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 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 can easily get in the way, and the ambient temperature around the installation location may not necessarily be the same as that preferred by cockroaches. do not have. Furthermore, to prevent infants from accidentally getting their hands on the traps or crushing them by stepping on them, the traps must be colored in a conspicuous color scheme, which detracts from the aesthetics of the kitchen. Additionally, the adhesive spreads its odor throughout the kitchen, making it dilute and less likely to affect cockroaches' sense of smell. For this reason, there were drawbacks such as a low capture rate for cockroaches, especially those hidden inside kitchen furniture such as sinks.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to create a cockroach trap that does not take up much space and is safe, as well as to find an optimal installation location that matches the atmospheric temperature preferred by cockroaches. The object of the present invention is to provide a storage case for a cockroach trap that can increase the capture rate.

[Summary of the idea]

That is, the present invention provides an opening on at least one side of the case body that is attached to the object to be attached, and the cockroach trap is housed in the opening so that the cockroach trap can be inserted and removed, so that the cockroach trap does not get in the way. By placing cockroach traps in a way that makes them less conspicuous and improving their aesthetic appearance, they increase the cockroach capture rate.
This storage case for a cockroach trap is characterized in that a heater is attached to the outer surface of the case body to maintain the inside of the case body at a temperature preferred by cockroaches, thereby improving induction efficiency.

[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. A cockroach trap storage case (hereinafter simply referred to as storage case) 4, which will be described later, is attached to the case opening 3. 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. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the storage case 4 is composed of a case body 6, a cover 7, a plurality of guide paths 8a, 8a, 8b, and a heater 15. The case body 6 has a thin box-like shape with an opening 9 on the front surface, and a guide flange 10 having a substantially triangular cross section is integrally provided at the lower edge of the front surface. The protruding length of the guide flange 10 is made substantially equal to the thickness of the support rod 5. The upper end of the cover 7 is pivotally attached to the front surface of the riser 2, which is the upper part of the case opening 3, via a hinge 11, and the lower end is attached to the guide collar 1.
It becomes a free end bent along 0, and the opening 9 can be opened and closed. Further, the cover 7 is provided with a plurality of holes (not shown) that open downward.
Here, a notch is made in a part of the cover 7, and is formed in substantially the same manner as a so-called ventilation hole, which is cut and raised by, for example, press working. The guide paths 8a, 8a, and 8b each consist of a cylindrical body with both ends open. That is, there is a pair of holes 12, 12 on the top surface of the case body 6, and a hole 1 on the back surface.
3 is provided. The bottom plate 1a of the sink 1 is also provided with holes, and upper guide passages 8a, 8a are formed in these holes.
Both ends of the two sides fit together. Therefore, the upper taxiway 8
a, 8a, the storage chamber 14 of the sink 1 and the inside of the case body 6 communicate with each other. Case body 6
Both ends of the back guiding path 8b fit into the hole 13 on the back and the hole provided on the back side of the riser 2, so that the back side of the sink 1 and the inside of the case body 6 are communicated. Further, a thin plate-shaped heater 15 is attached to the upper surface of the case body 6. This heater 1
5 heats the case body 6, but the heating temperature is kept substantially constant by the action of a thermostat (not shown). That is, the temperature is set so that the inside of the case body 6 is at a temperature preferred by cockroaches.

Then, the cover 7 of the storage case 4 constructed in this manner is rotated to open the opening 9, and the attached adhesive is applied from there, and the cockroach trap S assembled into a predetermined shape is placed inside the case. Store within 4. Since it is not necessary to install the cockroach trap S directly on the floor of the kitchen room, it does not get in the way and there is no risk of crushing it, and since it is shielded by the cover 7, it does not spoil the aesthetics and is out of sight. Safe for infants and young children.

The smell of the adhesive of the cockroach trap S fills the storage case 4 and drifts through the hole in the cover 7 onto the floor of the kitchen room. Furthermore, the odor wafts into the storage room 14 via the guide paths 8a, 8a, and between the sink 1 and the wall of the kitchen room via the back guide path 8b, so the cockroaches in each area are concentrated. and smell the adhesive. Then, they are guided into the storage case 4 through the respective routes. At the same time, since the interior of the case body 6 is maintained at an ambient temperature preferred by cockroaches by the heating action of the heater 15, cockroaches can be guided efficiently. Then, these enter the cockroach trap S and are captured.
In particular, since the storage chamber 14 is in a sealed state, it is filled with the smell of the adhesive introduced through the upper guiding paths 8a, 8a, and the ambient temperature, making it possible to guide all the cockroaches there and increase the capture rate. is extremely good.

In the above embodiments, a sink is used as the object to be attached 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be used for kitchen furniture such as a cooking table, gas stove, cupboard, hanging cabinet, hatch, etc., 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 insertion and removal of the cockroach trap S.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention has the practical effect of greatly increasing the cockroach capture rate and improving the aesthetic appearance and safety.
