Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a cutter having a disinfectant supply means of the type that appropriately supplies a plant disinfectant to the cut end of the plant from a supply tank via a flexible tube. It is.

(Prior art) In general, when cultivating plants such as apples and grapes, when cutting other plants with a knife that was used to cut a plant that has been infected with a disease such as flan, pathogenic bacteria may be attached to the cutting edge. Pathogens can enter through the cut end through the knife, transmitting the disease to other plants that are not infected, and in some cases may even cause them to die.

For this reason, conventionally, as one of the methods for preventing and treating diseases such as flannel disease, as soon as a plant such as an apple or grape is cut with a knife, a disinfectant for plants such as a bactericidal liniment is applied to the cut end. The disinfectant is supplied and applied by a disinfectant supply means.

By the way, in the conventional disinfectant supply means,
In each of these, a disinfectant outlet member having an applicator at the tip for applying a plant disinfectant to the cut end of the plant was integrally fixed to the main body of the disinfectant supply means.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) For this reason, for example, in the case of a cut located close to the base of a branch that has branched into three or more branches, the disinfectant outlet member may be stuck to those branches due to space constraints. Needless to say, it is difficult to even aim the disinfectant at the cut end of the plant and apply it with the tip of the applicator, resulting in problems such as insufficient disinfection effect and reduced work efficiency.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cutter having a disinfectant supply means that solves this problem.

(Means for solving the problem) A cutlery having a disinfectant supply means according to the present invention,
In a cutlery having a disinfectant supply means for appropriately supplying a plant disinfectant from a supply tank through a flexible tube, the disinfectant supply means includes a holding member integrally fixed to a grip part of the cutter, and a disinfectant supply means having a holding member integrally fixed to a grip part of the cutter, The present invention is characterized in that it has a disinfectant outlet member that has an applicator, is rotatably supported with respect to the holding member, and communicates with the flexible tube.

Note that the term cutlery here refers to a broad concept that includes various types of scissors such as pruning shears, pruning shears, and saws, as well as knives and saws.

(Function) According to the present invention, since the disinfectant solution outlet member 20 is rotatably supported on the holding member 8, the disinfectant solution outlet member 20, that is, the application body 2 at the tip thereof
3 can be easily applied to the cut end of the desired plant.

Further, according to the present invention, since the disinfectant supply means is attached to the cutter itself, it is possible to hold the cutter with one hand and apply the disinfectant directly to the cut end of the plant while cutting off the plant.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the cutter having the disinfectant supply means according to the present invention has a cut end of the plant located near the root of the tree, etc. Even in cases where it is not possible to change the disinfectant solution outlet member, only the disinfectant solution outlet member can be directed toward the cut end of the plant. It can be supplied to the cut section. Therefore, pathogenic bacteria such as plant blight can be disinfected and sterilized without invading the branches through the cut ends.

In addition, the knife according to the present invention allows cutting off plants and supplying disinfectant with one hand.
There is no need to change hands each time you perform both tasks. This is therefore advantageous, especially when one hand is needed for personal safety, such as when climbing and pruning a tree. Moreover, since the disinfectant supply means is at hand, there is an advantage that there is no need to be nervous about checking it.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be specifically described based on the drawings. 1 and 2 are handles or gripping parts 1, respectively.
A pair of scissor constituent members (pruning shears) having blade bodies 1b, 2b at the tips of a, 2a, and both members 1, 2 are pivotally connected by a support shaft 3 so that they can be opened and closed in an intersecting shape. There is. Further, 4 is a spring interposed between the gripping parts 1a and 2a so as to open both the members 1 and 2, and 5 is a stopper pivotally attached to one of the gripping parts 2a. , 2 when closed, they can engage with a step 6 formed on the back edge of the other blade body 1b, and all of the above are known in the art for pruning shears.

The pruning shears are equipped with disinfectant supply means 7 having a holding member 8 . The holding member 8 includes the main body 8a and the cover plate 2.
The upper half of this holding member 8 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the front side is hollowed out leaving a peripheral edge 9. This hollowed out part further has a protrusion 11 on one side. The other side becomes the notch 10.

In addition, the lower half of the holding member 8 has a bifurcated mounting portion 1.
2, and this mounting portion 12 has a through hole 13 bored approximately in its center. On the other hand, a screw hole 14 is screwed into one grip portion 1a of the pruning shears, and a bolt 15 is inserted through the through hole 13 and screwed into the screw hole 14.

As shown in FIG. 4, the protruding portion 11 is provided with an L-shaped channel 16, and a cylindrical insertion portion 17 is protruded from the inlet side of the channel 16. Also, a through hole 18 is bored in one peripheral edge 9, and a flexible tube 19 connected from a supply tank (not shown) through this through hole 18 is inserted into the notch 10 of the holding member 8. It is introduced and fitted into the insertion part 17.

Further, on the outlet side of the flow path 16, a mounting bracket 21 having a flow path 36 therein is fitted so that a male screw portion 33 screwed on one end thereof is screwed into a female screw portion 38 of the holding member 8. A cylindrical disinfectant outlet member 20, which communicates with the flexible tube 19 via the mounting fitting 21, is rotatably supported with respect to the holding member 8. That is, the disinfectant solution outlet member 20 is curved into a substantially elbow shape, having a vertical portion 20a and a horizontal portion 20b.
