本考案は、スプレー缶、家庭用ガスボンベなど空缶類に残留する残留物の抜き取りに使用する簡易式空缶類残留物抜き取り器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般家庭で、空缶類の処分をする際に、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどの空缶から残留するガスを抜く場合、キリや釘など先の尖ったものを使って空缶に穴を開けようとすると、空缶にキリや釘を突き立てたときにキリや釘が滑って手を傷つけることがある。また、空缶に穴を開けたときにガスが穴から噴き出して、これが手や顔や衣類に付着することがある。また、空缶に穴が開くときのガスの噴出音が気になって（不安で）、空缶に穴を開けることができないことがある。
このような空のスプレー缶やガスボンベのガス抜き作業に伴なう不具合を改善するために、スプレー缶やガスボンベに穴を開ける簡易式の器具が知られている。この器具は、本体が一対の挟持部材からなるはさみ構造になっていて、その一方の挟持部材の先端にスプレー缶を受ける受け部を備え、その他方の挟持部材の先端に押圧部を備え、押圧部の中心に中空の針部を設けている。この器具を使ってスプレー缶のガス抜き作業を行う場合、針部の外側開口端にチューブの一端を接続する一方、このチューブの他端を水槽内の水の中に入れておく。空のスプレー缶を本体で挟み、加圧することにより、針部をスプレー缶に刺し込み、スプレー缶に残留するガスを針部、チューブを通じて水槽の水の中に誘導放出する（例えば、特許文献１）。この器具により、ガス抜き作業に伴なう上記不具合を概ね解消できる。

【考案が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来のスプレー缶に穴を開ける器具では、ガス抜き作業を行う場合に水槽を傍らに置かなければならないため、その準備が必要で、手軽にガス抜き作業に取り掛かることができない。また、このガス抜き作業は、一般に屋外で行うため、近くに水道設備がない場合に、該器具を使用できない。また、スプレー缶のガス抜き作業は空缶類の廃棄処分の一環として行われるもので、スプレー缶の他に缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの空缶があり、これらの空缶の中に残留物があることがある。この場合、該器具がガス抜きにしか使えないために、空缶からビール、ジュース、コーヒーなどの残留物を抜き取る作業に利用することができない。
本考案は、このような従来の問題を解決し、空缶類の残留物の抜き取り作業に際し、特別の準備を要せず手軽に、スプレー缶、缶ビールなど空缶の種類に関わらず、簡単な操作で、空缶から残留物を容易に抜き取ることができ、空缶類の廃棄作業に役立つ優れた簡易式空缶類残留物抜き取り器を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本考案の簡易式空缶類残留物抜き取り器は、空缶を挟持可能な一対の挟持部材を有するはさみ構造の本体と、各挟持部材の先端側に設けられて、空缶を摩擦係合により押さえ、保持可能な押さえ部材、及び一方の押さえ部材に他方の押さえ部材に向けて突出され、空缶に突き刺し可能な突起と、各挟持部材先端に相互に他方の該先端に向けて延び、少なくともその一方に空缶に突き刺し可能な爪を有する抓み部とを備える。
この構成により、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどの空缶の場合、空缶を各挟持部材の押さえ部材間に挟み、加圧して、一方の押さえ部材から突出する突起を空缶に突き刺すことで、空缶に穴を開け、空缶内部から残留物であるガスを抜くことができる。この器具を使ったガス抜き作業の場合、空缶を各挟持部材の押さえ部材間に挟み、加圧したときに、空缶が押さえ部材に摩擦係合により固定されているので、空缶が押さえ部材間から滑って外れることがなく、一方の押さえ部材から突出する突起を空缶に確実に突き刺し、穴を開けることができる。また、突起を空缶に突き刺したときに、穴が押さえ部材で覆われて、この押さえ部材で穴と突起との隙間から噴き出すガスを遮り、ガスが飛散するのを防止できる。よって、このガスが手や顔や衣類に付着することがない。また、この押さえ部材で、空缶に穴が開くときのガスの噴出音を抑えることもでき、このガスの噴出音が気にならない。また、空缶が缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの場合、この器具の抓み部で空缶を抓み取り、分別することができ、空缶に残留物がある場合は、抓み部を加圧し、抓み部の一方の爪を空缶に突き刺すことで、空缶に穴を開け、空缶から残留物である飲み残しのビールやジュース、コーヒーなどを抜き取ることができる。この場合、空缶を本体先端の抓み部で抓みながら穴を開けるので、空缶から残留物を抜き取るときに作業者の手や衣類を汚すことがない。
【０００６】
【考案の実施の形態】
図１乃至図４に本考案の一実施の形態を示している。まず、その構成について説明する。図１において、１は簡易式空缶類残留物抜き取り器（以下、器具１と省略する。）で、本体２に、空缶に穴を開け、ガスを抜くためのガス抜き部３と、空缶を抓み、必要に応じて穴を開け、残留物を抜き取るための穴開け機能付きの抓み部４とを備える。
【０００７】
本体２は、金属製の一対の挟持部材２１により、空缶を挟持可能な全体がはさみ形に構成され、その基端部２０２に指を通す把持部２２が設けられる。
【０００８】
