Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a noose trap. More specifically, the present invention relates to a noose trap used for capturing wild animals.

Background Art

[0002] Noose traps are used when capturing wild animals (for example, Patent Document 1). A noose trap includes a wire guide capable of holding a wire in a tensioned state around it, and by using the movement of the wire guide as a trigger to noose the legs of a wild animal with the wire released from the state of being held by the wire guide, the wild animal can be captured.

[0003] The noose trap (animal capture trap 100) described in Patent Document 1 is an invention by the inventor of the present application, and includes a fixed frame (frame body 110), a tread plate (tread plate 121) placed on the fixed frame via a tread plate support member (support pin 118), and a moving body (actuating device 120) composed of wire guides (a pair of actuating members 122, 123). This noose trap is set up at the site with a wire wound around the periphery of the fallen wire guide under tension. When a wild animal steps on the tread plate, the tread plate support member breaks and the moving body descends, and at the same time, the wire guide interferes with the upper end of the fixed frame and springs up while raising the wire, and the noosed wire catches the legs of the wild animal to capture the wild animal.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Such a snare is usually installed buried in the ground. And wild animals whose legs are snared by wires often struggle violently. For this reason, the fixing frames and moving bodies after capturing wild animals are often stepped on or kicked by wild animals, and it may be difficult to find them. In particular, for the fixing frame, when stepped on, it will be deeply buried in the ground and often does not appear on the ground surface after capturing wild animals. Moreover, the surrounding of the installation location is also damaged by the captured wild animals, making it difficult to find them.

[0006] The object of the present invention is made in view of such points, and it is to provide a snare that is easy to find after capturing wild animals.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, a snare trap which is an embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that each drawing does not necessarily strictly reflect the actual dimensions.

[0014] (Configuration of the snare trap 1) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the snare trap 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a configuration explanatory diagram of the wire device 10 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state where the moving body 40 of the snare trap 1 shown in FIG. 1 is not placed on the fixed-side main body 30. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of the snare trap 1 shown in FIG. 1. Note that FIG. 4(a) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a state where the wire guide 43 in the snare trap 1 holds the wire 11 in a fallen posture. Also, FIG. 4(b) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a state where the wire guide 43 in the snare trap 1 releases the wire 11 in a flipped-up posture.

[0015] The snare 1 according to the embodiment is a snare for capturing wild animals by snaring the feet of wild animals with a wire. As shown in FIG. 1, it includes a wire device 10 and a snare body 20 capable of holding the wire device 10.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the wire device 10 has a long wire 11 and a wire tightening mechanism 12 that penetrates the wire 11 from the tip side to the root side.

[0017] The wire 11 is a metal stranded wire, and a small loop-sized through-loop 11a is formed at the tip. The wire 11 is looped with the root-side end passed through the through-loop 11a, so that a snaring loop 11b with a variable loop size is formed on the tip side. The wire 11 snares the feet of the wild animal N with the snaring loop 11b.

[0018] The wire tightening mechanism 12 includes a tip cylinder 13 having a bottomed cylindrical shape with the outer surface of the bottom arranged to be in contact with the through-loop 11a, a root cylinder 14 having a bottomed cylindrical shape with the outer surface of the bottom arranged to face the root side, a wire spring 15 which is a compression spring and is arranged between the tip cylinder 13 and the root cylinder 14, a fixed cylinder 16 arranged in a cylindrical shape and capable of contacting the outer surface of the bottom of the root cylinder 14, and a fixing bolt 17 screwed into the fixed cylinder 16 to fix the fixed cylinder 16 to the wire 11.

[0019] The wire device 10 configured as described above is such that the wire spring 15 pushes the tip cylinder 13 based on the base cylinder 14 whose movement toward the base side is restricted by the fixed cylinder 16, and the tip cylinder 13 pushes the through-ring 11a of the wire 11. As a result, the wire device 10 is configured to always try to reduce the ring size of the tightening ring 11b. On the other hand, when the wire device 10 holds the tightening ring 11b along the outer shape of a frame of a predetermined size (when the ring size of the tightening ring 11b cannot be reduced), the wire spring 15 pushes the base cylinder 14 based on the tip cylinder 13, and the base cylinder 14 pushes the fixed cylinder 16. As a result, the wire device 10 is configured to always apply a tension for tightening the wire 11 by pulling the wire 11 with the fixed cylinder 16.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the tightening trap main body 20 includes a fixed-side main body 30, a moving body 40 that can move vertically with respect to the fixed-side main body 30 during use, and a connecting tool 50 that connects the fixed-side main body 30 and the moving body 40.

