(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, the open / close cover of the hair waste accommodating portion is generally detachably attached to the seed ball removing device. Therefore, in the case of using a rechargeable type, when holding the main body case and operating the charging plug in and out and pulling it out of the outlet,
When the opening / closing cover is removed by being acted on by a force in the direction of removing it from the hair waste storage portion, the hair waste inside will be scattered around. This means that this type of pill remover has a shaving section on the upper part of the main body case, so that the hair waste storage section is located on the lower side of the main body case, and the charging / removing position of the charging plug is also on the wall surface. This is because it is located on the lower side of the main body case because it is easy to insert into the outlet, and therefore, the operation place is concentrated in one place. In this case, in order to prevent erroneous operation, the open / close cover and the operation button of the charging plug may be arranged apart from each other, but if either one is arranged on the upper side of the main body case, the operation part at the time of cutting the pills And the clothes will come into contact with each other, and it may be caught or hair fibers may invade and cause malfunction.

In charging, as shown in FIG. 5, the main body case 1 is held in the hand, and the button 8 is operated with a fingertip to project the plug 7 from the main body case 1. However, the operation direction of the button 8 (b) Is different from the attachment / detachment operation direction (a) of the opening / closing cover 5 of the dust storage portion 4, so that when the button 8 is operated, a force in the removing direction acts on the opening / closing cover 5 and is unnecessary from the dust storage portion 4. There is nothing wrong with that. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when charging is completed and the main body case 1 is held and the plug 7 is pulled out from the outlet 50, the pulling-out direction (c) is the attaching / detaching direction of the opening / closing cover 5 (a). Since it is in a different direction, the open / close cover 5 does not come off.
Further, the ribs 26 also serve as anti-slip portions for fingertips when the main body case 1 is held and the above-mentioned in-out operation or withdrawal operation is performed.

(Embodiment 2) In FIGS. 8 and 9, 51 is a main body case, and 52 is a reaping part. The open / close cover 55 of the dust collecting portion 54 has a bottomed tubular shape, and this is also attached and detached by sliding the plug 7 in a direction (a) different from the insertion / removal operation direction (b) of the plug 7. 56 is an exhaust window. Particularly, in the case of this, as shown in FIG. 9, when the button 8 is slid with the fingertip to accommodate the plug 7, the rib 26 serves as a stopper that prevents the fingertip from sliding to the opening / closing cover 55 side.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is provided on the main surface of the main body case,
A mowing part equipped with an outer blade and an opening / closing cover for a mastication storage part for accommodating the mastication of this mowing part are provided side by side, and a rechargeable battery for driving the mowing part is housed inside the main body case, A rechargeable pill catcher having an adjoining lower surface provided with an operation button for charging / discharging a charging plug of the rechargeable battery, wherein the opening / closing cover is detachable by a sliding means that slides in the vertical direction in parallel with the main surface. Since the inserting / extracting operation direction of the inserting / extracting operation button is orthogonal to the main surface and the charging plug is projected and retracted in the direction opposite to the main surface, the main body case 1 is held and the inserting / extracting operation of the plug 7 and the plug 7 are performed. When pulling out from the outlet 50, a force in the removing direction acts on the opening / closing cover 5 of the hair waste storage unit 4 and it is removed unnecessarily, and the hair waste of the hair waste storage unit 4 is scattered around. It can be prevented. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the operation mistake can be prevented, the opening / closing cover 5 of the hair waste container 4 and the operation button 8 of the charging plug 7 can be centrally arranged on the lower side of the main body case 1. It is possible to separate the cutting parts 2 and 52 from the upper part of the main body case 1 so that the operation parts can be prevented from being bitten, and the ball can be cut freely. it can.
