Abstract
An insect vacuum and trap attachment system can include a tubular member having an elongate channel that extends along an outer surface of the tubular member. The system can also include a suction member that slideably receives the tubular member. The suction member can have a narrowed open tip that receives insects and a stem that extends along at least an outer surface of the suction member. The stem can be slideably received by the elongate channel to enable the suction member to slide with respect to the tubular member. The system can include a catch that protrudes from the stem. The catch may be arranged and configured to receive a portion of an insect filter pod and thereby couple the insect filter pod between the tubular member and the suction member.
Claims20
An insect vacuum and trap attachment system arranged and configured to couple to a vacuum, the system comprising:
- a tubular member elongate along a first direction, the tubular member having a first open end, a second open end opposite the first open end, an elongate sidewall that extends between the first open end and the second open end, and an elongate channel that extends along an outer surface of the elongate sidewall;
- a suction member that slideably receives the first open end of the tubular member, the suction member having a narrowed open tip that receives insects, a bottom open end opposite the narrowed open tip, a shortened sidewall that extends between the narrowed open tip and the bottom open end, and a stem that extends along at least an outer surface of the shortened sidewall, the stem slideably received by the elongate channel to enable the suction member to slide along the first direction with respect to the tubular member;
- and
- a catch protruding from the stem, the catch arranged and configured to receive a portion of an insect filter pod and thereby eject the insect filter pod from the system.