[0021] The fixed-side main body 30 includes a fixed frame 31, a plurality of pedal support members 32 that are prepared as consumables for supporting a pedal 41 described later and are installed on the fixed frame 31, and a fixed-frame-side connection portion 33 for connecting a connecting tool 50 described later.

[0022] The fixed frame 31 is a frame-shaped member of a predetermined length. As a more specific example, the fixed frame 31 is a resin-made cylindrical tube. Around the fixed frame 31, as a pedal support member installation portion, through-holes having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the pedal support member 32 described later are formed at three or more locations in the circumferential direction at a predetermined distance from the end face. If each location where these through-holes are formed is formed by a plurality of through-holes, it is more preferable because the number of the pedal support members 32 described later can be changed to adjust the support force of the pedal 41 described later.

[0023] The pedal support member 32 is an elongated rod-shaped member that bends when a certain amount of load is applied, and is inserted and installed in a through-hole formed around the fixed frame 31. As a more specific example, the pedal support member 32 is a wooden toothpick, and is inserted and installed in through-holes formed at three or more locations on the side surface of the fixed frame 31, respectively, so as to protrude to the inner diameter side of the fixed frame 31, and the pedal 41 described later can be placed on the upper part of the protruding portion.

[0024] The fixed frame side connection part 33 is a through-hole provided near the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the fixed frame 31. One end of a connecting tool 50 described later is tied to the fixed frame side connection part 33, enabling the connection of the connecting tool 50. Regarding the fixed frame side connection part, as long as the connecting tool can be connected, various forms such as protrusions, screw holes, clips, etc. can be adopted in addition to the through-hole.

[0025] The moving body 40 includes a plate-shaped pedal 41, a pair of wire guide bases 42 fixed to the pedal 41, a pair of wire guides 43 rotatably fixed to the wire guide bases 42, a pair of wire guide operating force adjustment bases 44 fixed to the pedal 41, a plurality of wire guide operating force adjustment members 45 prepared as consumables and installed on the respective wire guide operating force adjustment bases 44, and a moving body side connection part 46 for connecting the connecting tool 50 described later.

[0026] The pedal 41 has an outer shape that can move up and down inside the fixed frame 31. More specifically, the pedal 41 is a wooden circular plate with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the fixed frame 31. The outer diameter dimension of the pedal 41 may be appropriately set according to the size of the feet of the target wild animal N so that the wild animal N can easily step on it.

[0027] The wire guide base 42 is a member having a lower surface adopted from a rectangular parallelepiped block, an angled block, a metal plate bent at an angle, etc., and side surfaces extending in a direction intersecting the lower surface. The wire guide bases 42 are arranged in a pair symmetrically with respect to the center of the tread plate 41, and the lower surfaces are fixed to the surface of the tread plate 41 with screws or the like. Further, two rotation axis holes 42a are formed at two positions spaced apart on the side surfaces of each wire guide base 42. As a result, two sets of facing rotation axis holes 42a can be formed as a pair of wire guide bases 42. The two lines connecting the centers of the facing rotation axis holes 42a are parallel to each other and have a constant distance from the surface of the tread plate 41.

[0028] The wire guide 43 is a member formed by bending or cutting a long rectangular metal or resin material plate, and is generally in a semi-frame shape. Any material can be adopted for the wire guide 43, but preferably a light alloy material, particularly an aluminum material (e.g., A5052), is adopted, which is excellent in terms of cost, strength, and workability. The wire guide 43 has through holes formed at both ends, and is arranged to bridge the space between the rotation shaft holes 42a facing each other in the pair of wire guide bases 42. It is rotatably attached around the rotation shaft holes 42a of the wire guide base 42 by screws (not shown) that also serve as bearings passing through the through holes at both ends. A pair of wire guides 43 are arranged corresponding to the two sets of rotation shaft holes 42a of the wire guide base 42. The pair of wire guides 43 arranged in this way are configured to be rotatable between a fallen posture (see Fig. 4(a)) where the part away from both ends, which is the rotation shaft, approaches the surface of the tread plate 41, and a bouncing posture (see Fig. 4(b)) where the part away from both ends moves away from the surface of the tread plate 41. Also, the pair of wire guides 43 arranged in a pair form a substantially planar frame shape as a pair in the fallen posture and can hold the wire 11 with tension applied around it. In the fallen posture, a part of the wire guide 43 protrudes from the periphery of the central part of the tread plate 41. Note that the wire guide 43 may be configured such that the line connecting the centers in the width direction is parallel to the surface of the tread plate 41 in the fallen posture, but it is preferably configured to be slightly inclined in a direction approaching the surface as it moves away from both ends. The wire guide 43 has a groove shape on its outer peripheral surface by being bent outward at the center in the width direction at the intermediate part. The groove shape formed around the wire guide 43 corresponds to the outer diameter of the wire 11 and is recessed so that the wire 11 can fit into it.

