Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stink bug trap, and more particularly to a stink bug trap having an adhesive portion on the bottom surface of a sheet-like base. [Background technology]

[0002] Unlike the insect traps in Patent Documents 1 and 2, which require a light source to be prepared, and unlike the insect traps in Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Document 1, in which the trapper traps the stink bugs themselves, the stink bug trap in Patent Document 4 is known, which makes use of the tendency of stink bugs to be attracted to light.

[0005] In order to cope with mass infestations of stink bugs, a stink bug trap that can capture them more efficiently is desired. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a stink bug trap that can capture stink bugs more efficiently. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the stink bug trap of the present invention is a stink bug trap consisting of a trapping material having an adhesive portion on its bottom surface and a hanging material for suspending the trapping material, and is characterized in having a collision wall material erected above the bottom of the trapping material. With this configuration, the flying and gathering stink bugs collide with the collision wall material and fall into the trapping material, making it possible to trap the stink bugs more efficiently.

[0007] In addition, in the stink bug trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the collision wall material is provided with a hanging portion for hanging. With this structure, the collision wall material can be easily set upright above the bottom of the capture material. In order to prevent the collision wall material from swaying when suspended, a structure for regulating the position of the collision wall material may be added to the lower side of the collision wall material.

[0008] In addition, in the stink bug trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the collision wall material is provided with a hanging portion for hanging, and the collision wall material also serves as the hanging member. Since the collision wall material also serves as a suspension member, the number of parts can be reduced and assembly can be simplified when in use.

[0009] In addition, in the stink bug trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the surface of the adhesive portion of the trapping material is uneven. When a stink bug falls, often only the leg tips come into contact with the sticky part, but by making the surface of the sticky part uneven, not only the leg tips but also other parts of the legs can easily come into contact with the sticky part on the stepped surface, making it possible to capture the stink bug more reliably and efficiently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The following describes the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments shown below are not intended to limit the present invention to those described herein, and the present invention can be equally applied to those in which various modifications are made without departing from the technical ideas set forth in the claims. Note that in each drawing used for explanation in this specification, each component is shown at a different scale in order to make each component recognizable on the drawing, and is not necessarily shown in proportion to the actual dimensions.

[0012] [Embodiment 1] The configuration of the main parts of the stink bug trap 100 of embodiment 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2A. Figure 1 is an image of a model of the trapping material folded and hung in a usable state, Figure 2A is a development view of the trapping material in Figure 1 before folding, and Figure 2B is a plan view of the collision wall material in Figure 1. The stink bug trap 100 of embodiment 1 is configured by adding a collision wall material 20 to a stink bug trap such as that described in Patent Document 4, which consists of a trapping material 1 having an adhesive portion 20 on the surface of a bottom 11 and a hanging material 3 for suspending the trapping material 1.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 2A, the trapping material 1 of the stink bug trap 100 of embodiment 1 consists of a foldable rectangular sheet backing made of paper, plastic, or the like, which is folded by the user into a rectangular box shape when used, as shown in Fig. 1. This rectangular box shape consists of a bottom 11, two long side wall portions 12, two short side wall portions 13, and connecting flaps 14 formed by extending from both ends of the long side wall portions 12.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 2A, the capturing material 1 before folding has first and second valley fold lines V1, V2 that become the long side wall portion 12 in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet, and third and fourth valley fold lines V3, V4 that become the short side wall portion 13 in the short direction. Then, by folding these first to fourth valley fold lines V1 to V4 and connecting flaps 14 to the short side wall portion 13, the capturing material 1 in Fig. 2A becomes a rectangular box shape as shown in Fig. 1.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, when the trapping material 1 of the stink bug trap 100 is folded into a usable state, the height L1 of the long side wall portion 12 is lower than the height L2 of the short side wall portion 13, and the first to fourth valley fold lines V1 to V4 are designed in this manner.

[0016] Additionally, the trapping material 1 has an adhesive portion 20 formed over the entire area of ​​the bottom portion 11 and over the lower portions of the long side wall portions 12 and short side wall portions 13. This adhesive portion 20 is made of an adhesive (not shown) that traps stink bugs by its adhesive power. It is preferable to cover the surface of the adhesive portion 2 with a protective sheet before use, and to remove this protective sheet when using the material.

