JP5662799B2 - Insect trap - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an insect trap that is camouflaged as a normal direct luminaire or wall candle holder. Such insect traps are especially applied in restaurants.

  The use of ultraviolet (“UV”) light as a means for attracting insects into traps is well known in the art. UV light is a form of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of between about 100 to 400 nanometers (“nm”). The human eye is unable to detect ultraviolet light, but some animals, including many insects such as bees and flies, can see UV light. UV light is subdivided into three bandwidths: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Sometimes UV-C is called extreme ultraviolet and is characterized by wavelengths between 100 and 280 nm. Sometimes UV-B is called deep ultraviolet and has a wavelength between 280 and 315 nm. UV-A, particularly relevant to the present invention, is sometimes referred to as near ultraviolet and has a wavelength between 315 and 400 nm. All light often referred to as “dark light”, “black light”, or “black light blue” produces UA-A light.

  There are several theories as to why insects are attracted to UA-A light. Insects search for and / or seek food in nature, in vegetation located within shadows and darkness. The way to get out of this environment is to pursue light, especially to pursue UV light. Because it is a component of sunlight. When an insect flies in the direction of an open space from the inside of the vegetation, the insect pursues a bright line gap or a step portion of light intensity. In addition, some flowers, fungi, and liquids reflect UA-A light. Insects are thought to associate UA-A light with food sites, mating opportunities, and spawning sites. Therefore, UA-A is considered to be an important element of insect vision.

  Numerous factors determine the effectiveness of the light catcher (ie, catch rate and species type), including light bulb brightness, UV light emitting area size, light bulb orientation, capture position, flashing period, and wavelength. Has been found to have an impact. It is generally true that traps that incorporate brighter bulbs tend to have higher trapping rates, but manufacturers have chosen legal limits and radiation exposure, etc. when choosing the bulb brightness. A number of elements must be emphasized. Insect position is relevant because competitive UV sources such as outside light can minimize the ability to catch insects when the unit is placed beside a window. Furthermore, the insect trap should ideally be placed in a position where insects are typically directed. For example, the insect trap should preferably be spaced from the ceiling. Furthermore, it has been found that insect attraction increases with increasing light intensity and increases when there is some background brightness. In other words, it is possible to obtain a higher insect response when a UV light pattern having a band of high intensity light and low intensity light is emitted.

  Furthermore, it has been found that UV light sources with a peak in the range of 345 to 375 nm, more preferably UV light sources with wavelengths slightly shorter than 360 nm, produce an optimal insect response. The selection of this optimal wavelength is based on empirical studies on the peak response of various insects. For example, houseflies have a UV peak response from 340 nm to 350 nm. The bees have a UV peak response of 336 nm. Fruit flies have a UV peak response from 345 nm to 375 nm. While research on the spectral response of various species of insects continues, UV sources that emit light below 360 nm have similar light resolution and diptera produce higher responses in such organisms Is inferred from the given example.

  Finally, it turns out that a high catching rate can be achieved when UV-A light is directed towards the area where it is desirable to be free of insects, not on the wall, as in some prior art instruments doing. By directing UV-A light outward rather than directing UV-A light to the installation wall surface, it is considered to better simulate a passable exit from dense vegetation. If an insect flies from the inside of the vegetation to the open space, the insect does not see a large single-sided UV light, but instead a light in the gap between leaves of different sizes. to see.

  The prior art equipment that uses UV-A light as an attraction means loses to have many of these enhanced features while at the same time providing equipment that is well accepted by consumers. It has been found that Insect traps that use UV-A light are often used in restaurants, but in such places, customers do not want to see exposed light bulbs, and even see the traps. I don't want to do it. By imagining a catcher, appetite may be reduced.

  The embodiments described and claimed herein eliminate at least some of the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a kidnap lamp that obscures the insect trapping properties of the device.

