JPH0247355A - Edge for pill-remover - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prolong the life of the subject edge by providing an inner edge rotating by the action of a driving part and extending parallel to a rotary shaft, placing an outer edge having a pill-introducing part to the outside of the inner edge and moving the outer edge in a state pressed against the surface of a cloth having pills to be removed. CONSTITUTION:An edge part is composed of a long inner edge 4 extending along the direction of the rotary shaft 3 and an outer edge 5 having a pill- introducing hole 5a and covering less than half of outer circumference of the rotary part of said inner edge 4. A gap is held between the inner edge and the outer edge. The inner edge 4 is rotated by the rotation of the driving part 2. The outer edge 5 exposed from the main body is pressed against the surface of a cloth 7 to slidably contact the inner edge 4 with the outer edge 5 taking advantage of the springiness of the outer edge 5 or by the aid of other resilient member. The pill 7a introduced through the pill-introducing hole 5a to the inside of the outer edge 5 is cut with the inner edge.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a pill remover blade for removing pilling from sweaters, socks, blankets, etc.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the blades of this type of pill remover have an inner blade whose rotational axis direction is almost perpendicular to the surface of the fabric where pilling increases, and an outer blade whose shape forms part of a ball. It was something.

Also, the inner cutter was always in contact with the outer cutter and rotated.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when the pill remover is moved over the fabric to remove pilling, the width from which the pill is removed is determined by the diameter of the outer blade around the rotation axis. If you want to increase the width of the hairball, you will need to increase the diameter of the outer blade, which will make the entire main body larger. Another drawback is that the inner cutter always rotates in contact with the outer cutter, resulting in a short blade life.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention rotates by a drive unit and is arranged so that its axis of rotation is approximately parallel to the surface of the fabric from which pilling is taken, and furthermore, the direction of the axis of rotation is an inner cutter that is longer than the inner cutter; an outer cutter that is located outside the inner cutter and has a hair introduction part;
It is composed of a main body that houses the driving part and the inner cutter and holds a part of the outer cutter in an exposed form outside the main body, and the outer cutter is provided under the μ peripheral plate of the rotating part of the inner cutter. It is something that

More preferably, the outer cutter is held on the main body through the elasticity of the outer cutter itself or the elastic member of the pond, with a gap between the outer cutter and the inner cutter under normal conditions.

Effect: With this configuration, the width from which pill can be removed can be increased without increasing the size of the pill increaser, and the life of the blade can be extended.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the figure, 1 is a main body, 2 is a drive section disposed inside the main body 1, 3 is a rotating shaft that rotates with the rotation of the drive section 2, and an inner cutter 4 extending long in the direction of this rotating shaft is fixed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an outer cutter located on the outside of the inner cutter 4, which has a pill introduction hole 5a, and is held in a form partially exposed to the outside of the main body 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a gap 6 is normally maintained between the outer cutter 6 and the inner cutter 4. FIG. 3 shows the condition when pilling is removed, where 7 is the fabric and 7 & is the pill. FIG. 4 shows a spring 8 disposed at the end of the outer cutter 5, and a convex portion 11L provided inside the main body 1.
This is an example in which the gap 6 is maintained by combining the hole 5b provided in the outer cutter 5.

Next, the operation will be explained. The rotation of the drive unit 2 is the rotation axis 3
is transmitted, and the rotating shaft 3 rotates together with the inner cutter 4. At that time, there is a gap 6 between the inner cutter 4 and the outer cutter 6, and the outer cutter and the inner cutter are not in contact with each other. When performing the pilling operation, the outer blade 6 exposed from the main body 1 is brought close to the fabric 7, and as the outer blade 6 is pressed against the fabric 7, the inner blade 4 comes into contact with the outer blade 6, and at that time, the pill introduction hole 5& The pill 71L that has entered the inside of the outer blade 5 is cut off. In this state, the main body 1 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis. The cut fluff is collected in a predetermined storage section (not shown). When the outer blade 5 and the cloth 7 are separated, the outer blade 6
A gap 6 is created by its own elasticity or by the spring 8.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the size of the main body can be increased by lengthening the cutting blade portion in the direction of the rotation axis within a structurally and functionally permissible range, and by moving the main body in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis. The pill removal width can be widened without making the size larger than necessary.

In addition, by placing the outer cutter on the main body via its own elasticity or other elastic member, it is possible to reliably maintain a gap between the inner cutter and the outer cutter except during pill removal operations. ．． This is to improve the lifespan of the blade.
