Mouse trap with capacitive sensor - uses sensor to control release electromagnet for hinged plate above smooth-side container

摘要: The mouse trap uses a smooth-sided container (1) with straight or inwards tapering sides embedded in the ground partially covered at top by hinged plate (3) held horizontal position via an electromagnetically-released latch (6). operating electromagnet (4) is controlled capacitive sensor (7) incorporated (3), upon detection of mouse, to allow latter fall into (1). trapped then killed CO2 gas, automatic resetting electric motor. Pref. opening shielded cover (12) pref. provided acoustic coder adjacent (3). ADVANTAGE - Reliable seizure and destruction mice.
