Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin molded article having flying pest repellency that keeps flying pests such as mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, bees, and flies away from humans, and more specifically to a flying pest repellent resin molded article that has the external characteristics of insects that prey on mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, bees, and flies, as well as complex, non-periodic flight movements. [Background technology]

[0002] Today, with people becoming health-conscious and seeking opportunities to connect with nature, opportunities for outdoor activities such as camping and walking are increasing, and damage caused by flying pests such as mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, bees, and flies (hereinafter referred to as "flying pests") is on the rise, including insect bites, blood-sucking, and invasion of the ear canal. Previously, there were insect repellent sprays that sprayed insecticides directly onto exposed areas of the skin when going outside, but these were not easily used by everyone, from children to adults, due to concerns about allergies to the chemicals and the chemicals remaining on the skin. In response to this, a rubber molded article that retains the flying pest repellent component and that can be easily worn has been developed (Patent Document 1). However, the medicinal smell of the insect repellent component made it difficult to use outdoors, where people are often in close contact with nature.

[0003] On the other hand, there are techniques for controlling flying pests that focus on the predator-prey relationship in the insect food chain, and these are widely used, particularly in the fields of plant cultivation and horticulture. Focusing on this predator-prey relationship, techniques for repellent of flying pests have been disclosed that utilize insects that are natural enemies of flying insects. For example, there is a flying pest repellent that uses a picture of a giant dragonfly that preys on flying pests (Patent Document 2). Dragonflies, such as dragonflies, catch flying pests in the air while flying. Hanging pictures of dragonflies has been proposed as a way to improve the effectiveness of insect repellents. However, simply hanging pictures of dragonflies does not mimic the complex, non-periodic flight movements of actual dragonflies, so the effectiveness of the repellent is limited.

[0004] Insects have a unique compound eye structure in addition to a simple eye that senses the intensity of light, and these compound eyes are known to be able to sensitively detect the movement of living organisms (moving objects). In fact, a technology has been disclosed that uses a compound eye imaging device that utilizes the structure of insect eyes to acquire spatial information on the subject side (Patent Document 3), and a technology that uses a compound eye lens to detect the movement status of living organisms (moving objects) (Patent Document 4). Both predator and prey insects are able to obtain spatial information and movement patterns using compound eyes, and prey insects are sensitive to the complex, non-periodic flight movements of dragonflies in addition to the characteristic morphology of predator insects. Like the predatory insect dragonfly, reproducing the "complex, non-periodic flight movements" of a dragonfly with its characteristic morphology would be an effective technique for repelling flying pests. However, no simple method had been developed to achieve this.

[0005] Instead of reproducing this complex, non-periodic flight movement, a mosquito control device has been reported that uses a pre-recorded dragonfly wing sound player to repel mosquitoes (Patent Document 5). Conventional flying pest repellent technologies, such as insect repellent sprays and volatile ingredient-based insect repellents, have the problem of using chemicals, which pose a risk of chemical damage. In addition, instead of hanging dragonflies that prey on flying pests, the only method available is to use electronic devices such as wing-sound playback devices that reproduce the complex, non-periodic flight movements of actual dragonflies, which makes them difficult for everyone, from children to adults, to use easily.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5832649 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3239252 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 6257285 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 5761557 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-255352 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the problems with the insect repellent devices and insect repellent methods of the above-mentioned prior art, and aims to solve these problems and make them easier to use. It aims to provide a resin molded body that has a shape characteristic of natural enemies that prey on flying pests and is capable of double pendulum motion, and that has effective flying pest repellency by simply attaching it to an object in one's surroundings, so that the resin molded body with a shape characteristic of natural enemies reproduces the complex, non-periodic flight movements of flying insects by the movement of a person. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the problems with the insect repellent devices and insect repellent methods of the above-mentioned prior art, we focused on the giant dragonfly, one of the three species of dragonfly that are natural enemies of flying pests, such as the Japanese dragonfly, the Siberian dragonfly, and the bush dragonfly, and formed a resin molded body by optimizing the color tone of the eyes on the head, which are warning colors, and the color tone of the yellow band on the abdomen, so that the distinctive external features of the predatory insects are emphasized and the appearance will be an effective ``notice'' for the flying pests that are preyed upon. Furthermore, the resin molded body is equipped with a strap connecting member as a component that enables double pendulum motion so that it can perform complex, non-periodic flight movements like a flying dragonfly.In addition to this complex, non-periodic flight movement, the wings are able to reflect light in a complex manner, resulting in the development of a resin molded body that has flying pest repellent properties.

