Description

本発明は、小さい力で持って空き缶を押し潰すことができる空き缶プレスに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an empty can press that can crush an empty can with a small force.

空き缶は軽量であるが嵩張るので、リサイクルなどで回収する際に運搬、保管の効率が悪い。そこで、空き缶を小さく押し潰すことが必要となるが、このための空き缶押し潰し用機器として、例えば特許文献１、２に開示されたものが知られている。しかし、特許文献１に記載された空き缶押し潰し器は、アルミ缶専用の小型のものであって、スチール缶などの強度の高い缶を十分押し潰すことができない。また、特許文献２に記載された手動式小型プレスは、ラック・ピニオン機構、クラッチ手段などを備えているために構造が複雑になって、製造コストが高くなるという問題があった。
特開２００１−１９８６９９号公報 (図１) 特開平７−９６３９９号公報 (図１) Empty cans are lightweight but bulky, so they are inefficient in transportation and storage when collected by recycling. Then, although it is necessary to crush an empty can small, what was disclosed by patent document 1, 2, for example as an apparatus for empty can crushing for this is known. However, the empty can crusher described in Patent Document 1 is a small-sized one dedicated to aluminum cans, and cannot sufficiently crush high strength cans such as steel cans. In addition, the manual small press described in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that the structure is complicated because the rack and pinion mechanism, the clutch means, and the like are included, and the manufacturing cost increases.
JP 2001-198699 A (FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-96399 (FIG. 1)

本発明は上記した従来の問題点を解決して、簡単な構造にして、かつ強度の高い空き缶をも小さい力で持って押し潰すことができる空き缶プレスを提供するためになされたものである。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and to provide an empty can press that has a simple structure and can crush a high-strength empty can with a small force.

上記の課題を解決するためになされた本発明の空き缶プレスは、台板に立設された支柱に上下スライド可能に挿通された摺動部材と、この摺動部材に基端が枢着されて上下回動自在な操作レバーと、該操作レバーの枢着位置から離間して操作レバーの途中に締結具により枢着されて垂下された押圧棒とからなり、該押圧棒は前記操作レバ−の下方への回動により台板上の空き缶を押し潰すものであって、
押圧棒下方の台板には、押し潰し時の空き缶の転倒を防止するための缶収納容器を載置したうえに、
缶収納容器が載置される台板面に孔部を設けるとともに、缶収納容器の底の裏面には、前記孔部に遊嵌される位置決め用突起を下向きに設けたことを特徴とするものである。
なお、缶収納容器の内部の底面に、押圧力を局部的に集中させるための隆起を設けることができる。 An empty can press of the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problem is a sliding member inserted in a vertically slidable manner on a column erected on a base plate, and a base end is pivotally attached to the sliding member. An operation lever that can be pivoted up and down, and a pressing bar that is spaced from the pivoting position of the operating lever and pivoted by a fastener in the middle of the operating lever, the pressing bar of the operating lever It crushes the empty can on the base plate by turning downward ,
On the base plate below the pressing bar, after placing a can storage container to prevent the empty can from falling over when crushing,
A hole is provided in the base plate surface on which the can storage container is placed, and a positioning projection that is loosely fitted in the hole is provided downward on the back surface of the bottom of the can storage container. It is.
In addition, a bulge for locally concentrating the pressing force can be provided on the bottom surface inside the can storage container .

