Description

The present invention relates to the field of devices for the humane capture of small animals, in particular to structures for traps for cats, birds and small dogs.

A known design for capturing small animals (1), in which a mesh basket is mounted movably in a vertical direction on an arm above a round base. When the animal steps on the pedal in the center of the base, the basket automatically lowers.

The disadvantages of this design are:

Large dimensions, due to the fact that the base has a circular shape with a pedal in the middle and requires space for the animal around the entire circumference.

Inability to safely transfer an animal in a carrying.

The impossibility of selective capture of a particular animal.

The closest in technical essence the prototype of the present invention is a trap for animals (2). The prototype has a net made in the form of a flexible round hoop over which a mesh is stretched. When the animal steps on the pedal, the stopper of the flexible round hoop is released and it covers the animal under the action of elastic forces.

The disadvantages of the prototype are:

Large dimensions, due to the fact that the base has a round shape.

Inability to safely transfer an animal in a carrying.

Low trap retention due to design flexibility. The likelihood of injury to the animal with a hoop. The impossibility of selective capture of a particular animal.

An object of the present invention is to improve the performance of small animal traps.

To achieve the goal according to the present invention are used:

1) Radio control of the descent mechanism for selective fishing.

2) Wireless camera and monitor with a television signal receiver for monitoring the fishing process.

3) A hatch with a lever for opening and closing it, located at the base, for releasing the caught animal into the carrier. For fixing the hatch in the closed position there is a valve

4) The semicircular shape of the base to reduce the size of the trap.

5) Rigid design of a landing net hoop for reliability of deduction of an animal.

6) Two latches of a landing net hoop for reliability of deduction of the caught animal.

7) Lanyards with hooks located at the bottom of the base, for reliable docking of the trap with carrying when transplanting the animal.

8) The soft shell of the landing net to prevent injury to the animal.

9) Ball bearing with protection mounted on the net hoop reduces the friction of the trigger mechanism and thus increases the range of the control panel.

Comparative analysis with the prototype shows that the inventive device is characterized by the presence of new parts:

radio control systems; television surveillance systems; controlled by the hatch lever at the base; soft shell of the net hoop; docking straps with hooks; trigger bearing; and a new method of fishing due to radio control for the selective operation of the trap during discreet monitoring of the fishing process by means of a wireless camera, as well as the possibility of safe transplantation of a caught animal into a carrier.

Thus, the claimed device meets the criteria of the invention of "novelty."

Comparison of the proposed solution not only with the prototype, but also with other technical solutions in the art did not allow them to identify signs that distinguish the claimed solution from the prototype, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "significant differences".

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, where in FIG. 1 shows a front view of the trap in cocked state with the designation of the main parts; in FIG. 2 - top view of the trap in a cocked state with the designation of the main parts; in FIG. 3 - side view of the trap in a cocked state with the designation of the main parts; in FIG. 4 is a side view of the trap after the capture of the animal and the transfer of the trap to a vertical position with a carrier docked to it for transplanting the animal.

The small animal trap consists of:

A rigid semi-oval base (1) with a hatch (2) in its center and a food plate (16)

A semi-oval-shaped landing net (3) made of an aluminum tube 14 * 1.5 with a mesh stretched over it (4) and a soft shell (5), as well as a ball bearing (6) and hinges (7) mounted on it

Rubber harness (8), creating on the hooped cocked state Мкр = 0.24 Kg * m Radio-controlled trigger (9)

Spring latches (10) securing the hoop in the closed position.

Two straps with hooks (11) for reliable docking of the trap with carrying (15) when transplanting an animal

Wireless Camera (12)

A monitor with a television signal receiver and a radio remote control (13) of a fabric cape (14) A trap for small animals works as follows:

Before use, the trap hoop is placed in a vertical position. At the same time, the rubber harness is pulled and the trigger hook is put in focus to the ball bearing. Then in the middle of the base closer to the grid is a plate with food. Next, the switches of the trigger mechanism, camera and monitor are switched to ON mode. After attracting a specific animal from several, such as a cat, a radio signal is given from the observer's remote control to the trigger. In this case, a hoop with a net under the action of a rubber band covers the animal and spring latches fix the hoop in the closed position. Then, to calm the animal, it is covered with a cloth. Next, the trap is moved to a vertical position, the field of which is attached to it on the other side of the animal from the animal using two straps with hooks. Then opens the hatch at the base and the door in the carrying. When the animal is caught, it sees the exit and is pushed through the fabric with its hands and goes into the carrier itself, after which its door closes.

Compared with the prototype, the proposed trap has the ability to:

-Sample catching animals.

- Safe for human and animal fishing and transplantation in carrying

- Reliability of keeping the captured animal

-Easy transportation and storage due to the small size when folded.

Claims (1)

A trap for small animals, containing a rigid base with a hoop pivotally mounted on it, on which a net is stretched, characterized in that when the television is invisible to the animal using a wireless camera and monitor, the trigger mechanism is controlled by a radio signal, to increase the range of which a ball bearing is used, reducing the frictional force in the trigger mechanism, after which, for transplanting the animal into the carrier, there is a hatch and fixing straps with hooks at the base of the trap, while A hoop animal injury exception enclosed in a soft shell and a latch for retaining the reliability of the captured animal trap in closed position, to reduce the weight and dimensions of its base which has a semi-oval shape.