[0009] The flying pest repellent resin molded body of the present invention is A flying pest repellent resin molded body simulating a giant dragonfly, The flying pest repellent resin molded body has a double pendulum structure consisting of a resin molded body including a head, a thorax, and an abdomen, and a strap connecting member; The head has two spherical eyes with a metallic luster and a head ring hook between the two eyes, The thorax has an inclined base, wings, and a thoracic ring hook on the upper surface, The chest and belly are black with yellow stripes, The wings have a transparent and smooth surface and each consist of a pair of forewings and hindwings. The wings are fixed to the inclined base by a thoracic ring hook, One end of the strap connecting member is rotatably connected to the head ring hook or the chest ring hook, and the other end is rotatably connected to clothing, miscellaneous goods, personal belongings, and articles, the strap connecting member has a rotatable first mass point connecting joint that serves as a first mass point between the one end and the other end, the first mass point and the second mass point of the strap connecting member, which are the resin molded body, are capable of double pendulum motion; the wings reflect light by the transparent, smooth surface; The double pendulum motion allows for complex, non-periodic flight movements.

[0010] The eyeballs of the flying pest repellent resin molded product of the present invention have a blue-green metallic luster due to the application of pearl resin or metallic pearl paint, The blue-green color is characterized by an L* value of 50 to 60, an a* value of -40 to -30, and a b* value of -7 to 3 in the L*a*b* color system color index (standard light source D65, viewing angle 10 degrees).

[0011] The wings of the flying pest repellent resin molding of the present invention are each a pair of two forewings and hind wings that are attached on the same plane at an angle of 5 to 20 degrees from the horizontal, or the forewings and hind wings are staggered, with the forewings angled 15 to 30 degrees downward and the hind wings angled 15 to 30 degrees upward from the horizontal, or the forewings angled 15 to 30 degrees upward and the hind wings angled 15 to 30 degrees downward.

[0012] The abdomen of the flying pest repellent resin molded product of the present invention is cylindrical, with one end joined to the thorax and the other end of the cylinder being spindle-shaped; The belly is black with at least six yellow bands. The yellow band has an L* value of 97 to 100, an a* value of -15 to -22, and a b* value of 72 to 94 in the L*a*b* color system color index (standard light source D65, viewing angle 10 degrees).

[0013] The strap connecting member of the flying pest repellent resin molded body of the present invention is configured such that the first connecting joint, the first strap portion, the first mass point connecting joint, the second strap portion, and the second connecting joint are connected in this order so as to be independently rotatable, a first connecting joint at one end of the strap connecting member rotatably connected to the head ring hook or the chest ring hook of the resin molded body; The second connecting joint, which is the other end of the strap connecting member, is characterized in that it can be rotatably connected directly or indirectly to clothing, miscellaneous goods, portable items, and articles. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] As a predatory insect, the shape and color tones emphasize its characteristic parts, and the complex, non-periodic flight movements made possible by the highly flexible attachments allow the flying pests that it preys upon to become aware of the warning colors and characteristic flight movements, thereby providing an insect repellent effect that relies on natural enemies rather than on insect repellents that use volatilized chemical substances or electronic devices.

[0015] Because it is harmless to the human body, it can be used anywhere, even on areas that come into contact with the skin, is gentle on the environment and the human body, has a long-lasting effect, and simply by attaching it to something the user owns or wears, it repels insects by performing complex, non-periodic flying movements in accordance with the user's movements, an effect not found in conventional insect repellents.

[0017] Preferred embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiment described here is an example of a typical embodiment of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is not to be construed narrowly.

[0018] One embodiment of the flying pest repellent resin molded body of the present invention is a resin molded body 1 that resembles a giant dragonfly. As shown in FIG. 1, the resin molded product 1 comprises a head 10, a thorax 20, an abdomen 30, and wings 40. The head 10 has two eyeballs 11 corresponding to compound eyes, with a head circular ring hook 12 between the eyeballs 11. A downward-facing inclined base 21 is connected to the top of the thorax 20 from the head to the abdomen. Wings 40, each consisting of a pair of forewings 41 and hindwings 42, are attached to the top surface of the inclined base 21, and the wings 40 are fixed to the top surface of the inclined base 21 by a thoracic circular ring hook 22. The thoracic circular ring hook 22 can also be used to fix the wings 40 via a washer. The wings 40 can also be fixed to the inclined base 21 by adhesive. The mass of the head circular ring hook 12 can be adjusted so that the chest circular ring hook 22 is at the center of gravity. In the resin molded body 1, the head 10, chest 20, abdomen 30, and inclined base portion 21 can be molded integrally.

[0019] As another embodiment, an abdominal circular ring hook 32 may be further provided at the end of the abdomen 30 on the side not joined to the chest 20. The mass of the abdominal circular ring hook 32 or the mass of the head circular ring hook 12 can be adjusted so that the chest circular ring hook 22 is the center of gravity.

