Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for controlling the bugs that swarm a light bulb consists of a centrifugal fan, a funnel, a light bulb, an electrical contact base, and a collection bin. The funnel is mounted adjacent the centrifugal fan and helps channel the airflow towards the centrifugal fan. A motor transfers rotational motion to the centrifugal fan. Both the motor and the light bulb are powered through the electrical contact base. The centrifugal fan directs the airflow towards the collection bin through an outlet duct. An impeller of the centrifugal fan opens an entrance of the collection bin. When the impeller is stationary, a trapdoor conceals the entrance. The collection bin is removably attached so that it can be removed according to user preference.
