  However, in a configuration such as this cockroach trap 100, after the cockroach has been captured, the captured cockroach is better visible from openings such as the end openings 102, 102 and the side openings 103, 103. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to install in a place that is easily noticeable, for example, in a drawing room or a living room where it is easily noticeable. In particular, for women, such discomfort is easily felt, and when it comes to the cockroach catcher 100 after use, it is difficult to handle, such as being disgusted to touch, so its disposal becomes difficult. There are also many things.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a pest trap which is less likely to cause discomfort and easy to dispose after use.

In order to achieve the above object, the pest trap according to the present invention is
A pest trap comprising: a three-dimensional main body having an interior space capable of containing pests; and the body provided with an opening through which the pest can enter the interior space from the outside,
The opening may be configured to open to the outside only in one direction in the main body.

  According to the above configuration, the opening is configured to be open to the outside only in one direction, so it is difficult to see the pest from the outside even when the pest is accommodated in the internal space, and therefore it is difficult to give a sense of discomfort. can do. In particular, if the insect trap is installed so that the opening portion is directed to a structure such as a wall or furniture, it is possible to effectively prevent the insects in the internal space from being noticed.

  In addition, pests in the interior space will be covered by the body except for the opening, so it is easy to handle the body without touching pests, so it is easy to dispose of the pest trap after use. Can.

  Furthermore, since the part excluding the opening in the main body does not have to be opened, its shape, design, etc. can be designed freely, for example, a plurality of surfaces including four or more including the opening forming surface It is also possible to improve the design by forming it into a simple polyhedron having a surface, or a three-dimensional shape combining a flat surface, a curved surface, a protrusion and the like, or providing various decorations, designs, patterns and the like on the surface. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively configure a preferable appearance that is difficult to associate with pests.

  It is desirable that the main body is configured to be crushed in at least one direction.

  According to the above configuration, the pest trap can be made compact by crushing the main body in a state in which the pest is accommodated in the internal space, so handling and disposal can be made easier. Also, by crushing the main body, the pests in the internal space become more difficult to see.

  It is desirable that at least a part of the inner surface of the main body has an adhesive portion so that the opposing inner surfaces of the main body can adhere to each other when the main body is crushed.

  According to the said structure, a main body can be hold | maintained in the state crushed by sticking the inner surfaces which a main body opposes with an adhesion part. Therefore, since the pest trap can be easily maintained in a compact state, handling and disposal can be further facilitated. In addition, the internal space is closed in a state in which the pests are confined, and the pests can be made more difficult to see more effectively.

  In addition, the adhesion portion can be configured to have both the function of holding the main body in a crushed and crushed state as described above and the function as a capture means for capturing a pest by adhesion, whereby the pest trap can be efficiently used. Can be configured.

  It is desirable that the main body has a bent portion at least partially, and is configured to be crushed by bending the bent portion.

  According to the said structure, it can be set as the main body which can be crushed effectively by simple structure.

  It is desirable that the main body has a spacer portion for securing a space outside the opening.

  According to the said structure, the path | route which a pest can pass can be ensured on the outer side of an opening part in the state which installed the pest trap. In particular, when installing a pest catcher along a structure such as a wall or furniture, the pest catcher can be easily and surely secured while securing a necessary passage by positioning the spacer portion against the structure. Can be installed. In other words, the spacer portion can function as a guide or positioning means for placing the pest trap with the required spacing between the opening and the structure.

  It is desirable that the spacer portion be capable of securing an interval of 0.5 to 2 cm outside the opening.

  According to the said structure, the channel | path which has a width | variety with which a pest easily passes can be formed.

  The upper surface, the bottom surface, and the left and right side surfaces are closed by the rectangular upper surface wall and the bottom surface wall, and the multilateral left and right side surface walls whose upper sides are inclined, and the upper surface wall extends along the upper side of the side surface wall. It is desirable that at least a part of a side surface extending along an edge (top edge) extending at the highest position on the upper surface wall is opened to form the opening.

  According to the said structure, it becomes a polyhedron of the shape where a main body gradually expands toward an opening part as a whole, while an upper surface wall inclines upwards toward an opening part. Therefore, it can arrange | position with a sense of stability, ensuring the opening area of an opening part large. In addition, when crushing, it is easy to crush from the side of the opening. Furthermore, in terms of appearance, the pest trap can be designed to have a sharp and simple appearance, and be less likely to be associated with pests and give a suitable impression. In particular, when installing a pest trap so that the opening is directed to a structure such as a wall or furniture, the space is efficiently used as a posture that is difficult to see even with a large opening. It fits well and can be arranged. Moreover, assembly can also be made easy by having the above simple structures.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

(Pest trap configuration)
In the present embodiment, the cockroach trap 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is exemplified as a pest trap. The cockroach catcher 1 has a main body 2 as shown in the figure, and the main body 2 has a basic configuration in which an opening 3 is provided.