[0020] The size of the resin molded body 1 may be, for example, about the same as that of a giant dragonfly, and the body length consisting of the head 10, thorax 20, and abdomen 30 may be 80 to 120 mm. Also, red dragonflies can have a body length of 50 to 100 mm. The length of each wing 40 can be 50 to 70 mm. The mass of the resin molded body 1 is, for example, 5 to 20 g, and preferably 5 to 10 g.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 2, the strap connecting member 100 is configured such that a first connecting joint 110, a first strap portion 113, a first mass point connecting joint 120, a second strap portion 123, and a second connecting joint 130 are connected in this order so that they can rotate independently. The first connecting joint 110, which is one end of the strap connecting member 100, is rotatably connected to the head circular ring hook 12 or the chest circular ring hook 22 of the resin molded body 1, The second connecting joint 130 at the other end of the strap connecting member 100 can be rotatably connected to clothing, miscellaneous goods, personal belongings, or articles 300 directly or indirectly.

[0022] The connection structure of the strap connecting member 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. One end of the first connecting joint 110 is rotatably connected to a chest circular ring hook 22 fixed to an inclined base portion 21 on the upper surface of the chest 20 . The other end of the first connecting joint 110 is rotatably connected to one end of a first strap 113 .

[0023] The other end of the first strap 113 is pivotally connected to one end of the first mass point connecting joint 120 . The other end of the first mass point connecting joint 120 is rotatably connected to one end of a second strap 123 .

[0024] The other end of the second strap 123 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting joint 130 . The other end of the second connecting joint 130 is rotatably attached to the clothing, miscellaneous goods, personal belongings or article 300 of the user who uses the flying pest repellent resin molded product.

[0025] Among the user's clothing, miscellaneous items, personal belongings and articles 300 to which the second connecting joint 130 can be rotatably attached, the clothing, miscellaneous items and personal belongings include clothing such as jackets and trousers, miscellaneous items such as hats and pandanas worn, and personal belongings such as backpacks, bags and belts. Furthermore, examples of articles include verandas, windows and other buildings, outdoor tents and trees, and the flying pest repellent resin molding is attached to these articles in order to prevent flying pests from entering rooms and the like.

[0026] The first mass connection joint 120 can function as the first mass 400 of the double pendulum shown in FIG. 3 by using its own weight or by further attaching a weight 124 (not shown in FIG. 2), such as a ring-shaped weight. Furthermore, the resin molded body 1, which is further rotatably connected to the first strap portion 113, which is rotatably connected to the first mass point connecting joint 120, can function as the second mass point 500 of the double pendulum shown in Figure 3.

[0027] The head 10, chest 20, abdomen 30, and tilted base 21 can be molded from a conventional thermoplastic or thermosetting resin. The thermoplastic resin is not particularly limited, and known thermoplastic resins can be used. Specific examples of thermoplastic resins include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin (ABS resin), polystyrene, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polyacrylonitrile, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyethersulfone, polyetherketone, polyimide, polydimethylsiloxane, polycarbonate, and copolymers containing at least two of these. These thermoplastic resins may be used alone or in combination. The thermoplastic resin may also be a resin with a high elastic modulus. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin (ABS resin) and polyamide (nylon-based resin) are more preferred because they are easily moldable under heat.

[0028] The thermosetting resin may be any resin used in molding materials, and specific examples include phenolic resins, epoxy resins, urea resins, triazine ring-containing resins such as melamine resins, bismaleimide resins, unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethane resins, diallyl phthalate resins, silicone resins, cyanate ester resins, polyimide resins, polyamide-imide resins, benzocyclobutene resins, benzoxazine ring-containing resins, polyvinyl butyral resins, and polyvinyl acetate resins. More specifically, the thermosetting resin may include one or more resins selected from epoxy resins and phenolic resins, preferably phenolic resins, and more preferably phenolic resins, or epoxy resins and phenolic resins. The resin composition is preferably a phenolic resin composition. The resin molded article 1 according to the present invention can be molded, for example, by filling a mold with a molten resin or resin composition. Furthermore, the head 10, chest 20, abdomen 30, and inclined base portion 21 can be integrally molded.

[0029] The resin used for the resin molded body 1 may be a colored resin obtained by mixing a coloring material such as a dye, pigment, or coloring agent into the resin. For example, a black resin can be used for a giant dragonfly, and a red resin can be used for a red dragonfly.

