Description

  The present invention relates to a sickle holder that removably accommodates a sickle used for cutting grass, twigs, and the like.

  Conventionally, a sickle is one of the farm tools for cutting plants such as grass and twigs. The sickle generally includes a blade portion on which a straight or curved blade for cutting is formed, and a handle portion that is connected to the blade base end of the blade portion and can be gripped by an operator. ing. Although the blade portion and the handle portion differ depending on the object to be cut, the blade portion and the handle portion are connected so as to intersect at a right angle or an angle within some range before and after that. The blade for cutting the blade portion is formed on the blade edge portion that is inside the handle portion so that the object can be cut when the operator pulls the handle portion with the handle portion.

  As described above, the sickle has a structure unique to the sickle with the blade portion and the handle portion. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful in handling the sickle especially when an operator does not get injured by the blade of the blade part while carrying the sickle or receiving / storing the sickle. Conventionally, various cases and holders have been proposed for safely storing at least the blade portion of the sickle and enabling the stored sickle to be taken out.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a bag-like lowering storage bag for storing a sickle when the sickle is not used. This waist-down storage bag has a sheath portion that houses the blade portion of the sickle in the short side portion of the L-shaped bag, and an upper portion of the long side portion of the bag that is connected to the sheath portion. A groove is provided for storing. A string for attaching the storage bag to the back of the waist is provided in the groove. A stable attachment with a string on the back of the waist will not interfere with other work, and the sickle blade will be covered with the sheath so that the sickle will not fall off easily. ing.

  Another example of a sickle holder that can be carried is disclosed in Patent Document 2. A sheath for housing the sickle of the sickle holder includes a housing portion for housing the blade body of the sickle, a fastening portion for fixing the housing portion to the handle portion of the sickle, and a waist belt provided in the housing portion. It is equipped with a belt loop for hanging it. The storage portion is rotatable with respect to the belt loop. With this rotating structure, when the sickle is not stored in the storage part, the entrance for turning the sickle blade to rotate by the weight of the storage part faces upward, and when the sickle is stored in the storage part, The handle hangs down vertically due to the weight. Thus, the sickle can be safely carried by being suspended from the waist belt in the housed state, and the sickle can be easily taken in and out of the sheath.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, as a basic structure, a handle storage portion in which a vertically long storage port is formed, and a sheath-like blade storage portion that is connected to one end of the handle storage portion and opens an entrance of a sickle tip. And a sickle storage holder that includes at least a part of the storage opening to prevent the stored sickle from falling off, and a sickle storage holder provided with an attachment member provided at an appropriate position of the handle storage part. . This sickle storage holder is intended to enable smooth and safe insertion and removal of the sickle into the holder while being worn on the body even by a person who is not familiar with the sickle.

  In all of these sickle holders, the blade portion of the sickle is covered with the sheath portion of the holder. Therefore, in order to insert / remove the sickle from the sickle holder, it is necessary to insert the blade part of the sickle into / from the sheath part through the entrance / exit of the sheath part or to pull it out of the sheath part. However, the blade portion of the sickle has a considerable length and is often curved. In addition, the access port of the sheath part has a narrow shape following the cross section of the blade part of the sickle. Furthermore, in order to prevent the blade portion of the sickle from wobbling in the sheath portion, the sheath portion is fitted to the blade portion of the sickle to some extent. In order to store the sickle in the holder, the handle of the sickle is held in the hand and the blade part is taken in and out of the sheath part. However, due to the length of the blade part and the narrowness of the entrance and exit of the sheath part as described above. Usually, it is difficult to perform this operation smoothly.

  Therefore, in the sickle holder for safely housing the sickle, the blade part of the sickle is not housed in the holder by a sheath part that is inserted or removed by inserting or withdrawing along the longitudinal direction of the blade part. There is a problem to be solved in that the operation of storing and taking out the blade portion is easier, and the sickle can be stored in the holder more easily and reliably.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by making it possible to move the blade portion of the sickle in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction and to put it in and out of the holder, the structure is simple and compact. It is another object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-use sickle holder that can be easily and smoothly inserted into and removed from the holder of the blade portion of the sickle to improve the operability of accommodation and removal.

