Abstract

FIELD: live animal catching equipment. SUBSTANCE: live animal trap has anchor device with eyelet, retainer made in the form of lock, loop fixed with its one end in lock, and weight rigidly fixed in other end of loop, which is passed through eyelet of anchor device. Pyrotechnic cartridge is positioned between weight and striking mechanism. Retainers are attached to loop part. Trap of such construction allows live animals to be caught without damage and it may be also used for capturing infringers of the law. EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified construction. 3 dwg

Description

 The field of technology.

 The spider live trap (hereinafter referred to as the device) is intended for catching animals alive, as well as for catching offenders.

 The prior art.

 The applicant is not known analogues. A trap can be considered close to the analogue according to the method of catching the animal (grab by the leg).

 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

 The device can be used to catch wild animals alive without causing bodily harm, which is essential in terms of humanity and the suitability of animals for resettlement or for scientific purposes.

 The device may be applicable for the capture of offenders in the territory of protected objects.

 Depending on the modification of the device and the installation method, the capture can be made by the leg, neck, torso or arm.

A significant (fundamental) difference between the device and the trap is as follows:
- the trap has a rigid structure that injures the leg of the animal and in 80% of cases leads to a fracture of the bones of the limb;
- the trap has a small footprint;
- the trap is difficult to disguise and does not work in conditions of ice and falling asleep with a layer of snow;
- the trap is bulky;
- a trap for catching ungulates is not applicable in principle;
- the trap is unacceptable for catching the offender, since it can lead to disability.

 Depending on the size of the animals caught, the device may have modifications: “sable”, “fox”, “wolf”, “wild boar”, “elk”, “bear”, “hippo”, “elephant”, and also “felix” (for capture of the offender).

 Different models differ in the diameter of the loop cable (rope), the size and strength of the parts, and the power of the squib. However, the deer, wolf, and bear traps are possible.

The schematic diagram of the device is as follows:
- capture (capture) of the animal is made by a loop of a steel or nylon cable after triggering the guard;
- tightening the loop is carried out by a weight (100-200 g) ejected by a low power squib;
- the cable is fixed in the tightened loop mode by a special lock that prevents loosening of the loop, but allows the loop to be pulled further;
- depending on the set angle of the direction of the ejection of the weight, the capture of the object by the loop can be carried out at different heights from the ground (surface);
- when installing an additional clamp, it is possible to set a certain value for the minimum diameter of the loop, which makes it possible to trap the animal by the neck, excluding its strangulation.

 The device is made of steel parts.

 Perhaps the use of plastics, synthetics and composite materials.

 Information confirming the possibility of carrying out the invention.

The device has the following design and action technology (for example, the model "Elk"):
1. Fishing loop 1 (figure 1) is made of a steel cable with a diameter of 4 mm (or synthetic, equivalent strength). The capture diameter (i.e., the diameter of the watch loop) when catching the leg, depending on the conditions of capture, can be from 30 to 90 cm, and when catching the neck (taking into account the size of the horns) up to 3 m. One end of the loop cable is firmly fixed in the lock loop 2 (figure 2). A throwing weight 3 is attached to the other end of the loop cable (Fig. 3). The loop is formed when the cable passes through the lock during the manufacture or assembly of the device.

The lock (figure 2) consists of a housing 7 (figure 2), a spring 8 (figure 2), a hole 9 (figure 2), in which one end of the cable 5 (figure 2) of the loop, the guide cone 10 ( figure 2)
After triggering the gatehouse and trigger 12 (Fig. 1), the percussion mechanism 13 (Fig. 1) activates the squib 14 (Fig. 1), which throws a throwing weight 3 (Fig. 1, Fig. 3), which pulls the cable through the lock 2 (Fig. 1). After fully tightening the loop, the spring 8 (FIG. 2) prevents loosening of the loop (increasing its diameter and removing it from the object) due to the stop in the ring clips 4 (FIG. 2).

 To fix the tightened loop on the part of the cable close to the lock, there are ring clamps 4 (Fig. 1) attached by crimping or soldering to the cable 5 (Fig. 2) (after 20 mm - the option "by foot" and after 80 mm - option "behind the neck").

 Between the tightening part of the loop 11 and the weight, the throwing cable is passed through the eye of the anchor (tethered) device 6 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2), which does not allow the caught object to leave the place of capture.

 This device (weight with a tethered cable about 2 kg) was tested when catching an aggressive bear weighing about 150 kg. In addition, the author personally tested the device on himself.

 The person was caught by the leg (in the boot) without causing bodily harm. The release of the legs from the loop is possible only with a special tool or the destruction of the cable.

Claims (1)

 A live trap, including a loop, trigger and percussion mechanisms, as well as a locking device, characterized in that it is equipped with an anchor device with an eye, and the locking device is made in the form of a lock in which one end of the loop is rigidly fixed, and to the second end passed through the eye an anchor device, a weight is attached, between which a percussion cartridge is placed with the percussion mechanism, while latches are fixed to the loop part.
