Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect trapping tool capable of efficiently catching harmful insects such as flies, cockroaches and mosquitoes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Fly hitting is widely used to catch a fly, but in order to hit a fly flying in the air and drop it, or hit a dead fly to cause injury or death, a quick action is required. It is widely practiced every day that a person's physical strength is required and that it does not work well. In addition, ribbon-shaped fly-cutting paper hanging from the ceiling has been widely used, but only the fly flying near the fly-cutting paper can be captured, and the ribbon-like paper with the fly attached is always in the room. It is not hygienic because it hangs in the interior because it is suspended, and in some cases, when the human head or hand touches the sticky fly catching paper, it sticks and it feels uncomfortable and often feels uncomfortable. It was happening. In addition, even with mosquitoes, I often experience that even if I try to kill a mosquito that flies indoors or is trapped by my hand, I often escape and cannot get rid of it often.

On the other hand, various cockroaches capturing mats and attractants / insecticides are widely used for capturing cockroaches. In these cases, cockroaches pass through the place where the mats and attractants / insecticides are arranged. It is necessary to gather there, and it is almost difficult to catch cockroaches that suddenly appear in the room. To remove cockroaches that have appeared indoors, flies and rolled newspapers are usually used, but they often do not hit the cockroaches and often miss them. Moreover, since cockroaches are covered with hard feathers and are much tougher than flies and the like, it is often impossible to kill them even with a slight blow to the cockroaches, and they are often missed. Also, it is not pleasant to crush live cockroaches when hit.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an insect trap which can easily and efficiently trap flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes and other harmful insects.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has made various studies in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. As a result, if the part to be killed by hitting insects such as flies and cockroaches is made sticky, and if a non-adhesive part is provided on the outer side or upper part of the sticky part, if strong force that kills insects is not applied. Also,
A part of the body of the insect sticks to the sticky part only lightly and sticks and cannot escape, so that the insect can be caught easily and efficiently, and the sticky insect trap when using or not using it The present invention has been completed by finding that the tool can be prevented from adhering to various places unnecessarily and the usability is good.

That is, the present invention is characterized by comprising an outer frame, a main body having an adhesive and breathable planar portion provided inside the outer frame, and a handle attached to the main body. It is an insect trap (hereinafter referred to as "insect trap A").

Further, the present invention comprises a rod-shaped main body having a non-adhesive tip portion and an adhesive side wall portion, and a handle attached to the rear end portion of the rod-shaped main body. Hereinafter referred to as "insect trap B").

Although not limited thereto, the insect trap of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings in order to facilitate understanding of the contents of the present invention. First, the insect trap A will be described. FIG. 1 is an overall view of the insect trap A, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line LL of the insect trap A of FIG. The insect trap A comprises a main body 1 and a handle 2, and the main body 1 has an outer frame 3
And an adhesive and breathable sheet-like portion 4 provided inside thereof. The outer frame 3 of the main body 1 is non-adhesive, has a convex shape thicker than the planar portion 4 as shown in FIG. 2, and extends outward from the upper and lower surfaces (front and back surfaces) of the planar portion 4. It is protruding.

By making the structure of the main body 1 of the insect trap A as described above, the shape of the main body of the insect trap A is maintained and reinforced by the thick outer frame 3. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, since the adhesive planar portion 4 is at a position retracted further than the convex outer frame 3, when the insect trap A comes into contact with various places during use or non-use. In addition, it is possible to prevent the adhesive planar portion 4 from unnecessarily directly contacting and sticking to those places, and improve the usability of the insect trap A. In addition, the outer frame 3 has a convex shape, and if necessary,
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, if the non-adhesive convex portions 5 are provided in various places of the planar portion 4 so as not to interfere with the insect trapping function, the planar portion 4 becomes unnecessary. Adhesion can be better prevented.