In order to solve the above problems, the sickle holder according to the present invention is
A sickle holder that houses a sickle comprising a blade part and a handle part to which the blade part is attached,
A holder body in which a groove is formed to allow at least a blade edge side portion of the blade of the sickle to be accommodated and taken out through a groove opening opened upward;
The lid includes a lid that can be closed in a manner covering the groove with respect to the holder body, and a surrounding band that is attached to the holder body and surrounds the handle portion of the sickle.

  According to this sickle holder, the blade portion of the sickle is arranged so that the groove crossing the longitudinal direction of the blade portion is along the opening direction of the groove opening that opens upward with respect to the groove of the holder body. It can be put in and out through the opening. At least the blade edge portion of the blade portion inserted through the groove opening is accommodated in the groove of the holder body. The lid that can be opened and closed with respect to the holder body is closed in a state of covering the groove. In addition, the handle portion of the sickle housed in the sickle holder is out of the holder body, but the handle portion of the sickle is surrounded by the surrounding band attached to the holder body. It will not move unexpectedly outside the sickle holder. When removing the sickle from the sickle holder, open the lid, open the groove opening upward, take out the blade of the sickle from the groove through the groove opening, and remove the sickle handle from the band. . Thereby, the whole sickle can be easily taken out from the sickle holder.

In this sickle holder, the lid can be formed with a groove capable of accommodating the peak portion of the blade portion of the sickle while being closed with respect to the holder body.
According to this sickle holder, when the lid is closed with respect to the holder main body in the state where the sickle is housed, the blade portion of the sickle has its blade edge side portion in the groove of the holder main body and the ridge side portion in the groove of the lid body. By being accommodated, the blade portion is divided and accommodated in the respective grooves by the holder main body and the lid body. In addition, when the lid is opened with respect to the holder main body with the sickle housed, the peak portion of the blade portion of the sickle can be visually confirmed, including not only the blade portion but also the handle portion. It becomes easy to take out the whole sickle from the sickle holder.

The sickle holder may include a locking metal fitting that releasably locks the lid in a closed state with respect to the holder body.
According to this sickle holder, the lid is prevented from unintentionally opening from the holder body by locking the lid to the holder body. When the blade portion of the sickle is housed in the groove, the lid body is intended by locking the lid body closed to the holder body in a state covering the groove to the holder body with a locking bracket. The sickle blade part is prevented from coming out of the holder body and is safe.

In this sickle holder, the lock state holding tool can be releasably engaged with the lock metal fitting, and the lock metal fitting is connected to the lock metal fitting. When in the engaged state, it is held in the locked state and unintentional release of the locked state can be prevented.
When the lock fitting is in a state where the lock state holder is engaged, the lock state of the lock fitting is maintained, and the lock state is not unintentionally released. Accordingly, the lid body does not unintentionally open from the holder body, and the housed sickle can be prevented from unintentionally coming out of the sickle holder, which is safe. When the locked state holding tool is released from the engagement with the locking metal fitting by the operator's intention, the unlocking operation of the locking metal fitting is permitted, and the lid can be opened from the holder body. The sickle can be removed from the sickle holder.

In this sickle holder, the surrounding band may be fixedly attached to the holder main body at both end portions thereof.
In this case, the handle portion of the sickle can be inserted into or removed from the enclosure band, and can be enclosed with or removed from the holder body.

In this sickle holder, the surrounding band is removably attached to the holder main body at either one of the two end portions, or between the two end portions fixedly attached to the holder main body. The intermediate portions can be detachably connected to each other.
When the surrounding band is detachably attached to the holder main body at either one of the two end portions, the sickle handle is wrapped around the sickle band with the surrounding band removed. By attaching the end portion to the holder body, the handle portion of the sickle can be surrounded and held by the closed surrounding band. Moreover, the enclosure holding | maintenance of the handle part of a sickle can be released by reverse operation.
When the enclosure band is detachably connected to each other at an intermediate portion between both end portions fixedly attached to the holder body, the sickle is removed by the enclosure bands on both sides in a state of being removed at the intermediate portion. By encircling the handle and connecting the end portions to each other, the handle of the sickle can be surrounded and held by the closed enclosing band. Moreover, the holding | maintenance holding | maintenance of the handle part of a sickle can be released by canceling | releasing connection of an intermediate part and opening a surrounding band.

