fishing A01K69/00 - {A01K99/00}; biocides, pest repellants or attractants A01N); APPARATUS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF NOXIOUS ANIMALS OR NOXIOUS PLANTS ## Abstract The present invention refers to a Rotating Support for Insect Trap, in which the insect trap has a connection mechanism to be attached to a rotating support, thus having a trap that is not affected by movement, as the rotating support remains fixed to the insect trap and fixed and immobilized on the means of support, thereby achieving higher functionality of its components. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An insect trap, comprising: a cover, wherein the cover comprises: an upper part; and a coupling support extending from the upper part; and a rotating support, wherein the rotating support comprises: a longitudinal central element; a coupling element; and a support ring, wherein: the longitudinal central element includes a cylindrical body and a base, the base of the longitudinal central element includes a top surface and a bottom surface, the base of the longitudinal central element has a diameter larger than a diameter of the cylindrical body of the longitudinal central element, the cylindrical body of the longitudinal central element includes a lower support hole and an upper support hole, the upper support hole has a first diameter, the lower support hole has a second diameter, the first diameter of the upper support hole is larger than the second diameter of the lower support hole, the lower support hole is located below the upper support hole, the coupling element is a longitudinal vertical cylinder with an external surface, and the coupling element includes a hollowed-out space having a diameter larger than the diameter of the cylindrical body of the longitudinal central element, the coupling element is configured to couple together with the longitudinal central element by inserting the cylindrical body of the longitudinal central element within the hollowed-out space, and by passing the cylindrical body of the longitudinal central element through an opening of the coupling element, and the support ring is configured for insertion through the lower support hole and causes the longitudinal central element and the coupling element to be held together by preventing the coupling element from de-coupling from the longitudinal central element thereby allowing union of the longitudinal central element and the coupling element, wherein: the coupling element of the rotating support is configured to be connected to the coupling support of the cover with the coupling support of the cover being inserted into the hollowed-out space of the coupling element of the rotating support, and a diameter of an outer periphery of the cover is larger than an entire height of the coupling element of the rotating support. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the coupling element of the rotating support is fixedly connected to the coupling support of the cover. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the support ring is inserted into and through the lower support hole. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein a separation exists between the longitudinal central element and the coupling element. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The insect trap of claim 4, wherein the separation between the longitudinal central element and the coupling element allows for rotation between the longitudinal central element and the coupling element. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical body includes an upper section, an intermediate section, and a base section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The insect trap of claim 6, wherein the upper section defines an upper part of the upper support hole. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The insect trap of claim 6, wherein the intermediate section defines a lower part of the upper support hole and an upper part of the lower support hole. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The insect trap of claim 6, wherein the base section defines a lower part of the lower support hole and is attached to the base of the longitudinal central element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The insect trap of claim 6, wherein the intermediate section resides between the lower support hole and the upper support hole. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal central element is made of plastic materials with friction resistance. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the support ring allows for placement of a card holder configured to show warnings in relation to materials contained in the insect trap or signaling methods, according to use of the insect trap. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The insect trap of claim 12, wherein the upper support hole is configured to allow a hook, a rope, a wire, or a cable to be inserted in the upper support hole. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The insect trap of claim 12, wherein the upper support hole and the lower support hole have at least a circular shape. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the base of the longitudinal central element supports the coupling element and allows for rotation between the longitudinal central element and the coupling element. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the upper support hole defines a concave shape in a lateral view of the longitudinal central element. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The insect trap of claim 1, wherein the lower support hole defines a concave shape in a lateral view of the longitudinal central element.
