Description

  The present invention mainly relates to a snow lowering tool used to remove snow accumulated on the eaves of a roof when the snow is lowered on the roof.

  A conventional snow lowering tool is shown in FIG. This conventional snow lowering tool swings down the tip of a square plate 12 attached to the tip of the handle 11 from above the snow piled up at the eaves, and applies an impact to drop the snow down.

  However, the above-described conventional work using the snow lowering tool has a problem that it uses physical strength and cannot always efficiently remove the snow accumulated on the eaves.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a snow lowering tool that can easily and efficiently remove snow accumulated on the eaves and can easily perform snow lowering work without using much physical strength.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a handle and an action piece, the action piece is an elongated plate-like shape, and a tip portion of the handle is interposed via an openable / closable connecting member. Are attached so that the longitudinal side of the working piece intersects the longitudinal direction of the handle, the short side of the working piece stands up when the connecting member is opened, and the short side of the working piece is the base of the handle when the connecting member is closed. It is characterized in that a stopper is provided that lies on the side of the handle and restricts the tip of the handle so that it does not fall to the front side when the short side of the working piece stands up. Here, the openable and closable connecting member is a concept that includes all mechanisms that serve to erect or lie down on the short side of the connected working pieces.

  According to the present invention, the snow canopy can be dropped to the ground by cutting the snow canopy protruding from the front of the eaves using the action piece from the diagonally forward position of the eaves, and the snow canopy can be dropped. The snow on the rear edge of the eaves is cut with a gap of the length of the longitudinal side of the action piece in the vertical direction with respect to the lateral direction along the eaves using the action piece, and then the eaves are piled up between adjacent cuts. Insert the action piece deeply into the lower side of the snow, with the long side facing the front, and then pull the handle toward you, so that the short side of the action piece rises due to the resistance of the snow. Since the snow at one eave falls together to the ground smoothly, a large amount of snow including the eaves at the eave can be efficiently removed without requiring a large force. Therefore, even a weak woman or an elderly person can remove snow from the eaves safely and easily from the ground.

Hereinafter, the present snow lowering tool will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 (a) and 1 (b) show an embodiment of the snow piled up at the eaves, 1 is a square pipe-shaped aluminum handle, and 2 is an elongated plate-shaped stainless steel working piece. The piece 2 is attached so as to be substantially orthogonal to the long side N of the acting piece with respect to the longitudinal direction of the handle 1 with a hinge 3 interposed at the tip of the handle 1.

The hinge 3 has one wing portion 3A screwed to the square pipe surface of the handle 1, and the other wing portion 3B screwed to the middle portion of the plate surface of the action piece 2 in the longitudinal direction. 3 is configured such that the short side M side of the action piece 2 stands or falls with respect to the handle 1 by opening and closing 3.
Further, a stopper 4 is attached to the tip end side of the handle 1 to prevent the upright action piece 2 on the short side M side from further falling to the tip side of the handle 1.

The plate-like action piece 2 is an elongated rectangle, and the size of the long side N is preferably 30 to 50 cm, and the short side M is preferably about 2 cm. The material may be a metal other than stainless steel, plastic or wood.
The handle 1 is preferably about 4 to 6 meters long so that the snow removal work from the eaves can be performed from the bottom, and it is desirable to have a stretchable structure in consideration of convenience of storage and carrying. Further, the length of the handle 1 is not limited to the above length, and it is convenient if it can be freely adjusted according to the height of the roof. Further, the material is not limited, but a material that is light in weight and strong is desirable. Moreover, shapes other than a square pipe may be sufficient.

In the embodiment example, the hinge 3 is used as a connecting member for the handle 1 and the action piece 2, but other than the hinge as long as the handle 1 and the action piece 2 can be connected and the short side M side of the action piece 2 can be raised and lowered. It may be a structure. Moreover, the coupling | bonding of the handle | steering_wheel 1 and the action piece 2, and the hinge 3 is not limited to screwing, Welding and another coupling means may be sufficient.
In addition, the shape of the action piece 2 is not limited to a rectangle, What is necessary is just an elongate plate shape.

