Description

The present invention relates to an electrode needle and an energized slaughter device. Specifically, when a captured animal is slaughtered or stunned by energization, the electrode needle attached to the tip of the operating tool that pierces the animal comes off the animal's body and cannot be energized or deformed. It relates to a device that suppresses damage or damage, and enhances safety by making it less dangerous to the operator who operates the operating tool.

For example, most of the animals captured in various traps such as cage-shaped box traps or foot traps need to be slaughtered (slaughtered). However, there are hunting prohibited areas in the hunting area, and it is not possible to fire blindly to cause fatal injury to animals.

Also, if you remove the key point and injure the animal halfway with a hammer or knife, the animal may rampage and become a burden, which is rather dangerous. Therefore, in many cases, a method is adopted in which the movement of the captured animal is restricted by a restraint such as a wire rope, and a knife is used to cause a fatal injury when the animal cannot move.

However, this method is still dangerous, and in recent years, a safer method for hunters has been recommended to pass an electric current through the captured animal to slaughter or stun it. It can be said that this slaughter by energization is a practical method in that the treatment can be performed in a very short time by using an operating tool or the like from a place sufficiently distant from the captured animal.

As such an energized slaughter device for animals, for example, there is a wild animal slaughter tool described in Patent Document 1. This slaughter tool has a metal needle part at the tip, which is a positive electrode part with a sharp tip, and has a grip part formed at the base end. It consists of a cord, a battery unit connected to the energization cord, a power supply boosting unit for boosting the DC voltage from the battery unit, a DC / AC inverter, and a power supply switch unit interposed in the middle of the energization cord.

In addition, the battery section, power booster section, and DC / AC inverter are housed in a case and configured to be carried on the back, and the power switch section is an energization cord that extends in parallel with the energization cord that connects the metal needle section and the DC / AC inverter. Is connected to the DC / AC inverter.

When slaughtering wild animals, the hunter holds the grip of the rod with one hand, the power switch with the other hand, and puts a metal net for storing the wild animals in the soil. When the hunter pierces the wild animal with the metal needle part of the rod with one hand and presses the switch button of the power switch part held by the other hand, the current cord is turned on from the DC / AC inverter. , Metal needles, wild animals, metal nets and closed circuits in which current flows in this order are configured to kill wild animals.

Japanese Patent No. 5678750

However, the wild animal slaughter tool described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems. That is, the metal needle portion for energization is fixed to the tip of the rod body. As shown in each figure of Patent Document 1, this metal needle portion is simply a needle shape with a sharp tip, and even if it is stabbed in the body of an animal, it can be easily pulled out if the animal is severely violent. It ends up. For this reason, the timing of energization was missed, and in many cases slaughter did not go well because energization could not be performed.

As a countermeasure, when a hunter operates the rod body and pierces the metal needle part into the body surface (skin) of the animal, if the metal needle part is pressed strongly so as not to come off, the animal will be violently affected by the pain. Since it moves, there is a problem that the metal needle portion is deformed or damaged, and then the tool cannot be used.

Furthermore, if the animal moves violently with the metal needle stuck in the animal as described above, the rod body will be strongly flipped, and the hunter with the rod body will fall or be hit by the rod body. Then, there was a high risk of getting injured.

Moreover, this slaughter tool is grounded to the ground in advance via a metal net, or water is sprinkled to improve the electrical conductivity, and the animals are energized in that state, so hunting especially in rainy weather. If a person falls over, the switch may be turned on by mistake, and there is a considerable possibility that the hunter may get an electric shock on the wet ground, and there is also a problem in safety.

The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and when the captured animal is slaughtered by energization, the electrode needle attached to the tip of the operating tool, which pierces the animal, comes off from the animal body. Electrode needles and energized slaughter equipment that prevent the operator from being disengaged, unable to energize, deforming, or being damaged, and making it less dangerous to the operator who operates the operating tool. The purpose is to provide.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a detachable member that can be attached to and detached from the operating tool, a needle portion that is formed of a conductive material and has a sharp tip and can be attached to the detachable member, and the needle. A retaining portion formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the portion toward the base end, having a hooking portion having a larger transfer than the portion of the needle portion, and being formed so as to narrow in the direction of the needle tip. It is an electrode needle provided with a needle body to have.

