Description Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nesting box for birds, in particular a nesting box which is easy to clean.
Background Many bird species that rely on burrows for burrowing today lack natural nesting sites. These birds have been helped for years with nesting boxes, which are hung at a certain height above the ground. The minimum height recommended for most bird species is 1.8 m above the ground, with many nest boxes at a height of approximately 3.5 m.
In order to protect the birds from disease, these nesting boxes must be kept clean, i. These must be cleaned periodically. In common nesting boxes, especially those that are mounted at a high altitude, this cleaning is a problem because they are difficult to reach, or to open, so this often can not be done without a ladder.
In US 2012/0 012 066 A1 an incubator with folding bottom is described, in which the bottom is fastened on the one hand by means of magnetic closure to the rest of the housing, on the other hand by means of a rotary joint. While this nesting box is easy to clean thanks to the revealable floor, it features, among other things. the disadvantage that it is very expensive to produce and can only be opened by means of a special Hackens.
The aim of the present invention was therefore to provide a light and inexpensive to manufacture, even with suspension at a great height from the ground easy to open and clean and / or to be disinfected nesting box.
Summary of the Invention [0006] This object has been achieved by providing a nesting box with a hinged floor according to claim 1.
The inventive nesting box comprises a hollow body forming a box part with an interior and a Einflugloch, and a roof part and a bottom part, wherein the bottom part is designed as a folding floor, so that when intended suspension, seen in the direction of gravity, the box part relative to the bottom part at least has in some areas a supernatant that the supernatant of the box part is such, but the all-round coverage of the interior of the box part is ensured by the bottom part, in other words, the extension of the bottom part is at least in some areas less than the extension of the at Bottom part adjacent region of the box part, but the extension of the bottom part is such that it allows the all-round cover against the box part. That the adjacent to the bottom part of the area or adjacent to the bottom part of the end of the box part overlaps on all sides with the bottom part or is partially even congruent with it. When intended suspension in plan view from below, the edges of the bottom part are at least partially within the bottom narrow sides of the box part, wherein optionally a part edges of the bottom part with the edges of the box part can be congruent or coincide.
With a narrow side is in the context of this invention that side of a wall of the box part or of the roof part or the bottom part referred to, which corresponds to the thickness of the respective wall or the respective part.
Further, the bottom part by means of at least one, on the one hand on one of its narrow sides, on the other hand on the supernatant of the corresponding bottom side narrow side of the box part hinged attached unilaterally connected to the box part and the bottom part is - this at least one hinge opposite - by means of at least one magnetic closure detachable connected to the box part.
Nesting boxes may have different geometries, the usual geometry of the bottom part and at least the voltage applied to the bottom portion of the box part, preferably the entire box part, when viewed in the normal direction suspension in the direction of gravity, is rectangular, i. the interior cavity, which is open towards the roof part and the bottom part, is preferably substantially parallelepiped-shaped, wherein the wall thicknesses can vary if necessary. In such an embodiment, the box part comprises a front wall, parallel to a rear wall and connecting these walls at right angles two side walls.
An often encountered alternative geometry is round, or a substantially designed as a hollow cylinder box part and a round or slightly oval bottom part. In the context of this invention, the above-mentioned wall designations are used in such an embodiment, wherein the front wall, the rear wall and the two side walls each make up about 1/4 of the circumference.
Nest boxes made of wood are highly preferred because wood has good insulation properties and is readily accepted by the birds. To improve the cleaning and the weather resistance, the wood is preferably impregnated inside and outside. The preferred impregnating agent is pure linseed oil (colorless, available, for example, in Switzerland from Migros DO IT + Garden), since it is safe for the birds.
Also possible but less preferred materials that could replace the wood in whole or in part or that could also be used are plastic and metal. So it would be e.g. possible to provide the roof part and / or the weather side of the box part with a weatherproof cover made of plastic or metal.
One half of the magnetic closure is mounted in the box part, opposite the at least one hinge, the other half in the bottom part. This can be done in a simple manner by drilling a hole in the wood the size of the respective magnet and the magnet is glued by means of an adhesive, such as liquid wood. Permanent magnets (NdFeB (neodymium iron boron)) with a diameter of 6 mm and a height of 8 mm or a diameter of 8 mm and a height of 5 mm (eg available from Maurer Magnetic AG, Industriestrasse 8, CH-1) have proven suitable. 8627 Grüningen).
In order to increase the load capacity of the soil or if smaller magnets are preferred due to the dimensions, it may also be useful to provide more than one magnetic closure or more than one magnet per magnetic closure, such as two superposed magnetic poles per closure side.
Under liquid wood or liquid wood is understood a mass that is used for repairing damaged areas in the wood, for example, the type or in the color of fir, beech, etc. A corresponding mass for Auskitten of cracks, branch -, screw and nail holes can be edited after drying like wood. Such a product is e.g. manufactured in the Netherlands and marketed by the Migros Cooperative Alliance, CH-8031 Zurich.
