[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-182629 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in traps such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1, the wire for holding the legs of the prey is allowed to move freely, resulting in unnecessary movement of the wire when the trap is activated.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a trap system suitable for efficiently utilizing the force generated in the spring portion when the trap is activated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention is a trap system in which the foot of a prey that has stepped on a trigger part provided on a trigger device is held in place by a spring portion compressing a loop portion formed on a wire main body provided on a wire device, wherein one end side of the wire main body passes through the spring portion to form the loop portion, and a fixing device is provided for fixing a part or all of the wire main body from the end opposite the loop portion to the spring portion to the ground and / or a fixed object on the ground.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention is the trap system of the first aspect, wherein one end side of the wire main body forms the loop portion by passing through a wire stopper fixed to the wire main body, a wire side fixing member, and the spring portion, and the fixing device fixes the wire side fixing member to the ground and / or a fixed object on the ground.

[0008] A third aspect of the present invention is the trap system of the second aspect, wherein the wire side fixing member comprises a first wire side fixing part and a second wire side fixing part, the first wire side fixing part has a hole through which the wire main body is passed, the first wire side fixing part and the second wire side fixing part are rotatable around an axis, and the fixing device fixes the second wire side fixing part to the ground and / or a fixed object on the ground. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to each aspect of the present invention, by fixing the wire main body to the ground or the like using a fixing device, the direction in which the spring portion extends can be determined, thereby increasing the speed at which the spring portion moves and the strength with which the loop portion tightens.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples. EXAMPLES

[0012] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a configuration of a trap system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] The trap system 1 is for catching prey (wild animals such as deer and wild boars) and includes a trigger device 3, a wire device 5, and a fixing device 7.

[0014] The trigger device 3 includes a trigger part 9. Known trigger devices 3 include a footboard type shown in Fig. 2(a) and a double pipe type shown in Fig. 2(b).

[0015] The wire device 5 includes a wire portion, a ring member 11, a spring portion 12, and a wire stopper portion 13. The wire portion includes a wire main body portion 14, an untwisting member 15, and a wire fixing portion 16.

[0016] The fixing device 7 fixes a portion of the wire body 14 on the side of the untwisting member 15 relative to the spring portion 12 (a part or all of the wire body 14 from the end opposite the loop portion 19 to the spring portion 12) to the ground and / or a fixed object on the ground (a ground fixed object such as a tree) around the trap system 1. For example, it is a U-shaped member, and both ends are inserted into the ground or the like so as to cover the wire body 14 from above and fix it there.

[0017] The ring member 11 is a ring-shaped member having a hole formed therein through which the wire body 14 passes. One end of the wire body 14 passes through the hole of the ring member 11 and is fixed to the ring member 11.

[0018] The spring portion 12 is a spring that expands and contracts along the wire body 14, contracting when force is applied from both ends and returning to its original length when the force is released. For example, it may be a coil spring, with the wire body 14 threaded through it so that the coil spring is wound around the wire body 14. A cylindrical case capable of housing the spring in its contracted state is attached to the spring.

[0019] The wire stopper 13 is fixed at a predetermined position on the wire body 14. The spring portion 12 expands and contracts on the side of the wire body 14 opposite to the wire stopper 13.

[0020] The untwisting member 15 is a component for untwisting. In this example, it is for untwisting between the wire body 14 and the wire fixing portion 16. The untwisting member 15 includes a first untwisting part 17 and a second untwisting part 18. One end of the wire body 14 is fixed to the first untwisting part 17. For example, a hole is formed in the first untwisting part 17, and the wire body 14 can be fixed by passing one end of the wire body 14 through the hole and tying it. One end of the wire fixing portion 16 is fixed to the second untwisting part 18. For example, a hole is formed in the second untwisting part 18, and the wire fixing portion 16 can be fixed by passing one end of the wire fixing portion 16 through the hole and tying it. The first untwisting part 17 and the second untwisting part 18 can rotate around an axis and can untwist between the wire body 14 and the wire fixing portion 16.

[0021] The wire fixing portion 16 is tied to a tree or the like to prevent the prey caught by the wire main body 14 from escaping.

[0022] One end of the wire body 14 is attached to the untwisting member 15. The other end passes through the wire stopper 13, the spring portion 12 and the ring member 11, and is fixed to the ring member 11 to form a loop portion 19.

[0023] The spring portion 12 is present between the ring member 11 and the wire stop portion 13. The spring portion 12 expands and contracts on the side of the loop portion 19 in the wire body portion 14. When the spring portion 12 contracts, the loop portion 19 expands greatly. When the spring portion 12 expands, the loop portion 19 becomes smaller.

