Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a trapping device for capturing animals such as wild boars. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, bears and wild boars have appeared in areas where people live, affecting their lives. For example, wild boars have broken through windows to enter homes and cause damage to them, but damage to crops caused by wild boars remains a major problem, and damage to crops, such as fields being destroyed by wild boars, has been increasing rapidly in recent years.

[0003] Each region and local government is considering ways to mitigate and manage the damage caused by wild boars, and is implementing measures such as extermination and enclosure. Farmers and local communities are cooperating to tackle wild boars and are beginning to work together to solve the problem.

[0004] In order to prevent damage caused by wild animals, measures have been taken such as installing electric fences, protective nets, pepper bombs, audio repellent devices, repellent sprays and alarm systems, but all of these require large-scale facilities and equipment to maintain a certain amount of space, which imposes a large cost burden on the installers when introducing the equipment.In contrast to this, traps that target a single animal (head) have long been known, and have a strong following among users because they not only capture harmful animals but also produce meat that can be used as food.

[0005] Conventionally, traps for capturing animals that target a single animal (head) have been proposed, as shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The invention of Patent Document 1 includes a U-shaped arm body that can be opened and closed and is always biased to the open state, a capture rope attached to each tip of the arm body, a punching cylinder around which the capture rope is wound, and a cylinder receiver for storing the punching cylinder, and a fixing rope for restraining the arm body within a certain range. By this, it is intended to surely capture the legs of an animal that has fallen into a trap and absorb the impact.

[0008] The invention of Patent Document 2 is a U-shaped arm composed of a base arm embedded in the ground that can be opened and closed and is always biased to the open state, and two arms of an operating arm that operates in the opening direction. By having a capture rope and a movable fixing part, the structure is simple and low-cost while significantly improving the capture rate.

[0009] Although both of the above inventions can form a trap with a simple structure and low cost, there are problems that the structure is in one unit and cannot be continuously installed, and there is almost no body weight, making it difficult to capture large animals such as bears and wild boars.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and one of its purposes is to provide a capture trap device that has a simple structure and can significantly improve the capture rate and installation efficiency.
