Description

  The present invention relates to a mouth closing clip used to close a mouth of a garbage bag or the like.

  Economic growth in Japan has created consumption patterns of mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal. As a result, local governments nationwide need to secure and implement land and treatment facilities for disposal of large amounts of garbage. It is also necessary to create a budget for this purpose. Under such circumstances, in recent years, many local governments have designated bags for collecting garbage, and charged garbage collection by selling the bags at a price added to the actual cost.

  And because of the impact of such garbage collection charges, residents try to pack as much garbage as possible into a single garbage bag when taking out the garbage, but eventually the garbage mouth is tied by hand. Since it is necessary to close the trash bag, it is usually not possible to put trash up to the full capacity of the trash bag (45 liters), which is uneconomical. In addition, in order to accommodate as much trash as possible in the bag, residents usually compress the trash in the bag by pushing it with their hands or feet from the outside, or tie the mouth of the trash bag. In such a case, when there is a pointed garbage in the bag, there is a problem that a hole is formed in the garbage bag and the bag itself is torn or a bad odor in the bag leaks to the outside. In the latter case, the mouth of the garbage bag tends to be insufficiently connected. As a result, when the garbage is collected, the mouth of the bag is unraveled and garbage is spilled on the ground, or the worker enters the garbage. There is a problem that the bag cannot be easily put into the collection vehicle, and the work is dangerous.

Conventionally, in order to cope with such a problem, a garbage bag has been developed in which a tubular portion is formed in a mouth portion of a garbage bag, and a closed string or adhesive tape is passed through the tubular portion, thereby closing the mouth portion. Yes.

  In the case of the above-described conventional garbage bag, it is necessary to form a tubular portion at the mouth and to pass a closing string or an adhesive tape through the tubular portion. In addition, there is a problem that the cost becomes high.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to increase the amount of garbage put into the garbage bag more than usual, and to easily and easily open the mouth of the bag. The object is to provide a clip that can be securely closed.

  The present invention described in claim 1 has a pair of left and right pinning wires, a head formed integrally with the base ends of both pinning wires, and one pinning wire is linear, and the other A garbage bag having a substantially V-shaped bag insertion opening formed by the leading ends of both of the pinned wire rods, the spiral wire formed so that the pinned wire rods are wound around the outer peripheral surface of one pinned wire rod The mouth closing clip.

  In the present application, the pinning wire is an elongated one that can close the mouth of a garbage bag, etc., and its cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as a circular cross-section, a cross-sectional oval shape, or a cross-sectional square shape are applied. obtain.

  Various materials such as plastic and metal are used for the clip according to the present invention.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the clip according to the first aspect, the other pinning wire has three bent portions.

  The present invention described in claim 3 has a pair of left and right pinning wires and a head formed integrally with the base ends of both pinning wires, and the pinning wires are spirally wound around each other. A clip for closing the mouth of a garbage bag or the like in which a substantially V-shaped bag insertion opening is formed by the leading ends of both pinching wires.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the clip according to the third aspect, wherein each of the pinning wires has three bent portions.

  A fifth aspect of the present invention is the clip according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein a large number of anti-slipping small protrusions are formed on the surfaces of both pinning wires. It is what.

  In addition to being formed on the entire surface of the pinning wire, the small protrusion may be partially formed at a necessary location.

  The present invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that a strap is attached to the head of the clip according to any one of claims 1 to 5.

  The present invention according to claim 7 is characterized in that, in the clip according to any one of claims 1 to 6, the tip portions of both pinning wires are semicircular or hemispherical. To do.

  The present invention according to claim 8 is characterized in that the clip according to any one of claims 1 to 7 is made of a degradable plastic.

  Examples of the degradable plastic include corn and rice.

  According to the clip of the present invention, the both pinned wires are temporarily opened by simply inserting the mouth portion of the trash bag into the bag insertion port and twisting the clip head toward the bag mouth portion. When the bag mouth portion is separated and enters between the both pinning wires, the both pinning wires are closed, so that the mouth portion of the garbage bag is finally closed. In addition, as described above, the clip according to the present invention can be attached to the mouth of the garbage bag with only one hand, and the mouth of the garbage bag can be tied using both hands, Since it is not necessary to tie it up, it can be easily used by elderly people, women or children.

In addition, as described above, the clip of the present invention can be closed without tying up the mouth portion of the trash bag, leaving a margin for tying up the mouth portion of the trash bag as in the prior art. There is no need to put in trash, and it is possible to put trash close to the capacity of the trash bag, which is economical, and as mentioned above, the mouth of the trash bag is securely closed, so there is no bad smell of trash. There is no risk of leaking outside the bag.

Further, even in the collection work of the garbage, when the worker carries the garbage bag to the collection vehicle, the mouth portion is not unraveled, so that the collection work can be performed smoothly and safely.

  Moreover, when putting garbage in a garbage bag, it can also be easily removed only by twisting the head of the clip in the opposite direction. That is, the opening and closing of the bag mouth can be easily and reliably performed by a twisting operation that is not normally performed.

  Further, the clip according to the present invention is disposable because it can be manufactured at low cost without the labor and material cost of forming a tubular portion at the mouth portion of the trash bag and passing the closure string through the clip as in the conventional case. If the clip is made of a degradable plastic, the burden on the environment is eliminated.

  According to the clip of the present invention in which one or both of the pair of left and right clamping wires have three bent portions, the mouth portion of the garbage bag can be clamped between the second bent portion and the third bent portion. And the overall length of the clip can be kept short.

  Moreover, according to the clip according to the present invention in which the small protrusions for preventing slip are formed on the surfaces of the both pinned wires, the closing of the mouth portion of the garbage bag becomes stronger.

  In addition, in the case of the clip according to the present invention in which a strap is attached to the head, there is an advantage that the clip can be sold by attaching it to a garbage bag.

  In addition, in the case of the clip according to the present invention in which the tip portions of both pinning wires are semicircular or hemispherical, there is an advantage that the mouth portion of the garbage bag is guided more smoothly to the bag insertion port.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist.
