Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To capture a wild animal without its injury and facilitate the maintenance after trap setting because of its high safety by using a trap of a specific structure. SOLUTION: This animal trap is equipped with the trapping part 12 that is formed by bending a trapping belt 11 in a loop, the trapping belttying part 13 that moves in the direction that the trap diameter shrinks and a capturing net extended on the trapping part 12. When a wild animal steps its foot or feet into the capturing net 14, the trapping part shrinks its diameter to hold the foot or feet of the animal. At this time, the tying part 13 of the capturing belt is only movable to the diameter-shrinking direction and the feet of the animal is tied more tightly, when it tries running off. The capturing belt 11 is wide and does not injure its feet. It is preferred that this trap is equipped with a transmitter for transmitting signal waves, when the trapping part is shrunk its diameter, thereby knowing that an animal is trapped, without going to the trapping site.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an animal trap used to trap wild animals, especially wild boars, that inhabit wild mountains.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Wild boars that live in mountainous areas appear in the fields when food is scarce and damage crops. Therefore, measures such as shooting with a hunting gun by a hunter or trapping by a trap are taken. There is. One of the traps that has been widely used as a trap to capture wild boars is one that is equipped with a retractable catcher that is urged by an elastic body. It is something that makes it impossible to escape. In addition, recently, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-95.
There is a capture tool for animals and the like disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 908.

The catching tool for animals and the like disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-95908 discloses a trap portion in which the tip of a rope is formed into a loop, and a support column having a built-in spring for raising the trap portion.
It is a structure with a base that locks the base end to the column. When setting this catching tool, a pillar is driven into the ground, the trap part is placed in a loop shape on the ground in the vicinity, and a rake is installed inside the trap part.

When an animal passing near the catching tool steps on a rake installed inside the loop trap, the loop trap moves up due to the force of the spring in the prop, and the trap trap accordingly. Reduces the diameter and captures the foot. At this time, when the captured animal pulls the rope in an attempt to escape, the force causes the loop-shaped trap portion to reduce its diameter, so that the foot is further tightened.

[0005]

The opening and closing type catching tool which has been used conventionally often injures the animal because the leg of the animal is pinched by the very strong force of the elastic body. In particular, there is a great risk that pets such as dogs, cats and other small animals, or human beings, whose legs are thinner than boars, will accidentally cut their limbs if they accidentally fall into this trap.

In the catching tool disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-95908, the rope that fastens the foot is thin, so that when the captured animal rages to escape, the rope bites into the foot more and more deeply. Often injured. If an animal with smaller legs than a wild boar is caught, it may cause fatal injury.

Even if the boar has a relatively thick leg, the rope gradually bites when it is caught by this catching tool and continues to run for a long time to escape, so the leg is cut at that part. Often runs away with three legs. It is expected that this kind of foot amputation will occur frequently, as three-legged boars are often seen in the mountains recently. A foot amputation causes pain to the boar for a long time, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of wild animal protection.

On the other hand, in the conventional catching tool, it is not possible to know whether or not an animal has been caught without going to the site where the catching tool is installed and checking it. Especially when trying to capture wild boars, the wild boars cannot approach unless the odors of humans, etc. have disappeared after 1 to 2 months have passed since the installation of the capture tool, so it is necessary to patrol for an extremely long period of time, and management is required. It's tough.

Further, in the conventional catching tool, since it is not known that the animal has been caught unless the user goes to the installation site, the animal caught in the catching tool may be left as it is for a long time. In such a case, since the animal tries to escape and continues to rampage for a long time, as described above, the rope may bite and the leg may be cut or starved to death.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an animal trap which can catch an animal without damaging it, is easy to manage after installation, and is highly safe.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the animal trap of the present invention has a trap portion formed by bending a belt-shaped trap belt in a loop shape, and is movable in a direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a catch belt binding portion and a catch net stretched over the trap portion.

In this animal trap, an animal steps on a trapping net formed by bending a belt-shaped trapping belt in a loop shape, whereby the trap portion is reduced in diameter to trap the animal foot. To do. At this time, since the trapping belt binding portion is movable in the direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter, the trapped belt binding portion is pulled in the direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter by pulling the trap portion to escape the captured animal. Move further and tighten your legs. However, since the trapping belt forming the trap portion has a belt-like shape having a certain width, it does not bite into the animal's foot and hurt it.

