Abstract

To provide a device that performs capturing, releasing, and exterminating of pests in a series of operations.SOLUTION: A pest capture, release, and extermination device comprises: a capture box 1 which has an iron portion on a top surface in the rectangular parallelepiped shape with one direction of a side surface opened; and a magic hand section 3. One side surface part of the capture box is provided with a gas injection section 18, and a side surface of the magic hand section is provided with a gas cylinder 35 having a gas injection lever 351, a gas tube 352, and a gas insertion needle section 353. After capturing a pest in the capture box, the gas insertion needle section is inserted to the gas injection section, and gas is injected to the capture box by pulling or pushing the gas injection lever, thereby exterminating the pest. This configuration enables capturing, releasing, and exterminating of the pests in a series of operations even in cases where release is desired after capturing for extermination, or extermination is desired after capturing with a capture-and-release tool. Furthermore, by using gas not including insecticidal components, the device can be used even in cases where infants and pets are present.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The invention of Patent Document 1 is for capturing and controlling pests, and the invention of Patent Document 2 is for capturing and releasing. However, when it is desired to release after capture when planning to control, or when it is desired to control after capturing with a device for capturing and releasing, there is no device that performs a series of operations of capturing, releasing, and controlling pests, and problems have occurred that are difficult to handle.

[0005] In addition, since the invention of Patent Document 1 and many other inventions are for the purpose of capturing and controlling pests, it is necessary to use a drug containing an insecticidal component, and when living with infants or pets, extreme caution must be exercised.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped shape with one direction on the side being open, having a capture box with an iron part on the top surface, a capture storage drawer part that can be accommodated in the open part of the capture box and can be pulled out from the open part of the capture box, provided with a transparent member on the top surface part, and the bottom surface part being open, a rod shape, having a grip part at one end, a first arm part, a second arm part on the other end side, and a magnet part between the first arm part and the second arm part, and characterized by comprising a magic hand part that closes the first arm part and the second arm part and grips an object when the grip is held.

[0007] Furthermore, the invention according to claim 2 is provided with a gas injection part on one side surface part of the capture box, and a gas cylinder having a gas injection lever, a gas tube, and a gas insertion needle part on the side surface of the magic hand part. After capturing pests in the capture box, the gas insertion needle part is inserted into the gas injection part, and by pulling or pushing in the gas injection lever, gas is injected into the capture box to exterminate pests.

Advantages of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, even when it is desired to release after capture for the purpose of extermination, or when it is desired to perform extermination after capturing with a capturing and releasing instrument, it is possible to perform a series of operations of capturing, releasing, and exterminating pests, and by using a gas that does not contain insecticidal components, it is possible to use it even when living with infants or pets.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the capture storage drawer part 2 is stored in the capture box release part 17 of the capture box 1 and has a structure that can be pulled out.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 4, the capture box 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped composed of a total of five faces: the top face 12 of the capture box, the left side face 13 of the capture box, the bottom face 14 of the capture box, and the right side face 15 of the capture box. The capture box release part 17 is open, and the capture storage drawer part 2 can be stored therein.

[0014] The iron part 11 is provided on the top face 12 of the capture box. The material of the iron part 11 is not limited, but since it is provided for adsorption to the magnet part 36 of the magic hand part 3 described later, a metal that can be adsorbed by an inexpensive magnet such as iron is preferable, and a clip or the like may also be used. Note that the iron part 11 may be a magnet and the magnet part 36 may be iron.

[0015] The material of the capture box 1 is not particularly limited as long as its shape can be maintained, but paper is preferable as a lightweight and easily disposable material, and cardboard that is less likely to deform is more preferable.

[0016] The length of one side of the capture box 1 is not limited, but in view of capturing the pest G and the size that the arm part 34 of the magic hand part 3 can grip, it is preferably 200 mm or less on one side.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, FIGS. 5 and 6, the capture storage drawer part 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped composed of a total of five faces: the top face 22 of the capture storage drawer part, the left side face 23 of the capture storage drawer part, the left side face 25 of the capture storage drawer part, the back face 26 of the capture storage drawer part, and the front face 27 of the capture storage drawer part. The bottom face release part 24 of the capture storage drawer part is open so that the capture storage drawer part 2 can be placed over the pest G for capture.

[0018] The front face 27 of the capture storage drawer part is provided with a capture storage drawer handle 28 for pulling out the capture storage drawer part 2. The shape of the capture storage drawer handle 28 is not particularly limited as long as the capture storage drawer part 2 can be pulled out.

[0019] The top surface 22 of the capture storage drawer part is provided with a transparent member 21 so that when covering the capture storage drawer part 2 over the pest G, the pest G can be visually recognized. The material of the transparent member 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent, but a food wrap film is preferred as a lightweight and easily disposable material. Also, the transparent member 21 only needs to be of a size that allows the pest G to be visually recognized, and the vertical and horizontal sizes are not limited.

[0020] The material of the capture storage drawer part 2 is preferably the same as that of the capture box 1. It is not particularly limited as long as its shape can be maintained, but paper is preferred as a lightweight and easily disposable material, and more preferably cardboard that is difficult to deform.

[0021] The length of one side of the capture storage drawer part 2 is not limited, but it is preferably able to be stored in the capture box 1 without a gap, and a size obtained by subtracting the thickness of the capture box 1 from the length of one side of the capture box 1 is preferred.

[0022] Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the magic hand part 3 used when capturing, exterminating, and releasing the pest G will be described. FIG. 7 is a front view of the magic hand part 3 of the device E according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a rear view of the magic hand part 3 of the device E according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] The gas cylinder 35 is filled with gas. By tilting the gas injection lever 351, the gas is sent out through the gas tube 352 and the gas insertion needle part. The filled gas may be a gas containing an insecticidal component, but in view of the case of living with infants and pets, although it can kill insects when the concentration is high, it is preferably carbon dioxide that is harmless to the human body.

[0027] A magnet part 36 is provided between the first upper arm 341 and the second upper arm 343 of the arm part, or between the first arm part 34A and the second arm part 34B. The material of the magnet part 36 does not matter, but since it is provided to adsorb the iron part 11 of the capture box 1, it is preferably a magnet having a magnetic force. Incidentally, the iron part 11 may be used as a magnet and the magnet part 36 may be used as iron.