[0030] Below, one form of the resin molding 1 of the flying pest repellent resin molding of the present invention will be specifically described, and its shape and dimensions may be any as long as they imitate a giant dragonfly or a red dragonfly. In the case of a giant dragonfly, it may be any as long as it has the metallic, blue-green eyeballs 11, light-reflecting wings 40, and warning yellow bands on the thorax 20 and abdomen 30, which are the technical features of the present invention.

[0031] The head circular ring hook 12, chest circular ring hook 22, and abdominal circular ring hook 32 can be made of various metal or resin ring hooks, such as circular ring hooks, ring hooks with seats, and ring hooks that can be rotatably connected, such as eyelets.

[0032] The first connecting joint 110, the first mass point connecting joint 120, and the second connecting joint 130 can be made of various metal or resin hooks that can be rotatably connected, such as lobster claws, snap hooks with rotating rings, clip hooks, plus hooks, swivel snaps, spring hooks, snap hooks, and pin hooks.

[0033] First strap 113 and second strap 123 may be made of a rod or cylindrical material made of metal or resin, or a rigid body or string, which allows double pendulum motion. For example, a strap that allows double pendulum movement, such as a metal wire, wire, piano wire, cotton string, leather string, synthetic fiber string, nylon string, polyethylene string, polyurethane string, polypropylene string, polyester string, Kevlar (registered trademark) string, elastic string, or flat string, can be used.

[0034] An example of the shape of head 10 is a cylindrical shape 10 to 15 mm long with spherical recesses for attaching eyeballs 11 on the left and right sides of the upper part of one end of head 10. The other end is joined to chest 20. The eyeballs 11 may have any shape as long as they are spherical, and may be, for example, spheres of 8 to 10 mm in diameter, and may be attached to recesses provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the head 10, for example.

[0035] The chest 20 can have a shape that is raised on the side where the head 10 is connected, and gradually tapers to connect to the abdomen 30. The raised shape on the upper surface of the thorax 20 is an inclined base 21, and the wings 40 are fixed to this inclined base 21. In addition, the inclined base 21 can be provided with a notch so as to fit with the wings 40. The inclined base portion 21 is inclined downward from the head side to the ventral side, and the inclination angle can be 5 to 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and preferably 10 to 15 degrees.

[0036] The shape of the abdomen 30 gradually tapers from the junction with the chest 20, for example, a cylindrical part of 4 to 6φ extends later, then gradually expands, then tapers into a spindle shape, and the end can be rounded. In order to indicate the orientation of the resin molded body 1, the tip of the head 10 to which the eyeball 11 is attached will hereinafter be referred to as the "front" or "forward", while the end of the abdomen 30 that is not connected to the chest 20 will hereinafter be referred to as the "back" or "rear".

[0037] When the resin molded body 1 is a giant dragonfly, the black chest 20 and belly 30 have yellow stripes. For example, there may be three yellow diagonal bands rising from the front to the back on both sides of the chest 20. There may be six yellow bands on the abdomen 30. The abdomen 30 may have three bands on a cylindrical portion that tapers backward from the junction with the chest 20, and three bands on a spindle-shaped portion that connects to the cylindrical portion. For example, the spindle-shaped portion may begin to bulge backward from the junction with the chest 20 at the position of the fourth band, reach its maximum bulge at the position of the fifth band, and have a sixth band at a position where the bulge gradually decreases toward the back.

[0038] When the resin molded body 1 simulating a giant dragonfly is a giant dragonfly, the length of the chest 20 is 10 to 20 mm, and the length of the abdomen is 60 to 80 mm. The head 10, chest 20, and belly 30 are made of black resin, and the chest 20 and belly 30 are painted with yellow stripes. The paint may be any paint that can be applied to resin, and various application methods can be used. Application methods that can be used include spray coating, roll coating, screen printing, silk screen printing, and pad printing. Pad printing is preferred as an application method for curved surfaces.

[0039] Each wing 40 is made up of two wings, a front wing 41 and a rear wing 42, and can be made of a transparent, smooth resin plate. The thickness of the resin plate is 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm, preferably 0.3 to 0.6 mm. Any thermoplastic resin can be used for the resin plate, as long as it is transparent and can be molded into a flat plate. The wings 40 may be formed by integrally molding the front wings 41 and the rear wings 42, or may be formed by independently molding the front wings 41 and the rear wings 42.

[0040] Examples of materials that can be used to form the wings 40 include polyolefins such as polystyrene, polyethylene, and polypropylene, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate, polyacrylates such as polymethyl methacrylate, polyamides such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, polyimides, polyarylates, polycarbonates, triacetyl cellulose, polyacrylates, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride, cycloolefin copolymers, norbornene-containing resins, transparent resins such as polyethersulfone and polysulfone, and inorganic glass. Among these, resin plates made of polystyrene (PS), resin plates made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), resin plates made of triacetyl cellulose (TAC), resin plates made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and resin plates made of polyester are preferred.

