Abstract

The invention relates to a mouse trap (1) comprising a striking lid (10) which is linked to a base plate (2). Said lid can be brought to a catching position by means of the tension of a striker spring (20). The inventive mouse trap also comprises a trigger mechanism (5) embodied in the form of a seesaw, a slight tilting movement thereof releasing the striking lid (10) from the catching position, causing the striking lid (10), which is driven by the striker spring (20), to strike. The aim of the invention is to increase triggerability. In order to achieve this, the trigger mechanism (5) releases the striking lid (10) in both tilting directions.

Description

00001 Mousetrap 00002

The invention relates to a mouse trap with one

00004 of a base plate hinged flap cover _r the eiriher-

00005 going with the tensioning of a striking spring in a catch

00006 position can be brought, and designed with a rocker-like

00007 triggers, which with slight pivoting

00008 such the flip cover from the catch position

00009 releases the striking cover, from the striking spring

00010 driven, strikes. 00011

A mousetrap of the type in question is known

00013 from US 4,991,340, the trigger at the same time

00014 is the bait carrier. The mode of action of this mouse

00015 le is such that the trigger cap

00016 happens by one-sided loading of the trigger

00017, for example, by the mouse triggering

00018 burdened her eating attempt above. 00019

The object of the invention is based on the object

00021 de, a generic mouse trap with a simple structure

00022 to be designed so that increased safety against tripping

00023 is achieved. 00024

00025 This task is first and foremost

00026 a mousetrap with the features of claim 1

00027 solved, the focus being on the trigger

00028 releases the flip cover in both swivel directions. 00029

According to such a configuration is a mouse trap

00031 of the type in question of increased utility value

00032 specified. The security against tripping is considerably increased.

00033 When the trigger is loaded not only in one

00034 but also in the other direction

00035 be the flip cover. With to solve the invention 00036 would add the fact that the trigger

00037 closed flip cover one on the base plate

00038 arranged bait covered and when opening the blow

00039 deck ice is raised to the catch position. Accordingly,

00040, the flip cover fulfills a double function:

On the one hand, it serves to cover the on the base plate

00042 arranged bait and on the other hand as in both

00043 Directional trigger. For example, try

00044 getting the mouse to the bait enlarges it

00045 along with her head from the base plate and

00046 trigger included an angle

00047 release of the impact cover. However, it is triggered

00048 even if the mouse steps on the trigger and the

00049 aforementioned included angle reduced. The

00050 closing the body on the base plate

00051 ders through the flap also brings advantages when

00052 transport of the mouse trap, which is preferably when closed

00053 sen flap happens. Only by opening the

00054 flap is released by the trigger of the bait

Give 00055. The fact that

00056 the flip cover in the catch position in an overdead

00057 point location. The triggering or release

00058 of the same happens, as mentioned at the beginning, by

00059 relocation of the trigger either in one or in

00060 the other direction. For this purpose, the Aslö-

00061 ser two trigger sections, which depending on the swivel

Grip 00062 on the trigger cover in the direction of the trigger. in the

00063 detail, the trigger is constructed so that the trigger

00064 sections of the rocker arm covering the bait

00065 facing rocker arm are assigned. The function of the

00066 rocker arms is precisely defined. The one wip

00067 penarm is used to cover the bait during the

00068 other rocker arm forms the two trigger sections.

It should also be emphasized the fact that the

00070 impact cover has a rear extension 00071 which attacks one of the two trigger sections, and

00072 the other trigger section on a bearing side

00073 arranged attack attacks. The change is constructive

00074 effect of the trigger solved in that the

00075 rocker arm forming trigger sections fork-shaped

00076 is designed with a longer section, which

00077 on a lid arranged beyond the lid axis

00078 section, and a shorter section, which

00079 on a lid arranged on this side of the lid axis

00080 section works. To make a sensitive response

00081 the triggering of the clamping position of the impact

To ensure decker ice form the trigger sections

00083 bends with which the trigger on the

00084 striking cover attacks. Beneficial to use

00085 the fact that the bait is a permanent bait.

It should be emphasized here that the fact that the

00087 bait in a closed by the trigger in the lid-

00088 position closed bowl is arranged. closing

00089 lent is also to be emphasized that the trigger in the

00090 lid closed position by means of an inside lid

00091 protruding lead in the bowl closed-

00092 position is held. 00093

An embodiment of the invention is described below

00095 explained with reference to the drawings. It shows: 00096

00118 The mouse trap designated as a whole with the number 1

00119 has a base plate 2 rectangular floor plan.

