  Disposable gas containers are filled with liquefied gas such as butane and are mainly used as fuel for portable gas burners. When the filled gas is consumed, it is replaced with a new gas container, and the used empty gas container is discarded.

  Usually, the gas container is not replaced when the gas is completely exhausted, but is often replaced when the gas burner's thermal power is reduced. In this case, a small amount of gas remains inside the gas container.

  If the gas container in which the gas remains is not separated and collected, or if it is inadvertently disposed of with general garbage, there is a risk that the gas container will explode when it is incinerated with garbage at the incineration site. Therefore, it is necessary to completely discharge the residual gas in the gas container at the time of disposal. In this regard, on the surface of the gas container, there is a notice for the user that a hole must be made in the empty container and the remaining gas must be discharged and discarded.

  Conventionally, in order to pierce a metal gas container, a tool having a sharp tip and high strength, for example, a drill, a screwdriver, a knife or the like has been used.

  However, when the gas container is discarded, there is a case where such a drilling tool is not held, and there is a problem that the residual gas cannot be effectively discharged. Furthermore, when using such a drilling tool, it is necessary to fix and drill a cylindrical gas container. However, the fixing is not easy and there is a risk of injury to the hand during the drilling operation.

  In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to enable easy and safe drilling of an exhaust hole for discharging the residual gas in the gas container, and to promote the drilling work by the user himself. Disclosed is a disposable gas container disposal tool that can reduce the risk of explosion accidents.

Moreover, since it is comprised so that attachment and removal are possible in order to attach a waste tool to a gas container, the tool for drilling is not required.

  In addition, exhaust holes can be easily and safely drilled in the gas container. For this reason, it is possible to promote the drilling work by the user himself and reduce the risk of the explosion accident of the waste gas container.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of a disposal tool according to the present invention. A disposal tool 10 of the present invention is formed from a metal plate-like body 12. The plate-like main body 12 has a width and a thickness that do not cause deformation even when a slight force is applied. A plurality of long reinforcing ribs 16 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed on the flat surface of the plate-like main body 12 to ensure strength against bending deformation in the longitudinal direction.

  The disposal tool 10 includes a locking portion 14 for locking to the lower edge portion 22 (see FIG. 2) of the disposable gas container 20 when the exhaust hole is drilled. The locking portion 14 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like main body 12. In the present embodiment, one end of the plate-like main body 12 is folded over the entire width, so that the locking portion 14 is formed integrally with the plate-like main body 12.

  The shape of the locking portion 14 is not limited to the folded shape, and any shape can be used as long as it can be locked to the lower edge portion 22 of the gas container 20. It is also possible to configure the locking portion 14 separately from the plate-like main body 12. Further, it is not necessary to make the width of the locking portion 14 coincide with the width of the plate-like main body 12.

  The waste tool 10 includes a perforating portion 18 for perforating an exhaust hole in the gas container 20. The perforated portion 18 is provided at a position close to the locking portion 14 and is plate-shaped facing the outer wall surface of the gas container 20 when the locking portion 14 is locked to the lower edge portion 22 of the gas container 20. The main body 12 is formed on the surface side. For this reason, at the time of drilling work, the pointed portion of the drilled portion 18 is provided so as to protrude toward the outer wall surface of the gas container 20.

  The perforated part 18 is formed by cutting the plate-like main body 12 into a V shape, bending it, and projecting the tip part. For this reason, in this embodiment, the perforated part 18 is formed integrally with the plate-like main body 12. It is also possible to configure the perforated part 18 separately from the plate-like main body 12. In this case, it is preferable that the perforated portion 18 is formed in a sharp shape such as a conical shape or a tip of a drill.