The electrode needle can be attached to and detached from the operating tool by the detachable member. The retaining portion provided on the needle body has a portion that narrows in the direction of the needle tip, so that the diameter of the retaining portion gradually increases even when the needle body is pierced into the body surface of the animal and the retaining portion penetrates the skin. Because it becomes large, there is not so much resistance and it can be pierced relatively smoothly. The constricted portion may be provided over the entire length of the retaining portion, or may be provided in a part of the retaining portion as long as it does not interfere with the insertion.

Further, since the retaining portion has a hooking portion having a larger (or larger diameter) extension than the needle body, the hooking portion of the retaining portion penetrates the skin portion and exceeds the skin portion as the electrode needle is pierced. By the way, when the widened hole of the skin portion contracts slightly, the hooked portion is caught by the hole edge of the skin portion in the pulling direction, and the electrode needle stops coming off. Then, when the operating tool is pulled toward the hand, the electrode needle is separated from the operating tool and remains on the body surface of the animal because the electrode needle has stopped coming off.

Further, the retaining portion is formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the needle body toward the proximal end, and the position where the electrode needle has stopped coming off is a position where the needle tip is deep under the skin of the animal to some extent. It reaches the nerves (peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, etc.) that pass through. Nerves transmit various types of information for life support, and stop the life activities of animals in a very short time by energizing the nerves of animals with a required amount of electric current to cause electric shock. Can be done.

(2) In the present invention, the hooking portion may be formed at the end portion of the retaining portion in the proximal end direction of the needle portion.

In this case, after piercing the animal's body surface by passing the hook through the skin, when the electrode needle moves in the pull-out direction as the animal moves, it first hits the hole edge of the skin. It is a hooking portion of this end portion, and the needle tip can be maintained in a state of being pierced to a predetermined depth under the skin. Further, when the hooking portion is formed at the end of the needle body of the retaining portion in the proximal direction, the length from the hooking portion to the needle tip (tip) is shortened while maintaining the functionality. be able to.

(3) In the present invention, the hooking portion may be provided at a plurality of locations in the length direction of the needle portion.

In this case, since the hooks are provided at a plurality of locations in the length direction of the needle body, the electrode needle is pierced into the body surface of the animal and once stopped, then temporarily through the hole in the skin. Even if the hooking portion is pulled out, there is a high possibility that the hooking portion will be stopped again by another hooking portion in the direction of the needle tip, and it will be possible to prevent the hooking portion more reliably.

(4) The present invention may have a configuration in which the distance from the tip of the needle portion to the end of the retaining portion on the base end side of the needle portion is 33 to 37 mm or 44 to 48 mm.

In this case, the electrode needle having a distance from the tip of the needle body to the end on the proximal end side of 33 to 37 mm can correspond to the depth of the subcutaneous nerve of the cub of the animal to be captured such as a wild boar. Further, the electrode needle of 44 to 48 mm can cope with the depth of the subcutaneous nerve of an adult animal to be captured such as a wild boar.

As a result, when the electrode needle pierces the body surface of the animal and is stopped by the retaining part, the needle tip of the needle, whether it is a cub or an adult, reaches the nerve under the skin sufficiently, so that it is energized. The slaughter can be done more reliably. Although the adult use can also be used for the cub, it is preferable to make the electrode needle for the cub in order to make the electrode needle smaller and eliminate waste.

(5) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a power supply unit having a battery, a DC / AC inverter to which the battery is connected to an input side, and an output side of the DC / AC inverter of the power supply unit. An electric wire having deformability on the positive side (or non-grounded side) of the cable connected to the cable is connected, and can be separated from the tip portion via the electric wire on the positive side while maintaining an energizable state. The positive side energizing operation tool of the required length having the electrode needle formed in the above manner, and the negative side (or the ground side) of the cable connected to the output side of the DC / AC inverter of the power supply unit. The minus side of the required length is connected to a deformable wire and has an electrode needle at the tip that is formed so that it can be separated while maintaining a state in which it can be energized via the minus side wire. It is equipped with an energization operation tool, a start switch for switching between energization and disconnection of one or both of the positive side electric wire of the positive side energization operation tool and the negative side electric wire of the negative side energization operation tool, and each of the electrode needles. Is a detachable member that can be attached to and detached from the operating tool, a needle portion that is formed of a conductive material and has a pointed tip, and a needle portion that can be attached to the detachable member. It is an energized slaughter device provided with a hook body formed at a position and having a hook portion having a larger transfer than the portion of the needle portion and having a retaining portion formed so as to narrow in the direction of the needle tip. ..

