Description

The subject of the invention is a device for catching moles in burrows, in which, with whole installations across the mole and acting when the mole approaches on either side of the hole, it is made in the form of a horseshoe or a semi-ring, one end of which with a spiral is pressing a lever, and the second forms a closing half ring in diameter and is equipped with a holding lever with a device made in the form of a hook with a shoulder resting on the pressure lever through a slot of a sleeve loosely clad on it, on which an arc-shaped guard is fixed.

Devices are known that are used for catching rats, mice and other small animals, including moles, which use the principle of clamping an animal with a lever connected to a retraction spring and knocking the animal's body out of the cocked arm from the cocked lever.

The use of such traps in catching moles in burrows consists in one-sided action, i.e., triggering only when the mole moves only on one side of the hole, resulting in a very low catch rate of moles in the burrows and also in the inconvenience of alarming and the installation of such traps inside the burrow.

FIG. 1 shows the proposed device assembly, the general view; in fig. 2 - front view of the case; in fig. 3 is a top view; in fig. 4 - REID from the side; in fig. 5 and 6 are two kinds of holding device; in fig. 7 - guards.

The body /, made of steel wire with a diameter of 2.5 mm, is bent in the shape of a horseshoe, the right end of which is curled with a coil 2 with a free right lever 3, which is a pressure lever, and the left one is bent first at a right angle in the form of bend 4, and along chord 5, traversing, closes the body, entering with its hook 6 into the spiral 2. On the knee 4 of the body is put on a loop 7 suspension 8 (fig. 5), made of steel (preferably galvanized) wire with a diameter of 1.8 mm and having loop 7 shelf 9 (Fig. 6), formed by a double bend of the end of the wire, and at the free (right) end cam 10, flat sawn from the bottom. The suspension is a lever holding device; on its breakdown 9, the end of the cocked lever 3 rests, in the middle of which the cam 10 under No. 96347 C C - 2 weighs. A lever 5, made of a stainless stiffened sleeve, with a guard 12 held therein, which is a 1.5 mm diameter wire rod, is freely attached to the lever 5. In the upper part of the sleeve 11 there is a slot 13 with a width of 2 mm through which the cam 10 of the suspension 8 rests on the lever 5.

The device is forced (cocked) by putting the sleeve // on the lever 3 and // by raising the lever 3 to the top position (strained by twisting the helix 2) position, with the end of the lever 3 resting on the double shelf .9 of the suspension, and the cam 10 of the latter leans the slot 13 of the sleeve is on the lever 3. In the cocked state (Fig. 1), the device is placed in the mole pore and installed in its cross section, with the housing / slamming into the walls of the hole, and the sentries 12 freely hanging in the hole.

The mole moving along the hole in any direction gets its head into the arcuate gatehouse 12 and thanks to the free fit of the sleeve // on the lever 3 and a small gap between the cam 10 and the edges of the slot 13 without effort, slightly turns the gate 12 on the lever 3. Then, with further turning the gatehouse, sleeve // knocks the cam 10 from the lever 3; thanks to the rotation of the suspension 8 with the shelf 9, with the latter the end of the lever 3 jumps off and, straightening down under the action of the spring 2, the lever 3 instantly clamps the mole. The possibility of free preliminary turning of the gatehouse on the lever 3 ensures sufficient penetration of the mole’s body into the trap and reliable clamping it not along the nose or the end of the head, but along the neck or shoulder blades.

With a corresponding change in the size of the device and the wire cross section, it can serve to catch other animals.

Subject invention

A device for catching moles, made of spring wire, with a pressure lever acting on the spiral force of this wire, characterized in that, in order to set it across the mole course and act when the latter approaches on either of two sides, it is made horseshoes or half rings, one end of which with a spiral is a pressure lever, and the other forms a closing half ring in diameter and is equipped with a holding lever a hinged suspension having a shelf for supporting the end of the lever resting on the lever through the slot freely adetoy it vtulochki upon which the arc-shaped cock.
