Description

  The present invention relates to a surfboard wax scraper used for scraping off wax applied to a surfboard.

  In surfing, wax is used to prevent slipping on the surfboard. This wax is applied to all the places where the person and the surfboard come into contact when surfing. Further, in order to improve the gripping force, the applied wax is streaked or fluffed.

  Waxes are commercially available from several manufacturers, and in accordance with the water temperature level, an appropriate grip force is used. When surfing for the first time on that day, or when the gripping power is decreasing, the wax applied so far is scraped off and then the optimum wax is newly applied according to the water temperature level. A wax scraper is used when the wax is scraped off.

  A conventional surfboard wax scraper has a scraping blade portion for scraping off wax on one side of a plate member. In addition, there is also one in which comb teeth for making a streaks or fluffing wax are integrally formed (see Patent Document 1).

  Wax is also applied to skis and snowboards, but this wax is intended to improve the sliding of the running surface, and its function is completely different from that of surfboard wax to prevent slipping. Yes. For this ski or snowboard use, apply wax to the running surface, then scrape the wax off the running surface with a ski wax remover to finish the surface of the sliding surface as thin as possible. . As described in Patent Document 2, the ski wax remover has a box shape with an open top, a main body with a long hole formed in the bottom plate, and a main body that protrudes from the long hole. A scraper blade fixed inside and a box-shaped lid covering the top of the main body is known.

  In the wax scraper for a surfboard described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem in that scraped wax scraps spill out and soil the surroundings.

  In the ski wax remover described in Patent Document 2, the wax scraps scraped thinly with the scraping blade enter the main body through the long holes, so that they do not spill around. However, since the ski wax remover scrapes off the wax so that a thin wax layer remains on the running surface, a sharp scraping blade and a blade mounting structure for regulating the protruding amount of the blade edge are required. The configuration is complicated and expensive. It cannot be used as a wax scraper for surfboards. In addition, since the lid is placed on the main body and the inside of the main body cannot be seen, there is a problem that it is difficult to know how much wax has been collected. Furthermore, in order to discard scraps, there is an inconvenience that the lid part must be removed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a wax scraper for a surfboard that has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a wax scraper for a surfboard that can observe the state of recovery of wax waste.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has an inlet opening at the front, and is formed integrally with the recovery part on the inlet, a recovery part for recovering the scraped wax scrap, And a scraping blade portion for scraping off the wax layer.

  It is preferable that the collection unit includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a pair of side plates, and a rear plate, and the scraping blade portion is formed at an end portion of the bottom plate constituting the inlet.

  It is preferable that an openable / closable lid is integrally formed on the top plate so that a wax product for application can be accommodated in the recovery portion.

  A guide projection having a positioning surface is formed at the ends of the pair of side plates constituting the inlet, and when the positioning surface is brought into contact with the surface of the wax layer, the scraping blade portion becomes the wax layer. It is preferable to maintain a predetermined angle with respect to the surface. Moreover, it is preferable that the said scraping blade part has an upper blade surface and a lower blade surface, and the said lower blade surface is located on the extension line | wire of the said positioning surface. The angle formed by the upper blade surface and the lower blade surface of the scraping blade portion is preferably 70 ° to 80 °.

  It is preferable that a plurality of comb teeth are formed integrally at the end portion of the top plate constituting the entrance for inserting a non-slip line into the wax layer. The rear plate is preferably curved in an arc shape. Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a cap that fits into the inlet.

  According to the present invention, since the scraping blade part for scraping off the wax is integrally formed at the inlet of the recovery part for recovering the wax scrap, the structure is simple and the scrap can be manufactured at low cost.

  Since the entrance side has a large opening, it is possible to easily know the state of recovered wax waste from here.

  Since the top plate is provided with an openable / closable lid, the wax product can be stored in the collection unit, and the scraped wax waste can be easily discharged from the collection unit. Further, by making the material transparent, the inside of the collection unit can be known from the outside.