The body 1 and the handle 2 of the insect trap A may be integrally formed from the same material or different materials inseparably,
Alternatively, they may be detachably attached to each other. When the main body 1 and the handle 2 are detachably attached, any connecting means can be adopted as long as they can firmly and stably attach the main body 1 and the handle 2 in a detachable manner. As an example of the connecting means for connecting the main body 1 and the handle 2 to each other, the female screw is cut on the outer frame 3 of the main body 1 as shown in FIG. A method of screwing and connecting a male screw provided at the tip, as shown in FIG. 3B, a fitting hole 6 is provided in the outer frame 3 of the main body 1, and the tip of the handle 2 is fitted and inserted therein. The method of covering and connecting the both connecting portions with the cover 7 and the like can be mentioned.

When the main body 1 and the handle 2 are detachably attached, the two can be stored separately when not in use. In addition, the main body 1 part is a disposable body, and when a insect adheres to the planar portion 4 of the main body 1 and becomes dirty, the main body 1 is removed from the handle 2 and discarded, and a new main body including the outer frame 3 and the planar portion 4 is disposed. 1 may be attached to the handle 2.

Further, in the insect trap A in which the main body 1 is detachably or integrally (non-detachably) attached to the handle 2, the adhesive and breathable planar portion 4 provided inside the outer frame 3 is provided. The surface portion 4 is made detachable from the outer frame 3
Only the disposable part is used, and when the planar part 4 becomes dirty due to sticking of insects, the planar part 4 is removed from the outer frame 3 and discarded.
You may make it attach the new planar part 4 to the outer frame 3.

When the planar portion 4 can be attached to and detached from the outer frame 3,
The shapes and structures of the outer frame 3 and the planar portion 4 are not particularly limited,
Any material can be used as long as the planar portion 4 can be easily and stably attached to or removed from the outer frame 3 without touching the adhesive surface of the planar portion 4 at the time of attachment or detachment. . Although not limited thereto, an example of the structure of the detachable disposable sheet-like member C is shown in FIG. 4, and the structure of the outer frame 3 for attaching the sheet-like member C of FIG. The structure when attached is shown in FIG.

FIG. 4A is a view of the disposable sheet member C seen from above, and FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along the line LL. The planar member C has a shape and dimensions matched with the outer frame 3, and before being attached to the outer frame 3, the non-adhesive peelable material 8 is provided on both surfaces of the adhesive and breathable planar member 4. (Release paper, release film, release sheet, etc.) (hereinafter referred to as “release paper 8” for convenience) to prevent adhesion. Around the release paper 8, cuts (holes or the like) 9 for attaching the planar member C to the outer frame 3 are appropriately provided so as to penetrate the front and back surfaces. In addition, the release paper 8 provided on both sides of the adhesive sheet-like portion 4 has a continuous cut 1 along the slightly inner portion thereof.
0 is formed.

FIG. 5A is a partially cutaway view of the outer frame 3 to which the planar member C of FIG. 4 is attached. The outer frame 3 has a substantially central portion in the thickness direction and an inner periphery thereof. A protrusion for fixing the planar member C, which is formed by forming a thin projecting piece 11 which may be continuous or discontinuous along and is inserted into the above-mentioned cut (hole) 9 of the planar member in the projecting piece 11. 12 is provided. As shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the planar member C of FIG. 4 is inserted into the cut 9 as it is without removing the release paper 8 and the projection 12 of the outer frame 3 is inserted into the outer member 3 of the planar member C. By fixing and attaching, and then separating the release paper 8 covering both surfaces of the adhesive and breathable sheet-like portion 4 along the slit 10 and peeling it off as shown in FIG. The planar portion 4 for adhering and capturing insects such as cockroaches and mosquitoes appears. Then, when the sticky and breathable sheet-like portion 4 is soiled by the attachment of insects using the insect trap A,
A new planar member C is obtained by removing the planar portion 4 from the outer frame 3 by pinching the remaining non-adhesive portion of the release paper 8 on the outer periphery thereof.
Can be replaced with Outer frame 3 shown in FIG.
In order to firmly hold the planar member C, one or more bridges for mounting the planar member C across the space inside the outer frame 3 are not shown in FIG. Members (linear bodies) may be bridged.