In this sickle holder, the holder main body can be attached with a belt threader through which an operator's waist belt can be passed.
According to this sickle holder, the operator attaches the sickle holder to the waist belt and passes the sickle in the sickle holder by passing the waist belt of the worker through the belt thread attached to the holder body. You can carry it with you.

  The sickle holder according to the present invention has a structure that accommodates the blade portion of the sickle, not a sheath portion that inserts or pulls out the blade portion in the longitudinal direction, but allows insertion or removal in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction. It is comprised by the holder main body in which the groove | channel to be formed was formed, and the cover body closed with respect to a holder main body in the aspect which covers the said groove | channel, and has a very simple and compact structure. In addition, when the sickle is housed in and removed from the sickle holder, it does not require a long operating distance in the sheath direction to accommodate the blade part of the sickle, and a short operating distance can be used. As a result, the operation required to house or take out the sickle from the holder becomes very simple and smooth. Further, the handle portion of the sickle housed in the sickle holder protrudes out of the holder main body, but is surrounded and held with respect to the holder main body by a surrounding band attached to the holder main body. As a result, according to the present invention, an easy-to-use sickle holder with improved operability can be obtained.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a sickle holder according to the present invention as viewed mainly from the front side. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sickle holder shown in FIG. 1 as viewed mainly from the back side. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the sickle holder shown in FIG. 1 with its lid open. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a modification of the surrounding band used in the sickle holder shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the sickle holder shown in FIG. 1 accommodates the sickle and is mounted on the waist of the operator.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the sickle holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in each perspective view of FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the sickle holder 1 basically includes a block-shaped holder body 2, a placement state placed on the upper side of the holder body 2, and the placement state. Lid 3 movable between the disengaged state, encircling band 4 attached to holder main body 2 to enclose the handle portion of the sickle, and lock fitting for locking lid 3 to holder main body 2 5 is provided.

  The sickle 6 accommodated in the sickle holder 1 will be described. Referring to FIG. 5 as a perspective view showing a state in which the sickle 6 is housed in the sickle holder 1, the sickle 6 may be a sickle having a general structure and can be grasped by the blade portion 7 and an operator. The handle portion 8 is provided. The blade portion 7 includes a ridge 7a as a back portion of the blade and a cutting edge 7b as a blade edge portion for cutting located on the opposite side of the ridge 7a in the width direction. The blade portion 7 is attached to the tip portion 8a of the handle portion 8 at one end 7c on the blade base side. The cutting edge 7b is formed to extend linearly or to be curved on the inner side where the handle portion 8 is desired in order to cut a plant such as a plant or the like. The blade portion 7 and the handle portion 8 are connected to each other at a right angle or an angle within a predetermined range close to a right angle (usually an obtuse angle), although it varies depending on the use (reaping target). Teeth may be formed on the cutting edge 7b in a manner aligned in the longitudinal direction. When the operator pulls the handle portion 8 toward the front side, the cuttings 7b of the blade portion 7 can cut the plants and branches that are the object.

  The holder main body 2 has a block shape in which the dimensions of the lateral length Lb and the height Hb are sufficiently longer than the dimension of the width Wb. The corners on both lateral sides of the lower part of the holder body 2 are appropriately cut off in a chamfered manner in order to reduce the weight and reduce the sharp corners. As shown in FIG. 3, which is a perspective view showing the lid 3 in an opened state, a slit-like groove 23 is formed at the center in the width direction and is open on the upper surface 21 and the end surfaces 22, 22 on both sides in the lateral direction. . The groove 23 is open as a groove opening 24 on the upper surface 21. Here, the direction in which the groove opening 24 is open is a direction upward from the groove bottom side of the groove 23 through the groove opening 24 in the upper surface 21. The shape of the groove 23 is determined by a planar groove wall parallel to the outer surface of the holder body 2 and has a uniform width Ws. Therefore, the groove | channel 23 is a groove | channel which is narrow, is comparatively deep, and is extended long straightly. The width Ws of the groove 23 is slightly larger than the blade width of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6. Due to this dimensional relationship, the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 can be smoothly put in and out of the groove 23 and from the groove 23 without resistance.

