Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an empty can crusher.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of empty can crusher has press members rotatably mounted on both sides of the board. A new version has been proposed. This conventional empty can crusher crushes empty cans in the center of the board. Place the empty can, rotate the press members on both sides to crush the center of the empty can by about half, and then Then, rotate the crushed empty can by 90 degrees and open the closed end of the empty can. The press members on both sides were rotated to crush it.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, with the empty can crusher mentioned above, when trying to crush the center of the empty can, the empty can In some cases, the can may shift relative to the board. So, I fixed the empty can with one hand. Even if I tried, I couldn't fix it because I was holding the two press members with both hands. I couldn't come. In other words, if this operation is not done properly, the end closure of the empty can may be crushed. There was a problem that it became .

0004 Also, after crushing an empty can, the four corners may be damaged, especially soft metal like aluminum cans. This poses a high risk for workers and may result in injury. Ta. The purpose of this invention is to easily crush empty cans with a single press member without shifting. To provide an empty can crusher which is capable of crushing empty cans and whose four corners are not easily torn.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

In this invention, a support plate is provided protruding from the upper surface of one side of the board, and a press member is inserted into the support plate. A rotatable press member is supported in the long hole, and a rotatable press member is supported in the long hole. A plurality of bearing parts spaced apart from each other are provided, and the press member is provided with a plurality of bearing parts spaced apart from each other, and when the press member rotates toward the substrate The main feature is that a press unit is provided to crush the can in cooperation with the substrate.

[0006]

[Effect]

The present invention configured in this way places an empty can on a substrate and presses a single press member. Place it on the bearing and crush about half of the center of the empty can while rotating the arm. Next, slide the tip of the press member and lock it to the other bearing part to press one side of the empty can. Crush the end closure part of the can, and then turn the empty can 180° to remove the end closure part. Squash the opposite end closure.

[0007]

【Example】

Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described according to FIGS. 1 to 6. A pair of support plates 2 protruding from the upper surface of one side of the board 1 are equipped with a press member as a press member. A letter-shaped arm 3 is rotatably supported on a long axis 9 so as to be able to lie down toward the substrate 1. It is. As shown in FIG. It is formed into a letter shape. A fitting groove 4 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed at the tip of the recess 1a. A pair of locking recesses 4a are formed at equal intervals on both sides thereof. Fitting groove 4 A stopper 5 having an L-shaped cross section is fitted into the locking recess 4a, and a stopper 5 is fitted into the locking recess 4a. A pair of locking protrusions 5a protruding from the bottom plate of the upper 5 on both sides are removably locked. There is.

[0008] Each of the pair of support plates 2 has an upper end extending diagonally as shown in Figures 3 to 6. A long hole 6 is provided through the hole 6, and an arm 3 is rotatable at both upper and lower ends and at a position below the upper end. Bearing portions 7a, 7b, and 7c are cut out. There is a press plate near the center of arm 3. 8 is attached to the bottom surface of the press plate 8, as shown in FIG. is provided in a protruding manner so that it overlaps with the recess 1a when the arm 3 rotates. Ru. As shown in FIG. Furthermore, a shaft stopper pin 12 is provided inside to prevent the long shaft 9 from coming off from the long hole 6. There is.

[0009] Next, to explain the operation of the empty can crusher constructed in this way, as shown in Fig. 3. Place an empty can in the recess 1a and push the stopper 5 up to the closed end 13a of the empty can 13. Fix it so that it does not move or shift. Slide the arm 3 through the elongated hole 6 and press the press plate 8. It is locked to the bearing part 7a so that it is located near the center of the empty can 13 on which it is placed. So Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the arm 3 is rotated and the center of the empty can 13 is The vicinity is crushed to such an extent that both end closed portions 13a form a V-shape. Next, from the bearing part 7a The long shaft 9 is detached against the biasing force of the compression spring, and then the long shaft 9 is slid to open the lower part. It is locked to the bearing part 7c. Then, rotate the arm 3 as shown in Figures 5 and 6 to After crushing one end closing part 13a with the counter plate 8, turn the empty can 180 degrees. Similarly, crush the other end closing portion 13a. This allows the empty can to fit into the recess 1a and the fitting plate. 8a, both sides thereof are curved into a U-shape.

0010 In this way, in the empty can crusher of this embodiment, the empty can 13 is fixed in the recess 1a. Moreover, it can be easily crushed with one hand without using both hands. And crushed Since both sides of the empty can 13 are curved, the four corners of the empty can are less likely to tear. Even if it tears, it will be bent inward to prevent injury. Also, empty cans If the length is short, the long shaft 9 is locked to the bearing part 7b and the press plate 8 is moved. This makes it possible to crush the center of the empty can.

[0011] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and there may be no deviation from the spirit of the invention. It is also possible to change part of the configuration as appropriate to the extent that it is not possible to implement it as follows. It is. (1) In the above embodiment, the long shaft 9 is locked only by the bearing part 7. However, the long shaft 9 is prevented from detaching from the bearing parts 7a, 7b, 7c when the arm 3 rotates. In order to Even if the other end of the compression spring 10 is hooked to a hook 2a protruding from the inner surface of the support plate 2, good. From this, the long shaft 9 is constantly urged in the locking direction of the bearings 7a, 7b, 7c, By moving the long shaft 9 against the biasing force of the compression spring 10, the long shaft 9 It may be made detachable from the portion 7.

0012 (2) In the above embodiment, the elongated hole 6 is provided with three bearing portions 7a, 7b, and 7c. However, in order to accommodate various sizes of empty cans 13, more bearing parts 7 may be provided. You can leave it. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, an arc-shaped long hole 16 or a U-shaped hole 16 may be formed. The elongated hole 17 may be formed transparently in the support plate 2. By doing this, the long axis 9 can be aligned with the same elongated hole 16, Empty can 13 can be crushed while sliding against 17, so any empty can 1 can be crushed. It is possible to crush the size of 3.

[0013] (3) In the above embodiment, in order to prevent the empty can 13 from shifting, the cross section is L-shaped. Although the topper 5 is shown as an example, as shown in FIGS. A movement prevention member 14 having a rectangular cross section is provided to protrude from the side to prevent the empty can 13 from shifting toward the proximal end. You may do so. In addition, a rubber material with high frictional force is applied to a part or the entire surface of the recess 1a. It may also be attached to make the empty can 13 less slippery.

[0014] (4) In the above embodiment, the stopper had an L-shaped cross section, but as shown in FIGS. A stopper 18 having a U-shaped cross section or a stopper 1 having a substantially U-shaped cross section You can set it to 9. By doing this, when crushing both end closed portions 13a, the both end closed portions of the other end The edge 13b of the can 13a is locked to the tips of the stoppers 18 and 19, and the empty can 13 is suspended. It is possible to prevent it from rising.

[0015]

[Effect of the idea]

As detailed above, according to the empty can crusher of the present invention, it is possible to easily crush empty cans with one hand. The crushed empty cans have a structure that makes them difficult to tear, so the work can be done safely. It has excellent effects.
