Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a mouse trap.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional mouse traps are known in which an adhesive for trapping mice is coated on the inner bottom surface of a housing-type trap body, and mice are trapped using the coated surface. This type of mouse trap is disposable, and the trap and the captured mouse can be placed in a garbage bag and disposed of in a trash can with, for example, kitchen garbage. However, in the conventional method, the garbage bag was prepared separately from the trap, so the user had to open the garbage bag each time by hand and insert the trap into it, which was not only cumbersome to operate, but also
In addition to the sticky tails of the trapped mice coming out of the trap and the head of the mouse being visible through the side opening of the trap, my hands become sticky when I hold the trap in my hand to put it into the trap. The situation is such that people feel uncomfortable and frightened when they use traps because they have to get very close to the captured mice, and they are at a loss as to how to dispose of them.

The present invention was made with the aim of eliminating such conventional problems. Specifically, the present invention includes a trap body having at least one opening large enough to allow mice to enter the trap body on the side, and a trap body having at least one opening large enough to allow mice to enter the body. A plate-shaped mouse-trapping adhesive material is installed at the bottom of the main body so that it will fall off naturally due to the weight of the trapped mouse when it is lifted from the installation location, and the adhesive material is attached to the main body. The present invention relates to a mouse trap characterized in that the main body is equipped with a garbage bag to catch garbage when it falls off.

The mouse trap of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure,
The plate-shaped adhesive material is placed inside the main body in a fixed manner, so when you capture a mouse with the adhesive, there is no danger that the mouse will drag the adhesive material and escape from the main body. In addition to being able to sticky-capture a mouse, when you lift the main body using the handle on the top end, the sticky material will naturally come off the main body due to the weight of the sticky-captured mouse and be placed inside the garbage bag provided on the main body. Since the mouse instantly falls down and disappears from the field of view, the mouse that has been captured can be easily stored in a garbage bag without causing any fear or discomfort. A mouse stored in a garbage bag in this way can be placed in a trash can, etc., either together with the garbage bag and the main body, or by removing the garbage bag from the main body and stuffing it into another garbage bag as it is or with garbage from the kitchen etc. be thrown away.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to dispose of trapped mice simply and easily without causing any fear or discomfort, and has the feature of further improving the usefulness of this type of mouse trap. .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the trap main body 1 is a housing type with a front, regular or isosceles triangular shape, and the entire front and back surfaces and the left and right slopes. Openings 2a, 2a, 2b, which are large enough to allow mice to enter, are formed in parts of the surfaces 1a, 1a.
2b, and has a bottom opening 2c on the bottom surface. This bottom opening 2c may be formed over the entire bottom surface, or may be formed on the front and rear edges 1 as shown in the figure.
The edges 1b, 1b may be formed by leaving the edges 1b, 1b.
If the edges 1a and 1b are left, creases a 1 and a ₁ are formed at the intermediate position between the edges _1b and 1b, so that the inclined surfaces 1a and
Folds a ₂ , a ₂ , a ₃ , a ₃ (third
It is convenient because the main body 1 can be assembled (see Fig. 3) and folded (see Fig. 1) in conjunction with the main body 1 (see Fig. 1).

As shown in FIG. 3, a plate-shaped adhesive material 3 for adhesively trapping mice is placed at the bottom of the trap body 1. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, this adhesive material 3 is composed of a base sheet 3a and an adhesive layer 3b formed on the sheet 3a, and locking pieces are provided on both left and right sides of the base sheet 3a. When the locking pieces 4a, 4a are installed in the main body 1, the locking pieces 4a, 4a are provided with openings 2b,
It is locked in the locking recesses 4b, 4b on the lower side of 2b.
Also, when the trap body 1 is lifted, this locking piece 4
In order for a and 4a to naturally come off from the locking recesses 4b and 4b due to the weight of the sticky and captured mouse,
The base sheet 3a of the adhesive material 3 is coated with 2 pieces of this on the left and right.
A fold _a4 is formed so as to divide the body, and the structure is such that it can be easily deformed into a V-shape in front according to the fold _a4 . The fold a ₄ of the base sheet 3a can be omitted by using a material that can be easily bent and deformed by the weight of a mouse as the base sheet 3a. If the base sheet 3a is made of a material and has a structure that can be deformed into a V-shape by the weight of the sticky trapped mouse, the V-shape will be formed when the base sheet 3a falls from the main body.
When it is deformed into a V-shape, the adhesive layer 3b on its upper surface adheres to both sides of the body of the captured mouse, so that the mouse is substantially wrapped around the base sheet 3a. This is advantageous because the mouse can be dropped into the garbage bag without being able to move.

A garbage bag 5 is installed at the lower end of the trap body 1 so as to substantially surround the bottom opening 2c.

The mouse trap of the present invention shown in Figures 1 to 4 is as follows:
It is convenient because the main body 1 can be transported and stored in a folded, compact state as shown in FIG.
During transportation and storage, the adhesive material 3 is separated from the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and the surface of the adhesive layer 3b is protected with release paper (not shown) until use.

When in use, the trap main body 1 is assembled as shown in FIG.
a, 4a and side openings 2b, locking recesses 4 on the lower side of 2b
b, 4b and is laid down while being locked. If a part of the garbage bag 5 protrudes from the main body 1 during this assembly and use, the protruding part can be folded back and placed inside the lower surface of the main body 1.

The mouse trap of the present invention is assembled as shown in Figure 3 and installed in a place where mice pass through.
Main body 1 from openings 2a, 2a, 2b, 2b of main body 1
A mouse that has entered the room is trapped by the adhesive material 3. The trapped mouse tries to drag the adhesive material 3 and escape through the openings 2a, 2a, 2b, 2b, but since the adhesive material 3 is locked inside the main body 1, once the mouse is trapped with the adhesive, the mouse cannot escape. No longer able to escape, he exhausts his physical strength and eventually becomes weak and eventually dies.