ガス抜き部３は、一対の挟持部材２１の先端側（先端部２０１よりも少し基端部２０２方向へ下がった位置）に設けられて、空缶を摩擦係合により押さえ、保持可能な押さえ部材３１と、一方の押さえ部材３１の中心に他方の押さえ部材３１に向けて僅かに突出され、空缶に突き刺し可能な突起３２とにより構成される。ここで各押さえ部材３１は、ゴム材その他摩擦係数の高い合成樹脂材により、図３又は図４に示すように、丸みを付けた略長方形の平面形状に形成されるとともに、図２に示すように、空缶の外周面に沿って接触可能な湾曲状の断面形状に形成され、湾曲面とは反対側の面中央に取付部３３が一体に凸状に設けられる。この取付部３３は本体２の挟持部材２１の先端側が挿通可能な取付穴３４が形成され、この取付穴３４に挟持部材２１の先端側が差し通されて摩擦係合により固定され、着脱可能に取り付けられる。また、突起３２は金属材により先端が尖ったスパイク状に形成され、図２中、上側の一方の押さえ部材３１の中心に埋設され、基部が挟持部材２１に固定される。
【０００９】
穴あけ機能付きの抓み部４は、図２に示すように、各挟持部材２１先端に相互に他方の先端に向けて延び、略先細に形成され、少なくともその一方、ここでは図２中、上側の抓み部４が鋭利に形成されて、空缶に突き刺し可能な爪４１が形成される。
【００１０】
次に、この器具１を使った空缶の残留物抜き取り作業について説明する。なおここでは、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどガス抜きが必要な空缶や、缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなど中には飲み残しがある空缶が集められている場所で、作業を行うものとして例示する。
【００１１】
この作業では、器具１先端の抓み部４を使って空缶を抓み上げながら、空缶を種類別に分別していく。
この分別中又は分別後に、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどの空缶の場合は、空缶を各挟持部材２１の押さえ部材３１間に挟み、加圧して、突起３２を空缶に突き刺すことで、空缶に穴を開け、空缶内部から残留物であるガスを抜く。この器具１を使ったガス抜き作業の場合、空缶を各挟持部材２１の押さえ部材３１間に挟み、加圧したときに、空缶が押さえ部材３１に摩擦係合により固定され、空缶が押さえ部材３１間から滑って外れることがなく、突起３２は空缶に確実に突き刺さり、穴が開けられる。また、突起３２が空缶に突き刺されたときに、穴は押さえ部材３１で覆われるので、この押さえ部材３１で穴と突起３２との隙間から噴き出すガスが遮られ、ガスの飛散が防止される。また、この押さえ部材３１で、空缶に穴が開くときのガスの噴出音が抑えられる。
【００１２】
また、缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの空缶の場合、空缶に残留物があれば、抓み部４を加圧し、抓み部４の一方の爪４１を空缶に突き刺すことで、空缶に穴を開け、空缶から残留物である飲み残しのビールやジュース、コーヒーなどを抜き取る。
【００１３】
このように上記実施の形態によれば、一対の挟持部材２１からなるはさみ構造の本体２に、一対の挟持部材２１による挟み操作により、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどの空缶に穴を開けるガス抜き部３と、缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの空缶を抓み、必要に応じて穴を開ける穴開け機能付きの抓み部４とを各別に設けているので、この器具１一つあれば、空缶類の残留物抜き取り作業に際して、特別の準備を要することなく、スプレー缶、缶ビールなど空缶の種類に関わらず、しかも簡単な操作で、空缶に穴を開けて、空缶から残留物を容易に抜き取ることができる。これによって、空缶類の廃棄作業を大幅に軽減することができる。
【００１４】
特に、この器具１の場合、空缶を各挟持部材２１の押さえ部材３１間に挟み、加圧したときに、空缶を押さえ部材３１に摩擦係合により固定するので、空缶が押さえ部材３１間から滑ってずれたり外れたりすることがなく、一方の押さえ部材３１から突出する突起３２を空缶に確実に突き刺し、穴を開けることができる。また、突起３２を空缶に突き刺したときに、穴を押さえ部材３１で覆うので、この押さえ部材３１で穴と突起との隙間から噴き出すガスを遮り、ガスが飛散するのを防止して、このガスが手や顔や衣類に付着することがない。また、この押さえ部材３１で、空缶に穴が開くときのガスの噴出音を抑えるので、作業者は安心してガス抜き作業を行うことができる。
また、器具１先端の抓み部４で缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの空缶を抓み取り、分別することができ、空缶に残留物がある場合は、抓み部４を加圧し、抓み部４の一方の爪４１で空缶に穴を開けることができ、作業者の手や衣類を汚すことなしに空缶から飲み残しのビールやジュース、コーヒーなどを抜き取ることができる。
【００１５】
【考案の効果】
以上説明したように、本考案の簡易式空缶類残留物抜き取り器によれば、はさみ構造の本体に、その挟み操作により、スプレー缶や家庭用ガスボンベなどの空缶を挟んで、加圧することにより空缶に穴を開けて、ガスを抜くガス抜き部と、缶ビールや缶ジュース、缶コーヒーなどの空缶を抓み、さらに加圧することにより空缶に穴を開ける抓み部と、２つの機能部を備えているので、空缶類の残留物の抜き取り作業を行う場合に、特別の準備を要せず手軽に、スプレー缶、缶ビールなど空缶の種類に関わらず、簡単な操作で、空缶から残留物を容易に抜き取ることができ、空缶類の廃棄作業を大幅に軽減することができるという実用的効果を奏する。

