Description

The present invention relates to a kitchen waste net, and particularly to a food waste net that can be lightly handled by persons with weak muscles such as women and children, and prevents crows and stray cats from eating the piled food waste bags. ..

For example, household kitchen waste is put in a transparent or translucent plastic bag and stored in a designated garbage collection point, or put into a garbage collection box installed in a designated place. In addition, in the case of condominiums and other condominiums, a garbage collection box exclusively for residents is often provided.

However, if plastic bags of kitchen waste are piled up in a garbage collection point and then put into a garbage collection box and piled up, the problem is that crows and stray cats eat up the plastic bags and scatter the food waste to pollute the surrounding area. It was.

On the other hand, a kitchen garbage net has been proposed in which the plastic bags piled up in a garbage collection place or a garbage collection box are covered with a net (Patent Document 1).

In addition, a kitchen waste net has been proposed in which a metal pipe such as an iron chain is attached around the net so that crows and stray cats cannot easily lift the kitchen waste net (Patent Document 2).

However, in the kitchen waste net described in Patent Document 1, a crow or a stray cat may easily lift the kitchen waste net and eat the garbage bag through the gap created.

On the other hand, in the kitchen waste net described in Patent Document 2, crows and stray cats cannot easily lift the kitchen waste net, but if the mesh of the net is coarse, the crow inserts a beak from the mesh and holds the garbage bag, and the stray cat meshes. There is a risk that the tip of the toe of the front leg will be inserted and the garbage bag will be caught, and the garbage bag will be eaten and torn.

On the other hand, the present inventor has a size capable of covering the entire bag of kitchen waste in which the net body is stacked, and a plurality of short rod-shaped metal pipes are provided at least a part of the peripheral edge of the net body. Are attached at intervals from each other, and when the net body is pulled by an external force, one of the metal pipes stands up or tilts in response to the pulled portion of the net body and the pulling force. In this way, we have developed and proposed a kitchen waste net that prevents crows and stray cats from eating the piled up kitchen waste bags (Patent Document 3).

However, in the kitchen waste net described in Patent Document 3, since a plurality of short rod-shaped metal pipes are attached to a part of the peripheral edge of the net body at intervals, it is heavy for a person with weak muscles such as a woman or a child. It was awkward.

In view of this problem, the present invention provides a kitchen waste net that can be handled lightly even by persons with weak muscles such as women and children, and that prevents crows and stray cats from eating the piled up kitchen waste bags. That is the issue.

Therefore, the food waste net according to the present invention has a size capable of covering the entire bag of food waste in which the net main body is stacked, and at least a part of the peripheral edge of the net main body is made of a plurality of short metals. The pipes are attached at intervals from each other, and chains or wires are inserted into the plurality of metal pipes at predetermined intervals to form a group of pipes. When the net body is pulled by an external force, the net is formed. While one of the metal pipes stands up or tilts in response to the pulled part of the main body and the pulling force, the plurality of pipe groups are appropriately connected to each other and the net main body is folded in half. It is characterized in that it can be wound around the above-mentioned connected pipe group in a state of being sewn or one piece.

One of the features of the present invention is that a plurality of short metal pipes are attached to at least a part of the peripheral edge of the net body at intervals.

This makes it possible to hold the piled up kitchen waste bags with the net, and when the crow inserts a bag into the mesh of the net body and pulls the garbage bag in the mouth, or pulls the net body with the bag, the net body One of the metal pipes stands up or tilts, and the crow flies away, surprised by the unexpected movement of the metal pipe.
Similarly, in the case of stray cats, it is expected that they will be surprised and escape due to the unexpected movement of the metal pipe.

By the way, crows have excellent learning ability, and when metal pipes move in the same way, they learn and are no longer surprised, and their repellent effect diminishes.
On the other hand, in the present invention, the metal pipe that stands up and tilts changes depending on the position where the crow pulls the net body and the garbage bag and the pulling force, and the crow moves differently each time it stands up and tilts. There is little learning, and the repellent effect can be maintained for a long period of time.

Further, the second feature of the present invention is that a plurality of metal pipes are inserted in a predetermined number of chains or wires to form a pipe group so that the pipe groups can be appropriately connected.

As a result, the entire kitchen waste net becomes lighter and can be handled lightly by people with weak muscles such as women and children.

