Description

Trampa para palomas.Pigeon trap.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una trampa especialmente concebida para la captura de palomas en ciudades y poblaciones, donde dichas palomas se han convertido en un problema por su alta densidad de población.The present invention relates to a trap specially conceived for the capture of pigeons in cities and populations, where these pigeons have become a problem Because of its high population density.

La invención resulta de especial aplicación en terrazas y establecimientos públicos tales como bares, cafeterías, restaurantes y similares, donde estos animales constituyen una molestia para los clientes del establecimiento, que en ocasiones se convierte en un verdadero problema, como es el caso, mucho mas frecuente de lo que parece, de aquellas que padecen columbofobia.The invention is of special application in terraces and public establishments such as bars, cafes, restaurants and similar, where these animals constitute a annoyance for customers of the establishment, which sometimes It becomes a real problem, as is the case, much more Frequent than it seems, of those who suffer columbophobia

Es pues objeto de la invención "limpiar" de palomas determinadas zonas de los núcleos urbanos, procediendo a la captura de las mismas, sin producirlas el menor daño.It is therefore the object of the invention to "clean" of certain pigeons areas of urban centers, proceeding to the Capture them, without producing the least damage.

Background of the invention

Es sobradamente conocido en problema que supone la gran proliferación de palomas en las ciudades, las cuales dañan con sus excrementos la piedra de edificios históricos, provocando un deterioro importante de los mismos, y ello con independencia de otros problemas complementarios que genera dicha población excesiva de palomas.It is well known in problem the large proliferation of pigeons in cities, which damage with its droppings the stone of historical buildings, causing a significant deterioration thereof, and regardless of other complementary problems generated by this excessive population of pigeons

Esto ha llevado a los ayuntamientos a la decisión de cambiarlas de hábitat, capturándolas en las zonas de las ciudades en las que normalmente habitan.This has led municipalities to the decision to change them habitat, capturing them in the areas of the cities they normally inhabit.

Para la captura de las palomas se utilizan diferentes tipos de dispositivos. Uno de los sistemas comúnmente utilizados consiste en usar "cañones" capaces de lanzar una red sobre un grupo mas o menos numeroso de palomas, provocando la captura de las mismas cuando éstas se encuentran sobre el suelo.For the capture of the pigeons are used Different types of devices. One of the systems commonly used consists of using "cannons" capable of launching a network over a more or less numerous group of pigeons, causing capture of them when they are on the ground.

Esta solución no resulta aplicable a las terrazas anteriormente citadas, donde las mesas y sillas constituyen obstáculos para el lanzamiento de la red, y donde ésta puede además dañar o incomodar a los clientes.This solution is not applicable to terraces mentioned above, where tables and chairs they constitute obstacles to the launch of the network, and where it It can also damage or inconvenience customers.

El propio solicitante es titular del Modelo de Utilidad número 200602695, en el que se describe una jaula para captura de palomas, jaula que está provista de medios de acceso a su interior para las palomas, pero que sin embargo impiden la posterior salida de las mismas.The applicant himself is the owner of the Model Utility number 200602695, in which a cage is described for capture of pigeons, cage that is provided with means of access to inside for pigeons, but that nevertheless prevent subsequent departure from them.

Si bien esta solución podría ser viable en el caso previsto para la invención, la considerable volumetría de la jaula constituye un elemento claramente negativo en el aspecto ornamental de la terraza, y su propio tamaño y dimensiones no permite una fácil implantación y eliminación, que sería deseable en esta aplicación práctica, para utilizar la trampa exclusivamente en aquellas horas del día en las que existe menor afluencia de público, retirándola fácilmente cuando no se estima conveniente su presencia.While this solution could be viable in the case planned for the invention, the considerable volumetry of the cage constitutes a clearly negative element in appearance ornamental terrace, and its own size and dimensions not allows for easy implantation and removal, which would be desirable in this practical application, to use the trap exclusively in those hours of the day when there is less influx of public, easily withdrawing it when its presence.

Description of the invention

La trampa para palomas que la invención propone resuelve de manera plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, constituyendo un elemento estructuralmente sencillo, funcionalmente eficaz, fácilmente manejable por sus reducidas dimensiones, y además con una configuración sustancialmente plana, que hace a dicha jaula especialmente idónea para poder ser ubicada en cualquier lugar apropiado de una terraza, durante el tiempo que se estime conveniente, retirándola cuando no sea aconsejable su presencia y con una ocupación de espacio mínima, prácticamente despreciable por su configuración sustancialmente plana.The pigeon trap proposed by the invention solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, constituting a structurally element simple, functionally effective, easily manageable by its small dimensions, and also with a configuration substantially flat, which makes said cage especially suitable to be able to be located anywhere appropriate on a terrace, for as long as deemed convenient, removing it when not its presence is advisable and with a minimum space occupation, virtually negligible for its configuration substantially flat.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta la trampa para palomas que se preconiza está constituida a partir de una placa base, destinada a descansar sobre el suelo o sobre cualquier otro paramento apropiado, placa que puede ser de cualquier material apropiado, como por ejemplo metálica, de plástico, de madera, etc, con un grado de rigidez adecuado como para mantener el resto de la estructura de la trampa, y permitir la funcionalidad de dicha estructura.To do this and more specifically the trap to Pigeons that are recommended are made from a plate base, intended to rest on the ground or on any other appropriate face, plate that can be of any material appropriate, such as metal, plastic, wood, etc, with a degree of rigidity adequate to maintain the rest of the trap structure, and allow the functionality of said structure.

