PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mousetrap that can easily guide and surely capture mouses by compensating the defects of conventional adhesive type and falling type mousetraps.SOLUTION: The mousetrap is a type of guiding a mouse into a box without using a spring to confine the mouse by dropping an inner box when the mouse touches bait. Since the mousetrap does not make the mouse suspicious, capturing is easy. A mechanism that causes the inner box to drop using the movement of the mouse attracted by the smell of the bait is employed to confine and capture the mouse.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の粘着型、落下式のネズミ捕りの欠陥を補い、ネズミの誘導が容易で、確実に捕獲するネズミ捕りを提供する。【解決手段】バネを使用せず、箱に誘導して、エサに触れれば内箱が落下して閉じ込めるタイプであり、ネズミの警戒心を引き起こさないため、捕獲が容易に行える。エサのニオイにつられたねずみの動きを利用して内箱が落下する仕組みを施し、ネズミを閉じ込め捕獲する。【選択図】図6
