AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing insect traps face challenges in effectively capturing insects due to gaps between the trap and the tree, allowing insects to escape, particularly in cylindrical traps with circular openings.

Method used

A partially released frame with a bridged wire and mesh bag forms an insect-catching net, connected by an elastic shaft, which is pressed against the tree to ensure close contact and expanded capture area.

Benefits of technology

The design enhances insect capture by expanding the capture area, increasing the likelihood of successful trapping.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an insect trap having a wire attached to a partially released frame.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there has been an insect trap that constricts the opening of the trap and allows the rear part to be opened and closed (see Patent Document 1). Also, in an insect trap of a bottomed mesh bag on an air current, there has been an insect trap that prevents captured insects from easily escaping (see Patent Document 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For this reason, there were the following problems. Patent Documents 1 and 2 are both measures after insect capture. When capturing an insect on a cylindrical tree with a circular trap, since the contact part between the tree and the trap is only a contact point, insects escape through the gap between the circular trap and the tree, making it difficult to capture them. The present invention has been made to solve this problem.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] A partially released frame (2) is provided, and a wire (1) is provided so as to bridge the open ends of the frame (2). A mesh bag (3) is provided on the frame (2) and the wire (1) to form an insect-catching net (6). The insect-catching net (6) and the handle (5) are connected by an elastic shaft. This insect trapping device has the above characteristics. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] By closely attaching a semi-circular wire to wood, the capture area is expanded, increasing the probability of catching insects. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a side view of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention. (i) Assemble a partially open frame (2), wire (1), and mesh bag (3) to create an insect net (6). (b) An elastic shaft made of elastic plastic resin material is attached between the insect net (6) and the handle (5). The elastic shaft is an elastic shaft that is used when the handle (5) presses the insect net (6) against the tree to make it tightly attached. The present invention has the configuration described above. When using this invention, the handle (5) is pressed against the tree while the elastic shaft (4) is bent, causing the tree and the wire (1) of the insect net (6) to be in close contact, covering and capturing the insect. Because the capture range is expanded, insects can be captured more easily. The wire material (1) should preferably be an elastic metal wire such as wire or binding wire. [Explanation of Symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] An insect trapping device characterized by comprising a frame (2) with a portion open, wires (1) provided to bridge the open ends of the frame (2), a mesh bag (3) provided between the frame (2) and the wires (1) to form an insect net (6), and the insect net (6) and handle (5) connected by an elastic shaft.