[0017] As described above, the trapping material 1 of the stink bug trap 100 of embodiment 1 has long side wall portions 12 and short side wall portions 13 formed around the adhesive portion 2, making it more difficult for stink bugs attempting to escape from the adhesive portion 2 compared to a trapping material 1 consisting only of a bottom portion 21 that does not have long side wall portions 12 and short side wall portions 13.

[0018] 1 and 2A may have any color that attracts stink bugs. Also, since it is better for the trapping material 1 to be light-transmitting, if it is made of paper, it is preferable that it is relatively thin.

[0019] Fixing parts 15 consisting of holes are formed on both ends of the two short side wall parts 13 of the capturing material 1 and on the four connecting flaps 14. These fixing parts 15 are used to fix the hanging material 3 consisting of a string. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, the hanging material 3 is passed through these fixing parts 15 to fix the hanging material 3. This fixation connects the short side wall parts 13 and the connecting flaps 14.

[0020] The stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment is configured to include a collision wall material 4 in addition to the trapping material 1 and the hanging material 3. As shown in Fig. 2B, the collision wall material 4 is sheet-like and has a hanging part 41 consisting of a hole in the center of one end. It is preferable that the collision wall material 4 has a color that attracts stink bugs and is transparent so that light from a light source can easily pass through.

[0021] Next, an example of how to use the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, a hanging material 3 made of a string is passed through a fixing part 15 made of two holes, and the hanging material 3 and the hanging part 41 of the collision wall material 4 are hung on a screw hook (not shown) or the like attached near a lighting fixture on the ceiling. The stink bug trap 100 of this embodiment is used in this manner. At this time, in this embodiment, the collision wall material 4 is disposed between the two hanging materials 3 and is in an upright state suspended above the bottom 11. The upright collision wall material 4 has a notch at the bottom so that it does not come into contact with the short side wall portion 13.

[0022] As a result, when stink bugs are attracted to the light of the lighting fixture and gather, the flying stink bugs collide with the collision wall material 4 and fall into the trapping material 1, making it possible to trap stink bugs more efficiently.

[0023] As described above, in the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment, height L1 of long side wall portion 12 is lower than height L2 of short side wall portion 13, so that stink bugs can more easily enter through the lower long side wall portion 12 than through the higher short side wall portion 13. In terms of ease of entry, it is better for long side wall portion 12 and short side wall portion 13 to be low, but if hanging material 3 is fixed to long side wall portion 12, the hanging trapping material 1 is more likely to rotate horizontally. Therefore, by changing the heights of long side wall portion 12 and short side wall portion 13 and fixing hanging material 3 to the higher short side wall portion 12, it is possible to achieve both ease of entry for stink bugs and difficulty in rotating the hanging trapping material 1.

[0024] In addition, since the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment is made of the trapping material 1 in the form of a sheet mount, it does not require much space for storage before use and is more convenient to store than a trapping material that is box-shaped from the start. In addition, the manufacturing and transportation costs are cheaper. In addition, although the hanging material 3 in the first embodiment is a string, the present invention is not limited to this, and other things such as chains or wires may be used as long as they are capable of hanging the capturing material 1. In addition, in this embodiment, there is only one collision wall material 4 erected above the bottom 11 of the capture material 1, but multiple collision wall materials may be used. Also, for example, a sheet-shaped collision wall material 4 may be folded in the middle to form a collision wall material 4 consisting of two inclined surfaces. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the collision wall material 4 has a hanging portion 41, and by hanging this hanging portion 41 on a screw hook or the like, the collision wall material 4 is configured to stand upright above the bottom 11 of the trapping material 1. However, the stink bug trap of the present invention can also adopt a configuration that does not have a hanging portion 41, for example, by bonding the lower part of the collision wall material 4 to the bottom 11, so that the collision wall material 4 is configured to stand upright.

[0025] [Variation 1] A modified example of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3(1) is a cross-sectional view showing the lower part of the collision wall material 4 of the first embodiment, and Fig. 3(2) is a cross-sectional view of the modified example. In the modified stink bug trap 100A, parts having the same configuration as the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted, and parts having the same names but different configurations are given the suffix "A" after the reference numerals.

