Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insect trap whose insect-trapping tape is made unable to be observed from the outside and which can trap with the insect-trapping tape the flying insects attracted into a cover with a light trap. SOLUTION: In this insect trap, several openings 5 are disposed on faces for holding a lamp fitting or an insect-trapping member 4 and on faces not having the shade of the lamp fitting thereon from the insect-attracting lamp 3, forming spaces 7 permitting the passage of the flying insects on the insides or outsides of the openings 5 in parallel to the openings 5, respectively, and disposing semi-transparent visual observation-shielding members 6 which do not permit the direct observation of the insect-trapping tape in a cover 2 from the outside but permits the transmission of the light of the insect-attracting lamp, in the cover for covering all of the lamp fitting to which the insect-light trap 3 for attracting the flying insects is detachably attached through a socket, and an insect-trapping member 4 to which the insect-trapping tape for trapping the flying insects attracted with the attracting lamp is detachably attached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect trap for catching flying insects such as mosquitoes, fly, winged insects and moths attracted by an insect lamp using an insect trap tape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this kind of insect trap has a problem that when a trap is installed in a restaurant, for example, a visitor feels discomfort when seeing a flying insect caught on an insect trap tape.

[0003] To solve the above problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 657-657 or Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-245322, proposals have been made to solve the above-described problem by devising the arrangement or shape of the openings.

However, in these insect traps, the opening around the insect trap tape is smaller than the opening around the insect lamp. In this configuration, flying insects can be attracted near the insect lamp, but the flying insects near the insect lamp cannot be captured by the insect catching tape, and there is a high possibility that the flying insects will escape from the cover again through the opening. In other words, the insect trapping effect is not reduced by directly avoiding the insect trapping tape by visual observation, but the insect trapping effect is reduced, and has an insect trapping effect equal to or higher than that of a trap that does not consider the insect trapping tape being visible, and No traps have been proposed in which the trap tape is not visible from the outside.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. The insect trapping member is made invisible from the outside, and flying insects attracted to the inside of the cover by the insect lamp are surely captured by the insect trap tape. It is an object of the present invention to provide an insect trap which can be used.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a lamp in which an insect lamp 3 for attracting flying insects is detachably arranged via a socket, and the lamp is attracted by the insect lamp. In the cover covering the entire insect trapping member 4 on which insect catching tape for catching flying insects is detachably installed, a plurality of openings are provided on a surface holding the lamp or the insect trapping member and a surface which is not shaded by the lamp. A gap 7 through which flying insects can pass is provided inside or outside of the opening 5 in parallel with the opening 5, so that the insect trap tape inside the cover 2 is not directly visible from the outside, and the insect lamp is provided. The gist is that a visual shield 6 made of a translucent material that transmits light is provided. In this case, it is desirable to use a ground glass-like or white acrylic plate, a plastic plate, a glass plate, or the like that is generally used for a cover of a lighting fixture as the visual shielding portion.

[0007] With this configuration, light from the insect lamp passes through the visual shield and is radiated from all the openings to the outside of the cover, so that a sufficient attracting effect can be obtained. Further, it is not easy for a flying insect that has entered through the gap between the opening and the visual shield to escape to the outside again from this gap, and is surely caught by the insect tape while flying inside the cover.
As described above, it is possible to provide an insect trap having an insect trapping effect equal to or higher than that of the insect trap which does not consider the above-described insect trap tape being visible, and in which the insect trapping member is not visible from the outside.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3,
Reference numeral 3 denotes an insect lamp, and reference numeral 4 denotes an insect trapping member. These are detachably held by sockets and support members inside both short-side standing surfaces of the cover 2. One of the long standing surfaces of the cover 2 is detachable or openable for exchanging the internal insect lamp and insect trap tape.

The cover 2 has a plurality of openings 5 in the longitudinally standing surface, the top surface, and the bottom surface. Also,
A gap 7 through which flying insects can pass is provided inside each of the surfaces, and a visual shielding portion 6 is arranged in parallel with the opening so that the insect trap tape inside the opening cannot be directly viewed from all openings on the same surface. Is fixed by a supporting member 8.

The insect trap of the above construction is designed mainly to be installed by hanging from the ceiling. However, this trap trap is a wall-mounted trap excluding one of the long standing surfaces, and the trap is not used. By installing the cut surface with a gap through which the flying insects can pass from the wall, it is possible to obtain a wall-mounted insect trap having the same effect.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the flying insects transmitted through the insect lamp by the visual shield and having the insect trapping tape have a sufficient insect-inducing effect without being directly viewed. A trap that has a more reliable trapping effect than before because the flying insects once inside the cover are not easily escaped outside the cover because the flying insects are drawn into the cover from the gap that the flying insects can pass through Can be provided.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. An insect lamp in which an insect lamp for attracting flying insects is detachably arranged via a socket, and an insect trap tape for detachably installing an insect tape for catching flying insects attracted by the insect lamp. In the cover that covers the entire member, a plurality of openings are provided on a surface that holds the lamp or the insect trapping member and a surface that is not shaded by the lamp by the lamp,
