Description of the Prior Art There are variations of damage prevention means in existence against birds and such kinds that cause direct or indirect damage to the mankind and animals, such as by the sparrow, crow or pigeons. As means to unattended prevention methods against damages caused by the bird kinds, there were the long known dummy `~
~scare crow", which drive away sparrows and others by scattered installations of numbers in the rice patty or the like. Further, there is another sparrow or the like drive off means by mounting multiple "wooden clappers~ so that noise is generated by winds.
It is also noted that sparrow or the like drive off means by the large explosive sounds upon "firecracker ignitions" are in existence.
It is also a problem of sanitary and displeasure by the excrements of pigeons who form their nests under house eaves to the inhabitants, so that there are some attempts to prevent such ; -pigeon invasion by hanging paper or the like and drawing a "huge eye~- thereon.
Towards the recent days, by the bird kind that stop on power cables, there is an increase of accident occurances by such bird kinds on the power cables, whereas the present status lies with head aches for prevention means to such various damages as caused .' .

appeal to the bird kind vision whereas the "wood clappers' or '~firecracks" appeal to the hearing sense of bird kinds, in order to generate a vigilince or terror impression so that the prevention of approaching near to such locations is accomplished or is useful to chase away the bird kind.
However, either of such means or clevice do not present a definite solution while some cannot be practiced depending upon the location. Accordingly, the appearance of a means that does not require special conditions for adaptation to various locations while it can be easily installed but is effective has been long waited.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a systematic block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 2A and 2B are perspective and side views respectively of a box in which an embodiment of the present invention is contained as well as such practical used condition.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The premises to the present invention shall be explained prior to the explanation of an embQdiment of the present invention.
In other words, the present invention utilizes the extremely sharp hearing sense of the bird kinds against supersonic sounds, by driving a supersonic sound emitter by a supersonic wave signal transmitter so that the supersonic sound is spreadly released in order to provide discomfort to the bird kinds so as to chase them off. As to the frequency of the emitted supersonic sound, since the adequate frequency of the supersonic sound depends upon the bird type, a simple frequency adjuster will be incorporated to make the frequency variation easy. Generally, it is said that supersonic sounds with frequencies between 20 - 60 Kilo Hertz are ~ :
adequate to chase off the bird kinds. It is noted that the bird , ; kinds have extremely sharp sensibillty to supersonic sounds that are beyond comparision to the human being as above stated, although the sound volume to be emitted is small, the above purpose is more than sufficiently accomplished. Contrarily, the .human ear is very weak in sensing supersonic sounds so that there 2~481i~
is no fear of damages for the human ear caused by supersonic s~nds.
Further, since the device of the present invention will be mostly used outdoors, there is the problem of power source supply to the device. Therefore, as for the power source, a solar bàttery that utilizes the light from the sun is incorporated as a part of the device, by which a sencondar~ battery is charged to supply the power to the device.
Now then, an embodiment of the present invention shall be explained in reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram that shows the circuity structure -of an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 generally designates a power source section, 2 a supersonic wave signal generation or transmitter section and 3 a supersonic sound emitter, respectively. The power source section 1 includes a solar battery 11, a secondary battery 12, an on-off switch 13 and a timer 14. `~
The electrical energy that is generated by the solar battery 11 which receives the sun shine is accumulated in the secondary battery 12. The electricaI power that is accumulated in the secondary battery 12 is supplied to the transmitter section 2 through the on-off switch 13. The on-off of the on-off switch 13 ~ -is controlled by timer 14. Further, this timer 14 sets the on-: .
off time span of the on-off switch 13 so as to minimize the power consumption of the power source in order to cope with the condition in which the secondary battery 12 is consumed by the circuit such as the on-off switch 13 is made on during, for example, 30 minutes and then made off for a period of 15 minutes, ~ ; `
or leave it on only during the daytime, while shutting it off during the night time.
2 ~3 ~
The supersonic wave generation or transmitter section 2 is colllposed of a supersonic wave signal transmitter unit 21, and it's frequency control unit 22 as well as it's amplification unit 23.
The supersonic wave signal transmitter uni-t 21 is composed of a pulse generator 21A, a frequency-division counter 21B and a multiplexer 21C. The pulse generator 21A generates a pulse that has a frequency of about more than 60 RHz when the power is supplied thereto from the power source section 1. The frer~uency-division counter 21B receives the high frequency pulse from the pulse generator 21A, Lrequency-divides the same and generates a plurality of pulses al, a2, a3, ... that are different one another in frequency in a range between, for example, about 20 and 60 RHz. These pulses al, a2, a3, ... are supplied to the digital multiplexer 21C (herein called a multiplexer) which works as a data selector. The selection of which frequency of a pulse from the supplied pulses al, a2, a3, ... by the multiplexer 21C
is controlled by the frequency control unit 22.
