Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a cutter having a disinfectant supply means of the type that appropriately supplies a plant disinfectant to the cut end of the plant from a supply tank via a flexible tube. It is.

(Prior art) In general, when cultivating plants such as apples and grapes, when cutting other plants with a knife that was used to cut a plant that has been infected with a disease such as flan, pathogenic bacteria may be attached to the cutting edge. Pathogens can enter through the cut end through the knife, transmitting the disease to other plants that are not infected, and in some cases may even cause them to die.

For this reason, conventionally, as one of the methods for preventing and treating diseases such as flannel disease, as soon as a plant such as an apple or grape is cut with a knife, a disinfectant for plants such as a bactericidal liniment is applied to the cut end. The disinfectant is supplied and applied by a disinfectant supply means.

By the way, in the conventional disinfectant supply means,
An applicator made of a sponge or cotton-like fiber material is provided at the tip of the disinfectant outlet member located at the disinfectant outlet site, and by soaking the applicator with the disinfectant, the plant disinfectant is applied to the cut end of the plant. I try to apply it.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, when the applicator is made of a material such as a sponge, the liquid oozes out evenly from the surface of the relatively large applicator, making it difficult to apply to narrow cuts such as twigs. The degree of penetration of the solution into the applied body is affected by the heat, the roughness of the sponge or fiber material, the concentration of the liquid, etc., making it difficult to adjust the concentration and penetration rate of the disinfectant, and the degree of penetration of the disinfectant into the applied body may be affected. Various problems arose, including the fact that they easily got caught on branches and were damaged.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cutter having a disinfectant supply means that solves this problem.

(Means for solving the problem) A cutlery having a disinfectant supply means according to the present invention,
A cutlery having a disinfectant supply means for appropriately supplying a plant disinfectant from a supply tank via a flexible tube, wherein the disinfectant supply means includes a holding member that is integrally fixed to a grip of the cutler and is detachable. A brush-shaped body with a cap attached to the tip is attached to the tip.
Further, the present invention is characterized in that it includes a cylindrical disinfectant solution outlet member communicating with the flexible tube.

Note that the term cutlery here refers to a broad concept that includes various types of scissors such as pruning shears, pruning shears, and saws, as well as knives and saws.

Furthermore, the brush-like body referred to herein includes not only a normal brush body, but also a brush-like body in which small bundles of hair are arranged side by side.

(Function) According to the present invention, since the disinfectant supply means is attached to the cutter itself, it is possible to hold the cutter with one hand and apply disinfectant directly to the cut end of the plant while cutting off the plant. . Since the applicator at the tip of the disinfection outlet member is formed in the shape of a tapered brush, the applicator can be applied smoothly and easily, especially to narrow cuts such as twigs.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the cutter having the disinfectant supply means according to the present invention has the applicator at the tip of the disinfectant outlet member formed of a tapered brush-like body. Disinfectant can be easily applied even to narrow cuts such as

In addition, since the brush-shaped body maintains a substantially constant penetration level regardless of the concentration of the liquid, troublesome adjustment of the disinfectant concentration and penetration level can be omitted. In addition to the fact that the application body does not get caught on branches, there is no risk of damage.
1-2 by attaching a cap to the brush-shaped body
This is convenient because it prevents the brush from hardening with liquid even after a break of about an hour.

Furthermore, the knife according to the present invention allows cutting off plants and supplying disinfectant with one hand.
There is no need to change hands each time you perform both tasks. This is therefore advantageous, especially when one hand is needed for personal safety, such as when climbing and pruning a tree.
