Abstract

A bait station for poison baits, including a housing (1) with a chamber (2) for storing the poison bait. The bait station has at least one piece of tubing (9) projecting from the wall (3) of the housing and communicating with the chamber (2) to form a tunnel. The arrangement of the tunnel prevents small children, domestic animals and birds from reaching the poison bait.

Description

A bait station for -poison baits
The present invention refers to a bait station for poison baits. The laying-out of poison baits in combating rats and other noxious animals must often be performed out of doors, for example on villa or summer-cottage grounds, gardens and in connection with store rooms, animal stables, industrial plants etc.
The poisoned bait can either be laid out direct on the ground in so called open rations or be dosed from so called bait sta- tions. Bait stations are known from the U.S. patent No.
2 768 469 and from the Swedish patent No. 207 698. The disad¬ vantages of these prior bait stations are that children, do¬ mestic animals and small birds can easily get hold of the po¬ ison bait. The present invention aims at eliminating this dis- advantage and the invention refers to a bait station includ¬ ing a housing with a chamber for storing the poison bait. The •invention is characterized by at least one piece of tubing which is arranged projecting from the housing and which ex¬ tends through the wall of the housing to communicate with the said chamber, whereby a tunnel is formed through which the nox¬ ious animal must pass to reach the poison bait. The piece of tubing projecting from the wall of the housing has a length which prevents the fingers of the child from reaching into the chamber with the poison bait. The diameter of the piece of tubing is of the order of some centimeters whereby domestic animals are prevented from passing into the tunnel. The small- -bird protection must be regarded as unique and is based on the anatomy of the birds. In their movement on the ground the birds do not have the possibility of bending their knees in the normal way but must move forward hopping. Therefore, they cannot pass through the tunnel, the diameter of which may be far exceed the size .of the bird.
The tunnel formed by the piece of tubing is preferably placed Inclined in relation to the chamber, so that drainage of any precipitation penetrated therein is obtained. At the bottom of the interior part of the respective tunnel a brush or
OMPI
Λ, WIIPPOO •- corresponding means is arranged the purpose of which is to re- move rests of poison bait which adhere to the fur, belly or legs of the animal after its visit to the bait chamber.
The invention will be described more closely below in connec¬ tion with the attached drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view, seen obliquely from above, of a bait station according to the present invention, Figure 2 shows a plane side view of the bait station of Figure 1, the lid being shown in closed position, and Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views through the piece of tubing shown in Figure 2, at the arrows A-A and B-B, respectively.
The bait station in Figure 1 includes a housing 1 which forms a chamber 2 for the poison bait- The housing 1 includes oppo¬ site pairs of side walls 3, 4 and 5, 6 and a bottom wall 7. The upper open end of the housing can be closed by a lid 8. A piece of tubing 9 extends through two openings arranged op¬ posite each other in the side walls 3, 4. The piece of tubing 9 completely fills up the said openings, not shown, so that leakage of poison bait does not occur. An opening 10 is made in the part of the piece of tubing 9 which is within the chamber 2. The opening is turned downwards and towards the sides of the chamber 2. The remaining part 11 of the wall not cut away of the piece of tubing 9 forms a roof which prevents that the poison bait get on to the back portion of the noxious animal. The housing 1 and the piece of tubing 9 are fixed to a triangular bottom plate 12. As will be seen from Figure 2 the piece of tubing 9 is inclined to the bottom plate 12, whereby drainage of any precipitation penetrated into the piece of tubing takes place. The lid 8 is fixed to the side wall 6 by means of hinges not shown. A locking device 13, 14 permits locking of the housing. The lid 8 is preferably provided with flaps 15, 16 turned downwards which flaps, in the opened po- sition of the lid, together with the main face of the lid form a channel which facilitates the filling-up of the poison bait and reduces the risk of spillage. On the bottom of the piece of tubing and at either end of the latter there is arranged a brush 17, the purpose of which is to wipe off possibly still adhering bait rests on the belly or legs of the noxious ani¬ mal after its visit to the bait chamber. For the same purpose a brush 18 may be arranged on each of the opposite sides of the tube wall. The placing of the brushes 17 and 18 is seen from the Figures 3 and 4.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention a single through piece of tubing 9 is used which may be said to form two tunnels which lead into the chamber from either side of the housing. Naturally, a bait station with only one tunnel may be used, the piece of tubing then ending within the bait chamber. According to the invention three or more pieces of tubing may also form tunnels which lead into the bait chamber. The pieces of tubing need not necessarily have circular cross- -seσtion but may be, for example, square. Further, the hous¬ ing does not necessarily need to have square cross-section but may, for example, consist of a circular cylinder. The pieces of tubing are preferably made of plastic. In the case where a through piece of tubing 9 is used the inclination in relation to the bottom plate 12 may be realized by heating the piece of tubing in the area of the bait chamber. If the bottom plate 12 is made of wood the housing 10 is preferably fixed to this plate by screws. It may also be convenient to fix the exterior end of the piece of tubing in the bottom plate by means of a screw.
The embodiments of the invention described above may be varied and modified in many different ways within the scope of the basic idea of the invention.