[0041] The surfaces of the forewings 41 and hindwings 42 are smooth, and vein patterns can be provided on the surface as long as they do not impair surface reflection. For example, the vein patterns can be simple black geometric patterns made up of straight or curved lines about 0.5 mm wide printed on the surface.

[0042] In addition, in order to enhance the surface reflection of the forewings 41 or hind wings 42, various types of reflective tape, such as tape with a pearlescent luster or holographic tape, can be adhered, fused, laminated, or stacked on one or both sides of the forewings 41 and hind wings 42.

[0043] Wings 40, consisting of forewings 41 and hindwings 42, can be attached at various angles to the inclined base 21 on the upper surface of the thorax 20. For example, the integrally molded front wings 41 and rear wings 42 can be attached on the same plane at an angle of 5 to 20 degrees, preferably 10 to 15 degrees, from the horizontal. In addition, the front wings 41 and the rear wings 42 can be attached alternately at different angles relative to the horizontal. For example, the two pairs of front wings 41 can be attached at an angle of 5 to 45 degrees downward and the two pairs of rear wings 42 can be attached at an angle of 5 to 45 degrees upward relative to the horizontal, or the two pairs of front wings 41 can be attached at an angle of 5 to 45 degrees upward and the two pairs of rear wings 42 can be attached at an angle of 5 to 45 degrees downward. Preferably, the pair of two forewings 41 can be attached at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees downward and the pair of two hind wings 42 can be attached at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees upward relative to the horizontal, or the pair of two forewings 41 can be attached at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees upward and the pair of two hind wings 42 can be attached at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees downward relative to the horizontal. Both the forewing 41 and the hindwing 42 are 50 to 70 mm long and 8 to 15 mm wide, and the tip is preferably circular or rounded.

[0044] Furthermore, the forewings 41 or hind wings 42 can be fixed to the inclined base 21, or can be independently attached to the base of the thorax via various hinges or the like so that they can move. For example, the hinge may be a resin hinge, a resin tape, or a glass fiber tape.

[0045] The eyeball 11 has a spherical shape, for example, a diameter of 8 to 10 mm, and has a blue-green metallic luster. The metallic luster can be obtained by applying metallic coating or pearl mica coating to the urea resin. Also, blue-green pearl resin can be used.

[0046] The chest circular ring hook 22 of the resin molded body 1 is located at the center of gravity of the resin molded body 1, and when the resin molded body 1 is connected to the strap part 1, the head 10, chest 20 and abdomen 30 can be in a horizontal position when the resin molded body 1 is stationary. Furthermore, the front wing 41 or the rear wing 42 is inclined from the horizontal by the inclined base portion 21. This inclination makes it easy for the wings to sway when the wind blows.

[0047] The flying pest repellent resin molding can be attached to clothing, miscellaneous goods, personal belongings and articles 300, such as clothing such as jackets and trousers, personal belongings such as backpacks, bags and belts, and miscellaneous goods such as hats and pandanas, via a strap connecting member 100, and can perform double pendulum motion when the user moves. Also, by attaching it to a window or balcony of a building, an outdoor tent, or a branch of a tree, it can be swayed by the wind, allowing it to perform double pendulum motion.

[0048] The resin molded body 1 of the second mass point 600 not only moves in a simple swinging or double pendulum motion, but also has the freedom to rotate around the arm axis of the pendulum, so that an additional rotational motion is added, resulting in more complex movements. These movements are further complicated and non-periodic irregular movements, with the forewings 41 and hind wings 42 generating swinging moments around the thoracic circular ring hook 22 with the thorax 20, and rotational moments around the ends of the head 10 and abdomen 30. This movement of the forewings 41 and hindwings 42 can reflect sunlight during the day and attract the attention of flying insects that are sensitive to sunlight.

[0049] [Production of flying insect repellent resin molded body] [Production Example 1] A 100mm molded body consisting of a head, chest including the inclined base, and abdomen molded as a single unit from black ABS resin was coated with nine yellow bands (a mixture of EXO Yellow (2) and EXO White (made by Jujo AP Ink)) by pad printing, and 8φ eyes with a blue-green metallic luster were attached to the head which had a circular ring hook. The forewings and hind wings were integral and flush with each other, each 125mm long and 10mm wide, and each PET forewing and hindwing was attached to the inclined base on the upper part of the thorax with a circular ring hook on the thorax, producing a resin molded body weighing 7g that resembled a giant dragonfly.

