Description

  The present invention relates to an animal capture cage suitable for capturing harmful animals, particularly small and medium-sized wild animals such as rats, hares, raccoons, weasels and martens.

  Conventionally, as a trap for trapping wild harmful animals such as spiders and spiders, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, there is one made of a relatively large wire (bar).

  The capture rod made of this wire has the advantage that the wire itself can be easily processed, can be made relatively lightweight, and can be easily assembled, so that various other functions can be easily added.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-52005

  Depending on the wild animal, the range of movement is not fixed, and the capture position must be changed frequently. In order to change the capture position, it is often necessary to move the capture rod.

  When such a necessity is required, the wire trap described in Patent Document 1 has a relatively light overall weight. Therefore, it has been attempted to use it as a moving object. However, wire traps are disadvantageous in that they are difficult to move and inconvenient in the field because they are bulky against the fact that they are light.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is suitable for the capture of wire-made animal traps, especially wild animals of small to medium size, which can eliminate the bulkiness of movement without deteriorating its function. It is to provide a trap.

  The animal trap of the present invention is an animal trap with a front surface, rear surface, top surface, bottom surface, and left and right side surfaces that support the shutter so that the shutter can be moved up and down. Bottom and bottom front, rear bottom and bottom bottom, left side bottom and bottom left side, left side top and top left side, right side bottom and bottom right side, and right side top side The right side of the upper surface is foldably connected to each other, and the front surface, the rear surface, the upper surface, and the left and right side surfaces can be folded so as to overlap the bottom surface.

  The animal trap cage of the present invention can be folded so that the front, rear, top and left and right sides overlap each other on the bottom, so that it can be easily carried and transported, and the storage volume is reduced and the storage space is reduced. Less is enough.

  When assembling and using, parts for assembling are not necessary, and the assembly can be completed in a short time, and the installation at the site can be simplified.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the front and rear fixing hooks are removed when the animal trap shown in FIG. 1 is folded. The state which folded the front surface and the rear surface on the bottom face in the process of folding the animal trap of FIG. 1 is shown. The process of folding the animal trap of FIG. 1 is shown.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on examples shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 1 illustrates an assembled animal trap according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a simplified state where the shutter is raised in FIG.

  The main body of the trap shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is composed of a front surface 1, a rear surface 2, an upper surface 3, a bottom surface 4, and left and right side surfaces 5, 6, and the outer shape seen from the front surface forms a trapezoid. The dimensions are: width = (upper bottom portion: 240 mm, lower bottom portion = 290 mm), height = 290 mm, and length = 650 mm.

  The front surface 1, the rear surface 2, the upper surface 3, the bottom surface 4, and the left and right side surfaces 5, 6 are each composed of a combination of planes in which wires (number 12 line, diameter 2.6 mm) are arranged in a grid pattern. And the front side of the bottom surface 4, the bottom side of the rear surface 2 and the rear side of the bottom surface 4, the bottom side of the left side surface 5 and the left side of the bottom surface 4, the top side of the left side surface 5 and the left side of the top surface 5, the bottom side of the right side surface 6 and the right side of the bottom surface 4. The upper side of the right side surface 6 and the right side of the upper surface 3 are connected to each other so as to be freely bent. In this embodiment, the bottom surface 4 is formed in such a shape that the left side and the right side rise slightly, and the bottom side of the left side surface 5 and the bottom side of the right side surface 6 are respectively formed on the left side and right side of the raised bottom surface 4. It is connected so that it can be bent.

  Specifically, as shown by reference numeral 7 in FIG. 2, the above-mentioned sides are connected so as to be foldable by bending a wire at the tip of one side so as to surround the other side. That is, the connection part 7 is comprised by the connection of the wires which comprise each surface (each side). The configuration for foldable connection is not limited to the above configuration, and other members such as a hinge may be used. However, the above configuration that does not require other members is simple and preferable.

  A shutter 8 is supported on the front surface 1 so as to be movable up and down. The shutter 8 is composed of a plane in which wires (number 12, diameter 2.6 mm) are arranged in a lattice like the front surface 1. A shutter lock 9 is attached to the upper end of the shutter 8 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction.

  Fixing hooks 10 and 11 are provided on the upper portions of the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2, respectively. These fixing hooks 10 and 11 are formed in a gate shape, and are attached along the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 so as to be movable up and down. The fixing hooks 10 and 11 are formed so that the hooks 10a and 11a at the tips of the fixing hooks 10 and 11 can be hooked and removed from the front side and the rear side of the upper surface 3 by moving them up and down, respectively.

  A food hook 12 is suspended from the upper surface 3 so as to be swingable back and forth and right and left. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, by bending the proximal end portion 12 a of the hook for hook 12 so as to surround the wire 3 a constituting the upper surface 3, the hook 12 for hanging the hook is moved back and forth on the upper surface 3. It is suspended so that it can swing left and right. Further, the base end of the hook 13 is connected to the base end portion 12 a of the hook 12 for hooking the food. The tacking rod 13 is attached to the upper surface 3 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction along the wire 3a on the upper surface 3 in a state where the proximal end is connected to the proximal end portion 12a of the hook 12 for hooking food. An L-shaped connecting rod 14 is disposed between the middle portion 12 b of the food hook 12 and the wire 3 a on the upper surface 3. The base end of the connecting rod 14 is attached to the wire 3 a on the upper surface 3 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and the tip of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the midway portion 12 b of the food hook 12.

