Description

The present invention relates to a picker that is excellent in operability and safety in which a fruit handle can be cut out with one hand when fruits such as vegetables and fruit trees are harvested.

When harvesting fruits such as vegetables and fruits, it is common to grab the fruits with one hand and cut the fruit handle with the scissors in the other hand. Always keep the scissors in one hand while working. The other hand you do not have is used to grab the fruit. Therefore, when working on high places such as on trees or stepladders, or when harvesting on steep slopes, it is difficult to work while supporting the body by catching on branches, etc., and it has to be unstable. . Even in flat fields such as fields, hands with scissors are difficult to use for operations other than picking, and are inefficient. In order to solve such problems, there is a need for tools that enable efficient harvesting operations while using both hands freely and ensuring safety.

A number of picking devices that can be picked with one hand, or similar ones, have been registered in patents and utility models with complex functions and relatively simple functions and shapes. If we examine a simple function picker like this one, most of them are not suitable for continuous work.

Among the above-mentioned problems, there are those that cut the fruit handle with a movement that closes the thumb and index finger on the blade attached to the thumb, those that cut the fruit pattern with a movement that pushes the hand with the blade attached forward, etc. is there. In this method, it is not easy to cut the fruit reliably, and sometimes it seems that you have to use the other hand that is free.

It is easier to apply force and less fatigue when the thumb is bent at a right angle and the nail is raised than when the thumb with the blade is closed on the index finger side. In addition, if an index finger is attached to protect the index finger from the blade tip, the handle can be cut off more reliably by placing the handle on the index finger and pressing the blade tip of the blade. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a picker that satisfies the above requirements and enables efficient work with less fatigue even during long working hours.

The picker according to the present invention includes a finger sack that can be fitted to a dominant hand thumb with a blade for cutting a fruit handle attached to the upper holder, and a blade tip of the blade for reliably cutting the fruit handle, and It is composed of a stretchable finger band that can be fitted to a forefinger with a sheet that protects the dominant index finger from the blade edge attached to the middle part of the index finger.

When harvesting fruits such as vegetables and fruit trees, grab the fruit with your dominant hand, place the fruit handle on the sheet pasted on the middle part of the index finger, and place the blade edge of the blade attached to the thumb at an angle that raises the nail on the index finger Press the fruit handle and cut it out, and take the fruit as it is in the harvest basket. The movement and angle of the thumb that raises the nail during this cut-out makes it easier to apply force and less fatigue of the finger.

The position of the index finger that puts the fruit handle when grasping the fruit can be naturally placed on the middle section without concentrating on consciousness. Even when the position of the fruit pattern is shifted to the left or right, it is possible to safely cut the fruit pattern without damaging the index finger by using a cut-resistant fiber as the material of the finger band for attaching the sheet.

It is possible to pick up the fruit with just one hand in a state close to a bare hand that simply attaches a picker to the dominant hand. In addition, the other free hand can be used for other than supporting the body and picking, which enables safe and efficient work for a long time.

It is a schematic diagram of a state in which the fruit is gripped with the palm of the right hand, the handle placed on the middle finger of the index finger is pressed with the edge of the blade, and the gripped fruit is picked up. It is a schematic diagram of a picking device in which a finger sack is fitted to the right thumb and a finger band is fitted to the right index finger from above the work gloves.

It is the figure which looked at the state when the band which stuck the sheet | seat of the blade edge | tip receptacle on the right hand index finger was seen from the fingertip side with the right side of the right hand index finger up.

An embodiment of the picker of the present plan will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 11. 3 to 7 show a finger sack of the picker, and FIGS. 8 to 11 show a finger band in which a sheet is attached to the index finger.

For safety reasons, the picker should be worn on work gloves.

The finger sack 3a of the picker according to the present plan has a function that the slits 3b on both sides are narrowed by tightening the mounting belt 4 so that the finger can be tightly attached to the thumb.

