Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect trapping device capable of sucking and trapping harmful insects and easily exterminating them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to control harmful insects and keep the environment hygienic and clean, insect trapping equipment is sometimes used. As such insect trapping equipment, an adhesive is applied to a prefabricated box-shaped container. The format is widely known.

[0003] This product is obtained by applying an adhesive to the bottom of a container having an opening on its side surface and installing it on the floor or the like.
It can catch pests that invade inside. The pests captured may be discarded together with the container.

There is also a spray type insecticide which sprays an insecticide against harmful insects.

[0005]

According to the conventional technique, the former is effective only against a specific pest that easily invades a narrow space and captures the pest by invading the interior. Therefore, there is a problem that the pests cannot be found and exterminated quickly, and the pests are overlooked. Further, the spray-type insecticide has a problem that spraying the insecticide may cause severe contamination of the air in the room and may attach the insecticide to foods, dishes, etc., which is harmful to the human body.

In view of the above problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to quickly trap and exterminate harmful insects by incorporating a net and a return member inside the nozzle connected to the suction device. Another object of the present invention is to provide an insect trap that is harmless to the human body and can be used easily.

[0007]

The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object has a suction port and a connection port at both ends,
The gist of the present invention is to include a nozzle that is detachably connected to the suction device, a net that is installed inside the nozzle, and a return member that is provided between the suction port and the net.

The nozzle may be provided with an adhesive member between the return member and the net, and may be provided with an opening for ventilation.

Further, the nozzle may be formed in a trumpet shape.

Further, the nozzle may be disassembled, and the return member may be formed integrally with the hood.

[0011]

According to the structure of the invention, since the nozzle has the net inside and has the return member, the pest is sucked through the suction port by connecting to the suction device and operating the suction device. Can be captured. Further, the captured pests can be trapped between the net inside and the return member, and can be discarded together with the nozzle or taken out from the nozzle and discarded. However, as the suction device, for example, a vacuum cleaner for home use, or a suitable manual or mechanical suction pump or vacuum device can be used.

When the nozzle is provided with the adhesive member, the adhesive member can block the movement of the harmful insects trapped in the nozzle.

When a nozzle is provided with an opening for ventilation,
The opening can prevent the negative pressure in the nozzle from becoming excessive and prevent the nozzle from being inadvertently contracted and deformed even when the suction port is blocked by the floor surface or the like.

If the nozzle is formed in a trumpet shape, the nozzle can have a larger suction port with respect to the connection port, and the pest can be captured more easily.

The disassembleable nozzle is convenient for disassembling the constituent members individually and discarding the captured pests, and can be reassembled and repeatedly used.

If the return member is formed integrally with the hood, it is easier to disassemble and reassemble the whole body.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The insect trapping device has a net 21 and a return member 30 incorporated in the nozzle 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2).

The nozzle 10 is a trumpet-shaped tubular member made of a lightweight and inexpensive material such as paper or a thin plastic sheet. A large-diameter suction port 11 is obliquely formed at the tip of the nozzle 10, and a small-diameter connection port 12 is formed at the base end. An opening 13 for ventilation is formed on the side surface of the nozzle 10 at a position close to the connection port 12.

The net 21 is made of an arbitrary flexible material and is formed in a deformable bag shape. The net 21 is mounted in the nozzle 10 together with the adhesive member 40 and the return member 30. However, the net 21, the adhesive member 40, and the return member 30 are mounted in the reverse order from the suction port 11 toward the connection port 12.

The adhesive member 40 is formed by applying an adhesive 41a on the inner surface of a base material 41 made of paper, plastic sheet or the like. The base material 41 is formed in a trumpet shape that fits the inner surface of the nozzle 10. Adhesive member 40
When mounted on the inner surface of the nozzle 10, the net 21 can be fixed by sandwiching the end of the net 21 with the nozzle 10.

The return member 30 is formed in a shallow circular dish shape that fits the large diameter side of the adhesive member 40. Return member 30
Has a rib 31a around the entire upper edge of the side portion 31, and radial split pieces 32, 32 ... Are formed in a conical shape in the central portion of the bottom surface. Therefore, by inserting the return member 30 through the suction port 11, the divided pieces 32, 32 ...

When the nozzle 10 is used, one set of the nozzle 10 and the return member 30 are taken out from the bag 50, and the folds 10a and 10a of the nozzle 10 are pressed from both outsides to make the nozzle 10 into a trumpet shape. Form. At this time,
Since the adhesive member 40 in the nozzle 10 also becomes a trumpet shape together with the nozzle 10 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 4), the protective film 42 is peeled off by pulling the protruding piece 42a through the suction port 11 of the nozzle 10. The adhesive 41a can be exposed. In addition, it is preferable that the protective film 42 be formed in contact with one side of the protruding piece 42a so that the cut 42b is formed in the axial direction of the adhesive member 40 so as to be easily peeled off. Subsequently, by inserting the return member 30 from the suction port 11 side, the entire assembly is completed, and it can be used by connecting to the suction device.

The cut 42b of the protective film 42 is
A plurality of adhesive members 40 are formed in parallel in the axial direction (see FIG.
(A)), the protrusion 42a may be formed for each cut 42b. However, the cuts 42b, 42b ... In the figure do not reach the small diameter side of the adhesive member 40, and are formed so as not to cut the small diameter side of the protective film 42. Further, the cuts 42b, 42b ... May be formed so as not to alternately cut the small-diameter side and the large-diameter side of the protective film 42 (FIG. (B)), and the projecting pieces 42a, 42a.
It is formed for each of the two cut lines 42b, 42b.

The nozzle 10 may be constructed by disassembling the hood 14, the container 15 and the joint 16 (FIGS. 6 and 7). The hood 14, the container 15, and the joint 16 are integrally formed of a plastic material.

A suction port 14a is formed at the tip of the hood 14, and a funnel-shaped return member 30 is integrally formed at the base end via a stopper 14b that fits the tip of the container 15. . The container 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a male screw 15a is formed at the base end portion. In addition, container 1
A cylindrical adhesive member 40 having an inner surface coated with an adhesive 41a is removably mounted inside the inside of 5. In addition, at the base end of the container 10, a mesh 21 with a reinforcing ring 21a is provided.
