Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of pruning shears used for pruning trees at high places and harvesting fruits.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a fixed blade, and 2 is a movable blade attached to the fixed blade 1 with a bolt 3 and a nut 4, with the shaft of the bolt 3 serving as its rotation axis.

5 is a rotation regulating stopper of the movable blade 2 formed on the fixed blade 1;
6 is a spring, 7 is a spring holder, 8 is a mounting bracket for a long handle 9 formed integrally with the fixed blade 1, and 10 is a string attached to one end of the movable blade.

Conventional pruning shears have the above-mentioned configuration, and are held in place by grasping the lower part of the long handle 9 with one hand and pulling the string 10 with the other hand to open and close the movable blade 2 against the fixed blade 1 against the spring 6. The blade portions 11 and 21 are used to cut branches located within the curved recess of the blade.

Therefore, it had the disadvantage that it could not cut thick or dead branches.

Also, when harvesting fruit, there was no way to store the cut fruit.

The purpose of this project is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and obtain pruning shears that can be used in a wide range of applications.
A shaft 15 is located below the movable blade mounting/opening/closing shaft 3 and parallel to that shaft 3.
is provided with a saw 12, a push cutter 13, and a storage bag 14 as attachments, each of which has holes 12A, 12B, 13A, which are inserted into the two shafts 3, 15.
13B, 19A, and 19B are provided, and any one of the attachments can be selectively attached.

For example, when installing the saw 12 shown in FIG. 3, the mounting holes 12A and 12B of the saw 12 are fitted into the shafts 3 and 15, respectively, and tightened with a butterfly nut 16, respectively, as shown in FIG.

Numeral 17 is a spacer that allows the nut to be attached, and its thickness is such that the saw 12 is parallel to the long handle 9.
approximately equal to the sum of the thicknesses of .

18 is a spring washer. When attaching the push cutter 13 shown in FIG. 4, it is attached through the attachment holes 13A and 13B in exactly the same manner.

Note that the storage bag 14 is attached to the mounting brackets 19 attached to the shafts 3 and 15.
A hook 23 provided in the upper frame 22 of the storage bag is inserted into the hole 20 of the storage bag.
Although the frame 22 is shown as being hung, a mounting bracket having mounting holes for the shafts 3 and 15 may be provided in the frame 22.

Further, the storage bag 14 may be a net or a basket.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when there are many thick branches or dead branches, by attaching and using the saw 12, it is possible to easily cut off those that cannot be cut with scissors with the blades 1 and 2.

In addition, when cutting roots that are difficult to cut with a saw, for example, at the base of a branch, attach the push-cutting blade 13, and when cutting the base of a branch, poke the root from below, make a cut, hook it into the recess of the fixed blade 1, and break it. do.

Further, when collecting fruit, a storage bag 14 is attached, and the fruits cut with pruning shears can be stored in the storage bag.

Therefore, the use of the long-handled pruning shears is expanded and the practical effect is great.
