Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a capture member holder that holds a capture member so as to maintain the cylindrical shape, and to a nuisance organism trap that uses the capture member holder. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, the conventional traps shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are configured by folding a sheet to present a cylindrical body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5679764 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 3830134 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, conventional traps maintained their shape by being sandwiched between kitchen equipment and a wall, making it difficult for the cylindrical shape to be maintained in an open space with no objects present, meaning that the shape was unstable.

[0005] Furthermore, conventional traps have to be placed flat (i.e., in an open position) when installed in an open area, which poses the following problems. (1) It is common to temporarily fix the trap with tape or other materials to form a box, but this does not look good and the box may collapse, making it impossible to capture nuisance organisms. Therefore, it is unusable. (2) When placed flat, the sticky side coated with the adhesive for capturing nuisance creatures faces upwards. This means that there is a risk that objects may be accidentally dropped onto the sticky surface, and that people may accidentally step on the sticky surface and the trap may stick to the soles of their feet. Furthermore, if a nuisance creature is captured, its pitiful state will be visible.

[0006] To provide a capture member holder that can maintain the shape of a cylindrical body and also provide a trap that looks good, and to provide an nuisance organism trap that can be installed in various indoor locations without looking out of place and can efficiently capture nuisance organisms. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is a capture element holder that holds a capture element so as to maintain the shape of the cylinder, which is formed by bending both edges of a substantially rectangular plate body so as to butt together, to form a cylinder body with a rectangular cross section, and captures nuisance organisms that have invaded the body, It has an L-shaped configuration including a first surface and a second surface that intersect at a right angle, The first surface has an inwardly facing first folded surface portion at a tip edge thereof, The second surface has an inwardly facing second folded surface portion at a tip edge thereof, The first surface and the second surface are adapted to abut against the outer surface of the capturing member and be fitted onto the capturing member, thereby holding the capturing member. It is characterized by the following.

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention is a trapping member that traps nuisance organisms that have entered a substantially rectangular plate by bending both edges of the plate to form a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section, The capture member holder of the first aspect, A nuisance creature trap comprising: An adhesive for capturing is applied to one surface of the plate constituting the capturing member, the capturing member is configured by folding the plate body with the one surface coated with the adhesive facing inward, The capture member holder holds the capture member by having the inner surfaces of the first surface and the second surface abut against the outer surfaces of the capture member and fitting externally to the capture member. It is characterized by the following. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the capturing member holder of the first aspect of the present invention, the cylindrical shape of the capturing member can be maintained.

[0010] The nuisance creature trap of the second aspect of the present invention has a stable form and good design, so it can be installed in various indoor locations without looking out of place. Therefore, nuisance creatures can be captured efficiently. Furthermore, since the adhesive surface is not visible from the outside, the captured nuisance creatures can be prevented from coming into contact with the eyes. Furthermore, since the adhesive surface is located on the inside, not the outside, it is possible to prevent objects from sticking to the adhesive surface if accidentally dropped, and further, it is possible to prevent the trap from sticking to the soles of people's feet if they accidentally step on it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Fig. 1 is a top perspective view showing a nuisance organism trap using a trapping member holder of the present invention. Nuisance organisms include, for example, pests such as small animals like rats and vermin like cockroaches. This nuisance organism trap 10 comprises a trapping member holder 1 and a trapping member 2. The trapping member 2 is held by the holder 1.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the holder 1. FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the holder 1. The holder 1 is made of metal, plastic, wood, or the like. The holder 1 has an L-shaped configuration including a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 that intersect at a right angle. That is, the intersection angle α0 of the intersection 100 between the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 is 90 degrees. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 each have a rectangular shape and are the same size and shape. Furthermore, the holder 1 has an inward-facing first folded surface portion 111 at the leading edge of the first surface 11, and an inward-facing second folded surface portion 121 at the leading edge of the second surface 12. The first folded surface portion 111 and the second folded surface portion 121 each have a rectangular shape and are the same size and shape. The intersection angle α1 of the intersection 110 between the first surface 11 and the first folded surface portion 111 is set to less than 90 degrees, and the intersection angle α2 of the intersection 120 between the second surface 12 and the second folded surface portion 121 is also set to less than 90 degrees.

[0014] An example of specific dimensions of holder 1 is as follows: length L is 100 mm, width W1 of first surface 11 is 87 mm, width W2 of second surface 12 is 87 mm, width W3 of first folded surface portion 111 is 20 mm, width W4 of second folded surface portion 121 is 20 mm, α1 is 87 degrees, and α2 is 87 degrees.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a top perspective view of the capture member 2. The capture member 2 functions as a capture member when it is in the form of a cylinder as shown in FIG. 4. The capture member 2 is composed of a plate 20 as shown in FIG. 5. The plate 20 is preferably made of paper, but may be made of a material other than paper. One side 201 of the plate 20 is coated with an adhesive 3 for capturing nuisance organisms, and therefore the one side 201 forms an adhesive surface. The adhesive 3 is preferably coated over the entire surface or almost the entire surface. The plate 20 has folding lines 211 formed at positions that divide the plate 20 into equal quarters in the width direction (W direction). The folding lines 211 are preferably formed as creases. Then, the plate body 20 is folded at the folding line 211 so that the side 201 coated with the adhesive 3 faces inward and both edges of the plate body 20, i.e., the first edge 221 and the second edge 222, are butted together, thereby forming a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section, i.e., the capture member 2 shown in Figure 4.

