Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a dolly that can be harvested and transported in a comfortable posture without excessive bending and stretching when harvesting fruits. [Structure] A large wheel 2 is pivotally supported on each of the bottom left and right centers of a bottom surface of a flat rectangular pipe frame 1 via bifurcated legs 3, and a handle 12 is attached to the front and rear centers and a vertical shaft is provided. Small wheels 7 that are grounded on the same ground plane as the large wheels 2 are rotatably supported by bearings 5 that are rotatable around the base 5, and a pedestal 10 is attached to the upper portion of the pipe frame 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hand cart for carrying fruits while harvesting them in an orchard.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, fruit carriers used in orchards are two-wheeled rear cars and unicycles. The harvested baskets are simply moved and transported. When plucking from tree branches such as pears and apples and storing them in harvesting baskets, the work of squatting or standing up during the harvesting work with a low-load carrier would be a burden.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention provides a trolley capable of harvesting and transporting fruits in a comfortable posture without excessively bending or stretching the body when harvesting fruits.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The fruit harvesting and transporting dolly of the present invention has large wheels pivotally supported on the bottom left and right centers of the bottom of a flat rectangular pipe frame, and the handles are attached to the front and rear centers and rotated around the vertical axis. A small wheel is rotatably supported on the same ground plane as the large wheel, and a rectangular pedestal is attached to the upper part of the pipe frame.

[0005]

[Action]

 The upper surface of the pedestal is maintained at the working height by the radius of the large wheels and the height of the pipe frame, and the pedestal is stably supported by the left and right large wheels and the front and rear small wheels, and the small wheels are centered on the vertical axis. Since the tread surface is rotatable, it is involved in straight running when the tread surface is parallel to the tread surface of the large wheel, and is stationary when the tread surface of the small wheel is orthogonal to the tread surface of the large wheel.

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, in the left-right center of a flat rectangular pipe frame 1 having a length of a length such that the tops of the large wheels 2 can be accommodated on the lower surface of the pipe frame 1. In addition, a leg 3 is hung down, and large wheels are rotatably supported at the lower ends of the legs 3. A stanchion 4 of a required length is hung at the center of the front and rear of the pipe frame 1, and a vertical shaft is attached to the lower end of the stanchion 4. One end of a rotatable bearing 5 is attached to the center, a bifurcated leg 6 having a required length is integrally hung at the other end (outer ring) of the bearing 5, and the large wheel 2 is connected to the lower end of the leg 6. Small wheels 7 that are grounded on the same ground plane as the ground are respectively pivotally supported, the lower ends of both struts 4 are joined by support pipes 8, and both ends of a cross pipe 9 that is joined at a right angle to the support pipe 8 are joined respectively. It is joined to the inner side of the bifurcated leg 3 in the left-right direction, and the pedestal 10 is attached to the upper part of the pipe frame 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the outer surface of the L-shaped frame 11 that hangs down from the lower surface of the pedestal 10 is fitted to the inner surface of the pipe frame 1 to position the pedestal 10, and the upper and lower front and center parts are positioned. Are formed by attaching the handles 12.

Here, the ground height (working height) of the pedestal 10 allows a worker of average height to work in a comfortable posture while standing without having to bend over to work during fruit harvesting work. The height (about 670 mm) is decided. The height is determined by the length of the bifurcated leg 3 selected with respect to the diameter of the large wheel 2 which fits on the underside of the pipe frame 1.

The fruit-carrying and carrying cart a configured as described above has a harvesting basket 13 indicated by an imaginary line placed on the pedestal 10 up to the harvesting site during harvesting of fruits such as pears and apples. The treads of the large wheels 2 and the small wheels 7 are moved to a standstill so that the treads of the small wheels 7 cross the treads of the large wheels 2 through the bearings 5 and the fruits are stored in the harvest basket 13. Are moved in parallel, or appropriately rotated by moving around the grounding point of the large wheel 2. At this time, the height of the surface of the harvesting basket 13 that can be harvested in a comfortable posture while standing up makes the harvesting and storing work efficient, and the pedestal 10 is supported by four wheels. Therefore, it can safely stand even on an uneven slope.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 According to the fruit harvesting carriage of the present invention, since the pedestal 10 as the loading platform is located above the large wheels 2, the working width of the pedestal 10 can be made wider than the arrangement width 9 of both large wheels 2. It is easy to raise and lower 13 and has the effect of efficiently harvesting and transporting fruits in a comfortable posture while standing, without forcing the worker to take an unreasonable posture.
