Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-217156 (2nd and 3rd pages, FIGS. 1 and 2)

  When the narrow place where it is difficult to put in the hand is dark, the conventional capture tool can illuminate the place with the illumination unit 24, so that it becomes easy to find the dropped metal member a, which is very convenient. .

  However, the above-mentioned conventional capture tool is not a metal member but a non-metal member that is dropped in a narrow place where it is difficult to access, or a metal member that does not stick to a magnet such as aluminum. Has a problem in that it cannot be attracted to the magnet part 23 and the member cannot be picked up.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is difficult to put in a hand, for example, a thing dropped in a narrow place, a thing that cannot be directly grasped by a hand, for example, a hot thing or dirt. Of course, if a metal member that can be attracted to a magnet is picked up, the member can be picked up, but if it is not a metal member but a non-metallic member, or even a metal member is attracted to a magnet such as aluminum. The object is to provide a capture tool that can pick up the member even when the member is not.

  Therefore, the capture tool of the present invention is provided with the magnet 2 at the tip of the flexible tube 1 that can be bent, and the knob member 3 that passes through the magnet 2 and can be protruded and retracted from the tip of the magnet 2.

  Furthermore, the catching tool of this invention makes the said magnet 2 pass through this magnet 2 by making the said magnet 2 into a cylindrical shape or a ring shape, and the said knob | pick member 3 inserting the center part of this magnet 2. As shown in FIG.

  Moreover, the capture tool of the present invention remotely operates the knob member 3 from the operation member 8 provided at the rear end of the flexible tube 1 by a flexible rod 9 that is slidably inserted into the flexible tube 1. Picking operation is made.

  Since the capture tool of the present invention is configured as described above, if the metal member that can be adsorbed to the magnet is a metal member that cannot be dropped in a place where it is difficult to put in the hand or cannot be directly gripped by hand, The member can be picked up by adsorbing it, and it can be dropped in a place where it is difficult to put your hand, or if it is a non-metallic member that cannot be gripped directly by hand, or even a metallic member is attracted to a magnet such as aluminum. If it is a member that does not, it will be possible to pick up that member by picking with the picking member, and the magnet and the picking member at the tip of the capture tool can be made low in volume, so a very narrow place Can also be plugged in and picked up what was dropped in that very narrow space.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the capturing tool of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the catching tool 3 of the present invention is provided with a magnet 2 at the tip of a flexible tube 1 that can be bent, and a knob member 3 that can pass through the magnet 2 and protrude from the tip of the magnet 2. Is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the flexible tube 1 has a storage pipe 4 for storing the knob member 3 attached to the distal end side, and a holding body 5 for holding the magnet 2 is screwed to the distal end of the storage pipe 4. It is supposed to be. This holding body 5 is provided with a holding groove 6 for the magnet 2 on the front end side and an insertion hole 7 for the knob member 3 on the rear end side.

  The magnet 2 has a cylindrical shape or a ring shape, and passes through the magnet 2 when the knob member 3 is inserted through the center of the magnet 2. In addition, the magnet 2 has a semi-cylindrical shape, and the knob 2 has an appropriate shape such that the knob 3 passes over the side of the flat side of the magnet 2. Can pass through. Further, since the magnet 2 is held by the holding body 5 screwed to the storage pipe 4 as described above, when the holding body 5 is removed from the storage pipe 4, for example, at the center of the magnet 2 or the like. When the metal powder is attached, the metal powder can be easily cleaned. In such a case, the metal powder can be used without reducing the magnetic force of the magnet 2.

  The knob member 3 is operated remotely by operating a flexible rod 9 that is slidably inserted into the flexible tube 1 from an operation member 8 provided at the rear end of the flexible tube 1. The knob member 3 is made of an elastic wire, and has a plurality of knobs 10 each having a hook shape at the tip, and is attached to a slider 11 connected to the tip of the flexible rod 9. The knob 10 is taken in and out of the storage pipe 4 by the slider 11 that slides back and forth in the storage pipe 4 by the flexible rod 9, and is tightened and closed by the inner wall of the insertion hole 7 of the holding body 5 when the slider 11 is retracted. When the slider 11 moves forward, the knob 10 of the knob 3 protruding from the storage pipe 4 is opened by its elastic force. Note that the knob member 3 can also be operated when the magnet 2 and the holder 5 are removed from the storage pipe 4 as described above. In this case, the knob member 3 is tightened and closed by the opening end 4 a of the storage pipe 4 when the slider 11 is retracted. In any case, when the knob member 3 is closed, it does not come into contact with the magnet 2, so that the knob member 3 is not magnetized and its operation is not slowed, and the magnet 2 is damaged and damaged. There is nothing to do.

  The operation member 8 is connected to a rear end of the flexible rod 9 in a substantially T-shaped grip 12 provided at the rear end of the flexible tube 1, and a spring (not shown) provided in the grip 12. The push rod 13 that slides in and out of the grip 12 by the elastic force is attached.

  Since the capture tool of the present invention is configured as described above, if it is a metal member a that can be dropped on a place where it is difficult to place a hand or cannot be directly gripped by a hand, and is attracted to a magnet, the place where the hand is dropped If the flexible tube 1 is introduced beside a thing that cannot be grasped directly by hand and the magnet 2 provided at the tip of the flexible tube 1 is brought close to the metal member a, the metal member a can be adsorbed, and the state If the flexible tube 1 is pulled out, the metal member a can be picked up (see FIG. 5).

  In addition, when the capture tool of the present invention is a non-metal member (not shown) or a metal member b that is not attracted to a magnet, it can be dropped in a place where it is difficult to put in a hand or cannot be gripped directly by hand. If the flexible tube 1 is introduced into the dropped place and the push rod 13 of the operation member 8 is pressed with a finger and pushed into the grip 12, the flexible rod 9 connected to the push rod 13 slides inside the storage pipe 4. As the slider 11 advances, the knob 10 of the knob 3 protrudes from the storage pipe 4 and the protruding knob 10 is opened by elastic force. Then, with the plurality of knobs 10 opened, if the finger is released from the push rod 13 of the operation member 8 close to the non-metal member or the metal member b, the elastic force of the spring provided in the grip 12 The push rod 13 is pushed out of the grip 12, and the slider 10 sliding inside the storage pipe 4 by the flexible rod 9 connected to the push rod 13 causes the knob 10 of the pick member 3 to move inside the storage pipe 4. Since the non-metallic member and the metallic member b are picked by the knob 10 at this time and the flexible tube 1 is pulled out in this state, the non-metallic member and the metallic member b can be picked up. Yes (see FIG. 6).

  The catching tool of the present invention can be picked up if it is operated in the same manner as described above, even if it is a metal member a that is attracted to a magnet that cannot be dropped in a place where it is difficult to put a hand or cannot be directly gripped by hand. It goes without saying that the metal member a can be picked and picked up by the knob 10 of the member 3.