  The main body 2 is configured by cutting a thick sheet of paper into a shape of a developed view (not shown), folding it, and assembling it, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a square upper surface wall 2 T and a bottom wall 2B and the left side wall 2L and the right side wall 2R having a quadrilateral shape whose upper side is inclined, the upper surface, the bottom surface, and the left and right side surfaces are closed, and the upper surface wall 2T is inclined along the upper side of the left side wall 2L and the right side wall 2R. It is comprised so that it may become a solid which has a shape. Further, the front surface is closed by a front wall 2F having a shape extending in a horizontally long belt shape. From the lower end of the left side wall 2L and the lower end of the right side wall 2R, a piece-like adhesive margin 2A extends downward, is bent at a right angle and is joined to the inner surface (upper side surface) of the bottom wall 2B.

  The bottom wall 2B extends further rearward than the rear ends of the left side wall 2L and the right side wall 2R, thereby forming a spacer portion 2S. Further, the spacer portion 2S extends further rearward than the tip and is folded upward to form a step portion 2P.

  The width of the bottom wall 2B extending rearward from the rear ends of the left side wall 2L and the right side wall 2R, that is, the width w1 of the spacer portion 2S is about 1.5 cm. On the other hand, the width w2 of the step 2P in the folding direction is about 2 cm, and the inclination angle to the bottom wall 2B is about 20 °, that is, it is folded upward from the rear end of the spacer 2S and about 20 forward It is configured to extend in a slope with a slope of °.

  The rear end of the upper surface wall 2T extends slightly backward and is folded back so as to hang downward, thereby forming a reinforcing piece 2E. The reinforcement piece 2E functions as a reinforcement rib to ensure the strength of the upper surface wall 2T.

  From the rear end of the left side wall 2L, as also shown in FIG. 3, most of the upper part except for the lower end (a part about 0.5 cm wide in the height direction from the lower end) is backward to some extent (about The rectangular piece 21L is formed by extending about 2.2 cm and bending inward (right side), thereby securing the strength in the height direction. The left side wall 2L is provided with a first fold 22L extending in the front-rear direction so as to bisect the left side wall 2L at a position around the center in the height direction, and the first fold 22L is valley-folded. By bending the left side wall 2L, the left side wall 2L can be vertically bent, whereby the main body 2 is easily crushed in the vertical direction. In addition, a second fold line 23L is provided at a position near the center in the height direction of the rectangular piece 21L so as to be continuous with the first fold line 22L, and the rectangular piece 21L is further inward at the boundary with the left side wall 2L. When the left side wall 2L is bent as described above in a state where it is folded (ie, forward) so as to substantially overlap the left side wall 2L from the inside, the rectangular piece 21L is also mountain-folded at the second fold 23L together with this. It has become. That is, it is bent so as to follow the bending of the left side wall 2L so as to bend up and down.

  Further, a V-shaped cut 24L is formed at the upper left corner of the rectangular piece 21L, and the lower left corner of the reinforcing piece 2E is inserted and latched, whereby the rectangular piece 21L and the reinforcing piece 2E are hooked. The lower left corner of the reinforcing piece 2E is configured to be able to hold each other in a bent position, for example, when bending the left side wall 2L and elevating it in the vertical direction as described above. The latch can be easily released by removing the portion from the cut 24L. In addition, the lower end edge of the rectangular piece 21L is also hooked on the tip end edge (upper end edge) of the step portion 2P from above so that the folded state of the step portion 2P having an inclination angle of about 20 ° as described above can be maintained. It has become.

  With the above configuration, the assembly structure on the left side of the main body 2 is maintained, and the main body 2 can be crushed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the rectangular piece 21R is also formed on the right side wall 2R, but the configuration of the rectangular piece 21R and the assembly structure around it are symmetrical with the case of the rectangular piece 21L in the above-mentioned left side. The description is omitted.

  In the state where the main body 2 is assembled as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, an area surrounded by the reinforcing piece 2E, the step portion 2P and the rectangular pieces 21L and 21R on both left and right sides, ie, the back surface of the main body 2 The central horizontally extending rectangular region, which occupies most of the area, is open and the internal space of the main body 2 communicates with the outside, whereby the opening 3 is formed. The opening 3 according to the present embodiment has a height of about 3 cm and a width of about 14 cm, and has dimensions that facilitate the entry of cockroaches as pests. That is, it is a structure which can make the cockroach which is a pest approach into the interior space of the main body 2 from the exterior.

