Abstract

An insect-catcher has a frame, a cover and a gathering base. The frame has an open top and a bottom. The top has at least one key mounted on the edge of the open top and protruding from the open top. The cover detachably covers the open top of the frame and has at least one light tube, a high-voltage net and at least one safety switch. Each safety switch has an activating lever aligning with the keyway and pressing against one key. The gathering base detachably connects to the bottom of the frame. The activating lever disengages from the key and turns off the high-voltage net when the cover separates from the frame so people will not get hurt.

Claims (35)

1. An insect-catcher having:

a frame having

an open top having

an edge;

at least one first fastener mounted on the edge of the open top; and

at least one key mounted on the edge of the open top and protruding upward;

a bottom having

an edge; and

at least one first connector mounted on the edge of the bottom;

a cover detachably covering the top of the frame and having

an inner space;

a bottom;

at least one light tube mounted on the bottom of the cover;

a high-voltage net mounted on the bottom of the cover and extending in the frame from the open top of the frame to the bottom of the frame;

at least one keyway corresponding respectively to the at least one key of the frame, defined in the bottom of the cover and respectively receiving the at least one key;

at least one safety switch mounted in the inner space of the cover and each of the at least one safety switch having an activating lever mounted on the safety switch and selectively pressing against a corresponding one of the at least one key;

at least one second fastener corresponding respectively to and connecting respectively to the at least one first fastener;

a gathering base detachably connecting to the bottom of the frame and having

an open top having an edge; and

at least one second connector mounted on the edge of the top and corresponding respectively to and connecting respectively to the first connector of the frame.

2. The insect-catcher as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the frame has two sides and at least one of the sides has a mounting hole;

each one of the at least one first fastener of the frame has

a recess formed in the top of the frame and near a corresponding mounting hole;

a clip being resilient, mounted in the recess, protruding from the top of the frame and having a hook;

a button extending in the corresponding mounting hole in the frame to enter the recess, contacting the clip and selectively pressing against the clip;

each one of the at least one second fastener of the cover has a hooked recess detachably receiving the clip of a corresponding one of the at least one first fastener and hooking the hook of the clip of the corresponding first fastener.

3. The insect-catcher as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the frame has two sides and at least one of the sides has a mounting hole;

each one of the at least one first connector has a hooked recess defined in the edge of the bottom of the frame;

the gathering base further has two sides and at least one of the sides has a mounting hole;

each one of the at least one second connector has

a recess formed in the top of the gathering base;

a clip being resilient, mounted in the recess, protruding from the top of the gathering base, extending in the hooked recess of a corresponding one of the at least one first connector and having a hook hooking the hooked recess of the corresponding first connector in the bottom of the frame;

a button extending in a corresponding mounting hole in the gathering base to enter the recess and selectively pressing against the clip.
