Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cockroach trap that improves the capture probability of cockroaches that have entered the trap, and simplifies the production line and reduces production costs by separating the production lines of the trap body and the adhesive sheet. both
Background Art
[0002] Many of the conventional household cockroach traps in circulation are structured to guide cockroaches that approach a trap body formed by assembling a single cardboard sheet into a house shape to an attractant disposed at the center of a bottom plate coated with an adhesive material on its entire surface. Even when a cockroach is attracted by the attractant and approaches an entrance such as an inclined tread board or window of the trap body, due to being away from the attractant disposed at the center of the bottom plate, the attracting effect of the odor of the attractant is weak, and the defensive instinct to feel danger to itself often prevails over being attracted by the odor of the attractant, and it sometimes turns back from the leading edge of the tread board. Since cockroaches that have learned this to some extent are less likely to approach again, the problem that the capture probability decreases accordingly could not be solved.
[0003] In addition, a disposable cockroach trap is provided that can discard the dead body of the captured cockroach and the captured cockroach trap simultaneously without directly viewing the dead body of the cockroach.
[0004] As an example of the above-described assembled cockroach trap, for example, a single cardboard sheet punched into a predetermined shape is assembled to form it, an adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the cockroach trap, and parallel fold lines are provided on both sides of a bottom plate with an attractant distributed at its center, and both side plates and a ceiling plate are bent and formed. Further, inclined tread boards are formed at both ends of the bottom plate to effectively obstruct the walking of cockroaches that have entered the inside of the trap, thereby reliably preventing escape to the outside of the trap. A "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 1) has been proposed.
[0005] However, the proposed "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 1) is a cockroach trap in which the adhesive portion applied to the upper surface of the bottom of the trap body has multiple protrusions arranged in a row, and at least a portion of the protrusions are bent horizontally. Therefore, it is merely a means of hindering the movement of cockroaches that have entered the trap by improving the shape of the adhesive portion, and it is not a cockroach trap that has a means of preventing cockroaches from escaping to the outside of the trap by the physical means that make up the trap.
[0006] Furthermore, a "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 2) has been proposed that makes it difficult to see inside the cockroach trap.
[0007] However, the proposed "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 2) only involves raising the roof opening section and roof opening knob on the side plate, separating the roof portion from the side plate along the separation section to form the roof, folding the roof upwards from the roof opening section to open a large entry point and a large entry window. Therefore, it merely eliminates the unpleasantness of directly looking at cockroaches caught in the adhesive when checking the cockroach trap's capture status in use, and for women who are reluctant to move the trap in use or dispose of used traps, it simply eliminates visual discomfort. It is not a proposal for a cockroach trap that improves the capture rate or reduces production costs.
[0008] In light of the above-mentioned problems, the applicant conceived the idea of improving the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the cockroach trap while simultaneously reducing production costs. As a result, the applicant developed a cockroach trap that improves the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the trap, and simplifies the manufacturing line and reduces production costs by separating the manufacturing lines for the trap body and the adhesive sheet, leading to the proposal of the "cockroach trap" in the present invention.

[0023] The cockroach trap 10 in the present invention improves the probability of capturing cockroaches G that enter the cockroach trap 10. both Its most distinctive feature is the adoption of measures to simplify the manufacturing line and reduce production costs. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0024] Furthermore, the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, that is, within the range of shapes and dimensions that can achieve the same effect. Furthermore, the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is described in relation to the large Oriental cockroach and the small German cockroach. [Examples]
[0025] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 1(a) is an exploded perspective view of the cockroach trap 10. The cockroach trap 10 in this invention employs a method in which the adhesive sheet 22 and the trap body 11 are separated.
[0026] The trap body 11 is assembled by cutting out the outer shape of a single cardboard base that forms the bottom portion 12, two side portions 13, and top portion 14 into a predetermined shape, and folding along multiple folding lines 15. The bottom portion 12 has a rectangular flat area that accommodates the adhesive sheet 22. The two side portions 13 that rise from the sides of the bottom portion 12 have entry windows 18 formed by cut lines 16 and push-in holes 20 that hold down the adhesive sheet 22. The top portion 14 is provided with two interlocking means 21 that are divided into two parts and engage with each other. When the trap body 11 is assembled, a tunnel-shaped entry opening 17 is formed on the front and rear sides, and entry windows 18 are provided on both the left and right sides of the side portions 13. Both top and bottom edges To make entry easier And To obstruct escape It is equipped with an inner upper gap surface 19a and an inner lower gap surface 19b. It consists of a trapdoor trap 19. In terms of dimensions, it is assembled into a trapezoidal hollow box shape with a length of approximately 170 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a height of 40 mm. Furthermore, by separating the manufacturing line for the trap body 11 from the manufacturing line for the adhesive sheet 22, it is possible to simultaneously simplify the manufacturing equipment and improve production efficiency.
