[Figure 7] FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an example of the operation of a typical animal trap. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples. EXAMPLES

[0013] An example of the operation of a typical animal trap will be described with reference to Figures 7(a), (b) and (c).

[0014] In order to capture animals (wild boars, deer, etc.), the general practice is to find animal trails, dig holes in the ground following the animal's footprints, and bury traps.

[0015] Fig. 7(a) is an example of a pitfall. Pipe 101 is the side of the pitfall. Lid 103 is the lid of the pitfall. Wire 105 is a wire that surrounds lid 103. Spring 107 is a spring that expands to narrow wire 105.

[0016] 7(b) shows a state where the animal's foot 109 has fallen into the pit. When the lid portion 103 falls due to the animal's foot 109, the spring portion 107 expands and the wire 105 tightens.

[0017] 7(c) shows a state where the foot 109 of the animal is caught. The spring portion 107 of the wire 105 is sufficiently stretched, and can catch the foot 109 of the animal.

[0018] If the wire 105 only gets caught around the toes of the animal's feet 109, the animal will cut its foot and escape. Therefore, when digging a pitfall, it is desirable to dig it deep enough so that the animal's ankle or higher will be caught in the trap. However, wild boars in particular have a sensitive sense of smell and are adept at detecting pitfalls, so making the pitfall deeper increases the risk that the wild boar will notice. Also, animal trails in the mountains are filled with stones and tree roots, making it difficult to dig a deep pitfall. Therefore, it is difficult to dig a deep pitfall on an animal trail.

[0019] The Kasamatsu trap described in Patent Document 1 is one of the traps that solves this problem. Two wings that hang over wire 105 are provided facing each other on lid 103, and when an animal's foot 109 falls, the wings spring up to pinch the animal's foot 109, and wire 105 is placed above lid 103 so that wire 105 hangs over the animal's foot 109 at a position higher than the ankle. Note that although the wings operate to pinch the animal's foot 109, this is different from a tiger trap.

[0020] In Kasamatsu traps, the wings are generally made of metal and have a groove on the outside for hanging the wire. This requires metal processing. Also, the wings are often circular to match the shape of the pitfall, which makes it time-consuming to hang the wire. Furthermore, the wings are attached directly to the lid 103 by fastening the flat surface with screws. This causes the two wings to interfere with each other, and even if one wing jumps up, the other does not jump up sufficiently. Also, the wing can become stiff due to the way it is fastened, or become sluggish due to soil getting caught in it, or become stuck due to rain or snow.

[0021] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a trapping device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) shows the entire trapping device 1, which plays the same role as the lid of a Kasamatsu trap.

[0022] The trapping device 1 comprises a base 3 and blades 91 and 92. The blades 91 and 92 are formed of plastic mouldings with grooves and metal filling, with electrical insulation. They are moulded in a rectangular shape with the grooves facing outwards.

[0023] The base 3 has two fixing portions 51 and 52 and two hook portions 131 and 132.

[0024] Connecting members 111 and 112 are attached to both ends of the blade portion 91 by mounting portions 121 and 122. The holding portions 71 and 72 fasten the connecting members 111 and 112 attached to both ends of the blade portion 91 to the fixing portions 51 and 52 with screws and hold them in a rotatable state.

[0025] Connecting members 113 and 114 are attached to both ends of the blade portion 92 by mounting portions 123 and 124. The holding portions 73 and 74 fasten the connecting members 113 and 114 attached to both ends of the blade portion 92 to the fixing portions 51 and 52 with screws and hold them in a rotatable state.

[0026] The hooks 131 and 132 hook onto the open springs 91 and 92, respectively, to prevent the springs 91 and 92 from rising when the wire is being strung.

[0027] Fig. 1(b) is an enlarged view of the portion in Fig. 1(a) that holds the blades 91 and 92 on the base 3 in a rotatable state. The connecting members 111 and 113 are annular at the portions where the blades 91 and 92 are extended, and this holds the blades 91 and 92 in a rotatable state without interference. The connecting members 111 and 113 also extend outside the blades 91 and 92, enabling them to hold wires hung outside the blades 91 and 92. The same is true for the connecting members 112 and 114.

[0028] FIG. 2( a ) shows the pipe portion 15 .

[0029] FIG. 2(b) shows the trapping device 1 placed on the pipe section 15.

[0030] Fig. 2(c) is a diagram for explaining the position of the wire hung around the trapping device 1 placed on the pipe section 15. The wire 17 is for tightening the legs of the trapped animal by a spring or the like, as in the case of Fig. 7.

[0031] The wire 17 is hung on the outside of the blades 91 and 92. The blades 91 and 92 are covered with grooves inside, and the wire 17 can be inserted into the grooves. Also, by placing the connecting members 111, 112, 113, and 114 on the parts of the blades 91 and 92 that extend outward, the wire 17 can be hung without dropping below the trapping device 1, and the wire 17 is outside when the blades 91 and 92 rotate, and the movement is not hindered.

[0032] When the wire 17 is hung, the hooking portions 131 and 132 are rotated to release the spring portions 91 and 92 from the hooking state.

[0033] Fig. 3(a) shows the trapping device 1 in a dropped state. The base 3 of the pipe section 15 drops, but the wings 91 and 92 spring upward. This allows the wire 17 to be caught above the legs of the animal. Also, the connecting members 113 and 114 allow the wings 91 and 92 to stand vertically without interfering with each other.

[0034] Fig. 3(b) is a diagram for explaining the installation work again. It shows the state in which the blades 91 and 92 are opened from the state in Fig. 3(a). If the hooking parts 131 and 132 are rotated to hook the blades 91 and 92, it will be in the state in Fig. 1(a). If it is placed on the pipe part 15, it will be in the state in Fig. 2(b).

[0035] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a state in which connecting members 231 and 232 are attached to both ends of the blade portion 21 by attachment portions 251 and 252. As shown in FIG.

[0036] The blade 21 is made of a plastic molded product with metal inside, as shown in Figure 4(b). This is called a vinyl iron rail, and is the component that will become the rail for the sliding door. It has a groove formed in it, and is molded into a rectangular shape with the groove facing outward. Then, as shown in Figure 4(c), an electrical covering is placed over it so that a wire can be inserted into it.

[0037] In addition, plastic molded products may become lighter, but as in the past, a toothpick or the like can be used to prevent the lid from falling off or the operating load can be adjusted.

[0038] 5 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the connection member. The connection member includes a blade attachment portion 31 for attachment to the blade, a base attachment portion 33 for rotatably attaching to the base at one end of the blade attachment portion 31, and a wire holding portion 35 for holding the wire outside the blade at the other end of the blade attachment portion 31.

[0039] In the example of FIG. 5, the wire is realized by a rod-shaped metal with a circular cross section. The cross section may be either a circle or an ellipse. One end is bent into an annular shape as the base mounting part 33, which prevents interference of movement between the blades. Also, by rounding the tip and making the sliding part a surface contact, the blade can be smoothly lifted up even if the screw is firmly attached, soil is caught, or it rains. The other end is bent toward the outside of the blade and then bent further upward, giving it a shape that can hold the wire above the base. Because the wire can be held outside the blade, the wire does not hinder the lifting movement of the blade.

[0040] 6 is a diagram showing another example of the configuration of the trap device according to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the hooking portion may be realized by a rod-shaped member. [Explanation of symbols]
