Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage case for a cockroach trap that is detachably attached to an object to be attached, such as kitchen furniture.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Particularly in kitchens and the like, conditions are perfect for the emergence of pests, especially cockroaches, that spread pathogens to humans. In other words, for cockroaches, a kitchen room has the right amount of warmth, humidity, darkness and narrow spaces that are convenient for cockroaches to hide in, and above all, an abundance of food. Because they are extremely quick to escape, once they breed, it takes a lot of effort to exterminate them, and since it is impossible to prevent them from entering the room from outside, they can quickly appear and reproduce if you are not careful.

Therefore, traps that can easily catch cockroaches have been commercially available. This is done by coating a trap with an adhesive that emits an odor that cockroaches like, assembling it into a box shape, and placing it in the passageway for cockroaches.The cockroaches, attracted by the odor, get stuck in the adhesive and can be captured. becomes. After catching cockroaches, you can throw away the trap as is, which is sanitary and does not get your hands dirty.

However, the trap itself has a certain size, and there is not always enough space in the kitchen, so it tends to get in the way, and its installation location is rarely optimal. Furthermore, in order to prevent infants and young children from accidentally getting their hands on the traps or crushing them by stepping on them, the traps had to be colored in a conspicuous color scheme, which detracted from the aesthetics of the kitchen. Furthermore, the trap has a large opening that serves as an introduction port for the cockroaches, but the captured cockroaches can be seen through the opening, creating a sense of discomfort.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a cockroach trap that does not take up much space, provides an optimal installation location, and allows the cockroach trap to be installed without having to look at the captured cockroaches. The purpose is to provide a storage case for a cockroach trap that can be disposed of hygienically.

[Summary of the idea]

In other words, the present invention has an opening on at least one side of the case body which is detachably attached to the object to be attached, and the cockroach trap is housed in the opening through the opening so that there is no problem when disposing of the trap. A cover with a hole for introducing cockroaches into the opening of the case body can be opened and closed to ensure the capture rate of cockroaches, and the cover can shield the inside of the case body to create an aesthetic appearance. This is a storage case for a cockroach trap characterized by improved functionality.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a piece of kitchen furniture to which it is attached, such as a sink. The riser 2 at the bottom of the front of the sink 1 has a case opening 3.
is provided. From this case opening 3,
A cockroach trap storage case (hereinafter simply referred to as storage case) 4, which will be described later, is detachably attached. That is, one end of the storage case 4 is fitted into and supported by the case opening 3, and the other end is placed on a support rod 5 provided in the riser 2. The storage case 4 is composed of a case body 6, a lid body 7, and a cover 8, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The case body 6 has a thin box shape with an open top and one side, and has flanges 6a, 6a on both side edges of the opening provided on the side, and a substantially triangular cross section on the bottom edge. A guide flange portion 6b is integrally provided. The flanges 6a, 6a need to be cut out so that they are slightly lower than both sides of the case body 6, and the protruding length of the guide flanges 6b should be approximately the same as the thickness of the support rod 5. .
The lid 7 has an open bottom surface and one side surface so as to close the top opening of the case body 6, and a flange 7a is integrally provided along the periphery of the side opening. The upper end of the cover 8 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the flange 7a of the lid 7 via a hinge 9, and the lower end is a free end and is rotatable. Further, the cover 8 is provided with a plurality of holes 8a that open downward. Here, a notch is made in a part of the cover 8, and the hole is formed in substantially the same manner as a so-called ventilation hole, which is cut and raised by pressing, for example. When the lid 7 is stacked and integrated with the upper opening of the case body 6, the inner circumferential surface of each piece of the lid 7 is removably fitted to the outer circumferential surface of each piece of the case body 6, and The flange portion 7a is continuous with the flange portions 6a, 6a of the case body 6. In this state, an opening 10 is formed only on one side of the storage case 4, and is opened and closed by the cover 8.

The storage case 4 thus assembled is then inserted into the riser 2 through the case opening 3 with the cover 8 facing toward the front side. Each collar 6
a, 7a and the guide collar portion 6b come into contact with the circumferential surface of the case opening 3. Then, the cover 8 is rotated to open the opening 10, from which the attached adhesive is applied, and the cockroach trap S assembled into a predetermined shape is housed in the case 4. Therefore, it is not necessary to install the cockroach trap S directly on the floor of the kitchen room, so it does not get in the way and there is no risk of crushing it, and since it is shielded by the cover 8, it does not spoil the aesthetic appearance. Since it is invisible, it is safe for infants and young children.

The smell of the adhesive of the cockroach trap S fills the storage case 4, and the opening 10 and the cover 8.
The cockroaches crawling on the floor of the kitchen are attracted to the smell and enter the storage case 4 through the guide collar 6b and the holes 8a. Since the cockroaches enter the cockroach trap S and are captured, the cockroach capture rate is extremely good.

When a certain number of cockroaches have been caught, the storage case 4 is taken out from the case opening 3, the cover 8 is opened, and only the cockroach trap S is disposed of in a trash can or the like. At this time, there is no need to look inside the cockroach trap S, so there is no discomfort, and it is sanitary because the cockroach trap can be disposed of without touching it at all.

Further, when cleaning the storage case 4 as necessary, the lid 7 is removed from the case body 6.
Therefore, each corner can be thoroughly cleaned, and it is extremely easy to reassemble the storage case 4 and insert it into the sink 1.

Note that in the above embodiment, the cover 8 is connected to the lid body 7.
Although the cover 8 is pivotally attached to the flange portion 7a, the cover 8 is not limited to this, for example, the cover 8 may be attached to the riser portion 2. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the case body 6A and the lid body 7A of the storage case 4A do not need flanges, respectively, and only the guide flanges 6b need be provided on the case body 6A. The effects on cockroaches and the cockroach trap S are exactly the same as in the above embodiment.

Further, in the above embodiment, a sink is used as the object to be attached 1, but the object is not limited to this, and it may be used for kitchen furniture such as a cooking table, a gas stove, a cupboard, a hanging cabinet, a hatch, or a washstand. Alternatively, it may be directly housed in a building as long as it does not interfere with other furniture or strength and the insertion and removal of the cockroach trap S.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention has the practical effects of improving the cockroach capture rate and improving the aesthetics, safety, and usability.