Not limited to those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the outer frame 3 is divided into upper and lower parts, and the planar portion 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 3 and the appropriate fixing means 13. Alternatively, the upper and lower outer frames 3 may be pressed to sandwich and fix the planar member therebetween. In that case, when insects or the like adhere to the planar portion 4 and become dirty, the outer frame 3 may be opened up and down, the planar portion 4 may be removed from between, and a new planar member C may be replaced.

In the replaceable (disposable) sheet-like member C, whichever shape and structure it is, the sticky sheet-like portion 4 does not stick to a release paper or the like when it is not used. It is preferable from the viewpoint of handleability that the structure is protected so that the sticky sheet portion 4 appears during use. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned insect trap A composed of the main body 1 and the handle 2, but is also a replaceable (disposable) type that is detachably attached to the outer frame 3 of the insect trap A for use. The sheet-like member shown in FIG. 4 or other replaceable sheet-like members themselves are included, and these sheet-like members can be distributed and sold together with the insect trap A or separately.

Although the outer frame 3 having a substantially elliptical shape is illustrated in FIG. 1 and the like, the shape of the outer frame 3 is not limited to this, and any shape other than the elliptical shape, such as a circle, a rectangle, or a square, can be used. It can be shaped. The size of the outer frame 3 is not particularly limited and can be appropriately determined. Usually, the outer frame 3 has a diameter (major axis or minor axis) or 5 to 20c on one side.
m, preferably 7 to 15 cm elliptical, circular,
It is better to make it square. The length and shape of the handle 2 are not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected.

Whether the insect trapping tool A as a whole is durable enough to be used repeatedly, or only the handle 2 can be used repeatedly and the main body 1 including the outer frame 3 and the planar portion 4 is disposable. Alternatively, the material of the outer frame 3, the planar portion 4 and the handle 2 can be appropriately selected depending on whether the outer frame 3 and the handle 2 can be repeatedly used and only the planar portion 4 is made disposable. For example, the outer frame 3 and the handle 2 can be formed of plastic, metal, wood, cardboard, or the like.

Further, the planar portion 4 needs to be formed of an adhesive and breathable material. By making the planar portion 4 air-permeable, when capturing insects such as flies and mosquitoes flying in the air using the insect trap A, the air flow is at a right angle or a substantially right angle to the planar portion 4. Since the air flows while passing through the planar portion 4 in the direction, the insects entrained in the air flow can be well collected in the adhesive planar portion 4, and the insect sticking / capturing efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, the planar portion 4
Is impermeable, air will not flow through the planar portion 4 and a large amount of air flow will be generated outside the planar portion 4 and the outer frame 3, so that the air flow The insects inside cannot be collected well on the adhesive surface of the planar portion 4, and the insect trapping efficiency is reduced.

The planar portion 4 is made of a plastic net, a wire net, a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric made of coarse or natural fibers or synthetic fibers, a net-like body, a plastic film having a large number of vent holes, a sheet, a board, a paper, etc. It can be formed from a breathable material. Further, the planar portion 4 may be integrally molded with the outer frame 3 and the like from plastic or the like. Adhesiveness can be imparted to the planar portion 4 by applying a conventionally known adhesive to the surface of the air-permeable material as described above while the air permeability is not significantly impaired. Depending on the structure of the insect trap A, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may be applied before or after the breathable material to be the planar portion 4 is placed inside the outer frame 3. Further, in the case of the above-mentioned disposable type (replacement type) planar member C, an adhesive is applied to the surface of the above-mentioned breathable material, which is covered with a release material such as release paper, and the individual outer frames 3 It should be distributed and sold in a shape, structure and dimensions suitable for

In the insect trap A shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 1
Is provided straight to the handle 2, but the main body 1 may be attached to the handle 2 at a predetermined angle if necessary, and in that case, the angle is preferably about 90 to 150 °. . The insect trap A is suitable for trapping insects flying in the air, perching insects, insects crawling on the floor, etc., and can trap insects flying in the air efficiently.
Moreover, since it is possible to stick insects and capture them without much effort, it is possible to avoid feeling uncomfortable when hitting and crushing cockroaches.

