Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a crushing device that crushes a large square can and a small square can with a hand or a foot.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a utility model registration No. 3032478 is known as a device that crushes a large square can such as an 18 liter square can without using power.
This device places an empty can in the base upper and lower receiving plates, presses down the foot pedal several times, presses the upper center of the empty can with a ratchet mechanism and dents it, and moves this empty can onto the upper receiving plate to change the handle lever Then, one side was pressed and crushed, and the other side was crushed by reversing.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above prior art, the empty can was transferred to the upper and lower chambers, and further inverted and crushed, so the mechanism was complicated and expensive, the work efficiency was poor, and it was a dedicated machine only for large square cans. Since crushing is not possible, there is a problem that the application is limited and the range of use is narrow.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a crusher in which a base of a pressing lever that is movable up and down is pivotally attached to a support column at one end of a base. A parallel stopper member is provided, and a bottom pressing member having a triangular top in parallel with the stopper member is disposed in the central portion between the stopper members. A triangular upper pressing member is disposed, and the bottom pressing member and the upper pressing member are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pressing lever, and the tops of the pressing members are substantially matched. It is arranged at a position, and one end is supported on the top of the column by a spring and the other end is held in the middle part of the pressing lever, and between the stopper member and the base, and on the upper surface of the base Detachable spacer Rutotomoni, a part of the width direction of the spacer to the stopper member is disposed also, further characterized in that arranged the pressing portion to the base portion side of the pressing lever.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated examples.
1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a base, and a base portion of a pressing lever 3 is pivotally attached to a support column 2 projecting at one end by a pin 4 so as to be pivotable up and down, and is always held at a non-operating position by a spring 5. Stopper members 7 and 7 are provided at substantially the center of the base 1 so as to prevent the large square empty can 6 such as an 18 liter can from moving forward and backward. The stopper members 7 are formed to extend in the width direction. A bottom pressing member 8 that presses the width direction of the large square empty can bottom having a triangular top 8a is fixed to the center between the stopper members 7 and 7. An upper pressing member 9 having a triangular section is fixed to the lower surface of the pressing lever 3 so as to face the bottom pressing member 8 and press the upper surface 6a of the large square empty can 6 in the width direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes a spacer which is detachably disposed on the mounting portion of the large square empty can 6, that is, behind the stopper members 7 and 7, and is used when a small square empty can 11 such as a 4 liter can is crushed. The spacer 10 is provided with a stopper 12 that prevents the small square can from moving back and forth. The stopper 12 is disposed in a part in the width direction. The spacer 10 is formed with a positioning recess 14 for positioning the round can 13 so that the round can 13 can be crushed. Reference numeral 15 denotes a pressing member that presses the upper surface near the rear portion of the positioned small square empty can 11 in the width direction or presses the upper surface of the round can 13 such as a positioned spray can in the width direction.
[0006]
Next, the operation will be described. Remove the spacer 10 when crushing 18 liter cans. Next, the 18-liter large square empty can 6 is inserted between the stopper members 7 and 7 and placed on the bottom pressing member 8. Next, the pressing lever 3 is pressed downward with a hand or a foot. The upper surface 6 a and the lower surface 6 b of the large square empty can 6 are formed with triangular recesses 6 a ′ and 6 b ′ in the width direction by the upper pressing member 9 and the bottom pressing member 8. Next, when the foot is removed from the pressing lever 3 and the semi-collapsed large empty can 6 'is taken out from the stopper members 7 and 7 and rotated 90 degrees backward, then the pressing lever 3 is again rotated downward and pressed. It is crushed flat like this.
[0007]
In the case of the small square empty can 11, the spacer 10 is placed on the rear part of the base 1, contacts the stopper member 7 on the base, the small square empty can 11 contacts the stopper 12 on the spacer 10, and the pressing lever When 3 is pushed downward, the pressing member 15 in the width direction crushes the upper surface in the vicinity of the rear portion of the small square empty can 11 and is flattened as shown in FIG.
In the case of the round can 13, when it is placed and positioned in the concave portion 14 of the spacer 10 and the pressing lever 3 is rotated downward, the round can 13 is pressed in the axial direction by the pressing member and is crushed as shown in FIG. The

【The invention's effect】
The present invention relates to a crusher in which a base of a pressing lever that is movable up and down is pivotally attached to a support column at one end of a base, and two parallel stopper members are provided at a substantially central portion of the base, and the stopper A bottom pressing member having a triangular top in parallel with the stopper member is disposed in the central portion between the members, and an upper pressing member having a triangular cross section is also disposed in a substantially central portion of the pressing lever. The bottom pressing member and the upper pressing member are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pressing lever, and the tops of the pressing members are arranged so as to substantially coincide with each other, and a spring At the top, one end is supported and the other end is held in the middle of the pressing lever. Between the stopper member and the base, a spacer is provided on the upper surface of the base so as to be detachable. width direction of the spacer Part of the stopper member is disposed also, further, the so proximally of the pressing levers are disposed a pressing portion of large square cans and four liters cans, such as 18 liters cans a single apparatus It is convenient to crush such a small square empty can.