In the power supply unit of the energized slaughter device of the present invention, the direct current of the battery can be converted into an alternating current of a required frequency by a DC / AC inverter. Further, the positive side energizing operation tool can supply the alternating current output from the DC / AC inverter to the electrode needle via the electric wire. The electrode needle constitutes a positive-side energizing operation tool, but can be separated from the attached portion.

The state in which the electrode needle can be energized via the electric wire is maintained even when the electrode needle is separated. In addition, since the electric wire is deformed, even if the positional relationship between the separated electrode needle and the positive side energizing operation tool changes, it should be within the required range, for example, within the range where the electric wire can reach, or within the range where the electric wire can be deformed. For example, it is possible to maintain a state in which electricity can be supplied.

Further, as described in the action of (1) above, the electrode needle is pierced into the body surface of the animal so that the needle tip has a required depth, and then it is stopped by the retaining portion. Even if the electric wire is pulled a little by the movement of the animal, it does not easily come off, and the animal can be disposed of by energization without any trouble.

The negative side energization operating tool can drop the alternating current supplied through the electric wire of the positive side energizing operation tool to the ground side of the circuit via the electric wire by conducting each electrode needle of each operating tool. The electrode needle constitutes a negative-side energizing operation tool and can be separated from the attached portion.

The state in which the electrode needle can be energized via the electric wire is maintained even when the electrode needle is separated. In addition, since the electric wire is deformed, even if the positional relationship between the separated electrode needle and the negative side energizing operation tool changes, it is possible to maintain the energizing state within the required range. This is the same as for the operating tool.

Since the start switch can switch between energization and disconnection of one or both of the positive side electric wire of the positive side energization operation tool and the negative side electric wire of the negative side energization operation tool, the timing determined by the hunter to operate It is possible to energize (ON) and shut off (OFF) the energization.

In addition, if the activation switch is provided on both sides of the energization operation tool, it can be used as a safety device to ensure the safety of hunters when the activation switch is accidentally turned on due to dropping or contact of the energization operation tool. be. That is, if the start switches of both energization operating tools are turned off, even if one of the start switches is turned on in the above case, the power is not turned on unless both start switches are turned on at the same time, so that the safety is high.

In the slaughter of animals using the energized slaughter device of the present invention, for example, animals such as wild boars caught in a trap such as a foot slaughter trap and connected by a wire rope are used for further restraining wire ropes. The risk to hunters who slaughter, etc. is reduced in advance by restraining the animals by using such as.

The hunter operates the negative side energization operating tool in a relatively safe place slightly away from the animal, and pierces the negative side electrode needle into the hind legs of the restrained animal. Further, the positive side energization operation tool is operated at a place slightly away from the animal, and the positive side electrode needle is pierced under the ear of the restrained animal.

Next, while maintaining the state in which each electrode needle is pierced and the state in which each electrode needle can be energized via each electric wire, operations such as pulling the plus side energization operation tool and the minus side energization operation tool are performed to perform operations such as pulling each electrode. Separate the needle. As a result, each electrode needle pierced and fixed to the animal and each energization operation tool possessed by the hunter (the electrode needle is detached) were connected so as to be energizable via a deformable electric wire. It becomes a state.

In this state, turn on the start switch and energize the positive wire to create a closed circuit through which the current passes through the animal. That is, the current sent to the electrode needle through the positive side electric wire connected to the positive side energizing operation tool passes through the animal's body and further flows to the negative side electric wire in the negative side energizing operation tool to be grounded. Get an electric shock. By adjusting the amount of current, voltage, energization time, etc. at this time, the degree of disposal of the animal, that is, whether it is slaughtered, or whether it is stunned for utilization and put into a state of asphyxia capable of exsanguination, etc. You can choose.

In addition, even if the animal violently moves before energization or violently moves due to the shock of energization, part or all of the movement is absorbed by the movement of each electric wire while deforming, so each energization operation tool. It is possible to suppress the transmission to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electrode needle from being deformed or damaged. In addition, it is possible to reduce the risk that a hunter holding the operating tool may be injured by falling or being hit by the operating tool due to the strong flipping of each energizing operating tool as in the conventional case.