  The inner surface of the main body 2 is generally colored in gray close to the color of the roach so that the captured roach is as unobtrusive as possible. In addition, a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is entirely formed on the inner surface (upper side surface) of the bottom wall 2B (not shown), and a attractant is disposed at an appropriate position in the internal space. (Not shown). On the other hand, a decorative handle (design) is attached by printing on the entire outer surface of the main body 2 including the step portion 2P and the rectangular pieces 21L and 21R of the left and right side walls 2L and 2R (not shown) .

(Installation and use of pest traps)
The cockroach catcher 1 according to this embodiment can be installed at any place indoors or outdoors, and in particular, it has a simple and clean appearance as described above, so it is easy to notice It can be arranged without discomfort even in such places. For example, they can be placed on the floor surface or on furniture as easily as or as part of the interior of the room. In that case, it may be arranged away from the surroundings. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, if it is installed with the opening 3 facing a structure such as a wall or furniture, cockroaches in the internal space. It is more desirable to be able to effectively suppress the appearance of

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the cockroach catcher 1 is installed so that the opening 3 faces the wall surface F1 in the room. In such an installation mode, it is considered that the line of sight hardly reaches the internal space of the main body 2 because the wall surface F1 faces the front of the opening 3. Therefore, even if cockroaches are captured and housed in the internal space of the main body 2, they are hardly visible from the outside, and at first glance, they have a simple and clean appearance as described above. The image of is also difficult to receive.

  In addition, the cockroach catcher 1 according to the present embodiment has a sharp shape in which the main body 2 is gradually expanded as a whole toward the opening 3 while the upper surface wall 2T is inclined upward toward the opening 3. Because it is a polyhedron having the above, it can be suitably arranged with a sense of stability, and as in the example shown in FIG. 4 in particular, while efficiently utilizing the space at the boundary between the floor surface L1 and the wall surface F1, It can be arranged neatly and fits well, and it can harmonize with the surroundings without a sense of incompatibility.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the cockroach catcher 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to be installed easily and reliably in contact with the wall surface F1. As described above, the main body 2 is provided with the spacer portion 2S, and the extension width w1 thereof is about 1.5 cm, but a gap of this width is generally preferred by cockroaches in general. There is. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the cockpit 1 is placed on the floor L1 so that the tip of the spacer 2S is placed against the wall F1, the back surface of the main body 2, ie, the opening 3 forming surface and the wall F1 In the meantime, it is possible to form a suitable entry route through which cockroaches are easy to pass. In other words, while ensuring a suitable distance between the wall surface F1 and the opening portion 3 as close as possible to the wall surface F1 so that the cockroach in the inner space is difficult to see, the position is precisely adjusted. The cockroach catcher 1 can be arranged very easily.

  For example, cockroaches approach the opening 3 from various directions such as from the right side or the left side as indicated by arrows A1 and A2 in FIG. 4 and from the upper side through the wall surface F1 as indicated by arrow A3. Alternatively, it is possible to climb over the top wall 2T as indicated by the arrow A4. Then, when the cockroach enters between the back surface of the main body 2 and the wall surface F1 and steps over the step 2P and enters the internal space from the opening 3, the step 2P is inclined forward and upward as described above. Since there is a certain level difference between the tip and the bottom wall 2B, cockroaches fall from the tip of the step portion 2P onto the bottom wall 2B. As a result, the cockroach becomes almost entirely on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, so it is effectively captured by adhesion, and the height difference between the tip of the step portion 2P and the bottom wall 2B as described above Therefore, even if there is a case where it is not sufficiently adhered, it is difficult to escape to the outside through the step portion 2P again. Thus, the cockroach is captured and accommodated in the internal space of the main body 2.

(Treatment of pest traps)
Whether or not an appropriate number of one or more cockroaches have been captured by the cockroach trap 1 may be confirmed by visually observing the internal space from the opening 3, but the user sees a cockroach in the internal space. It's almost only at this time. When the cockroach capture is confirmed and the cockroach catcher 1 is discarded, for example, the cockroach may be thrown into a trash can or a trash bag as it is. As described above, the cockroach trap 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to have a high blocking property because only the surface on which the opening 3 is formed is open. It is also easy to handle the cockroach catcher 1 without it. In other words, it is possible to easily pick up the cockroach catcher 1 without feeling as much as possible by visual sense or tactile sense.

