Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To collapse a large or small square can by hand or foot, by arranging a pressurizing part between the stopper members provided near the center of the base, installing a pressurizing part also near the center of the pressing lever, arranging a stopper member in front of the spacer installed freely attachably and detachably on the base, and providing a pressurizing part also on the base side of the pressing lever. SOLUTION: With a spacer 10 removed, a large square waste can is inserted between stopper members 7, 7 and placed above the bottom pressurizing member 8. With a pressurizing lever 3 pressed downward by hand or foot, the top and the bottom face 6a, 6b of the large square waste can 6 are formed with triangular dents 6a', 6b' by the upper and bottom pressurizing members 9, 8. The half-collapsed large square waste can 6' is taken out, rotated 90 degrees backward, and collapsed flat by turning the pressing lever 3 downward. A small square waste can 11 is flattened by placing the spacer 10 in the rear part of the base 1, bringing it into contact with a stopper 7, and pushing down the pressing lever 3, so that the can is flattened while the rear upper face is collapsed. A round can 13 is placed on a recessed part 14 and crushed with the pressing lever 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a crushing apparatus for crushing large square cans and small square cans with hands or feet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for crushing a large square can such as an 18 liter square can without using power, the utility model registration No. 30
No. 32478 is known. In this device, an empty can is placed in the upper and lower receiving plates of the base, the foot pedal is depressed several times, the ratchet mechanism is pressed to depress the upper part of the empty can, and this empty can is transferred to the upper receiving plate and changed to the handle lever. As a result, one side is further pressed and crushed, and the other side is reversed and crushed.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, the empty cans were transferred to the upper and lower chambers, and furthermore, they were turned upside down and crushed, so that the mechanism was complicated and expensive, the work efficiency was poor, and only the large square cans were used. Since it is a special-purpose machine and cannot crush small square cans, there is a problem that its use is limited and its use range is narrow.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a crusher in which a base of a vertically movable pressing lever is pivotally mounted on one end of a base. Along with providing two parallel stopper members at a substantially central portion, a pressing portion is disposed between the stopper members in parallel with the stopper member, while a pressing portion is also provided at a substantially central portion of the pressing lever, In addition, between the stopper member and the base, a spacer is detachably provided on the upper surface of the base, and a stopper member is also arranged at a front portion of the spacer, and further, a base side of the pressing lever is provided. Also, a pressing portion is provided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a base, a support 2 protruding from one end.
The base of the pressing lever 3 is pivotally mounted on a pin 4 so as to be vertically rotatable, and is always held at a non-operating position by a spring 5. At a substantially central portion of the base 1, stopper members 7, 7 for preventing a large square empty can 6 such as an 18-liter can from moving back and forth are projected. The stopper members 7, 7 are formed to extend in the width direction. At the center between the stopper members 7, 7, a bottom pressing member 8, which presses in the width direction of the bottom of a large square empty can having a top 8a having a triangular cross section, is fixed. The upper surface 6a of the large square empty can 6 is pressed in the width direction on the lower surface of the pressing lever 3 in opposition to the bottom pressing member 8,
An upper pressing member 9 having a triangular cross section is fixed. 10 is a mounting portion of the large square empty can 6, that is, the stopper member 7,
A spacer, which is detachably provided behind the back 7, is used when crushing a small square empty can 11 such as a 4 liter can. The spacer 10 is provided with a stopper 12 for preventing the small square can from moving back and forth.
The stopper 12 is provided at a part in the width direction. The spacer 10 has a positioning recess 14 for positioning the round can 13 so that the round can 13 can be crushed. Reference numeral 15 denotes a pressing member which presses the upper surface of the positioned small square empty can 11 near the rear portion in the width direction or presses the upper surface of the positioned round can 13 such as a spray can in the width direction.

Next, the operation will be described. When crushing an 18-liter can, the spacer 10 is removed. Then 1
An 8-liter large square empty can 6 is inserted between the stopper members 7 and 7 and placed on the bottom pressing member 8. Next, the pressing lever 3 is pressed downward by hand or foot. Large square empty cans 6
On the upper surface 6a and the lower surface 6b, triangular recesses 6a 'and 6b' are formed in the width direction by the upper pressing member 9 and the bottom pressing member 8. Next, the foot is removed from the pressing lever 3, and the large empty can 6 'having a half-crushed shape is taken out from the stopper members 7, 7 and is rotated 90 degrees rearward. It is crushed into a flat shape as shown in FIG.

In the case of the small square empty can 11, the spacer 10 is mounted on the rear portion of the base 1 and abuts against the stopper member 7 on the base, and the small square empty can 11 abuts on the stopper 12 on the spacer 10. When the pressing lever 3 is pressed down, the pressing member 15 in the width direction crushes the upper surface near the rear portion of the small square empty can 11 and is crushed flat as shown in FIG.
In the case of the round can 13, the round can 13 is placed in the concave portion 14 of the spacer 10 and positioned, and when the pressing lever 3 is rotated downward, the round can 13 is pressed in the axial direction by the pressing member and crushed as shown in FIG. 7. You.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a crusher in which a base of a vertically movable pressing lever is pivotally connected to one end of a base, and two parallel stopper members are provided at substantially the center of the base. ,
A pressing portion is disposed between the stopper members in parallel with the stopper member, while a pressing portion is also provided at a substantially central portion of the pressing lever, and between the stopper member and the base portion, A spacer is detachably provided on the upper surface of the base, and a stopper member is also provided at a front portion of the spacer. Further, a pressing portion is provided on the base side of the pressing lever. It is convenient because the device can crush large square cans such as 18 liter cans and small square cans such as 4 liter cans.
