Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reacher capable of adjusting an angle of a joint provided on a finger. <P>SOLUTION: The reacher is characterized in that (a) three fingers (2) made of elastic pipe having the joint (7) are mounted to the tip end of an arm (3) made of a hard pipe, and a grip hand (6) having a lever (5) is mounted to the opposite side of the arm (3), (b) the elastic pipe is cut into a V-shape type to make the joint (7), one end of a wire (4) is fixed to the inner side of a finger tip (1), and passed through the finger (2) made of the elastic pipe and the arm (3) made of the hard pipe to fix to the lever (5), and (c) an adjuster (10) having an adjuster lock (9) and roots of the adjuster (10) and the joints (7) are connected to the arm (3) with spokes (8). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、関節（７）を設けた３本の指（２）が物を確実につかみ、より大きな物はアジャスターにより指（２）の角度を拡大する事により人の手に近づけたリーチャーに関する物である。The present invention relates to a reacher in which three fingers (2) provided with joints (7) securely hold an object, and a larger object is brought closer to a human hand by expanding the angle of the finger (2) with an adjuster. It is a thing.

従来、リーチャーの指は堅く関節もなく、開く大きさ、角度も一定である。Traditionally, the reacher's fingers are tight and have no joints, and the opening size and angle are constant.

そのために、次のような問題点があった。
（イ）指は関節がないため、柔軟性がなく、小さい物や薄い物はつかめない。
（ロ）指は堅いため、割れやすい物はつかみにくい。
（ハ）指が開く大きさ、角度が一定のため、つかめる物が限定される。
本発明は、これらの問題点を解決するためになされた物である。Therefore, there are the following problems.
(B) Since fingers do not have joints, they are not flexible and cannot hold small or thin objects.
(B) Since fingers are hard, it is difficult to grasp objects that are easily broken.
(C) Since the size and angle of opening of the finger are constant, the objects that can be grasped are limited.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

（イ）硬質製パイプの腕（３）の先端に関節（７）を設けた３本の弾力製パイプの指（２）を取り付け、腕（３）の反対側にレバー（５）を設けた握り手（６）を取り付ける。
（ロ）弾力製パイプをＶ字型にカットし関節（７）を作り、指先（１）の内側にワイヤー（４）の片端を固定し、弾力製パイプの指（１）と硬質製パイプの腕（３）の中を通しレバー（５）に固定する。
（ハ）腕（３）にアジャスターロック（９）を設けたアジャスター（１０）ははめ、アジャスター（１０）と関節（７）の根元をスポーク（８）で接続する。
本発明は、以上を特徴とするリーチャーである。(A) Three elastic pipe fingers (2) provided with joints (7) at the tip of the hard pipe arm (3) were attached, and a lever (5) was provided on the opposite side of the arm (3). Install the hand grip (6).
(B) Cut the elastic pipe into a V shape to create a joint (7), fix one end of the wire (4) inside the fingertip (1), and connect the elastic pipe finger (1) and the rigid pipe Pass the arm (3) through and fix it to the lever (5).
(C) The adjuster (10) provided with the adjuster lock (9) on the arm (3) is fitted, and the base of the adjuster (10) and the joint (7) is connected by the spoke (8).
The present invention is a reacher characterized by the above.

レバー（５）を操作する事により関節（７）を伸縮させ、指先（１）を柔軟に動かす事により、失敗無く小さな物から大きな物までつかむことができる。更に、指先（１）が弾力製であることから割れやすいものもつかむことができる。
関節（７）は、弾力製パイプを使用することにより蝶番やスプリングが不要となり構造がシンプルで壊れにくく安価である。By operating the lever (5), the joint (7) can be expanded and contracted, and the fingertip (1) can be flexibly moved, so that a small object to a large object can be grasped without failure. Furthermore, since the fingertip (1) is made of elasticity, it can be easily broken.
The joint (7) uses an elastic pipe, which eliminates the need for hinges and springs, has a simple structure and is less likely to break.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
（イ）パイプの腕（３）に関節（７）を設けた３本の指（２）を取り付け、腕（３）の反対側にレバー（５）を設けた握り手（６）を取り付ける。
（ロ）弾力製パイプをＶ字型にカットした関節（７）を作り、指先（１）の内側にワイヤー（４）の片端を固定し、指（２）と腕（３）の内部を通しレバー（５）に固定する
（ハ）アジャスターロック（９）を設けたアジャスター（１０）を腕（３）にはめ、アジャスター（１０）と関節〈７）の根元とをスポーク（８）で接続する。
本発明は以上のような構成で、これを使用するときは、つかむ物の大きさによりアジャスター（１０）を調整する。小さな物や薄い物は、アジャスター（１０）を左にしアジャスターロック（９）で固定し、握り手（６）のレバー（５）を握れば指先（１）が［図２］のように閉じ物をつかむことができる。大きな物をつかむときは、アジャスター（１０）を右にしてアジャスターロック（９）で固定し、握り手のレバー（５）を握れば指先（１）および指（２）が［図４］のように閉じて物をつかむことができる。
このように自分の手の感触でつかむので割れやすい物もつかむことができる。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) Three fingers (2) provided with joints (7) are attached to the arm (3) of the pipe, and a gripping hand (6) provided with a lever (5) is attached to the opposite side of the arms (3).
(B) Make a joint (7) by cutting the elastic pipe into a V shape, fix one end of the wire (4) inside the fingertip (1), and pass the inside of the finger (2) and arm (3) The adjuster (10) provided with the adjuster lock (9) to be fixed to the lever (5) is fitted to the arm (3), and the adjuster (10) and the base of the joint <7> are connected by the spoke (8). .
The present invention is configured as described above, and when this is used, the adjuster (10) is adjusted according to the size of the object to be grasped. For small and thin objects, turn the adjuster (10) to the left and fix it with the adjuster lock (9). Can be grabbed. When grabbing a large object, adjust the adjuster (10) to the right and fix it with the adjuster lock (9). You can close it and grab things.
In this way, you can grab things that are easy to break because you can grab them with your own hand.
