Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Providing a scissors tool that allows you to pick up dust and empty cans in a comfortable position without getting your hands dirty, and at the same time sort aluminum cans and steel cans while picking them up. To do. [Structure] A pair of handles (1, 2) having inwardly bent claws (5) for inward bending are formed on a resilient hinge (3) folded back in a hairpin shape, and a fastener (6). And each of them is connected to form a scissors tool (a). Then, a pocket (7) is formed at the tip of one handle (1), and the magnet (4) is mounted such that its attracting surface is recessed so as to follow the outer circumference of the empty can.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[Field of Industrial Application] [0001] The present invention makes it easy for ordinary people to pick up trash, pick up empty cans, and rearrange them thereafter, and also easily separate aluminum cans from steel cans. This is related to the equipment for sorting and sorting empty cans.

[Prior Art] When a general person picks up dust or empty cans in the surrounding environment, he or she usually bends over with his work gloves and picks up a barbecue. Fire scissors were used. However, with fire scissors, it is not possible to separate empty cans for subsequent recycling, so I had to hold each one individually and look at the mark for identification or use a horseshoe-shaped magnet etc. to perform separation work. .

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Bend over to pick up garbage and empty cans, and to sort the collected empty cans for recycling, bend down one by one and look at the discrimination mark. However, it is very laborious because it is done using horseshoe-shaped magnets. Also, the empty cans are wet or dirty with mud, so even if I was working with gloves, I felt discomfort because I couldn't feel it while immersing them inside. This is one of the causes of obstacles to the environmental beautification campaign and promotion of the recycling campaign. The present invention seeks to solve these problems.

[Means for Solving the Problem] A pair of handles (1, 2) having appropriate lengths, in which the tips are bent inward to form the claws (5) for scissors, The hinge (3) is folded back to form the scissors tool (a). Then attach one or more magnets (4) to the tip of the handle (1). At this time, attach the magnet (4) by making it so that the adsorption surface follows the outer circumference of the empty can. The sorting tool for separating empty cans configured as described above.

[Operation] The present invention has the following operations. First, if you bring the magnet's attraction surface closer to the empty can, the steel can will stick to it, so pick it up as it is. On the other hand, aluminum cans do not stick to them, so you can pick them up like ordinary dust. In this way, aluminum cans and steel cans can be sorted during the picking up operation. And it has the same effect on crushed cans.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Figures 1 to 6 show the first embodiment. A pair of plastic handles (1, 2) with a length of about 45 cm are connected to a hairpin-shaped elastic hinge (3) with a fastener (6) to form a scissors tool (a). . Form the pocket (7) at the tip of the handle (1) and attach the magnet (4). The attraction surface of the magnet (4) has a concave shape to match the outer circumference of the empty can. The upper side of the pocket (7) is projected more outward than the lower side, so that the magnet (4) attracting surface can be easily applied to the outer circumference of the empty can on the ground, making it easier to suck up the empty steel can. The jaw (9) is for fixing the magnet (4) in the pocket (7). In addition, from the tips of the handles (1, 2), inwardly, the claws (5) for scissors that are bent about 1 cm are formed integrally. This is to make it easier to pick up scraps of paper that are falling on a flat road surface, and to prevent slipping and dropping when picking up a heavy beer bottle, etc. I will. The cover (8) in Fig. 2 is made by covering the elastic hinge (3) with a dip-molded vinyl to improve the feel and prevent rust.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the elastic metal plate (11) is used for the handle (1, 2) of the scissors tool (a), the elastic hinge (3). ) And claw (5) are integrally formed. Then, a plastic pocket (7) is attached to the tip of the handle (1), and three magnets (4) are recessed and attached so that the attraction surface follows the outer circumference of the empty can. The screw (10) is for fixing the pocket (7) to the handle (1).

FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the inside of the tip of the handle (1) of the scissors tool (a) is recessed and three pockets (7) made of plastic are provided. The magnet (4) is mounted so that it is recessed so that the adsorption surface follows the outer circumference of the empty can.

By using the present invention, you can pick up dust and empty cans on the ground in a comfortable position without soiling your hands. Then, to pick up an empty can, first the magnet's attraction surface is randomly approached to the empty can. If it is a steel can, it will stick to it, so pick it up and store it in a steel bag. If it does not stick, it is an aluminum can, so pick it up like dust and store it in an aluminum bag. In this way, aluminum and steel can be separated at the same time during the picking up operation.

[Effect of the device] By using this device, you can pick up dust and empty cans in a comfortable posture without getting your hands dirty. In addition, you can sort out aluminum and steel while picking up empty cans. In particular, it is interesting to pick up an empty steel can by attracting a magnet, and you can enjoy it while hitting the aluminum and steel, so it is useful for promoting environmental beautification and recycling activities.
