Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an insect trap using an attractant, and more particularly to an insect trap equipped with a mechanism that can reliably and removably hold a container containing an attractant.

Traditionally, insect traps have been used to attract insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and beetles with attractants such as eugenol, and then drown them in a container filled with water or kill them with insecticides placed on fields, forests, or golf courses. It is used in etc. In this type of insect trap, an attractant is used by impregnating absorbent cotton or the like and storing it in a wide-mouth open container, but the attractant easily evaporates, so it is necessary to frequently replace it with a new one. Therefore,
The insect trap requires a mechanism for reliably holding the container, and the holding mechanism must also be capable of attaching and detaching the container at will so that the replacement operation can be easily performed. However, none of the conventional insect traps has been able to satisfy both of the above two requirements at the same time.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and provides an insect trap equipped with a simple holding mechanism that can securely hold a container containing an attractant and that can be attached and detached extremely easily. .

A fitting hole 8 is provided at a distance from the upper end of the occlusal groove ₇₁ for fitting an attractant container (not shown) containing an attractant. The fitting hole 8 is formed to have a slightly larger cross section and substantially the same shape as the cross section of the attractant container (not shown). 3 ₂ is another Yagura board. The Yagura board ₃₂ has substantially the same external shape as the above-mentioned Yagura board ₃₁ , and is formed with an insertion part ₄₂ , shoulder parts ₅₃ , ₅₄ , and hook parts ₆₃ , ₆₄ . however,
One of the hook portions ₆₄ is formed as a separate member from the Yagura plate ₃₂ , and is rotatably attached via bolts 9 within the plane of the Yagura plate ₃₂ . Moreover, the hook part 6
₄ can be fixed by tightening a wing nut 10. Further, a guide hole 11 for the attractant container is formed slightly below the shoulders 5 ₃ , 5 ₄ , and a locking hole 12 communicating with the guide hole 11 is formed below the center of the guide hole 11 . There is. The guide hole 11 has 2 holes in it.
The attractant containers are formed in such a size that they are lined up side by side with plenty of room, and the locking hole 12 is formed to a depth such that approximately the lower half of the attractant container fits therein. An occlusal groove 72 extending from the top of the insertion portion ₄₂ to the guide hole ₁₁ is formed along the center line of the Yagura plate ₃₂ . The two Yagura plates 3 ₁ and 3 ₂ are interlocked in a cross shape through respective interlocking grooves 7 ₁ and 7 ₂ provided in both. In this way, the two Yagura boards 3 ₁ , 3 ₂ crossed each other in a cross shape have the insertion parts 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ provided at the top of each of them inserted into the grooves of the cross holes 2 drilled in the top of the cap board 1 . 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ are penetrated, and the Yagura part of the insect trap is assembled. In addition, the insertion part ₄₂ of the Yagura board ₃₂ is provided with hanging holes 13, 13 for suspending the assembled Yagura part with a wire or the like.

On the other hand, in the figure, 14 is an insect trap container, and 15 is a funnel-shaped lid that is placed over the insect trap container 14.
The insect trap container 14 covered with the lid 15 is suspended on the assembled Yagura part through the hook parts 6 ₁ to 6 ₄ provided at the hems of the Yagura boards 3 ₁ and 3 ₂ .
At the opening of the insect trap container 14, there is a flange 16 for hanging the insect.
is provided. A drain hole 17 is formed in the bottom of the insect trap container 14, and a water level adjustment hole 18 is formed in the side surface.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the assembled state of the insect trap according to the above-mentioned embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a right side view thereof. The fitting hole 8, the guide hole 11, and the locking hole 12 are as follows:
As shown in the figure, when the Yagura section is completely assembled, they are located at approximately the same height. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, the lower edge of the fitting hole 8 is located between the lower edge of the guide hole 11 and the lower edge of the locking hole 12.