Next, the insect trap B will be described. Although not limited, specific examples of the insect trap B include those shown in FIG. 7. The main body 1 of the insect trap B has a rod shape, and its tip portion 14 is non-adhesive and the side wall portion 15 is adhesive. The rod-shaped body 1 may be integrally attached to the handle 2 or may be detachably attached. In the insect trap B, as shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable that the sticky side wall portion 15 also has the tip portion 14 slightly inside so that the insect trap B can be used in various places when it is used or not used. It is possible to prevent the insect trapping tool B from unnecessarily contacting and sticking to those places when it comes into contact with.

Although the shape of the tip portion 14 is not particularly limited,
A tapered shape such as a conical shape, a pyramid shape, or a truncated cone shape as shown in FIG. 7 is preferable because it can be easily inserted into a gap or the like. Further, when the rod-shaped main body 1 and the handle 2 are made detachable, any connecting means that can firmly and stably attach the rod-shaped main body 1 and the handle 2 to each other can be adopted. The connecting means can be mentioned by the screwing or fitting described above. In the insect trap B, the rod-shaped body 1
When the handle 2 and the handle 2 are detachable, the handle 2 and the handle 2 can be separately stored when not in use, and the rod-shaped main body 1 part may be replaceable (disposable).

When the side wall portion 15 of the rod-shaped main body 1 is made to have an adhesive property, the side wall portion 15 may be directly coated with an adhesive agent, but a sheet, a film or a cloth having the side wall portion 15 coated with the adhesive agent is applied. , Wrap paper, etc. so that they can be replaced.
It is preferable to replace only the part when it becomes dirty due to adhesion of insects or the like.

The rod-shaped body 1 is straight (18
0 °), but 90 ° to 1 for handle 2
It is convenient to use an angle of 80 °, preferably about 90 to 150 °, to attach the cockroaches that have entered the gaps, flies and cockroaches that are stuck, and the like. The attachment angle of the rod-shaped main body 1 with respect to the handle 2 may be fixed or may be changed to an arbitrary angle, and in the case of variable attachment, a known angle adjusting mechanism may be adopted.

The diameter and size of the rod-shaped body 1 and the length and thickness of the handle 2 in the insect trap B are not particularly limited and can be appropriately determined. Usually, the diameter of the side wall portion 15 of the rod-shaped body 1 is about 5 mm to 5 cm, preferably about 1 to 3 cm,
Length is about 5 to 30 cm, preferably 10 to 20 cm
It is preferable to set it to a certain degree. Also, the rod-shaped body 1 and the handle 2 are made of durable material so that the insect trapping tool B as a whole can be repeatedly used, or only the handle 2 can be repeatedly used to make the rod-shaped body 1 disposable, or It can be appropriately selected depending on whether the entire tool B is disposable or not, and can be formed of, for example, plastic, metal, wood, cardboard or the like. Since the insect trap B has a rod-shaped structure, it can be trapped efficiently even when cockroaches or the like escape into the gap.

The insect trap A and the insect trap B of the present invention are particularly suitable for trapping flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc., but are not limited to trapping those insects. For example, pests attached to plants , Can be used to capture other pests. Further, when the insect trap A and the insect trap B of the present invention are not used, the adhesive and breathable sheet-like portion or the adhesive side wall portion may be covered with a release material such as release paper, if necessary. Alternatively, the peelable material may be peeled off before use. In that case, it is convenient to distribute and sell the peelable material that covers the sticky surface portion or the side wall portion together with the insect trap A or the insect trap B.