本発明の空き缶プレスは、支柱に摺動部材を上下スライド可能に挿通し、この摺動部材に操作レバーの基端を枢着して操作レバーを上下回動自在としたうえに、該操作レバーの途中に押圧棒を垂下したので、操作レバーを下方に回動することによって押圧棒により台板上の空き缶を押し潰すことができる。また、押圧棒下方の台板に缶収納容器を載置することにより、空き缶の転倒を防止して空き缶を押し潰すことができる。また、缶収納容器の底の裏面に設けた突起を、台板面に設けた孔部に遊嵌して、空き缶の位置決めを行うことができるし、押圧棒の揺動に対応して缶収納容器の位置を微調整することができる。さらに、缶収納容器の内部の底面に隆起を設けたので、押圧力を局部的に集中させて小さい力で空き缶を押し潰すことができる。   In the empty can press of the present invention, a sliding member is inserted into a column so as to be slidable up and down, and a base end of an operating lever is pivotally attached to the sliding member so that the operating lever can be turned up and down Since the pressing rod is suspended in the middle of this, the empty can on the base plate can be crushed by the pressing rod by rotating the operation lever downward. Moreover, by placing the can storage container on the base plate below the pressing rod, the empty can can be prevented from falling and the empty can can be crushed. In addition, a protrusion provided on the back surface of the bottom of the can storage container can be loosely fitted into a hole provided in the base plate surface to position the empty can, and the can can be stored in response to the swing of the pressing rod. The position of the container can be finely adjusted. Further, since the bulge is provided on the bottom surface inside the can container, the empty can can be crushed with a small force by concentrating the pressing force locally.

以下に図面を参照しつつ本発明の好ましい実施形態を説明する。図１は本発明の空き缶プレスを示す図であって、１は台板、２は台板１に立設された支柱である。また、１０は押圧機構部であって、この押圧機構部１０は、摺動部材３と操作レバー４と押圧棒５とからなる。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing an empty can press according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a base plate, and 2 is a support column erected on the base plate 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pressing mechanism, and the pressing mechanism 10 includes a sliding member 3, an operation lever 4, and a pressing rod 5.

前記摺動部材３は水平棒状であって、一端に挿通孔３１を有し、この挿通孔３１に支柱２が挿し込まれているが、挿通孔３１は支柱２を丁度挿し込める程度の寸法としてあるので摺動部材３が自重で下方にずれ落ちることはない。摺動部材３の一端には棒状の操作レバー４の基端が締結具３２により上下回動自在に枢着されており、他端には操作用の把持部４１が設けられている。そして、操作レバー４の基端の締結具３２から若干離間して、操作レバー４の途中に押圧棒５が締結具４２により枢着されており、この押圧棒５は操作レバー４に揺動自在に垂下されている。押圧棒５の下端には空き缶の直径程度の円板６が固定されており、この円板６は空き缶の上部に当接される。押圧棒５は、操作レバー４の回動により締結具４２が円弧運動するので、これに追随して左右に揺動する。   The sliding member 3 has a horizontal bar shape, and has an insertion hole 31 at one end, and the column 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 31. The insertion hole 31 has a size that allows the column 2 to be inserted exactly. Therefore, the sliding member 3 does not slip downward due to its own weight. A base end of a rod-shaped operation lever 4 is pivotally attached to one end of the sliding member 3 by a fastener 32 so as to be rotatable up and down, and an operation gripping portion 41 is provided at the other end. The push bar 5 is pivotally attached to the operation lever 4 by a fastener 42 in the middle of the operation lever 4 at a distance from the fastener 32 at the base end of the operation lever 4. Has drooped. A disk 6 having a diameter of an empty can is fixed to the lower end of the pressing bar 5, and this disk 6 is brought into contact with the upper part of the empty can. The pressing bar 5 swings left and right following this because the fastener 42 moves in a circular arc by the rotation of the operation lever 4.

