A cylindrical shaft case fixed to the shaft 4, a rotating shaft rotatably inserted into the shaft case 3, 5 a brush attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 4, and 6 fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 4. Rotation input handle.

  The stationary table 1 has a main body 1A made of a rectangular plate that is horizontal with respect to a floor surface having a width a1 in the range of 25 cm to 35 cm and a length a2 in the range of 25 cm to 45 cm. It consists of a support leg member 7 made of a rubber material or an equivalent material fixed at the four corners of the lower surface. The main body 1A may be made of either a metal material or a synthetic resin material. When the person wearing the shoe s presses down the main body 1A with the shoe s, the entire manual shoe polisher is pressed. It has enough strength. Further, the upper surface of the main body 1A receives most of the lower surface of the shoe s worn on one leg (preferably all and preferably wider), and the weight of the person who uses the manual shoe polisher through the shoe s is small. It has at least a width including an acting force point.

  The covering member 2 is formed by bending a rectangular metal plate into a dome shape so that a substantially trapezoidal cross section is formed, thereby forming left and right side portions 2a, 2b and an upper surface portion 2c. The narrow joint surface portions b1 and b1 are formed, and the maximum width between the left and right lower end portions is matched with the width a1 of the main body portion 1A, and the length c1 is in the range of 150 mm to 250 mm. The height c2 is in the range of 150 mm to 200 mm. The left and right joint surface portions b1 and b1 are in contact with the upper surface of the main body 1A and are coupled and fixed to the main body 1A with a plurality of set screws 3. A through hole d1 for inserting the lower end portion of the rotating shaft 4 is formed at a position near the center of the upper surface portion 2c.

  The shaft case 3 is a straight tube member having a length in the range of 50 cm to 80 cm and an inner diameter of about 40 mm, and is fixed upright on the upper surface portion 2c of the cover member 2 concentrically with the through hole d1. Yes. The shaft case 3 exists between the covering member 2 and the rotation input handle 6 and covers the rotation shaft 4.

  An annular plate e1 is fixed to the upper end surface of the shaft case 3, and a bearing 8 is fixed on the annular plate e1 via a bolt. A bearing 9 is also fitted and positioned inside the lower end portion of the shaft case 3. These bearings 8 and 9 may be a rolling type provided with a ball bearing, or may be a sliding type provided with no ball bearing. The rotating shaft 4 is made of a straight metal rod and has a diameter of about 10 mm. The rotating shaft 4 is inserted into the shaft case 3 and rotated at a fixed height position in the shaft case 3 through two bearings 8 and 9. It is supported freely. The rotary shaft 4 has most of the entire length located in the shaft case 3, the male screw portion 4 a at the upper end and a portion near the lower side projecting upward from the bearing 8, and the lower end 4 b is relatively long. A short part is projected to the lower surface side of the covering member 2 through the through hole d1. The height of the end of the rotating shaft 4 to which the rotary input handle 6 is attached (the male screw portion 4a at the upper end) is a height that can be reached by a person seated in the wheelchair when the arm is horizontally extended. A screw hole f <b> 1 is formed at the center position of the lower end surface of the rotating shaft 4.

  The brush 5 is formed of a large number of flexible linear members 5a made of synthetic yarn such as cotton yarn, rayon yarn or polyester yarn. When the brush 5 is rotated, the linear member 5a spreads horizontally as shown by m1 in FIG. 2 depending on the degree of centrifugal force, and a wide range of shoe polishing can be executed. Here, cotton yarns, rayon yarns or polyester yarns are easily obtained from the market, are excellent in removing dirt from shoes, and are also inexpensive and excellent in durability. FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the brush 5. 3 shows that a large number of linear members 5a are arranged in a radial direction around the vertical line g1 so as to form an overall shape in a disc shape, and the circular range 5b in the central portion in the upper view is integrally coupled, and The arrangement thickness of the linear members 5a in the vertical direction is about several tens of millimeters, and a mounting through-hole 5c is formed at the center position as viewed from above. The length of each linear member 5a is determined in relation to the dimensions of the covering member 2, the arrangement of the rotating shaft 4, and the like. The brush 5 is detachably fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 4, and in the illustrated example, washers 6a and 6b are disposed above and below the circular range 5b, and are inserted into the through holes 5c and the washers 6a and 6b. The bolt 10 is structured to be screwed into the screw hole f1 of the rotary shaft 4.