In the animal trap of the present invention, a trap portion formed by bending a belt-shaped trap belt into a loop shape, a trap belt binding portion movable in a direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter, and a trap portion inside the trap portion. It is characterized by comprising a tread plate to be installed and a trap portion raising means for raising a trap portion when an animal steps on the tread plate.

In this animal trap, when an animal steps on a tread plate installed inside the trap section, the trap section is raised by the trap section raising means to catch the foot. At this time, since the trapping belt binding portion is movable in the direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter, the trapped belt binding portion is pulled in the direction in which the trap portion is reduced in diameter by pulling the trap portion to escape the captured animal. Move and tighten your legs. However, since the trapping belt forming the trap portion has a belt-like shape having a certain width, it does not bite into the animal's foot and hurt it.

Further, it is characterized in that it has a transmitter for emitting a signal radio wave when the trap portion formed by the capture belt has a reduced diameter. When the trap of the animal is trapped in the trap, the transmitter emits a signal radio wave when the diameter of the trap is reduced.Therefore, by preparing a separate receiver for receiving this signal radio wave, the installation site of the animal trap You can know that an animal has been captured without having to go to.

Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently go around after setting the animal trap. Also, if an animal is actually captured, you can immediately go to the installation site and deal with it, so the animal will be violent for a long time and deep damage will occur,
There is no escape or starvation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing a first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective explanatory view showing an operating state, and FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway sectional view showing an internal structure of a catch belt binding portion. 1-3, 10 is an animal trap, 11 is a belt-shaped trap belt,
Reference numeral 12 is a trap portion, 13 is a capture belt binding portion, and 14 is a capture net.

The trap portion 12 is formed by bending the trap belt 11 into a loop shape, and the trap belt binding portion 13 is movable only in the direction in which the trap portion 12 is reduced in diameter. The trapping net 14 is stretched inside the trap portion 12 by movably locking the ring 15 attached to the peripheral portion thereof to the trap portion 12.

When the animal trap 10 is installed, it is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, a hole 19 having an inner diameter similar to the diameter of the trap portion 12 is dug in the ground, and the trap portion 1 is formed so as to cover the opening of the hole 19.
2 is placed. The base end of the capture belt 11 is twisted back 1
Since it is connected to the wire 17 via 6, the wire 1
The base end of 7 is attached and fixed to a tree 18 or the like. Although the installation of the animal trap 10 is completed by this, the upper surface of the trap portion 12 or the like may be covered with a leaf of tree or the like so as not to be noticed by the animal.

When the boar's foot 20 steps on the trapping net 14 stretched inside the trap portion 12 of the animal trap 10 installed, the trap portion 12 is reduced in diameter as shown in FIG. To capture. At this time, since the capture belt binding portion 13 can move only in the direction in which the trap portion 12 contracts in diameter, even if the trap belt 12 is pulled to try to escape the captured boar, the capture belt binding portion 13 does not The part 12 moves only in the direction in which the diameter of the part 12 is reduced, and the foot 20 is tightened and is not loosened. However, since the trapping belt 11 forming the trap portion 12 has a belt shape having a predetermined width, it does not bite into the boar's foot 20 to damage it.

The internal structure of the capture belt binding unit 13 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in this figure, since the locking member 22 biased by the spring 23 is in contact with the ratchet 21 formed on the outer side surface of the capture belt 11, the capture belt binding portion 13 is trapped. 12 is movable only in the direction in which the diameter is reduced. Therefore, the trap portion 12 only tightens and does not loosen.

Further, when the boar's foot 20 is captured by the trap portion 12 and the capture belt binding portion 13 moves in the radial direction of the trap portion 12, the ratchet 21 causes the switch 26 of the transmitter 25 to move.
The radio wave is emitted from the transmitter 25 by pressing.
Therefore, the receiver (not shown) provided separately can know it and can go straight to the installation site. For this reason, it is not necessary to carry out patrolling management for a long period of time after installing the animal trap 10, and the captured boar is not left for a long time. Since the transmitter 25 stops transmission by pressing the reset button 27, the transmitter 25 can be returned to the standby state again.