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a simple empty can residue extractor used for extracting residues remaining in empty cans such as spray cans and household gas cylinders.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When disposing of empty cans at ordinary households, when removing residual gas from empty cans such as spray cans and household gas cylinders, drill holes in the empty cans using sharp objects such as drills and nails. If you attempt to do so, the nails and nails may slip and hurt your hands when the nails and nails are pushed into the empty can. Also, when a hole is made in an empty can, gas may blow out from the hole, and this may adhere to hands, face, or clothing. In addition, the gas blowing sound when the hole is opened in the empty can may be worrisome (anxious), and the hole may not be opened in the empty can.
In order to improve such a problem associated with the operation of degassing an empty spray can or gas cylinder, a simple instrument for making a hole in the spray can or gas cylinder is known. This device has a scissor structure in which the main body is composed of a pair of holding members, and has a receiving portion for receiving the spray can at the tip of one of the holding members, and has a pressing portion at the tip of the other holding member. A hollow needle part is provided at the center of the part. When degassing a spray can using this device, one end of a tube is connected to the outer open end of the needle, and the other end of the tube is immersed in water in a water tank. By pinching an empty spray can with the main body and applying pressure, the needle portion is stabbed into the spray can, and the gas remaining in the spray can is induced and released into the water in the water tank through the needle portion and the tube (for example, Patent Document 1) ). With this device, the above-mentioned problems associated with the degassing operation can be substantially eliminated.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-11-22899
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional apparatus for making a hole in a spray can, since a water tank must be placed beside the degassing operation, preparation is required, and the degassing operation cannot be started easily. In addition, since this degassing work is generally performed outdoors, the equipment cannot be used when there is no water supply nearby. In addition, degassing of spray cans is performed as part of disposal of empty cans.In addition to spray cans, there are empty cans such as canned beer, canned juice and canned coffee. There may be residues. In this case, since the device can be used only for degassing, it cannot be used for an operation of extracting residues such as beer, juice, and coffee from an empty can.