In addition, by arranging the start switch in a place where the hunter can reach the energizing operation tool, it is possible to quickly energize the electric wire connected to the electrode at the most suitable timing. Depending on the situation, it can be stopped without energizing, so it is possible to work more reliably and safely.

(6) In the present invention, an extra length portion is provided on one or both of the plus side electric wire and the minus side electric wire, and the extra length portion can enter and exit the corresponding energization operating tool to the outside. It may be a pulled-out configuration.

In this case, the extra length provided on the electric wire is a part that allows the electric wire to have a margin so that it can be separated to the required position when the electrode needle is separated, and it is possible to enter and exit each energizing operation tool. It has been pulled out to the outside. As a result, in addition to each action of (5) above, the movement when the electrode needle separates and separates from each energizing operation tool is absorbed by the extra length portion being pulled inward up to the preset interval. Therefore, the impact and force caused by the electrode needle being separated and the electric wire being pulled are suppressed from being applied to each energizing operation tool.

(7) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a needle portion which is made of a conductive material and has a pointed tip and has a structure that can be attached to an operating tool of an energized slaughter device, and the needle. It is formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the portion toward the base end, has a hooking portion having a larger transfer than the portion of the needle portion, and has a portion that narrows in the direction of the needle tip. It is an electrode needle provided with a retaining portion.

The electrode needle has a retaining portion provided on the needle body that narrows in the direction of the needle tip, so that the needle body can be pierced into the body surface of an animal and the retaining portion can penetrate the skin. Since the diameter gradually increases, there is no great resistance and the needle can be pierced relatively smoothly.

In addition, since the retaining portion has a hooking portion that is larger than the needle body, the hooking portion of the retaining portion penetrates the skin portion and extends beyond the skin portion due to the piercing of the electrode needle. When the hole that had been formed contracts slightly, the hooking portion is caught by the hole edge of the skin in the pulling direction, and the electrode needle stops pulling out. Then, when the operating tool is pulled toward the hand, the electrode needle is separated from the operating tool and remains on the body surface of the animal because the electrode needle has stopped coming off.

Further, the retaining portion is formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the needle body toward the proximal end, and the electrode needle is at a position where the electrode needle has stopped coming off, and the needle tip is at a certain depth under the skin of the animal. It is designed to reach the nerves that go to. Nerves transmit various types of information for life support, and stop the life activities of animals in a very short time by energizing the nerves of animals with a required amount of electric current to cause electric shock. Can be done.

In the present invention, when a captured animal is slaughtered by energization, the electrode needle attached to the tip of the operating tool that pierces the animal comes off from the animal's body and cannot be energized, or is deformed. It is possible to provide an electrode needle and an energized slaughter device that suppresses damage and enhances safety by making the operator who operates the operating tool less dangerous.

A first embodiment of the energized slaughter device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The energized slaughter device A includes a power supply unit 1, a positive side energizing operation tool 2, and a negative side energizing operating tool 3. Hereinafter, each part will be described in detail.

(Power supply unit 1)
The power supply unit 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped case 10. A 12V battery (not shown) and a 100V, 240A DC / AC inverter are housed and fixed inside the case 10. Further, the positive and negative poles of the battery are connected to the input side of the DC / AC inverter. The specifications of the battery and the DC / AC inverter can be appropriately adopted according to the animal to be disposed of. Further, the power supply unit 1 may be provided with a booster for boosting the voltage from the battery.

Further, on the upper surface of the case 10, a power switch 11 which is a start switch capable of turning on / off the DC / AC inverter is provided. On the rear side surface of the case 10, a positive side outlet 12 for outputting AC power and a negative side outlet 13 are provided. The case 10 is provided with a portable shoulder belt 14 and a waist belt 15 near both ends of the upper portion.

The case 10 may have a fixing tool or a fixing tool for attaching the case 10 to the rod portion 20 of the positive side energizing operating tool 2 described later. In addition to the one-sided switch, the power switch 11 may employ, for example, a push button type switch that is easy to operate so that the switch can be turned off quickly in the unlikely event.

