Description

  The present invention relates to an insect trapping tool for a tree in which a main body is wound around a trunk of a tree and an insect is captured by an adhesive means provided on the main body, and a method for using the same.

  Conventionally, the main body is wrapped around the trunk of the tree and left unattended, and the insect that has climbed the tree enters the main body from the opening formed between the lower part of the main body and the tree skin, An insect trapping tool for trees that is brought into contact with the provided adhesive portion and captures the adhesive is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

From the viewpoint of ease of carrying and mounting, such a prosthetic device mount is made of a soft material such as tape or film, with a thin coating of adhesive on one side, and a release paper on it. Many things were pasted.
However, thinly coated adhesives tend to cause a so-called “cold catch” phenomenon due to a decrease in adhesive strength due to moisture or dust adhering to the adhesive surface, or curing of the adhesive due to thin coating, Even when release paper is used, solvent-based adhesives are often used as adhesives, and when the release paper is removed, the solvent evaporates and the adhesives harden, resulting in the same phenomenon as above. Often occurred.
In this way, when the “cold catch” phenomenon occurs, the adhesive strength decreases, so the effect of the insects is destroyed, and even if it is set on a tree, it must be frequently replaced with a new one. The prosthetic device was unsuitable for long-term outdoor use, which is highly influenced by the surrounding environment.

For this reason, in order to use the prosthetic tool outdoors for a long period of time, it is necessary to apply a thick adhesive with strong adhesion and weather resistance to the mount. Because it is strong, if it is applied to a soft backing, the adhesive may accidentally adhere to each other or the adhesive may adhere to other members due to the flexibility of the backing, and if the adhesive is applied thickly Since the viscosity increases, there is a problem that the release paper cannot be pasted.
In addition, if an adhesive with high adhesive strength is used, it is difficult to remove it once it has been adhered by mistake due to its high adhesiveness, so if it adheres to surrounding members or hands during transportation or installation on trees. Often destroys the body of the prosthesis, or adheres to the body, hindering the performance of the work.Even if a highly adhesive adhesive is used, it is easy to store and carry, There was a need for an insect trap that could be installed easily.

JP-A-7-87

  An object of the present invention is to provide an insect trapping tool for trees that can be used outdoors, is all-weather type, can be easily maintained for a long period of time, and a method for using the trapping tool. It is in.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the insect trapping tool for trees according to the present invention is an insect trapping tool for catching insects that are installed on a tree trunk or the like and attached to the tree, and the left and right sides of the base mount A side mount is connected to at least one side of the base mount via a town, and the base mount is provided with an adhesive member for catching insects on the front surface, and the upper part is outward in the adhesive member. The facing spacer member is disposed, and folded frame pieces are formed on the upper and lower sides through folds, respectively, and the folded frame pieces are folded on the same front surface. An adhesive member for catching insects is disposed on the front surface of the side mount that is on the same side as the front surface of the base mount, and folded frame pieces are formed on the upper and lower sides through folds, respectively. Is folded on the front of the side mount, and the side mount is on the front of the base mount. The spacer is folded at a constant interval, and the back of the base mount and the side mount has a large number of half-cut lines engraved in parallel in the town direction between the base mount and the side mount. When installing on a tree trunk, the side mount is opened, the mounting surface of the adhesive member is opposed to the tree trunk, and the base mount and the side mount are the thickness of the tree trunk. The upper part of the spacer member is brought into contact with the surface of the trunk while being bent by a half-cut line in accordance with the above, and the base mount located on the upper side of the trunk and the end of the side mount are brought into substantially contact with the trunk and wound. At the same time, the winding portion is fixed to the tree trunk by a predetermined fixing means, and insects attached to the tree are captured.

  The side mount connected to the base mount may be connected to one of the left side or the right side of the base mount via a town as desired, or connected to both the left side and the right side via a town. May be set up.