[0050] An example of the strap connecting member will be described. A commercially available strap with a ring was used as the first strap part and the second strap part. The strap with ring has a rotatably attached circular ring at one end and a nylon loop at the other end. Two such straps with rings were prepared, and lobster claws were rotatably connected to each of the circular rings of the strap with ring as the first connecting joint and the first mass joint. Two straps with rings connected by lobster clasps were connected in the following order to form a strap connecting member: first connecting joint (lobster clasp), (circular ring) first strap part (nylon string loop), first mass point joint (lobster clasp), and (circular ring) second strap (nylon string loop). One end of the strap connecting member is the hook of the lobster clasp of the first connecting joint, and the other end of the strap connecting member is a nylon string loop of the second strap that also serves as the second connecting joint. Here, a circular weight can be attached to the lobster clasp of the first mass joint, and by changing the weight, the mass of the first mass can be changed. The lobster clasp hook of the first connecting joint, which is one end of the strap connecting member, was connected to the circular ring hook on the chest of the resin molded body, which serves as the second mass point, to produce a flying pest repellent resin molded body.

[0051] Here, the circular ring of the chest circular ring hook is attached so as to be perpendicular to the line connecting the head to the end of the abdomen of the resin molded body, and by connecting to the hook of the lobster clasp of the first connecting joint, the resin molded body can rotate in the direction of the pendulum swing of the strap connecting member. A circular ring of the first strap part is connected to a circular hole at the end opposite to the hook of the lobster clasp of the first connecting joint, and the lobster clasp of the first connecting joint is rotatable in the direction of the pendulum swing of the strap connecting member. The hook of the first mass joint (lobster clasp) is connected to the nylon string loop of the first strap part, and a circular ring of the second strap part is connected to the circular hole at the end opposite the hook of the lobster clasp of the first mass joint, so that the first mass joint can rotate in the direction of the pendulum swing of the strap connecting member. The length of each of the first strap portion and the second strap portion is 15 mm to 75 mm.

[0052] [Production Example 2] This is the same flying pest repellent resin molding that imitates a giant dragonfly as in Production Example 1, but instead of attaching the strap connecting member to the circular ring hook on the thorax at the top of the chest, a flying pest repellent resin molding that imitates a giant dragonfly was produced in which a safety pin was attached to the head or the circular ring hook on the thorax.

[0053] (Inventions 1-3) According to Production Example 1, a flying insect repellent resin molded product was produced. The length of the first strap portion and the second strap portion was 75 mm, and by changing the mass of the weight, inventions 1 to 3 were manufactured with the ratio of the mass of the first mass point to the mass of the second mass point (mass of the first mass point / mass of the second mass point) being 0.6, 1.1, 1, and 5.

[0054] (Inventions 4-6) Invention 4 is similar to invention 2 except that the length of the second strap portion is 37 mm, and invention 5 is similar to invention 2 except that the length of the first strap portion and the second strap portion is 37 mm. Invention 6 has a first strap portion length of 15 mm, a second strap portion length of 50 mm, and a ratio of the mass of the first mass point to the mass of the second mass point (mass of the first mass point / mass of the second mass point) of 0.14.

[0055] (Comparative product 1) A comparative product 1 was manufactured, which was the same as the invention product 1 except that there was no weight at the first mass other than the first mass joint. The ratio of the mass of the first mass point to the mass of the second mass point (mass of the first mass point / mass of the second mass point) and the lengths of the first and second strap portions of the above invention products 1 to 6 and comparison product 1 are summarized in Table 1.

[0056] [Table 1]

[0057] [Measurement of warning color tone] The color of the surface of the yellow band on the abdomen of the flying insect pest repellent resin molded product obtained in Production Example 1 was measured with a spectrophotometer (CM-700d manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.). The data was obtained by measuring three samples at three different locations marked with yellow bands per sample, and taking the arithmetic mean of the measured values. Here, in the L*a*b* color system (International Commission on Illumination), the "L*" axis represents lightness, the "a*" axis represents red for positive and green for negative, and the "b*" axis represents yellow for positive and blue for negative. The flying pest repellent resin molding of the present invention has a warning color yellow band on the belly that has an L*a*b* color system chromaticity of 95≦L*≦100, -10≦a*≦-25, and 70≦b*≦95, or more preferably 97≦L*≦100, -15≦a*≦-22, and 72≦b*≦94. In addition, the warning colored eyeballs have a metallic luster, and in L*a*b* color system chromaticity, the range is 40≦L*≦70, -50≦a*≦-35, and -15≦b*≦5, and more preferably, 50≦L*≦60, -40≦a*≦-30, and -7≦b*≦3.

