Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a thorn remover for flowering trees having thorns on stems such as roses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the thorn removal of flowering trees such as roses that have thorns on their stems has been carried out manually, and no mechanical device has been put on the market.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device capable of mechanically and efficiently performing barbing to save labor and improve productivity.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a cylindrical body which rotates with a rotation axis in the horizontal direction, and a distance between the cylindrical body and the circular arc plate which is gradually narrowed outward of the cylindrical body toward the rotational direction side of the cylindrical body. It is characterized in that the arc plate is arranged in such a relationship as to make the arc plate and the rubbing member is adhered to the concave surface of the arc plate at a certain width in the inner surface portion.

[0005]

[Function] The stem is slid in the process of pulling it toward the front by inserting it from above into the gap between the rotating body that holds the rose flower tree by hand and rotates horizontally and the circular plate arranged on the outer side thereof. The barbs that are in contact with the rubbing material and are twisted around the fulcrum as a fulcrum are peeled off by the shearing force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 shows a device of the present invention, in which A is a side view,
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. 4 is the reverse L
A motor with a reducer attached to one of the racks, the output shaft of which is connected to the rotary shaft 7 of the cylindrical body 3. The cylindrical body is made of wood, metal, synthetic resin material or the like, but a rubber film or the like can be attached to the surface thereof if necessary.

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

Reference numeral 8 denotes a screw bolt for mounting the circular arc plate 5 on the support 6 at an upper position, and reference numeral 9 denotes 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 part 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 the present embodiment, it has a structure in which a large number of grid grooves P are formed on the plate surface using a rubber material. When the stem of the flowering tree comes into contact with the grid groove P, the resistance is temporarily locked, and the stem is twisted in the lengthwise direction of the stem. Distance between adjacent grid grooves is about 2 to 6 cm
Done

Denoted at 13 is a leaf remover disposed below the end of the circular plate 5, which is constituted by a V-shaped branch plate 13b on a supporting rod 13a having a constant height. Rod 13a
Are inserted into holes 14 formed on the base plate 1 so as to be detachably supported. At this time, a large number of holes 14 are formed at a relational position parallel to the cylindrical body 3 and the circular arc plate 5. Therefore, it is possible to change the fitting position appropriately or increase the number of the fittings. (In the example shown, four are attached)

In the leaf remover 13, when the stem of a flowering tree is sandwiched between V-shaped branch plates 13b, 13b and pulled toward the front, leaves after the stem that come into contact with the branch plates 13b, 13b are removed. 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. It will be attached. In the above embodiment, the motor 4 with a reducer may be built in the cylindrical body 3.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and in the work, 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 space S of the plate 5, the stem comes to be twisted back and forth around the middle portion of the rubbing member 12 as a fulcrum. By the action of the shearing force received from the rotating force of 3, the arc plate 5 is scraped off in the process of reaching the end.

However, the stems falling from the end of the arc plate 5 are the branch plates 13b and 13b of the leaf remover 13 arranged below.
The leaves are attached to the stems by the branch plates 13b and 13b as the stems are pulled closer by pulling the hand toward the front side at this time.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention is configured as described above.
Many of the thorns attached to the stem can be efficiently removed at a time, and unnecessary leaves can be easily removed, which contributes to improved work performance and labor savings. It is a squeal.
