Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insect-catching device for adhering and catching insects attracted with the light of a fluorescent lamp to an adhesive sheet, lowered only in the visibility of the adhesive sheet. SOLUTION: This insect-catching device comprises a fluorescent lamp 3, an adhesive sheet 5 disposed below the fluorescent lamp 3 along its longitudinal direction and adhering and catching insects attracted with the light of the fluorescent lamp 3, and a cover 6 for covering the adhesive sheet 5 from the lower and lateral sides through a space having a prescribed width. The light of the fluorescent lamp 3 can transmit the cover 6, but an inhibition means for inhibiting to see the adhesive sheet 5 from the outside of the cover 6 is provided.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect trapping apparatus which adheres insects attracted by light from a fluorescent tube to an adhesive sheet and captures them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An apparatus for controlling a flying pest includes a fluorescent tube and an adhesive sheet for adhering and capturing insects attracted by the light of the fluorescent tube. This device comprises: 1. Safe without risk of fire or electric shock; Insect carcasses scatter,
2. It is clean because it does not fall. Since there is no effect on the human body because no medicine or the like is used, there are advantages not found in other extermination devices and methods.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, the sticky sheet to which the insects are attached can be seen from the outside, which may cause discomfort. There was a problem that it was difficult to use in places where it was required. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to reduce only the visibility of an adhesive sheet while maintaining the advantages of the above-described conventional device.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided an insect trapping apparatus comprising: a fluorescent tube; and an adhesive which is disposed below the fluorescent tube along a longitudinal direction thereof and adheres and captures insects attracted by light of the fluorescent tube. An adhesive sheet, and a cover that covers the adhesive sheet from below and from the side via a space having a predetermined width, and the cover includes:
It is characterized in that a light blocking means is provided for blocking the visibility of the adhesive sheet from the outside of the cover, though the light of the fluorescent tube is transmitted.

In this case, the cover is formed of a transparent material, and the blocking means is formed on the surface of the cover at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the fluorescent tube and extends along the longitudinal direction. It is desirable that the surface has irregularities.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show examples of the insect trap of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body. Supports 2 are attached to both ends of the main body 1 in the longitudinal direction downward, and between the supports 2, light for attracting insects (blue light preferred by insects) is emitted. The fluorescent tube 3 is detachably mounted via a socket 4.

[0007] Reference numeral 5 denotes an adhesive sheet which is stretched between the supports 2 below the fluorescent tube 3 and adheres and captures insects attracted by the light of the fluorescent tube 3. It is detachably attached to the support 2 with both side surfaces facing sideways.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a cover that covers the adhesive sheet 5 from below and from the side via a space having a predetermined width. The cover 6 is a semi-cylindrical member formed of a transparent resin or the like, and is detachably attached to the support 2 below the adhesive sheet 5 with its inner peripheral surface facing upward. ing. Also,
On the inner peripheral surface of the cover 6, irregularities (blocking means) 6a are formed along the circumferential direction, and the irregularities 6a extend along the longitudinal direction of the cover 6. Here, the size and shape of the irregularities are set to such an extent that the visibility of the adhesive sheet from the outside of the cover 6 can be prevented.

Further, a gap of a predetermined width is formed between the upper end of the cover 6 and the lower end of the main body 1 as shown by a symbol S in the figure to enable insects to enter the apparatus. I have.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a reinforcing frame that extends between the supports 2 in the gap S.

At the time of catching insects, the insect catching device is installed at a position higher than the height of a general human, and the fluorescent tube 3 is turned on. Then, the light of the fluorescent tube 3 is directly transmitted from the gap S or the cover 6.
Indirectly radiated through to attract insects. The insects attracted by the light of the fluorescent tube 3 penetrate into the device through the gap S, and are captured by the adhesive sheet 5.

In the insect trapping apparatus of the present invention, since the adhesive sheet 5 is covered from below and from the side by the cover 6, when the insect trapping apparatus is installed at a position higher than the height of a general human, the gap S It is not possible to visually recognize the adhesive sheet 5 directly through. In addition, since the unevenness 6a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cover 6, visual recognition of the adhesive sheet 5 from the outside of the cover 6 is also prevented by the presence of the unevenness 6a.

On the other hand, since the cover 6 is formed of a transparent material, the light of the fluorescent tube 3 is not blocked by the cover 6. Rather, since the light of the fluorescent tube 3 transmitted through the cover 6 is scattered in multiple directions due to the formation of the unevenness 6a, the fluorescent tube 3
As compared with the case where the surroundings are directly illuminated, the irradiation range of the light from the fluorescent tube 3 is expanded.

That is, according to the insect trapping apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to reduce only the visibility of the adhesive sheet 5 while maintaining the above-mentioned advantages 1-3 inherent in this kind of insect trapping apparatus. I have. Therefore, there is no unpleasant feeling when seeing the adhesive sheet 5 to which the insects are attached, and as a result,
For example, it can be used in places where cleanliness is required, such as stores and offices.

In addition, replacement of the fluorescent tube 3 and the adhesive sheet 5,
Alternatively, when cleaning the apparatus, the cover 6 is removed and a desired operation is performed. Here, in the device of the present embodiment, the unevenness 6a is formed along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the cover 6 and the unevenness 6a is extended along the longitudinal direction of the cover 6, so that the unevenness 6a extends in the radial direction of the cover 6. Elastic deformation is easy,
As a result, the cover 6 can be easily removed.

The unevenness 6a may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cover 6 or on both surfaces of the cover 6, and the unevenness 6a
It is needless to say that the shape and the like can be arbitrarily set. Also, the range of the adhesive sheet 5 covered by the cover 6 is such that when the insect trapping device is installed at a position higher than the height of a general human, the adhesive sheet 5 cannot be directly visually recognized through the gap S. If so, it can be set arbitrarily.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, in an insect trapping apparatus for attaching and trapping insects attracted to light of a fluorescent tube to an adhesive sheet, the adhesive sheet is provided with a space having a predetermined width from below and from the side. A cover is provided to cover the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet through the cover, and the cover is provided with a blocking means for blocking the visible light from the fluorescent sheet from the outside of the cover, though the light of the fluorescent tube is transmitted. 1. Safe without risk of fire or electric shock; 2. Insect carcasses are clean because they do not scatter or fall. There is no effect on the human body because no drugs are used,
It is possible to reduce only the visibility of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet while maintaining the advantage. Therefore, the sticky sheet to which the insects are attached is not uncomfortable, and as a result, it can be used in places where cleanliness is required, such as a store or an office.