  Since the guide projections are formed on the pair of side plates, the scraping blade portion can be kept at a predetermined angle with respect to the wax layer during the scraping of the wax, and the wax layer can be scraped cleanly.

  Since the comb teeth are formed at a position corresponding to the scraping blade portion, it is possible to easily put a non-slip line in the wax layer. Further, since the rear plate has an arc shape, the hand can be easily applied and the scraping operation is easy. Furthermore, if a cap is fitted to the inlet, the comb teeth do not get in the way.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the surfboard wax scraper 10 according to the present invention includes a collection portion 11, a scraping blade portion 12, guide protrusions 13 a and 13 b, comb teeth 14, and an opening / closing lid 15. Is formed. The wax scraper 10 can be manufactured at low cost because, for example, each part is integrally formed by injection molding using ABS resin or the like.

  The collection unit 11 has a box shape including a bottom plate 11a, a top plate 11b, side plates 11c and 11d, and a rear plate 11e (see FIG. 3). Moreover, it has a trapezoidal substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that gradually increases from the bottom plate 11a side to the top plate 11b side, and the front in the scraping direction of the wax is opened to constitute the inlet 11f. The waste wax scraped off from the used wax is recovered into the recovery unit 11 through the inlet 11f. This waste wax has a viscosity like rubber clay and adheres to the collection part 11.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the scraping blade portion 12 is formed at the tip of the bottom plate 11a in contact with the inlet 11f. The scraping blade portion 12 has blade surfaces on the top and bottom. In order to make it easy to scrape off the wax, it is preferable that the angle α formed by the lower blade surface 12a and the upper blade surface 12b is 70 ° to 80 °.

  The guide protrusions 13a and 13b are formed at the tips of the side plates 11c and 11d. The guide projection 13 projects forward from the scraping blade portion 12, and the positioning surfaces 16 a and 16 b at the tip are formed with a predetermined angle β with respect to the scraping blade portion 12. Thereby, when the positioning surfaces 16a and 16b of the guide protrusions 13a and 13b are brought into contact with the surface 22a of the wax layer 22 (see FIG. 6), the scraping blade portion 12 has a predetermined contact with the surface 22a of the wax layer 22. It is kept at the angle β. In addition, it is preferable that angle (beta) of the scraping blade part 12 with respect to the positioning surfaces 16a and 16b is formed in 40 degrees-50 degrees.

  The lower blade surface 12a of the scraping blade portion 12 is positioned on an extension line of the positioning surfaces 16a and 16b of the guide protrusions 13a and 13b. Thereby, when the positioning surfaces 16 a and 16 b are brought into contact with the surface 22 a of the wax layer 22, the lower blade surface 12 a of the scraping blade portion 12 comes into contact with the surface 22 a of the wax layer 22.

  The comb teeth 14 are used to make the wax layer 22 streaky and difficult to slip. A plurality of comb teeth 14 are formed at equal intervals along the tip of the top plate 11b. These comb teeth 14 have the same thickness as the top plate 11b and have a triangular shape so that the width gradually decreases toward the front.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the inside of the collection unit 11 is used as a storage chamber for the wax product 20 when the wax scraper 10 is not used. In order to take out the wax product 20, as shown in FIG. 5, the top plate 11b is provided with an opening 17 and an opening / closing lid 15. In this case, the size of the collection unit 11 is determined according to the size of the wax product 20.

  The opening / closing lid 15 is formed integrally with the collection unit 11 via a thin hinge 18 formed on one side in contact with the opening 17. The open / close lid 15 can be opened and closed between an open position (position shown in FIG. 5) that exposes the inside of the collection unit 11 through the opening 17 and a closed position (position shown in FIG. 1) that shields. The opening / closing lid 15 has a locking piece 19 on one side opposite to the hinge portion 18. The locking piece 19 engages with the periphery of the opening 17 to hold the opening / closing lid 15 in the closed position. When the open / close lid 15 is lifted from the closed position toward the open position, the locking piece 19 is elastically deformed, so that the engagement is released over the periphery of the opening 17 and the open / close lid 15 is allowed to open.