[0016] 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. 4. The capture member 2, formed by bending the plate body 20, has the shape of a cylinder with a rectangular cross section (here, a square cross section). However, in the capture member 2, the first edge 221 and the second edge 222 are simply butted together, and therefore tend to separate from each other as shown by arrow A. Therefore, it is difficult for the capture member 2 to maintain its cylindrical shape as is.

[0017] Therefore, in the present invention, the cylindrical shape of the capture member 2 is maintained by holding the capture member 2 with a holder 1, thereby forming an nuisance organism trap 10. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII of Figure 1. In the trap 10, the holder 1 abuts against the two outer surfaces 231, 232 of the capture member 2 and fits over the three corners 241, 242, 243, thereby holding the capture member 2 by fitting over it. Specifically, this is as follows. The inner surface 115 of the first surface 11 abuts against the outer surface 231 of the capturing member 2 . The inner surface 125 of the second surface 12 abuts against the outer surface 232 of the capturing member 2 . The intersecting portion 110 is fitted onto a corner portion 241 formed by the abutted edges 221, 222 of the capturing member 2. The intersection portion 100 is fitted onto the corner portion 242 of the capture member 2 . The intersection portion 120 is fitted onto the corner portion 243 of the capture member 2 .

[0018] In such an nuisance organism trapping device 10, nuisance organisms that have entered the trapping member 2 become unable to escape from the trapping member 2 by adhering to the adhesive 3, and as a result are trapped within the trapping member 2.

[0019] The holder 1 having the above configuration can provide the following effects. (1) Since it can abut against the outer surfaces 231 and 232 and can be fitted onto the three corners 241, 242, and 243, it can be fitted onto the capturing member 2 to hold the capturing member 2, thereby maintaining the cylindrical shape of the capturing member 2.

[0020] (2) Since the intersection angle α1 of the intersection 110 between the first surface 11 and the first folded surface portion 111 is set to less than 90 degrees, when the intersection 110 is fitted onto the corner 241 formed by the butted edges 221, 222 of the capturing member 2, the edges 221, 222 can be effectively prevented from separating from each other. Therefore, the cylindrical shape of the capturing member 2 can be more reliably maintained.

[0021] Furthermore, according to the nuisance organism trapping device 10 having the above-described configuration, the cylindrical shape of the trapping member 2 can be maintained by the holder 1, and therefore the following effects can be achieved. (a) It can be installed in various places indoors, including open areas, which encourages nuisance organisms to enter the capture member 2, thereby enabling the nuisance organisms to be efficiently captured in the capture member 2 by the adhesive 3.

[0022] (b) A good appearance can be maintained. In particular, since the holder 1 has a distinctive design, the design can be improved, and therefore the appearance can be improved. This increases the desire to install it indoors, and it can be installed in an open place.

[0023] (c) The adhesive surface 201 is not visible from the outside, so that the captured nuisance creatures can be prevented from coming into contact with the eyes.

[0024] (d) The adhesive surface 201 is located on the inside, not on the outside, so that if an object is accidentally dropped, it can be prevented from sticking to the adhesive surface.

[0025] (e) The adhesive surface 201 is located on the inside, not the outside, so that the trap 10 can be prevented from sticking to the sole of a person's foot if they accidentally step on it.

[0026] [Variations] (1) The intersection 120 may be fitted onto the corner 241. In this case, the same effect as when the intersection 110 is fitted onto the corner 241 can be achieved.

[0027] (2) The intersection 100 may be fitted onto the corner 241 from the outside.

[0028] (3) One or both of the intersection angles α1 and α2 may be 90 degrees.

[0029] (4) The cylindrical shape of the capturing member 2 may be rectangular in cross section.

[0030] (5) As shown in FIG. 8, the plate 20 may have spacers 261 and 262. The spacers 261 and 262 are provided at symmetrical positions around the center fold line 211. Here, the spacers 261 and 262 have the shape of circular disks. It is desirable to store the plate 20 folded in half at the center fold line 211. However, in this state, the adhesives on the opposing surfaces may adhere to each other, which may cause problems during subsequent use. However, according to the plate 20 of FIG. 8, since the spacers 261 and 262 are included, even when the plate 20 is folded in half, the spacers 261 and 262 abut against each other, as shown in FIG. 9, and a gap 300 is maintained between the opposing surfaces, preventing the adhesives on the opposing surfaces from adhering to each other. This allows the plate 20 to be stored in a good condition.

[0031] (6) The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are not limited to a rectangular shape, and any shape such as a triangle or a circle can be adopted.

[0032] (6) The first folded surface portion 111 and the second folded surface portion 121 are not limited to a rectangular shape, and any other shape such as a triangular shape or a circular shape may be adopted. [Industrial Applicability]

[0033] The nuisance organism trap of the present invention can stably trap nuisance organisms indoors and is therefore of great industrial value. [Explanation of symbols]
