Insect live trap

Abstract

To provide an insect live trap which traps an insect alive that enters indoors and wanders around without damaging it, releases a harmless one, and houses a harmful one in a container.SOLUTION: An insect live trap includes a long neck container having a diagonal opening of a long box shape, a transparent part in which an insert can be looked, and a grip part, and a storage case having an anti-slip part on a lower surface, and stores the opening in the storage case from the back. When a user uses this, the user holds the grip part, presses the anti-slip part of the storage case against a wall or the like, exposes the opening to form an insect capturing port, approaches an insect on the floor or the like with one hand and half body, instantly puts the insect capturing hole over the insect from the right above the back surface of the insect while looking at the insect through the transparent part, contacts and stops the lower surface of the storage case, and then can capture the insect inside the insect capturing port. When the trap is slowly slid and pulled, the insect is pushed toward an edge of the opening, introduced into the storage case while resisting, and is stored in the storage case without damage together with the opening.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an insect trap that captures insects that have invaded and wandered around indoors alive and unharmed, and releases harmless ones outside while storing harmful ones in a container. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, the main method of controlling indoor insects is to use insecticides. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] This had the following problems: (i) When using insecticide spray indoors, there is a risk of inhaling chemicals that are harmful to the human body, and the smell of the chemicals is also a concern. (2) It was dangerous to spray the chemicals on wasps or stink bugs because they would sting in a desperate attempt and give off a foul odor. Ha: Knowing the risks, I took great care and even if I was lucky enough to kill a bee or stink bug, I still had to clean up the corpse, covered in death throes excrement and insecticide, from the room. 2) If insects that invade indoors are killed, their remains are considered garbage, and because they are so unclean, they are wrapped up in various consumable items such as tissue, pieces of paper, pieces of cloth or duct tape and thrown out as household garbage, which contributes to the increase in garbage. In recent years, it has been said that the number of children who are afraid of or dislike insects is increasing, and it is feared that this is due to the lack of opportunities for children to come into contact with insects. It is also said that this trend will continue as long as adults continue to use insecticides. Since ancient times, Japan has been a "country of insect lovers" where people play with insects, enjoy the sounds of insects, and keep them in cages. The ancient people hated killing, and wished to solve the problem of insects invading and wandering around inside homes while they were still alive, but this has not been possible to achieve to the present day. And so, the unique challenge of a "country of insect lovers" - living in symbiosis with insects - still remains. Means of solving the problem

[0004] The container is provided with a long-necked container in the shape of a long box, which has an oblique opening, a transparent part for peeking at the insects, and a grip part, and a storage case having a non-slip part on the bottom, and the opening is stored in the storage case from the rear. When you hold the grip and press the non-slip part against a flat surface, the opening will move forward, when it hits the surface it will stop, and when it hits the surface and pulls it, it will move backward. To use this, hold the grip and press the non-slip part of the storage case against a wall or other surface, exposing the opening and forming the insect trapping opening. Approach an insect that has landed on the floor or other surface with one hand and half of your body. While looking at the insect through the transparent part, quickly place the insect trapping opening over the insect's back, and when you stop it against the underside of the storage case, the insect will be caught in the insect trapping opening. If you then slowly pull it, the insect will be pushed against the edge of the opening and will be reluctantly guided into the storage case, where it will be stored unharmed along with the opening. If the trapped insect is harmless, press it against the edge to expose the opening and let it escape; if it is harmful, stand the long-necked container upright and give it a tapping vibration to move the insect from the storage case to the long-necked container and store it there. The insect will eventually live out its life and die a natural death, so it can be returned to the soil. This provides a live trap for insects that wander around indoors, designed so that all of these operations can be performed with just one hand. Effects of the Invention

