Rotational blue light beam deer fly eliminator
View Patent ↗A motor-driven tubular hollow cylindrical partial mask component surrounds a central vertical blue light and rotates around the blue light. The hollow cylindrical partial mask blacks out a major portion of the blue light. A single vertical transparent slit in the partial mask admits blue light out to form a 360 degree scanning vertical beam of blue light as the partial mask rotates to attract deer flies, bell hornets and other flying insects. The flying insects enter through a surrounding exterior electrified cage to be electrically zapped and exterminated.
1. An outdoor flying insect trap device for attracting and exterminating flying insects, the device comprising:
a blue light for attracting flying insects;
a rotating partial mask surrounding the blue light, the partial mask comprising a light-proof hollow cylinder positioned vertically so that the hollow cylinder surrounds the blue light, the hollow cylinder having at least one opening through a portion of the wall of the cylinder to admit light from the blue light through the at least one opening, the hollow cylinder being continually rotated around the blue light by a motor communicating with the hollow cylinder so that a beam of blue light shines out through the at least one opening to form a three hundred sixty degree scanning beam of blue light through the at least one opening as the hollow cylinder rotates around the blue light;
an insect exterminating cage surrounding the blue light and rotating partial mask, the insect exterminating cage charged by an electric current so that when a flying insect attempts to fly through the insect exterminating cage to get to the blue light, the flying insect is killed by the electric current in the insect exterminating cage, thereby forming an outdoor flying insect trap device for attracting and exterminating flying insects.
2. The device of claim 1 further comprising means for hanging the outdoor flying insect device to an external structure for elevating the device.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one opening comprises a single vertical slit opening to admit the blue light out of the vertical slit opening.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein the motor communicating with the hollow cylinder comprises an electric motor positioned below the hollow cylinder to rotate the hollow cylinder around the blue light.