  The rotation input handle 6 includes an annular main body member 11 in which a through hole j1 is formed, and a handle portion 13 that is rotatably provided around a longitudinal support shaft 12 that is fixed to an outer peripheral portion of the annular main body member 11. . The ring-shaped main body member 11 is fixed to the upper end portion of the rotary shaft 4 by screwing a nut 14 to the male screw portion 4a with the through hole j1 being fitted around the male screw portion 4a of the rotary shaft 4. ing. Instead of the ring-shaped main body member 11, a simple circular plate or a material produced by cutting it out may be used. In this way, the rotary input handle 6 becomes inexpensive.

  Next, the use example of the above-described manual shoe polisher and the operation of each part will be described with reference to the drawings. After a person with reduced mobility sitting on a wheelchair k approaches the manual shoe polisher T by the traveling movement of the wheelchair k, the user holds the shaft case 3 with one of his / her own hands, and the manual shoe polisher Reset T to a convenient position and orientation.

  Next, the whole or most of the lower surface of the shoe s of one foot worn by itself is received by the upper surface of the stationary base 1, and the front portion of the shoe s is positioned below the covering member 2 and the brush 5. Place. Then, the upper surface of the stationary table 1 is stepped on with one foot on which the shoes s on the stationary table 1 are worn. As a result, the support leg members 7 at the four corners of the stationary table 1 are pressed against the floor surface, and the manual shoe polisher T is stably held in an upright posture on the floor surface via the stationary table 1. .

  Next, the handle portion 13 is held with one hand, and the rotary input handle 6 is rotated to rotate the rotary shaft 4. At this time, since the manual shoe polisher T is held in an upright posture by the stepping force of one foot, the rotation input handle 6 is smoothly rotated with only one hand having the handle portion 13. The rotation of the rotation input handle 6 rotates the rotating shaft 4 and the brush 5 in the same body. The foot on the side where the polishing process has been completed is lowered from the stationary table 1, the wheelchair k is moved, the other leg is placed on the stationary table 1, and polished as before.

  In the process of use as described above, even if the stationary table 1 is not easily depressed and the stability of the manual shoe polisher T is impaired and it is about to fall down, if the shaft case 3 is gripped, the shaft case 3 Is fixed to the stationary base 1 and the covering member 2 in the same shape, so that the manual shoe polisher T is prevented from falling.

  In the above description, the case where a person sitting in a wheelchair k uses the manual shoe polisher T has been described. The rotation input handle 6 can be rotated and used.

  In the above-described manual shoe polisher, the stationary table 1 has a width in the range of 25 cm to 35 cm and a length in the range of 25 cm to 45 cm. It is possible to simply and reliably polish the front and rear surfaces of the shoes s without being bothered by interference between the shoe polisher T and the wheelchair k.

  In addition, the length of the shaft case 3 within the range of 50 cm to 80 cm is a stable standing state obtained by a person sitting in a wheelchair k stepping on and holding the stationary table 1 with one foot wearing shoes s. The rotary input handle 6 can be rotated with one hand.

  Furthermore, since the shaft case 3 surrounds most of the entire length of the rotating shaft 4, clothing worn by a shoe polisher is prevented from being wrapped around the rotating rotating shaft 4, and the manual shoe polisher T This makes it easier to grip the shaft case 3 even when the shaft is about to fall down.

  In addition, in the said Example, although the covering member 2 is made into the open state in the front-and-rear end surface, it is good also as a form which closed the end surface on the opposite side to a shoe insertion side instead.
