Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electric insect repellent device attached to storage furniture, sink cabinets, tables, etc. installed in kitchens, dining rooms, food storage rooms, etc.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, furniture for kitchens and the like is easily invaded by pests such as cockroaches, so insect repellents are used, or insect-proof pads are installed at the contact area between the opening and the door. . Although the above described insect traps are somewhat effective because they are placed in the path of pests, they cannot prevent all pests from invading furniture. In addition, those using packing may leave small gaps due to deterioration over time, and on the other hand, cockroaches and the like can invade even if there is a small gap in the INM, so it cannot be said to be a complete pest control method.

By the way, as an insect repellent device, one shown in FIG. 1 is known. This insect repellent device includes an insulating base material 1, a pair of electrode strips 3 and 4 arranged in parallel on its surface with a small interval 2, and a voltage of about 10 to 30 volts applied to the electrode strips 3 and 4. It consists of 5 dry batteries.

It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. When the insect 6 tries to climb the wall and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the 3゜4 surface of the electrode band, a voltage is applied to the insect 6, and the insect 6 receives a severe electric shock and flies away. It falls downward as if bouncing. Unfortunately, the insects 6 are unable to advance beyond the insect repellent device. Therefore,
Such a device can prevent the invasion of pests.

The present inventors have considered combining the electric shock type insect repellent device with furniture. Usually, an electric shock electrode strip, which is the main element of an insect repellent device, is placed around the entire rim of the opening of storage furniture, around the outer edge of a door, or even along the outer edge of a table. However, in order to arrange the straight rod-shaped electrode strips 3 and 4 as shown in FIG. electrode strips 3, 4 must be connected at their strips. However, since the electrode strips 3 and 4 have the same shape, there is a risk that, for example, the electrode strip 3 on the positive side and the electrode strip 4 on the negative side may be connected incorrectly.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric shock insect repellent device that prevents erroneous connection when installing the electrode strip of the insect repellent device on furniture. .

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes at least a pair of electrode bands for electric shock, each having a slightly different cross-sectional shape, arranged in parallel on an insulating substrate with a small gap between them. This is an electric shock type insect repellent device equipped with a power supply device that applies a low voltage to the pair of electrode bands. It is possible to identify which electrode strips should be connected to each other, and no erroneous connections occur.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes a long insulating substrate, on the upper surface of which a pair of electrode bands 9, 1o are arranged substantially parallel with a small gap 11 sufficient for pests to straddle between them.

Among the pair of electrode bands 9, 10, one 9 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the other 10 has a triangular cross-section. The electrode bands 9 and 10 have one side surface exposed and have a cross-sectional shape at the end of the insulating substrate 8. Reference numeral 12 in the figure is a power supply device such as a dry battery that applies a low voltage to the electrode bands 9 and 10.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, four sets of the above configuration are arranged at the edge of the opening of furniture, and the ends of the electrode strips 9 and 100 are electrically connected, but the cross-sectional shapes of the electrode strips 9 and 10 are different. Therefore, it is possible to identify the electrode strips to be connected to other sets, and there is no possibility of erroneous connections on the positive and negative sides, and the desired electric insect protection can be achieved.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, the electric insect repellent device according to the present invention can clearly identify what should be connected when a plurality of sets of electrode strips are arranged and connected to each other. It is a convenient item and the arrangement of furniture etc. is convenient, and its value is great.
