Animal capture machine

Abstract

This item is an animal trapping device for capturing wild animals such as boars and deer, in other words, an aisle-type box trap, with sliding drop doors on the front and back. When an animal enters and steps on the steps, both doors will fall, capturing the animal. In front of the entrance opening of the steps, there is an obstacle positioned to prevent the animal from walking and to allow the animal to jump over it to proceed. This obstacle is positioned so that the edge of the step is in the blind spot of the animal that has entered the aisle-type box trap (Reference Figure 1). An animal that has entered this aisle-type box trap will first notice the presence of the obstacle, and will move forward, jumping over it out of caution (Reference Figure 2). As a result, the animal will step on the step provided ahead, and the sliding drop doors at both openings will close, capturing the animal.