The positive side electric wire 16 connected to the positive side energizing operation tool 2 to be described later is connected to the positive side outlet 12 by inserting a plug (reference numeral omitted) provided at the base end portion. Further, the minus side electric wire 17 connected to the minus side energization operation tool 3 is connected to the minus side outlet 13 by inserting a plug (reference numeral omitted) provided at the base end portion. The positive side electric wire 16 and the negative side electric wire 17 are deformable and can bend freely.

(Plus side energizing operation tool 2)
The positive-side energizing operation tool 2 has a rod portion 20 formed of a synthetic resin (for example, polyvinyl chloride or the like) which is an insulator. The rod portion 20 is formed of a circular tube having sufficient rigidity, and is set to a required length (for example, about 2000 mm). The length of the rod portion 20 (the same applies to the rod portion 30 described later) is not particularly limited and can be appropriately set. In addition, the rod portion can be made to have a structure that can be freely expanded and contracted.

An electrode needle 4 is detachably attached to the tip of the rod portion 20 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The electrode needle 4 is composed of a metal attachment / detachment member 40 which is a conductive material, and a needle body 44 which is also made of metal and has a sharp tip and is attached to the attachment / detachment member 40. The detachable member 40 has a base portion 41 that is slightly tightly fitted to the tip portion of the rod portion 20, a fixing portion 42 having a diameter larger than that of the base portion 41, and a fixing portion 43 to which the needle body 44 is fixed. The detachable member 40 can be temporarily fixed by fitting the base 41 into the tip of the rod 20.

Mainly refer to FIG.
The needle body 44 has a needle portion 440. A retaining portion 441 is formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the needle portion 440 toward the proximal end. The retaining portion 441 has a larger width (or diameter) than the diameter of the portion of the needle body 44 where the retaining portion 441 is provided, and has a circular hooking portion 442, which narrows from the hooking portion 442 toward the needle tip. It is formed like this. That is, the retaining portion 441 is formed in a shape substantially similar to a conical base.

The distance from the tip of the needle portion 440 to the end of the retaining portion 441 on the base end side of the needle portion 440 of the electrode needle 4 is set to 46 mm, for example, for an adult animal when the target animal is a wild boar. However, it is also possible to set this dimension to, for example, 35 mm and use it for cubs. Further, this dimension is not limited to the above, and can be appropriately set according to the target animal.

The base side of the electrode needle 4 is inserted from the tip of the fixing portion 43, fixed by a set screw 430, and electrically connected. Further, the outer diameter of the base portion 41 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rod portion 20, and is slightly tightly fitted to the tip portion of the rod portion 20 as described above. The strength of this fitting does not easily separate due to its own weight or the like during handling. For example, after piercing the animal with the electrode needle 4, the positive side energization operating tool 2 is operated to pull it out to the animal's body surface. The strength is set so that the electrode needle 4 can be separated from the rod portion 20 while the stopped electrode needle 4 is left as it is.

The structure for separating the rod portion 20 and the electrode needle 4 is not limited to this structure. For example, a required locking structure is adopted between the rod body 20 and the electrode needle 4, and the positive side energization operating tool is used. Various known structures can be adopted, such as releasing the locked state and separating the locked state by the operation at hand. A cap 46 is detachably attached to the electrode needle 4 fixed to the detachable member 40 for safety. The cap 46 is made of metal and has a structure that can be fixed to the needle body 44 by tightening the thumbscrew 460.

Further, the tip end portion of the positive side electric wire 16 is fixed to the base portion 41 of the detachable member 40 by a set screw 410 and is electrically connected. The positive-side electric wire 16 is introduced into the rod body 20 from the base of the positive-side energizing operation tool 2 (see FIG. 1), passes through the inside, and is connected to the detachable member 40 as described above. A start switch 22 is provided in the path of the positive side electric wire 16. The introduction portion of the positive side electric wire 16 is fixed to the rod tail tool 24 screwed to the base end portion of the rod body 20.

The start switch 22 is a push button type that can be switched ON / OFF, and is fixed to a joint 23 provided near the base of the rod body 20 so that the hunter can easily operate the switch 22. In the rod body 20, slightly closer to the tip than the joint 23, drawer holes 200 and 201 for pulling out a part of the positive side electric wire 16 to the outside of the rod body 20 are provided through the peripheral wall (reference numeral omitted). There is.

