The invention concerns a method and device for removing ticks from humans and animals. The device comprises: a base part (1) with at least one opening (2a, 2b), a thread loop (6) of resilient material which is arranged to be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b) under the effect of a spring member (5). The cross section of this opening relative to the thread loop (6) is such that the loop (6) outside the opening (2a, 2b), whilst being drawn thereinto, gradually decreases in size. Operatively connected to the thread loop (6) is a member (4, 4a) arranged such that, against the effect of the spring member (5), it shoots the thread loop (6) out of the opening (2a, 2b). According to the method of the invention, owing to pressure being exerted on the pushbutton (4a), the loop (6) is ejected from the opening (2a, 2b), laid around the tick and, since pressure is no longer exerted on the pushbutton (4a), can be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b). The loop (6) is then rotated one turn and the tick releases its grip within approximately three seconds.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour enlever les tiques présentes sur l'homme et les animaux. Le dispositif comprend: une partie de base (1) avec au moins une ouverture (2a, 2b) et une boucle (6) constituée d'un filament en un matériau souple qui est prévu pour être tiré dans l'ouverture (2a, 2b) sous l'effet d'un élément de ressort (5). La section transversale de cette ouverture par rapport à la boucle (6) constituée d'un filament est telle que la boucle (6) à l'extérieur de l'ouverture (2a, 2b) diminue progressivement de taille à mesure qu'elle est tirée à l'intérieur. Un élément (4, 4a) est relié physiquement à la boucle (6) constituée d'un filament pour que, contre l'effet de l'élément de ressort (5), il projette la boucle (6) constituée d'un filament hors de l'ouverture (2a, 2b). Selon le procédé de l'invention, grâce à la pression exercée sur le bouton-poussoir (4a), la boucle (6) est éjectée hors de l'ouverture (2a, 2b), posée autour de la tique et, lorsque la pression n'est plus exercée sur le bouton-poussoir (4a), elle revient dans l'ouverture (2a, 2b). L'utilisateur fait alors subir à la boucle (6) une rotation complète et la tique lâche sa prise en trois secondes environ.
