Description

  The present invention relates to an instrument for removing a snow plow.

  As shown in Fig. 5, when a parapet P is provided on the edge of the roof, such as a low-rise building or a snow-free house, or on a flat roof (flat roof; flat roof) Snow fence S is formed at the edge. Snow plow S grows with snowfall, becomes a large snow lump, protrudes outward from the edge of the roof, and falls when the weight exceeds the limit. There is a lot of damage caused by snow leopard S. This may cause damage to humans while walking, and damage the roof and window glass of adjacent houses.

  Techniques for preventing the snow leopard S have been conventionally proposed. For example, a heating wire (heating element) is arranged at the edge of the parapet P (Patent Document 1), a wire provided on the parapet P is driven up and down by a timer (Patent Document 2), and the like. However, the electrically driven snow skein prevention device is prone to failure and requires maintenance, and thus has various problems in practical use. For this reason, a snowfall prevention structure that does not perform electrical drive has been proposed. For example, it is patent document 3. FIG. This is to provide a wire netting material (net) at the edge of a roof (a wooden flat roof). The wire mesh material cuts the lump of snow and prevents growth, so it can not be made.

The problem is that measures to prevent snow storms in low-rise houses are not widespread.
In cold snowy areas, public facilities such as schools and hospitals often have various types of snow leopard prevention devices in order to avoid consideration of neighboring houses and human disasters.

  However, many private houses and low-rise apartments do not take special measures to prevent snowfall. This is because all of the conventional snowfall prevention devices require an economic burden that is not small.

  Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent accidents caused by snowfall without significant economic burden by making it possible to remove snowfall that occurs in private houses and low-rise apartments at any time using simple tools. It is in the point to.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a snow pail remover according to the present invention comprises a bottomless and uncovered tubular remover main body and a handle fixed to the remover main body. An inclined end edge portion is provided in the portion, and the inclined end edge portion is provided so that the longitudinal dimension of the removing tool main body gradually decreases from the side on which the handle portion is fixed toward the opposing surface.

  In this snow plow remover, a person standing on the ground removes the snow pail while operating the remover main body at the tip of the handle with the base end of the handle. Since a snow plow is a large lump of snow, it is dangerous to remove it all at once. Therefore, the cylindrical removal tool main body is inserted into a snow plow, and the snow that has entered the cylindrical body (removal tool main body) is slid down to the ground, gradually reducing the amount of snow. In this way, the amount of snow can be reliably reduced even when the snowfall grows large, so it can be removed safely from the ground. If the amount of snow is reduced, accidents that cause significant damage can be prevented without completely removing the snow canopy.

  When the inclined end edge portion is provided at the base end portion of the removal tool main body, the base end portion of the removal tool main body is not easily caught by the parapet and is easy to operate.

  The removal tool main body may be formed using a metal plate, and may be provided with a folded portion or a cover material at the distal end portion and the proximal end portion (claim 2).

  When using a metal plate, if the removal tool body is molded by bending or bending the flat plate, the cut surface of the flat metal plate may appear at the distal end and the base end, possibly damaging the skin. . By providing a folded portion of a metal plate or a cover material at the distal end portion and the base end portion of the removal tool main body, it is possible to protect the user's skin by sharp metal edges.

  There is a case where a hole is provided in the removing tool main body (claim 3).

  The removal tool body can be formed of resin, metal, or wood, but if the weight increases, it is difficult to operate the handle. The material of the removal tool body is selected in consideration of price, safety, lightness, etc. However, by providing a hole, the weight of the removal tool body that is a cylindrical body can be reliably reduced, and the range of material selection And can improve economic efficiency.

  According to the snow plow remover according to the present invention, a snow pail generated in a private house or a low-rise apartment can be removed at any time, and an accident caused by the snow pail can be prevented without a large economic burden.

It is a perspective view which illustrates the removal tool of the snow candy which concerns on embodiment. It is a figure which shows the state which inserted the removal tool shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the ice and snow lump slides downward from the state of FIG. 2. It is a figure which shows the effect | action of the removal tool of FIG. It is a figure which illustrates a snow leopard.

  FIG. 1 shows a snow pail remover according to an embodiment. The remover 10 includes a remover main body 11 and a handle 16 fixed to the remover main body 11.

