Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a horticultural cutter used for cutting a string after it is tied when a twig or the like is fixed to the wire or the like stretched at a predetermined height in an orchard.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in pear cultivation, for example, when fixing a twig to which a fruit spread from a main branch is attached to a wire stretched at a predetermined height in a mesh shape, the wire and the twig are tied with a string, and the rest of the string is left. Had been cut with scissors or a cutter. The scissors and cutters used at this time are often taken out from the carrying case, which is generally worn on the waist, and cut each time. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a small cutter in which the blade 10 is formed obliquely with respect to the handle 12 and which is integrally formed of steel or the like is also partially used. This small cutter
The holding part 12 is grasped and the ring finger is passed through the ring part 11 for use.

[0003]

In the former case of the above-mentioned conventional technique, there is a problem that the work efficiency is deteriorated by the operation of taking out the scissors or the like from the carrying case because the work is continuously performed. Also, a small cutter as shown in FIG. 4 can be used near the wire while always holding it in the hand, but since it is often used and the blade 10 is hard to cut immediately, it should be replaced with a new one. Or, it was necessary to sharpen the cutting edge quite frequently. Again blade 1
Since the vertical distance from the extension line of the base end handle portion 0 of 0 is less than the thickness of the back of the hand, the blade edge may be hidden by the hand extended upward and the blade edge may not be visible to the user, which may cause a malfunction. . Further, since the blade 10 is in a protruding state, it may injure nearby people, trees, and the like.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a gardening cutter having a simple structure and good workability.

[0005]

The present invention has a blade holder to which a blade is attached, and a handle portion, and the blade holder and the handle portion are extensions of the handle portion. Diagonally about 3
A protrusion that is attached in the direction of 0 to 60 degrees, preferably 45 degrees, and is provided on the handle portion at a predetermined interval from the tip of the blade along the blade tip is integrally formed with the blade holder. The horticultural cutter has a gap formed between the tip end portion of the projecting piece and the base end portion of the blade, the gap being equal to or larger than the thickness of the string to be cut.

Further, in the horticultural cutter of the present invention, the blade is attached to the handle portion by a fixing means which is detachably provided. Furthermore, the blade is
The blade holder is provided integrally with the blade holder, and the blade holder is attached to the handle portion by a fixing means detachably provided. The distance between the base end of the blade and the extension of the handle is equal to or larger than the thickness of the operator's hand.

[0007]

In the gardening cutter according to the present invention, the blade tip is always visible to the user even if the hand is gripped and the hand is positioned above. Moreover, the blade tip is protected by the protruding piece provided in front of the blade edge, and the gap between the protruding piece and the blade holder does not pass through anything thicker than the string.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The horticultural cutter of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, it comprises a blade holder 1 and a handle portion 2,
A blade 5 is fixed to the blade holder 1. The blade holder 2 has its base end portion obliquely attached to the handle portion 2 by a bolt 6 as a fixing means. The angle formed by the two is, for example, about 135 °.

In this mounting portion, one end of the handle portion 2 is fitted in a groove 1b formed on the surface of the base end portion of the blade holder 1, positioned and fixed by a bolt 6. The other end of the handle portion 2 is also securely held in the hand so that the blade holder 1
The handle portion 2 is attached with a band 3 whose length can be adjusted. Here, the length of the blade holder 1 and the handle portion 2 is about the lateral width of the palm.

Further, the blade holder 1 is integrally provided with a projecting piece 1a provided so as to cover the blade tip 5a from the tip portion thereof toward the handle portion 2 along the blade tip 5a of the blade 5. There is. The projecting piece 1a is formed with a space equal to or larger than the thickness of the string to be cut, between the projecting piece 1a and the blade edge 5a. Further, the interval between the tip end of the protruding piece 1a and the base end of the blade holder 1 is also formed with a width equal to or larger than the thickness w of the string to be cut. Further, the base end portion of the cutting edge 5a is formed in the direction perpendicular to the extension line of the handle portion 2 at a distance h which is equal to or larger than the thickness of the back of the hand.

The blade holder 1 is made of synthetic resin such as plastic, and the handle portion 2 is made of metal or plastic. Moreover, the blade holder 1 is
It is detachably provided by a bolt 6 and can be replaced when the blade 5 cannot be cut.

Next, an example of use of the horticultural cutter of this embodiment will be described. First, adjust the length of the band 3 and
The index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger are inserted into the band 3 as shown in FIG. Next, the wire 20 above
Tie the twigs 22 together with the strings 14. And the string 1
The knot 16 of No. 4 is left, and the string 14 on the proximal side is inserted between the projecting piece 1a of the cutter and the cutting edge 5a. Then, the string 14 is cut by moving the string 14 and the cutter relatively. Then, after this, without lowering the hand, with the fingers passing through the band 3, the knot 16 is moved to the next knotting position of the twig 22, and the string 14 is formed in the same manner as above.
Is to disconnect.

The blade holder according to the present invention may have any shape as long as it can hold the blade, and is formed integrally with the handle.
The blade itself may be detachably provided. Further, the blade holding body or the blade fixing means may be one that elastically clamps the blade or the blade holding body.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the work efficiency can be greatly improved because other work can be performed while holding the cutter in the hand. Moreover, since the blade holding portion has a bent shape, the blade tip is always visible from the operator's side during use, which prevents malfunction. Further, the blades can be easily replaced, and the blades can always be kept in a good sharpness, so that the working efficiency can be further improved. Furthermore,
Since the protruding piece is formed in front of the blade edge, the surrounding person, the tree, or the hand of one's own can be prevented from being damaged even by a malfunction during work.