00120 The base plate becomes approximately on both sides of the longitudinal axis

00121 protrudes in the middle by a bearing block 3, which

00122 laterally projecting bearing stub 4 of a rocker

00123 designed trigger 5. On both sides of the

00124 storage stub 4 accordingly forms the trigger 5 each

00125 rocker arm Wl and W2 off. Regarding the rocker arm Wl

00126 is the one that one on the base

00127 te 2 located bait 6. The bait 6 is

00128 designed as a permanent bait and is in one of the

00129 trigger 5 or its rocker arm Wl

00130 genen 7. The latter is the same material with the

00131 designed base plate 2 and has a circular

00132 floor plan. The inside of the bowl is divided by

00133 star-shaped webs 7 'in bowl sectors. 00134

00135 The rocker arm W2 opposite the rocker arm Wl

00136 forms two trigger sections 8, 9, which depending on

00137 pivoting direction of the trigger 5 on a striking cover

Attack 00138 10. The flip cover 10 is approximately bowl-like

00139 designed, the formwork floor of the base plate 2

00140 has turned away. The shell facing the base plate 2 00141 edge 11 forms a U-shaped striking edge 12

00142, which when slamming the flap on the

00143 mouse hits. With the flip cover 10 closed

00144 tet the shell edge 11 with the facing edge 13th

00145 of the base plate 2. 00146

00147 The flip cover 10 goes into an angled, rear

00148 waiting extension 14 over. This is in alignment with the

00149 catch position taking cover with the

00150 bait 6 opposite edge of the base plate 2. Zur

00151 storage of the flip cover 10 has two in

00152 lying on one level, made of the same material as the

00153 kel 10 projecting bearing webs 15, 16, each in one

00154 angular bearing recess 17 of the base plate 2

00155 fen. The storage niches 17 are formed from behind

00156 bearing blocks 3 arranged webs 18 of the base plate

00157 2. Between the bearing webs 15, 16, the striking

00158 kel 10 a material-uniform attack pin 19th

00159 for a striking spring 20 designed as a tension spring.

00160 The other end is fixed at one in the longitudinal

00161 axis of the base plate 2 pin projection

00162 21. By the tension spring-like impact spring 20 is the

00163 flip cover 10 with its webs 15, 16 in plant

00164 forced to camp niches 17

00165 th. By the engagement pin 19 and the pin protrusion

00166 jump 21 goes the dead center line T 'T, such that in

00167 the catch position of the blanket 10 this in one

00168 over dead center. This means that the warehouse

00169 point 22 slightly above the relevant dead center

00170 line T 'T lies, see Fig. 2. Formed

00171 is the bearing point 22 through the creation of the bearing webs

00172 15, 16 in the storage niches 17. 00173

00174 The rear extension 14 engages in the catch position

00175 development of the flip cover 10 of the longer trigger section 00176 8 on, while the other, shorter trigger release

00177 cut 9 on an extension 23 associated with the bearing

00178 takes effect. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4

00179 is that which forms the trigger sections 8, 9

00180 W2 rocker arm designed fork-shaped. The longer

00181 cut 8 is the one that goes beyond the

00182 kelachse arranged cover section 14 acts. The

00183 shorter trigger section 9, on the other hand, is used for

00184 striking the located on this side of the lid axis

00185 cover section. 00186

00187 If the lid 10 is in its closed position, see above

00188 covers the trigger 5 with its rocker arm Wl

00189 permanent bait 6.

00190 chert is this position by a cover inside

00191 protruding projection 24, which on the rocker arm Wl

00192, see in particular Fig. 5. 00193

00194 the flip cover 10 from its closed position

00195 raised to the catch position, so the

00196 flip cover 10 with its extensions 14, 23 which

00197 end trigger sections 8, 9 and pivoted accordingly

00198 the trigger 5 in a spread position to the base plate

00199 2, the rocker arm Wl releasing the bait 6, compare

00200 before Fig. 1 to 3. Simultaneously with this, the

00201 dead center position of the impact cover 10. Now the

00202 trigger 5 on his rocker arm Wl from the top

00203 area hit by a mouse, so the longer one

00204 trigger section 8 effective, which the pivoting

00205 of the flip cover 10 initiates connected with that

00206 the flip cover comes out of its dead center position.

00207 Along with the pivoting namely changes

00208 pin projection 21 its position such that the

00209 bearing point 22 of the flip cover 1 below the dead

00210 dotted line T 'T lies. The striking spring 20 can accordingly 00211 take effect, whereby the impact cover 10

00212 accelerated to the closed position, connected

00213 with a mouse kill. If opposed by the mouse

00214 the trigger 5 or the rocker arm W is raised

00215 ben is increased by increasing the open angle

00216 see base plate 2 and trigger 5, so acted on

00217 shorter trigger section 9 the extension 23 of the impact

00218 ice sheet and also leads to an abrupt

00219 swing the flip cover 10 in the closed

00220 position associated with killing the mouse. 00221

00222 To respond sensitively to the trigger sections

00223 8, 9 to ensure that these end-bend

00224 lungs 8 'and 9' respectively. 00225