  However, the cockroach trap 1 according to the present embodiment has a shape in which the main body 2 gradually expands toward the opening 3 as a whole while the upper surface wall is inclined upward toward the opening 3 as described above. Because it has a polyhedron, it is easy to crush from the side of the opening 3 particularly when crushing. Furthermore, as described above, since the main body 2 can be crushed by bending the left and right side walls 2L, 2R and the rectangular pieces 21L, 21R, the crushing is further facilitated. ing. Therefore, if the cockroach catcher 1 is crushed when discarded, the cockroach catcher 1 is made compact in a flat plate shape so that it can be handled and disposed more easily, and cockroaches in the internal space become more difficult to see. Further, at this time, since the adhesive layer is formed on the inner surface (upper side surface) of the bottom wall 2B as described above, when the main body 2 is crushed, the inner surface (upper side) of the bottom wall 2B and the inner surface of the upper surface wall 2T (The lower side surface) adhere to each other, whereby the main body 2 is held in a crushed state. Therefore, since the cockroach catcher 1 is held in a compact state in a flat plate shape, handling and disposal are further facilitated. In addition, the interior space looks like it is compressed with the cockroach confined, and the cockroach becomes more difficult to see. In other words, it is possible to obtain a function of holding the main body 2 in a crushed state by using the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer as a capturing means for capturing pests by adhesion.

(Function)
A cockroach trap 1 according to the present embodiment includes a three-dimensional main body 2 having an internal space capable of accommodating a cockroach, which is a pest, and allows the cockroach to enter the internal space from the outside. The opening 3 is configured to be opened to the outside only in one direction, that is, the rear in the main body 2.

  According to the above configuration, the opening 3 is configured to be opened to the outside in only one direction, so even when the cockroach is accommodated in the internal space, the cockroach can not be seen from the outside, thus giving a sense of discomfort It has become difficult. In particular, if the cockroach catcher 1 is installed so that the opening 3 is directed to a structure such as a wall or furniture, for example, it can be effectively suppressed that the cockroach in the internal space is visible.

  Further, since the cockroach in the inner space is covered by the main body 2 in a bag-like or pack-like manner except for the opening 3, the main body 2 can be seen without seeing or touching the roach. It is easy to handle, so that disposal of the cockroach catcher 1 after use can also be performed easily.

  Furthermore, in the main body 2, the portion excluding the opening 3 is not required to be opened, so that its shape, design, etc. can be designed freely, and hence the cockroach trap 1 according to the present embodiment. In this case, it is formed in the shape of a simple polyhedron (hexahedron), and a decorative design (design) is attached to the surface to improve the designability, and this also makes it easy to associate cockroaches and has a preferable appearance. It is structured.

  Further, since the main body 2 is configured to be easily crushed at least in the vertical direction, the roach catcher 1 can be made compact by crushing the main body 2 in a state in which the cockroach is accommodated in the internal space. Can thus be easier to handle and dispose of. Further, by crushing the main body 2, cockroaches in the internal space become more difficult to see.

  In addition, at least a part of the inner surface of the main body 2, that is, the inner surface (upper surface) of the bottom wall 2B, has an adhesive layer which is an adhesive part and crushes the main body 2; Since the inner surface (upper surface) and the inner surface (lower surface) of the upper surface wall 2T can be adhered to each other, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer presses the main body 2 by adhering the opposed inner surfaces of the main body 2 to each other. It can be held in a crushed state. Therefore, since the cockroach catcher 1 can be easily maintained in a compact state, handling and disposal are further facilitated. In addition, the interior space is compressed in a state in which the cockroach is confined, and it is possible to make the cockroach more difficult to see effectively. In addition, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which is the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion, has a function of holding the main body 2 in a crushed and crushed state as described above and a function as capturing means for capturing cockroaches by adhesion. The cockroach trap 1 is configured efficiently.

  Further, the main body 2 has first and second folds that are bent portions on the left and right side walls 2L and 2R and the rectangular pieces 21L and 21R, and is crushed by folding the first fold and the second fold. Therefore, the main body 2 can be effectively crushed with a simple configuration.

  Moreover, since the main body 2 has the spacer part 2S for ensuring a space | interval outside the opening part 3, in the state which installed the cockroach capture device 1, the passage which a cockroach can pass outside the opening part 3 is ensured. Be able to. In particular, when the cockroach catcher 1 is installed along a structure such as a wall, furniture, etc., the cockroach catcher 1 is secured while securing a necessary passage by positioning the spacer portion 2S against the structure. It can be installed easily and reliably. In other words, the spacer portion 2S can function as a guide or positioning means for arranging the cockroach catcher 1 with a required spacing between the opening 3 and the structure. There is.

  In addition, since the spacer portion 2S can secure an interval of about 1.5 cm to the outside of the opening portion 3, it is possible to form a passage through which a cockroach can easily pass.