The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and when extracting the residue of empty cans, no special preparation is required, regardless of the type of empty cans such as spray cans and canned beer. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent simple empty can residue extractor which can easily remove residues from empty cans by simple operation and is useful for empty cans disposal work.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the simplified empty can residue extractor of the present invention is provided on a scissor structure main body having a pair of holding members capable of holding an empty can, and provided at a tip side of each holding member. A pressing member that can hold and hold the empty can by frictional engagement, and a pressing member that is protruded toward the other pressing member by one pressing member and pierceable into the empty can, A handle extending toward the distal end and having at least one of the tabs having claws capable of piercing the empty can.
With this configuration, in the case of an empty can such as a spray can or a household gas cylinder, the empty can is sandwiched between the holding members of each holding member, pressurized, and a projection projecting from one of the holding members is pierced into the empty can. A hole can be made in the empty can, and the residual gas can be released from the inside of the empty can. In the case of degassing work using this device, when the empty can is sandwiched between the holding members of each holding member and pressurized, the empty can is fixed to the holding member by frictional engagement, so the empty can is held down The protrusion protruding from one of the pressing members can be reliably pierced into the empty can and a hole can be formed without slipping off from between the members. Further, when the projection is pierced into the empty can, the hole is covered with a pressing member, and this pressing member blocks gas ejected from a gap between the hole and the projection, thereby preventing the gas from scattering. Therefore, this gas does not adhere to hands, face, or clothing. Further, the pressing member can suppress the sound of gas ejection when a hole is opened in the empty can, and does not care about the sound of gas ejection. If the empty can is a can of beer, can juice, canned coffee, etc., the empty can can be picked up and separated using the knob of this appliance. Is pressed, and one nail of the knob is pierced into the empty can, thereby making a hole in the empty can and extracting residual beer, juice, coffee, and the like, which are leftovers, from the empty can. In this case, since the hole is opened while the empty can is gripped by the knob at the tip of the main body, the hands and clothes of the worker are not stained when removing the residue from the empty can.
[0006]
[Embodiment of the invention]
1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. First, the configuration will be described. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a simple type empty can residue extractor (hereinafter abbreviated as “apparatus 1”). A handle 4 for picking up the can, making a hole as necessary, and removing a residue;
[0007]
The main body 2 is configured so as to be entirely scissorable by a pair of metal holding members 21 so as to be able to hold an empty can.
[0008]
The degassing portion 3 is provided on the distal end side (a position slightly lower than the distal end portion 201 toward the base end portion 202) of the pair of holding members 21, and is a pressing member capable of pressing and holding the empty can by frictional engagement. 31 and a projection 32 slightly protruding from the center of one pressing member 31 toward the other pressing member 31 and capable of piercing an empty can. Here, each pressing member 31 is formed of a rubber material or a synthetic resin material having a high coefficient of friction as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. The mounting portion 33 is integrally formed in a convex shape at the center of the surface opposite to the curved surface so as to be able to contact along the outer peripheral surface of the empty can. The mounting portion 33 is formed with a mounting hole 34 through which the distal end side of the holding member 21 of the main body 2 can be inserted. The distal end side of the holding member 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 34 and fixed by frictional engagement. Can be The protrusion 32 is formed in a spike shape with a sharp tip made of a metal material. The protrusion 32 is buried in the center of one upper holding member 31 in FIG. 2, and the base is fixed to the holding member 21.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 2, the knobs 4 with a punching function extend toward the other end of each of the holding members 21 and are formed to be substantially tapered, and at least one of them is an upper side in FIG. Is formed sharply, and a claw 41 that can pierce the empty can is formed.