  The lateral length Ls of the groove 23 is the same length as the lateral length Lb of the holder body 2. The lateral length Ls is set to a dimension longer than the length (blade span) of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 to be accommodated. Therefore, when the sickle 6 is accommodated in the sickle holder 1, the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 is accommodated in the groove 23 in the longitudinal direction, and the tip of the blade portion 7 jumps out of the sickle holder 1. Must not. In the illustrated example, the height Hs of the groove 23 is set to be slightly lower than the height of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 to be accommodated. Therefore, when the sickle 6 is accommodated in the sickle holder 1, the blade part 7 of the sickle 6 cannot be entirely accommodated in the groove 23, and a part of the blade part 7 on the peak 7 a side is a groove opening 24 of the groove 23. It protrudes upward from. A part of the blade portion 7 protruding above the groove opening 24 can be accommodated in a groove formed in the lid 3 as described later. In a state where the blade portion 7 is accommodated in the groove 23, the blade portion 7 is accommodated with a fit and without significant backlash. In the illustrated example, the groove 23 is described as being formed with a uniform width Ws. However, in order to accommodate the blade portion 7 with a further fit, the groove 23 faces the groove bottom side in accordance with the cross-sectional shape of the blade portion 7. And may be formed to be narrow.

  The lid body 3 is rotatably attached to the holder main body 2 via hinges 25, 25, and has a role of covering the upper surface 21 in a head shape with respect to the holder main body 2 to cover the holder body 2. The hinges 25, 25 have one plate attached to an edge portion (laterally long edge portion) along the long side of the upper surface 21 of the holder main body 2, and the other plate is attached to the long side of the lower surface 31 of the lid 3 corresponding thereto. It is attached to the edge part (horizontal long edge part) along. The lid 3 is placed on the upper surface 21 by the turning function of the hinges 25, 25 with respect to the holder body 2 (closed state of the groove opening 24), and placed by being separated from the upper surface 21. It is possible to move between the state where it is removed (the open state of the groove opening 24). At this time, the lid 3 opens and closes the groove opening 24 of the groove 23 of the holder body 2 depending on whether the groove opening 24 opened above the groove 23 is covered or not covered.

  The lid 3 as a whole has a block shape lower in height than the holder main body 2, that is, as shown in FIG. 3, the height Hh, the horizontal length Lh (the same as the horizontal length Lb of the holder main body 2) and It is configured in a block shape having a width Wh (the same as the width Wb of the holder main body 2), and the corners on the corners on both sides in the upper side are appropriately cut off to form a slope like the holder main body 2. ing. The lower surface 31 of the lid 3 corresponds to the upper surface 21 of the holder main body 2 in terms of size and mutual arrangement. That is, the size of the lower surface 31 of the lid 3 is the same size as the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2. When the lid 3 is rotated by the hinges 25, 25 and placed on the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2, the lower surface 31 of the lid 3 is aligned with and overlaps the upper surface 21.

  A groove 33 that opens to the lower surface 31 is formed in the lid 3. When the lid 3 is closed with respect to the holder body 2, the groove 33 of the lid 3 is formed so as to be aligned with and continuous with the groove 23 of the holder body 2. The groove 33 can accommodate a portion of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 on the ridge 7a side, that is, a portion of the blade portion 7 that protrudes upward from the groove opening 24 of the groove 23 of the holder body 2. The groove 33 may be formed to have a uniform depth in order to accommodate the portion of the blade portion 7 on the ridge 7a side. However, as shown in FIG. You may form as an arc-shaped groove | channel where the depth becomes deep in the center part. The groove 33 formed in an arc shape moves so that the blade portion 7 tends to come out from the groove 33 in the laterally long direction due to the fitting of the arc shapes in a state where the portion of the blade portion 7 on the arc-shaped peak 7a side is just accommodated. The blocking action can be exerted on the blade portion 7.

  When the lid 3 is closed with respect to the holder body 2 while the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 is housed in the holder body 2, the portion on the blade edge 7 b side of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 is in the groove 23 of the holder body 2. The portion on the 7a side is accommodated in the groove 33 of the lid 3. Further, when the lid 3 is opened with respect to the holder main body 2 with the sickle 6 being accommodated, a portion of the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 on the ridge 7a side can be visually confirmed, and the subsequent blade portion It is easy to take out the entire sickle 6 including the handle 8 as well as 7 from the sickle holder 1.

