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) Conventionally, the above-mentioned asparagus and the like have been cut and harvested using ordinary garden shears or the like.
That is, while holding an asparagus or the like in one hand, the stem is cut with scissors held in the other hand. Since both hands are required to collect asparagus, etc., the work is complicated and the hands are easily injured by scissor blades, plant thorns, etc. Also, since it is not possible to carry out harvesting while holding the harvest basket with one hand, the harvest basket must be strapped to the body or placed in a designated location and the harvest must be carried to that location. However, the drawback was that the harvesting work was extremely complicated.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it makes it possible to collect harvested products such as asparagus with one hand without having to hold them with your hands, making the harvesting work easier. The purpose of the present invention is to provide harvesting shears that can be used safely.

(Structure of the invention) The harvesting shears of this invention have a pair of corresponding blades and a pair of handles connected to the base end of the blades, and a bracket is provided on the upper surface of the pair of handles. A first clamping member made of an elastic body disposed above the blade and substantially parallel to the blade surface is attached to one of the brackets, and a first clamping member made of an elastic body is attached to the other bracket so as to intersect with the first clamping member. , and a base end portion of a second clamping member made of an elastic body having a pair of upper and lower clamping portions disposed to sandwich it from above and below is attached.

(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 . The second clamping member 21 also includes a U-shaped core wire 24 having a pair of upper and lower clamping parts disposed to sandwich the first clamping member 20 from above and below, and a cladding tube 2 fitted around the core wire 24.
The core wire 24 and the cladding tube 25 are made of the same material as the first holding member 20.

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.

In this way, the harvested material can be collected with only one hand holding the scissors body 1, and there is no need to hold the harvested material with one hand when cutting the scissors as in the past, so the work can be done safely and quickly. can be done. Also, since you can carry out work while holding the harvest basket with one hand, you can tie the harvest to your body,
It is extremely convenient because there is no need to carry the harvested products each time to a harvest basket set at a predetermined location.

Furthermore, a first clamping member 20 made of an elastic body is disposed parallel to the blade surface on one side of the brackets 15 and 16 protruding from the upper surface of the handles 12 and 13 of the scissors body 1.
At the same time as attaching the above brackets 15 and 16.
A second clamping member 21 made of an elastic body having a pair of upper and lower clamping parts arranged to intersect with the first clamping member 20 and sandwich it from above and below is attached to the other of the stems of asparagus, etc. Since the stem is held at three points above and below when cutting, it is possible to stably support a long harvested product in an upright state without the need for such a strong pressing force. . Therefore, with a simple configuration, asparagus can be easily harvested without damaging the stems or the like. Furthermore, since the core wires 22 and 24 are covered by the sheathing tubes 23 and 25, respectively, it is possible to reliably prevent the crop from being damaged by the clamping force.

In addition, the core wires 22, 24 and the cladding tube 23,
Instead of the clamping body 2 made of 25, the clamping body may be constructed of a synthetic resin plate having appropriate elasticity or the like. In the above embodiment, the measuring rod 3 is connected to the tip of the core wire 22, and the measuring rod 3 is used as a reference to obtain a crop of uniform length. It may be directly attached to the scissors body 1, or the measuring rod 3 may be omitted.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, with this invention, the harvested material can be collected with one hand without holding it, which prevents hands from being injured by scissor blades, plant thorns, etc. This has the advantage that it is possible to prevent damage to the asparagus stems, etc., and that the harvesting operation can be carried out easily and quickly by holding the harvesting basket with one hand.
