Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a foot-type empty can crusher.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, various empty can crushers have been developed, and there are various types from large-scale mechanical power type to simple household type.

On the other hand, although aluminum cans and iron cans have been used together in recent years, it is extremely effective to reuse aluminum cans, so aluminum cans are distinguished from iron cans. There is a strong desire to throw it away.

However, since the iron can has the same size as the aluminum can and has the same thickness as that of the aluminum can, it is not possible to make a distinction merely by looking at the appearance and the degree of depression. Not stick.

Therefore, conventionally, aluminum cans are not attracted to the magnets, and iron cans are attracted to the magnets, so that the magnets are brought into contact with each other to be distinguished from each other.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention is a simple stepping type empty can crusher that can be easily handled at home to provide an inexpensive empty can crusher with excellent mass productivity and to crush empty cans. It is a technical issue to provide an empty can crusher capable of distinguishing between an empty can made of aluminum and an empty can made of iron at the same time as flattening.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A front edge of a tread plate 2 that undulates on the empty can support plate 1 is pivotally attached to the front edge of the empty can support plate 1 so that the tread plate 2 can be undulated and opened and closed with respect to the empty can support plate 1. A foot-type empty can crusher in which the lifting edge side is formed to have a size capable of mounting a foot, a foot portion 3 is provided, and a lifting grip 4 for lifting the tread plate 2 upward is attached to the lifting edge side of the footboard 2. When the empty can 5 is inserted between the tread plate 2 and the empty can receiving plate 1 and the tread plate 2 is stepped down and the empty can 5 is crushed, the magnet body 6 that attracts the flattened empty can that is crushed is attached to the tread plate 2. The present invention relates to an empty can crusher, which is provided at a position where a flat empty can that has been trampled can be adsorbed.

[0009]

[Action]

 The lifting grip body 4 is lifted to lift the tread plate 2 to the empty can support plate 1 in a> shape and open.

The empty can 5 is inserted between the tread plate 2 and the empty can receiving plate 1, and the foot part 3 of the tread plate 2 is stepped on to step down the tread plate 2 to crush the empty can 5 into a flat state.

At this time, when the empty can 5 is an iron empty can 5, when the tread 2 is lifted and opened again, it is adsorbed by the magnet body 6 attached to the tread 2 and it can be determined that it is an iron empty can 5.

On the contrary, if it is not attracted to the magnet body 6, it can be determined that it is the empty can 5 made of aluminum.

[0013]

【Example】

 In this embodiment, a channel-shaped empty can receiving plate 1 and a tread plate 2 are pivotally attached to the empty can receiving plate 1 by pivotally attaching a pivoting rod 7 to the left and right side wall portions that overlap each other at their front edges. A tread 2 is provided so that it can be raised and lowered.

The width of the tread 2 is set to a width on which the foot is placed, and the left and right side walls prevent the foot from slipping off. The foot 3 is formed on the lifting edge of the tread 2, and the foot 3 is formed. A rubber plate 8 made of rubber is attached to the upper surface of the step part 3 to prevent the foot from slipping. Further, as the pull-up gripping body 4 of the present embodiment, a pull-up string is used from the left and right side wall parts of the step part 3. Although the handle bar is attached, the handle rod may be attached so as to project upward.

Further, in the present embodiment, the locking claw edge 9 that engages with the end edge 5 ′ of the empty can 5 inserted into the lower surface of the foot part 3 and that prevents the slipping when the empty can 5 is crushed is used. It is molded in steps.

In this embodiment, a fitting recess 10 is formed at an intermediate position between the two locking claw edges 9 and the magnet body 6 is slightly protruded from the lower surface of the tread 2 in the fitting recess 10. Mated and bonded. The magnet body 6 may have a magnetic force enough to attract the iron empty can 5 when the empty can 5 is stomped and the tread plate 2 is lifted again, and the strong magnet body 6 is simply attracted and fixed to the upper surface of the tread plate 2. Then, it may be designed so that a magnetic force sufficient to attract the empty can 5 made of iron is exerted on the lower surface of the tread 2 through the plate surface of the tread 2, and a position at which magnetic force capable of attracting the empty can 5 made of iron is exerted. If so, the mounting method and mounting position of the magnet body 6 can be designed appropriately.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 is an inclined portion for escaping the attachment portion of the lifting grip body 4, and reference numeral 12 is a reinforcing strip.

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the empty can can be crushed by a simple operation of simply repeating the stepping motion and the lifting motion, so that it can be handled at home and has an extremely simple structure. Therefore, it is possible to provide an inexpensive can crusher with excellent mass productivity.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to manually touch each empty can with a magnet, and by simply repeating the stepping operation, the empty can is made into a flat waste state without being bulky and, at the same time, an empty can made of aluminum and an empty can made of iron. Therefore, it is possible to provide an empty can crusher of a simple stepping type that is extremely useful for distinguishing between and.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] 1. A front edge of a tread plate that undulates on the empty can support plate is pivotally attached to the front edge of the empty can support plate so that the tread plate can be undulated and opened and closed with respect to the empty can support plate. It is a foot-type empty can crusher with a foot tread formed so that it can be placed on the foot, and a lifting grip for lifting the tread upward is attached to the lifting edge of the tread. When an empty can is inserted between the plate and the tread plate and the crushed empty can is crushed, a magnet body for adsorbing the flattened empty can that has been crushed is attached to a position where the flattened can crushed by the tread plate can be attracted.
