Description

  The present invention relates to dust removal.

  The conventional dust collector has a solid box shape or spoon shape, and the floor surface of the dust inlet is rigid and flat. Also, if some parts were worn, all had to be discarded.

  However, with the dust collector as described above, it is difficult to clean the side walls of apartment passages and the roots of streets, and it is necessary to use dust collectors suitable for each. Also, if some parts were worn, the entire dust collector had to be discarded. Furthermore, in the case of a long handle dust collector, it fell over while waiting for use, and the contained dust was released and unsightly. In addition, it was unsanitary because it had a bottom when it contained dust. In addition, the use while carrying around a wide range of stations, roads, etc. has a work burden due to weight, and when dragged, there were problems such as damage to the floor and generation of noise.

  The dust collector of the present invention has a dust collector body and a dust collector comprising a storage bag having a U-shaped dust intake port composed of a thin elastic flexible sheet at the front and a dust discharge knob at the rear. It is flexible and lightweight with a dust collector composed of a handle that is pivotably connected through a freely connecting shaft that passes through a connecting body having a tip for preventing the body from falling down. And

  The dust collector of the present invention has a U-shaped dust intake port composed of a thin elastically deformable thin sheet. Since it can be freely deformed accordingly, it can be used not only on a normal floor surface but also on a narrow groove shape or an uneven floor surface. In addition, since the structural members are thin compounds, the dust collector body is light weight of several tens of grams and does not feel painful for long-term use. Also, since the dust inlet is in the form of a thin sheet, the dust is well swept away and there is no residue left. Further, since the connecting shaft can be removed, even if the dust collector body or the handle is worn, only one of them can be replaced, which is economical, and it can be replaced with a dust collector body corresponding to the amount of dust. Further, since the fall prevention protrusion provided in the connecting body does not fall during use standby, it is possible to avoid the scattering of the stored dust and the unsightly left on the floor. Further, the discharging knob does not always touch the ground and dust, and if it is picked up, the stored dust is discharged, which is hygienic.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a dust collector according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIGS. 1 to 7 all relate to a flexible and lightweight dust collector as an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the dust collector 1. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the dust collector 1. FIG. 3 is a side view of the dust collector 1. FIG. 4 is a front view of the dust collector 1. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the dust collector 1 in a state of leaning against a wall. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state where the handle 6 is lifted. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a state in which the discharging knob 41 of the dust collector 1 is picked up.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the dust collector 1 according to the present embodiment includes an opening 2 having a shape in which a part of an upper portion of a cylinder placed on the front side is obliquely cut and a bag-like storage bag 4 on the rear side. A main body 3 coupled to the main body 3, a connecting body 5 pivotally supported by the main body 3, and a handle 6 connected to the substantially central portion of the connecting body 5 and rotatably connected to the main body 3 via the connecting body 5. Has been.

  The opening 2 has a shape in which a part of the upper part of the cylinder placed on the side is obliquely cut off, and a substantially U-shaped sweeping opening 22 is opened at the front. The sweep port 22 opens from the sweep edge 23 toward the rear upper side. Since the connecting body 5 is retreated more greatly than the sweep edge 23, it is easy to sweep dust into the accommodation bag 4 with a broom or the like. A connecting shaft through hole 24 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the main body 3 at the rear upper part of the opening side surface 21 in front of the center of gravity. When the connecting shaft 52 is inserted into the connecting shaft through hole 24, the connecting body 5 and the main body 3 are rotatably coupled via the connecting shaft 52. When the main body 3 is lifted by the handle 6, the main body 3 is swept. The mouth 22 is directed upward (FIG. 6). Similarly, when the upper end of the handle 6 stands on the floor, the main body 3 turns the sweep port 22 upward (FIG. 5). The opening ends at the rear of the connecting shaft through hole 24. Polypropylene or the like can be appropriately employed as a material for forming the opening 2.

  The storage bag 4 has a bag shape, and an opening portion is coupled to the rear end of the opening 2 along a coupling line 42. A discharge knob 41 is provided at the rear upper part of the storage bag 4. When the discharging knob 41 is picked up, the rear end of the storage bag 4 rises upward around the connecting shaft 52, and at the same time, the opening 2 faces downward (FIG. 7). OPP, polypropylene, or the like can be appropriately employed as a material for forming the storage bag 4.

The coupling body 5 includes a coupling portion 55 having a substantially triangular shape, and a handle insertion cylinder 56 at the center of the coupling portion 55 and facing the rear upper portion at an acute angle with respect to the rising angle of the coupling portion 55. By providing an angle, as shown in FIG. 5, the anti-falling projection protrudes to the front surface when leaning against the wall, and the anti-falling effect is strengthened. One fall prevention projection 54 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the front portion of the coupling portion 55. A connecting shaft hole 51 penetrates the lower portion of the connecting portion 55 so as to be rotatable with the main body 3, and a connecting shaft 52 is inserted into the connecting shaft hole 51. Both ends of the connecting shaft 52 are provided with raising and lowering clasps 53 that rise and fall at right angles to the shaft. When the raising clasp 53 is tilted, the connecting shaft 52 is extracted from the connecting body 5. Thereby, the main body 3 and the handle 6 can be exchanged.
An ABS resin or the like can be appropriately employed as a material for forming the connection body 5. As a material for forming the connecting shaft 52, metal, ABS resin, or the like can be appropriately employed.

  The handle 6 is inserted into the handle insertion cylinder 56 and is rotatably connected to the main body 3 via a connecting shaft 52 penetrating the connecting body 5.

  Note that the above embodiments are merely for the purpose of explanation based on the drawings, and do not limit the actual use state or the like. Further, the size, number, material, shape, and relative arrangement of the component parts in the description of the above-described embodiments limit the scope of the present invention to those unless otherwise specified. It is not intended but merely an illustrative example.

  It is an appearance perspective view of dust collector 1 concerning one embodiment of the present invention.   It is a top view of the dust collector 1 of FIG.   It is a side view of the dust collector 1 of FIG.   It is a front view of the dust collector 1 of FIG.   It is a perspective view of the state where the dust collector 1 of FIG.   It is a perspective view of the state which lifted the handle | steering_wheel of FIG.   It is a perspective view of the state which picked up the knob 41 for discharge | emission of the dust collector 1 of FIG.
