With reference to
The frame (10) has an open top (11) and a bottom.
The open top (11) has an edge, two sides, at least one first fastener and at least one key (12). At least one of the sides may have a mounting hole (15). The at least one first fastener is mounted on the edge of the open top (11) and each of the at least one first fastener may have a recess (16), a clip (13) and a button (18). The recess (16) is formed in the top of the frame (10) and communicates with the mounting hole (15). The clip (13) is resilient, is mounted in the recess (16), protrudes from the top of the frame (10) and has a hook. The button (18) extends in the mounting hole (15) in one side of the frame (10) to enter the recess (16), contacts the clip (13) and selectively presses against the clip (13). When users press the button (18), the button (18) will press against the clip (13) in the recess (16) and the clip (13) will be moved inward. In an alternative embodiment, each of the at least one first fastener may be a hooked recess defined in the edge of the top. The at least one key (12) is mounted on the edge of the open top (11) and protrudes upward.
The bottom has an edge and at least one first connector (14). The at least one first connector (14) is mounted on the edge of the bottom and each of the at least one first connector may be a hooked recess. The hooked recess is defined in the bottom. In an alternative embodiment, each of the at least one first connector may comprise a recess, a clip and a button. The recess is formed in the bottom of the frame (10). The clip is resilient, is mounted in the recess, protrudes from the bottom of the frame (10) and has a hook. The button extends in the mounting hole in one side of the frame (10) to enter the recess, contacts the clip and selectively press against the clip. When users presses the button, the button will press against the clip in the recess and the clip will be moved inward.
With further reference to
At least one of the two sides may have a mounting hole.
The at least one light tube (31) is mounted on the bottom of the cover (30) and is brightened when electrified.
The high-voltage net (32) is mounted on the bottom of the cover (30) and extends in the frame (10) from the open top (11) of the frame (10) to the bottom of the frame (10) and generates high voltage when electrified.
The at least one keyway (36) corresponds to the at least one key (12) of the frame (10), extends in the bottom of the cover (30) and the least one keyway (36) respectively receives the at least one key (12).
The at least one safety switch (34) is mounted in the inner space of the cover (30) and each of the at least one safety switch (34) has an activating lever (33). The activating lever (33) is pivotally mounted on the safety switch (34), aligns with one of the at least one keyway (36) and selectively presses against a corresponding one of the at least one key (12). The activating lever (33) separates from the key (12), the safety switch (34) is turned off and electricity can not enter the high-voltage net (32) when the cover (30) disengages from the frame (10). The activating lever (33) presses against the key (12), the safety switch (34) is turned on and electricity can enter the high-voltage net (32) when the cover (30) is mounted on the frame (10) securely and the key (12) extends through the keyway (36).
The at least one second fastener corresponds respectively to and connects respectively to the at least one first fastener and each of the least one second fastener may be a hooked recess (35). The hooked recess (35) is defined in the bottom of the cover (30) and detachably receives the clip (13) of a corresponding one of the at least one first fastener and hooks the hook of the clip (13) of the corresponding first fastener. The hooked recess (35) and the clip (13) separate from each other and the cover (30) is disengaged from the frame (10) when users presses the button (18) of the at least one first fastener. In an alternative embodiment, each of the at least one second fastener may have a recess, a clip and a button when the first fastener is a hooked recess. The recess is formed in the bottom of the cover (30). The clip is resilient, is mounted in the recess, protrudes from the bottom of the recess (30), extends in the hooked recess of a corresponding one of the at least one first fastener and has a hook. The button extends in the mounting hole in one side of the cover (30) to enter the recess, contacts the clip and selectively presses against the clip. When users presses the button, the button will press against the clip in the recess and the clip will be moved inward and disengage from the hooked recess. Therefore, the cover (30) separates from the frame (10).
The gathering base (20) connects detachably to the bottom of the frame (10) to gather remains of insects and has an open top, two sides and at least one second connector. The open top has an edge. Each of the at least one of the two sides may have a mounting hole. The at least one second connector is mounted on the edge of the open top, corresponds respectively to and connects respectively to the at least one first connector and each of the at least one second connector may have a recess (22), a clip (23) and a button (21). The recess (22) is formed in the open top of the gathering base (20). The clip (23) is resilient, is mounted in the recess (22), protrudes from the top of the gathering base (20), extends in the hooked recess (14) of a corresponding one of the first connector and has a hook. The hook hooks the hooked recess (14) of the bottom of the frame (10). The button (21) extends in the mounting hole of one side of the gathering base (20) to enter the recess (22), contacts the clip (23) and selectively presses against the clip (23). When users presses the button (21), the button (21) will press against the clip (23) and the clip (23) will be bent and disengage from the hooked recess (14), so the gathering base (20) separates from the frame (10). In an alternative embodiment, each of the at least one second connector may be a hooked recess if the first connector comprises a recess, a clip and a button. The hooked recess corresponds to and detachably receives the clip of the corresponding first connector and hooks the hook of the clip. The hooked recess and the clip disengage from each other when users press the button of the clip and the cover (30) separates from the frame (10).
The frame (10) and the gathering base (20) can engage with or disengage from each other by the at least one first connector of the frame (10) and the at least one second connector of the base (20) so the gathering base is detachable. The gathering base (20) can disengage from the frame (10) to be clean conveniently. Furthermore, electricity can pass the light tube (31) and the high-voltage net (32) only when the cover (30) securely covers the frame (10) and the key (12) extends through the keyway (3636) to press against one of the activating lever (33) and allow the activating lever (33) moves to turn on the safety switch (34). Thus, when the cover (30) disengages from and the frame (10), electricity does not pass the high-voltage net (32) and users will not get hurt.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