[0029] The wire guide actuating force adjustment base 44 is a member having a lower surface adopted from a rectangular parallelepiped block, an angular block, a metal plate bent in an angular shape, etc., and a side surface extending in a direction intersecting the lower surface. The wire guide actuating force adjustment base 44 is arranged in a pair symmetrically with respect to the center of the tread plate 41 at a position shifted by 90° in plan view from the pair of wire guide bases 42, and the lower surface is fixed to the surface of the tread plate 41 with screws or the like. Further, on the side surface of each wire guide actuating force adjustment base 44, a through hole corresponding to the upper surface position of the wire guide 43 in the fallen posture is formed as a wire guide actuating force adjustment member installation portion for installing the wire guide actuating force adjustment member 45 described later. Since this wire guide actuating force adjustment member installation portion can adjust the actuating force by which the wire guide 43 changes from the fallen posture to the bouncing posture by changing the number of installed wire guide actuating force adjustment members 45 described later, it is preferably formed by a plurality of through holes (for example, in FIG. 1, five through holes are formed in the wire guide actuating force adjustment base 44, and the wire guide actuating force adjustment member 45 is installed in three of them to adjust the actuating force.).

[0030] The wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 is an elongated rod-shaped member that bends when a certain load is applied, and is inserted and installed in a through hole formed on the side surface of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44. As a more specific example, the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 is a wooden toothpick, and by being inserted and installed in the through holes on the side surface of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44 respectively, it protrudes above the wire guide 43 in the fallen posture, and can suppress the force received from the wire guide 43 to a predetermined magnitude, and adjusts the actuating force for the wire guide 43 to change to the bouncing posture according to the number of pieces installed. That is, when the number of the wire guide actuating force adjusting members 45 installed is increased, when the wire guide 43 changes from the fallen posture to the bouncing posture, a greater force is required to bend the toothpick as the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45. In addition, in the through hole formed on the side surface of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44, instead of the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45, as a safety measure to prevent the wire guide 43 from changing from the fallen posture to the bouncing posture when carrying the noose trap 1, etc., an elongated rod-shaped member made of metal may be inserted and installed.

[0031] The moving body side connecting portion 46 is a through hole provided at a position close to the outer peripheral edge of the tread plate 41. The moving body side connecting portion 46 enables the connecting tool 50 to be connected by having the other end of the connecting tool 50 described later tied thereto. Regarding the moving body side connecting portion, as long as the connecting tool can be connected, in addition to the through hole, various forms such as protrusions, screw holes, clips, etc. can be adopted as appropriate.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, the connector 50 mainly consists of a long and flexible connecting member 51 that connects the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 (it may be other parts except the wire guide 43, but in the embodiment, it is the tread plate 41). The connecting member 51 is long and not easily breakable to a certain extent, and it may be in the form of a string or chain that can be freely bent or curved as a whole. For example, a string, a thread tag, and a thin wire are recommended. Also, for the connector 50, one end of the connecting member 51 is connected to the fixed frame side connecting portion 33 of the fixed frame 31 by tying, and the other end of the connecting member 51 is connected to the moving body side connecting portion 46 of the moving body 40 (tread plate 41) by tying, thereby connecting the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40. Note that the connecting member 51 may be directly connected to the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 in this way, but for example, a connecting member such as a clip may be attached to the tip, and it may be connected to the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 via the connecting member.

[0033] Also, the connector 50 may have a relay coupling portion that is separably coupled at an intermediate position. That is, a configuration in which a plurality of divided connecting members 51 are separably connected by the relay coupling portion may be adopted.

[0034] Also, the connector 50 may further have a long and flexible string member that can connect one end at an intermediate position of the connecting member 51. That is, the connecting member 51 extends from the fixed frame 31, branches into two in the middle, one extends as an extension of the connecting member 51 and is connected to the moving body 40, and the other extends as a string member, and its terminal end is an open end. Thus, a configuration in which the open end can be tied to a pile or the like during use may be adopted.

