Description

l Device for excluding a bat The invention in question concerns an apparatus for facilitating the exclusion of during use a bat from a habitat used by him such as for example, a cavity wall of a building, which configuration comprises a housing which encloses a hollow interior, where the interior space extends between a first opening in the housing for exiting the interior space by bats and a second opening located at a distance from it in the housing for entering the interior space by bats, where the first opening extends into a first plane and the second opening extends into a second right. Such well-known establishments, as a collective name also known as exclusion flaps, are used to a to render the structure unsuitable as a habitat for a bat in preparation for, for example, demolition and renovation work on the structure. The interior is being installed over an opening in the structure, such as for example a butt joint, roof trim or other access to the structure that can be used by bats. A disadvantage of the well-known layouts is that these not suitable for use without modifications for example with a roof trim, because when the If the exit hole is facing downwards, there is no suitable one. is the entrance to the establishment. For this, it is then prescribed to cut off a part on site, such as the top, or to cut to make a third opening that provides access to the interior space provides. This is very labor-intensive and yields Picked up a lot of waste on the spot. It is now a goal of the invention to the aforementioned to reduce the disadvantage or even prevent it entirely. According to the invention, this goal is achieved with a establishment according to the introduction, characterized by the fact that the interior space near the second opening comprises an interior wall which extends between a part of a perimeter edge of the second opening and one situated opposite the second opening wall of the interior space. By providing a guide wall in the hollow interior space connecting to the second opening can the function as exit and entrance of the first and the respectively The second opening can be easily turned over. The first opening can also be used as an opening for entering the interior space and the second opening can then be used for leaving the interior space. This allows the layout also in other orientations, such as upside down, for example, can be used without a third opening being made needs to be. The guide wall helps from the hollow interior space towards the second opening in the second plane come. The second plane is a different plane than the first plane. In the arrangement according to the invention, therefore, the first and second opening, depending on the placement, for the entering or leaving the interior space. According to the invention as well, there is an embodiment. of a device where the housing is elongated and the The first opening has been made in an end of the housing By using an elongated housing, is also easily obtained an elongated hollow interior space as connection between the first opening and the second opening. A elongated connection is effective for the exclusion function, because a bat must this connection bridge to get from the second opening to the first opening come. The housing can be, for example, box-shaped or tubular. are. In and another form of implementation of an establishment according to the invention, the second opening is made in a longitudinal wall extending between the end sections of the housing As a result, the first and the second are directly below. at a large angle relative to each other. Preferably, this is angle approximately right angle. This results in two essentially different planes with respect to which the different placement options can be selected. Also a form of implementation of an installation according to the invention is a device in which a perpendicular to the second plane in the second opening measured distance from the second plane to the guide wall at a first distance to the first opening is smaller than a plane perpendicular to the second plane in the second opening measured distance from the second plane to the guide wall at a second distance, smaller than the first until the first opening. As a result, the guide wall is to the first opening directed, so that it from the interior space and coming from the first opening an angled guide to the second opening forms. In a preferred design form of a facility according to the invention, the one perpendicular to the second plane in the second opening measured distance from the second plane to the guide wall gradually increases between the first and second distance until the first opening. Due to a gradual progression, such as, for example, a For a sloping wall or a curved wall, the guide wall offers a solution. no gripping options for a bat. According to the invention as well, there is an embodiment. of an interior where the surface texture of the walls the interior space offers no grip for a bat. When the walls of the interior space are sufficiently smooth are and free of ledges and the like, a bat can in the interior space not set itself against the walls to the to walk through the facility in the wrong direction. Yet another form of an arrangement according to the invention, is a device in which the interior space is dimensioned for the flying inside by preventing a bat. The effectiveness of the layout is greatly increased enlarged if a bat cannot enter the hollow interior fly. The interior space can for this purpose, for example, in have a cross-sectional area with a main dimension of approximately 35 cm. The Most bat species can get through such a give way, but cannot fly in. Also a form of implementation of an installation according to the invention, the device is manufactured from a formed sheet material such as PET, where on both sides of the first opening parallel hinge lines are provided for folding from a flat shape for the shapes of the hollow interior. By manufacturing the fixture from formed sheet material which by means of hinge lines from a flat shape can be folded closed, the device can easily mounted in the open position on, for example, a wall be and then folded or snapped shut for the forms of the hollow interior space. Preferably, the flat-form layout nested stackable, allowing large quantities thereof can be carried very compactly. These and other characteristics of the invention are further explained using the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first implementation of an installation according to the invention. Figure 2 shows a side view of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention in flat shape Figure 3 shows a top view of the second flat design. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of an establishment 1 according to the invention shown. The elongated housing 2 encloses a hollow interior space 3. The interior space 3 extends between the first opening 4 and the second opening 5. Through the second opening 5 a curved guide wall 6 is visible which is extends between a part of the perimeter edge 7 of the second opening 5 and one situated opposite the second opening 5 interior wall The first opening 4 has been made in an end piece. end 8 of the housing 2. The second opening 5 is installed in a longitudinal wall 9 of the housing 2. The first and the second plane are located in the shown design perpendicular to each other. The longitudinal wall 9 and the second opening 5 that is made therein lie in the second plane. It is clearly visible that a perpendicular to the second plane in the second opening 5 measured distance from the second plane to the guide wall 6 at a first distance 11 until the first opening 4 is smaller than when this distance closer to the first opening 4 is measured, on a second distance 12 to the first opening. On either side of the housing 2 are flanges 10 provided. The flanges 10 form part of the closure of the both halves in the folded position. The housing 2 can be easily attached by a fastener through the flange 10 into a surface to take. In figures 2 and 3, a side view is shown. respectively a top view of a second embodiment of a device 21 according to the invention shown in flat form. The elongated housing 22 becomes formed by two halves on either side of the first opening 24 be coupled by means of a hinge line 31. When the housing 22 is closed, a hollow forms interior space 23 between the first opening 24 and the second opening 25. In Figure 2, the guide wall is 26 and the curvature clearly recognizable of it. The end 32 of the guide wall 26 connects to a part of the perimeter edge 27, For this, see figure 3 of the second opening 25. At the other end 33 of the guide wall 26 connects this to the part of the located opposite the second opening 25 interior wall 34. On either side of the housing 22 are again the 30 flanges provided.