  The holder body 2 is provided with a surrounding band 4 so as to surround one end face 22 thereof. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the surrounding band 4 is configured such that both end portions 41 and 41 (only one is shown in each figure) of the band main body 40 are screwed to the front and back surfaces of the holder main body 2 with screws. By being stopped, it is fixedly attached to the holder body 2. As shown in the figure, the surrounding band 4 has a flexible half-cylinder structure in which the band body 40 is bent and the top and bottom are opened. The handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 can be taken in and out of the surrounding band 4 from above, so that the holder main body 2 can be enclosed or detached from the surrounding. The handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 inserted from above is surrounded by the surrounding band 4 between the end surface 22 of the holder main body 2 around the tip portion 8a to which the blade portion 7 is attached. As a result, the blade portion 7 is prevented from unintentionally moving out of the groove 23. As the encircling band 4, since the handle 8 of the sickle 6 is repeatedly taken in and out and the inserted sickle 6 needs to be supported, a band fabric woven with durable fibers (for example, aramid fiber) is used. It is preferable.

  When the thickness of the handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 is not uniform so that the hand side is thicker than the attachment side (tip side) of the blade 7 (for example, the thick hand end portion 8b of the handle portion 8 in FIG. When it is difficult to insert the handle 8 into the enclosed band 4 fixed at both ends with respect to the holder body 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the holder body 2 can be detached from the holder body 2 at either one of both ends as shown in FIG. Or can be detachably connected to each other at an intermediate portion between the end portions. In the example shown as the encircling band 42 in FIG. 4A, one end portion (not shown) connected to the band main body 40 is made of the holder main body 2 by screws as in the example already shown in FIG. The other end portion 44 is fixedly attached to a plurality of snap buttons 45 (for example, called “hooks” in clothing), which are used by being fitted in irregularities (in the illustrated example, aligned vertically). The holder body 2 is detachably attached to the holder main body 2 by a fixing tool such as three (only a part is given a reference numeral). The snap button 45 in the fitted state has a sufficient fitting force that does not come off under normal conditions. Even if the thickness of the handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 is not uniform, the blade portion 7 is accommodated in the grooves 23 and 33 with the end portion 44 removed, and then the sickle is surrounded by the surrounding band 42 and the end face 22. The handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 can be surrounded and held by surrounding the handle portion 8 of the sickle 6, attaching the end portion 44 to the holder body 2 by the snap button 45 and closing the surrounding band 42. Further, the holding of the handle 8 by the surrounding band 42 can be released by the reverse operation.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4 (b), the surrounding band 46 is fixed to the holder body 2 by screws as in the example already shown in FIG. 1 and the like for both end portions 47 and 47 (one of which is omitted). In the intermediate portions 48 and 48 cut between the both end portions 47 and 47, a plurality of snap buttons 49 (3 arranged vertically in the example shown in the figure) are used. Are attached to each other by a fastener such as a single part. Even if the thickness of the handle portion 8 of the sickle 6 is not uniform and it is difficult to insert the handle portion 8 into the band, the blade portion 7 is inserted into the grooves 23 and 33 with the intermediate portions 48 and 48 disconnected. Then, the handle 8 of the sickle 6 is wrapped around the surrounding band 46 and the end face 22, and the intermediate portions 48, 48 are connected to each other by the snap buttons 49, thereby surrounding and holding the handle 8 of the sickle 6. be able to. Further, the holding of the handle portion 8 by the surrounding band 46 can be released by the reverse operation.

  In the sickle holder 1, when the lid 3 is in a closed state with respect to the holder main body 2, the lid 3 is locked to the holder main body 2 by a lock metal fitting (hereinafter referred to as “lock metal fitting”) 5. The lock fitting 5 can be locked and unlocked by an operator's operation. By locking the lid 3 with respect to the holder body 2, the lid 3 is prevented from unintentionally opening from the holder body 2. When the lid 3 is closed with respect to the holder main body 2 and the blade portion 7 is accommodated in the groove 23 of the holder main body 2 and the groove 33 of the lid 3, the lid 3 is locked and cannot be opened. The blade portion 7 is prevented from coming out of the holder body 2. Therefore, as long as the lid 3 is locked to the holder main body 2 by the lock fitting 5, the blade portion 7 is held in the holder main body 2, and the blade edge 7b is not exposed to the outside, which is safe. .

