An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The picking tool 1 for fruits and vegetables includes a main body 2 to be worn on the thumb, a replacement blade 3, and a cover member 4 for fixing the blade.

  The main body 2 is integrally formed of synthetic resin and includes a finger ring portion 21 to be fitted on the thumb of an operator, and a flat support plate portion 22 extending outward from the finger ring portion 21 in the radial direction.

The replacement blade 3 has a rectangular flat plate shape, has a blade portion 31 on one end side, has a pair of positioning holes 32, and is detachably held on the support plate portion 22.
The cover member 4 is configured to be engageable with and disengageable from the support plate portion 22 so as to overlap the support plate portion 22 via the replacement blade 3.

  The support plate portion 22 includes a substrate portion 23 that is continuous with the finger ring portion 21, a cutout portion 24 that opens to the tip side, a pair of blade receiving portions 25 that extends from the substrate portion 23 along both sides of the cutout portion 24, and a support plate. A pair of positioning protrusions 26 are provided so as to project from the portion 22 to the upper surface, and an engagement opening 27 formed in the substrate portion 23. In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning protrusion 26 is formed by crimping a metal positioning pin, but is not limited to this. It may be integrally molded with the main body 2 with a synthetic resin. When the positioning protrusion 26 is made of metal, it has durability and will not break even if the reaction force received by the replacement blade 3 is repeatedly received during use.

  The pair of positioning holes 32 of the spare blade 3 fits into the positioning protrusions 26 when the replacement blades 3 are arranged at fixed positions on the support plate portion 22. The replaceable blade 3 is arranged such that the blade portion 31 crosses the inner depth of the cutout portion 24 at a fixed position on the support plate portion 22.

  The cover member 4 includes a base portion 41 that overlaps the substrate portion 23 of the support plate portion 22, a cutout portion 42 that corresponds to the cutout portion 24 of the support plate portion 22, and a blade receiving portion that extends from the base portion 41 to both sides of the cutout portion 42. And a pair of pressing pieces 43 extending so as to overlap 25. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, a hook portion 44 that engages with the tip end portion of the blade receiving portion 25 is provided at the tip end portion of the pressing piece 43. An elastic engagement piece 45 is provided on the base portion 41 so as to be snap-engaged with the edge of the engagement opening 27 in a state where the hook portion 44 is engaged with the tip end portion of the blade receiving portion 25.

  At the time of use, the positioning hole 32 of the spare blade 3 is set on the blade receiving portion 25 so that the positioning hole 32 of the main body 2 is fitted to the positioning protrusion 26 of the main body 2, and the hook portion 44 of the cover member 4 is attached to the tip portion of the blade receiving portion 25. When the cover member 4 is pressed against the support plate portion 22 so as to overlap the replaceable blade 3 while being engaged, the elastic engagement piece 45 flexes and engages with the edge of the engagement opening 27, so that the blade receiving portion 25 and The replacement blade 3 is held between it and the cover member 4.

  When the spare blade 3 is set, the finger ring portion 21 is attached to the thumb as shown in FIG. At the time of harvesting fruit vegetables A such as cucumber, the fruit vegetables A are grasped with four fingers, the picking tool 1 is pressed against the fruit shaft A1 with the thumb, and the fruit shaft A1 is cut to scrape the fruit vegetables A.

  When replacing the replaceable blade 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the elastic engagement piece 45 protruding from the engagement opening 27 to the back side is deformed by a finger and pushed out, so that the cover member 4 is removed from the main body 2. Remove and replace the spare blade 3. The replacement blade 3 can be easily exchanged and mounted, and the replacement blade can be replaced to maintain the desired sharpness.