  The width of the town provided between the base mount and the side mount is larger than the dimension obtained by adding the maximum thickness of the two adhesive members provided on the base mount and the side mount, respectively. Thus, when the insect trap is not used, the adhesive member near the town of the side mount folded on the base mount and the adhesive member of the base mount are prevented from contacting each other.

The base mount is provided with an adhesive member for capturing insects on the front surface, and the adhesive member only needs to be capable of adhering insects at least. It is better to avoid things.
Also, the adhesive member can be installed in such a way that an adhesive or the like is applied directly on the base mount, or an adhesive is applied on a base made of a sheet or the like by a fixing means such as a double-sided tape on the base mount. It may be fixed.

  The spacer member disposed in the adhesive member on the base mount is held by the adhesive force of the adhesive member, and the adhesive member can enter the spacer member so that the spacer member can be held more stably. It may be.

Further, the spacer member functions to prevent the adhesive member of the side mount folded on the base mount and the adhesive member of the base mount from contacting when the insect trap is in the storage state, For this reason, the thickness dimension of the spacer member is larger than the dimension obtained by adding the maximum thickness dimension of the two adhesive members provided on the base mount and the side mount, respectively.
The spacer member functions so that an appropriate gap is opened between the surface of the tree and the adhesive member surface at the lower part of the insect trap when the insect trap is installed on the tree and in use. .

As an example, the spacer member is formed from a synthetic resin material such as polystyrene foam or plastic, or a rubber material such as elastomer, and is preferably formed using a material that can walk without bugs slipping.
Further, when the insect trap is arranged on a tree by arranging a flexible material on the upper surface of the spacer member, the degree of adhesion between the upper surface of the spacer member and the surface of the tree may be improved.

And the folding frame pieces formed through the folds on the upper and lower sides respectively, the adhesive member near the upper and lower sides of the side mount folded on the base mount and the base when the insect trap is unused It prevents the adhesive member of the mount from contacting, and functions together with the folded frame piece of the side mount.
In addition, when using the insect trap, when opening the folded frame piece from the state where it is folded on the front surface of the base mount as necessary, at least open the folded frame piece until it is parallel to the base mount. To be able to.
Moreover, it is good not to arrange | position an adhesive member in the site | part by which the folding frame piece on a base mount is folded up.

The side mount has an adhesive member disposed on the front surface of the side mount in the same manner as the base mount described above, and the adhesive member is only required to be capable of adhering insects. Therefore, it is desirable to avoid solvent-based ones.
In addition, the adhesive member can be installed in such a manner that an adhesive or the like is applied directly on the base mount, or an adhesive applied on the base made of a sheet or the like is fixed on the side mount such as a double-sided tape. It may be fixed by.

And the folding frame pieces formed through the folds on the upper and lower sides respectively, the adhesive member near the upper and lower sides of the side mount folded on the base mount and the base when the insect trap is unused It prevents the adhesive member of the mount from coming into contact, and functions together with the above-described folding frame piece of the base mount.
In addition, when using the insect trap, when opening the folded frame piece from the state where it is folded on the front surface of the base mount as necessary, at least open the folded frame piece until it is parallel to the base mount. To be able to.
Moreover, it is good not to arrange | position an adhesive member in the site | part by which the folding frame piece on a base mount is folded up.

  Further, the side mount is folded on the front surface of the base mount via a spacer member arranged in the adhesive member of the base mount, and at least a part of the side mount that contacts the spacer member is adhesive. It is good not to arrange the member.

And as a concrete form of the adhesive member provided on the base mount and the side mount, it may be a flat shape, but it forms an uneven or corrugated shape in which peaks and valleys are continuous in the vertical direction of the mount. The insects can be adhered to the adhesive by lengthening the time for the insects to move on the adhesive part, and even if dust in the air is blown into the insect trap by wind, It is desirable to limit the adhesive function so that the entire adhesive surface does not lose its adhesive function.
Further, it is preferable that the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion is thick so that the adhesive effect of the pressure-sensitive adhesive continues.