  The upper surface 3 is provided with a holding portion 15 that holds the food hook 12 along the upper surface 3. The holding portion 15 is composed of a rod whose base end is fixed to the wire on the upper surface 3, and the tip portion of the hook for hooking food 12 is sandwiched between the rod and the upper surface 3, whereby the hook for hooking food 12 is placed on the upper surface 3. Hold along.

  In the above configuration, when capturing a wild animal, the shutter 8 is held in a raised state as shown in FIG. That is, the device rod 13 is moved forward so that its tip 13a protrudes forward from the shutter 8, and the left and right wire 8a constituting the shutter 8 is hooked on the tip 13a of the device rod 13, thereby the shutter 8 Is kept in a raised state. In this state, when a wild animal enters the catch cage and grabs the food attached to the feed hook 12 and comes out of the catch cage, the tip of the feed hook 12 is pulled forward. Accordingly, the base end portion of the hook for hook 12 moves backward, and the hook rod 13 moves backward. As a result, the tip 13a of the setting rod 13 and the wire 8a of the shutter 8 are not caught, and the shutter 8 falls due to its own weight and closes the opening of the front surface 1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the shutter lock 9 attached to the upper end of the shutter 8 rubs against the wire 1 a arranged on the left and right above the opening of the front surface 1 in the middle of dropping of the shutter 8. When the wire 1a on the front surface 1 passes the wire 1a, it swings backward due to its own weight and is caught by the wire 1a on the front surface 1 (FIG. 3 (c)). As a result, the shutter 8 is locked and the animal in the capture cage does not open even if it tries to open the shutter 8, so that the animal is captured in the capture cage.

  Next, the procedure for folding the capture basket according to this embodiment will be described. The process of the procedure is shown in FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the fixing hooks 10, 11 provided on the upper portions of the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 are raised to release the hooks with the front and rear sides of the upper surface 3. The rear surface 2 is folded inward so as to overlap the bottom surface 4 (FIGS. 5 and 6A). In FIG. 5, the shutter supported on the front surface 1 is omitted. Next, after holding the food hook 12 along the upper surface 3 by the holding portion 15 (FIG. 5), the storage hook 16 is provided with a frame made up of the upper surface 3 and the left and right side surfaces 5 and 6. Tilt down toward the right side (FIG. 6B). Thereafter, the right side surface 6 is pushed back to the left side while pushing the left side surface 5 toward the bottom surface 4 (FIG. 6C). Further, the right side surface 6 is pushed toward the left side and folded so that the right side surface 6 overlaps the bottom surface 4. As a result, the front surface 1, the rear surface 2, the top surface 3, and the left and right side surfaces 5, 6 are folded so as to overlap the bottom surface 4, and finally the storage hook 16 is hooked on the wire constituting the left side surface and folded. It fixes to the state (FIG.6 (d)). The volume of the folded state is about 1/6 of the volume at the time of assembly, so that it can be easily carried and transported and the storage space can be reduced.

  In the above-described folding process, the catch rod of the present embodiment is formed so that the horizontal width of the top surface 3 is smaller than the horizontal width of the bottom surface 4 and forms a trapezoid when viewed from the front side. When the frame composed of the upper surface 3 and the left and right side surfaces 5 and 6 is folded so as to overlap the bottom surface 4 in the manner described above, the bottom surface 4 has a sufficient width in the left and right direction, and can be folded without any trouble. . Further, as described above, the bottom surface 4 is formed in such a shape that the left side and the right side rise slightly, and the bottom side of the left side surface 5 and the bottom side of the right side surface 6 are respectively formed on the left side and right side of the raised bottom surface 4. Since the front and back surfaces 2 and 2 are folded so as to overlap the bottom surface 4, the left and right side surfaces 5 and 6 can be folded without any problem with respect to the bottom surface 4.

  Next, a procedure for unfolding and assembling the capture trap folded as shown in FIG. First, the frame composed of the upper surface 3 and the left and right side surfaces 5 and 6 is raised in a procedure reverse to the procedure shown in FIG. 6 to obtain the state shown in FIGS. 5 and 6A. Next, the hook 12 for hooking the food is removed from the holding portion 15 and suspended from the upper surface 3, and the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 are raised. Before the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 rise vertically, the fixing hooks 10 and 11 are pulled up, respectively. Then, while the fixing hooks 10 and 11 are pulled up, the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 are raised vertically, and the fixing hooks 10 and 11 are pushed down. As a result, the fixing hooks 10 and 11 are hooked on the front side and the rear side of the upper surface 3, respectively, and the front surface 1 and the rear surface 2 are fixed in a vertically rising state. Thereby, it will be in the assembly state of FIG. When capturing a wild animal, as described above, the shutter 8 is raised and the shutter 8 is hooked on the tip 13a of the setting rod 13 to obtain the state shown in FIG. As described above, the capture rod of the present invention does not require any parts for assembling and can be assembled in a short time (about 30 seconds), and can be easily set up on site.