The positive side electric wire 16 is set inside the rod body 20 so as to be longer than the length of the rod body 20 by a required length. This long set portion is the extra length portion 160, which is set to about 600 mm in the present embodiment. The length of the extra length portion 160 is not limited to this length, and can be appropriately set. The extra length portion 160 is pulled out from the drawer holes 200 and 201 in a loop shape. In addition, in FIG. 1 and the like, a reference numeral is given as an extra length portion for convenience, but since the extra length portion means a portion having a margin in length, it does not necessarily appear only here.

The drawer holes 200 and 201 are provided on the bottom surface of the rod body 20, that is, on the lower side (the side opposite to the start switch 22) in FIG. This makes it easy for the hunter to operate the activation switch 22 with his thumb, and when he holds the positive side energizing operation tool 2, he holds the extra length portion 160 pulled out from the drawer holes 200 and 201 with his other fingers. This is to make it easier. However, the formation positions of the drawer holes 200 and 201 are not limited to this, and can be appropriately set.

Further, the drawer holes 200 and 201 are provided independently so as not to be connected, and are elongated holes provided in parallel with the axial direction of the rod body 20, respectively. The drawer holes 200 and 201 have different lengths, the drawer hole 200 on the hand side is short, and the drawer hole 201 on the tip side is formed to be slightly longer than that, but the combination is not particularly limited. Further, the inner side of the hole edges of the drawer holes 200 and 201 is processed into a slope so that the positive side electric wire 16 can easily slide.

(Minus side energization operation tool 3)
The negative side energizing operation tool 3 has substantially the same structure as the positive side energizing operating tool 2 except that the electric wire connected from the power supply unit 1 is changed to the negative side electric wire 17 (see FIG. 1). That is, the negative side energization operating tool 3 has a rod portion 30. An electrode needle 4 similar to that of the positive-side energizing operation tool 2 is detachably attached to the tip of the rod portion 30.

The needle body 44 is fixed to the fixing portion 43 by a set screw 430 and is electrically connected. The outer diameter of the base portion 41 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rod portion 30, and is slightly tightly fitted to the tip portion of the rod portion 30. The strength of this fitting does not easily separate due to its own weight or the like during handling. For example, after piercing the animal with the electrode needle 4, the negative side energization operating tool 3 is operated to pull it out to the animal's body surface. The strength is set so that the electrode needle 4 can be separated from the rod portion 30 while the stopped electrode needle 4 is left as it is.

A cap 46 is detachably attached to the needle body 44 fixed to the detachable member 40 for safety. The cap 46 can be fixed to the needle body 44 by tightening the thumbscrew 460. The tip of the minus side electric wire 17 is fixed to the base 41 of the detachable member 40 by a set screw 410 and is electrically connected.

The minus side electric wire 17 is introduced into the inside of the rod body 30 from the base of the minus side energization operation tool 3, passes through the inside, and is connected to the detachable member 40 as described above. A start switch 32 is provided in the path of the minus side electric wire 17. The introduction portion of the negative side electric wire 17 is fixed to the rod tail tool 34 screwed to the base end portion of the rod body 30.

The start switch 32 is fixed to a joint 33 provided near the base of the rod body 30 so that the hunter can easily operate the switch 32. In the rod body 30, slightly closer to the tip than the joint 33, drawer holes 300 and 301 for pulling out a part of the minus side electric wire 17 to the outside of the rod body 30 are provided. The minus side electric wire 17 has an extra length portion 170, and is drawn out in a loop shape from the drawer holes 300 and 301 to the outside.

It should be noted that it is possible to provide a notification function such that the lamp blinks or the buzzer sounds according to the energized state by operating the start switches 22 and 32. By appropriately setting the blinking of the lamp and the ringing cycle (time) of the buzzer, it is possible for the hunter to measure the energizing time by counting the number of times the lamp blinks and the number of times the buzzer sounds. .. In this way, by having a notification function for notifying that energization has started or that energization has started, the energization state is transmitted to the assistant even when there is an assistant other than the hunter who operates the device, for example. Therefore, you will be able to work more safely.

(Action)
The method and operation of the energized slaughter device A will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
In FIGS. 4 and 5, a case where a wild boar 7 is slaughtered by being caught in a foot trap (not shown) and connected to a standing tree 6 or the like by three wire ropes 5, 5a and 5b is described as an example. do. Appropriate tension is applied to the wire ropes 5, 5a and 5b in each direction, and the wild boar 7 cannot move freely.