The insect trap of the above embodiment is used by holding the attractant container containing the attractant in the fitting hole 8 and the locking hole 12 as described above. (The method for holding the attractant container will be described later). Then, this insect trap traps the attracted insects in a swarm by dropping them into the insect trap container 14 from the funnel-shaped lid 15.
4. The insecticide placed in advance is used to kill trapped insects. In other words, the lid 15 is provided to prevent insects that have fallen into the insect trap container 14 from escaping. Furthermore, instead of using insecticide, a method may also be used in which the insect trap container 14 is filled with water to drown any insects that fall. In this case, if a water level adjustment hole 18 is provided in the side wall of the insect trap container 14, the water level can be easily adjusted to an appropriate height. Further, in this case, the water drain hole 17 is of course closed with a suitable plug, but the water can be easily drained by removing this plug.

Next, the holding mechanism of the attractant container in the insect trap of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4A, B, a, and b. As already mentioned, this mechanism constitutes the main part of the invention.

FIG. 4A is an enlarged perspective view showing the fitting hole 8, guide hole 11, and locking hole 12 in the assembled Yagura part. The same figure is shown in Figures 2 and 3.
The figure shows a state in which the Yagura plate ₃₁ is shifted upward from the fully assembled state so that the lower edge of the fitting hole 8 is approximately at the same height as the lower edge of the guide hole 11. To achieve this state, it is sufficient to pull up the insertion portion ₄₁ of the Yagura board ₃₁ assembled in the state shown in FIG. Since the insertion hole 13 is not formed in the insertion part 4 ₁ , it can be easily identified from the insertion part 4 ₂ of the other Yagura board 3 ₂ . In this case, if the hook parts 4 ₁ to 4 ₄ are formed longer so that the insect trap container 14 is suspended on the Yagura part with a suitable amount of play,
The above operations can be performed without removing the insect trap container 14 in the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. On the other hand, from the state shown in FIG. 4A, the insertion part 4 ₂
If the Yagura board ₃₂ is moved upward by pulling up, the two Yagura boards ₃₁ and ₃₂ return to the completely assembled state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 4B is a perspective view showing this state.

Now, in order to install the attractant container at a predetermined position of the insect trap of the above embodiment, the attractant container 20 is fitted into the fitting hole 8 as shown in FIG. 4A in the state shown in FIG. 4A. At that time, in the state shown in FIG. 4A, the fitting hole 8
Since the lower edge of the attractant container 20 and the lower edge of the guide hole 11 are at approximately the same height, the attractant container 20 can be easily moved horizontally into the guide hole 11 after introducing it into the guide hole 11. It can be fitted in the state shown in Figure a. Next, by lifting the insertion part ₄₂ of the Yagura board ₃₂ and moving it to the state shown in FIG. 4B, the state shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG.
Insert into. In this state, the attractant container 20
is fitted into the fitting hole 8 and the locking hole 12, which are orthogonal to each other, so that it cannot move in any direction and is held completely fixed. On the other hand, by performing the above operation in reverse, the attractant container 20 fixed in the state shown in FIG. 4b can be easily removed. In addition, numeral 21 in the figure is absorbent cotton impregnated with an attractant, and known attractants such as eugenol, geraniol, anethole, etc. may be used as the attractant.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are explanatory diagrams showing a method of attaching and detaching the insect trap container 14 to the Yagura portion of the insect trap according to the above embodiment. When removing the installed insect trap container 14, first rotate the hook portion ₆₄ upward to release the engagement with the flange portion 16 as shown in FIG. 5A, and then rotate the hook portion 64 upward as shown in FIG. If the Yagura section is slid, the engagement of the other hook sections 6 ₁ to 6 ₄ is also released and can be easily removed. By performing this operation in reverse, it is possible to attach both parts very easily.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. For example, if a through hole is provided in the side of the Yagura boards 3 ₁ and 3 ₂ and a wire or the like is passed through the hole and fastened to the pillar, swinging of the suspended insect trap can be prevented. It is also possible to form the fitting hole 8 in the Yagura plate ₃₂ as described above, and to form the guide hole 11 and the locking hole formed above the guide hole in the Yagura plate ₃₁ . Therefore, the present invention is limited only by the scope of the claims for utility model registration.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, the insect trap has remarkable effects, such as being able to reliably hold the container containing the attractant and being extremely easy to attach and detach.