According to the invention, in an apparatus for capturing insects,
At least one insect attracting light source that emits insect attracting light;
At least one insect immobilization device configured to immobilize insects;
A housing for holding an insect attracting light source and an insect immobilization device;
A cover that at least partially hides the insect light source and the insect immobilization device from view;
The housing has an opening through which insects can enter and enter the device, and in a manner that prevents the insect attracting light from being projected directly outward from at least one insect attracting light source. A device is provided, characterized in that it has at least one light path or light guide for directing insect attracting light outward from the at least one insect attracting light source to the opening.

  An exemplary embodiment of a kidnapping lamp uses two (UV-A) lamps that are at least partially hidden in the kidnapping lamp, but two light paths that point forward, away from the wall where the kidnapping lamp is installed Configured to project UV light so as to exit from. The two light paths can be provided on the left and right sides of the unit and with structures that avoid any indication or pattern on the wall for UV light.

  In addition, this kidnapping lamp comprises two visible light sources, which can be two lamps that provide work lighting or LED output that will result in more accentuated lighting, whichever approach is taken Whether to do this will be determined by the application. In one example, the visible light source can be oriented to project light against the wall. Visible light sources do not emit UV components and therefore do not contribute significantly to the light draw mechanism. In such an embodiment, the visible light source contributes to the entire assembly in its mimicry as a wall mounted lighting fixture. By combining visible and invisible insect attracting light in a single instrument, still distinguishing each other, this unit can be recognized first and foremost as a wall mounted luminaire, so that Units can be placed in sensitive areas.

  A light guide is mounted in the light path to display intense UV rays in the vertical direction in the UV radiation room to manipulate the UV characteristics of the kidnapping lamp. Insects looking for UV radiation will approach this light source and be drawn towards the light source, and will enter this unit with higher UV intensity. Inside the unit, behind the front panel, there is a replaceable disinfecting board (adhesive coated board) on which insects can be caught.

  Other embodiments, including some combinations of the features described above and described below, and other features known in the art, may be used even if such embodiments are not explicitly stated in the specification. It is anticipated that it will fall within the scope of the claims.

Of course, it is to be understood that the invention described herein is not necessarily limited to the specific embodiments illustrated. Indeed, those skilled in the art may devise a plurality of alternative constructions that are similar and equivalent to the embodiments shown and described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. Is expected.

Like reference numerals are used in the following detailed description of the drawings to refer to like or similar parts throughout the drawings.
Three specific embodiments of the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 are described and shown herein, where the kidnapping lamp 10 is shown in FIGS. 1-8, the kidnapping lamp 110 is shown in FIGS. , Shown and illustrated in FIG. Each of these embodiments is configured for installation on a wall, but it is anticipated that equipment using the claimed components can be adapted for installation on other surfaces. . The kidnapping lamps 10, 110, 210 include two insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b (not shown in the third embodiment) and an insect immobilization device 190 ( It is designed to appear aesthetically unobtrusive compared to current kidnapping lights by substantially hiding it from view (not shown in the first and third embodiments). Each of the illustrated embodiments uses two insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b, although more or fewer insect attracting light sources can be used to achieve satisfactory results It is expected to be possible. In order to contribute to the aesthetic impenetrability of the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210, the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b, except when the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 are viewed from an extreme angle. , Held substantially outside the line of sight of typical bystanders. However, by hiding the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b in the kidnapping lamp, the insect attracting light is prevented from projecting directly forward from the kidnapping lamp. In order for the insect attracting light to reach the outside of the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 and to project forward (in the direction away from the wall surface), the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 are usually free of insects. A structure for sending light in a desired direction, which is a desired area, is provided. To further contribute to the aesthetic unobtrusiveness, the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 have the ability to project visible spectral illumination on the walls. In this regard, the three embodiments 10, 110, 210 described and illustrated herein are insect traps that are camouflaged as standard wall mounted lighting fixtures. The three embodiments of the lantern 10, 10, 210 are substantially similar, but include some structural and assembly differences, as will be described in more detail below. The kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 are similar in that they are all configured to project insect attracting light into areas where it is desirable that no insects are present. These kidnapping lamps all emit two (2) insect attracting light sources that emit ultraviolet (or UV) light, and specifically A-band ultraviolet light (referred to herein as “UV-A” light-2). 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b are used. Although UV-A light is not visible to the human naked eye, insects can see UV-A light and are particularly attracted to UV-A light as described in more detail above. . Satisfactory results can be obtained with a light source that emits light within the entire spectrum of the UV-A bandwidth (ie, between about 315 nm and 400 nm). However, relatively good results can be obtained mainly by utilizing insect attracting light that emits UV-A light having a wavelength between 345 nm and 375 nm, ideally slightly below 360 nm. It has been found for most insect species that it is possible. To meet this standard, it is possible to use a black light blue lamp that emits 353 nm peak UV light sold under the trade name Electrosect.

