Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to dust removal.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as dust collectors, for example, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 4, in order to allow a dust receiver 101 to receive dust to be swept up and to sweep dust on the floor with a broom into a dust receiver 101 while a person stands up. , A handle 102 fixed so as to stand upright on the dust receiver 101.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to store this conventional dust collector when not in use, the handle 102 is fixed to the dust receiver 101. Therefore, the same plane area as the dust receiver 101 and a size equal to or higher than the handle height. Space is required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a dust remover capable of reducing a storage space.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention proposes a dust remover having a dust receiver and a handle connected so as to stand upright, and swings the handle inside the dust receiver via a bracket. It is characterized in that a positioning groove is formed on the front edge and the upper edge of the bracket so that a sleeve fitted to and disengaged from the handle can be fitted and removed.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the present invention, when the handle is used, the handle is positioned in the upright state by erecting the handle so that the handle stands upright with respect to the dust receiver and fitting the sleeve into the positioning groove formed on the upper edge of the bracket. Also, by sliding the sleeve upward from this state and letting it escape from the positioning groove formed on the upper edge of the bracket, the handle can be freely tilted forward. After tilting the handle almost horizontally, slide the sleeve backward and fit it into the positioning groove formed on the front edge of the bracket, and the handle will be fixed in the horizontal position. In this state, when the handle is erected, the dust receiver stands upright and the plane area of the entire dust remover is reduced to the area of the rear wall of the dust receiver.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a dust remover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1 and the sectional view of FIG. 2, the dust collector includes a dust receiver 1 for receiving the dust to be swept and a rod-shaped handle 2 connected to the rear portion of the dust receiver 1 so as to stand upright. The dust receiver 1 has a substantially rectangular (or square) bottom plate 3, a rear wall 4 that is raised by bending the rear edge portion of the bottom plate 3, and a left and right edge portions of the dust receiver that are folded up. The left and right side walls 5 and 6 are provided.

The height of the rear wall 4 and the left and right side walls 5 is lower than the length of the short side of the bottom plate 3. Further, connecting margins 7 and 8 are continuously provided at the rear edges of the left and right side walls 5 and 6, and the connecting margins 7 and 8 are fixed to the left and right ends of the rear wall 4 by rivets 9, for example. The bottom plate 3, the rear wall 4, and the left and right side walls 5, 6 are fixed to each other.

The material of the dust receiver 1 is not particularly limited, but a thin polished steel plate is used here in order to reduce the weight and enhance the appearance. A U-shaped bracket 10 having a front surface opened in a plan view is fixed to an inner central portion of the rear wall 4, and a lower end portion of the handle 2 is attached to a lower portion of the bracket 10 via a pin 11 in the lower portion. It is swingably connected.

The material of the bracket 10 and the handle 2 is not particularly limited, but here, in order to reduce the weight and enhance the appearance, the bracket 10 is formed of a polished steel plate, and the handle 2 is formed of a polished thin-walled steel pipe. Is forming.

A cylindrical sleeve 12 is slidably fitted on the handle 10, and the sleeve 12 is fitted on and removed from the upper and front edges of the left and right side walls 13 of the bracket 10, respectively. Grooves 14 and 15 are formed.

The material of the sleeve 12 is not particularly limited, but here, in order to reduce the weight and enhance the appearance, the sleeve 12 is formed of a polished thin-walled steel pipe cut into an appropriate length.

When using this dust remover, the handle 2 is erected, and the sleeve 12 is fitted into the positioning grooves 14 formed in the upper edge portions of the left and right side walls 13 of the bracket 10 to position the handle 2 upright. . As a result, the user can put the front edge of the dust removing bottom plate 3 on the floor surface in an upright posture without bending the waist, knees and ankles, etc., and can dust the floor dust into the dust receiver 1 with a broom.

When not in use, the sleeve 12 is disengaged from the positioning grooves 14 formed on the upper edge portions of the left and right side walls 13 of the bracket 10, the handle 2 is tilted forward, and the sleeve 12 is attached to both left and right sides of the bracket 10. By fitting in the positioning groove 15 formed at the front edge of the wall 13, the handle 2 can be positioned in a position substantially parallel to the bottom plate 3 of the dust receiver 1. When the handle 2 is positioned in a position parallel to the bottom plate 3 and the tip of the handle 2 is lifted to stand up, the dust receiver 1 rises together and its bottom area becomes a small area equal to the area of the rear wall 4. Become. Therefore, in order to store the dust collector when not in use, a space having a flat area smaller than the area of the bottom plate 3 and the height of the handle 2 is sufficient, and the storage space can be reduced.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in the perspective view of FIG. 3, a handle 2 in which a pipe member is bent in a gate shape is used. The handle 2 swings through a pin 11 to a bracket 10 of which the both ends are provided inside the left and right side walls 13 of the dust receiver 1 and which is L-shaped in plan view (or may be U-shaped with the front face opened in plan view). It is movably connected. The sleeve 12 is slidably fitted on one leg of the handle 2, and the sleeve 12 is fitted on and removed from the upper edge and the front edge of the bracket 10 supporting the leg. Positioning grooves 14 and 15 are formed.

Except for the difference in the shapes of the handle 2 and the bracket 10 and the connecting structure between the handle 2 and the dust receiver 1, this embodiment has the same configuration as that of the previous example, and its usage is also the same. . Therefore, as in the previous example, when not in use, a space having a plane area smaller than the area of the bottom plate 3 and the height of the handle 2 is sufficient, and the storage space can be reduced.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the dust remover of the present invention, the handle can be switched between the upright state and the position parallel to the bottom plate of the dust receiver, so that the handle can be upright and used in a comfortable posture during use. At the same time, the storage space can be reduced by standing the handle and the bottom plate of the dust receiver in parallel when not in use.