[0024] When setting a trap, the worker places the trigger device 3 on the animal trail (the path the prey takes). The worker contracts the spring portion 12 and expands the loop portion 19 so that the loop portion 19 is hung around the trigger part 9. The spring portion 12 is placed parallel to the ground surface.

[0025] When the prey steps on the trigger part 9 to activate the trap, the loop part 19 comes off the trigger part 9. The foot of the prey that stepped on the trigger part 9 is inside the loop part 19. The spring part 12 stretches and the loop part 19 becomes smaller, so that the prey can be held in the loop part 19.

[0026] There are three important points in designing the trap. The first is that it is not necessary to dig up the ground and bury the trigger part 9 and the spring part 12. This is because it is possible to avoid odor problems (the smell of new soil) and physical problems (wood and stones). The second is to shorten the length of the spring part 12, making camouflage unnecessary. The third is to simplify the mechanism and make it easy to use.

[0027] In the absence of the fixing device 7, both ends of the spring part 12 can move freely. Therefore, when the trap is activated, the spring part 12 expands and moves in the opposite direction so that both ends spread apart. It was necessary to make the spring part 12 longer in order to increase the force with which it holds the prey.

[0028] By fixing the portion of the wire body 14 that is closer to the untwisting member 15 than the spring 12 with the fixing device 7, the spring 12 does not move toward the untwisting member 15, but extends only toward the loop 19, thereby holding the prey. Furthermore, as the loop 19 is flipped up by the trigger part 9, the spring 12 extends obliquely upwards, generating force. This makes it possible to hold the prey's legs in a high position.

[0029] Therefore, by using the fixing device 7, the loop portion 19 can be made to jump upward, and further, by determining the direction in which the spring portion 12 extends, it is possible to increase the speed at which the spring portion 12 moves and the strength with which the loop portion 19 tightens. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the length of the spring portion 12, thereby making disguise unnecessary.

[0030] 2A and 2B are diagrams for explaining examples of the trigger device 3. Fig. 2(a) shows a stepping board type, and Fig. 2(b) shows a double pipe type.

[0031] 2(a), the trigger part includes a footboard 23, an arm 25, and a safety bar 27. The wire includes a wire main body and a wire fixing part 34 connected by an untwisting member 33. The spring part 31 includes a coil spring and a PVC pipe surrounding the coil spring.

[0032] A loop portion 29 is formed in the wire main body by passing through a spring portion 31. The spring portion 31 expands and contracts on the side of the loop portion 29 due to a wire stopper portion 32.

[0033] When setting up the trap, the worker places the trigger part on the outer pipe 21 with the arm 25 open and the safety bar 27 hanging over it. In this state, the arm 25 has a U shape when viewed from the side. A member for hanging the loop portion 29 of the wire body on top is provided around the arm 25, and a groove is formed. The worker hangs the loop portion 29 of the wire around the arm 25 in an unfolded state. The coil spring of the spring portion 31 is in a contracted state. The worker removes the safety bar 27.

[0034] When the prey steps on the black part of the footboard 23, the arm 25 hits the outer pipe 21 and the arm 25 changes shape upward (to an inverted V shape), activating the trap. The loop portion 29 springs up, the spring portion 31 stretches, and the loop portion 29 tightens. The loop portion 29 can hold the prey's foot.

[0035] The fixing device fixes the wire body between the spring portion 31 and the untwisting member 33 (eg, at position 35 ).

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2(b), even in the case of the double pipe type, the fixing device fixes the wire body (for example, position 38) between the spring portion 36 and the untwisting member 37.

[0037] Figure 3 shows the position of the loop when the trap is triggered without the use of a fixation device, with the loop restrained at the second position from the bottom of the tape on the pole.

[0038] Figure 4 shows the position where the loop part is held when the trap is activated using the fixing device. It is held at about the third position from the bottom of the tape attached to the bar. Therefore, by using the fixing device 39, the direction in which the spring part stretches can be determined, and the speed of the spring part's movement and the strength with which the loop part tightens can be increased. EXAMPLES

[0039] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a trap system 41 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] The trap system 41 includes a trigger device 43 , a wire device 45 and a fixing device 47 .

[0041] The trigger device 43 includes a trigger part 49 .

[0042] The wire device 45 includes a wire portion, a ring member 51, a spring portion 53, a wire side fixing member 55, and a wire stopper portion 57. The wire portion includes a wire main body portion 63, an untwisting member 65, and a wire fixing portion 67.