  The remover main body 11 is formed of, for example, resin or metal. When resin is used, for example, a resin plate having a thickness of about 1 to 8 mm is bent and formed into a cylindrical shape. Resin is lightweight and easy to mold. Since it is used under low temperature conditions, it is desirable that the wall thickness be slightly increased to ensure strength. In the case of using a resin having an average high physical property among engineering plastics such as polycarbonate, even if the thickness is reduced, for example, when the thickness is set to 1 to 2 mm, it is practically used.

  When using a metal, for example, a metal plate having a thickness of about 0.4 to 5 mm is bent and formed into a cylindrical shape. For example, when a stainless steel plate is used as the metal plate, durability is maintained even with a thickness of 0.4 to 1 mm. In order to avoid sharp edges, when using metal, it is desirable to fold the distal end and the proximal end so as not to damage the user's skin. When not folded, a cover material molded with a synthetic rubber or the like at the front end and the base end can be provided to cover the sharp edges.

  An inclined end edge portion 12 is provided at the base end portion of the removal tool main body 11. The inclined edge portion 12 is provided so that the longitudinal dimension of the removing tool main body 11 gradually decreases from the side on which the handle portion 16 is fixed toward the opposing surface. Although it looks like an obliquely cut shape, the inclined edge 12 can be formed by cutting (cutting) a resin plate or a metal plate in advance and winding it into a cylindrical shape. Of course, after forming into a cylindrical shape, it may cut diagonally.

  The outer surface and inner surface of the removal tool main body 11 are smooth. This is because it is easier to pierce the ice and snow if there is no unevenness. However, a hole may be provided to reduce the weight of the removal tool main body 11. The hole can be formed in an appropriate shape such as a small round hole or a thin long hole (slit). The hole is provided to reduce the weight, but the size is set so as not to prevent the sliding of ice and snow.

  The handle portion 16 firmly fixes one end portion (tip portion) to the removing tool main body 11. For example, it is fixed by screwing at a plurality of points. You may fix by other means, for example, welding, adhesion | attachment, welding, etc.

  The handle portion 16 is desirably made of a lightweight material having strength. For example, resin hollow material, aluminum hollow material, and light wood. The handle portion 16 is set to a length that allows the removal tool main body 11 to reach the snow leopard when the operator extends his arm. Since a ladder may be used, the length may be, for example, 1 to 2 m. A simple bar or square may be used, but a so-called telescope type telescopic structure may be used.

  According to the removing tool 10, as shown in FIG. 2, when the removing tool main body 11 is inserted into the snow plow S, the ice and snow lump S 2 of the snow plow S enters the removing tool main body 11 and separates from the surrounding snow plow S. Is done. Since the ice and snow lump S2 of the snow leopard S contains a large amount of air, when the removing tool main body 11 is moved, the ice and snow lump S2 becomes slightly smaller in the removing tool main body 11 as shown in FIG. Q is made and slides down naturally as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the symbol P is a parapet, and K is a cap.

  Thus, when the removing tool main body 11 is inserted into the snow plow S and the ice and snow lump S2 is dropped many times, the amount of the snow plow S gradually decreases, so that the entire snow plow S can be removed. The remaining snowfall S can be dropped at a stroke by applying an impact to the snowfall S from the outside by the main body 11.

  Since the inclined end edge portion 12 is provided at the base end portion of the removal tool main body 11, even if the base end portion of the removal tool main body 11 comes into contact with the corner portion of the parapet P, it is not caught. This is because the removal tool main body 11 slides down in the inclined direction by the inclined end edge portion 12. For this reason, it is possible to remove the snow ridge S that has grown outward from the parapet P by an easy operation from the ground.

  The snow plow remover 10 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, although the removal tool main body 11 has been described as being formed into a cylindrical shape, it is not necessary to have a circular cross section in terms of function, and may be a polygon such as a substantially quadrangular cross section or a pentagonal cross section. If the cylindrical body has the substantially same inner diameter from the distal end portion to the proximal end tube, the removing tool main body 11 can easily remove the snowfall S. An inclined edge portion may also be provided at the distal end portion of the removal tool main body 11. When the removal tool main body 11 is molded using a metal plate, it is desirable to perform an appropriate rust prevention treatment.