[0058] [Double pendulum test] The flying pest repellent resin molding of Manufacturing Example 1 was hung rotatably, and with the first strap part and the second strap part stretched without slack, it was allowed to move in a free pendulum motion from the horizontal, and continuous photography was performed with 0.1 seconds per frame. The length of the first strap part and the second strap part (the length of pendulum 1 and pendulum 2) and the mass of the first mass point were changed, and the free pendulum motion was observed.

[0059] The pendulums were allowed to swing freely from the horizontal, and continuous photographs were taken at 0.1 seconds per frame, and the phases of the pendulum motion of pendulums 1 and 2 were examined by analyzing the images. Since we were able to confirm the anti-phase pendulum motion as shown in Figure 3(2), we determined that there was "double pendulum motion." The evaluation results for Comparative Product 1 and Invention Products 1 to 3 are shown in Table 2 below.

[0060] [Table 2]

[0061] The period of the in-phase pendulum shown in Figure 3(1) of pendulum motion did not change significantly even if the ratio of the mass of the first mass to the mass of the second mass (mass of the first mass / mass of the second mass) was changed, as long as the length of the pendulum was the same. For example, in the case of invention product 2, one cycle of pendulum motion shown in Figure 3(1) was approximately 0.7 to 0.8 seconds, and the two pendulums swung in phase until approximately 0.4 seconds. It was also confirmed that the resin molded body rotated with its back facing the object.

[0062] After about 0.5 seconds, the two pendulums were clearly swinging in opposite phases, as shown in Figure 3(2). At this time, the angle between the first and second pendulums was about 110 degrees. It was observed that it continued to swing in opposite directions. It rotated backwards three times per second, and also rotated horizontally, resulting in a complex movement overall.

[0063] As shown in Table 2, when a weight was attached to the first mass connecting joint, double pendulum motion was confirmed when the ratio of the mass of the first mass to the mass of the second mass (mass of the first mass / mass of the second mass) exceeded 0.125.

[0064] In the case of invention product 4, in which the lengths of the first strap part and the second strap part are different and the length of strap 2 is half that of invention product 2, double pendulum motion was confirmed, swinging in opposite phases as shown in Figure 3(2) after approximately 0.3 to 0.4 seconds. In the case of Invention Product 4, in which both the first and second strap sections are half the length of Invention Product 2, double pendulum motion was observed, swinging in opposite phases as shown in Figure 3(2), after approximately 0.3 to 0.4 seconds. From the above, it was confirmed that double pendulum motion occurs regardless of the length of the first or second strap portion when the ratio of the mass of the first mass point to the mass of the second mass point (mass of the first mass point / mass of the second mass point) exceeds 0.125.

[0065] [Flying pest repellent test] This invention is expected to be effective in repelling flying pests during the daytime because it not only replicates the external characteristics of the giant dragonfly, which preys on flying pests, but also its complex, non-periodic flight movements using double pendulum motion. To this end, a demonstration test was conducted to verify the effectiveness of this invention during actual daytime outdoor activities. As a flying pest repellent test, a questionnaire survey was conducted at a large resort hotel with a large campground nearby.

[0066] [Flying pest repellent test method] Guests staying at a large resort hotel with a large campground nearby were asked to wear a flying pest repellent resin molded product while engaging in normal activities such as nature walks. The flying pest repellent resin body used was a double pendulum structure flying pest repellent resin body of Invention 6 (hereinafter referred to as "double pendulum structure flying pest repellent resin body") in which the mass of the first mass point / the mass of the second mass point is 0.143 and double pendulum motion has been confirmed, and a flying pest repellent resin body attached with a safety pin instead of the double pendulum structure (hereinafter referred to as "safety pin flying pest repellent resin body"), and the results of attaching them to various parts were compared. In addition, a questionnaire was conducted regarding flying pests such as mosquitoes, flies, horseflies, wasps, and others, regarding sightings of flying pests, proximity, and insect bites.

[0067] [Flying pest repellent test] Between August and September, 483 test subjects (hotel guests) were asked to attach a double-pendulum flying pest repellent resin (223 people) or a safety pin resin molded body (194 people) to their hats, clothes (jacket), trousers, bags and other personal belongings, and then a questionnaire was conducted on flying pests such as mosquitoes, flies, horseflies, bees and others regarding the proximity of flying pests, whether they had been bitten, and whether they had been seen. The total number does not match the total number of subjects due to non-response, unknown and multiple responses.

[0068] The subjects' reports on the effectiveness of the trees as repellents against flying pests were compiled. The "effectiveness" of the product was judged based on direct evidence such as "mosquitoes, flies, horseflies, bees, and other insects were actually attracted, but the insects were actually seen running away." On the other hand, for cases where there was no effect, various circumstances could be considered, such as "there were no insects to begin with," "they did not go near places where insects were likely to appear," or "insects came near but their subsequent behavior was not observed." Therefore, the results of cases where there was an effect, based on direct evidence such as actual sightings, are summarized in Table 3 below.