  The half-cut line engraved on the back of the base mount and the side mount is provided to facilitate the folding of the mount in accordance with the thickness of a tree trunk, etc. Therefore, the depth of the cut engraved in the thickness direction of the mount may be appropriately selected.

  The material of the base mount and the side mount is not particularly limited, but it is advantageous to use cardboard for the engraving of the half cut line.

  The interval at which the half-cut line is engraved varies depending on the material of the mount. For example, if it is very easy to break, such as styrene material, the interval will be narrow, and if it is cardboard or resin, etc. It is carved at appropriate intervals according to the thickness of the trees to be made.

  To install this insect trap on the trunk, open the side mount, and if necessary, open each fold frame piece so that the surface of the adhesive member faces the tree, and adjust the base mount and side mount to the thickness of the trunk. The upper part of the spacer member is brought into contact with the surface of the trunk while being bent along the half-cut line, and the base mount located on the upper side of the trunk and the end of the side mount are brought into substantially contact with the trunk and wound. A winding part is fixed to a tree trunk, for example with adhesive tapes, such as a gum tape, or a binding band.

In some cases, a perforation extending from the left end to the right end of the mount is provided in the center of the base mount and the side mount so that the insect trap can be divided into two.
Furthermore, an appropriate number of perforations may be provided in the left-right direction and the up-down direction of the mount so that the insect trap can be divided into three or more divisions in the vertical direction, or in two or more divisions in the left and right directions.

  There may be a case where a perforation is provided at the boundary between one side of the side mount and the adhesive so that the side of the perforation can be cut off during use.

  In addition to the spacer member placed in the adhesive member on the base mount, a spacer member for attachment of a predetermined size that can be placed in the adhesive member of the base mount or side mount is prepared, and this insect trap is installed on the trunk. In doing so, it may be used as desired together with a spacer member disposed in the adhesive member for forming a gap between the trunk and the lower part of the insect trap.

The thickness dimension and material of this attachment spacer member may be the same as the spacer member arranged in the adhesive member, but when enclosing the insect trapping tool on the tree trunk, You may make it usable also for correction | amendment of the clearance gap formation between a tree trunk and an insect trap lower part.
Of course, the shape and the like are not particularly limited. For example, the shape may be a polygonal shape in a plan view or a complicated shape such as a crystal shape of snow with arms extended in the centrifugal direction.

  According to the insect trapping tool for trees of the present invention and the method of using the trapping device, since the insect trapping adhesive member is placed inside the tree in a skirt shape, rain is directly applied to the surface of the adhesive. In addition, even when dust in the air blows into the insect trap by wind, the adhesion of the dust can be greatly reduced, so that the adhesive function of the adhesive is maintained and the effect of the insect trap is maintained over a long period of time. can do.

  In addition, when the insect trap is not used, the adhesive surface of the adhesive member can be protected without using a protective sheet, so the amount of dust generated from the insect trap when using the insect trap is reduced. It can also contribute to ecology.

  The one that can divide the insect trapping tool into two parts is, for example, divided and installed in two places on the tree, or the one divided part is wound around the trunk of the tree with the adhesive side facing outward, Place the other side of the tree with the adhesive side facing inward, like a skirt, on the trunk of the tree. At the same time, install the other side with the adhesive side facing outwards, and capture insects that are above the tree and catch the insects descending from it before installing the insect trap. Variations in form can be increased.

  In addition, when the perimeter is provided at the boundary between one side of the side mount and the adhesive, the side with the perforation is cut off during use and the other side is overlapped from the outside. By matching, the inner surface of the mount can be uniformly covered with an adhesive.

  And, if the attachment spacer member to be installed later in the adhesive member is attached, the attachment spacer member is appropriately arranged in the adhesive member, so that the tree can be climbed up and Insects that have entered just below the mount or the side mount can be easily guided to the adhesive surface of the adhesive member via the attached spacer member.