[0043] The fixing device 47 is for fixing the wire-side fixing member 55 to the ground and / or fixed objects on the ground around the trap system 41. For example, as shown in Fig. 7(b), it is a stick-shaped bamboo skewer or the like, which is passed through a hole in the wire-side fixing member 55 and stuck into the surrounding ground and / or fixed objects on the ground to fix it.

[0044] The ring member 51 is a ring-shaped member, and is formed with a hole through which the wire body 63 passes. One end of the wire body 63 passes through the hole of the ring member 51 and is fixed to the ring member 51.

[0045] The spring portion 53 is a spring that expands and contracts along the wire body 63, contracting when force is applied from both ends and returning to its original length when the force is removed.

[0046] The wire-side fixing member 55 has a similar configuration to the untwisting member. The wire-side fixing member 55 includes a first wire-side fixing part 59 and a second wire-side fixing part 61. A hole is formed in the first wire-side fixing part 59, and the wire main body 63 can be passed through this hole. The fixing device 47 fixes the second wire-side fixing part 61 to the surrounding ground and / or a fixed object on the ground. For example, a hole is formed in the second wire-side fixing part 61, and the fixing device 47 can be passed through the hole and inserted into the surrounding ground and / or a fixed object on the ground to be fixed. The first wire-side fixing part 59 and the second wire-side fixing part 61 can rotate around an axis.

[0047] The wire stopper 57 is fixed at a predetermined position on the wire body 63. The spring portion 53 expands and contracts on the side of the wire body 63 opposite to the wire stopper 57 (toward the loop portion).

[0048] The untwisting member 65 is a component for untwisting the wire. In this example, it is for untwisting the wire between the wire main body 63 and the wire fixing portion 67. It has the same configuration as the untwisting member 15 in FIG.

[0049] The wire fixing portion 67 is tied to a tree or the like to prevent the prey caught by the wire main body 63 from escaping.

[0050] One end of the wire main body 63 is attached to the untwisting member 65. The other end passes through the wire stopper 57, the first wire side fixed part 59, the spring part 53 and the ring member 51, and is fixed to the ring member 51 to form a loop part 69.

[0051] The spring portion 53 is present between the ring member 51 and the wire stopper portion 57. The spring portion 53 expands and contracts on the side of the loop portion 69 in the wire main body 63. When the spring portion 53 contracts, the loop portion 69 expands greatly. When the spring portion 53 expands, the loop portion 69 becomes smaller.

[0052] When setting a trap, the worker places the trigger device 43 on the animal trail. The worker contracts the spring portion 53 and expands the loop portion 69 so that the loop portion 69 is hung around the trigger part 49. The spring portion 53 is placed on the ground. The worker passes the fixing device 47 through the hole in the second wire-side fixing part 61 and sticks it into the ground, etc., thereby fixing it to the surrounding ground and / or fixed objects on the ground.

[0053] When the prey steps on the trigger part 49 and the trap is activated, the loop part 69 comes off the trigger part 49. The foot of the prey that stepped on the trigger part 49 is inside the loop part 69. The spring part 53 expands and the loop part 69 becomes smaller, so that the prey can be held in the loop part 69.

[0054] Since the spring portion 53 is fixed by the fixing device 47, it extends only toward the loop portion 69 side to hold the prey. Furthermore, since the loop portion 69 is flipped up by the trigger part 49, the spring portion 53 extends obliquely upward to generate force. Therefore, it becomes possible to hold the legs of the prey in a high position.

[0055] Therefore, by utilizing the fixing device 47, the loop portion 69 can be made to jump upward, and further, the spring portion 53 can be prevented from moving in the opposite direction to the loop portion 69, and the direction of extension can be determined, thereby increasing the speed at which the spring portion 53 moves and the strength with which the loop portion 69 tightens.

[0056] 6 and 7 show a prototype of the trap system 41 of FIG.

[0057] FIG. 6 is a photograph of the entire wire device 45.

[0058] FIG. 7(a) is an enlarged photograph of the wire-side fixing member 75. FIG. 7(b) shows the fixing device. The wire main body passes through a hole in the wire-side fixing member 75 between the spring portion 71 and the wire stop portion 73. The wire-side fixing member 75 has a hole 77 different from the hole through which the wire main body passes, and the fixing device can be inserted into the hole 77 to be fixed. The wire-side fixing member 75 has a structure similar to that of the untwisting member. The hole 77 can rotate around an axis, so it can be rotated separately from the hole through which the wire main body passes.

[0059] In the present invention, the wire-side fixing member may have a different configuration from the untwisting member. Also, the spring portion may be, for example, a torsion spring, instead of the compression spring (coil spring) described above. [Explanation of symbols]