[0069] [Table 3]

[0070] 151 people responded that they had seen direct evidence, such as seeing insects fly towards them and then fly away. When asked about the types of insects they had seen, many simply answered "insects." However, among the responses where the types of insects had been identified, there were more mentions of large flying pests such as flies, gnats, and bees than mosquitoes. In particular, the high number of mentions of bees is presumably due to the fact that the proximity of bees attracts the subjects' attention. The results in Table 3 confirm that the double pendulum structure or safety pin flying pest repellent resin body is effective in repelling flying pests. In particular, it was confirmed to have a repellent effect against bees.

[0071] Next, we examined the pest repellent effect of the flying pest repellent resin body, i.e., "pests do not come near." Confirmation of pest repellency differs from confirmation of direct evidence such as the sighting of flying pest repellents mentioned above. If the answer to the question of whether or not there are any pests nearby is "No flying pests nearby," it is possible that the person did not encounter any insects or did not notice that they were nearby. To this end, based on eyewitness evidence of insects approaching, we examined the differences in the effectiveness of flying pest repellent resin bodies with a double pendulum structure and safety pin flying pest repellent resin bodies in repellent against flying pests, as well as the differences in the effectiveness of flying pest repellent depending on the location of attachment.

[0072] [Close-up example of a bee] There were six reports of bees being seen approaching, and the double pendulum structure or safety pin flying pest repellent resin bodies used in cases where bees were seen approaching, and the number of sightings at the locations where they were attached, are shown in Table 4 below.

[0073] [Table 4]

[0074] As shown in Table 4, among the cases where bees were observed approaching, those who had flying pest repellent resin objects attached to their clothing were all cases where safety pin flying pest repellent resin objects were used. In the case of the flying pest repellent resin body of the safety pin, the approach of bees was not observed when the pin was attached to the jacket, but the approach of bees was observed when the pin was attached to the hat or trousers. On the other hand, in the case of the double-pendulum flying pest repellent resin body, there were no reports of it being worn on the body, but wasps were observed approaching when it was placed on a balcony or in an open-air bath. The results in Table 4 confirm the effectiveness of the double-pendulum structured flying pest repellent resin body, which moves in a complex, non-periodic manner like a double pendulum.

[0075] [Test method for preventing bees from approaching buildings] Invention 6, a flying pest repellent resin body with a double pendulum structure, was installed on a single bamboo stalk in the open-air bath with a great view and on the outdoor dining terrace of a medium-sized inn in a large tourist destination where nearby sightseeing routes are frequently closed due to hornet infestations, and the approach of hornets and other insects was observed.

[0076] [Test to prevent wasps from approaching buildings] In September, a test to prevent bees from approaching the building was conducted over two sunny days at a medium-sized inn in a major tourist area where flying bees are frequently seen, including a nearby tourist course that was closed due to a hornet infestation. In the open-air bath and outdoor dining terrace of a ryokan with a great view, a flying pest repellent resin body with a double pendulum structure was hung on the tip of a single bamboo branch 150 cm above the ground, 3 m from the open-air bath and 3 m from the tables on the outdoor dining terrace, in a position that was easily visible from all around, and the approach of hornets and other insects was observed from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

[0077] During the two days of observation, hornets were seen flying outside, but no paper wasps or hornets were seen approaching the open-air bath or the tables on the outdoor dining terrace. Additionally, no dead paper wasps, honeybees, or hornets were found in the open-air bath or the outdoor dining terrace. A double-pendulum flying pest repellent resin body hung from a single bamboo stalk was observed to move in a complex, non-periodic manner as the branch swayed in the wind. This confirms that the double-pendulum motion of the present invention deters wasps from approaching buildings such as open-air baths and outdoor dining terraces, and that the double-pendulum flying pest repellent resin body of the present invention is effective in preventing wasps from approaching buildings, especially against flying pests such as hornets. [Industrial Applicability]

[0078] The flying pest repellent resin body of the present invention, which imitates the dragonfly that moves in double pendulum motion and has been confirmed to be effective in repelling flying pests, can protect people engaged in outdoor activities such as farming and forestry from damage caused by dangerous flying pests such as bees and black flies without the need to spray chemicals such as insecticides or use electronic devices that reproduce the sound of dragonfly wings.It can also eliminate problems such as insect bites by flying pests during outdoor recreation, allowing industrial activities to continue in nature, and is expected to have great industrial applicability.