[0035] When the noose 1 configured as described above is in use, the moving body 40 is supported by a tread support member 32 prepared as a consumable on the surface opposite to the side where the wire guide 43 of the tread 41 is attached, and is placed above the inside of the fixed frame 31. It is installed at the site in the form of a preparation stage where the moving body 40 is placed on the upper part of the fixed-side main body 30 with the wire guide 43 in a fallen posture as shown in Fig. 4(a). Then, when a force is applied to the tread 41 from above, the tread support member 32 breaks, the moving body 40 moves downward with respect to the fixed-side main body 30, and the form changes to the form of an operation stage where most of the moving body 40 enters the inside of the fixed-side main body 30 with the wire guide 43 in a bouncing posture as shown in Fig. 4(b).

[0036] More specifically, in the preparation stage, the noose 1, as shown in Fig. 4(a), takes a form of holding the wire 11 in a substantially planar frame shape as a pair with the wire guide 43 in a fallen posture and with tension applied around it. Also, in the preparation stage, the toothpick as the tread support member 32 is inserted into a plurality of through holes on the side surface of the fixed frame 31, and the toothpick as the wire guide operating force adjusting member 45 is inserted into the through hole of the wire guide operating force adjusting base 44, and the tread 41 is placed on the tread support member 32 protruding inside the fixed frame 31. Thus, in the preparation stage, the noose 1 is in a form where the moving body 40 is placed on the upper part of the fixed-side main body 30 and the wire guide 43 is positioned above the fixed frame 31. When the noose 1 in the preparation stage is carried, a metal rod is inserted into the through hole of the wire guide operating force adjusting base 44 to take safety measures so that the wire guide 43 does not move to a bouncing posture. The metal rod inserted into the through hole of the wire guide operating force adjusting base 44 when it is carried is removed during the hunting of wild animal N.

[0037] In the actuating stage, the noose 1 takes the form that, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the toothpick as the pedal support member 32 breaks and the toothpick as the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 breaks, and the pedal 41 drops into the fixed frame 31. In the actuating stage, the noose 1 takes the form that the central part of the wire guide 43 contacts the upper end of the fixed frame 31, and both ends enter the fixed frame 31 as the pedal 41 drops. That is, in the noose 1 in the actuating stage, compared with the preparation stage, the central part of the wire guide 43 that contacts the fixed frame 31 around the attachment part to the wire guide base 42 rotates upward. In the noose 1 in the actuating stage, with this change in the form of the wire guide 43, the wire 11 is no longer held by the wire guide 43, so it jumps upward above the wire guide 43 and the loop size of the noose ring 11b becomes smaller due to the tension of the wire spring 15.

[0038] (Usage method of the noose 1) Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the capture of the wild animal N using the noose 1 according to the embodiment. Note that Fig. 5(a) shows the state where the noose 1 is installed and waiting for the wild animal N to get caught. Fig. 5(b) shows the state where the wild animal N gets caught and the noose 1 actuates.

[0039] First, the user prepares the noose 1 (see Fig. 4(a)) in the preparation stage. Specifically, the user places the wire guide 43 in the fallen position, inserts toothpicks as the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 into the through holes of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44 according to the weight and wariness of the wild animal N to be captured, etc., and adjusts the actuating force of the wire guide 43. Also, as a precaution against malfunction, a metal rod is inserted into one of the through holes of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44. Then, the noose ring 11b of the wire 11 is fastened around the wire guide 43 to apply a tension to tighten the wire 11. Thereby, the wire device 10 and the moving body 40, which are connected to both ends of the coupler 50 (connecting member 51), are brought into direct contact. Further, the user inserts toothpicks as the pedal support member 32 into a plurality of through holes on the side surface of the fixed frame 31 to place or enable the placement of the moving body 40.

[0040] Next, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the user installs the noose 1 in the preparation stage at the setting place. Specifically, the user digs a hole at the setting place and places the fixed-side main body 30 with the moving body 40 placed thereon into the hole with the moving body 40 and the fixed-side main body 30 connected to both ends of the coupler 50 (connecting member 51), or after placing the fixed-side main body 30 into the hole, places the moving body 40 on the fixed-side main body 30 with the moving body 40 and the fixed-side main body 30 connected to both ends of the coupler 50 (connecting member 51). Before installing the noose main body 20 at the setting place or after putting the noose main body 20 into the hole, the user carefully removes the metal rod inserted into the through hole of the wire guide actuating force adjusting base 44 so as not to give a shock to the wire guide 43. Then, the user covers the noose main body 20 with fallen leaves, etc., and fills the hole for installation. At this time, it is preferable for the user to pay attention to making the place where the noose main body 20 is buried blend in with the surroundings. Thus, the user installs the noose 1 in a state where the pedal 41 changes to the operating stage when stepped on by the wild animal N and waits for the wild animal N to be caught.

