DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, the cockroach trap of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective explanatory view showing an embodiment of the cockroach trap of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state where the cockroach trap of FIG. 1 is developed, and FIG. 3 is a view of the cockroach trap of FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a cockroach trap showing another embodiment of the cockroach trap of the present invention.
[0016]
The cockroach trap shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is one in which a pattern 9 is provided on almost the entire top surface of the bottom 3 of a conventional separable trap body 1 that has been conventionally employed. Cockroaches can enter the inside of the trap body 1 through the openings 4a and 4b opened in the axial direction and the openings 6a and 6b formed in the side portions 5a and 5b on both sides of the trap body 1. It is like that.
[0017]
If the openings 4a and 4b and the openings 6a and 6b are formed so that the width in the vertical direction is narrow, the cockroaches are well connected to the trap body 1 due to the behavior of cockroaches (the habit of entering into narrow spaces). It is preferable to enter. Particularly preferably, more cockroaches can be captured if the vertical width is about 1 to 3 mm.
[0018]
The trap body 1 is a sheet made by combining paper, plastics, rubber, metal, wood, etc., alone or in combination, in the manner of origami work (the one-dot chain line in FIG. 2 is a valley fold, the broken line is a mountain fold), It is formed so that it may become a hollow body by connecting two top plate 7a, 7b.
[0019]
The size of the trap body 1 is not particularly limited in the present invention. For example, the size of the trap body 1 is about ½ in length, width, and height as compared with a conventional trap. This is preferable because downsizing is achieved.
[0020]
In the present embodiment, the trap body having a flat trapezoidal cross section is described as an example, but the shape of the trap body 1 is not particularly limited in the present invention. Shape, rectangular, triangular or polygonal, semicircular,
Alternatively, a cylindrical body or a box-like body having a square shape can be employed.
[0021]
The adhesive part 2 shown in FIG. 3 has a pattern 9 formed on the upper surface of the bottom part 3 of the trap body 1 by printing or the like, and an adhesive substance is applied to the entire upper surface of the bottom part 3 to form an adhesive layer 10. It is a thing. The adhesive portion 2 is protected by a release paper (not shown) during storage and transport, and the adhesive portion 2 is exposed by peeling the release paper immediately before use, and becomes ready for use.
[0022]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, instead of directly providing the pattern 9 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 on the upper surface of the bottom of the trap body 1, the pattern 9 is provided on the upper surface of a separate sheet-like member, for example, a mount 15, and further the mount If the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 is formed on the upper surface 15 and then the mount 15 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom of the catcher body 1, it becomes easier to manufacture.
[0023]
The adhesive substance applied to the bottom 3 is transparent or translucent, and is non-drying that has adhesiveness at room temperature and has no fluidity at room temperature. Absent. For example, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyisobutylene, polybutene, atactic polypropylene and other liquid polymers, tackifying resins such as petroleum resins, etc., alone or in the presence or absence of a solvent as appropriate. It can be applied by heating or mixed in a latex or emulsion state. In particular, a combination of a styrene-butadiene block polymer and / or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a tackifier resin, a plasticizer, a combination of polyisobutylene, liquid polybutene, and atactic polypropylene can be heated and mixed in a solvent-free system. From the standpoint of workability as well as adhesive properties, it can be applied as it is. The viscosity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the bottom 3 with these materials may be any pressure-sensitive adhesive material measured by a measurement method according to JIS K-6833 (1980) and between 2500 and 3300 P at 130 ° C.
[0024]
The pattern 9 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is visually recognized by two actions: (1) making cockroaches captured by the adhesive part 2 inconspicuous, and (2) the lens action of the adhesive. If it is possible to make it easy to do, various patterns can be adopted.
[0025]
For example, the pattern 9 shown in FIG. 2 has a plurality of line portions 9a, a loop portion 9b, a corner display portion 9c, a dot portion 9d, and an attracting agent positioning portion 9e so as to achieve the two actions. It is composed of
[0026]
The plurality of line portions 9a shown in FIG. 2 are made up of a group of curves arranged in parallel, and are the portions that most exhibit both the action of making the cockroach inconspicuous and the action of making the unpainted portion easy to see. The line portion 9a may be not only a group of curves arranged in parallel, but also a group of straight lines that are not parallel or parallel. Furthermore, you may comprise the line part 9a in a grid | lattice form. That is, in the present specification, “a plurality of lines” is not particularly limited in thickness and shape, and may be a thin line, a medium thick line, and a thick line alone or in combination, or a straight line and a wavy line alone or in combination. There may be a solid line, a chain line, and a wavy line alone or in combination. Further, it may be a bundle of lines described above, or there may be two or more kinds of bundles of different types of lines (for example, a bundle of solid lines and a bundle of chain lines).
[0027]
Further, the pattern 9 is composed of a continuous or intermittent semicircular shape, a rectangular shape, a semicircular shape, a rectangular pattern, an elliptical pattern, or the like. By arranging in part, cockroaches captured by the adhesive part 2 can be made less noticeable.
[0028]
Furthermore, if the pattern 9 employs a pattern having color shading, it is possible to make it easier to visually recognize the unpainted portion.
[0029]
Further, since the loop portion 9b shown in FIG. 2 is arranged along the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the region to which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 is applied, the unpainted portion in the peripheral portion of the region of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 is further visually confirmed. It can be made easier.
[0030]
Moreover, since the corner display portions 9c shown in FIG. 2 are arranged at the four corners of the area where the adhesive layer 10 is applied, it is possible to make the unpainted portions at the four corners of the adhesive layer 10 more visible. .
[0031]
The effect of making cockroaches less conspicuous by making the pattern 9 have a three-dimensional shadow, for example, by thickening the edge of a wide line and making the center thin. Can do.
[0032]
Furthermore, the attractant positioning part 9e is useful for easy and accurate positioning of an attractant (not shown) that attracts cockroaches.
[0033]
The cockroach trap configured as described above has a pattern 9 on the upper surface of the bottom of the trap body 1, and the cockroach captured by the adhesive portion 2 is less noticeable by the pattern 9, which makes it uncomfortable. Is reduced.
[0034]
Moreover, since the transparent or translucent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 is formed on the upper surface of the bottom of the trap body 1 in the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion 2, the lens action of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, that is, the portion having the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 and the unpainted portion. Due to the difference in refractive index between the portions, it is possible to quickly check the unpainted portion.
[0035]
In the present embodiment, the pattern 9 shown in FIG. 2 is described as an example of the pattern in the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pattern becomes gradually thinner. Further, it is preferable that the pattern changed in such a manner as to become narrower or thinner is also included in the pattern in the present invention, and that the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer looks uneven by applying the pattern.
[0036]
Moreover, the pattern in the present invention may be colored or achromatic (black, white). Also, as the concentration increases, the captured cockroaches may become less noticeable, reducing discomfort. Furthermore, the color may be the same as the body surface of the cockroach (brown, brown, black, or a color close to them) to reduce discomfort.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, discomfort due to cockroaches after capture can be reduced. Therefore, it becomes easy to move the used trap or to discard the used trap. Especially for women who don't like cockroaches, it's easier to throw away the catcher by themselves, because there is no resistance to touching the catcher.
[0038]
In addition, it is possible to quickly check the unpainted portion of the adhesive portion. Therefore, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be applied without being left behind. As a result, cockroach capture performance is greatly improved.