[0027] The bottom portion 12 has a rectangular, flat area that provides space for the adhesive sheet 22 to be placed.
[0028] The side portion 13 has two side portions 13 that rise from the sides of the bottom portion 12, each of which has an entry window 18 formed by a cut line 16 and a push-in hole 20 for holding down the adhesive sheet 22.
[0029] The top surface portion 14 is formed by providing two interlocking engagement means 21 that are divided into two parts and engage with each other.
[0030] The folding line 15 is formed by folding the trap body 11 in multiple ways to create a trapezoidal hollow box shape.
[0031] The cut line 16 forms an entry window 18 and a push-in hole 20 that holds down the adhesive sheet 22.
[0032] The entry point 17 is a tunnel-shaped entrance formed on the front and rear sides of the trap body 11 when the trap body 11 is assembled.
[0033] The entry point 18 is an entry point provided in the two side sections 13 that rise from the side of the bottom section 12.
[0034] The trap 19 is formed to mimic the structure of a fish trap from which fish cannot escape once they enter. It is formed by installing tunnel-shaped entry points 17 on the front and rear sides when the trap body 11 is assembled, and on both the upper and lower edges of the entry windows 18 provided on the side section 13. .too The Ndori Trap 19 has an inclination angle of 30 to 45 degrees. It is provided, This angle of inclination is necessary to prevent cockroaches from touching the adhesive surface when they attempt to enter the cockroach trap 10. Furthermore, it is preferable that the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap 19, which is provided on both the upper and lower edges of the entrance 17 and the entrance window 18, hangs down with a slightly obtuse angle of inclination relative to the top surface 14. (See Figures 1(c) and (d))
[0035] The push-in holes 20 are punched holes formed in a shape that presses down from above when the adhesive sheet 22 is placed on the upper surface of the bottom portion 12. The punched-out lid is then bent towards the upper surface of the adhesive sheet 22 to adhere and secure it.
[0036] The insertion engagement means 21 is formed by dividing the top surface 14 of the trap body 11 into two parts and forming a recess with a convex portion that engages with each other and a notched line 16, and its shape, structure, and means are not particularly limited.
[0037] The adhesive sheet 22 consists of a rectangular base 23 placed on the bottom surface 12 of the trap body 11, an adhesive layer 24 applied to the surface of the base 23, and a release paper 25 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 24. Furthermore, by separating the manufacturing line for the adhesive sheet 22 from the manufacturing line for the trap body 11, it is possible to simultaneously simplify the manufacturing equipment and improve production efficiency.
[0038] Incidentally, the main components of adhesives are primarily acrylic, rubber, and silicone, and they are used differently depending on the application. Acrylic adhesives offer excellent durability and transparency, rubber adhesives are inexpensive and widely used, and silicone adhesives have excellent heat and water resistance. Also, the adhesive effect of adhesives gradually weakens after about a month, so they need to be replaced promptly if a considerable amount of time has passed since installation.
[0039] The trapping function works by slowing down the escape speed of cockroaches G when their antennae come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trapping trap 19, causing the cockroach G to sense the presence of an obstacle, and then having part of its body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the probability of capture.
[0040] Figure 1(b) is an exploded view of the trap body 11. The cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is formed by die-cutting a single flat cardboard base that forms the bottom portion 12, two side portions 13, and top portion 14 into a predetermined shape. Since the manufacturing line can be operated solely by press processing, which performs folding and cutting processes simultaneously, manufacturing costs can be reduced.
[0041] Figure 1(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the cockroach trap 10 in use. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter the cockroach trap 10 through the front entrance 17 climb the ramp of the trap 19 located below the entrance 17. At that time, the cockroach's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the sticky layer 24, so the cockroach easily enters the trap body 11. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the slope of the trap 19 at the front entrance 17, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) The cockroach G, sensing the presence of the sticky layer 24 with its antennae and legs, flees towards the rear entrance 17. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, increasing the chances of capture. (4) By climbing up the tip of the ramp of the trap 19 located below the entrance 17, the cockroach G's weight is placed on its hind legs and part of its body or legs adhere to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (5) When the cockroach G's antennae come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the entrance 17 in the direction of escape, it senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and a part of the cockroach G's body or legs sticks to the adhesive layer 24, thereby improving the probability of capture. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the entrance 17. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower gap surface 19b of the trap trap 19 provided on the lower edge of the entrance 17, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, thus improving the capture rate.
