Description

Device for catching insects.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device for catching insects, of the type those they comprise a container that has: at its lower end a opening as an inverted funnel, at its upper end a mouth with means for coupling a removable cover and in its lateral surface diffuser holes of attractant to insects, said diffuser holes being provided with a interior extension.

Background of the invention

Insect capture devices are used in agriculture for two different purposes:

a) Flight tracking. The periodic count of catches can give an index of the biological state of the insect or of its population level in a given area. Information obtained is used to improve the fight against systems insect, whether chemical, biological, mechanical, etc.

b) Mass capture. In this case a high number of traps in order to decrease the population of the insect in a certain area. When you manage to capture a significant percentage of individuals in that area can significantly reduce the damage caused by the insect. Is a technique that does not contaminate crops or the environment environment, but so far the most effective trap models require insecticide inside to prevent a proportion Significant captured insects escape.

Usually for catching flies they use traps with a lower opening and, in addition, they are practiced on the sides of the traps some holes that facilitate the diffusion of the attractant.

The U9901125 utility model includes that the side holes of the trap have a internal and / or external extension of straight or conical configuration to hinder the exit of insects from inside the trap, thereby increasing the contact time of said Insects with the insecticide.

Both traditional traps with holes open sides, as with the Utility Model device U9901125 cited, have the disadvantage of requiring the use of an insecticide inside the trap, since otherwise, much of the insects or flies captured They are able to escape by side vents.

The technical problem that arises is the development of a device for catching insects that, being of the type described above, present a configuration adequate to maintain the diffusion capacity of the attractant by the side holes, significantly reducing the possibility of exit of the captured insects, in order to enable the effective use of the device without the need for Use insecticides

Description of the invention

The device for catching insects, object of this invention, the type comprising those comprising a container presenting: at its lower end an opening by way Inverted funnel, in its upper area a mouth with means for the coupling of a removable cover and on its surface lateral attractant diffuser holes, provided with a interior extension, presents constructive particularities oriented to allow the diffusion of the attractant by said side holes and to avoid a significant escape from the insects captured by the mentioned side holes, which It also allows the device to be used without need of having insecticide inside.

According to the invention the extension inside the side holes has tubular sections communicated with each other and that define at least one interior passage in angle. The angular path defined by said inner passage notably reduces the possibility of insects, which access inside the container attracted by the attractant product, can go outside through this extension tubular.

It is planned that one of the tubular sections is connected by one of its ends with the intermediate zone of the other tubular section, defining an interior passage in "T" with two aligned inner mouths and an outdated outer mouth regarding those.

This "T" configuration of the interior extensions of the side holes and the alignment of the two inner mouths, considerably reduces the risk of flight of captured insects, since insects captured that can access from inside the container to angular passage through one of the inner mouths, do not perform the angular path to the outlet, if not return practically entirely by the same inner mouth or by the Inner mouth facing, inside the container or trap.

With this you get that the entrance of the insects through the side holes not affected, at the same time that the exit of such insects is sufficiently hindered as so that total catches without the use of insecticide in the inside of the trap are far superior to those of any another trap, regardless of whether or not it has holes lateral.

It is also expected that the opening bottom of the container, which is usually setup conical trunk, can be extended by its upper end in some lateral bifurcations that define together with said bottom opening a tubular configuration in "T". Of this mode also reduces the risk of leakage, by said opening lower, of the captured insects.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows an elevation view of a exemplary embodiment of the device for capturing insects

- Figure 2 shows an elevation view of the device the previous figure, partially sectioned and with the decoupled lid of the upper mouth of the container.

- Figure 3 shows a plan view top of the container in which you can observe the interior extensions of the side holes.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced this device comprises a container (1) provided of a lower mouth (11) as an inverted funnel, a mouth upper (12) with bayonet type means for coupling a cover (2) and diffuser holes (13) of a product insect attractant

Each of the diffuser holes (13) defined on the lateral surface of the container (1) is provided of an interior extension (3) composed of a tubular section (31) fixed by one of its ends to the corresponding hole diffuser (13) and at the opposite end of the intermediate zone of a tubular section (32), both tubular sections (31, 32) being arranged perpendicularly and communicated with each other, defining a interior passage of general configuration in "T".

The ends of the tubular section (32) define inner mouths, facing and outdated mouth exterior defined by the tubular section (31).

With this arrangement of the tubular sections (31, 32), the interior extension (3) allows the diffusion of attractant of insects, however making it very noticeable possibility of flight of insects trapped inside the device.

In the example shown, the lower opening (11) it is prolonged by its upper end in some forks laterals (14), which define together with said opening bottom (11) a "T" tubular configuration, which contributes to reduce the risk of insect leakage through said lower opening.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
