[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a weeding machine for removing weeds that grow in gardens of homes, golf course courses, etc., and is capable of removing relatively short weeds, and weeding work. It is a weed eliminator that makes it easy and quick.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art So-called "weeds", which have the property of adapting to the land where natural vegetation such as Poa annua L., Aedes aegypti, etc., are destroyed, have strong fertility and affect the growth of crops in cultivated land, and In the garden, it becomes a cause of harmful insects and spoils the aesthetic appearance. Further, if it breeds on the course of a golf course or the like, it becomes an obstacle to the game.

Conventionally, as a means for removing such weeds, a method of spraying a herbicide to kill the weeds is known.

Further, weeding with a sickle or a hand is also a common method, but in general, a long weed is used with a sickle, and a short weed is directly extracted by hand.

On the other hand, a weeding machine as shown in FIG. 5 has been conventionally known, and it has been used especially for weeding in a golf course.

This weeder is formed by bending a rectangular thin plate, and in particular has an inclined main body 1 for gripping by hand, and a V-shaped notch groove 3a for sandwiching and removing weeds. It is provided with the formed horizontal holding part 3.

According to this weeder, the nipping portion 3 is inserted into the ground to enclose the root of the weed in the notch groove 3a,
After that, the weeds can be extracted from the root by performing a lever operation in the vertical direction using the bent portion 7 as a fulcrum.

[0008]

However, the weeding by spraying the herbicide among them can obtain a remarkable effect without requiring much labor, but has a drawback that the herbicide harms the local environment. It has become a major social problem as the harmful effects on the environment due to the application of herbicides have been highlighted.

On the other hand, according to weeding using a sickle, weeds can be relatively easily weeded because the roots of the weeds are simply cut, but the roots of the weeds remain in the ground, so that weeds Rapid breeding will start again,
As a result, weeding work must be performed in a short cycle, resulting in heavy labor.

Further, although the sickle is suitable for removing long weeds, it has a drawback that it can hardly be used with short ones.

On the other hand, the weeding by hand has a drawback that a great deal of labor is required when removing the weeds having roots. Especially when weeds inhabit hard ground, the stems are cut off from the roots when they are extracted, and the roots remain in the ground. This means that weeding work must be done in a short cycle, resulting in heavy labor.

Further, according to the weed eliminator shown in FIG. 5, the wrist must be bent in an unreasonable state when the gripping part is inserted into the ground or when the gripping part is moved upward with the bending part as a fulcrum. It is very inconvenient to use, and it causes wrist fatigue and work efficiency is not improved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and enables relatively short and small weeds that propagate to be rooted and removed, and the weeding work can be performed easily and quickly to improve workability. It is intended to provide a weeder capable of achieving the above.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a main body which can be held by hand, and a holding portion having a substantially V-shaped notch groove for holding a weed. In the weeder consisting of, the main body part and the holding part are formed into an integral flat plate shape, and the holding part is projected from the main body part,
A weed eliminator characterized in that the side edges of the main body that bulge on both sides of the sandwiching portion are bulged side edges that serve as fulcrums during weeding.

[0015]

According to the weed eliminator of the present invention, the nipping portion is inserted into the ground so that the root of the weed is sandwiched by the notch groove, and then the side edge of the main body portion, that is, the bulging side edge is brought into contact with the ground. If the main body is turned over, the weeds can be taken up and removed.

At this time, the bulging side edge of the main body which is in contact with the ground acts as a fulcrum of the lever, and acts so that the weeds sandwiched by the notches can be easily removed.

In particular, since it is sufficient to slightly twist the wrist so that the main body portion is turned over, the work can be easily performed without giving an excessive movement to the wrist, and the work efficiency is extended. It will be improved and work effort will be reduced.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a plan view showing a weeder of the present invention, FIG.
Is a sectional view of the weeder, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which weeds are sandwiched in the weeder, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which weeds are taken out from the weeder.

As shown in FIG. 1, the weeder 10 of the present invention is provided with a body 11 having a substantially elliptical shape having a circular opening 15 penetrating therethrough and a V-shaped notch groove 13a. The holding portion 13 and the holding portion 13 are integrally formed into a flat plate shape.

The main body 11 is a plate having a thickness of about 2 to 3 mm, and has a substantially elliptical shape as described above so that it can be easily gripped by a hand.

The material of the main body 11 may be a metal plate such as stainless steel or aluminum, or a thermoplastic resin such as polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride. Among them, the metal plate is preferably used in terms of strength. Particularly, it is most preferable to use stainless steel or aluminum from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance.

Further, the opening 1 penetrating the main body 11
Reference numeral 5 is for inserting the forefinger, which is the second finger of the hand, or the forefinger and the middle finger, which is the third finger of the hand, and has a circular shape with a diameter of about 35 to 40 mm.

On the other hand, the holding portion 13 is configured to project from the main body portion 11 and extend in the longitudinal direction, and the tip end in the longitudinal direction is sharpened as shown in FIG. It has a horn shape.

In particular, the notch groove 13a formed in the grass sandwiching portion 13 has a V-shape with a narrowed base end portion so that the weeds K can be easily sandwiched.

The side edges of the main body 11 which bulge out on both sides of the holding portion 13 are bulged side edges 11a as shown in the figure.
It is said that.

Next, the method of using the weeder 10 of the present invention will be described.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

First, the index finger and the middle finger are inserted into the opening 15, the main body 11 is held by the hand H, and the main body 11 is fixed in the hand H.

After that, as shown in FIG. 3, the sandwiching portion 13 is inserted into the root of the weed K, and the root is sandwiched by the notch groove 13a formed in the sandwiching portion 13.

Then, when the weeds K are completely sandwiched by the cutout grooves 13a, as shown in FIG. 4, one of the protruding side edges 11a of the main body 11 is brought into contact with the ground G and the hand H is twisted. The swelling side edge 11a is used as a fulcrum to operate the weeder 10 so that the weeder 10 is turned over.
Will be removed from the ground G.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured as follows.

For example, as the shape of the main body 11, a circular shape or a quadrangular shape may be adopted in addition to the elliptical shape.

Further, according to the above embodiment, the opening 15 is provided so that the main body portion 11 can be easily gripped, but the opening 15 may not be provided.

[0033]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The weeder according to the present invention has a main body and a holding portion which are integrally formed into a flat plate shape, and the holding portion is projected from the main body portion and bulges on both sides of the holding portion. Since the side edges of the swelling side are the bulging side edges that serve as fulcrums for weeding, the weeds are pinched in the notch groove of the holding part, and then the wrist is slightly twisted with one bulging side edge as the fulcrum to roll the body sideways. It has an excellent effect that the weeds can be rooted out just by performing the operation.

In particular, since weeds can be removed from the ground, roots do not remain in the ground, and weeds can be prevented from breeding as much as possible.

Moreover, since weeds can be removed by a slight twist of the wrist, the fatigue of the wrist is reduced, and the weeding work can be efficiently performed and human fatigue is reduced. Produce an effect.