[0026] The collision wall material 4 suspended by the suspension portion 41 in the first embodiment is in a suspended state because there is nothing below to regulate its position. For this reason, it is conceivable that the collision wall material 4 may shake in some cases when a stink bug collides or the wind blows. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3(2), the lower portion of the collision wall material 4A is extended to provide an insertion portion 42, and a rectangular insertion hole 16 into which the insertion portion 42 is inserted is provided in the short side wall portion 13A. Such a configuration for regulating the position of the collision wall material 4A can prevent the collision wall material 4A from shaking.

[0027] [Embodiment 2] The second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 is an image of a model of a stink bug trap of the second embodiment. Figure 5A is a development view of the trapping material (box-shaped) of Figure 4 before folding, and Figure 5B is a plan view of the collision wall material of Figure 4. In the stink bug trap 100B of the second embodiment, parts having the same configuration as the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted, and parts having the same names but different configurations are given the suffix "B" after the reference numerals.

[0028] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, an engagement portion 17 consisting of a hole is provided on each of the two short side wall portions 13B, and an engagement hook 43 with which the engagement portion 17 engages is provided on both ends of the lower portion of the collision wall material 4B. 5B, the engaging hook 43 is formed by a hole and a slit from the outer periphery to the hole. Also, a hanging part 41 consisting of a hole is provided above the collision wall material 4B, similar to the first embodiment.

[0029] 4, when the hanging portion 41 is hung on a screw hook or the like on the ceiling to hang the collision wall material 4B, the trapping material 1B is also hung by the engagement of the engagement hook 43 and the engagement portion 17. That is, in the stink bug trap 100B of this embodiment, the collision wall material 4B also serves as the hanging material 3 made of the string of embodiment 1. Therefore, compared to the configuration in which a string is used as the hanging material 3 as in embodiment 1, no string material is required, which reduces costs and simplifies the assembly work.

[0030] In this embodiment, since there is no string as the hanging material 3, when forming the capture material 1B into a box shape, a means for connecting the short side wall portion 13B and the connecting flap 14B is required. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, a connecting slit 18 is provided in the connecting flap 14B, and a connecting tongue 19 into which the connecting slit 18 is fitted is provided in the short side wall portion 13B. With this configuration, the short side wall portion 13B and the connecting flap 14B can be connected. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the short side wall portion 13B is assembled so that it is positioned outside the connecting flap 14B. With this assembly, the short side wall portion 13B is unlikely to spread outward due to engagement with the collision wall material 4B, so the connecting flap 14B on the inside is also unlikely to spread outward, and the connecting tongue 19 is unlikely to come off the connecting slit 18. Even with this configuration, it is possible to use the connecting slit 18 and the connecting tongue piece 19 by threading a string through them as in the first embodiment. Note that the short side wall portion 13B and the connecting flap 14B may be connected by other methods than those described above, for example, by using double-sided tape or a stapler.

[0031] [Embodiment 3] The third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6A is a plan view showing an adhesive part of the third embodiment, and Fig. 6B is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the line VIB-VIB of Fig. 6A. In the stink bug trap 100C of the third embodiment, parts having the same configuration as the stink bug trap 100 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted, while parts having different configurations and the same names are given the suffix "C" after the reference numerals.

[0032] In the adhesive portion 20C of the third embodiment, a lattice-shaped adhesive is added onto a flat adhesive. The added portions become convex portions, and the portions not added become concave portions. In this way, the surface of the adhesive portion 20C is uneven. When a stink bug falls, only the leg tips often come into contact with the adhesive portion 20C, but by making the surface of the adhesive portion 20C uneven, not only the leg tips but also other parts of the legs are more likely to come into contact with the adhesive portion 20C on the step surface, so that the bug can be captured more reliably and efficiently.

[0033] In the third embodiment, the uneven surface is formed by changing the thickness of the adhesive, but the present invention is not limited to this method. For example, the bottom 11 of the capturing material 1C may be made uneven, and an adhesive that forms the adhesive portion 20C may be provided on the surface of the uneven surface.