  The lock fitting 5 shown in the figure is a latch (hereinafter, the latch is described with reference numeral 5). As shown in FIG. 3 in particular, the latch 5 is provided so as to span the holder body 2 and the lid 3 with respect to the long side of the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2 opposite to the side on which the hinges 25, 25 are provided. Yes. That is, the receiving seat 51 of the latch 5 is screwed to the holder body 2 side with a screw, and a round cannula 52 that is rotated is attached to the receiving seat 51 in a rotatable manner. On the main body 50 side of the latch 5, the attachment plate 53 is screwed to the lid 3 with screws, and the latch plate 55 is rotatably connected to the attachment plate 53 via a hinge 54. The latch plate 55 is formed with a hole 56 that can pass when the round cannula 52 takes a predetermined rotational position with respect to the receiving seat 51 but does not allow the round cane 52 to pass at other rotational positions. Yes.

  When the lid 3 is closed with respect to the holder body 2, the round cannula 52 is passed through the hole 56 of the latch plate 55 in the same manner as a normal operation of the latch 5, and the latch plate 55 is placed on the seat 51. Put it on top of each other. This state is shown in FIG. By a simple operation of rotating the rotation position of the round can 52 by 90 degrees, the latch 5 can be easily and quickly locked, and the lid 3 can be prevented from being inadvertently opened from the holder body 2. This state is shown in FIG. The procedure for unlocking is the same, but it is equally easy and quick to operate.

  Although the latch 5 has been described as an example of the lock metal fitting, the latch 5 is used for assisting the opening and closing of the lid and the door, such as a latch, a round drop, a catch, etc., although not specifically shown in the drawings. Thus, a lock fitting having a well-known and simple structure that can hold the closed state of the lid and the door can be used. Locking and unlocking operations of these lock fittings are also simple, and an operator can easily and quickly lock and unlock the lid with respect to the holder main body without making a mistake in the operation.

  In the sickle holder 1, belt holders 60, 60 are attached to the holder body 2 on the back side (the side opposite to the front side where the lock fitting 5 is provided; see FIG. 2). The belt loops 60, 60 having the same structure are arranged side by side in the transverse longitudinal direction of the holder body 2. Further, the belt loops 60, 60 can be made of the same material as that of the surrounding band 4, and are attached to the holder main body 2 with screws on the upper side and the lower side. When attaching the belt loops 60, 60 to the back side of the holder body 2, it is preferable that the waist belt 75 (see FIG. 5) be easily passed by attaching the belt loops 60, 60 in a slightly loosened state. An operator can carry the sickle holder 1 on the waist belt 75 by passing the waist belt 75 through the belt loops 60, 60, and the sickle 6 being accommodated in the sickle holder 1.

  In order to hold the sickle 6 on the sickle holder 1, first, when the lid 3 is in an open state (the state shown in FIG. 3) that does not cover the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2, the semi-cylindrical enclosure band 4 And the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 through the groove opening 24 opened above the holder main body 2 while inserting the handle 8 of the sickle 6 (see FIG. 5) from above into a space surrounded by the end surface 22 of the holder main body 2. Insert into the groove 23. In FIG. 3, the direction in which the blade portion of the sickle is put in and out (the direction along the opening direction of the groove opening 24) is indicated by ZZ. That is, the blade portion 7 of the sickle 6 is inserted into and removed from the groove 23 of the holder body 2 through the groove opening 24 so that the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the blade portion 7 is along the opening direction of the groove opening 24. When the proximal end of the handle 8 is enlarged, a surrounding band as shown in FIG. 4 can be used. A portion on the blade edge 7 b side, which is the majority of the blade portion 7, is accommodated in the groove 23. Thereafter, the lid 3 is rotated around the hinges 25, 25, and the lid 3 is closed so as to cover the upper surface 21 and the groove opening 24 of the holder body 2. The groove 33 formed in the lid 3 accommodates the portion of the blade portion 7 (the portion on the peak 7a side) protruding upward from the groove 23 of the holder body 2, so that the blade portion 7 The groove 23 and the groove 33 of the lid 3 are shared and accommodated (accommodated state shown in FIG. 5).

