Description

  The present invention relates to a pinch trap type mole trap.

  Mole traps of various structures are known, but the mole trap that is the object of improvement of the present invention has a trap part that is sandwiched in the mole hole (the path of the mole). When passing, the locking flap (contacting body) that holds and holds the capturing part in the open state moves, the locking is released, and the capturing part that is energized by the stroking closes and pinches the mole It is.

  The specific structure is as shown in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-34976, FIG. 4), where the upper part of the vertical shaft is bent in a U-shape and the lower part of the vertical shaft is opposite to the character of the character. Two lower-opening U-shaped operating rods that are curved in the direction of the capture part are opposed to the left and right, and are pivotally connected by a main shaft that passes through the overlapped front and rear bent parts so that the operating rod can be opened and closed freely. The torsion coil spring is attached to the main shaft, and the upper lateral flange portion of the operating rod is biased in the opening direction (clamping direction of the capture portion).

  The locking and unlocking structure (set structure) that performs the pinching operation of the moles rotates the locking flap around the auxiliary shaft that is installed above the catching part (the lower part of the front and rear vertical hooks) of one working rod. A stand-by state where the tip of the work rod, which is movably mounted and connected to the upper horizontal portion of one of the operating rods, is locked to the locking claws of the locking flap across the other upper horizontal portion In the (set state), the latch is released by the contact of the mole with the latching flap, the catching portion is closed by the urging force of the ridge, and the mole is sandwiched.

  In order to shift the instrument to the captureable state (set state), it is necessary to close the upper side of the operating rod, but the biasing force of the torsion coil spring is strong, and the upper side of the upper side is directly closed. Because it is difficult, the base of the operating rod is pivotally connected to the main shaft, and the upper horizontal rod is closed by pushing the upper horizontal rod with the operating rod. Is engaged).

FIG. 4 of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-34976.

  By the way, the mole trap has a straight round bar shape, and the left and right control rods are spread about 180 degrees at the start of setting (before the operation for shifting to the locked state). Operate the control rod in the closing direction, hold the left and right operation rods with one hand and engage the tip of the tackle with the other hand immediately before the final setting state (the tip of the handle rod can be locked to the locking claw). It locks to the pawl.

  However, as described above, since the operation rod is in the shape of a straight round bar, the opening angle of the left and right operation rods is large even in the final set state as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, and it is very difficult to hold with one hand. In addition, a strong gripping force is required to hold the operating rod short so that it is easy to hold.

  Therefore, the present invention proposes a mole trap with a very simple improvement and improved operability of the instrument.

  The mole trapping device according to the present invention has a lower-opening U-shaped operating rod that is bent in the shape of a dogleg at the upper part of the vertical gutter and the lower part of the vertical gutter is bent in the opposite direction to the letter C. The two actuating rods are formed to be openable and closable by being pivoted by two main shafts penetrating the left and right bent portions and penetrating the front and rear bent portions, and a ridge for urging the left and right upper lateral ribs in the opening direction is attached. And a set mechanism that maintains the capture unit open state and is unlocked by the action of a contact body provided in the vicinity of the capture unit. The base unit is pivotally connected to the main shaft, and the front part is connected to the left and right sides of the opposing operating rod. In a mole trap that is provided with an operating rod that protrudes outward and pushes the upper recumbent portion in the closing direction to operate, it is 15 to 30 degrees near the outside of the contact point with the upper recumbent portion of the operating reed. It is characterized by being bent in the closing direction.

  Thus, when the operating rod is operated in the direction in which the upper horizontal lid closes, the left and right operating rods are closer to each other than the conventional linear operating rod, and can be easily grasped with one hand. This makes it easier to maintain the settable state and makes it easier to operate the set mechanism with the free hand.

  The configuration of the present invention is as described above, and the operability of the mole trap that requires a strong force to be in a set state is greatly improved by a simple improvement that the operation rod is bent.

1 is an overall perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference diagram showing the same operation state (at the start of setting). Reference diagram showing the same operating state (at the end of setting).

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The mole trap shown in the embodiment has the same basic structure as before, with two actuating rods 1 and 2, an actuating biasing mechanism 3, a set mechanism 4 and an operating rod 5 for setting operation. Composed.

  Each of the operating rods 1 and 2 has a U-shaped lower opening, the upper vertical portions 11 and 21 of the vertical rod are bent in a U-shape, and the lower vertical portion of the vertical rod is bent in the opposite direction to the U-shaped, 22.

  The actuating mechanism 3 is configured so that the two actuating rods 1 and 2 are opposed to each other on the left and right sides, and the overlapped front and rear bent portions are pivoted by a main shaft 31 so that the actuating rods 1 and 2 can be opened and closed. At the same time, a torsion coil spring 32 is attached to the main shaft 31, and the tip of the torsion coil spring 32 is hooked and connected to the upper horizontal flange portions 13 and 23 of the operating rods 1 and 2, so The collar parts 13 and 23 are urged in the opening direction (the clamping direction of the capturing parts 12 and 22).

  The set mechanism 4 (the locking and unlocking structure for performing the pinching operation of the mole) is composed of a sub-shaft 41, a locking flap (contact body) 42, and an in-process hook 43. It is installed at an upper position in the capture portion (lower vertical rod lower portion) 12 of the operating rod 1 on the outer side in the front-rear direction. It acts as a dynamic stopper.

  The locking flap 42 is pivotally mounted on the auxiliary shaft 41 so as to protrude upward in the space of the opposing capture portions 12 and 22 in the horizontal position and out of the space of the capture portions 12 and 22. A locking claw 421 is attached to the tip that protrudes from the top.

  The tackle 43 is connected to the other actuating rod 2 and has a base that can be bent at an appropriate position as a double ring 431. The tip is engaged with the locking claw 421 in the set state described later. It is provided with a length that can be stopped.

  The operating rod 5 has a base portion rotatably connected to the main shaft 31 and is provided so that the upper horizontal flange portions 13 and 23 of the operating rods 1 and 2 can be pushed out in a closing direction (a direction against the urging force). In particular, it is bent in the closing direction by 15 to 30 degrees (preferably 20 to 25 degrees) in the vicinity of the outside of the contact point with the upper lateral ribs 13 and 23.

  Thus, the above-mentioned mole trap is set in a predetermined state and then buried in a mole hole (mole path) to capture moles that are harmful to the field. 2, the operating rod 5 is narrowed down in the direction in which the upper horizontal collar portions 13 and 23 are closed, and the approaching rod 5 is grasped with one hand, and the in-progress rod 43 is moved with the free hand. The upper side flange 13 of the operating rod 1 is straddled and the tip thereof is locked to the locking claw 421 of the locking flap 42. In this locked state (set state), the open state of the capture portions 12 and 22 is maintained.

  In the present invention, in particular, compared with the operation rod (two-dot chain line in FIG. 3) a, the operation rod 5 is closer, and can be easily grasped with one hand as apparent in FIG. The set operation is remarkably easy.

  And when it embeds in a predetermined place in the ground in the set state, and the mole passes through the capture parts 12 and 22 surrounding space, it touches the locking flap 42 (b →), the locking flap 42 rotates (c →), The latching claw 421 and the tackle 5 are unlocked (d →), the catching portions 12 and 22 are closed by a strong biasing force, and the mole is pinched.