押圧棒６真下の台板１には、押し潰し時に缶の転倒を防止するための缶収納容器７が載置されている。缶収納容器７は上部が開口された円筒形のものであって、押し潰しにより拡径された空き缶が収容できる程度の内径である。この缶収納容器７は底部裏面に下向きの突起８が設けられており、一方、台板１の上面には突起８が遊びを持って嵌め込まれる孔部９が設けられている。したがって、缶収納容器７の突起８を台板１の孔部９に挿し込めば、缶収納容器７の位置を決めることができる。また、突起８は孔部９に遊嵌されているので、操作レバー４の回動により揺動する押圧棒５に対応して、空き缶収納容器７を横方向に微小移動させて位置合わせを行うことができる。   A can storage container 7 is placed on the base plate 1 just below the pressing rod 6 to prevent the can from falling over when being crushed. The can storage container 7 has a cylindrical shape with an open top, and has an inner diameter that can accommodate an empty can expanded by crushing. The can storage container 7 is provided with a downward projection 8 on the bottom rear surface, and on the top surface of the base plate 1 is provided a hole 9 into which the projection 8 is fitted with play. Therefore, if the protrusion 8 of the can storage container 7 is inserted into the hole 9 of the base plate 1, the position of the can storage container 7 can be determined. Further, since the protrusion 8 is loosely fitted in the hole portion 9, the empty can storage container 7 is moved slightly in the lateral direction in accordance with the pressing bar 5 that is swung by the rotation of the operation lever 4. be able to.

空き缶を押し潰すに際して、先ず図１に示すように、押圧機構部１０を支柱２の上部にまでスライドさせたのち、缶収納容器７を台板１の所定の位置に載置する。次いで、缶収納容器７内に空き缶を投入する。缶投入後は、図２に示すように押圧機構部１０を下方にスライドさせて空き缶の上端に円板６を当接する。そして、操作レバー４を下方に回動させれば摺動部材３が横に押されて支柱２を押圧する。したがって、締結具３２を支点として押圧棒５を下方に押し下げることができるので、空き缶を若干押し潰すことができる（図３）。   When crushing an empty can, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the pressing mechanism portion 10 is slid to the upper part of the column 2, and then the can storage container 7 is placed at a predetermined position on the base plate 1. Next, an empty can is put into the can storage container 7. After loading the can, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing mechanism 10 is slid downward to bring the disk 6 into contact with the upper end of the empty can. And if the operation lever 4 is rotated downward, the sliding member 3 will be pushed sideways and the support | pillar 2 will be pressed. Therefore, since the pressing bar 5 can be pushed downward with the fastener 32 as a fulcrum, the empty can can be slightly crushed (FIG. 3).

次いで、操作レバー４を上方に回動することによって、操作レバー４による摺動部材３の横方向への押圧が一旦解除されるので、押圧機構部１０を手動で下方に移動させることができる（図４）。したがって、再び空き缶を押し潰すことが可能となる。このような操作レバー４の回動を数回繰り返すことによって、図５に示すように空き缶を小さく押し潰すことができる。なお、缶収納容器７の内部の底面に円錐状、半紡錘体状などの隆起を設けることによって押圧力を局部的に集中させて空き缶を容易に押し潰すことができる。   Next, by rotating the operating lever 4 upward, the pressing of the sliding member 3 in the lateral direction by the operating lever 4 is once released, so that the pressing mechanism portion 10 can be manually moved downward ( FIG. 4). Therefore, it becomes possible to crush the empty can again. By repeating the rotation of the operation lever 4 several times, the empty can can be crushed small as shown in FIG. In addition, by providing a conical or semi-spindle-shaped protuberance on the bottom surface inside the can container 7, the pressing force can be concentrated locally and the empty can can be easily crushed.

押圧棒５の上下方向の移動ストロークを空き缶の高さ程度にとっておけば、一回の操作レバー４の回動により空き缶を小さく押し潰すことも可能である。
空き缶押し潰し後は、図６に示すように、押圧機構部１０を上昇させて、缶収納容器７を台板１から取り外せば、缶収納容器７の中の空き缶を取出すことができる。 If the movement stroke of the pressing bar 5 in the vertical direction is set to the height of the empty can, the empty can can be crushed by turning the operation lever 4 once.
After crushing the empty can, as shown in FIG. 6, the empty can in the can storage container 7 can be taken out by raising the pressing mechanism 10 and removing the can storage container 7 from the base plate 1.
