Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a foot-operated can crushing device that crushes cans such as empty cans and spray cans with a foot.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, one end of an undulating plate is pivotally attached to one end of the placing plate to provide the undulating plate with respect to the placing plate so that the can is sandwiched between the placing plate and the undulating plate. A foot-operated can crushing device has been proposed in which the other end of the plate is stepped on with a foot and the undulating plate is pressed against the mounting plate to lie down and crush the can flatly.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the conventional method of crushing with a simple plate surface, soft empty cans such as juice cans can be crushed well, but hard cans such as spray cans cannot be crushed easily.

In order to easily crush this spray can and the like, the undulating plate must be made quite long. However, this would make the device large, and the foot of the undulating plate would be at a considerably high position when stepping on it with the foot, thus impractical.

The present invention has a technical problem to provide a foot-operated can crushing device having a size suitable for a foot-operated type and capable of easily stepping and crushing a hard can such as a spray can. .

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

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

One end of the undulating body 2 is pivotally attached to one end of the mounting body 1 so that the undulating body 2 can be undulated with respect to the mounting body 1, and between the mounting body 1 and the undulating body 2. In a foot-operated can crushing device in which a can 3 is disposed, and the undulating body 2 is pressed against the mounting body 1 to lie down and crush the can 3, a can pressing portion 4 is projected on the mounting body 1 or the undulating body 2. At the tip of the can pressing portion 4, there is provided a can pressing vertical edge 5 that abuts on the can central portion 3a substantially parallel to the center axis direction of the can 3. The can pressing vertical edge 5 presses and abuts on the can central portion 3a. When pressing the center part 3a of the can inward, the can pressing taper part 6 is formed on the left and right sides of the can pressing vertical edge 5 so as to contact the left and right sides of the center part 3a of the can and press downward inward. It is related to the canned type crusher.

The foot-operated can crushing device according to claim 1, characterized in that a piercing blade portion (7) piercing the surface of the can central portion (3a) is formed on the can pressing vertical edge (5).

[0009]

[Action]

 When the undulating body 2 is pushed down on the mounting body 1, the can pressing vertical edge 5 is gradually pushed into the can central portion 3a which is substantially parallel to the central axis direction of the can 3, and the central portion 3a of the can is inward. Is crushed to. At this time, the can pressing taper portion 6 presses and abuts the left and right sides of the central portion 3a of the can, and the right and left portions of the central portion 3a of the can are pressed inward and downward to crush the can 3.

If the piercing blade portion 7 is formed on the can pressing vertical edge 5, the piercing blade portion 7 pierces the surface of the central portion 3a of the can, and the crushed can 3 is positioned and fixed and, for example, sprayed. In the case of a gas can such as a can, the gas inside the can 3 is degassed.

[0011]

【Example】

 In the present embodiment, the can pressing vertical edge 5 is provided on the undulating body 2 that falls down.

As shown in the drawing, one end of a rectangular frame-shaped undulating body 2 is pivotally attached to one end of a rectangular frame-shaped placing body 1, and a can 3 is placed near this pivoting portion to form the undulating body. The other end of 2 is squeezed with a foot and the can 3 is crushed. A large number of slabs 8 are erected on the undulations 2 at predetermined intervals. A plate-shaped can pressing portion 4 is hung in the lengthwise direction of the above, and the lower edge thereof is used as a can pressing vertical edge 5.

In the present embodiment, an uneven blade having a sharp tip is formed on the can pressing vertical edge 5 to form a large number of piercing blade portions 7.

Further, the can pressing taper portion 6 of the present embodiment is inclined downward to the left and right to the left and right of the can pressing vertical edge 5 where the can pressing taper portion 6 is connected to the can pressing portion 4 at the lower edge of the crosspiece 8. It forms a tapered edge.

Therefore, when crushing, the can pressing vertical edge 5 with the piercing blade portion 7 is gradually pushed into the can central portion 3a substantially parallel to the central axis direction of the can 3, and the can central portion 3a is pushed. A large number of can pressing taper parts 6 crushed inward and arranged in parallel press the left and right sides of the center part 3a of the can to press the left and right parts of the center part 3a of the can inwardly downward, and these two pressing forces apply pressure to the can. 3 is pushed.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the central part of the can, which is substantially parallel to the central axis direction of the can, is crushed inward of the can, and the cans are crushed by two pressing forces that press the left and right of the central part of the can inward downward. Because of the structure, it is possible to provide an excellent foot-operated can crushing device that is suitable for a foot-operated type and can easily crush hard cans such as spray cans.

If a piercing blade portion is formed on the vertical edge of the can, the piercing blade portion pierces the can surface and the crushed can is positioned and fixed. For example, in the case of a gas can such as a spray can. Since the gas inside the can is released at the same time, it is possible to provide a foot-operated can crusher that is more practical.
