Abstract

This invention relates to a practical insect trapping apparatus that enables the insect to be transported from one area to another without harming the living thing and its feature is; a cage (2) fixed on the rod (1) by means of the shaft (6), a cover (3), which performs the opening-closing function by means of the hinge (3.1) by making a back-and-forth movement on the cage (2), a rail (5), which includes two nail (5.1) structures formed on the rod (1), a pin (4) moving up and down on the rail (5), a rope (7) or wire that provides the connection between the pin (4) and the hinge (3.1).

Description

PRACTICAL INSECT CATCHING APPARATUS

Technical Field:

This invention relates to a practical insect trapping apparatus that enables the insect to be transported from one area to another without harming the living thing.

State of the Art:

There are many applications currently used to repel flies and insects from the environment. These; chemical drugs such as aerosol, tablet and foam, spiral, insect-killing electric lamps, ultrasonic sound wave emitting devices, fly and insect traps, adhesive fly tape, fly and bee repellent wristbands.

Chemical drugs such as aerosols, tablets and foam produced cause serious harm to people through the respiratory tract, as with other chemicals. At the same time, it leaves irreversible traces on nature and the ozone layer. The main problems of the spiral product are that it can cause a fire during its use, that food and drink cannot be consumed, that it cannot be used indoors, that people with asthma cannot be found in the used environment. The active ingredient (prallethrin) in the electro-liquid and tablets on the market has possible side effects for human health such as respiratory allergy, shortness of breath, cough, and contact dermatitis. However, the short life of electro-liquid and tablets causes buyers to bear a constant cost. Many pharmacies do not even sell these products because they know such harms.

Fly-killing electric lamps kill with electricity and leave an irritating, long-lasting odor to the environment. They also consume a lot of electricity and create an unhygienic environment. Due to the fact that the dead flies stick to the device and are difficult to clean, the reproduction of bacteria and the harm to the environment are among the disadvantages of these products. Devices emitting ultrasonic sound waves will lose their protection effect in case of any malfunction and will not be able to function. At the same time, these devices only cater to a single insect species. The fact that many of these devices are constantly plugged into the socket poses the risk of causing fires in any electrical problem, as well as disrupting the electrical installation of the place where it is located.

For these reasons, there is a need for an insect repellant that does not use chemicals that will harm the environment and people in the removal of insects in the area, allows insects to escape instead of killing them, reduces electricity consumption, makes the environment a pleasant place and prevents people from worrying about hygiene.

An environmentally friendly mosquito repellent lamp is mentioned in the Chinese patent document numbered CN107296039, which is in the state of the art. Fly repellent lamp; an illumination lamp includes a power source for supplying power to the illumination lamp, a light transmitting container. The light produced by the light source is refracted by the light-permeable container filled with water and a dazzling light group is formed. This group of lights creates a strange image in the eyes of mosquitoes and insects with compound eyes, such as mosquitoes, and causes them to run away. Thus, an environmentally friendly fly repellent without any chemical and pharmaceutical ingredients is obtained.

Consequently, there is a need for new technology that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

Description of the Invention:

The main purpose of our system, which is the subject of the invention, is to take the insects from one area to another area in an easy way without the need for methods such as pesticides, physical damage, ultrasonic waves, traps, etc.. With this method, there is no need to kill the insect, and the need to clean the remaining insect filth is eliminated. Since our invention will be used by means of a stick, it is possible to collect insects even in areas that are difficult to reach. The rod can be designed as telescopic, it can be extended to the desired length when desired.

The parts of the invention have a very simple structure, their installation is simple, and the cost of parts is low. It does not have a complex mechanism structure.

Description of the Figures:

The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying figures, so that the features of the invention will be more clearly understood and appreciated, but the purpose of this is not to limit the invention to these certain regulations. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, changes and equivalences that can be included in the area of the invention defined by the accompanying claims. The details shown should be understood that they are shown only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are presented in order to provide the most convenient and easily understandable description of both the shaping of methods and the rules and conceptual features of the invention.

Detailed Description of The Invention:

The parts constituting the invention are basically; rod (1), cage (2), cover (3), pin (4), rail (5), shaft (6) and rope (7). The cover (3) has a hinge (3.1) part. There are two nails (5.1) on the rail (5).

The cage (2) is fixed on the rod (1) by means of the shaft (6). There is a cover (3) on the cage (2). The cover (3) has a hinge (3.1) on one side. There is a rail (5) on the rod (1) and a pin (4) moving up and down on the rail (5). The connection relationship between the pin (4) and the hinge (3.1) is provided by a rope (7) or wire.

The apparatus subject to the invention functions as follows; By holding the rod (1), the person can direct the cage (2) in any direction. After the cage (2) is positioned on the insect to be caught, the pin (4) on the rod (1) is released. With the effect of the spring, the cover (3) moves forward rapidly, and the insect is trapped in the cage (2). When it comes to the environment where the insect should be free, the pin (4) is pulled down and the spring is forced. The pin (4) is left in the nail (5.1) to keep it fixed. Meanwhile, the cover (3) is opened by moving back and the insect is released. In the alternative system, the mechanism can be brought into working condition with button and piston movements.

Claims

CLAIMS - The invention relates to a practical insect trapping device, and its feature is; a cage (2) fixed on the rod (1) by means of the shaft (6), a cover (3), which performs the opening-closing function by means of the hinge (3.1) by making a back-and-forth movement on the cage (2), a rail (5), which includes two nail (5.1) structures formed on the rod (1), a pin (4) moving up and down on the rail (5), a rope (7) or wire that provides the connection between the pin (4) and the hinge (3.1).
