Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to harvesting shears for collecting vegetables such as asparagus and plants for fresh flowers.

(Prior Art) When harvesting the above-mentioned asparagus or the like and shipping it as a product, it is necessary to make the length of the harvested product uniform. For this reason, in the past, it was necessary to sort the harvested products according to length or cut them into uniform lengths, which required extra time and effort, and the harvested products were It had the disadvantage of being easily damaged. In addition, conventionally, the stems of asparagus etc. were held in one hand and cut with scissors held in the other hand, which made the work complicated and caused damage to the scissor blades and thorns of plants. The disadvantage is that it can easily cause injury to the hands.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to collect asparagus etc. by accurately aligning it to a predetermined length, and it is possible to collect asparagus etc. by accurately aligning it to a predetermined length. It eliminates complicated labor, allows you to select and harvest only those that have grown to a certain length, and protects your hands from injury from scissor blades, plant thorns, etc. To provide harvesting shears that can prevent the above.

(Structure of the invention) The harvesting shears of this invention are configured such that a pair of clamping members made of an elastic body are disposed above the blades so as to intersect with each other, and the clamping members are opened and closed in conjunction with the blades. At the same time, a measuring rod extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the blade surface of the scissors body is provided in succession at the tip of one of the holding members.

(Example) In Fig. 1, 1 is the scissors body, 2 is the clamping body, and 3
is a measuring stick. The scissors body 1 has a corresponding blade 1
0, 11, handles 12, 13 connected to the blades 10, 11, respectively, and a pivot point 14 for the blades 10, 11. Rotating fulcrum 14 of the scissors body 1
Brackets 15 and 16 are provided protruding from the upper surface of the portion closer to the handles 12 and 13.

The clamping body 2 consists of first and second clamping members 20 and 21 arranged above the blades 10 and 11 and substantially parallel to the respective blade surfaces. The first holding member 20 is composed of a core wire 22 made of an elastic body such as a piano wire, and a cladding tube 23 made of a soft resin or the like fitted around the core wire 22.
A measuring rod 3 of a predetermined length extending substantially perpendicular to the blade surface of the blade 10 is integrally connected to the tip of the core wire 22 via a connecting portion 30 . Further, the second clamping member 21 includes a core wire 24 formed in a U-shape so as to sandwich the first clamping member 20 from above and below, and a core wire 24 formed in a U-shape to sandwich the first clamping member 20 from above and below.
The core wire 24 and the cladding tube 25 are connected to the first holding member 2.
It is made of the same material as 0.

The proximal end of the core wire 22 of the first clamping member 20 and both ends of the core wire 24 of the second clamping member 21 are screwed to the brackets 15 and 16 of the scissors body 1, respectively. are configured to open and close in conjunction with the blades 10 and 11 of the scissors body 1.

A method of using the harvesting shears configured as described above will be explained below. Handle 12, 1 of scissors body 1
3 to release the blades 10, 11 and the first and second holding members 20, 21, and position the blades 10, 11 on both sides of the stem of a harvested product such as asparagus. Then, with the upper end of the crop and the upper end of the measuring rod 3 facing each other and aligned, the blades 10 and 11 are closed to cut the stem. The cut crop is the blade 10,
11, the first and second holding members 20,
21, it will be held between them as shown in FIG. Therefore, the harvested product can be carried along with the scissors body 1, and by moving the scissors body 1 onto the harvest basket and opening the first and second clamping members 20, 21, the harvested product can be clamped. You can release the harvest and take it into the basket.

By aligning the cut points of the harvested product with reference to the measuring rod 3, each harvested product can be collected at uniform lengths. For this reason,
To omit the troublesome labor of sorting harvested products according to length or cutting them into uniform lengths after harvesting, and to prevent damage to the harvested products during the sorting, etc. It is extremely convenient. Furthermore, during harvesting, there is an advantage that the measuring rod 3 can be used as a guide for selecting and collecting plants that have grown to a certain length.

Further, a pair of clamping members 20 and 21 made of an elastic body are disposed in a crossed manner above each blade 10 and 11 of the scissors body 1, and the clamping members 20 and 21 are interlocked with the blades 10 and 11. Since it opens and closes and clamps the upper part of the cut part of asparagus etc. when cutting the harvest, there is no need to hold the harvest by hand when harvesting, and the harvesting work can be done easily without injuring the hands. It has the advantage of being able to

Note that by removably connecting the measuring rod 3 and the tip of the core wire of the first holding member 20, and replacing the measuring rod 3 with a measuring rod 3 of a different length as necessary, crops of various lengths can be collected. You can do it like this. It is also possible to provide a scale on the measuring rod 3 and set the cutting length of the harvested product as appropriate in accordance with the scale. In the above embodiment, a clamping body 2 is provided to clamp the harvested product after cutting, and a measuring rod 3 is connected to the tip of the core wire 22 of this clamping body 2, but the structure may be such that the clamping body 2 is omitted. .

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to this invention, it is possible to obtain crops of uniform length without trimming the length of the harvest after harvesting, and it also allows the crops to grow to a certain length. It is possible to selectively collect harvested products such as asparagus, making it easy to collect harvested products such as asparagus. Further, there is an advantage that the troublesome labor of sorting the harvested products according to their length after harvesting is unnecessary, and furthermore, it is possible to prevent the harvested products from being damaged during this sorting work. Moreover, since the stems of vegetables such as asparagus or plants such as fresh flowers can be cut without having to be held by hand, the harvested products can be easily collected without injuring the hands.
