Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to an insect trap that captures insects such as ants by inhalation.The purpose of this device is to position the suction port at the tip of the trap case near the insects, and then use the grip to hold the device. When the stopper is engaged and disengaged, a cover pin-supported on the main body opens and a bellows-shaped suction pump extends, thereby sucking and capturing insects into the case. It can be conveniently used by children who cannot hold it in their hands.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a trap with a novel configuration that does not exist in the past and has high practical value.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body having a grip portion 1a, and a box portion 1b with an open upper surface and front end surface has an air intake port 2a on the front side. A connecting tube 2 with an open top end is fitted and fixed.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a cover pivotably supported by a pinch on the front end upper bracket portion of the main body box portion 1b so as to be openable and closable, and a closing lid latching protrusion 3a is provided at the free end on the opening side of the cover 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a latch body provided on the main body grip portion 1a so as to rotate about a pivot pin 6, and this latch body 5 is removable from the finger push operation portion 5a and the closing lid latch protrusion 3a. The cover 3 has a cover engaging portion 5b, and the cover 3 can be unlatched by operating the main body grip portion 1a with the hand.

7 is a bellows opening 7 at the upper end opening of the main body connection tube 2.
This is a bellows-shaped suction pump in which the bellows a is inserted and fixed, and the bellows pressing part 7b is brought into contact with the inner surface of the cover 3, and this pump is contracted by closing the cover 3 and engages the hooking body 5. When the cover 3 is removed, it is elastically expanded to open the cover 3. In this embodiment, the elastic force for opening the cover utilizes the elastic restoring force of the bellows itself, but another elastic means such as a spring (not shown in the figure) is used to open the cover. It is also possible to utilize the elastic force caused by

Reference numeral 8 denotes an insect trapping case made of transparent synthetic resin and having a shape as shown in the drawing.The case 8 has an insect suction port 8a at the tip, and an opening 8b at the rear end of the case is connected to the main body connecting tube 2. It is connected to the intake port 2a and fitted and fixed inside the main body box portion 1b. A net 9 is stretched over the rear end opening 8b of the trapping case 8 to prevent insects sucked into the case 8 from being sucked into the suction pump 7 side.

Thus, the trap having the above structure is in a state where the cover 3 is closed and latched as shown in FIG. 1 (in this state, the suction pump 7 is contracted by closing the cover),
Position the tip suction port 8a of the capture case 8 near the insect, and use your hand to hold the main body grip 1a to hold the catch 5.
When the engagement and disengagement operation is performed, the cover 3 is moved to the second position.
When the bellows-shaped suction pump 7 is opened as shown in the figure and extends, insects can be sucked into the case 8 and captured by the air suction action of the pump 7.

Since the trap of this invention is as described above, it is as simple as positioning the suction port at the tip of the trapping case near the insects and engaging and disengaging the latch body with your hand holding the grip of the main body. With this simple operation, insects such as ants can be inhaled and captured inside the case without causing any damage, and can be conveniently used by children who cannot hold insects with their hands.
It becomes possible to provide an inhalation type trap with a high practical value with a novel configuration that has not existed in the past.
