An example of a driving source is the air-sucking force of a vacuum cleaner connected to the rear attaching pipe 3 of the main body 1, and a fan 12 in the main body 1 rotates a rotation shaft 11, which drives the clipper trimmer 14 through an eccentric joint 13. At least the upper portion (if necessary, and the side portion) near to the tip of the main body 1 is covered with an attachment 2 formed from e.g. a transparent material, and the upper and front portions of the blade tip are covered with comb teeth 2a attached to the attachment 2. The pills can be cut, while the cutting state is confirmed through the transparent attachment. Thereby, the pill-removing device can be operated in response to the states of the fabric and the comb teeth covering the blade tip. The cut dusts are sucked and subsequently received in the vacuum cleaner.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pill removing device for removing pills generated on sweaters, blankets and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as a pill remover for home use, a pill remover utilizing an electric razor structure is commercially available. There are two types of electric razors: a reciprocating type in which the inner blade reciprocates and a rotary type in which the inner blade rotates, and the latter type is mainly used as a pill removing device. I have.

[0003]

However, this rotary pill remover has the following disadvantages. Due to its structure, the moment when the pill is cut is invisible. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 51 denotes a rotary pill remover, and 52 denotes a pill ball group.
The hair ball group 52 to be removed cannot be seen behind the head portion. Therefore, there is a possibility that the blade hits the embroidery part of the target clothing or a decorative item such as a button, and the situation that the pill is removed is not known, and the pill removing device 51 may be pressed too much against the surface of the clothing or the like. May damage the dough or damage the blade of the pill remover. In particular, if the target fabric is highly elastic, it is difficult to understand how the fabric is adjusted.

Since the outer blade is formed to be quite thin due to its structure, the outer blade may be broken when strongly pressed or hit against a button or the like.

[0005] Structurally, pills larger than the size of the hole formed in the outer cutter cannot be cut because they do not enter the hole. Normally, the diameter of the hole is 2 to 3 mm, but the pills collectively become large pieces of several centimeters.

Due to the structure, the fabric may be damaged if pressed strongly against the fabric. The diameter of the hole formed in the outer blade is 2 to 3 mm as described above. However, depending on the material, swelling or wrinkles of the material may enter the hole and be cut by the inner blade.

Since the cut pills are taken into the outer blade, the pills pass through the inner blade and the rotating shaft, and the pills adhere to the vicinity of the pills, and the pills adhere to the mechanism. May cause trouble.

Generally, three inner blades rotate along the inner surface of the outer blade having a dome-shaped structure, so that noise generated by the friction is large. This noise is proportional to the blade diameter. The dome shape of the outer blade causes the pill to be cut down when the pill remover is moved, and the pill cannot be cut. Since the pills are uprooted in connection with the fact that the cutting situation described above cannot be visually confirmed, the texture of the fabric may be lost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pill removing device which solves the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0010]

According to the present invention, there is provided a clipper trimmer driven by a driving means to cut an object by reciprocating a blade in a direction perpendicular to an operation direction of an instrument. A body including the driving means, and including the clipper trimmer so as to protrude the cutting edge from the tip, and a body including a path for sending dust cut by the clipper trimmer backward, transparent, opaque, or translucent; Formed at the tip, a comb-shaped portion that covers the cutting edge of the clipper trimmer from above toward the front, covers at least the upper surface so that dust does not escape from the path of sending the dust of the main body backward, and
The problem is solved by providing an attachment detachable from the main body.

[0011] In addition, in order to prevent the dust from deviating from a path for sending dust of the main body backward, the attachment is formed so as to cover an upper surface of the main body and make an inner surface of an attachment side surface contact with a side surface of the main body. This can be solved.

Further, in the preceding and second aspects, the driving means rotates a fan provided in the main body by an air suction force of a vacuum cleaner acting through a pipe connected to a rear end opening of the main body. Or by a small motor provided in the body.

Further, in the preceding paragraph, the lint such as pills cut by the blades of the clipper trimmer is sucked through the path for sending the dust of the main body backward by the air suction force of the vacuum cleaner and is housed in the vacuum cleaner. It is solved by having configured so.

Further, in the preceding two aspects, a lint such as a pill cut by the blade of the clipper trimmer is used to feed dust of the main body backward by a dust suction motor and a fan provided in the main body. The above problem is solved by being configured to be housed in the dust case in the main body.

[0015]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The pill cutting means of the present invention is a clipper trimmer whose blade moves in a direction perpendicular to the operating direction of the instrument. The tip of the cylindrical body is slightly flattened, and the cutting edge is protruded from the tip to arrange the clipper trimmer.
A path is formed on the outer surface of the main body to guide dust such as pills cut by the clipper trimmer blade to the rear of the main body, and the upper part of the path is formed of a transparent material so that the dust does not deviate and diffuse from the path. Cover with the attachment.

At the tip of the attachment, comb teeth are formed,
The comb teeth bend and cover from the top to the front of the cutting edge of the clipper trimmer. These comb teeth function as a guard for preventing the material from being caught when the device is slid on the surface of the material to be treated.

When the attachment is formed of a transparent material,
Operation is possible while checking the dust intake status. Therefore, the fabric is not damaged and the desired cut cannot be performed. However, the use of a translucent or opaque material does not affect basic functions. Also,
By setting the roughness of the comb teeth according to the size of the pill to be cut, desired cutting can be performed.

The drive source of the hair clipper trimmer utilizes the air suction force of a vacuum cleaner connected to the rear of the main body by using a pipe, rotates the fan, converts the rotational motion into linear motion, and drives the hair clipper trimmer. Alternatively, a small motor and a battery for it may be built in the main body, and the motor may be driven by performing the same conversion from the rotation of the motor.

Dust such as cut pills are stored in a predetermined place through a path for sending dust formed on the body backward, and the attachment has a shape of the body so that the dust does not diffuse out of the path. Depending on the condition, the cover may be configured to cover only the upper surface or to include the side surface, and to form a shape that seals a required portion.

Dust such as cut pills pass through a path formed on the main body to send the dust backward, and when the driving source is the air suction force of the vacuum cleaner, the dust is stored in a garbage bag of the vacuum cleaner. On the other hand, when the driving source is a small motor in the main body, a separate motor and a fan are provided for suction and housed in a dust case provided in the main body.
