Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Modified) [Purpose] Efficiently remove thorny flowering tree thorns such as roses at one time and remove unnecessary leaves. [Arrangement] A cylindrical body 3 which rotates in a horizontal direction and an arc plate 5 are arranged on the outer side of the cylinder body 3 in a relationship of gradually narrowing a facing distance toward the rotation direction side of the cylinder body 3. The rubbing material 12 was adhered to the inner surface with a constant width.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a thorn remover for a flowering tree having a thorn on a stem such as a rose.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the thorns of thorny flower trees, such as roses, have been manually tipped, and automatic machinery has not been put on the market.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a device capable of mechanically and efficiently performing thorning, thereby saving labor and improving productivity.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a cylindrical body that rotates in the horizontal direction and an arc plate on the outer side of the cylinder so as to gradually narrow the facing distance toward the rotation direction side of the cylinder, and to the inner surface of the arc plate. It is characterized in that it is constituted by sticking a rubbing material to a certain width in the above.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the process of holding the rose flower tree by hand and inserting it from above into the gap between the rotating body that rotates in the horizontal direction and the circular plate arranged on the outer side, and pulling it toward you, As they come into contact with each other and are twisted about the fulcrum, the thorns attached to the stalk are peeled off by the shearing force.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows the device of the present invention, where A is a side view and B is a plan view. Reference numeral 1 is a base plate, and 2 is a pair of inverted L-shaped pedestals standing upright at fixed intervals on the base plate, and a cylindrical body 3 is rotatably supported in the center. Reference numeral 4 denotes a speed reducer motor mounted on one of the inverted L-shaped mounts, the output shaft of which is connected to the rotary shaft 7 of the cylindrical body 3. The cylinder is made of wood, metal, synthetic resin, etc., but a rubber film or the like can be attached to the surface if necessary.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an arc plate which is arranged in parallel to the outside of the cylindrical body 3 through a pair of columns 6 standing on the base plate 1, and when the circular plate 3 is rotated, the circular plate 3 is rotated. The facing distance S is gradually narrowed toward the direction side.

Reference numeral 8 is a screw bolt for attaching the circular arc plate 5 to the support 6 at an upper position, and reference numeral 9 is a nut. The rotation of the nut 9 allows the gap S in the upper portion to be appropriately changed.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an overhanging rod that supports the lower surface of the circular arc plate 5 between the columns 6, and at the tip end position, the interval S facing the cylindrical body 3 below the circular arc plate 5 via the screw bolt 11. Can be changed appropriately. This portion defines the final spacing S, and is set to be approximately the same as the stem diameter of the flowering tree.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rubbing member adhered to the central portion of the inner surface of the arc plate 5, and in this example, it has a structure in which a large number of grid grooves P are formed on the plate surface using a rubber material. The width interval is designed to be within a range of about 2 to 6 cm so that the stem of the flowering tree receives a resistance to be temporarily locked by coming into contact with the part and is twisted back and forth in the length direction.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a leaf remover disposed below the end of the arc plate 5, which has a structure in which a V-shaped branch plate 13b is provided on a support rod 13a having a constant height. The rod 13a is inserted into the hole 14 formed on the base plate 1 so as to be detachably supported. At this time, the hole 14 is provided in a large number in a relative position parallel to the cylindrical body 3 and the circular arc plate 5. It is pierced, and its fitting position can be changed or the number can be increased as needed. (In the example shown, two are attached)

The leaf remover 13 removes the leaves after the stem that comes into contact with the branch plates 13b and 13b when the stem of the flowering tree is sandwiched between the V-shaped branch plates 13b and 13b and pulled toward the front. Since the leaves in the range of about 1/3 to 1/2 are usually removed from the root side of the stem, the leaf remover 13 takes the length below the cylindrical body 3 into consideration. Will be installed. In the above embodiment, the motor 4 with a reducer may be built in the cylindrical body 3.

The present invention has the above-described structure, and when the work is performed, the power of the drive motor 4 is turned on to rotate the cylindrical body 3, and the stem of the cylindrical body 3 and the circular arc of the flower tree are held by the hand. When the stem is inserted into the gap S of the plate 5, the stem comes to be twisted back and forth about the middle portion of the rubbing member 12 as it contacts the rubbing member 12. At this time, the barbs attached to the stem are cylindrical. By the action of the shearing force received from the rotating force of the body 3, it will be scraped off in the process of reaching the end of the circular plate 5.

Then, the stem falling from the end of the arc plate 5 is to be supported between the branch plates 13b, 13b of the leaf remover 13 arranged below, but at this time, pull the hand toward the front side. The leaves attached to the stem are stripped off by the branch plates 13b and 13b as the stem is pulled by.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, a large number of thorns attached to the stem can be efficiently removed at one time, and unnecessary leaves can be easily removed. It will greatly contribute to the improvement of performance and labor saving.
