JPH11333595A - Stepping type squeezer of square empty can - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To squeeze an empty can flat by two stepping actions of a press lever by pressing a bulged part formed in a primary press by a projecting bar in a linear contact manner when the empty can after the primary press is moved and placed to a distal side, and fixing a secondary press member both sides of which are folded to a lower surface of the press lever. SOLUTION: When a square empty can 2 is placed and held between stoppers 5 of a base 1, and a press lever 4 is pressed downwardly, a recessed part is formed over the whole length in a longitudinal direction at a center part in the width direction of the empty can 2 by a primary press member 7, both side parts of the recessed part are inclined inwardly to form a bulged part on both end parts in the longitudinal direction of the recessed part. The empty can 2 is moved backward, and placed and held on a square empty can placement base 9 between stoppers 8. When the press lever 4 is pressed donwardly, a projecting bar formed in the width direction of both ends of a secondary press member 12 presses the bulged part on a proximal side downwardly, and both side parts of the recessed part are pressed downward while inclined inwardly, and folded since an aperture of (h) in height is present from an upper surface of the base 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a four-sided crushing machine for a four-sided empty can, such as an 18-liter can, which is replaced once by depressing the pressing lever twice to fold it flat. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for crushing a large empty can such as an 18-liter can without using power, the utility model registration No. 30
No. 32478 is known. In this device, an empty can is placed in the upper and lower receiving plates of the base, the foot pedal is depressed several times, the ratchet mechanism is pressed to depress the center of the empty can, and this empty can is transferred to the upper receiving plate and changed to the handle lever. As a result, one side is further pressed and crushed, and the other side is reversed and crushed.

[0003]

In the above prior art, the empty cans were transferred to the upper and lower chambers, and furthermore, they were turned upside down and crushed. Therefore, there was a problem that the mechanism was complicated and expensive, and the working efficiency was poor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a pressing lever is attached to one end of a base on which a square empty can is placed so as to be vertically rotatable. When the first pressing member forming the concave portion is fixed to the center of the width of the square empty can over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and the square empty can completed the primary pressing is moved to the back side, 1
That the bulges formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of both sides of the concave portion inclined inward by the next pressing are line-contact pressed by ridges, and that the secondary pressing member that folds the both sides is fixed to the lower surface of the pressing lever. Features.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 is 1
A base having a length of about 1.2 m on which a large square can 2 such as an 8 liter can is placed. A base of a pressing lever 4 is pivotally attached to a horizontal shaft 3 at one end so as to be vertically rotatable. . Reference numeral 5 denotes a stopper protruding from the base so as to hold the square empty can 2 at the first pressing position. On the lower surface of the pressing lever 4 is fixed a primary pressing member 7 having a ridge 7a in both longitudinal directions forming a concave portion 6 in the longitudinal direction at the center of the width of the square empty can 2 over the entire length. Reference numeral 8 denotes a stopper for moving the square empty can 2 after the first pressing and moving it backward, and holding the mounting table 9 of the square empty can 2 by h from the upper surface of the base 1. Numeral 10 denotes both sides of the concave portion which is inclined inward by the primary pressing, and bulges 11 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof are formed by ridges 11a.
And press in the line contact to fold the concave side portions 10.
The next pressing member 12 is fixed.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, an 18-liter large square empty can 2 is placed and held between the stoppers 5 of the base 1. Then, when the pressing lever 4 is pressed downward by the foot, the first pressing member 7 forms a recess such as 6 at the center in the width direction over the entire length in the width direction of the square empty can 2, and both side portions 10 of the recess are inward. Incline. And recess 6
Are formed with bulging portions 11 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. Next, the square empty can 2 having been subjected to the first pressing is moved backward and is placed and held on the placing table 9 between the stoppers 8. Next, when the pressing lever 4 is pressed downward by the foot, the second pressing member 1 is pressed.
2, the ridges 11a on the front side of the ridges 11a formed in the width direction at both ends press the bulge portion 11 on the front side downward, so that both side portions 10 of the concave portion are pushed downward while tilting inward and both side portions of the concave portion. Since there is a gap of height h between the lower end 10 and the upper surface of the base 1, it is folded as shown in FIG.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a pressing lever is attached to one end of a base on which a square empty can is mounted so as to be vertically rotatable, and the center of the width of the square empty can is arranged on the lower surface of the pressing lever over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The primary pressing member that forms the concave portion is fixed, and when the square empty can that has completed the primary pressing is moved and placed to the back side, the length of the concave portion inclined inward by the primary pressing is reduced. The bulges formed at both ends in the direction are line-contact pressed by ridges, and the secondary pressing member that folds the both sides is fixed to the lower surface of the pressing lever, so that an 18-liter square empty can is placed on the base. It can be replaced once and the pressing lever can be crushed flat by two steps of foot operation, and the entire structure can be manufactured simply and inexpensively.