[0005] Since it can be operated with one hand, you can approach the insect from a distance by extending your arm and using half your body, making it safe for dangerous insects. While looking at the insect, you can quickly place the insect trap directly over the insect, ensuring reliable capture. After capturing the insect, it slowly and gently guides it away so that it can be stored in the storage case unharmed. Since it does not harm insects, it does not give off a foul odor, even in the case of stink bugs. Insects that are harmless to humans can be released outside by opening the insect traps in the storage case, so they do not become garbage. For insects that you don't want to let escape, such as dangerous bugs or cockroaches, you can stand the container upright and shake it, then transfer them to a long-necked container and wait for them to die naturally, then return them to the soil, thus promoting the cycle of life.When not in use, the insect trap is stored in the storage case, so it stays clean. It can trap and store any type of insect that wanders around indoors. Of course, it can be used on floors, walls, ceilings, windows, etc., but it can also be used to catch and store insects that have landed on curtains and clothing, as long as they are on a flat surface. As mentioned above, this invention is a tool that captures insects wandering around indoors without harming them, helping to create a clean and comfortable life. However, it can also be considered a toy for "bug catching," in which you engage with the insects and negotiate with them to lure them into a storage case. Moreover, unlike imaginary games, this "bug catching" is a real game experienced with sight, hearing, smell, and touch, so it's bound to be fun. But that's not all; children can grow and gain a deeper understanding of nature through "bug catching," and even adults exposed to the stresses of city life and human relationships can find peace of mind in interacting with living creatures.

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The device is provided with a long-necked container 5 having a long box-like oblique opening 1, a transparent part 2 for peeking at insects, and a grip part 4, and a storage case 7 having a non-slip part 6 on the bottom surface, and the opening 1 is stored in the storage case 7 from the rear, and when the grip part 4 is held and the non-slip part 6 of the storage case 7 is pressed against a flat surface of an object, the opening 1 moves forward, stops when it hits and stops, and moves backward when it hits and pulls. The angle of the opening 1 in the prototype is set to 45 degrees, assuming an insect resting on a wall and taking into account the range of motion of the wrist. When using it on the floor or ceiling, it is easier if the neck of the long-necked container 5 is long, but this makes it difficult to look through the transparent part 2, so it is better to make the angle of the opening 1 smaller. It is also good to divide the neck of the long-necked container 5 into two parts to make it an insert type, and use it like a head exchange according to the purpose. The non-slip portion 6 uses either a non-slip tape, a non-slip coating, or a non-slip treatment. The transparent portion 2 is made of transparent plastic only when the neck container 5 is opaque. The present invention is configured as described above. When using this product, hold the grip 4 and press the non-slip part 6 of the storage case 7 against a wall or the like, exposing the opening 1 and forming the insect trapping opening 3. The user approaches an insect resting on the floor or the like with one hand and half of the body, looks at the insect through the transparent part 2, and instantly covers the insect with the insect opening 3 from directly above the back of the insect, and stops it by hitting it with the underside of the storage case 7, whereby the insect is caught in the insect opening 3, and by slowly hitting it and pulling it back, the insect is pushed by the edge of the opening 1 and is guided reluctantly into the storage case 7, and is stored in the storage case 7 together with the opening 1 unharmed. If the stored insects are harmless, the opening 1 is exposed by pressing it down and they are released outside, but if they are harmful, the long-necked container 5 is stood up and a tap is applied to move the insects from the storage case 7 to the long-necked container 5, where they are stored, and eventually the insects will live out their lives and die naturally, so they can be returned to the soil.This is a live capture device for insects that wander around indoors, designed so that all of these operations can be performed with just one hand.

Claims

[Claim 1] The long-necked container is provided with a long box-shaped oblique opening, a transparent part for peeking at insects, and a grip, and a storage case having a non-slip part on the bottom, and the opening is stored in the storage case from the rear, and when the grip is held and the non-slip part is pressed against a flat surface of an object, the opening moves forward, stops when it hits and stops, and moves backward when it hits and pulls. To use this device, hold the grip and press the non-slip section of the storage case against a wall or other surface, exposing the opening and forming the insect trap. Approach an insect resting on the floor or other surface with one hand and half of your body. While looking at the insect through the transparent section, quickly place the trap over the insect's backside. Bring it down against the underside of the storage case to stop it, capturing the insect inside the trap. Slowly pull back, and the insect is pushed against the edge of the opening, reluctantly guiding it into the storage case, where it is stored unharmed along with the opening. If the trapped insect is harmless, press it against the edge to expose the opening and let it escape. If it is harmful, stand the long-necked container upright and give it a tapping vibration to transfer the insect from the storage case to the long-necked container and store it there. Eventually, the insect will live out its life and die naturally, so you can return it to the soil. This is a live-trap device for trapping insects that wander around indoors, designed to allow all of these operations to be performed with just one hand.
