3, when the opening / closing door 2 is wide open Even if the net bends in the vicinity of the fixed portion 5 due to the odor, the original state is restored due to the elastic force, so that the open / close door 2 is securely closed.

When the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the opening / closing door 2 made of soft mesh in a strip shape in the length direction, the opening / closing door 2 is pushed and opened in the longitudinal direction. Since the strip-shaped elastic material coating 3 applied to the flexible member 3 bends, the elastic force exerts a restoring force, and when the pushing open force is removed, the opening / closing door naturally returns and closes.

[0021]

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment will be used to explain how the trap door of the present invention is actually embodied. 1 and 2 are views showing an example of an entrance door of a trap according to the present invention, which is an embodiment when the entrance door of the present invention is used for a hub trap. FIG. 1 (1) is a front view and FIG. 1 (2) is a plan view. 2 (1) is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 (2), and FIG. 2 (2) is a front view of the conical side net (opening / closing door) 2. (3) is a plan view of a conical side net (opening / closing door) 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, this trap is a conical trap with a rounded top and is of the so-called UFO type. It has a diameter of about 50 cm and a height of about 30 cm.

In the structure of this trap, nets 2 and 14 are attached to the inner and bottom surfaces of a conical lattice frame 9 having an open top, and a resin cover 8 is attached to the upper portion of the outer surface. ing. As shown in FIG. 2 (1), an Ottori container 10 is suspended inside, and a lid 7 is attached to the top. In the side net 2, the lower end peripheral portion 5 is fixed to the lattice frame 9, and the upper end portion 4 coincides with the lower end surface of the cover 8 and serves as an entrance for prey. Further, the bottom surface is made of wire mesh, and four leg portions 9a also serving as handles for carrying are provided.

As shown in FIG. 2 (1), the Otori container 10 is provided with an oblique partition plate 18 inside a cylindrical container, and the water container 13 and the rat that is the Otori 11 are provided above the partition plate 18. The bait 12 is installed. Further, the bottom net 14 is attached with a sturdy steel net having a mesh that does not allow the hub to escape, and has a wire diameter of about 0.5 mm and a mesh of about 5 mm.

The side net 2 is a metal net made of aluminum that is soft and has a small wire diameter, has good transparency, and makes it easy to see the internal otori 11. The wire diameter is about 0.1 mm, and the mesh is about 1 mm. Since the eyesight of the hub is not so good, the network 2 cannot be recognized. The side net 2 is provided with an elastic material coating 3 on the coating portions shown in FIGS. 2 (2) and 2 (3). That is, a liquid rubber material or the like is applied to the upper end portion 4 of the side net 2, the lower end peripheral portion 5 that is a fixed portion to the lattice frame 9, and the inclined surface portion 6 of the side net that overlaps the vertical lattice portion.

The elastic material coating 3 is preferably transparent and thin such as liquid silicone rubber, and may be, for example, a silicone sealant manufactured by Cemedine Co., Ltd. When applying, it is advisable to apply to the portion of the side net 2 that overlaps with the lattice frame portion, as shown in FIG. 3A, so that the Otori container 10 inside the trap 1 does not become difficult to see.

The catcher 1 is installed in a place where hubs are likely to appear and disappear by putting an otori 11 such as a mouse in an otori container 10 made of a lattice net installed inside. The hub is attracted by the mouse of Otori 11 and approaches the trap 1. The visual acuity of the hub is not so good that the side net 2 cannot be recognized. Therefore, assuming that there is no net, the man approaches the bird 11 and pushes the side net 2 inward to invade the trap 1.

Since the side net 2 is soft, it can be easily pushed open by entering the hub. Since the decoy container 10 is made of wire mesh, it is impossible to eat the mouse, which is the Otori 11, and the body of the hub completely enters the inside of the trap 1 while moving around the cylindrical Otori container 10. When the whole body of the hub enters the inside of the trap 1, the side net 2 is formed into a conical shape, so that the elastic force of the net itself tries to return to the conical shape, and further the elastic material coating 3 is applied. Since this restoring force is reinforced, the opening / closing door 2 at the entrance is securely closed and the hub cannot escape to the outside.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, since the opening / closing end 4 of the side net 2 is provided with the elastic material coating 3, the elastic force against bending of the end 4 is reinforced. The opening 20 is easily closed. Further, since the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the portion of the side net 2 that overlaps the vertical lattice frame, the elastic force against bending of the vertical lattice portion of the side net 2 is reinforced. Furthermore, since the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the fixed portion 5 between the side net 2 and the bottom frame 9b, the restoring force for the overall inward opening of the side net 2 is reinforced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the box-shaped catcher 19, the elastic material coating 3 is applied to the open / close end 4 of the net 17 stretched in a "doglegged" shape, which results in repetition. In use, the restoring force is surely exerted, and even if it is opened by the invasion of the prey, it can be completely closed, so that the gap 36 (FIG. 5) can be prevented from occurring.

Although the present embodiment has been described with respect to the case of being used as the entrance door of the hub-only catcher, any catcher entrance door having an opening / closing return door may be used. You can For example, it can also be used as a trap for turtles such as suppons and arthropods such as crabs.
