PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cage for capturing a wild animal, in which a wire, which is laid across a cage body while being pulled in good balance, suspends right and left closing panels through a scale disposed to a support pillar, and when a harmful animal is captured by a trapping string, pulling force is released from a prop to a wire holding stick, while tension of the V-shaped wire is lost, and the scale loses its balance to release each closing panel, and thus the suspended closing panels immediately fall down by their own weights to close right and left openings at the same time.SOLUTION: Closing panels 2, 2 are held so as to be freely moved up and down by guide rails 7, 7 provided to both sides of right and left openings 11, 11 of a cage body 1. Tension relationship of a trap is kept via the scales 6, 6 provided in supports 5, 5 erected on the upper sides of the openings 11, 11 of the cage body 1 while continuing from the wire 13 to a wire holding stick 16 and further by the prop 17. When a harmful animal is captured by a trapping string 18, the prop 17 is took off, all the balancing states are lost, the closing panels 2, 2 are fallen down to the ground, and at the same time a locking mechanism works to prevent the closing panels 2, 2 from being lifted up.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】檻本体に張設されたワイヤーは支柱に設けられた天秤を介して左右の閉鎖パネルを懸吊しバランスよく張設され、罠紐に害獣が掛かると突支い棒からワイヤー保持棒へと張設が解放されて、V字型のワイヤーは張力を失い、天秤はバランスを崩して閉鎖パネルを解放するので宙吊りの閉鎖パネルは自重で一気に落下し開口部を左右同時に閉鎖する野生動物捕獲檻を提供する。【解決手段】閉鎖パネル2、2は檻本体1の左右の開口部の11、11の両サイドに設けられたガイドレール7に昇降自在に抱持され檻本体1の開口部11,11の上側に立設された支柱5、5に設けられた天秤6、6を介してワイヤー13からワイヤー保持棒16へと続き更に突支い棒17で罠の緊張関係が保たれている、害獣が罠紐18に掛かると突支い棒17が外されすべてのバランスが崩れて閉鎖パネル2、2が落下して着地と同時にロック機構が作動して閉鎖パネル2、2の持ち上げを阻止する。【選択図】図1
