DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The use of the present invention will be described.
First, a description will be given of the drum can erecting assistant. When the drum can is tilted, the base plate of the erecting assistant of the present invention is placed on the top plate of the drum can, and the slit is applied to the rim (flange) of the drum can. Next, when the handle is rotated by holding the handle, the step of the side plate is brought closer to the slit, and the flange is held between the side surface of the slit and the side surface of the side plate. When the handle is further rotated as it is, the drum can tilts while the flange portion is pressed and held. At this time, if the handle is kept pressed, the drum can further tilts with the bottom of the drum as a fulcrum. However, since the point of action is located between the fulcrum and the force point, the drum can can be tilted with less labor by leverage principle. The purpose can be achieved by the same work when the horizontal drum is set up, but at this time, the drum can tilts due to the inertia immediately after standing, and the auxiliary tool attached to the drum can also tilts, Since the side plate and the handle are rotatable, danger to the human body can be avoided by this rotating action.

Next, the drum can transporter will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the tilt lever of the apparatus of the present invention is tilted so that the casters are inclined relative to the base plate. Then, the front portion of the base plate is located close to the ground, and the base plate is inclined with respect to the ground. Next, when the drum can is slightly tilted by the above-mentioned means, the bottom surface of the drum can becomes an inclined surface. Therefore, the base plate is slightly lifted up by holding the hand pushing plate, and then the base plate is inserted below the drum can. At this time, since the lower surface of the drum can and the base plate are in contact, when the tilt lever is raised, the tilt lever comes into contact with the lock plate, and when the lever is further raised, the lock plate rotates, and when the lever passes, the lock plate is restored. The position returns to the position along the slope of the trapezoid member. afterwards,
When the tilt lever is lowered, the lower surface of the lever comes into contact with the upper surface of the lock plate, and since the lock plate comes into contact with the slope as shown in FIG. 4 and stops rotating, the lever position is determined. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the base plate is parallel to the ground, and the entire base plate can be moved to an arbitrary position by pushing the drum. When lowering the drum from the base plate, slightly raise the tilt lever, pinch the lock lever and rotate it, this lock plate will be in a standing state, so rotate the tilt lever to make it fall down like the initial state be able to. Then, the drum can is tilted again by the operation reverse to the above, and the base plate can be pulled out to achieve the purpose.