Next, snow removal of the snow piled up on the eaves of the roof using the snow lowering tool will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (a), (b), and (c).
First, FIG. 2 (a) is a schematic explanatory diagram when removing a snow ridge protruding from the eaves. That is, using the length of the handle 1 from the ground, the action piece 2 is positioned obliquely forward along the eaves edge and cuts the snow fence protruding from the eaves edge along the eaves edge while cutting along the eaves edge. If the sword is moved, the cut snowfall will fall from the eaves to the ground, and the snow will not fall on the snow remover.

  Next, the snow piled up on the eaves from which the eaves have been removed makes a cut K using the action piece 2 with an interval of the long side N of the action piece 2 in the vertical direction with respect to the lateral direction along the eaves edge ( FIG. 2 (b)). After that, after inserting the long side N of the action piece 2 as deep as possible in front of the snow piled up between the adjacent cuts K, the action piece 2 was pulled to the front, and received snow resistance. The short side M side of the action piece 2 rises up and comes into contact with the stopper 4 and stands upright, and the short side M side catches on the accumulated snow and smoothly collects the snow on the eaves between the cut lines K and K and puts it smoothly on the ground. It can be dropped (see FIG. 2C).

In addition, since the roof is inclined, the operation of inserting the action piece 2 deeply from above can be performed without much difficulty.
After removing most of the snow at the eaves, the remaining snow at the eaves can be scraped out by the short side M hanging down with the action piece 2 downward using the snow lowering tool.

  If the snow piled up at the eaves is removed in this way, people can safely pass under the eaves, and the heavy load caused by the snow on the eaves is eliminated, and there is less concern about damage to the house.

This snow lowering tool can also be used on automobile roofs, traffic lights, and garden trees with snow.
Hereinafter, the snow removal of the snow piled up on the roof of the automobile will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, FIG. 3 (a) is a schematic explanatory diagram when inserting the present snow lowering tool into the snow piled up on the roof of the automobile. By holding the end of the handle 1 with both hands and inserting it from above the snow on which the action piece 2 is stacked, the action piece 2 as a whole is buried in the snow (see FIG. 3B). Thereafter, when the action piece 2 buried in the snow is pulled forward, the short side M side of the action piece 2 which has received the resistance of the snow rises up and comes into contact with the stopper 4, and the short side M side is piled up. By being caught in the snow, it is possible to drop the snow on the roof of the car (see FIG. 3 (C)).

Next, snow removal on the traffic lights will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a), (b), and (c).
First, FIG. 4 (a) is a schematic explanatory diagram when dropping a snowfall hanging from the front of a traffic light. Hold the handle 1 with both hands, so that the action piece 2 is positioned obliquely forward along the front of the traffic light, and cut the snow fence protruding from the front of the traffic light with the action piece 2 standing vertically. By moving along the front, the cut snow canopy falls from the traffic light to the ground (see FIG. 4 (a)).
Next, when the action piece 2 is hooked on the snow piled on the top of the traffic light and pulled downward, the short side M side of the action piece 2 that has received the resistance of the snow rises and comes into contact with the stopper 4 and stands upright. The snow can be dropped by being caught in the snow piled up on the M side (see FIGS. 4B to 4C).

Further, snow removal from the snow on the garden tree will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a), (b), and (c).
First, FIG. 5 (a) is a schematic explanatory diagram when the main snow lowering tool is brought close to the snow piled up in the garden tree and the action piece 2 is to be inserted into the snow. Next, hold the end of the handle 1 with both hands and insert the action piece 2 into the snow block where the action piece 2 is to be dropped (see FIGS. 5A to 5B). After that, when the action piece 2 is pulled forward, the side of the short side M of the action piece 2 that has received the resistance of the snow rises and comes into contact with the stopper 4 and stands upright, and the short side M side is caught by the accumulated snow. Since the snow block caught on the action piece 2 is also pulled forward, the snow block can be dropped from the garden tree (see FIG. 5C).
At this time, the snow lowering tool can be inserted not only into the snow block to be dropped, but also the surrounding branches can be shaken and shaken, and the snow can be shaken off with the shaken branches.

  In FIG. 6, the brush 5 is detachably attached to one end portion of the action piece 2, so that when the snow is attached to the traffic sign due to a snowstorm or the like, the brush 5 Snow can be removed.