  Further, the upper surface, the bottom surface, and the left and right side surfaces of the main body 2 are closed by the rectangular upper surface wall 2T and the bottom wall 2B and the multilateral (quadrilateral) left and right side walls 2L and 2R whose upper sides are inclined. The upper surface wall 2T is inclined along the upper sides of the side wall surfaces 2L, 2R, and is at least a part of the rear surface that is the side surface extending along the edge (top edge) extending at the highest position in the upper surface wall 2T, that is, large. Since the portion is opened to form the opening 3, the shape of the main body 2 gradually expands toward the opening 3 as a whole while the upper surface wall 2 </ b> T is inclined upward toward the opening 3. It is a polyhedron. Therefore, it can arrange | position with a feeling of stability, ensuring the opening area of the opening part 3 large. Moreover, when crushing, it is easy to crush from the opening 3 side. Furthermore, in terms of appearance, it has a sharp and simple appearance, and is a cockroach catcher 1 of a design that can be easily associated with a cockroach and can give a suitable impression. In particular, when the cockroach trap 1 is installed so that the opening 3 is directed to a structure such as a wall or furniture, the posture is such that the opening 3 is difficult to see while the opening 3 is wide open. The space can be arranged efficiently while using the space efficiently. Moreover, since it has the simple structure as described above, it is easy to assemble.

(Modification)
Various modifications can be made to the above embodiment, and examples of the modifications will be given below. In addition, in the modification shown below, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part thru | or site | part similar to the said embodiment, and the reference about this is abbreviate | omitted except a required case.

(1) In the above embodiment, the entire shape and the foldable structure are configured to be easily crushed in the vertical direction, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the structure which is hard to crush may be sufficient. In addition, even if it is made of a material such as a thick paper as in the above embodiment, it may be crushed to some extent even if it is made of a material such as a thick paper, even if it is not easily crushed by the whole shape or bendable structure as described above. It can be an easy pest trap. However, it goes without saying that if the structure is easy to be crushed by the overall shape and the foldable structure as in the above-described embodiment, the crushing becomes even easier, and further, it is crushed into a relatively orderly flat plate shape. Therefore, it is more desirable in terms of handling and ease of processing.

  In addition to the configuration in which the left and right side walls 2L, 2R and the rectangular pieces 21L, 21R are folded in half with a single fold as in the above-described embodiment, the wall can be folded, for example, as a foldable configuration. It is good also as a structure which bend | folds in multiple steps | paragraphs of three or more folds by two or more creases | folds so that it may become a zigzag side view in a side view. Further, as a configuration that is easy to crush, for example, it is possible to crush easily in one or more other directions such as the front-rear direction or the left-right direction as well as one direction such as the vertical direction. By this, it may be made to be able to crush more compactly.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, the spacer portion 2S is formed so as to extend rearward from the bottom wall 2B of the main body 2; however, the configuration of the spacer portion is outside the opening portion. There is no particular limitation as long as the gap can be secured.

  For example, in addition to forming the spacer portion 2S integrally with the main body 2 as in the above embodiment, for example, a spacer is prepared as a separate member and joined to the main body to constitute the spacer portion. It is also good.

  Further, the shape of the spacer portion is not particularly limited, and in addition to the rectangular or band-shaped piece as in the above embodiment, for example, protrusions having various shapes such as a rod or a column, Anything may be possible, such as one that protrudes in a frame shape (U-shape) from the rear of the main body to the rear. Also, the formation position of the spacer part may be an upper side part, a side part, etc. other than the bottom side part on the back surface of the main body 2 as in the above embodiment, and at least a part of the appropriate part in the main body. It may be formed into

  In the above embodiment, the extension width w1 of the spacer portion 2S is about 1.5 cm. However, the extension width of the spacer portion is about 0.5 to 2 cm, more preferably about 0. If the length is about 5 to 1.5 cm, more preferably about 1 to 1.5 cm, a passage through which pests can easily pass can be formed. If the extension width of the spacer portion is about 0.5 cm or more, a width through which a cockroach of a general size can pass can be secured, while if it is about 2 cm or less, a cockroach particularly prefers Narrow channels can be formed.

  Also, for example, on the contrary, the main body may be configured more simply by not providing the spacer portion. Furthermore, for example, a spacer is provided on the main body so as to be able to enter and exit (strikingly retractable) by a sliding operation, a rotational operation, etc., or an appropriate slit is provided on the main body and a separate spacer is inserted. In other words, the use state in which the spacer is protruded from the main body 2 and the non-use state in which the spacer is not protruded may be selectively used depending on the use situation.

(3) In the above embodiment, the spacer portion 2S is a portion for securing a space to the outside of the opening 3. For example, as shown in FIG. You may make it provide the spacer part for ensuring. In the cockroach trap 11 shown in the figure, in addition to the spacer portion 12S similar to the case of the above embodiment, a left spacer portion 25L and a right spacer portion 25R are provided for securing a lateral distance. . In addition, the structure of the main body 12 which concerns on this change aspect is the same as that of the main body 2 which concerns on the said embodiment except the point provided with the left side spacer part 25L and the right side spacer part 25R.