[0042] Figure 1(d) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the usage of the cockroach trap 10. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter through the entry window 18 on the side of the cockroach trap 10 climb the ramp of the trap 19 located below the entry window 18 on the side of the cockroach trap 10. At that time, the cockroach G's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the adhesive layer 24, allowing it to easily enter the trap body 11. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the slope of the trap 19 at the front entrance 17, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) When a cockroach G senses the presence of the sticky layer 24, it flees towards the entrance 17 on the front or rear side. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, increasing the chances of capture. (4) By climbing up the tip of the ramp of the trap 19 located below the entrance 17 and entrance window 18, the cockroach G's weight is placed on its hind legs and part of its body or legs adhere to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the probability of capture. (5) When the antennae of the cockroach G come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the entrance 17, the cockroach G senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and a part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 24, thereby improving the probability of capture. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the entrance 17. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower gap surface 19b of the trap trap 19 provided on the lower edge of the entrance 17, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, thus improving the capture rate. Furthermore, by adding a fold line 15 to the base of the horizontal flap 34 that covers the entry window 18 provided on the side portion 13 and folding it inward, an inner upper gap surface 19a can be formed in the trap trap 19.
[0043] The cockroach trap 10, as described above, has tunnel-shaped entry points 17 on the front and rear sides of the trap body 11, and entry windows 18 on both the left and right sides of the side section 13. On both the top and bottom edges The cockroach trap 10 is equipped with a unique trap 19 that ensures the capture of cockroaches G that enter the trap. Furthermore, by separating the manufacturing lines for the trap body 11 and the adhesive sheet 22, the aim is to provide a cockroach trap 10 that simultaneously simplifies the manufacturing equipment and improves production efficiency. [Examples]
[0044] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 2(a) is an overall perspective view of the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention. Figure 2(b) shows the present invention. Trap body 11 This is a diagram of the unfolded form. Figure 2(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention. Figure 2(d) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention. The cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is a cockroach trap 10 assembled from a single sheet of cardboard, the cockroach trap 10 consists of a trap body 11 which is assembled into a trapezoidal hollow box shape by cutting out the outer shape of a single sheet of cardboard that forms a bottom portion 12, two side portions 13 and a top portion 14 into a predetermined shape, and folding along a plurality of folding lines 15, the trap body 11 which has an adhesive layer 24 applied to the surface of the bottom portion 12 and a release paper 25 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 24, the two side portions 13 which rise from the sides of the bottom portion 12 of the trap body 11 which have entry windows 18 formed by cut lines 16, the top portion 14 which has two divided insert engagement means 21 that engage with each other, and a tunnel-shaped entry entrance 17 formed on the front and rear sides when the trap body 11 is assembled and entry windows 18 provided on both the left and right sides of the side portions 13 On both the top and bottom edges, Making entry easier And To obstruct escape It is equipped with an inner upper gap surface 19a and an inner lower gap surface 19b. This method involves setting up a trap 19.
[0045] The trap body 11 has tunnel-shaped entry points 17 formed on the front and rear sides, and entry windows 18 provided on both the left and right sides of the side section. On both the top and bottom edges, Making entry easier And To obstruct escape It is equipped with an inner upper gap surface 19a and an inner lower gap surface 19b. By incorporating the 19 trap, it is possible to produce the conventional disposable, assembly-type cockroach trap without changing the manufacturing process. Incidentally, while many conventional paper-based, assembly-type cockroach traps have sloping ramps at the bottom of the entrance or entry point to facilitate cockroach entry, to the best of the applicant's knowledge, there are no cockroach traps equipped with a trapping function that prevents cockroaches from escaping once they have entered the trap, such as the cockroach trap 10 of the present invention. [Examples]
[0046] Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 3(a) is an overall perspective view of the attractant 30 of the cockroach trap 10. The cockroach trap 10 in this invention has a rod-shaped attractant 30 positioned horizontally to the entrance 17 in the center of the adhesive layer 24, and the trap body 1 1 This method involves providing an escape obstruction flap 31 hanging down from the upper center of the inner side of the top surface 14.
[0047] Figure 3(b) is an exploded view of the trap body 11. The cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is formed by cutting a single flat cardboard base into a predetermined shape, which forms the bottom portion 12, two side portions 13, and the top portion 14. The trap body 11 is provided with an escape obstruction flap 31 on the top portion 14.
[0048] The attractant 30 is manufactured as a liquid made from food-derived ingredients such as fish meal and sugars, and is applied to the surface of a solid rod-shaped material having predetermined dimensions (approximately 155 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 10 mm in height), and positioned horizontally relative to the entrance 17. Furthermore, since the attractant 30 loses its attractive effect after about one month, it needs to be replaced promptly if a long time has passed since installation.
