DE102008035038A1 - Box trap for catching small predators, has integrated and selectively adjustable pressure switch for carrying out activation of trap, where dropping flap is held and released by electromagnetic bolting device - Google Patents

Abstract

The box trap has an integrated and selectively adjustable pressure switch for carrying out an activation of the trap. The activation is carried out by a reversible light beam at a height, where the light beam is activated by an electronic sensor or a motion detector (14). A dropping flap (3) is held and released by an electromagnetic bolting device with cable link or permanent magnet (4).

Description

State of the art:

box traps are used in the hunting business to the robbery stocking a hunting ground to regulate.

Known Box traps are characterized in that they have a Have an outlet and in the middle a trigger in the form of a rocker which is located on an inside or outside wire rod works, which is connected to the trapdoors.

Or in the case a trigger wire which is mechanically connected to the fall flaps.

adversely with the seesaw is that the trap does not have a smooth passage, which affects the success of the catch. The linkage are difficult to adjust and on the outside poles weather-related Deadlocks can occur and the trap is insufficient is delineatible.

adversely is at trip wires, that these u. May be detected by the wild game, the trap therefore is shunned and the wires also often of mice destroyed become.

One Another disadvantage of the known systems is the setting and clamping the trap in the area. This often has to be under unfavorable weather conditions done (frost, snow wetness etc.). The hunter is common with stiff fingers not at all capable of returning the trap to an operational state to offset.

The common Systems all have the disadvantage of frequent false triggering by mice, rats etc. besides can do not catch them selectively. It should be caught the fox and the Marten triggers the trap out.

Known Box traps are characterized by a considerable size, thereby also requires a corresponding weight. Transportation and installation a trap for the fox (length about 2 m) is for one Person no longer affordable.

The invention and its advantages:

The The disadvantages described in the prior art are intended to be with the im following described two-part invention can be avoided.

The Fall flap is held by a Elektrozugmagneten in the State of tripping one Receives current pulse, thereby withdrawing its anchor and the flap releases. This eliminates all mechanical connections to the actual trap trigger. The flap lock is also on a new, not yet known type. On both sides of the flaps small iron angles are fixed, it falls Flip on the trap floor so the iron parts get into the field a, in the trap wall integrated permanent magnet. The magnetic connection is strong enough to prevent an animal from inside the flap press on can.

At a permanent magnet is attached to the fall flap, the flap is pulled upwards and connected to the armature of the pull magnet. This leaves the door hang in their horizontal position. When impulse on the electromagnet this attracts its anchor, which thereby detaches itself from the permanent magnet and releases the flap.

The Rocker or the trigger wires are replaced through a pressure release integrated into the trap floor. ever at the option of the micro-probe used is hereby a selective Catch (by animal weight) possible.

When trigger becomes one, in height switchable photocell used. A selective catch gives by the height of the body to catching game.

Becomes a conventional one Photocell uses the problem of a constant current flow at rest. To avoid this there is a light barrier Application that draws a negligible small current at rest. Will be a common Photocell used is a sensor on both openings of the trap (based on an electric field) or a motion detector installed which then activate the light barrier at the appropriate height.

Around to prevent that from triggering when an animal is in the trap the light barrier is constantly activated remains and thereby electricity over the electromagnets are flowing is in a flap a reed contact built in the fall of the Flap the system de-energized switches. This results in the further the possibility a signaling contact, by reed switch or tilt switch to activate the establish a telecommunications connection of any kind can. There is also the possibility at the enemas the trap to control a LED, so that the hunter to control no longer the Must enter the area surrounding the trap.

The use of electronic components eliminates the mechanical connection between the trigger and the flap holder. This opens up the possibility of dividing the box trap into individual segments and thus transport and installation robots lem to solve. For example, infeed-outlet center section with light barrier-any number of supplementary segments. To quickly and easily connect the segments of the trap in the area together permanent magnets are inserted at the end of the side parts, so that the items can be firmly connected to each other using a metal strip.

Instead of of individual segments, the light barrier system can fall into a trap frame be installed, which is individually transportable and only in one, constantly in the district located wooden body needs to be used.