  The left spacer portion 25L and the right spacer portion 25R should be set such that the width in the left-right direction of the bottom wall 12B of the main body 12 is larger than the left and right side walls 12L and 12R by a width w3. It is formed by. The extension width w3 of the left and right spacer portions 25L and 25R is about 1.5 cm, similar to the extension width w1 of the spacer portion 2S according to the above embodiment, and the corner portions of the front and rear ends on the extension end side. Is shaped to round off the corners.

  According to the cockroach trap 11 according to this modified embodiment, a space can be secured not only in the rear side, that is, in the outer side but also in the lateral side of the opening 3, and therefore, in particular, the structure is provided not only in the rear but also in the side. It can be suitably installed at a certain position. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be particularly suitably installed in the case where the inside corner in a room is installed on the floor surface L1 at the intersection of two adjacent wall surfaces F1 and F2. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the cockroach can come close to the opening 3 from the right side or the left side as shown by the arrows A1 and A2 as described above, but as shown by the left arrow A2, the cockroach catcher When passing through between 1 and the wall surface F2 located on the left side and approaching the opening 3 from the left side, if the gap D1 between the cockroach trap 1 and the wall surface F2 is suitable, this region also A passage through which cockroaches easily pass is formed. Therefore, according to the cockroach trap 11 according to this modification, since the left and right side spacer portions 25L and 25R are provided, the cockroach trap 11 is placed on the floor so that the tip of the left spacer portion 25L is placed on the left wall surface F2. By simply placing on the surface L1, it is possible to form a suitable entry path through which the roach can easily pass between the left side surface of the main body 2, that is, the left side wall 2L and the wall F2.

  The left and right both side spacer portions 25L, 25R according to this modification are formed integrally with the main body 12 by forming the bottom wall 12B of the main body 12 so as to extend leftward and rightward as described above However, according to this, there is an advantage that it can be easily formed, but instead, for example, a spacer as a separate member so as to have an appropriate shape such as a plate shape like the right spacer portion 26R shown in FIG. Prepare both left and right spacers by overlapping and bonding from the bottom to the outer surface (lower side) of the left and right side edge of the bottom wall 2B so that the width w3 protrudes leftward and rightward from the left and right side walls 2L, 2R. You may comprise a part. According to this configuration, for example, the left and right side spacer portions may be made of a material or thickness different from that of the main body 2 to increase the strength. In the case of the right side spacer portion 26R according to this modification, the right spacer portion 26R is configured by thick paper that is slightly thicker than the thick paper constituting the main body 2, so that the plate-like shape can be easily maintained and the structure can be contacted frequently. It is configured to have higher strength so as to be relatively resistant to damage. Alternatively, the left and right side spacer parts may be provided as separate parts separated from the main body 2 and may be attached to at least one of the left side and the right side of the main body 2 as required. Furthermore, also in the case of the left and right side spacer portions, as in the case of the spacer portion protruding outward from the opening portion 3 described above, at least one of the left side and the right side in the main body 2 It is good also as a structure which can be selectively used with the use state which protruded the spacer from the main body 2, and the non-use state which does not protrude according to a use condition.

(4) In the above embodiment, the main body 2 is a polyhedron having a shape that gradually expands toward the opening 3 as a whole while the upper surface wall 2T is inclined upward toward the opening 3. However, the shape of the main body is not limited to such a shape, and particularly in the present invention, the portion other than the opening in the main body does not have to be opened, and thus can be configured in an arbitrary shape. it can.

  For example, instead of the main body 2 according to the above-described embodiment having quadrilateral left and right side walls 2L, 2R whose upper side is inclined, as shown in FIG. A main body 28 having a left side wall 27L and a right side wall (not shown), and a main body having a left side wall 29L and a right side wall (not shown) having a rectangular shape (rectangular shape) whose upper side is not inclined as shown in FIG. It may be 30 mag. According to these modified modes, a simpler configuration can be obtained, and in particular, in the case of the main body 28 having a triangular shape in a side view as shown in FIG. However, in this case, the front end portion 28G of the main body 28 is likely to be a dead space where the inside height is too small to allow pests to enter. It is better to do.

  Further, from the viewpoint of ease of crushing, stability, design, etc., according to the above embodiment rather than the main body 30 having a side view shape in which the upper side is not inclined as shown in FIG. 7B. It is more advantageous to use a main body having a side view shape in which the upper side is inclined, such as the main body 2 or a main body 28 having a triangular shape in side view as shown in FIG.

