Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of application of the invention] This invention relates to the structure of straw bundles placed in stables.

[Background of the idea]

Straw bundles for stables are generally made from straw bundles 1 as shown in Figure 1.
are bundled into a round shape with a circular cross section, and the four circumferences of the bundle are tied with a binding band 2, and then the bundle is handled. In addition, racing horses' feet are fatal.If the straw used in the stable is too long, it can become entangled with the horse's feet or cause accidents such as horseshoes slipping on and off.

For these reasons, it is necessary to cut the straw into equal lengths to prevent accidents. This process is traditionally performed by stable workers.

Therefore, since conventional straw bundles for stables are bundled with a round cross section, it is difficult to cut the straw bundles into required equal lengths using a machine such as an electric cutter. Therefore, workers had to use a manual machine called oshikiri to push through the material.
It has been found that cutting straw using a manual push-cut machine creates dust during cutting, which makes the stable environment extremely poor, and does not have a positive impact on the health of workers or racehorses.

In addition, a considerable amount of time is spent on this work process, which results in extremely poor workability in the stable, creating an economic burden on the stable operator, such as increased personnel costs.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was made to solve this problem, and it eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional method by bundling a bundle of straw material for stables into a square cross-section and holding the four circumferences in a square cross-section with cable ties. The purpose of the present invention is to provide bedding bundles for stables that can be used for stables.

[Example of idea]

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiment shown in FIG.

In Figure 2, 3 is the raw material straw that will be used as the material for the stable. The straw raw material 3 is arranged into a straw bundle 4 having a rectangular cross section before being bundled. 5 is
This is a binding band applied around the four circumferences of the straw bundle 4, which is a raw material to be placed in the stable with a square cross section, so that the straw bundle 4 is held in a square cross section.

As described above, in this embodiment, the bundles of straw for stables are bundled to have a rectangular cross section, and the four circumferences of the bundles are tied with binding bands.
Since the cutter blade 6 is held in a rectangular cross-section, when it is cut mechanically with an electric cutter, the tip of the cutter blade 6 comes into surface contact with the surface of the bundle of straw litter for stables, as shown in Figure 2B. Since the bedding bundle can be cut vertically without bending, it is possible to divide the bedding bundle for stables into equal pieces of required length. In addition, no dust is generated when the straw is cut, which improves the environment of the stable and has a positive effect on the health of workers and race horses. In addition, the present invention requires less time to work at the stable compared to conventional manual work, in which the bundling of straw for the stable is removed from the binding band, the straw raw material is taken out, folded and cut into the required equal parts, and cut. This can be expected to have the effect of greatly reducing the physical and personnel burden.

[Summary of the idea]

As described above, the present invention is a bundle of litter for stables, which is characterized by bundling raw materials for litter for stables into a square cross-section, and holding the bundle in a square cross-section with binding bands around the four circumferences.

[Effect of the invention] Therefore, according to the bundle of litter for stables of the present invention, the bundle of litter for stables is bound to have a square cross section, and is held in a square cross section by a cable tie. When using the bundle of straw for stables, the work of folding it into necessary equal parts can be done by cutting it into any desired length using a cutting machine such as an electric cutter.

In other words, according to the straw bundles for stables of the present invention, workers can significantly reduce the time required to cut the straw bundles compared to the time required for the conventional work process, so they can convert this time into time spent interacting with race horses. Above all, it has the effect of effectively increasing work efficiency in the stable.

In addition, this invention has the advantage of lower costs for stable owners, leading to a significant reduction in labor costs, as well as allowing the use of electric cutters and reducing the amount of dust that is created when cutting the straw. Because there is no
It has the effect of significantly improving the sanitary environment within the stable.
