Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a record stylus cleaner that removes dust attached to the record stylus.

When a record is played on a record player, dust in the sound groove of the record almost always adheres to the record stylus.

If you play with dust on the record needle,
Noise may occur while playing, or the sound grooves on the record may be damaged.

It has been considered to use a brush or the like to remove this dust, but using a brush or the like tends to damage the record stylus itself and has the disadvantage that the removed dust is scattered near the cartridge.

Further, it is also possible to directly remove dust adhering to the record stylus with a fingertip, but this also has the drawback of easily damaging the record stylus.

This invention was devised to correct the above-mentioned defects, and its purpose is to be able to remove dust etc. attached to the record stylus without damaging the record stylus, and also to remove dust from the record stylus without damaging the record stylus. To provide a cleaner for a record stylus, which allows dust and the like stored in a record stylus to be thrown away all at once, allows a player to be easily attached to and removed from a cabinet, and allows a bag and a battery to be easily replaced.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

A record stylus cleaner (hereinafter simply referred to as cleaner) 1 has a casing composed of an upper casing part 2a and a lower casing part 2b, which can be separated from each other at position A shown in FIG. It is configured.

An opening 3 for taking in air is formed in the upper casing part 2a, and a hollow part 4 is formed in the lower casing part 2b.

Further, a large number of air exhaust holes 5 communicating with the hollow part 4 are formed in the lower part of the lower casing part 2b, and the bottom part is further shielded by a bottom plate 6.

Therefore, when the upper and lower casing parts 2a and 2b are combined as shown, the opening 3, the hollow part 4, and the air exhaust hole 5 communicate with each other to form an air flow path as shown by arrow B.

On the other hand, at the upper end of the hollow part 4 of the lower casing part 2b,
An annular locking portion 7 is formed, to which a bag 8 consisting of a mesh of appropriate roughness and a fixing ring attached to the opening edge of the mesh is removably provided.

That is, the bag 8 is provided so as to be attached and detached at a separation position A between the upper casing part 2a and the lower casing part 2b.

A net 9 is attached to the lower side of the bag 8 within the hollow portion 4, and a motor mounting plate 11 in which air holes 10 are formed is provided further below the net 9.

A DC motor 12 is mounted on the upper surface of the motor mounting plate 11 to rotate a fan 13 arranged on the lower surface of the motor mounting plate 11.

That is, the DC motor 12 and fan 13 are built into the casing.

Further, a battery storage case 14 that also serves as a handle is protruded from the side of the outer periphery of the lower casing part 2b.
A battery 15 is housed inside.

In addition, battery terminals 16a, 16b, power switch 17, D
The C motor 12 is connected by a lead wire (not shown).

A suction cup 18 is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 6, so that the cleaner 1 can be attached to and removed from the cabinet of the record player 19 at the lower casing portion 2b.

Next, a method of using the cleaner 1 constructed as described above will be described.

First, positioning of the cleaner 1 will be described.

The cleaner 1 is positioned using the battery storage case 14 as a handle so that the record needle 23 attached to the cartridge 22 faces into the opening 3 when the tone arm 21 is in the armrest position as shown in FIG. Ru.

At this position, place the cleaner 1 on the record player 19.
The cleaner 1 is pressed onto the cabinet of the record player, and the cleaner 1 is attracted onto the cabinet of the record player by the suction cup 18.

When removing dust attached to the record stylus 23, the cartridge 22 is positioned over the opening 3 as shown in FIG.

When the power switch 17 is closed in this state, the fan 13 is rotated by the DC motor, and air flows as shown by arrow B due to the suction action of the fan 13.

At this time, if dust is attached to the record stylus 23, it is suctioned away from the record stylus 23 along with the air flow, gets caught in the mesh of the bag 8, and is stored in the bag 8.

That is, the dust is removed without damaging the record stylus 23, and the removed dust is collected and stored in the bag 8.

Therefore, the removed dust is not discharged from the air exhaust hole 5 and scattered.

On the other hand, when discarding the dust accumulated inside the bag 8, the upper casing part 2a is removed, the bag 8 is picked out, and the dust inside the bag 8 is discarded all at once.

This discarding operation can be performed only after the dust has accumulated in the bag 8 to some extent, and it is very convenient because it does not scatter the dust on the record player 19.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, record player 1 by screwing cleaner 1.
It may be fixed on the cabinet of the record player 19, or it may be adhered to the cabinet of the record player 19 using a so-called double-sided adhesive tape.

In summary, the record stylus side cleaner according to the present invention includes a casing that is configured to be separable into an upper casing part and a lower casing part, and that houses a motor and a fan driven by the motor. A bag for storing dust, etc. is disposed in the air flow path formed in the air flow path and communicating with the air intake opening, and the bag is attached and detached at a position where the upper casing part and the lower casing part are separated. furthermore, a battery storage case is provided protruding from the side of the lower casing part, and is configured to be attached to and removed from the player cabinet at the lower casing part, and facing the air intake opening. The fan is driven by the motor to suck up dust and the like adhering to the record stylus positioned at the record stylus, and the dust and the like are stored in the bag.

Therefore, with the record stylus side cleaner configured in this manner, dust and the like adhering to the record stylus can be removed without damaging the record stylus.

Furthermore, since the bag is removably arranged, it is possible to dispose of the dust and the like stored in the bag all at once without scattering it.

Further, since the battery storage case is provided protruding from the side of the lower casing part, the player can be easily positioned on the cabinet and attached/detached using the battery storage case as a handle.

Moreover, by providing a battery storage case as mentioned above,
The battery storage case does not pose any problem when replacing the bag, and there is no need to remove the upper casing part when replacing the battery, making it easy to replace the bag and battery.
