Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a live insect trap that captures insects that enter and wander indoors alive without harm, releases harmless ones outside, and accommodates harmful ones in a container.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, the mainstream method for dealing with indoor insects is the use of insecticides.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] There were the following problems with that. A When using an insecticide spray indoors, there is a risk of inhaling chemicals harmful to the human body, and the odor of the agent is also a concern. B When spraying an insecticide on bees or stink bugs, etc., they become frantic and sting or emit a bad smell, so it is dangerous. C Even if one was aware of such dangers, took great care, and was lucky enough to kill a bee or stink bug, the remains covered in the excrement of the dying insect and the insecticide had to be disposed of from indoors. D Insects that enter indoors, once killed, are all regarded as garbage, and due to their dirtiness, they are wrapped in various consumables such as tissues, pieces of paper, pieces of cloth, or gum tape, and are taken out as household garbage, contributing to an increase in garbage. E It is said that in recent years, the number of children who are afraid of insects or dislike insects has been increasing, and it is feared that the reason is a lack of opportunities to come into contact with insects. It is also said that this trend will continue as long as adults continue to use insecticides. F Since ancient times, our country has been a "country that loves insects" where people play at catching insects, enjoy the sounds of insects, and keep insects in insect cages. The ancient people who disliked killing also hoped to solve the problem of insects that entered and wandered indoors while keeping them alive, but have reached the modern era without being able to achieve this. And the issue unique to the "country that loves insects," namely coexistence with insects, still remains unsolved. Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] A long box-shaped neck-length container having a diagonal opening, a transparent part for peeking at insects, and a gripping part, and a storage case having an anti-slip part on the lower surface, and the opening is stored in the storage case from the rear. When holding the gripping part and pressing the anti-slip part against the plane of an object, the opening moves forward, stops when pressed against, and moves backward when pulled back. When using this, hold the gripping part, press the anti-slip part of the storage case against a wall or the like to expose the opening to form an insect-catching opening, approach an insect that has stopped on the floor or the like with one hand and half of the body, peek at the insect through the transparent part, and quickly cover the insect-catching opening from directly above the back of the insect in an instant. When pressing and stopping at the lower surface of the storage case, the insect is caught in the insect-catching opening. When slowly pulling back as it is, the insect is pushed against the edge of the opening and is guided into the storage case while struggling, and is stored in the storage case together with the opening without being damaged. If the stored insect is harmless, press it to expose the opening and let it escape outside. If it is harmful, stand the neck-length container upright, give it a thud and vibration to transfer the insect from the storage case to the neck-length container and store it. Eventually, the insect will complete its life and die a natural death, so return it to the soil. Provide a live insect catcher for wandering insects in a room configured so that all of these operations can be performed with only one hand. Effects of the Invention

[0005] Since it is a one-handed operation, one can reach an insect from far away with one arm and half of the body, and it is safe even for dangerous insects. While peeking at the insect, cover the insect-catching opening from directly above the insect all at once, so that the insect can be surely caught. After catching the insect, gently guide the insect slowly, so that the insect can be stored in the storage case without being damaged. Since it does not harm the insect, even in the case of stink bugs, no bad smell will be emitted. Harmless insects to humans can be released outside without becoming garbage by pulling out the insect-catching opening from the storage case. For dangerous insects or cockroaches that one does not want to release outside, stand the container upright, give it a thud and vibration to transfer it to the neck-length container, and wait for natural death and return it to the soil, then the cycle of life can be achieved. When not in use, the insect-catching opening is stored in the storage case, so it is clean. Any wandering insects in the room can be caught and stored regardless of the type. Naturally, beds, walls, ceilings, windows, etc. can capture and store insects in curtains and clothes as long as they are flat. As described above, the present invention is a tool for capturing insects wandering indoors without harm and living a clean and comfortable life. On the other hand, it can also be said to be a toy for "insect catching play" in which it interacts with insects and guides them into the storage case. Moreover, this "insect catching play" is not a virtual game without substance, but a real game experienced through vision, hearing, smell, and touch, so it should be interesting. However, that's not all. Children can deeply understand nature and grow through "insect catching play". Also, for adults exposed to the stress of urban life and human relationships, interacting with living things is reassuring.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. It includes a long box-shaped necked container 5 having an oblique opening 1, a transparent part 2 for peeking at insects, and a grip part 4, and a storage case 7 having a non-slip part 6 on the bottom surface. The opening 1 is stored in the storage case 7 from the rear. When holding the grip part 4 and pressing the non-slip part 6 of the storage case 7 against a flat surface of an object, the opening 1 moves forward, stops when pressed, and moves backward when pulled. The oblique angle of the opening 1 in the prototype is set at 45 degrees assuming an insect on the wall and considering the range of motion of the wrist. When using it on the floor or ceiling, it is more convenient to have a longer neck for the necked container 5, but it becomes difficult to peek through the transparent part 2, so it is better to reduce the oblique angle of the opening 1. It is also possible to divide the neck of the necked container 5 into two and use it in a plug-in manner like head replacement according to the application. The non-slip part 6 uses any one of non-slip tape, non-slip painting, and non-slip processing. The transparent part 2 uses transparent plastic only when the necked container 5 is opaque. The invention of the present application is configured as described above. When using this device, hold the grip portion 4 and press the anti-slip portion 6 of the storage case 7 against a wall or the like to expose the opening 1 and form the insect-catching opening 3. Approach an insect that has stopped on the floor or the like with one hand and half of the body. While looking at the insect through the transparent portion 2, quickly cover the insect-catching opening 3 from directly above the back of the insect in an instant, and hold it against the lower surface of the storage case 7. Then the insect will be caught inside the insect-catching opening 3. If you slowly pull it back while holding it like this, the insect will be pushed against the edge of the opening 1 and be guided into the storage case 7 while struggling, and will be stored in the storage case 7 together with the opening 1 without being damaged. If the stored insect is harmless, press and expose the opening 1 to let it escape outside. If it is harmful, stand up the long-necked container 5, give it a strong shake, and transfer the insect from the storage case 7 to the long-necked container 5 for storage. Eventually, the insect will die of natural causes, so return it to the soil. This is a live insect trap for indoor use that is configured to be able to perform all of these operations with only one hand.
