Description

The present invention relates to a pest trap for capturing pests in a home, office or the like.

Conventional pest traps for catching pests have a stationary type (poison bait, adhesive type) and pests that can be captured when the pests pass by placing a capture device on the floor of the room where the pests pass. There are known a drug spraying type that sprays a drug to a place where the pest is killed and a capture type that specially devises to capture the pest.

By the way, the above-mentioned deferment method has the disadvantages that it takes a long time to capture since it catches the passage of pests, and the capture rate is low, so that it cannot be reliably captured.
If the drug spraying type is sprayed with drugs repeatedly, there is a concern that the resistance of pests is increased and the human body is adversely affected. In addition, there is a problem that there is an unpleasant and cumbersome work of disposing of the exterminated pests by wrapping them with paper.
Furthermore, there is a disadvantage that neither the stationary type nor the medicine spraying type can be used in a home with pets.
Recently, instead of the stationary type and the chemical spraying type, the capture type has come to be used a lot.

This conventional capture type example (Patent Document 1) will be described with reference to FIG.
This pest trap has a plate attached to the tip of a stick, a tape cutter attached to the tip of this plate, a sponge attached as an elastic body to the back of the plate, a bent plate on the front side of the back, and an elastic body made of rubber It is attached to the side surface of the sponge used as a protruding position from the bottom surface. Then put it on the pests you want to get rid of. The pests can then be caught on the adhesive tape and captured.

In the invention described in Patent Document 1, a part of a pest carcass is scattered between the adhesive tape surface and the floor surface, and the floor surface becomes dirty. There is a problem that the pest carcasses attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape must be removed by hand, which is unsanitary and gives the treatment person a bad feeling.

  As described above, conventional pest traps cannot be reliably controlled, and need to be handled in an unpleasant and annoying way, such as wrapping the pests with paper, etc. There is a problem that it is not possible.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of such a conventional configuration, and to realize a pest trap that is safe, reliable, and does not involve unpleasant work.

The present invention provides means for solving the following problems in order to achieve the above object.
That is, the present invention provides a fixed frame, a movable frame connected to the fixed frame and foldable with respect to the fixed frame, an adhesive tape stretched between the fixed frame and the movable frame, and the fixed frame A stick attached to the fixed frame and the movable frame, and the fixed frame and the handle are connected via a leaf spring whose angle can be adjusted arbitrarily. A rubber-like sheet is disposed on the tape, and the movable frame is folded with respect to the fixed frame to surround the pest and capture the pest.

The operation of the present invention is as follows. When the handle is gripped and the fixed frame and the movable frame are thrown toward the pest, the pest is attached to the adhesive tape stretched between the fixed frame and the movable frame. Next, when the movable frame is folded, the pest is surrounded between the fixed frame and the movable frame. Further, since the fixed frame and the handle are connected via a leaf spring whose angle can be adjusted arbitrarily, the position of the handle can be flexibly dealt with the fixed frame. Further, since a rubber band is disposed on the adhesive tape stretched between the fixed frame and the movable frame, when the pest is attached to the adhesive surface, The movable frame can be folded while being pulled with a rubber band.

In the present invention, the fixed frame and the movable frame connected to the fixed frame and foldable with respect to the fixed frame are provided, and the adhesive tape is disposed between the fixed frame and the movable frame. Once captured, folding the movable frame with respect to the fixed frame has the effect of being surrounded by the fixed frame and the movable frame without time for pests to escape.

In addition, the fixed frame and the handle are connected via a leaf spring that can adjust the angle arbitrarily, so the angle of the handle can be adjusted arbitrarily with respect to the fixed frame, and the front side of the movable frame and fixed frame can be held with the handle. When trying to capture pests in close contact with the floor or wall surface, the pattern can change freely according to the fixed frame, so the angle between the pattern and the fixed frame is determined in advance. Compared to a vessel, it has good operability and can easily capture pests.