When disposing of a mouse that has been captured with adhesive, as shown in Figure 4, when the trap body 1 is lifted, the weight of the mouse causes the V-shape of the adhesive material 3 to bend and deform along the crease _a4 , so that both sides The locking pieces 4a, 4
As a is deformed into a V-shape, it comes off from the locking recesses 4b, 4b on the lower side of the openings 2b, 2b, so that at the same time as the main body 1 is lifted, the mouse that was captured with the adhesive is instantly thrown into the garbage bag 5 together with the adhesive material 3. Since the mouse sinks inside and disappears from the visual field in an instant, such mice can be dealt with easily and with almost no discomfort or fear. The mouse dropped into the garbage bag 5 in this manner is thrown away together with the main body 1 and the adhesive material 3 in the garbage bag 5 as is or together with other garbage in another garbage bag.

In the present invention, the trap body 1 has openings 2a, 2a, 2b, and 2b on each side surface of the body 1, as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. Alternatively, the openings 2a, 2a may be provided only on the front and back sides of the sides, as in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16. Furthermore, one of these openings 2a, 2a may optionally be omitted.

In addition, the trap main body 1 may have a front triangular shape as shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4, 5 to 8, and 9 to 12;
As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6, the front surface may have a rectangular shape in which the included angles between the base and both sides are right angles, and in this case, both sides of the main body 1 are perpendicular. One of the vertical sides can be installed along an indoor wall. In each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to 16, the bottom surface of the main body 1 is completely opened, and therefore the main body 1 has the first to fourth It can be folded and assembled freely in the same way as the embodiment shown in the figures.
Figure 3 shows the folding situation. Further, as schematically shown in FIG. 17, the main body 1 may have a bottom plate 1e that automatically opens under the weight of the sticky and captured mouse when the main body 1 is lifted. is divided into left and right halves by a cut 1f, and is configured to open and close using folds 1g and 1g on both sides as fulcrums. Such a bottom plate 1e can be of a raised bottom type as shown in the figure, and in this case, the empty space created by the raised bottom can be used as a storage space for the garbage bag 5. Such a raised bottom type is particularly suitable for applications where the floor surface is wet. In the present invention, the shape of the main body 1 is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and may take any other shape such as a front trapezoid, a semicircle, etc. in addition to the shape shown in the drawings. The material of the main body 1 is not particularly limited, but paper is advantageous because it is lightweight and easy to handle, and can be easily incinerated. When the strength of the main body 1 is doubtful, such as when the main body 1 is made of relatively thin paperboard, reinforcing ribs 1d can be coupled to the main body 1 as shown in the figure.

In addition to the means shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4, the adhesive material 3 can be laid in the trap body 1 under the lock so that it can be easily released naturally due to the weight of the trapped mouse. For example, as shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 5 to 8, the locking pieces 4a, 4a on both sides of the adhesive material 3 are connected to the locking holes 4b 1 , 4b in the lower end of the inclined surfaces 1a, 1a of the main body ₁ . 4b ₁ , and furthermore, as shown in the embodiments of FIGS.
It is also possible to adopt means for engaging the locking recesses 4b ₂ and 4b ₂ formed at the lower end of the holder. FIGS. 8 and 12 show the situation immediately before the adhesive material 3 is released from the main body 1 and falls off. Furthermore, as the locking means, 13th to 1st
As shown in the embodiment in FIG. 6, a locking piece 4a is provided only on one side of the adhesive 3, and this locking piece 4a is located inward from the lower end of one vertical side surface _1a1 of the main body 1. It may have a structure in which it is locked into the locking hole _4b3 of the folded piece portion 1c, and in this case, the other side of the adhesive material 3 is completely free from the main body 1. Therefore, when the main body 1 is lifted as shown in FIG. 16, the adhesive material 3 comes off from the other free end and falls, and then the locking piece 4a on the one end side is inserted into the locking hole 4b of the bent piece 1c. Since it falls off due to the weight of the mouse than in ₃ ,
In such a case, it is not necessary to provide the adhesive material 3 with a crease _a4 as shown in the other embodiments.

The garbage bag 5 is attached to the lower end of the main body 1 so as to substantially surround the bottom surface thereof. 1st~
In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4, 5-8, and 9-12, the garbage bag 5 has a surface film 5.
The upper end of the back film 5b is fixed to the lower end of the side plates 1a, 1a of the main body 1 by applying appropriate fastening means such as adhesive or stapler. This front and back film 5
A cut 6 is made in the upper part of the connecting part of a and 5b, making it easier to open the opening. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, the cutout 6a is replaced with the cut 6.
is provided. Furthermore, when the garbage bag 5 is detachably attached to the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 18, the main body 1 can be used repeatedly, which is economical. As a detachable attachment means, for example, locking holes 5c formed on both sides of the upper end of the front and back films of the garbage bag 5 are locked to locking protrusions 1h punched out from both side walls of the main body 1. I can give an example of the means,
In this case, the upper end of the garbage bag 5 has a hand opening 5d.
It is convenient for handling to form . The means for attaching the garbage bag 5 to the main body 1 is such that the garbage bag 5 substantially surrounds the bottom surface of the main body 1 and can receive the adhesive material 3 (adhesively capturing mice) falling from the opening in the bottom surface. There is no particular limitation as long as it is as follows.

A handle 7 can be provided at the upper end of the trap main body 1 as shown in the figure, and this handle 7
As shown in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 16, it may be formed by stamping from the main body 1.