  In addition to the main body 2 according to the above embodiment and the main body 2, 28, and 30 shown in FIGS. The main body may be composed entirely of a curved surface, or may be a main body having a shape combining a curved surface and a flat surface. Furthermore, for example, by forming large and small protrusions, grooves, ridges and the like on the surface, the shape is made more complicated, or the shape is made to simulate various objects such as familiar articles, vehicles, buildings, animals, etc. Thus, it can be formed into an arbitrary shape.

  In addition, various decorations, patterns, character strings, patterns, and the like may be provided on the surface of the main body to improve the design. As the forming method, for example, any method such as printing, painting, sticking of a seal or the like is possible. Further, the color of the main body is not particularly limited. However, in the case of the inner surface of the main body, it is desirable to use a color that makes captured insects as inconspicuous as possible, for example black, brown, beige other than gray such as the inner surface of the main body 2 according to the above embodiment. It is mentioned that it is a color close to the color of cockroaches such as ocher and brown.

As a more specific example of the configuration of the surface of the main body, it is also possible to arrange an appropriate character string such as “Welcome,” for example.
It is also possible to use it at a position where it is easy to see at the foot of an entrance space such as a house or restaurant. According to this aspect, particularly in the case of a restaurant or the like, a cockroach catcher can be used as a advertising plate.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, the opening 3 is formed to have a horizontally extending rectangular shape. However, as the opening, a pest can enter the internal space from the outside. As long as the main body is configured to open to the outside in only one direction, it may have any configuration.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a configuration in which a plurality of openings 32A, 32B, and 32C are provided on the back surface of the main body 31 is also possible. In the example shown in the figure, three rectangular openings 32A, 32B, 32C each having an opening area such that one general cockroach can pass with a slight margin in the lateral direction on the back of the main body 31 It is formed so as to be juxtaposed in one row.

  Also, for example, a capture chamber having a volume smaller than that of the main body is provided in the inside of the main body, and capture is performed by a laterally extending passage with a height and width that allows one common cockroach to pass with a slight margin. A configuration in which the chamber communicates with the outside is also possible (not shown). According to such a configuration, the cockroach captured inside the main body can be made more difficult to see.

(6) The cockroach trap 1 according to the above-described embodiment has a configuration in which only the back surface, which is the opening 3 formation surface, of the main body 2 is opened, and the portions other than the opening 3 are closed. However, for example, one or a plurality of fine ventilation holes may be formed in a portion of the main body excluding the opening, or at least a part thereof may be configured with a member such as a cloth having air permeability. In this case, a small ventilation structure (pore) is formed in the portion excluding the opening, but as long as the ventilation structure has a small size so that insects such as cockroaches cannot pass through, It does not correspond to the opening according to the invention, and even if it is formed in a portion other than the opening, it basically causes no problem. However, even if the ventilation structure has a size that does not allow insect pests such as cockroaches to pass through, for example, if there is a size that allows only an antenna or a leg to pass through, the touch structure or leg may protrude from the ventilation structure. The effect of the present invention may be impaired. Moreover, even if there is no such protrusion, it is possible that even if there is a slight amount of the pests inside, it can be visually recognized through the ventilation structure portion when viewed in the vicinity. For this reason, it is desirable that the dimensions of the vent structure be as small as possible. For example, in the case of cockroaches, if the diameter of the ventilation structure is within the range approximately equal to or less than the thickness of the antennae such as the cockroaches, it is difficult for the antennae and the like to protrude, and visually The pests are hard to see clearly. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving air permeability, it is desirable that the diameter of the ventilation structure is as large as possible within the range equal to or smaller than the thickness of the antenna as described above.

  As in this modification, it is difficult to see the antenna of the pest or the like from the outside even at a part of the main body excluding the opening, and a part of the pest is not easily visible from the outside, and fine ventilation is obtained. By forming the structure (pores), the active ingredient of the attractant can be released through the ventilation structure (pores), for example, in the case where the attractant of the inner space attracts a pest. Therefore, the attraction effect can be improved. In particular, as in the cockroach 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when only the opening 3 forming surface is open and has a high closing property, as described above in the surfaces other than the opening 3 forming surface It is preferable to form a small and fine ventilation structure (pores) because the release effect can be exerted even in a closed site where the active ingredient of the attractant should not be released.

  The cockroach catcher 41 which is an example of the insect trap concerning this modification is shown in FIG. The cockroach trap 41 shown in the figure is the same as the main body 2 according to the above embodiment except for the front wall 42F of the main body 42. The front wall 42F according to this modification is provided with a horizontally long rectangular through-hole occupying most of the front wall 42F with an area slightly smaller than the front wall 42F, and the entire surface of the through-hole is ventilated with a cloth. A vent 43 is formed so as to cover the membrane. The cloth constituting the ventilation part 43 has pores of about 0.01 to about 0.1 mm, and it is difficult for the antenna of the pest to protrude or even a part of the pest to be visually recognized from the outside, and good ventilation It has become an air permeable membrane that provides

  As the gas-permeable membrane according to this modification, in addition to the cloth as described above, for example, various nets, sieves, filters, etc. having pores of the same size are exemplified, or for example, at least at least the opening in the main body A configuration is also possible in which a large number of small vents are directly formed in a wall that constitutes a part of the structure.