Sobre dicha placa base está montado, con posibilidad de basculación, un arco abatible al que es solidaria una red que a su vez queda convenientemente fijada a la placa base, a uno de los lados del citado arco, estableciendo un cierre sobre dicha placa base que impide el paso a las palomas.On said base plate it is mounted, with possibility of tilting, a collapsible arch to which it is solidary a network that in turn is conveniently attached to the motherboard, on one side of the aforementioned arch, establishing a closure on said base plate that prevents the passage to the pigeons.

Dicho arco tiende permanentemente a la situación de abatimiento sobre la placa base, de manera que la red define un receptáculo totalmente cerrado, tendencia que viene determinada por un muelle o resorte que asiste a dicho arco, como por ejemplo un muelle de torsión establecido sobre el imaginario eje de basculación del mismo.Said arch tends permanently to the situation of abatement on the motherboard, so that the network defines a fully enclosed receptacle, trend that is determined by a spring or spring that attends said arch, such as a torsion spring set on the imaginary axis of tilting it.

El arco incorpora, preferentemente en su zona media, un enganche que permite su fijación en situación de abatimiento sobre la placa base, y de máxima tensión para el citado muelle, enganche sobre el que actúa un pestillo situado en la extremidad correspondiente de la placa base, de manera que en condiciones normales dicha placa base ofrece un acceso directo a prácticamente toda su superficie, permitiendo el posado de las palomas sobre dicha placa base, atraídas por pienso, con el que se efectúa el cebado de las mismas, por parte del operario que controla la trampa. Cuando dicho operario estima conveniente la captura de las palomas situadas en la placa base actúa sobre el pestillo liberando el enganche del arco, con lo que éste bascula bruscamente hacia la situación contraria o de cierre, quedando las palomas atrapadas por la red.The arc incorporates, preferably in its area media, a hitch that allows its fixation in a situation of abatement on the base plate, and maximum tension for said spring, hook on which a latch located in the corresponding end of the motherboard, so that in normal conditions said motherboard offers direct access to practically all its surface, allowing the perching of the pigeons on said motherboard, attracted by feed, with which priming them, by the operator who Control the trap. When said operator considers the capture of the pigeons located on the motherboard acts on the latch releasing the bow hitch, thereby swinging sharply towards the opposite or closing situation, leaving the Pigeons trapped by the net.

El citado pestillo será accionado a distancia, preferentemente por control remoto, con el concurso de un sistema de transmisión de señales o de infrarrojos o de cualquier otro tipo inalámbrico, si bien puede ser accionado mediante un cable de conexión eléctrica o incluso mediante una transmisión mecánica, sin que el sistema elegido para el desbloqueo del arco afecte en absoluto a la esencia de la invención.The aforementioned latch will be operated remotely, preferably by remote control, with the contest of a system signal transmission or infrared or of any other type wireless, although it can be powered by a cable electrical connection or even by mechanical transmission, without that the system chosen for unlocking the arch affects absolute to the essence of the invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como la trampa para palomas que se preconiza está constituida a partir de una placa base (1), que en el ejemplo de realización práctica elegida adopta la configuración rectangular, pero que podría ser igualmente de contorno circunferencial, elíptico, o cualquier otro que se estime conveniente, en cualquier caso de unas dimensiones apropiadas para permitir el posado sobre la misma de varias palomas (2).In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the pigeon trap that is recommended is constituted from a base plate (1), which in the example of chosen practical implementation adopts the rectangular configuration, but that could be equally circumferential, elliptical, or any other deemed convenient, in any case of appropriate dimensions to allow perched on the same of several pigeons (2).

En correspondencia con el imaginario eje menor de la placa base (1) se une articuladamente a la misma un arco (3) de un material rígido, como por ejemplo una varilla metálica, que en el repetidamente citado ejemplo de realización práctica adopta una configuración semicircunferencial, pero que igualmente podría adoptar una configuración en "U" o cualquiera otra apropiada, uniéndose articuladamente dicho arco (3) por sus extremos a la placa base (1) y contando en su zona media con un enganche (4) materializado, por ejemplo, en una argolla.In correspondence with the imaginary minor axis of the base plate (1) an arc (3) joins it articulately of a rigid material, such as a metal rod, which in the repeatedly cited example of practical realization adopts a semi-circumferential configuration, but that could equally adopt a "U" configuration or any other appropriate one, said arc articulating jointly (3) at its ends to the motherboard (1) and counting in its middle area with a hitch (4) materialized, for example, in a ring.

