Benefits of technology

The invention provides a device for separating litter from sand. The device has a cylindrical unit with a mesh-formed outer surface, and a detachable mesh part of different sizes can be attached to it. The mesh part can be easily replaced, improving workability and reducing man-hour. The mesh size is finer than the size of the cylindrical unit's outer surface, allowing for the collection of smaller litter pieces. The rotational drive mechanism is located on the cylindrical unit's peripheral surface, and the mesh part is attached to the remaining outer portion of the cylindrical unit. This design allows for a slim storage space for the mesh part.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, some types of litter may possibly pass through the mesh, which makes efficient litter separation impossible.
Moreover, the drum type sieving member needs to be replaced with a different sieving member from one situation to another depending on the state of litter scattered on a sandy beach or the like, which makes litter collection time-consuming.

Abstract

In a rotary drum type litter separating apparatus including a cylindrical unit supported rotatably and having a peripheral surface formed in a mesh form as a part of the cylindrical unit, the cylindrical unit includes a bottomed part which closes one end of the cylindrical unit and a loaning / unloading port which opens the other end of the cylindrical unit, and a mesh part which is a detachable separate member is further attached to an outer periphery of the cylindrical unit. The litter separating apparatus is capable of separating various kinds of litter of different sizes from sand, thereby reliably collecting the litter. Moreover, the mesh part can be replaced easily. Thus, the workability is improved, and the man-hour is reduced. Such litter separating apparatus is capable of efficiently collecting various kinds and different sizes of litter.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention claims priority under 35 USC 119 based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-110404, filed on May 24, 2013. The entire subject matter of this priority document, including specification claims and drawings thereof, is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a rotary drum type litter separating apparatus for collecting litter from a beach. More particularly, present invention relation to a litter separating apparatus having a plurality mesh parts of different mesh sizes for separating litter of various kinds and different sizes from sand.[0004]2. Description of the Background Art[0005]There is a known beach cleaner, which is used as an apparatus for collecting litter scattered on the sand ground of a sea beach or the like. An example of such beach cleaner is disclosed in the Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-17451...