  Next, the operation of the wax scraper 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. Before applying new wax to the surfboard, the old wax is scraped off. When scraping off the wax, first, the positioning surfaces 16a and 16b of the guide protrusions 13a and 13b are brought into contact with the surface 22a of the wax layer 22 applied to the surfboard 21, and the scraping blade portion 12 is set against the surface 22a. Position at an angle of. Then, when the wax scraper 10 is moved in parallel with the surfboard 21 while pressing the scraping blade portion 12 into the wax layer 22, the scraping blade portion 12 scrapes the wax layer 22.

  The wax scraped off by the scraping blade part 12 is recovered as scraps 23 into the recovery part 11 from the inlet 11f. In this way, the scraps 23 generated by the scraping operation are easily recovered without being scattered around. Further, when scraping waste 23 accumulates in the collection unit 11 by scraping the wax layer 22, the opening / closing lid 15 is opened and the scraping scrap 23 is discarded from the opening 17 into the trash box. Since the scrap 23 is collected in the collecting unit 11 and discarded, the operator's hand is not soiled. Further, when the opening / closing lid 15 is opened, most of the recovery unit 11 is exposed, and therefore, scraping scraps 23 and cleaning of the recovery unit 11 are easy.

  After scraping off the old wax, the wax product 20 is rubbed against the surfboard 21 to form a new wax layer. The surplus wax product or the purchased unused wax product 20 opens the opening / closing lid 15 and is accommodated in the collection unit 11 through the opening 17. If the open / close lid 15 is closed after the wax product 20 is stored, the wax product 20 is stored in the collection unit 11 without coming out of the inlet 11 f by the root of the scraping blade unit 12. Thereby, the wax product 20 can be stored together with the wax scraper 10 without being lost.

  In order to make the wax layer 22 applied to the surfboard streaky and difficult to slip, the comb scraper 14 is pressed against the wax layer 22 and the wax scraper 10 is moved in parallel with the surfboard 21 as shown in FIG. Since the comb teeth 14 protrude forward from the scraping blade portion 12 and the guide protrusions 13a and 13b, when the streaks are inserted into the wax layer 22 by the comb teeth 14, the scraping blade portion 12 and the guide protrusions 13a and 13b are There is no catch.

  The wax scraper 10 may be provided with a cap that covers the inlet 11f so that the comb teeth 14 do not get in the way. In the example shown in FIG. 8, a box-shaped cap 24 that covers the collection unit 11 from the inlet 11 f side is provided. In this case, the cap 24 can cover and protect the scraping blade portion 12 together with the comb teeth 14 and the guide protrusions 13a and 13b.

  In the said embodiment, although the collection | recovery part 11 is formed in the trapezoidal box by making the width | variety and length of the top plate 11b larger than the bottom plate 11a, it does not restrict to this but collects scraps. Any shape can be used. For example, a rectangular box including a rectangular top plate, bottom plate, side plate, and rear plate may be used. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, a bulging portion 25 that bulges toward the rear of the collection portion 11 may be formed by making the rear plate arc-shaped. In this case, since the hand touches the bulging portion 25 when the wax is scraped off, the wax scraper 10 can be easily pushed.

  When the wax product 20 is not accommodated in the collection unit 11, the opening 17 and the opening / closing lid 15 of the top plate 11b may be omitted. In this case, the wax scraps 23 are taken out from the inlet 11f.

  In the above embodiment, ABS resin is taken as an example of the material of the wax scraper, but other resin may be used, or it may be molded from metal such as SUS. Further, a transparent resin may be used so that the inside of the collection unit 11 can be seen, and the part or the whole of the opening / closing lid 15 may be transparent.
