Description

The present invention relates to a used paper stocker for stocking and tying used paper such as newspapers and magazines.

Conventionally, pollution and depletion of forest resources have become a problem due to the large consumption of paper, and social demands for waste paper recycling are increasing. In order to recycle used paper such as newspapers and magazines, it is necessary to stock a certain amount of used paper at home or office, pack it, and carry it to a collection place on a predetermined date.

Usually, newspapers and magazines are stocked in a home or office until they are stored in a certain amount using paper bags, boxes or baskets. When a paper bag is used, the strength of the paper bag is weak, so when the weight is large, it is tied to the outside of the paper bag. When boxes and baskets are used, newspapers and magazines are stacked and tied, but at this time there is a problem that the load collapses and the straps do not go smoothly.

In order to improve the stock and bundling work of used paper, various devices have been made so that the stock and bundling can be performed with a single tool. As an example, there is a case in which a box-like container is formed on the upper part of a lattice-like frame and a gap for passing a string is provided in order to bind a certain amount of used paper after it is stored. (Patent Document 1)

JP-A-8-85510

If the container part for stocking the used paper and the bundling device are separated, the used paper must be transferred and stacked at the time of the packing operation.

In the case of a tool that stocks used paper in a state of being stacked in a container and passes the string as it is, the conventional strap stocker has a straight line and a bend in the groove provided on the inner wall and bottom of the container part. Couldn't go through smoothly. That is, there is a problem that it is difficult to achieve both straight travel at the straight line portion of the messenger and easy bending at the corner portion.

In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 5, a slit 7a is provided in the container part 7 for tying the string, and further, a lower part is necessary for the work inside the lattice frame 6 of the container part in order to send the string. There was a problem that the space 6a had to be provided.

A continuous groove is provided from one side wall of the container part for storing used paper to the side wall on the opposite side through the bottom part, and the corner part of the side wall and the bottom part is smoothly connected with a curvature. Further, a similar groove is provided in the orthogonal direction of the groove from one side wall to the side wall passing through the bottom. At the bottom, the grooves in the two directions intersect in a cross shape.

The messenger that guides the string through this groove is an elastic strip with a circular cross-sectional shape, the length is larger than the longer one of the groove, and the tip has a hole for hooking the string Yes.

According to the present invention, used paper such as newspapers and magazines can be bundled as they are without being transferred from the container after they are stacked in a container part whenever necessary and a certain amount is collected.

For binding, when a string is inserted into the hole at the tip of the messenger and inserted from one groove of the container, the messenger smoothly passes through the groove as described later, and comes out of the groove on the opposite side while the string is hooked. Here, once the string is removed from the messenger, the messenger is pulled out of the groove, the string is fully pulled out, the string is inserted again into the hole at the tip of the messenger, and inserted from one of the orthogonal grooves, It comes out of the groove on the opposite side. Here, the messenger is pulled out from the groove, and the leading end of the string is entangled with the middle part of the string that has passed through first. Packing is completed by removing the bound paper from the container. The string can be cut even after the string is tied.

When the messenger passes through the groove, it can smoothly pass through the groove by the following action. That is, the messenger inserted into the groove with the string hooked in the hole at the tip has an arcuate cross section, and thus acts straight, and goes straight at the straight part of the groove. Next, at the corner of the groove, the tip of the messenger comes into contact with the bottom of the groove corner, and both ends of the messenger come into contact with the waste paper at a portion behind the tip. At this time, since both ends of the messenger receive a pressing force from the waste paper, the arc shape of the cross section of the messenger cannot be maintained, so the messenger can be easily bent at this portion. In other words, a messenger with an arc-shaped cross section can achieve both straight travel at the straight portion and easy bending at the corner.

When it is necessary to wind the string several times during binding, pass the string once through the groove, then remove the string from the messenger, pull the messenger out of the groove, pull out a sufficient amount of the string, and again in the same way Thread the string with, and bind it with the tip of the string and the feeding side. In case of further winding, after stringing with a messenger, the tip of the string and the feeding side are tied.

In the stringing stocker of the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a slit in the container part or provide a working space in the lower part of the container.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a stocker container 1, a side wall and a bottom portion of the container 1 are provided with a groove 1a and a groove 1b perpendicular to the groove 1a, and the grooves 1a and 1b have the same cross-sectional shape. On the other hand, in FIG. 2, the messenger 2 that hooks and passes the string in the groove is a belt having an arc-shaped cross section, the length of which is longer than the longer one of the grooves 1a and 1b, and the hole into which the string is inserted at the tip If the hole 2a is tapered in the front-rear direction, the string will bite when the string is inserted and fed, so that the string will not easily slip. The tip of the messenger 2 has a bend introductory portion 2b for easily starting to bend the messenger when the messenger 2 reaches the corner of the groove. FIG. 3 shows a state when the string 3a pulled out from the string ball 3 is hooked on the tip hole 2a of the messenger 2 and the string is fed out.

When the messenger 2 passes through the side wall portion of the container 1, the messenger 2 goes straight by a straight action having a circular cross section because it is not interfered with the waste paper 3 b stacked inside the container 1. At the corner where the side wall and the bottom of the container intersect, the tip of the messenger 2 hits the bottom of the corner and the messenger-2 approaches the inside of the container. Then, at the rear end of the messenger-2, it comes into contact with the waste paper and receives a pressing force, so that the arc shape of the cross section cannot be maintained, and the messenger 2 starts to bend easily. If the tip is narrow at this time, the messenger can be bent more easily according to the curvature of the corner bottom. When the messenger 2 is further pushed in, the tip of the messenger 2 begins to stick out from the groove on the opposite side. By removing the string from the front end of the messenger 2 and sufficiently pulling it out, the same operation is performed on the grooves in the orthogonal direction. After that, after the end of the string is entangled in the middle of the already passed string, the binding is completed by binding the leading end of the string and the feeding side.

  In FIG. 4, the container 4 is provided with the grooves 4a and 4b as described above. However, when the handle brackets 4c and 4b are provided and the handles 5a and 5b are attached thereto, the container becomes almost the same as a normal hand basket. It can also be used for other applications.
