Its composition includes an operating rod A, an operating rod B, a grabbing component A, a grabbing component B, etc. Arc-shaped handles A and B are respectively arranged at the ends of the operating rod A and the operating rod B. The other ends are provided with rotating rings at the joints with the grabbing component B and the grabbing component A, so that they are connected into one body. A cap-shaped rotating shaft is arranged on the rotating ring. A rotating bearing and a buffer support piece are also arranged on the operating rod A away from the end. Arc-shaped grabbing heads A and B are respectively arranged at the tops of the grabbing component A and the grabbing component B. When in use, the arc-shaped grabbing heads A and B are used to clamp the chest and abdomen vertically downward along both sides of the back of the mouse.

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a mouse catching device, which includes two operating rods 1 rotatably connected in the middle to form a cross shape. Gripping components 2 are arranged at the lower ends of both operating rods 1. The frame of the gripping component 2 has a semi-cylindrical structure. The two gripping components 2 are docked to form a clamping fit. Elastic bands 3 are installed at the front and rear ends of both gripping components 2. The elastic bands 3 at the same end of the two gripping components 2 clamp the neck of the mouse.

[0036] Specifically as Figure 2As shown, the grasping member 2 includes two semi-circular frames 201 arranged in parallel. An upper crossbar 202 is connected between the upper ends of the two semi-circular frames 201, and a lower crossbar 203 is connected between the lower ends of the two semi-circular frames 201. The semi-circular frames 201, the upper crossbar 202, and the lower crossbar 203 together form a semi-cylindrical grasping member 2. The specific size of the grasping member 2 is adapted to half of the average body size of laboratory mice, and a grasping bag 4 is laid on the grasping member 2. A grasping bag 4 is connected between the elastic band 3 and the grasping member 2. Through the grasping bag 4, most of the body of the mouse can be held in cooperation with the grasping member 2, and the mouse can be prevented from being injured when struggling.

[0037] As Figure 5 shown, the grasping bag 4 includes an outer elastic mesh layer 401, an inner tough cortex layer 402, and a middle soft cushion block 403. Among them, the soft cushion block 403 is filled with a filling layer such as a sponge cushion block, and the elastic mesh layer 401 and the soft cushion block 403 can be made of a reticular material with a certain toughness.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, telescopic handles 5 are vertically inserted at the tops of the two operating rods 1. Specifically, a vertical screw rod 6 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the handle 5. The screw rod 6 is threadedly inserted into the top of the operating rod 1, and the top end of the screw rod 6 extends out of the handle 5 and is fixed with a screwing cap 7. The surface of the screwing cap 7 is provided with anti-slip lines, which facilitates the user to rotate the screw rod 6 through the screwing cap 7 to adjust the height of the handle 5 at the top of the operating rod 1.

[0039] And a return spring 8 is connected between the two handles 5, in cooperation with Figure 4 shown, fixing columns 9 are fixed in the middle of the sides of the two handles 5 facing each other. The two ends of the return spring 8 are respectively fixed on the fixing columns 9 on the two handles 5. In this embodiment, the return spring 8 keeps the two handles 5 in a combined state, and the combined handles 5 keep the two grasping members 2 in a clamped and butted state.

[0040] The working principle of the technical solution provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0041] For this mouse capture device, through the cooperation of the grasping member 2, the elastic band 3, and the grasping bag 4, the mouse can be held, and the elastic band 3 is used to clamp the neck of the mouse, so as to capture the mouse and prevent the mouse from struggling and being injured, which affects the experimental results.

[0042] In addition, before grasping, the user can also rotate the screw rod 6 through the screwing cap 7 according to the depth of the mouse cage to adjust the height of the handle 5 at the top of the operating rod 1, so that the overall length of the operating rod 1 can be adjusted according to the user's needs, and it is adapted to mouse breeding cages with various depths, which is convenient for grasping the mouse.

[0043] In summary, the present device can not only avoid injuring the mice when grasping them, but also facilitate the adjustment of the grasping depth, which is beneficial to adapting to mouse breeding cages with various depths, and the overall use effect is good.