Al menos uno de los extremos del arco (3) y en correspondencia con su punto de abisagramiento a la placa base (1), incorpora un muelle (5), y en contra del cual dicho arco (3) es susceptible de bascular hacia la otra situación límite, la mostrada en la figura 1, en la que el muelle (5) queda tensado al máximo y en la que el arco (3) queda bloqueado, a través de su enganche (4), con la colaboración de un pestillo (6), que como anteriormente se ha dicho es accionable por el operario que vigila y manipula la trampa.At least one of the ends of the arch (3) and in correspondence with its hinge point to the motherboard (1), incorporates a spring (5), and against which said arch (3) is susceptible of tilting towards the other limit situation, the one shown in figure 1, in which the spring (5) is fully tensioned and in which the arch (3) is blocked, through its hitch (4), with the collaboration of a latch (6), which as previously has said it is operable by the operator who monitors and manipulates the trap.

Al arco (3) es solidaria una red (7), red que es solidaria también a los bordes de la placa base (1) situados a uno de los lados del arco (3), concretamente al lado en el que se sitúa el pestillo (6), estando dicha red (7) suficientemente sobredimensionada como para que, a partir de la situación de plegada mostrada en la figura 1, sea capaz de extenderse hasta la situación de cierre mostrada en la figura 3, en la que mediante el contacto directo del arco (3) con la placa base (1) se configura un receptáculo (8), totalmente cerrado, que impide la huida de las palomas que se encontraban sobre la placa base (1) en el momento en el que se produce el cierre de la trampa.To the arch (3) a network (7), network that is also attached to the edges of the base plate (1) located at one from the sides of the arch (3), specifically to the side where it is located the latch (6), said net (7) being sufficiently oversized so that, from the situation of folded shown in figure 1, be able to extend to the closing situation shown in figure 3, in which by means of the direct contact of the arc (3) with the base plate (1) a receptacle (8), fully enclosed, which prevents the escape of pigeons that were on the motherboard (1) at the time the one that occurs the closing of the trap.

Preferentemente el pestillo (6) será un pestillo electrónico, accionado por ejemplo mediante un pequeño electroimán alimentado por una pila o un juego de pilas y asistido por un receptor capaz de recibir la señal generada por un emisor en poder del operario, de manera que a partir de la situación de apertura de la trampa mostrada en la figura 1, y tras un cebado de las palomas (2) mediante pienso (9) depositado sobre la placa base (1), cuando una o varias palomas se sitúan sobre dicha placa base (1) el operario actúa sobre el pulsador de su emisor provocando la liberación del enganche (4) y la brusca basculación del arco (3) hacia la situación de cierre mostrada en la figura 3, en la que las palomas resultan capturadas.Preferably the latch (6) will be a latch electronic, operated for example by a small electromagnet powered by a battery or a set of batteries and assisted by a receiver capable of receiving the signal generated by a transmitter in power of the operator, so that from the opening situation of the trap shown in figure 1, and after priming the pigeons (2) by feed (9) deposited on the base plate (1), when one or more pigeons are placed on said base plate (1) the Operator acts on the button of his transmitter causing the release of the hitch (4) and the sharp swinging of the bow (3) towards the closing situation shown in figure 3, in which the Pigeons are captured.

Evidentemente el citado electroimán puede ser alimentado directamente a través de un interruptor, situado igualmente a distancia unido con dicho pestillo mediante un cable de longitud apropiada.Obviously said electromagnet can be fed directly through a switch, located also remotely connected to said latch by means of a cable of appropriate length.

También existe la posibilidad de que el pestillo sea de accionamiento mecánico, accionable concretamente mediante un alambre enfundado u otro elemento similar, también con un mando de accionamiento suficientemente distanciado de la trampa como para que la presencia del operario no interfiera en el acceso de las palomas a la trampa.There is also the possibility that the latch be mechanically operated, specifically operable by means of a sheathed wire or other similar element, also with a remote control sufficiently spaced from the trap to that the presence of the operator does not interfere with the access of Pigeons to trap.

Volviendo nuevamente al muelle (5) que provoca la brusca basculación del arco (3), dicho muelle puede trabajar a compresión, como en la representación gráfica de las figuras, o bien puede tratarse de un muelle de torsión montado sobre un eje que relacione los dos extremos del arco (3), o utilizarse cualquier otro tipo de muelle que cumpla la misma función.Going back to the pier (5) that causes the sharp tilting of the arc (3), said spring can work at compression, as in the graphic representation of the figures, or it may well be a torsion spring mounted on a shaft that relates the two ends of the arc (3), or use any another type of spring that fulfills the same function.