  When the blade portion 7 is in the accommodated state with the holder main body 2 and the lid 3, the tip of the blade portion 7 does not protrude outward from the end surface 22 of the holder main body 2. Further, since the handle portion 8 is held in a space surrounded by the surrounding band 4 and the end face 22 at the tip end portion 8a which is the upper end to which the blade portion 7 is attached, the blade portion 7 is held in the holder main body 2 and the lid body 3. Never get out of it. Further, when the groove 33 of the lid 3 is formed in an arc shape, the arc-shaped groove 33 restricts the movement of the blade portion 7 in the longitudinal direction, so that the blade portion 7 is not only pulled out from the sickle holder 1, Backlash within the sickle holder 1 is also prevented. The closed lid 3 operates the lock fitting 5 (in the example shown in the figure, the circular plate 52 passed through the hole 56 of the latch plate 55 is rotated to prevent the latch plate 55 from opening). The main body 2 is locked in a closed state.

  In order to take out the sickle 6 held by the sickle holder 1, the above operation is reversed. That is, the lock fitting 5 is released, the lid 3 is opened with respect to the holder main body 2, and the blade portion is passed through the space surrounded by the band 4 and the end face 22 surrounding the handle portion 8 of the sickle 6. By extracting 7 from the groove 23 upward, the sickle 6 can be pulled out from the sickle holder 1.

  FIG. 5 shows a locked state holder 70 that holds the locked state of the latch 5 and allows the operator to release the lock when the operator intends to release the locked state of the latch 5. In FIG. 5, the sickle holder 1 is attached to the operator's waist by passing the waist belt 75 for the operator's trousers through the belt loops 60, 60. The locked state holding tool 70 includes engaging tools 72 and 73 such as hooks connected to each other by a string 71. The engaging tools 72 and 73 are provided with a ring biased in the closing direction by a spring force. The string 71 may be formed of a high-strength fiber material, or may be a metal part such as a chain or a wire. One engaging tool 72 can be hooked and engaged with the round can 52 of the latch 5. About the other engaging tool 73, it is hooked on the belt loop 74 sewn on the trousers, for example for the operator's waist belt 75. FIG. In a state where the engagement tool 72 of the locked state holding tool 70 is engaged with the round cannula 52, the engagement tool 72 obstructs the passage of the round cane 52 through the hole 56 of the latch plate 55. Is not opened unintentionally, and the latch 5 can be maintained in a locked state.

  With respect to one engaging tool 72 of the lock state holding tool 70, when an operation of releasing the engaging tool 72 from the engagement with the round cannula 52 by opening the ring of the hook and passing the round cane 52 from the opened position, The round can 52 can pass through the hole 56 of the latch plate 55. Therefore, the latch 5 is allowed to be unlocked. By making the other engagement tool 73 hooked on the belt loop 74, the locked state holding tool 70 is always attached to the operator while the engagement tools 72 and 73 are connected by the string 71, Never lose. By using the lock state holding tool 70, it is possible to reliably prevent the latch 5 from unintentionally coming off, the lid 3 of the sickle holder 1 from the holder body, and the sickle 6 from coming out of the sickle holder 1. it can.

  Although the sickle holder according to the present invention has been described above, the sickle holder 1 according to the present invention can be variously modified with respect to the above-described embodiments. For example, although one end of the groove 23 of the holder main body 2 (the edge side end of the blade portion 7 of the sickle to be accommodated) has been described as being open, it can be closed. In this case, in the unlikely event that the long sickle of the blade portion 7 is to be mistakenly accommodated, it is possible to prevent the cutting edge from protruding from the groove 23 and becoming a dangerous state. Further, the lid 3 has been described as having the groove 33 formed, but the groove 33 is not necessarily required in the lid 3, so the groove 33 may not be formed, and only the groove 23 of the blade portion 7 may be formed. The whole can be accommodated. The material for the holder body 2 and the lid 3 may be wood or synthetic resin. The surrounding band 4 has been described as a woven fabric of reinforcing fibers, but may be a material such as synthetic leather or canvas.