(7) The cockroach catcher 1 according to the above embodiment is, as shown, for example, in FIG. 4, mainly configured to be disposed and used on a floor surface, the ground, etc. However, it may be installed in any position depending on the situation of the installation location. For example, if it is a place where the front and rear width sufficient to flatten the cockroach trap 1 cannot be secured, the cockroach trap 1 is tilted so that the front end is placed on the floor surface and the rear end is placed against the wall surface. It may be installed in a posture.

  Furthermore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, even if the bottom wall 2B is abutted from the side parallel to the wall surface F3 and the opening 3 is directed upward, the cockroach trap 1 is installed. Good. When the cockroach catcher 1 is installed like a wall hanging like this, for example, the bottom wall 2B may be fixed to the wall surface F3 with a stopper such as a pin, a hook or the like, or on the outer surface of the bottom wall 2B A removable adhesive portion is provided so as to be attached to the wall surface F3 or a magnet is disposed and fixed at an appropriate position on the bottom wall 2B so that it can be attached to a metal structure by a magnetic force. Or may be configured. In such a mode of use, for example, when the cockroach catcher 1 is attached with the opening 3 directed upward at a position slightly higher than the average eye height when the adult is in the standing posture, the cockroach 1 is used. It is desirable that the internal space of the trap 1 becomes more difficult to see.

  In addition, since it is possible to change the direction as described above, the opening does not necessarily have to be provided on the back surface of the main body, and may be formed on one of the six surfaces. Or, in other words, in the above description, based on the posture of the pest trap in the usage mode considered to be particularly preferable, the directionality as to which surface in the main body is the upper, lower, left, right, front and rear is defined. (Or the name of each face was set), but in principle, as described above, the directionality may be changed depending on the use situation, and therefore, the directionality (or the name of each face is not necessarily given) Does not have to be fixed.

(8) In the above embodiment, the main body 2 is made of cardboard. However, as a constituent material of the main body, for example, resin, metal, wood, or a combination of these two or more A sheet or a thin plate made of any material such as can be used. However, it is particularly desirable to use paper from the viewpoints of easy folding and disposal, light weight, and cost.

(9) The cockroach catcher 1 according to the above embodiment is configured to attract the cockroach by the attractant and enter the inner space and capture it by the adhesive layer, but as a means or configuration for capturing a pest Is not limited to such, and any may be used. Although a release paper may be attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, for example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive which hardly loses adhesiveness even when exposed for a long period of time, and the release paper is not attached. A configuration may be adopted, and according to this, it is possible to save the time and effort of assembling and to reduce generated dust. Furthermore, the formation mode of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may be partially formed on the inner surface (upper side) of the bottom wall of the main body, or on the inner surface (lower side) of the upper surface wall Further, depending on the shape of the main body, an adhesive layer may be formed on at least one of the inner surfaces of the opposing side walls so that the side walls can be adhered to each other. Good.

(10) In the above embodiment, the inclination angle of the step portion 2P is about 20 °, but the inclination angle of the step portion is preferably about 20 ° to about 30 °. If the inclination angle of the step portion is about 20 ° or more, the cockroach can be effectively dropped and captured on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the difference in height becomes large according to the inclination, thereby capturing It can make it difficult for cockroaches to escape to the outside. On the other hand, if the inclination angle of the step portion is about 30 ° or less, cockroaches easily step over the step portion from the outside and enter the inside of the main body.

(11) The cockroach capturing device 1 according to the above-described embodiment is particularly preferably configured to capture cockroaches such as black cockroaches, German cockroaches, and American cockroaches. For example, a cockroach other than a cockroach such as a centipede or a fly is used. Pests can also be captured. Therefore, for example, according to the pests specifically intended to be captured, or the species of cockroaches specifically intended to be captured among the cockroaches, that is, depending on the size and behavior of the pests to be captured mainly, You may make it change the structure of each part suitably. For example, the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the opening part, the extension width of the spacer part, and the like may be appropriately set in accordance with the dimensions and habits of the pests to be captured. Or, for example, a pest that is somewhat larger than the pest to be captured is assumed, and each part is configured according to the size, and the pest has a size approximately equal to or smaller than this larger pest. If it exists, the aspect of setting it as the structure which can capture suitably various pests including the pest mainly made into the capture object is also possible.

The present invention can be suitably applied as a pest trap such as a cockroach trap that captures cockroaches.