[0049] The escape obstruction flap 31 has an attractant 30 in the center of the top surface 14 of the trap body 11. Flap for preventing escape, positioned laterally to the entrance 17 Therefore, when a cockroach G attempts to jump over the attractant 30, its antennae come into contact with the escape obstruction flap 31, causing it to recognize that there is an obstacle in its escape route and slowing down its escape speed.
[0050] Figure 3(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the cockroach trap 10 in use. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter the cockroach trap 10 through the front entrance 17 climb the ramp of the trap 19 located below the side entrance 17. At that time, the cockroach's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the sticky layer 24, so the cockroach easily enters the trap body 11. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the slope of the trap 19 at the front entrance 17, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) When the cockroach G senses the presence of the sticky layer 24, it flees towards the rear entrance 17. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, increasing the chances of capture. (4) When a cockroach G attempts to jump over the attractant 30 which is positioned horizontally to the entrance 17, near the upper center of the inside of the top surface 14 of the trap body 11 It hangs downWhen the cockroach's antennae come into contact with the escape obstruction flap 31, it senses an obstacle in its escape route, slowing its escape speed. Furthermore, as the cockroach's body turns upward, part of its body or legs adhere to the adhesive layer 24, improving the chances of capture. (5) Furthermore, if the cockroach G tries to escape, it can climb the tip of the ramp section of the trap 19 located below the rear entrance 17 and the left and right entrance windows 18, causing the cockroach G's weight to be on its hind legs and part of its body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (6) When the antennae of the cockroach G come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the rear entrance 17, the cockroach G senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and a part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 24, thereby improving the probability of capture. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper gap surface 19a of the trap trap 19 provided on the upper edge of the rear entrance 17. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower gap surface 19b of the trap trap 19 provided on the lower edge of the rear entrance 17, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 24, thus improving the capture rate.

Figure 4(b) is an enlarged cross-sectional view illustrating the adhesive sheet 22. Figure 4(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the state of use of the adhesive sheet 22. The cockroach trap 10 in this invention is surface of adhesive layer 24 This method involves processing the material into an uneven, textured surface.
[0053] The adhesive sheet 22 consists of a rectangular base 23 placed on the bottom surface 12 of the trap body 11, an adhesive layer 24 applied to the surface of the base 23, and a release paper 25 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 24. surface of adhesive layer 24 By applying embossing E to the surface, the contact area between the cockroach G's body and the adhesive is increased by creating uneven, linear, patterned, or wave-like shapes, thereby increasing the chances of capture. Dimensionally, it is formed to be slightly smaller to fit within the dimensions of the bottom surface 12 of the trap body 11.
[0054] surface of adhesive layer 24 By embossing the material to create uneven surfaces such as straight lines, patterns, or waves, the contact area between the cockroach's body and the adhesive is increased, thereby improving the chances of capture. Furthermore, embossing E is Adhesive layer 24 There is no particular limitation on whether the entire assembly or the backing board 23 is processed individually.
[0055] The cockroach trap 10, which is composed of the above, surface of adhesive layer 24 The aim is to provide a cockroach trap 10 that can improve the success rate of capture by increasing the contact area between the cockroach's body and the adhesive, through embossing E, which has a raised and recessed surface in the shape of straight lines, patterns, or waves, on the entire surface. [Examples]

[0057] The window 32 for confirming capture is located on the main body of the trap 1 1 Multiple capture confirmation windows 32 are provided in the top surface 14, allowing the presence of captured cockroaches to be visually confirmed through the diameter of the capture confirmation windows 32 without directly viewing the entire cockroach carcass.
[0058] The opening / closing lid 33 is attached to the trap body 1 1 This is a lid provided on the top surface 14 for confirming capture, and its purpose is to allow the captured cockroach G to be fully inspected by opening the opening / closing lid 33. Furthermore, a window 32 for confirming capture and an opening / closing lid 33 can also be provided simultaneously on the top surface of the trap body 11.
[0059] The cockroach trap 10 features a diverse range of colors to match the coordinated colors of the room where it is installed, rather than the conventional color schemes with instruction manuals. Furthermore, if it is made of resin film or synthetic resin material, it is made semi-transparent to allow indirect visibility of the captured cockroach G carcasses. Adhesive layer 24 By using a color scheme that is opposite to the body color of the cockroach G, the capture status of the cockroach G can be indirectly observed through the capture confirmation window 32 and the opening / closing lid 33.
[0060] The cockroach trap 10, which consists of the above components, includes the trap body 1 1The aim is to provide a cockroach trap 10 that eliminates the visual discomfort for women who are reluctant to dispose of used traps, by providing a window hole 32 or an opening / closing lid 33 for confirming capture on the top surface 14.
