Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a habitat block mainly for the purpose of habitation and reproduction of frogs, especially frogs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the improvement of the structure of farm fields and the improvement of water channels, the habitat of living organisms has been lost, and the number of living organisms that have become rare species has increased over the years. An example of this is the Dharmafrog, which has short legs and a round body, and has fallen sharply in recent years, and the Environment Agency has classified it as the only rare species in the mainland frog.

An example in which a slope is provided on a waterway block for the purpose of rescue of living creatures that have fallen into the waterway is Jikkaihei 3-32675,
It can be seen in the Sankaidai 4-82085 etc. However, these conventional canal blocks are for the purpose of rescue only, and none of them are for the purpose of breeding by further advancing the habitat of living organisms which are being drastically reduced.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to provide a block of a type which is installed beside a waterway, a field or the like and is capable of breeding as well as inhabiting of living creatures such as frogs.

[0005]

As a result of various studies on the above problems, the block skeleton has a bottom slab 1 and side slabs 2 on one or both sides of the bottom slab, and the bottom slab 1 has a portion 7 having a hole 3 and a hole. It is characterized in that a portion 8 without a wall is partitioned by a partition 4, a bank 5 having the same height as that of the central partition 4 is provided at an end, and a retaining frame 6 for forming a slope 20 is provided on a block skeleton. Developed a living block.

If a gap 11 is provided between the bottom slab 1 of the block and the bottom of the soil retaining frame 6, the function is further enhanced.

[0007]

The grass grows from the hole 3 in a part of the bottom slab 1, and if a little earth and sand is put in, it will always be in a wet state, and this part will be in a natural state. In addition, in the portion having no hole, water is always accumulated between the partition 4 and the bank 5. This will be a place for spawning frogs. It becomes a natural state by putting stones inside. The earth retaining frame 6 forming the slope 20 provided on the block body is filled with soil on the slope surface,
It serves as a way for crawling grown frogs, taros, crabs, dragonfly dragonflies, buds, and other insects, as well as a place for securing grass and food. In addition, a hibernation place is secured. Since this part is a sloping land, the sun hits, and for plants,
It is also a good place for living things.

By providing a gap 11 between the bottom slab 1 of the block and the bottom surface of the soil retaining frame 6, it becomes a hiding place for living things, a wintering place and the like.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a living body block of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the block, FIG. 3 is a front view, and FIG. 4 is a side view. FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

This living body block has a block skeleton having a bottom plate 1 and U-shaped side plates 2 and 2 on both sides of the bottom plate. In the bottom plate 1, a portion 7 having a hole 3 and a portion 8 having no hole are centrally partitioned by a partition 4. Banks 5 and 5 having substantially the same height as the central partition 4 are provided at both ends, so that the portion 7 where the hole 3 is open and the portion 8 where there is no hole are both recessed. Since the part 7 having the hole 3 communicates with the ground below, grass can grow, and insects such as frogs and small organisms such as worms can pass through.
It is good to pack the soil to about half the depth. The portion 8 without holes is like a container, and water does not leak downward, and a water pool is always formed. Therefore, it is suitable for spawning sites such as frogs and other frogs, and also serves as a breeding site for aquatic insects serving as food.

An earth retaining frame 6 forming a slope 20 is provided inside the block body. A perspective view of the soil retaining frame 6 is shown in FIG. Bottom plate 6a and side plate 6b are formed to have an L-shaped cross section,
The side plate 6b is formed in an inclined state toward the front plate 6c.
A slope (uphill) 20 is formed by filling earth and sand between the earth retaining frame 6 and the side plate 2 of the block frame. A gap 11 is provided between the bottom slab 1 and the bottom slab 6a of the soil retaining frame 6, as shown in FIG. The frogs can enter this gap and protect themselves from foreign enemies. In addition, you can avoid the cold in winter and escape from the heat in summer.

In the biological habitation block described above, the slope retaining frame 6 is installed inside the block skeleton separately from the block skeleton. However, as shown in FIG. It may be of the type to be assembled. Even in this case, the bottom plate 1 has the same structure as that of the above-mentioned embodiment. Side plate 2
In this case, an organism passage hole 9 is provided in this case to enable movement to the slope side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the block body and the earth retaining frame 6 of the slope 20 may be integrally formed.

The biohabiting block of the present invention is installed by the side of a water channel rather than keeping the inside of the block where water always flows, and sometimes water is introduced into the non-perforated portion 8 of the bottom plate of the block. It is advisable to make a puddle so that the puddle is always formed. For that purpose, it is advisable to provide a plurality of this biohabitation block in series beside the waterway, and to provide an intake port and a drainage port at the position above the water level of the waterway in the first and the rear ones. . As shown in FIG. 1, the water intake and the drain are provided with through holes 10 in the side slab 2 of the block skeleton, or a water passage block provided with these is provided with a branch passage, and the living body block of the present invention is provided therein. Should be connected.

[0015]

Industrial Applicability According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a block of a type which, when installed beside a waterway, a field or the like, allows not only habitation of organisms such as frogs but also breeding.