Suitable hinges are furniture hinges, furniture hinges or rod hinges of appropriate length, with furniture hinges are currently preferred. Such hinges are usually made of metal, which is also preferred in the context of the present invention.
The smaller extension of the bottom part has the advantage that rain or condensation water drips at the lower end of the box part without wetting the bottom part. As a result, the interior of the nesting box, in particular the area around a nest possibly located therein, can be kept drier. However, in the field of magnetic fasteners, in order to reduce the risk of wall cracking around the magnets, it may be necessary to reduce the difference in expansion or increase the wall thickness of the box member in the corresponding area, however, to increase the weight of the box Nesting box leads.
Usually, the box part relative to the bottom part on the side of the at least one hinge on a projection of at least about 5 mm and preferably the supernatant of the box part on all four sides is at least 5 mm. For example, with a wall thickness of the box part of 15 mm, the supernatant may vary in the range of 3 mm to 10 mm, the overlap accordingly in a range of "wall thickness - projection" = 12 mm to 5 mm.
For the wood preferred wall thicknesses of about 15 mm with a rectangular cross-section has on the hinge side, with conventional suspension preferably on the weather side, by about 5 to 10 mm, in particular 8 to 10 mm, recessed bottom part or Supernatant of the box part as preferred. On the opposite side containing the magnet (s), depending on the dimension of the magnet (s), a bottom part recessed by 3 to 7 mm is preferred, on the front side provided with the entry hole a set back by 5 to 10 mm Bottom part and on the back provided with a fastening device by 5 to 10 mm set back base part, wherein - depending on the type of fastening device - 8 to 10 mm are preferred.
In special cases, it may also be useful to vary the wall thickness of the box part, the 15 mm are due to experience in terms of resistance, insulating properties and weight for most applications optimal. If necessary, however, e.g. the provided with magnetic closure side of the box part are thicker, so that - despite still sufficient wall thickness to the magnets - larger magnets can be introduced and / or a larger projection of the box part is achieved with sufficient or better coverage of the box part with the bottom part, as the supernatant prevents too much wetting of the soil during rain and the cover or overlap of the seal of the nest box interior is used.
As already mentioned above, the nest boxes according to the invention can be impregnated outside and inside, e.g. with pure linseed oil, so that water rinses well and the cleaning and / or disinfection (especially by means of soft soapy water) is facilitated.
Thus, the nest box is easy to assemble, it is preferred to provide this on the rear wall with a suspension bar as a fastening device which protrudes at least over the roof part, preferably on the roof and the bottom part. This suspension bar may be provided with mounting aids, such as openings for fasteners, such as screws, e.g. Angular screws, wood screws, or nails or dowels. Preferred openings are a Aufhängeschlitz above and a hole for additional fixation below.
In addition, it is preferred that the roof part on at least three and preferably three sides (front and side walls) beyond the box part and is arranged obliquely, such that water runs to the front end and dripping over the over the box part protruding edges , On the front of this supernatant is preferably so large that a mounted on the bottom part seat or gripping bar is covered.
In a preferred embodiment, the box part does not close on all sides closely to the ceiling part but the box part is designed so that between the front wall and the roof part and between the rear wall and the roof part, a column is present, i. the roof part rests only on the side walls. The box part can thus have walls of different lengths or, if the suspension is mounted as intended, height such as a front wall of a height X provided with the entry hole, a rear wall of a height X + Y and side walls with height rising from the front wall to the rear wall (from X + Z to X + Z). Depending on the design of the ventilation openings, Z = 0 or Z> 0. Similarly, Y = Z ', but usually Y <Z'. At Z = 0 and Y = Z ', there are no vents. When Z> 0 and Y <Z front and rear ventilation openings are in the form of columns, with a partial coverage of the gap between the rear wall and roof part can be done by the suspension bar.
In addition, the box part of the nesting box may be structured outside the entry hole and / or inside on one or more walls (to facilitate feeding), so that the birds are able to hold on more easily.
Thus, the nest box can be cleaned and / or disinfected without the use of a ladder, this must be able to be opened by means of a tool. Ideal for this is a chopping on a long rod, which engages in an opening aid on the bottom part, preferably magnetic closure side. Such an opening aid could be an eyelet or tab, but in a preferred embodiment is a seat or gripping bar. Such does not have to be arranged directly at the magnetic lock or closures, but may extend on the bottom part, magnetic closure side beyond the front side of the box part.
In a preferred embodiment, the hinges or the magnetic closure are arranged in the region of the side walls. When using e.g. a furniture hinge, which is attached on the one hand to the - when properly suspension - vertically arranged narrow side of the bottom part, on the other hand on the opposite projection of the bottom side narrow side of the box part, the bottom unfolds unhindered until it abuts the bottom end of the box part. In this position, not only the interior of the box part is freely accessible but also the bottom part can be easily cleaned and / or disinfected.
In order for the person wishing to clean the nesting box not to have to carry various long tools, it is preferable if e.g. the hoe is replaceable against a brush.
