Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect repellent device attached to a structure having an opening, such as a kitchen furniture 9 or a food storage room.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, structures with openings of this type, such as kitchen furniture, are easily invaded by pests such as cockroaches, and insect traps are used or insect repellents are placed at the contact area between the opening and the door. A patch is provided. Although the insect traps are somewhat effective because they are placed in the path of pests, they cannot prevent all pests from entering the kitchen furniture. Also, those that use seals may develop slight gaps due to aging, while cockroaches, etc.
It cannot be said to be a perfect means of preventing insects because insects can invade even if there is a gap of 1.

By the way, the insect repellent shown in FIG. 6 is known. This insect repellent includes an insulating base material 1, a pair of band-shaped electrode bodies 3 and 4 arranged in parallel on the upper surface thereof with a gap 2,
A power source 6 such as a dry battery is provided to apply a low voltage of about 10 to 30 volts to the electrode body 3.4.

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 move along the floor and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the 3゜4 surface of the electrode body, a voltage is applied to the insect 6, and the insect 6 receives a severe electric shock and flies away. It falls downward like this. Therefore, the insects 6 cannot advance beyond the insect repellent. Therefore, such an insect repellent can prevent the invasion of pests.

The present inventors have considered combining the electric shock type insect repellent with furniture and the like. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the electric insect repellent 10 is attached to the edge 9 of the opening 8 of the storage cabinet 7, for example. By the way, since the pair of electrode bodies 3 and 4 form an insulating gap 12 on the inner surface of the opening edge 11 as shown in FIG. This causes problems such as a voltage drop in the power source 6 and wasteful battery consumption, resulting in a decline in the insect repellent function.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes into account the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an insect repellent device that prevents short circuits between a pair of electrode bodies and that can always effectively perform an insect repellent function.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a structure in which a pair of electric shock electrode bodies are provided on the rim of the opening of a structure having an opening, and one electrode body is provided on the rim of the opening. Provided on the front,
The other electrode is located at a portion other than the front surface of the rim of the opening, and is configured to have a small gap with one of the electrode bodies, so that the electrode body is not short-circuited by a metal pot or the like. Therefore, it can always exert an effective insect repellent function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 14 is the wooden storage furniture body, opening 1
5. One band-shaped electrode body 16 for electric shock is provided on the front surface of the rim of the opening 160, and the other electrode body 17 is provided on the outer surface of the portion other than the front surface of the rim. An insulating gap 18 is provided between the electrode bodies 16 and 17, which is small enough for an insect to straddle. The electrode bodies 17 and 18 are connected to a power source 19 such as a dry battery.
A low voltage of 40 ports is applied.

In the above configuration, insects such as cockroaches can
When the insect tries to crawl inside and touches the pair of electrode bodies 16 and 17, it receives an electric shock and flies outward. Therefore, insects are prevented from entering the storage furniture main body 14.

When the metal pot 20 etc. to be handled next touches the rim of the opening 160 of the storage furniture main body 14, the other electrode body 17 is on a part other than the front side of the rim, so the pot 20 etc. touches the rim of the opening 160 at the same time. Without touching the body 16, 17, it is possible to prevent the insect repellent function from disappearing due to a short circuit between the pair of electrode bodies 16, 17, and wasteful consumption of the battery. In addition, water droplets scattered during water treatment,
Condensation caused by moisture is difficult to adhere to the insulating gap 18 at the corner, and for this reason as well, the pair of electrode bodies 16 and 17 will not be short-circuited.

FIGS. 3 to 6 each show other embodiments of the present invention,
Of the two electrode bodies 16 and 17, one 17 is provided on the inside of the door 21 other than the front side of the mouth edge, and
The electrode structure is changed to an L-shape, and the same effects as those of the above-mentioned embodiments can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, the present invention provides an arrangement in which an electric shock electrode body is provided in the opening of a structure having an opening, in which one electrode body is placed on the front surface of the mouth edge. Since the other electrode is provided at a portion other than the front surface of the mouth edge and both electrode bodies form a small gap, short circuit between the pair of electrode bodies is prevented and the insect repellent function can always be reliably exerted. Yes, and its value is great.

Note that the present invention is not limited to storage furniture, but can be applied to structures having openings such as windows of houses and entrances and exits of storage rooms.