When slaughtering the captured wild boar 7, not only the wire rope 5 of the foot trap but also the wire rope 5a for restraint is connected to the wild boar 7. In this work, first, a binding ring 50 is formed at the tip of the wire rope 5a, and when this is brought close to the tip of the nose of the wild boar 7 using a long rod or the like, the wire rope 5a is immediately pulled and tied. This can be done relatively easily by squeezing the ring 50 and tying the upper jaw.

Then, although the description is omitted in detail, using a known tool 51, a rope 5b is connected to the hind legs of the wild boar 7, and this is connected to another standing tree (not shown), and the wild boar 7 is connected from two sides. By pulling, it is restrained so that it cannot move.

In addition, in FIGS. 4 and 5, for convenience of illustration, each wire rope 5 and 5a is shown relatively short, but in practice, it is considerably long, and the work of holding the binding ring 50 into the wild boar 7 and the like. The work of connecting the rope 5b can be safely performed from a position sufficiently distant from the wild boar 7. In this way, the movement of the wild boar 7 is surely restricted to reduce the risk to the hunter in advance.

Next, the hunter prepares for slaughter work using the energized slaughter device A in a safe place away from the wild boar 7. First, the power switch 11 of the power supply unit 1 of the energized slaughter device A is turned on. The start switches 22 and 32 of the positive side energization operation tool 2 and the negative side energization operation tool 3 are turned off in advance for safety. In this state, the electrode needles 4 of the energization operating tools 2 and 3 are not energized.

Next, the negative side energization operation tool 3 is operated to pierce the hind legs of the wild boar 7 with the electrode needle 4, and the positive side energization operation tool 2 is operated to the place where the nerve under the ear of the wild boar 7 passes. The electrode needle 4 is pierced. The order of piercing is not particularly limited and may be reversed. Further, since the wild boar 7 is restrained and cannot move freely, the work of piercing each electrode needle 4 can be easily performed.

By piercing the body surface of the wild boar 7 with the electrode needle 4 in this way, the needle body 44 penetrates the skin 70 and enters the subcutaneous meat portion 71. The retaining portion 441 of the needle body 44 has a portion that narrows in the direction of the needle tip, and when penetrating the skin portion 70 of the wild boar 7, the diameter gradually increases in the hole portion of the skin portion 70. There is no great resistance and it can be pierced relatively smoothly. When the retaining portion 441 penetrates the skin portion 70, the tip portion of the needle body 44 reaches the nerve 72 passing under the skin of the wild boar 7 (see FIG. 6). In addition, the widened hole (reference numeral omitted) in the skin 70 slightly shrinks.

Then, when the hunter immediately pulls the plus side energization operation tool 2 and the minus side energization operation tool 3, each electrode needle 4 keeps sticking to the body surface and is on the plus side. While maintaining a state in which each electrode needle 4 can be energized via the electric wire 16 and the negative side electric wire 17, it is separated from the rod bodies 20 and 30 and remains on the body surface of the wild boar 7. At this time, even if a strong pulling force acts on each electrode needle 4 and tries to move in the pulling direction, the hooking portion 442 is hooked on the hole edge of the inner surface of the skin portion 70 on the meat portion 71 side. It stops coming off against force and does not come off easily (see Fig. 6).

In particular, when the electrode needle 4 is inserted at a right angle to the skin portion 7 and the pulling direction by the electric wire is at an angle with respect to the electrode needle 4, the engagement of the retaining portion 441 with respect to the skin portion 7 becomes stronger, so that the electrode needle 4 The resistance to the dropout becomes stronger.

The retaining portion 441 of the needle body 44 is formed at a position at a required distance from the tip of the needle body 44 toward the proximal end, and the needle tip is at the position where the electrode needle has stopped coming off. As described above, it reaches the nerve 72 (peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, etc.) that passes through a certain depth under the skin of the wild boar 7. The nerve 72 is responsible for transmitting various types of information for life support.