In addition, since a rubber band is placed on the adhesive tape, the pests can be folded while pulling on the rubber band after the pest adheres to the adhesive surface. There is an effect that it can be folded without requiring extra labor.
Furthermore, when discarding the pest carcasses attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape, you can simply hold the folded rubber band with your hand and discard the adhesive sheet. There is an effect that no work is involved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a pest trap of the present invention as seen from the surface. In the figure, (1) a rectangular movable frame, which is made of a plastic or wooden lightweight one. A sponge-like elastic band (2) is placed on and attached to the lightweight frame.
(4) is a fixed frame which is made of a light wooden or plastic material similar to the movable frame (1). The movable frame (1) is connected by a hinge-like mechanism (3), and the movable frame (1) can be folded with respect to the fixed frame (4) as shown in FIG. As with the movable frame (1), the fixed frame (4) is mounted with a sponge-like elastic band (2) mounted thereon.

As shown in FIG. 6, there is an elastic band (2) so that the movable frame (1) does not directly contact the fixed frame (4) when the movable frame (1) is folded into the fixed frame (4). . Since this elastic band (2) is interposed between the movable frame (1) and the fixed frame (4), both the fixed frame (4) and the movable frame (4) are damaged even if the movable frame (4) is folded vigorously. Will not cause.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a rod-shaped handle (7) is attached to the fixed frame (4) via a leaf spring (5). The leaf spring (5) is configured to be able to arbitrarily adjust the angle with respect to the fixed frame (4). Therefore, when holding the handle (7) and bringing the movable frame and the front side of the fixed frame into close contact with the floor or wall surface to capture pests, the angle of the pattern can be freely changed corresponding to the fixed frame. Therefore, compared to a conventional insect trap with a predetermined angle between the handle and the fixed frame, the operability is good and the insect trap can be easily performed.

A leaf spring-like adhesive tape fixture (6) is formed at the base end of the handle (7). A space S is formed between the fixed frame (4) and the movable frame (1). As shown in FIG. 2, the void S is attached so as to cover an adhesive tape (8) in the form of a gum tape for depositing pests.
A method for attaching the adhesive tape (8) will be described. FIG. 3 shows the pest trap of the present invention as seen from the back side, and an adhesive tape fixture (10) is attached to the frame surface on the back side of the movable frame (1) as shown in FIGS. .

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the adhesive tape fixture (10) has an M-type adhesive tape cradle (10b) mounted on the movable frame (1) and a protrusion at the center. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape pressure contact piece (10a). One end of the adhesive tape (8) is inserted between the adhesive tape cradle (10b) and the adhesive tape pressure contact piece (10a), and after being inserted, the pressure sensitive adhesive tape pressure contact piece (10a) is pushed down and the adhesive tape (8) is inserted. Is fixed to the adhesive tape fixture (10).
In this way, the other end of the adhesive tape (8) having one end fixed to the frame surface on the back side of the movable frame (1) is reversed to the front side as shown in FIG. 3, and the movable frame (1) as shown in FIG. And a space S formed between the frame and the fixed frame (4).

The other end of the adhesive tape (8) covering the void S formed between the movable frame (1) and the fixed frame (4) is a leaf spring adhesive tape formed on the handle (7). It is fixed to the fixture (6). When the space S is covered with the adhesive tape (8) in this way, a recess L is formed there as shown in FIG.
A rubber band (9) such as a rubber band as shown in FIG. 2 is attached above the adhesive tape (8). This rubber band (9) protrudes from between the folded adhesive tape (8) when the pest carcasses attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape (8) is discarded. The adhesive sheet can be discarded by holding the band (9) by hand. Therefore, it does not involve troublesome work such as wrapping pests with paper.

A method of using the insect trap configured as described above will be described. First, with the movable frame (1) and the fixed frame (4) in a horizontal position so-called open state, hold the handle (7) and place the front side of the movable frame (1) and the fixed frame (4) on the floor or wall. Adhesive tape (8) is attached in the recess L to the insect pests to be captured in close contact.
When the pest is attached to the adhesive tape (8), the movable frame (1) is folded against the fixed frame (4) as shown in FIG. Next, the adhesive tape (8) is removed from the adhesive tape fixture (10) attached to the movable frame (1). After removing the adhesive tape (8) from the adhesive tape fixture (10) in this way, the movable frame (1) is returned to the horizontal position, and the adhesive tape fixture (6) attached to the fixed frame (4). Remove the adhesive tape (8).

The adhesive tape (8) which has become free from both adhesive tape fixtures (6, 10) is removed from the catcher with the rubber band (9) such as the rubber band by hand and discarded. In this way, since the pests can be discarded by hand with the rubber band (9), it does not involve troublesome operations such as wrapping the pests in paper and is hygienic.