[0041] When the wild animal N approaches the noose trap 1 set up in this way, as shown in Fig. 5(b), it steps on the tread board 41. Then, the noose trap 1 is pushed by the tread board 41, and the toothpick acting as the tread board support member 32 breaks. When the central part of the wire guide 43 is about to be lifted onto the upper surface of the fixed frame 31, the toothpick acting as the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 that presses the upper surface of the wire guide 43 breaks, and the noose trap 1 (see Fig. 4(b)) begins to change into the form in the operating stage. When the noose trap 1 changes to the operating stage, as described above, the wire 11 that has come off the wire guide 43 while being bounced up has its loop size of the noose 11b reduced by the tension applied. As a result, the noose trap 1 captures the wild animal N by the wire 11 binding the foot of the wild animal N.

[0042] As described above, when the wire guide 43 starts to change from the fallen posture in the preparation stage to the bounced-up posture in the operating stage, the toothpicks acting as the tread board support member 32 and the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 break due to the force of the wild animal N stepping on the tread board 41. That is, the user can set the strength of the force with which the wild animal N steps when the noose trap operates by the number of toothpicks installed as the tread board support member 32 and the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45. The wild animal N is highly vigilant and will feel a sense of discomfort and pull back the stepped-in foot if the tread board 41 sinks with a lighter force compared to the surrounding ground. Therefore, even when the noose trap 1 operates, there is a risk that the wild animal N will pull back its foot and make a futile movement. So, the user adjusts the number of toothpicks installed as the tread board support member 32 and the wire guide actuating force adjusting member 45 so that the tread board 41 does not sink extremely easily according to the firmness of the surrounding ground, and it is preferable to adjust the actuating force of the wire guide 43 so that the wild animal N can step on the tread board 41 with confidence. Thus, adjusting the actuating force of the wire guide 43 is related to the capture rate of the wild animal N.

[0043] When the wild animal N is captured, the user restrains the wild animal N with a rope or the like so that it cannot move freely, then removes the wire 11 from the leg of the wild animal N, and retrieves the wire device 10. Further, the user retrieves the fixed-side main body 30 (fixed frame 31) and the moving body 40. In many cases, although the moving body 40 is on the ground surface, the fixed frame 31 is buried in the ground and difficult to find. In such a case, first, if the moving body 40 is found and the connecting tool 50 connected to the moving body 40 is pulled in, the fixed frame 31 can be easily found.

[0044] (Function and Effect)

[0045] The noose trap 1 includes a frame-shaped fixed frame 31, a pedal 41 with an outer contour shape that can move inside the fixed frame 31, and a pair of wire guides 43 attached to the pedal 41, each having a semi-frame shape and being rotatable between a fallen posture and a spring-up posture with both ends as rotation axes. In the fallen posture, the wire guides 43 can hold a pair of wires 11 in a frame shape with tension applied around them, and a moving body 40 placed above the fixed frame 31. And this noose trap 1 further includes a connecting tool 50 mainly composed of a long and flexible connecting member 51 that connects the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40. Therefore, even if after capturing the wild animal N, the fixed frame 31 is buried deep in the ground due to being stepped on or kicked away by the wild animal N, or the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 are scattered to separated positions, if either one is found, the other can be found immediately by pulling in the connecting tool 50. As a result, the noose trap 1 becomes a noose trap that is easy to find after capturing the wild animal N.

[0046] In this noose trap 1, the connecting member 51 is preferably a string, a thread tag, or a thin wire with one end connected to the fixed frame 31 and the other end connected to the pedal 41 of the moving body 40. These specific members are excellent in terms of cost and have sufficient performance for on-site use in terms of flexibility, strength, and durability, and are suitable as the connecting member 51 of the noose trap 1.

[0047] Also, in the noose 1, the connecting member 51 may be configured to have a relay coupling portion that is separably coupled at an intermediate position. According to the noose 1 configured in this way, when installing at the site, the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 can be carried separately, or the fixed frame 31 or the moving body 40 can be exchanged between the plurality of nooses 1, respectively, and the convenience can be improved.

[0048] Also, in the noose 1, the connector 50 may be configured to further include a long and flexible string member that can connect one end to an intermediate position of the connecting member 51. According to the noose 1 configured in this way, by tying one end of the string member to, for example, a stake or a standing tree, after capturing the wild animal N, by pulling in the string member tied to the stake or the standing tree, the fixed frame 31 and the moving body 40 can be easily found.

[0049] [Other Forms] As described above, the present invention has been described based on the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof, and for example, the following modifications are also possible.
