Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for reducing bird damage.

  Conventionally, bird damage caused by pigeons, crows, sparrows, etc. has become a problem in houses and stations, and it has been difficult to respond. Examples of bird damage include fouling of buildings due to feces, scattering of feathers, and foul odors. As countermeasures, a method of surprise by electric shock (see Patent Document 1), a method of threatening with an instrument imitating an eyeball (see Patent Document 2), a method of avoiding with a volatile chemical that generates odor (see Patent Document 3) ), A method of rotating and repelling sharp protrusions (see Patent Document 4), a method of spraying high-pressure water to surprise (see Patent Document 5), and the like.

However, the method of electric shock, the method of rotating a sharp protrusion, and the method of fountaining high-pressure water require a device such as a power source and are costly and may damage birds. The method of threatening with a tool that imitates the eyeball is not sustainable because the birds get used to it over time. The method of repelling with volatile chemicals that generate odors needs to be replaced periodically in order to maintain its effect, which is costly and may have an adverse effect on humans.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a low-cost bird repelling member that eliminates these conventional problems, suppresses bird damage without damaging birds, and is excellent in sustainability of effects. .

The configuration of the present invention that solves this problem is as follows.
1) A bird repellent member in which a repellent pattern which a bird sees and dislikes is formed on the surface of a flat plate / long plate member / sheet / tape member. A plurality of virtual wavy lines having substantially the same amplitude as the predetermined width are provided in the predetermined width region of the predetermined width so that the phase diameters of the dark spots of black or low brightness are continuously changed on each virtual wavy line. 2) The bird repelling member 3) according to 1), wherein the pattern formed along a plurality of virtual wave lines is formed in a double row so as to be repeated in the width direction. The bird repellent member 4) according to 1) or 2), wherein the dark spots having the same diameter are formed so as not to be arranged on the same row line in the vertical direction. 4) The member is an elastic sheet that can be bent. ~ 3) Any of the bird repellent members 5) The member is wound in a cylindrical shape A sheet with a allowed, the 1) to 3) in birds repellent member according to any one.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce damage such as fecal damage by simply installing it at a location where it is desired to prevent the bird from approaching and refraining from approaching when the bird approaches and sees the repellent pattern on the surface of the member. Further, the member does not require any power source for driving it, and even if it directly touches the member, it does not hurt birds, does not affect humans, has excellent repellent effect, and can be implemented at low cost.

  In the present invention, as a result of examining various patterns and confirming the repellent effect, the present inventors have found that the repellent pattern of the present invention has the most excellent bird deterrent effect. It is not clear how this repellent pattern will look and affect birds, but it seems to be due to a pattern that is difficult to focus on, or because the pattern and color approximate the pattern of the natural enemy animal body. . Even if the bird repellent member does not swing due to wind or the like, the effect is exhibited only by fixing it at a fixed position.

  In addition, a sensor that can detect the approach of birds and a playback device that can reproduce animal crying, etc. may be added to enhance the repelling effect. A part of the pattern may be displayed with luminous paint or fluorescent paint, or light emitted by a light emitting device. You may do it. The yellow system color referred to in the present invention includes gold. Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

  The first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is an example of a bird repellent member attached to H steel on the roof of a railway station using a thin plate material that can be bent as a member.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a usage state of the bird repellent member of the first embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a bird repellent member, 2 is a member, 2a is a mounting piece, 3 is a repellent pattern, 3a is a ground, 3b is an imaginary wave line, 3c is a dark spot, and 4 is H steel.

  The bird repellent member 1 of Example 1 has a repellent pattern 3 formed on the entire upper surface of a member 2 made of a thin, long plate material exhibiting elasticity that can be bent, as shown in FIG. The mounting piece 2a is formed by bending it. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the repellent pattern 3 is formed such that the base 3 a is yellow, the vertical dimension of the black dark spot 3 c is constant, and the horizontal dimension is continuous toward the portion where each virtual wave line 3 b intersects. The pattern formed along the plurality of virtual wave lines 3b is formed in a double row so as to repeat in the horizontal direction. The repelling pattern 3 is such that the human eye sees a portion where the horizontal dimension of the dark spot 3c is large (the dark spot 3c is a perfect circle), and a part where the horizontal dimension is small (the dark spot 3c is an ellipse). Raises the illusion of appearing indented.

  As shown in FIG. 5, this bird repellent member 1 is curved in a semi-cylindrical cross section so that its width matches the flat part of the H steel 4 constituting the station roof, and the mounting pieces 2a on both sides thereof are not shown by screws or Fix with clips or attach by gluing. When the flying pigeon approaches the H-steel 4 and looks at the bird repellent member 1, it dislikes the repellent pattern 3 and does not approach it, and fecal damage at the station is reduced.