Likewise provided by the present invention is an opening and cleaning aid for nesting boxes with a long handle and a brush end mounted on the handle end and arranged in the region of the handle end but stem side of the brush part heels, especially an opening and cleaning aid for nest boxes in which Brush part or the brush part and the hooks are interchangeable attached to the stem.
Preferably, the stem of the opening and cleaning aid is a telescopic handle.
If brush part or brush part and heels are replaceable at the same time, a brush part resp. a brush part with hooks are provided as a spare part, which is designed such that it is exchangeable to a long handle, in particular a telescopic handle, attachable.
E in nesting box according to the invention may be present as part of a set, which includes suitable fastening means, such as at least one angle wood screw and at least two semi-circular wood screw with washers, and / or an opening and cleaning aid, optionally with replacement brushes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Further embodiments, advantages and applications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the following description with reference to the figures. Showing:
1 is a side view, a side elevation of an inventive nesting box with a closed bottom (solid lines) and in the unfolded state (broken lines),
Fig. 2 is a front view, an elevation of the nesting box according to FIG. 1 and
Fig. 3 the nesting box according to FIGS. 1 and 2 from below.
Way (s) for carrying out the invention The invention will now be explained in more detail for the nesting box shown in the figures.
Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a preferred embodiment of a nesting box 1 according to the invention with egg nem substantially, i. with the exception of the roof-side end, cuboid box part 2, a roof part 3 and a rectangular bottom part 4 in closed (solid lines) and unfolded state (double-dotted lines .......).
The bottom part 4 is provided with a seat or gripping bar 8 as an opening aid and on one side by means of hinges 5 inextricably connected to the bottom end or the supernatant of a side wall 22a of the box part 2. The hinges 5 are anchored on the one hand to the narrow side of the bottom part 4, which is arranged perpendicularly when the suspension is intended, and on the other hand to the projecting, narrow bottom part of the box part 2 (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
On the opposite side of the hinges 5, the bottom part 4 by means of a magnetic closure 6 is detachably connected to the bottom part near the narrow side of the second side wall 22b. The magnetic closure 6 is designed such that the one magnetic pole is embedded in a hole in the bottom part, e.g. is glued, the other pole in a hole in the overlapping area of the one, the magnetic closure side side wall 22b of the box part 2 (see Fig. 2). Depending on the holding force of the magnets, there may be a plurality of magnets per hole, or else a plurality of holes containing one or more magnets per magnet side wall 22b or bottom part 4.
The box part 2 is formed at a square design by a front wall 21, a rear wall 23 and these walls connecting side walls 22. In cylindrical design of the box part and round or slightly oval shape of the bottom part 3 (not shown), each wall takes about 1 / 4 of the scope.
In the preferred embodiment shown, the front wall 21 and the rear wall 23 -in the case of appropriate suspension - a slightly lower height than the side walls, the rear wall does not necessarily have the same height as the front wall, but roof part side preferably can be a bit higher. As a result, a gap or ventilation opening 9 is formed between the upper edge of the front wall 21 or its roof part side narrow side and the roof part 3 and between the upper edge of the rear wall 23 and the roof part side narrow side and the roof part 3. This ventilation opening prevents heat accumulation inside the nesting box. This vent 9 is partially closed on the back wall side by the suspension bar 7, which is connected to the rear wall 23 and the roof part 3 and preferably also projects over the bottom part 4, so that openings 71 can be mounted in these protruding parts, which serve to accommodate fasteners. In a preferred embodiment, the opening above the roof part is slit-shaped to receive an angle wood screw. The slot-shaped design makes it possible in the same opening 71 also a fastening screw, e.g. a semi-circular wood screw with washer, to be installed, since it must be prevented that the nest box begins to swing in storm or even lifted out of the holder. Another fastening screw can be mounted in an opening 71 below the bottom part 4.
In an alternative embodiment, a two-part suspension bar 7 may be provided, such that the rear wall is not covered by this over the entire height. For reasons of stability but a continuous suspension bar 7 is preferred.
The bottom part 4 is set back from the bottom area or end of the box part 2, such that in plan view from below the edges of the bottom part 4 within the edges of the box part 2 and inside the bottom sides are narrow sides, wherein the distance from the outside 24 of the hinge-side side wall 22a to the hinge-side edge of the bottom part 4, 41 is the largest or the same size as the corresponding distance of the outside 24 of the front wall 21 and the rear wall 23 to the corresponding edges of the bottom part 4. Furthermore, the corresponding distance of the magnet closure side outside 24 of the magnet closure side edge of the bottom part 4, 42 may be smaller, since this side is preferably the side facing away from the weather side in the usual suspension and thus the magnets safely, ie with sufficient wall thickness around the holes, can be attached.
The distance from the inside 25 of the bottom edge of the box part 2 to the edges of the bottom part 4 should be at least 3 mm on all sides, preferably at least 5 mm.
While preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the present application, it should be clearly understood that the invention is not limited to these and may be practiced otherwise within the scope of the following claims.