Upon arrival at the installation site, pulling the knob 24 on the outside of the capture belt binding portion 13 releases the lock between the ratchet 21 and the lock member 22, so that the trap portion 12 is released.
Can be loosened to remove the boar's foot 20 captured by the trap 12.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a perspective explanatory view showing the second embodiment,
FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional explanatory view showing an operating state.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, 30 is an animal trap, 3
Reference numeral 1 is a belt-shaped capture belt, 32 is a trap portion, 33 is a capture belt binding portion, 34 is a tread plate, and 35 is a trap portion raising means. Pit hole 34h below the tread 34 and trap raising means 35
Etc. are integrally formed. The trap portion 32 is formed by bending the capture belt 31 in a loop shape, and the capture belt binding portion 3 is formed.
3 can move only in a direction in which the trap portion 12 contracts.

In this animal trap 30, the boar is stepped on the footboard 34 installed inside the trap portion 32 with the foot 20, and the footboard 3
When it falls into the drop hole 34h together with 4, the trap portion raising means 35 quickly raises the trap portion 32 to capture the foot 20. At this time, since the trapping belt binding portion 33 is movable only in the direction in which the trap portion 32 is reduced in diameter, it does not loosen, and even when the trapping portion 32 is pulled to try to escape the captured boar, the trapping belt binding portion 33 33 moves only in the direction in which the trap portion 32 reduces in diameter, tightens the foot 20, and does not loosen. However, since the trapping belt 31 forming the trap portion 32 has a belt shape having a predetermined width, it does not bite into the boar's foot 20 to damage it.

When the animal catcher 30 is installed, FIG.
As shown in, a hole 39 is dug in the ground to such an extent that the lower part of the animal trap 30 is hidden, and the hole is housed in the hole 39. At this time, the upper surface of the animal trap 30 is made to be inconspicuous by matching it with the ground. Next, the footboard 34 is installed so as to cover the opening of the trap hole 39h, and the trap portion 32 is placed on the trap portion raising means 35. Since the trap hole 34h, the trap portion raising means 35, and the like are integrally formed, they can be easily installed by simply digging the hole 39.

On the other hand, since the base end of the capture belt 31 is connected to the wire 37 via the twisting back 36, the base end of the wire 37 is attached and fixed to the tree 38 or the like. Although the installation of the animal trap 30 is completed by this, it is advisable to cover the upper surfaces of the trap portion 32 and the like with leaves of trees so as not to be noticed by the animal.

As shown in FIG. 5, the trap portion raising means 35 is
A protruding plate 40 fixed to the upper end of the expandable shaft 40a,
A spring 41 for urging this upward and a locking pin 42 to be inserted into the shaft body 40a for locking the protruding plate 40 in a state of being pushed into the ground are provided. The base end of the locking pin 42 is connected to the footboard 34 via a thin wire 43.

When the boar's foot 20 steps on the tread plate 34 of the animal trap 30 installed as shown in FIG. 5 (a) and falls into the pit 34h together with the tread plate 34, FIG.
As shown in (b), when the wire 43 is also drawn into the drop hole 34h, the locking pin 42 is pulled and the shaft body 4 is pulled.
Since it separates from 0a, the projecting plate 40 projects upward by the force of the spring 41 to raise the trap portion 32 and capture the boar foot 20.

At this time, the capture belt binding portion 33 is trapped by the trap portion 3.
2 does not loosen because it can move only in the direction of reducing the diameter, and even if the trapped portion 32 is pulled to try to escape the captured boar, the capture belt binding portion 33 moves only in the direction of reducing the diameter of the trap portion 32. Then gradually tighten the foot 20. However, since the capture belt 31 forming the trap portion 32 has a belt shape, it does not bite into the boar's foot 20 to damage it. The internal structure and operation of the capture belt binding unit 33 are exactly the same as those of the capture belt binding unit 13 described above.

In both the first and second embodiments, the case of capturing a boar has been described.
The animal traps 10 and 30 are not limited to this application, and can be widely used when capturing other animals.