As a result, the electric wires 16 and 17 are pulled, and the wires can be pulled out from the tip until the extra length portions 160 and 170 are pulled into the rod bodies 20 and 30 and all of them are stored. The positive side energizing operation tool 2 and the negative side energizing operating tool 3 have each electrode needle 4 and a new extra by the length that each electric wire 16 and 17 can be drawn out (the length of each extra length portion 160 and 170). It can be separated by a distance corresponding to the lengths of the long portions 160a and 170a (see FIG. 5).

In this way, each of the electrode needles 4 remaining pierced by the wild boar 7, and the positive side energization operation tool 2 and the negative side energization operation tool 3 that the hunter has with the electrode needle 4 removed are deformable. It is in a state of being connected so as to be energized via the electric wires 16 and 17 having the same. If the electrode needle 4 stuck in the wild boar 7 is pulled out for some reason, the electrode needle can be fitted into the tip of the rod by pulling the extra length of the wire on the side where the needle is pulled out. It is possible to stab the wild boar 7 again.

When the start switches 22 and 32 are turned on in this state and the electric wire on the positive side is energized, a closed circuit in which the current passes through the wild boar 7 is created. That is, the current sent to the electrode needle 4 through the positive side electric wire 16 connected to the positive side energizing operation tool 2 passes through the body of the wild boar 7 and further flows to the negative side electric wire 17 of the negative side energizing operation tool 3 to be grounded. As a result, the wild boar 7 is electrocuted, and the life activity of the wild boar 7 can be stopped in a very short time.

Further, in the above work, even if the wild boar 7 violently moves before being energized or violently moves due to a shock of energization, a part or all of the movement is absorbed by the deformation of the electric wires 16 and 17. Therefore, it is possible to suppress transmission to each of the energization operating tools 2 and 3, and it is possible to suppress deformation or damage of each electrode needle 4.

As a result, it is possible to prevent or prevent the energized slaughter device from becoming unusable due to damage to the electrode needle 4 or the like. Further, as in the conventional case, each energizing operation tool 2 or 3 is strongly flipped, and a hunter having each energizing operation tool 2 or 3 falls or is hit by each energizing operation tool 2 or 3. It can also reduce the risk of injury.

In this way, if the energized slaughter device A is used, as described above, even if the wild boar 7 is caught in a foot trap and is connected by a wire rope 5, the hunter can keep his / her own safety. It is possible to slaughter while trying to.

For example, when an animal is captured by a cage-shaped box trap made of iron, the clipping cable (not shown) can be replaced with the electrode needle 31 of the negative side energization operation tool 3 and connected, and the clip of the clipping cable can be connected. Can be grounded by connecting it to a box trap on the ground. In this case, if the electrode needle 21 of the positive side energizing operation tool 2 on the side where the clipping cable is not connected is brought into contact with the animal to energize, a closed circuit is formed through the body of the animal touching the box trap. , Animals can be electrocuted.

Further, the wild boar 7 can be electrocuted or stunned by appropriately adjusting the place where the wild boar 7 is energized, the voltage and capacity of the current passing through the body, or the energization time. For example, when energization is performed between the mouth and neck of an animal for the required time, the brain is mainly electrocuted and becomes asphyxial. In that case, it is suitable for utilization (especially edible). Furthermore, if electricity is applied between the mouth of the animal and the hind and forefoot, the heart will be electrocuted and stopped in a short time, which is useful for quick slaughter.

The energized slaughter device is provided with an extra length portion in which one or both of the plus side electric wire 16 and the minus side electric wire 17 can be expanded and contracted, and the extra length portion can be accessed by the corresponding energization operating tools 2 and 3. It may be a housed configuration.

In this case, the stretchable extra length portion provided on each of the electric wires 16 and 17 is a portion where the electric wires 16 and 17 have a margin so that the electrode needle 4 can be separated to a required position when the electrode needle 4 is separated. It is housed in the energizing operation tools 2 and 3 so as to be accessible. As a result, when the electrode needle separates and separates from each energizing operation tool, the extra length is absorbed by extending the extra length up to a preset interval, so that the impact caused by the electrode needle separating and pulling the electric wire is obtained. And force is suppressed from reaching each energizing operation tool.

Further, when the electrode needle is returned to each energizing operation tool, the electric wire can be shortened and stored inside. In this state, the extra length of the electric wire is less likely to be caught by a tree branch or the like when handling the energizing operation tool, and it is easy to work in the mountains.
