Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a collecting tool that can collect the carcasses of insects such as flies and gadflies without direct human intervention.

For example, it is hygienic to swat the flies that appear in large numbers in the summer to death with a fly swatter, and to collect and dispose of the dead flies directly by hand.
For this reason, there is a conventional device that collects dead fly bodies with a tweezers-like plastic collecting device, but with this device, once you have grabbed the dead fly and collected it, you can leave it as it is in a place such as a garbage can. If you have to throw away the carcasses, you will not be able to collect the next carcass, and it is impossible to collect several carcasses at once. Also, if there is no garbage can nearby, you may consider storing the waste in dustpaper, etc., but in such cases, it is necessary to hold the collection tool with one hand and the dustpaper with the other, so temporarily hold the fly swatter in place. It has disadvantages such as having to be placed in the field and not being able to continuously swat and collect flies, resulting in poor work efficiency.

This invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional methods mentioned above, and allows the collection of insect carcasses without direct human intervention.
Moreover, the object is to be able to collect dead insects all at once and by a continuous operation including fly-swatting.

The above object is to provide a transparent or translucent hollow cylindrical member of this invention with openings at both ends, on the inner surface of one end thereof, a large number of closely spaced hairs with the tips facing toward the center, and a lid covering the opening at the other end. A lid member having a surface is removably fitted, and a plurality of elongated holes are bored in the lid surface of the lid member radially from the center of the lid surface and at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. A plurality of linear spring bodies each having the same strength and the same shape are disposed within the shaped member so as to be movable in the axial direction at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, and the base end of this spring body is connected to the elongated hole of the cover member. The cylindrical member has a distal end protruding from an opening at one end of the cylindrical member, and is bent to expand outwardly at the outside. a first bent part and a second bent part bent inward from a tip of the first bent part, and when the operating member is moved outward, the tip of the first bent part is This is achieved by providing a collector configured such that the second bending portion is in elastic pressure contact with the inner surface of the cylindrical member and the tip of the second bent portion is close to the inner surface of the cylindrical member.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a collection tool detachably attached to the large-diameter handle 3 of a fly swatter 2, and this collection tool 1 is open at both ends as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6. It also includes a transparent hollow cylindrical member 5 having a large diameter portion 4 curved in the axial direction near one end. Cylindrical member 5
A lid member 8 is provided with a large number of flocks 6 on the inner peripheral surface of one end so that their tips are close to the center, and has a lid surface 7 on the other end that covers the opening.
are removably engaged. Lid surface 7 of lid member 8
A plurality of elongated holes 9 (four in the drawing) are bored radially from the center of the lid surface 7 and at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. 10 is a plurality of linear spring bodies each having equal strength and formed in the same shape,
The spring bodies 10 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction and are movable in the axial direction within the cylindrical member 5. The spring body 10 has a proximal end protruding outward from the elongated hole 9 of the lid member 8, and is fixed to an operating member 11 disposed within the lid member 8, which is the outside, with a portion protruding outward. is protruded to the outside from an opening at one end of the cylindrical member 5, and a first bent portion 12 is formed to be bent in an outwardly expanding shape on the outside. The second bent portion 13 is formed in a convexly curved manner.

The collector 1 can be attached by screwing a male thread 15 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the other end to a female thread 16 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the handle 3 of the fly swatter 2. In the above, the cylindrical member 5 and the lid member 8 are preferably made of plastic, and the spring body 10 is preferably made of metal.

Next, the operation of the above will be explained.

To collect the flies that have been struck to death with the fly swatter 2, unscrew the male screw 15 and female screw 16,
After removing the trap 1 from the fly swatter 2, the tip of the spring body 10 is placed downward so as to cover the gap formed between the tips of the second bent portions 13 from above the dead flies. 7A), then the cylindrical member 5
Move it downward. Due to this downward movement of the cylindrical member 5, the first and second bent portions 12 and 13 of the spring body 10 enter into the cylindrical member 5 relatively, and the diameter of the first bent portion 12 is reduced and its tip portion is While being elastically pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member 5, the tip of the second bent portion 13 approaches so that the dead fly is placed thereon. After confirming that the fly carcasses have been placed, the operating member 11 will be pulled upward. Then, the first and second bent portions 12 and 13 pass through the flocked portion 6 by bending the flocked portion, and reach the large diameter portion 4 (see FIG. 7B). When this happens, when the collector 1 is tilted sideways as shown by the arrow, the dead flies fall from the second bent part 13 into the large diameter part 4 and are collected. (See Figure 7C). In the above, since the cylindrical member 5 is transparent, the movement of the dead fly and the spring body 1
The movements of the first and second bent portions 12 and 13 of 0 can be clearly seen, and the collection work is reliable.

Once the large diameter portion 4 collects the particles, the operating member 11 is then pushed in the opposite direction toward the cylindrical member 5. As a result, although the second bent portion 13 of the spring body 10 comes into contact with the inner surface of the large diameter portion 4, it smoothly moves toward the flocking 6 side with its curved convex surface, and the tip of the first bent portion 12 again touches the cylindrical member 5.
The base of the first bent part 12 protrudes outward through the flocked part while being in elastic pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 5.
The state is reached as shown in FIG. 2, where one end of the opening engages with the opening edge. As mentioned above, remove the dead flies one by one.
Alternatively, the trap 1 is used to collect every few flies, but once the dead flies have been collected, even if the trap 1 is raised to collect the next fly carcass, the flocking 6
This prevents the fly from falling, allowing continuous fly swatting and collection work. When a certain amount of dead flies collected by visual inspection has accumulated, or when the fly swatting is finished, the lid member 8 is removed from the cylindrical member 5, and the other end of the opened cylindrical member 5 is opened. Throw it away.

In the above embodiment, the trap 1 is detachably attached to the fly swatter 2, but the invention is not limited to this, and it may be installed separately from the fly swatter 2. Although the diameter portion 4 is provided, this is not necessarily required, and the cylindrical member is not limited to this shape. In addition, it goes without saying that the detailed design of the cylindrical member 5 may be changed as desired, such as the cylindrical member 5 being semitransparent.

This device is as described above, and it is possible to collect insect carcasses without direct human hands.Moreover, since the cylindrical member is transparent or semi-transparent, the movement of the insect carcasses can be clearly seen and the insects can be collected securely. In addition to being able to collect carcasses within the shaped member, even after collecting the next carcass, the collected carcasses do not fall due to the flocking, so many carcasses can be collected at once. Not only can it be temporarily stored, but it can also be performed continuously in conjunction with fly swatting work, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, since the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture and has excellent effects such as being able to be manufactured at low cost.