The frequency control unit 22 is composed of a manual/automatic switcher 22A which is manually controlled, a manual switch 22B that is connected thereto, and a frequency automatic converter 22F which includes a counter 22C that is ;;
switchably connected to switcher 22A, a clock pulse generator 22D
and its adjuster 22E which is manually operated.
When the manual~automatic switcher 22A is switched to the manual switch 22B, by such manual switch 22B, the multiplexer 21C - -determines the selection of one from amoung the pulses al, a2, a3, ... that are output from the frequency-division counter 21B
and different in frequency. A signal b that is supplied to the multiplexer 21C from the frequency control unit 22 in order to 2 ~
select one from within the pulses al, a2, a3, ... at the mu_~iplexer 21C, must be a digital signal of binary scale so that as the manual switch 22B a digital switch is used.
On the other hand, the pulse that is selected by the multiplexer 21C may be changed at a predetermined period automatically. At such time, the manual/automatic switcher 22A
is switched to the digital counter 22C side. The digital counter 22C repeats to count the clock pulse with a predetermined period and generated from the pulse generator 22D and consecutively generate the different binary digital signals at its output side C. By supplying such consecutively generated signals to the multiplexer 21C via the switcher 2?A, the high frequency pulse selected by the multiplexer 21C is consecutively changed. By the manual adjustment of the adjuster 22E such as a variable resistor as an example, that is connected to the pulse generator 22D, the period of the pulse generated from the pulse generator 22D can ~e set up at a desired value.
By such above described function, the multiplexer 21C
conducts the selection of a certain frequency pulse, or automatically selects certain high frequency pulses al, a2, a3, ;
... at a constant period. The pulsated electrical output from multiplexer 21C is sent to the amplifier unit 23 at which it is amplified and thereafter is supplied to a sound emitter 3 from which a supersonic sound with a frequency that responds to the frequency is emitted.
The amplifier unit 23 consists of a waveform shaper 23A and an amplifier 23B. The waveform shaper 23A supplies a high frequency wave signal that enables the sound emitter 3 release a sound of an adequate tone to the amplifier 23B by wavefo~m shaping of the wave shape of the high frequency pulse that is .' ' 3 ~
sent from the multiplexer 21C by such use of a low-pass filter or the like. The amplifier 23B is a power amplifier unit to amplify such high frequency signal as supplied from the waveform shaper 23A that is enabled to sufficiently drive the sound emitter 3.
Thus, the sound emitter 3 will release the predetermined ;
supersonic sound as driven by the signal power from the amplifier 23B.
Figs. 2A and 2B are perspectiue and side views of a case where the device according to the present invention is enclosed into one box which is mounted on a fixture such as a pillar or the like. On the diagram, 10 is a box, 20 is a pillar onto which the box 10 is mounted, 30 is a solar battery (the same to the solar battery 11 on Fig. 1), 40 is a sound releasing window through which the supersonic sound emitted from sound emitter 3 within the box 10 is emitted to the outside, 50 is an opening door on the box 10, and 60 is a fitting by which the box 10 is mounted on the pillar 20.
Since~the structure is simple, detailed explanations are not felt necessary, but the door 50 is a window in order to open and manipulate the manual/automatic switcher 22A as explained on Fig.
1 or to operate the hand switch 22B or adjuster 22E. Further, as ~ -for the fitting 60, a proper fitting that is adequate depending upon the mounting location of box 10 can be prepared.
Also, in order to use the device of the present invention at a wide open location, a type with a large sound emission may be used, in which case it may be better efficient to scatterdly locate a multiple number of low output devices. By making a standard device, a scatter installation in compliance to the open ;
space may be used.
Since the device of the invention will be mainly used -.' ,, 2 ~
outdoors, it is needless to say that the entire device be of a ralnproof structure; The shape or design need not be bound by Fig. 2, and can of course be freely designed, as well as the interior circuit structure be designed with circuit logics freely as long as the objects of the present invention is not escaped.
It should be understood that the above description is presented by way of example on the preferred embodiments of the '~
invention and it will be apparent that many modifications and variations thereof could be effected by one with ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the invention so that the scope of the invention should be determined only by the appended claims.
