Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to a shell gathering tool that captures shellfish while wearing footwear and walking in seawater at the beach.

(Prior art) When shellfish is traditionally harvested, a large shell gatherer is sunk to the bottom of the sea and pulled around by rope or by a boat, or when the water is shallow, attach a rod to a basket-shaped device and attach the rod to the shoulder. I had to hit the sea floor and collect the shellfish.

Also, when the shellfish are gathered by the general public, for example, when surfing, use a tool like a rake to scrape the sand, or soak it in seawater to the side of the waist and stir the sand on the seabed with your toes to snatch the shellfish. I was collecting.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, when old people or children collect shellfish for their in-house work, it is difficult to use the same method as the above-mentioned work, and in the case of shellfish harvesting, work with a rake or the like is used. Since the body is carried out in the posture of the front garbage, there is a problem in that it is very tired, and it is troublesome to pick up the searched shellfish while collecting the shellfish with the tip of the toes.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving these problems, in which the upper wall portion is flat and the lower peripheral wall portion is semi-elliptical or both upper corners are Form an arc wall A cylindrical body with a proper cross-section, such as a shape, is provided with a plurality of tongue-shaped projections inclined downward toward the front in a row on the lower peripheral edge of the front opening, and the rear opening peripheral edge is directed inward. On the upper surface of the upper wall of the shell gathering tool main body, which is the flange portion for hooking the bag, the thongs are provided on the upper ends of the thongs, and the footwear with the strings attached to both ends of the thong is detachably fastened to the flange portion for hooking the net bag. The front edge of the opening of the mesh bag is detachably attached.

(Operation) The present invention configured as described above is equipped with footwear such that it is immersed in seawater from the knees to the chest or wearing sandals, and the string provided at the rear end of the thong is held in the hand. If the tongue provided on the lower edge of the front opening of the tubular body walks forward so as to drown the sand on the seabed, the shellfish will pass through the tubular body together with the sand into the net bag, and the sand will be removed from the mesh. It is released into seawater and the shellfish inside the net bag body is collected.

(Embodiment) The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 5, the upper wall portion 1 has a flat plate shape, the lower peripheral wall portion 2 has a semi-elliptical shape, or both upper corners have arc-shaped wall portions. A plurality of tongue-shaped projections 6, 6, which incline downward toward the lower peripheral edge 5 of the front opening 4 of the tubular body 3 having an appropriate cross-sectional shape such as a shape.
Are arranged in a coarse comb-like shape, and the peripheral edge 8 of the rear opening 7 is directed inward to form a net bag retaining flange portion 9, and an insertion hole 10 is formed in the center of the upper wall portion 1. A shell gathering tool main body A formed by a synthetic resin material having a slight elasticity in which small protrusions 12, 12 for preventing rotation are provided at appropriate places on the upper surface 11 of the upper wall portion 1 is constituted.

As shown in FIG. 4, a sandal-sized footwear base plate 13 made of a soft synthetic resin material or a synthetic rubber material is provided with thongs 14 as in known sandals, and appropriate lengths of cords 15 are provided at both ends of the thongs 14 at the rear. Along with the attachment, a footwear B is constructed by forming through holes 16 corresponding to the insertion holes 10 provided in the upper wall portion 1 of the shell gathering tool main body A at appropriate places in the middle of the footwear base plate 13.

As shown in FIG. 6, the mesh bag C is attached to the opening side peripheral edge 18 of the mesh bag body 17,
The upper surface of the upper wall portion 1 of the shell gathering tool body A is edged by an engagement ring 19 such as a wire having a peripheral length that can be fitted into the rear wall 7 of the shell gathering tool body A. 11 Put the footwear B with the toe side in the direction of the front opening 4 and insert the through hole.
10 and the through hole 16 are aligned with each other, the sinking bolt 20 is inserted from above, and the wing nut 21 is tightened to fix the footwear B to the shell gathering tool body A in a detachable manner. Engagement ring on the flange 9 for hooking the net bag provided on the rear opening 7
19 is detachably attached to form the shell catching tool of the present invention.

The shellfish gathering device of the present invention configured as described above, when going for sea bathing or shelling, wear footwear B as if to soak in seawater from the knees to the chest and wear sandals, hold the string 16 in your hand and tongue The protrusions 6, 6 ... are thrust into the sand on the seabed and moved forward by scratching the sand on the seabed. Together with the sand, shellfish pass through the shell gathering tool main body A into the net bag C, and the sand from the mesh Is discharged outside the bag and the shellfish in the net bag C is captured.

(Effects of the Invention) With the shell collecting tool of the present invention having the above-described configuration and operation, shells can be collected by wearing footwear and slowly walking in the sea, and there is no need to take an unreasonable posture as in the past. If you are less tired and you feel the danger of high waves coming in, you can easily prevent an accident by quickly taking off your footwear and climbing to the shore. There is no dissipation of the shellfish.

Further, the present invention can be disassembled into a shell gathering tool main body, footwear, and a net bag, and has an excellent practical effect such as being convenient to carry.