To make it easier to tighten the belt 4 when the finger sack 3a is fitted, the back of the velcro tape 5a at the tip is joined in advance to the back of the finger sack 3a from the rear part of the holder 2 to the tip of the thumb base side by adhesion etc. Yes.

In order to prevent the finger sack 3a from coming out of the thumb, the finger sack 3a from the back of the holder 2 to the rear end is tightened from the back of the holder 2 to the base of the thumb by the elastic belt 4. Further, when the belt 4 is joined with the magic tapes 5a and 5b, the finger sack 3a is securely bound to the thumb.

The holder 2 provided on the upper part of the finger sack 3a is joined by bonding or the like from the bottom part to the substantially center of the back of the finger sack 3a to the tip. The holder 2 is rectangular except for the tip in plan view, the tip is a convex arc of approximately 70 ° to 90 ° from the tip to the back, and the whole is curved in a convex arc from the center top to the lower side on both sides. The bottom side has a shape substantially along the back surface of the thumb. The holder 2 preferably has a width of 25 mm, a thickness of 5 mm, and a length to the center tip of 13 mm, excluding the tip, but the size is not particularly limited.

The material of the finger sack 3a is not particularly limited as long as the thickness of the finger sack 3a is such that when the band 4 is tightened, the slit is narrowed so that the finger sack 3a can be in close contact with the thumb. The material of the holder 2 is preferably a hard resin for fixing the blade body 1a, and the back of the finger sack 3a to be joined to the bottom part of the holder 2 Requires reinforcement with any material that can withstand the load.

The insertion hole 1c of the holder 2 having a shape that can be fixed in close contact with the blade body 1a preferably has a length of approximately 3mm from the rear approximately 3mm to the front center tip of the holder 2 and is positioned in the middle of the upper and lower sides and the left and right of the holder 2. .

The blade body 1a has a thickness of about 2 mm and a width of about 15 mm, and is curved in a convex arc shape from the cutting edge to the base at the same curvature as the holder 2 in the vertical direction. The cutting edge 1b has the same curvature as the holder 2 in plan view. And has a convex arc shape. By using this type of cutting edge, the cutting error rate can be reduced.

The blade body 1a is inserted into the insertion hole 1c of the holder 2, and is fixed to the holder 2 by a screw 6b inserted through the screw hole 6a of the holder 2 and penetrating the screw hole 6c of the blade body 1a. The blade body 1a can be changed depending on the thickness of the fruit pattern to be cut, and the length of the blade edge 1b protruding from the holder 2 is the same length from the center tip to the tip on both sides, 3mm, 7mm and 10mm. The overall length of the blade body 1a is preferably within 20 mm at the longest up to the center tip of the blade tip, which is preferable from the viewpoint of safety.

Since the cutting edge 1b continuously hits the same part of the index finger, a certain part of the index finger is burdened. For this purpose, it is necessary to have a function as a cutting board for receiving the blade edge of the knife at the middle finger portion of the index finger. Therefore, the sheet 8 receives the cutting edge 1b and can reliably cut the handle, and further requires a material for preventing pain caused by continuous pressing of the index finger. As a material for solving these problems, polypropylene is suitable, and a thickness that is easy to work with is preferably about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

The sheet 8 that receives the cutting edge 1b is attached to the middle finger portion of the index finger by bonding or the like to the band 7, and has a shape and size that does not cover the index finger base and the last joint when the finger is bent and the handle is cut off.

The band 7 to which the sheet 8 for receiving the blade edge 1b is attached preferably has a length that can cover from the vicinity of the tip of the index finger to the index finger base. Further, the material is stretchable to easily bend the index finger, and it is necessary to use a cut resistant fiber that can protect the index finger when the cutting edge 1b is displaced from the sheet 8.

It can be used mainly for harvesting fruits and vegetables in the agricultural field, but it can also be used for fruit picking, shoots, pruning of stems, and taking in flowers.
