Mousetrap gripping with adhesive plates

Abstract

To provide a mousetrap which has a high capture rate, does not become dirty, performs processing work of a captured mouse hygienically, and impose little psychological resistance on a user.SOLUTION: A spring-type mousetrap has a pedestal, a bar whose one end is rotatably held by the pedestal and whose other end is energized by the spring toward the pedestal, and a stopper holding the bar away from the pedestal. When a mouse attracted to bait contacts a stopper, hold of the bar with the stopper is released, and the mouse is in between the energized bar and the pedestal. An adhesive plate is located at the bar gripping the mouse and on at least one of surfaces of the pedestal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mousetrap device. [Background technology]

[0002] Typical conventional mousetraps include the spring type, which traps mice attracted with bait by pinching them with a spring, and the sticky type, which traps mice that happen to pass directly above a sticky board placed on the floor. The spring type attracts with food, so the capture rate is high, but because the rat is directly clamped, the device itself becomes dirty, the process of disposing of the captured rats is unsanitary, and the rats are directly visible, so there is a lot of psychological resistance to it.The sticky type sticks to and captures rats that happen to pass directly above the sticky board, so there is a low capture rate, but because the rat is clamped inside the double-folded sticky board and the sticky board is discarded, the process of disposing of the captured rats is sanitary, and the rats are not directly visible, so there is little psychological resistance to it. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To provide a mousetrap having a high capture rate, keeping the device itself clean, allowing hygienic disposal of captured mice, preventing direct visibility of the mice, and reducing psychological resistance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, a mousetrap device that is clamped with an adhesive plate comprises a base, a bar whose end is rotatably held on the base and whose tip is biased towards the base by a spring, and a stopper that holds the tip of the bar away from the base; when a mouse is attracted with bait and touches the stopper, the stopper releases the hold of the bar, and the mouse is caught by being clamped between the tip of the biased bar and the base, and this spring-type mousetrap device is characterized in that an adhesive plate is arranged on at least one surface of the base and the tip of the bar that clamps the mouse. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] Unlike conventional sticky traps that catch mice that happen to pass directly above the sticky board, this trap attracts mice to the center of the sticky board with bait and then pinches the mice through the sticky board, so that the trapping device itself does not get dirty, and the sticky board is discarded with the mouse pinched inside, so that the disposal of the caught mice is hygienic, the mice are not directly visible, and psychological resistance to the trapping device is small. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] Principle diagram DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] A spring-loaded mousetrap generally consists of a bar bent into a frame shape, held on a base in a rotatable state with one end side acting as the axis of rotation, and one end side opposite the end side that serves as the axis of rotation is biased toward the base by a spring, and this end side is held by the end of a stopper at a position away from the base, and when the mouse moves the bait placed at the end of the stopper, the hold of the bar by the stopper is released, and the mouse is caught by being pinned between the biased end side of the bar and the base.

[0008] An adhesive mousetrap generally consists of a two-fold board with adhesive applied to the inside surface. It is carried by closing the board so that the two adhesive sides are close together, and placed on the floor with the adhesive side facing upwards, and it sticks to and captures any mouse that happens to pass directly above it.

[0009] Figure 1 is drawn to allow the structure to be understood at a glance; the dimensions are not accurate, and the bait is drawn in a visible position, but not in the optimal position. If the bait is placed in a high position, you can also place a cover on top to prevent mice from approaching it from above. When a mouse pulls down on the food placed at the tip of the stopper, the stopper rotates around the pin, and the end of the stopper rises, releasing the bar that was holding it in place. This is a simple structure, but it is only one example and is not limited to this structure. The bait can also be pulled upward in conjunction with the movement of the bar toward the base. A hook is provided at the throat of the adhesive board to hold the double-folded adhesive board between the base and the bar that holds the mouse, but the holding method is not limited as long as the structure can hold the adhesive board and allows the adhesive board to be easily attached and detached when set up and after capturing the mouse.

[0010] It is possible to place an adhesive plate on only one side of the base or bar that holds the mouse, but in that case, it is necessary to cover the opposing side of the device with something to prevent the mouse from coming into direct contact with the adhesive. For example, applying adhesive to only one side of a conventional two-sided adhesive board would be cheaper and would also have the effect of reducing rats' wariness. Unlike conventional spring-type devices, the device is positioned vertically so that the rat can enter the center of the sticky board without touching the sticky surface, but it can also be positioned so that the rotation axis of the bar is parallel to the floor and the sticky surface faces downward, and if there is only one sticky surface, the conventional positioning method is also acceptable. Compared to conventional adhesive types that are placed with the adhesive side facing up, this type also has the advantage of being less likely to be accidentally stepped on. In both configurations, the rat's feet are on the normal floor surface, making it less wary, and it does not escape simply by touching the edge of a sticky board placed on the floor with its toes, as in the past.Instead, the rat's body is forced to stick to the center of the sticky board using the force of the spring, and it can be captured reliably.

[0011] In FIG. 1, the bars are spaced apart by 90 degrees, but this is merely an example and the angle is not limiting. If the bar closes quickly enough that the rat detects the movement and can escape, or if the sticky surface is large enough, it is preferable to open it as wide as possible, as this will reduce the rat's wariness. If the adhesive surface is large or opens to a wide angle, air resistance will slow down the closing speed, so air resistance can be reduced by drilling multiple holes in the adhesive surface. Furthermore, although the diagram shows the sticky board folded in half, if one side of it were folded again and closed to encase the mouse inside, the exit part would close before the center part of the sticky surface where the mouse is, and the mouse would try to climb up the sticky surface, thereby increasing the capture rate. The structure is such that an adhesive plate fits inside the frame of a bar that is opened at a wide angle, and when the bar is open, one side of the bar is folded in half, and the folded side unfolds and closes in conjunction with the movement of the bar closing, or instead of folding in half, one side of a single adhesive plate can be rotatably held at one side of the tip of the bar, and the opposing side can be held movably along the base. In both types, the sticky plate is held behind the position of the mouse that has been attracted by the bait and is pulled out to cover the mouse.It closes quickly because there is little air resistance, and when it is installed, there is no sticky plate near the bait, which also has the effect of reducing the mouse's wariness.

Claims

[Claim 1] This spring-type mousetrap comprises a base, a bar whose end is rotatably held by the base and whose tip is biased toward the base, and a stopper that holds the tip of the bar away from the base, and when the mouse touches the stopper, the stopper releases the bar from being held, and the mouse is caught by being pinched between the tip of the biased bar and the base, and this sticky plate mousetrap is characterized in that an sticky plate is provided on at least one surface of the base and the tip of the bar that pinches the mouse.