[0010]
Next, a description will be given of the operation of extracting the residue from the empty can using the device 1. In this case, work is performed in empty cans that need to be degassed, such as spray cans and household gas cylinders, and in places where there are empty cans such as canned beer, canned juice, canned coffee, etc. As an example.
[0011]
In this work, the empty cans are sorted by type while picking up the empty cans using the knob 4 at the tip of the appliance 1.
During or after this separation, in the case of an empty can such as a spray can or a household gas cylinder, the empty can is sandwiched between the holding members 31 of the sandwiching members 21, pressurized, and the projections 32 are pierced into the empty can. Drill a hole in the empty can and remove the residual gas from the inside of the empty can. In the case of the degassing operation using this device 1, when the empty can is sandwiched between the holding members 31 of the holding members 21 and pressurized, the empty can is fixed to the holding member 31 by frictional engagement. The protrusions 32 are securely pierced into the empty can and a hole is formed without slipping off from the space between the pressing members 31. Further, when the projection 32 is pierced into the empty can, the hole is covered with the pressing member 31, so that the gas ejected from the gap between the hole and the projection 32 is blocked by the pressing member 31, thereby preventing the gas from being scattered. . In addition, the pressing member 31 suppresses the sound of gas ejection when a hole is opened in the empty can.
[0012]
In addition, in the case of empty cans such as canned beer, canned juice, and canned coffee, if there is any residue in the empty can, the knob 4 is pressurized, and one nail 41 of the knob 4 is pierced into the empty can. Then, a hole is made in the empty can, and beer, beer, juice, coffee and the like, which are leftovers, are removed from the empty can.
[0013]
As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the gas that forms a hole in an empty can such as a spray can or a household gas cylinder by the sandwiching operation of the pair of sandwiching members 21 is applied to the body 2 of the scissor structure including the pair of sandwiching members 21. Since the punching portion 3 and the knobs 4 each having a punching function for picking up empty cans such as canned beer, canned juice, and canned coffee and punching holes as needed are provided separately, If you can remove the residue of empty cans without special preparation, regardless of the type of empty cans, such as spray cans, canned beer, and with a simple operation, drill holes in the empty cans, The residue can be easily removed from the empty can. As a result, the work of disposing of empty cans can be greatly reduced.
[0014]
In particular, in the case of this device 1, since the empty cans are sandwiched between the holding members 31 of the holding members 21 and pressurized, the empty cans are fixed to the holding members 31 by frictional engagement. The protrusion 32 protruding from one of the pressing members 31 can be reliably pierced into the empty can and a hole can be formed without slipping or coming off from the space. Further, when the projection 32 is pierced into the empty can, the hole is covered with the pressing member 31, so that the gas ejected from the gap between the hole and the projection is blocked by the pressing member 31, thereby preventing the gas from being scattered. Gas does not adhere to hands, face or clothing. In addition, since the pressing member 31 suppresses the sound of gas emission when a hole is opened in the empty can, the operator can perform the degassing operation with peace of mind.
In addition, empty cans such as canned beer, canned juice, and canned coffee can be picked up and separated by the knob 4 at the tip of the appliance 1, and if there is any residue in the empty can, the knob 4 is added. Pressing, a hole can be made in the empty can with one of the claws 41 of the knob portion 4, and beer, juice, coffee, and the like left undrinked can be extracted from the empty can without soiling the hands and clothes of the worker. .
[0015]
[Effect of the invention]
As described above, according to the simplified empty can residue extractor of the present invention, the canister is sandwiched by a scissor structure body to pressurize an empty can such as a spray can or a household gas cylinder. A degassing part that pierces the empty can and removes the gas, and a grip part that pierces the empty can of beer, can juice, canned coffee, etc., and further pressurizes to pierce the empty can. Easy to operate without any special preparation, regardless of the type of empty cans, such as spray cans and canned beer, when removing empty cans, because there are two functional parts. Therefore, the residue can be easily extracted from the empty cans, and the practical effect of greatly reducing the work of disposing of empty cans can be achieved.
