Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a bucket type snow remover that slides on snow and transports snow.A snow remover that was used only during snowfall during the winter season is used for purposes other than snow removal throughout the season. It is related to the improvement of the snow removal tool devised so that it can be used.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Now, snow removal work in a snowy area requires a lot of time and labor. And when it comes to snow-removing work, the effectiveness of shovels has always been the same. However, with a scoop, there is a limit to the amount of snow that can be moved in a single movement, and work efficiency is poor. Therefore, as a tool that can move a large amount of snow at once, a bucket-type snow remover was devised, in which a handle is attached to a large bucket, the bucket is fully loaded with snow, and the bucket slides on the snow to move. Work efficiency has improved considerably.

On the other hand, the bucket type snow removal tool is convenient for sliding on snow, but if the road surface or pavement surface after snow removal is dragged, the labor required is great and the bucket is severely damaged. Although it can be used for various purposes other than the above, it is difficult to use bucket-type snow removal tools for purposes other than snow removal, and most of the time they were left in the warehouse during periods other than the snowy season. In order to eliminate such low operating rate, it has been proposed to add a wheel to the bucket type snow removing tool so that it can be easily moved even after snow removal on the road surface, pavement surface, and other than the snowy season. . Many of these techniques can be found, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-52552, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 51-66646, and the like.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Many of these conventional publicly known technologies have poor versatility, for example, the wheels are fixed to the bucket, the detaching operation is complicated even if they are detachable, or some processing is performed on the bucket body. Many were specific to a particular bucket.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, in the present invention, in the bucket snow removing tool, a plate-like member that can be curved according to the shape of the lower surface of the bucket, wheels rotatably supported by the plate-like member, and the rear part of the plate-like member are locked. It is composed of a length adjusting member and a locking member which is connected to the length adjusting member and can be locked to the rear end of the bucket. The front end of the plate member can be locked to the front end of the bucket. It consists of a series of mechanisms.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment will be described. In a bucket snow removal tool, a plate-shaped member made of metal, synthetic resin, or a composite material thereof that can be curved according to the shape of the lower surface of the bucket, and one or a pair of rotatably supported on the plate-shaped member. A wheel, a length adjusting member made of a spring, a rubber-like member or a member similar to these, which is locked to the rear portion of the plate member, and is connected to the length adjusting member and locked to the rear end portion of the bucket. And a locking member such as a hook that can be locked, and a mechanism that can lock the front end of the bucket is connected to the front end of the plate member.

In the snow removal tool, preferably, the length adjusting member is locked to the plate-like member via a member such as a chain member or a cord member whose length can be adjusted.

More preferably, the mechanism which is provided at the front end of the plate-shaped member and can be locked to the front end of the bucket bends the front end of the plate-shaped member into a U-shape or V-shape to cover the front end of the bucket. It is a structure.

[0009]

【Example】

 Examples will be described. The gist of the present invention is as defined in each claim, and is to provide an auxiliary wheel that can be mounted on various bucket type snow removal tools by means of a removable wheel and its mounting and demounting mechanism.

Specifically, as shown in the figure, a plate-like member 8 arranged on the bottom surface 3 of the snow removing bucket equipped with a handle 2 for operation, and a length for connecting the bucket rear end 7 and the plate-like member 8 A spring 11 serving as an adjusting member, a chain 12 serving as an adjustable member for connecting the plate member 8 and the spring 11 and a spring 11 for locking the spring 11 to the bucket rear end portion 7 are provided. The hook 13 is a locking member, and the plate-shaped member front end portion 9 is formed so as to be folded back upward in a U-shape or V-shape and locked to the bucket front end portion 6.

The plate member 8 is preferably a metal plate. Metal plates are effective because they have excellent strength, durability, and impact resistance. In addition to metal plates, synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polycarbonate, composite resin such as FRP or composite material of metal and synthetic resin is a material that can be curved according to the shape of the bucket 1 and has sufficient strength to withstand use. Anything that has it can be effectively used.

The spring 11 is preferably effective as the length adjusting member, but rubber or rubber-like synthetic resin may be effectively used similarly to the spring 11. In addition to directly connecting the spring 11 to the plate member 8, by interposing a chain 12 between the plate member 8 and the spring 11 or between the spring 11 and the bucket rear end portion 7, The number of links of the chain 12 is increased or decreased to flexibly respond to the size of the bucket 1. Further, in addition to the chain 12, rope-shaped members such as ropes and strings can be used, and can be effectively used similarly to the chain 12.

The plate member front end portion 9 is bent in a U shape or a V shape and is formed so as to be hooked on the bucket front end portion 6 to be locked. As another embodiment, a hook-shaped member 14 is attached to the front end 9 of the plate-shaped member, and the hook-shaped member 14 can be hooked on the front end 6 of the bucket and used to achieve the same effect. Any of these can be effectively applied.

A wheel 15 is rotatably supported on the lower surface of the plate-shaped member 8 at an appropriate position and at a position where it is engaged with the bucket bending portion 4. The wheel 15 may be a single wheel, but it is effective to arrange the two wheels as shown in the figure so as to project to both sides of the bucket 1 in consideration of stability during use. The wheels 15 are locked to both ends of an axle 17 arranged on the left and right of the plate member 8 and are rotatably supported on the plate member 8.

On the lower surface in the vicinity of the front end portion 9 of the plate member, a protrusion member 16 is provided in consideration of protection of the lower surface of the plate member 8 and weight balance. This projecting member 16 is sufficiently effective if it is arranged at one place in the center, but it is also possible to arrange two projecting members at left and right symmetrical positions, if necessary, in consideration of the size and strength of the bucket 1. It is arranged selectively.

The member configured as described above is arranged at the lower portion of the bucket 1, the front end portion 9 of the plate-shaped member is hooked on the front end portion 6 of the bucket, and the hook 13 disposed at the rear end portion 10 of the plate-shaped member is attached to the rear end portion 7 of the bucket. Assembly can be completed easily just by hooking on. The disassembling can be easily done by removing the hook 13 at the bucket rear end 7 and removing the bent portion of the plate-shaped member front end 9 from the bucket front end 6 in the reverse order of the above-described assembly.

In the assembled state, the plate-like member 8 protects the bucket lower surface 5, protects the bucket 1 from a collision with a sudden obstacle in use, and prevents the bucket 1 from being damaged. In addition, when the plate-shaped member 8 of the present invention is mounted on the bucket 1, it can be used as a two-wheeled vehicle, and when the bottom of the bucket 1 is in a substantially horizontal state, it is easy to place an article on it, and the handle can be used when moving. It is more convenient that 2 is near the surface of the earth and that it is within easy reach when a person is standing. Therefore, the projecting member 16 disposed on the lower surface near the front end portion 9 of the plate-shaped member is arranged so that the weight of the entire bucket 1 is biased to the rear, and the load is arranged to the front so that the bucket 1 moves to the rear. It works effectively so as not to fall.

In this way, it can be used as a snow removal tool during snowfall in winter, and can be used as a simple trolley by simply adding wheels during non-snowfall. Moreover, this switching can be performed extremely easily and can prevent the sleep of the snow removal equipment to be utilized throughout the year, thus solving the problem of storage space.

[0019]

[Effect of the invention]