  In these three embodiments 10, 110, 210, the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b are arranged in the light housings 12, 112, 212 behind the housing front covers 50, 150, 250. . The front cover 50 prevents the insect attracting light source from emitting light directly in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface, and directly emits light within a range of about 30 to 40 degrees for each vertical side. To prevent. Since the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b are generally hidden from view, the kidnapping lamps 10, 110, 210 have light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b and light guides 70a, 70b, 270a, Using 270b, insect attracting light is directed outward from the kidnapping lights 10, 110, and light is directed away from the wall structure on which the kidnapping lights 10, 110 are installed.

The light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b are oval in shape and are generally oriented vertically and have a combined area of about 0.032 m ² , but from various other shapes and orientations It is anticipated that equipment having a light path of within the scope of this claim. The light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b include reflective surfaces 26a, 26b, 126a, 126b, 226a, 226b to effectively reflect light outward from the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210. Due to the concealment characteristics of the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b, the insect attracting light emitted is reflected from the light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b laterally and in a direction generally parallel to the wall surface. It extends in the direction of 26a, 26b, 126a, 126b, 226a, 226b. The reflective surfaces 26a, 26b, 126a, 126b, 226a, 226b are oriented at an angle of about 120 degrees from the wall surface, thereby reflecting insect attracting light into areas where it is desirable that no insects are present. Further, the reflective surfaces 26a, 26b, 126a, 126b, 226a, 226b serve as a shield to block the transmission of insect attracting light onto the wall surface on which the kidnapping lights 10, 110, 210 are mounted. Is also possible. Alternatively, the kidnapping lamp can be provided with a separate shield to fulfill such a role.

  The light pipes or light guides 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b effect the focused insect attracting light through the openings of the light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b. The second means for directing the light in the desired direction by “bending”. In the illustrated embodiment, the light guides 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b are structures such as acrylic plates, but include other materials such as glass, and equipment such as optical fibers. It is anticipated that other light guides (and multiple light guides) can be used effectively as well. The light guide parts 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b abut against the insect attracting light sources 60a, 60b, 160a, 160b at their first ends to capture the focused insect attracting light. Light is transmitted through the light guide parts 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b, and is emitted from the second opposing end of the light guide parts 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b. These end portions on the second opposing side are disposed in the vicinity of the openings of the optical paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b. In the illustrated embodiment, the lengthwise dimensions of the light guides 70a, 70b, 170a, 170b, 270a, 270b are generally relative to the lengthwise dimensions of the light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b. Alternative embodiments are envisioned that are oriented in parallel, but where the leads are oriented in various other directions. By a structure like a plate of the light guide, the light projected from the conductor is characterized by a strong line of insect attracting light. However, other patterns are expected depending on the particular type of light guide used. In use, the insect attracting light reflected from the reflective surfaces 26a, 26b, 126a, 126b, 226a, 226b tends to leave the light path and become scattered patterns 77a, 77b, and is transmitted through the light guide. The attracting light is emitted in patterns 78a, 78b that are much stronger and much more focused from the light path. The scattered and focused patterns of light emitted from the light path combine to form light patterns 79a and 79b having intensity steps. The pattern of light emitted by the light paths 14a, 14b, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b and the associated structures are illustrated in FIGS.