Further, when a plurality of pipe groups are appropriately connected, the net body can be folded in half or wound around a metal pipe in a single state to form a rod-shaped compact form, which can be stored compactly in a narrow space. can do.

The shape of the net body is not particularly limited as long as it can cover the entire bag of food waste in which the net body is stacked. For example, a square shape or other polygonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, etc. shall be adopted. Can be done.

Further, the metal pipe may be provided on at least a part of the peripheral edge of the net body. For example, when a square shape is adopted, the metal pipe may be provided on all four peripheral edges, and one peripheral edge of the four peripheral edges may be provided. It may be provided.

The metal pipe may be a short metal pipe having a weight that can be lifted by pulling a crow or a stray cat. For example, an aluminum alloy pipe or a steel pipe having a diameter of 10 mm to 15 mm and a length of 20 cm to 60 cm can be used.

The material, mesh size, and color of the net body are not particularly limited. In addition, the net body can be used by stacking nets having different colors and meshes.

It is a schematic plan view which shows the preferable embodiment of the kitchen waste net which concerns on this invention. It is the schematic which shows the example of the usage situation in the said embodiment. It is a figure which shows the metal pipe in the said embodiment. It is a figure which shows the state which the net main body in the said embodiment is folded in half and wound around a metal pipe. It is a figure which shows the state which wound up to one net body in the said embodiment around a metal pipe.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples shown in the drawings. 1 to 5 show preferred embodiments of the kitchen waste net according to the present invention. In the figure, the net body 10 has a square shape of 4 m × 3 m, and edges 11 are sewn on its four peripheral edges.

The net body 10 has a mesh of an appropriate size, 12 metal pipes 12 are attached to one side of the four peripheral edges, and the metal pipe 12 is an aluminum alloy pipe or steel having a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 300 mm. A pipe made of steel is used, and an interval of about 30 mm is set between adjacent metal pipes 12.

The 12 metal pipes 12 are divided into 4 groups of 3 each, and a metal chain 15 or a wire is inserted through the metal pipes 12 of each group, and 2 groups of the 4 metal pipes 12 are both. A metal joint cap 16 is fitted to the outer end of the outer metal pipe 12, the joint cap 16 is processed in a tapered shape from the center to both outer sides, and a metal chain 15 is attached to the joint cap 16. There is. Rubber or plastic caps 17 are detachably fitted to the outer ends of the metal pipes 12 on both outer sides of the remaining two groups, and to the outer ends of the metal pipes 12 on both outer sides of the remaining two groups. A mounting screw 18 is attached, and a metal chain 15 is attached to the mounting screw 18.

When using the kitchen waste net of this example, set the kitchen waste net of this example at a predetermined garbage collection point. That is, the metal pipe 12 of the net body 10 is on the front side, and the peripheral edge on the opposite side is fixed to an appropriate place, for example, a concrete block with a string or the like. When the preparation is completed in this way, the metal pipe 12 is lifted, the bag 20 containing the kitchen waste is piled up in a predetermined garbage collection point, and the net main body 10 is put on the bag 20.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the crow 30 pulls the net body 10 with a bag, or inserts the bag from the mesh and pulls the garbage bag, and the stray cat 31 hooks the garbage bag 20 with a claw. When pulled, one of the metal pipes 12 stands up or tilts, and the metal pipe 12 that stands up and tilts depending on the pulling position and pulling force of the crow 30 and the stray cat 31 changes, and the movement is random. The crow 30 and the stray cat 31 are surprised at the unexpected movement of the metal pipe 12 and escape or fly away from the place.
Moreover, since the crows 30 do not learn and the repellent effect is maintained for a long period of time because they move differently each time they stand up or tilt.

When the kitchen waste has been collected and the kitchen waste net is stored, the rubber or plastic cap 17 on the outside of the metal pipes 12 of the second group is removed, and the outer end of the metal pipes 12 is replaced with the metal of the other two groups. It is fitted to the joint cap 16 on the outer side of the pipe 12, and is connected in the form of two substantially rods or one substantially rod. As shown in FIG. 4, when the net main body 12 is folded in two at the center and the net main body 12 is wound around the two substantially rod-shaped metal pipes 12, it becomes a short roll shape.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when one net main body 12 is wound around a substantially rod-shaped metal pipe 12 as it is, it becomes one compact long roll shape.

Since either the short roll shape or the long roll shape has a compact form, it can be stored compactly in a narrow space.
