Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This relates to a technique for handling bags filled with filler material, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART At construction sites, bags with handles (for example, flexible container bags (flexible container bags)) are sometimes used to dispose of surplus soil, rubble, and waste and to make sandbags.

[0003] Since it is difficult to directly fill such bags with filler material, auxiliary bag filling devices are often used, which has often caused technical problems at construction sites. Under such circumstances, auxiliary devices for bag filling have been proposed, for example, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 5. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Structure of the bag filling auxiliary device according to this embodiment)

[0011] The structure of a bag filling auxiliary device 1 according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "this device") will be described using Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a front view of this device 1, Figure 2 is a plan view of this device 1, Figure 3 is a side view of this device 1, and Figure 4 is an enlarged view of a connecting portion 10 provided in this device 1.

[0012] The device 1 is used to fill a filler material 26, such as surplus soil, rubble, or waste, into a bag body 22. The bag body 22 often has two string-like handles 24 at opposing positions on the side, and the following description also assumes that the bag body 22 has the handles 24.

[0013] In addition, the following description will be given assuming that the device 1 is used by placing the bag body 22 inside the tubular portion 2 provided with the device 1, but the device 1 can also be used by placing the bag body 22 outside the tubular portion 2 and filling the bag body 22 with a filler material 26. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the device 1 has a cylindrical portion 2 and a suspending portion 8 , and the suspending portion 8 has a connecting portion 10 , a hook portion 14 , and a bolt member 16 .

[0014] 1 and 2, the tubular portion 2 is a cylindrical portion into which a bag body 22 having a handle 24 is placed when in use. The bag body 22 is, for example, a flexible container bag. The tubular portion 2 is preferably made of metal.

[0015] 1 to 3, the suspending part 8 is a part that is rotatably connected to both diametrical ends (opposite positions) of the upper opening 4 of the tubular part 2 at connecting parts 10 at both ends. The suspending part 8 has a bilaterally symmetrical shape and has an apex in the center, making it easy to hook an external lifting device such as a crane or power shovel, and the hook naturally moves to the apex when lifting, making it easy to lift the suspending part 8 (the device 1). In addition, the clamping part 8 is preferably made of metal. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hook portions 14 are positioned symmetrically on the left and right sides of the hanging portion 8, and are portions for hanging the handle portion 24 of the bag body 22.

[0016] 1 to 3, the connecting portion 10 is a portion that connects the tubular portion 2 and the hanging portion 8. In the connecting portion 10, a bolt member 16 is passed through a hole 12 provided in the connecting portion 10 and a hole 6 provided in the tubular portion 2, and the positional relationship is fixed with a nut member or the like.

[0017] As shown in Figure 4, hole 12 provided in connecting part 10 is longer in vertical direction 20 than in horizontal direction 18 when hanging part 8 is erected in vertical direction 20. Then, bolt member 16 moves through hole 12 of connecting part 10, making it possible to move hanging part 8 up and down (in vertical direction 20) without moving tubular part 2. Based on this function, even when bag body 22 becomes heavy after being filled with filler 26 and it becomes difficult to detach handle part 24 from hook part 14, it is possible to easily detach handle part 24 from hook part 14 by moving only hanging part 8 (hook part 14) downward.

[0018] Based on the above-described structure, the device 1 is used to fill the bag body 22 with the filler material 26, etc., and although it has a simple structure, it improves the workability of filling the bag body 22 with the filler material 26, etc. (Method of using the bag filling auxiliary device according to this embodiment) A method of using the present device 1 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 8. Figures 5 to 8 are diagrams showing an example of the state in which the present device 1 is used.

[0019] (1) As shown in FIG. 5, a user who intends to use the device 1 to fill the bag body 22 with filler material 26 places the tube portion 2 on the ground with the upper opening 4 facing upward. (2) The user places the bag body 22, which has a diameter similar to that of the cylindrical portion 2, inside the cylindrical portion 2, and extends the edge of the bag body 22 from the inside of the upper opening 4 and hangs it on the outside. (3) The user hooks the handle 24 onto the hook 14 of the hanging part 8, and fixes the position of the bag body 22 to some extent. (4) The user places filler material 26 (target filling material) such as soil or waste into the bag body 22 through the upper opening 4.

[0020] (5) As shown in FIG. 5, once the filler material 26 has accumulated in the bag body 22, the user places the hook of an external lifting device (crane, power shovel, etc.) around the center of the suspending part 8.

[0021] (6) As shown in Figure 6, when the hook of the external lifting device is raised, the hook of the external lifting device naturally moves to the apex of the center of the suspending part 8. When the hook is further raised, the suspending part 8 stands vertically, and the bolt member 16 moves downward within the hole 12 of the suspending part 8 (the hole 12 moves upward). In this way, the suspending part 8 can be moved upward without moving the tubular part 2.

[0022] (7) As shown in Figure 7, when the hook of the external lifting device is further raised and the bolt member 16 reaches the lower end of the hole 12 of the connecting portion 10, the tubular portion 2 rises, and since the bag body 22 filled with the filling material 26 is heavy and does not move, the lower end of the bag body 22 appears from the lower opening of the tubular portion 22. In the state (7), the handle 24 of the bag body 22 is caught on the hook portion 14, and the bag body 22 and the tubular portion 2 cannot be separated, so the user must carry out the next step.

[0023] (8) As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the user temporarily stops the raising of the hook of the external lifting device, moves the bolt member 16 to near the upper end of the hole 12 of the connecting portion 10, i.e., lowers the position of the hanging portion 8, and releases the handle portion 24 of the bag body 22 hooked on the hook portion 14.

[0024] (9) Then, when the user continues to raise the hook of the external fishing device, the bag body 22 comes out completely from the lower opening of the tubular part 2, and the bag body 22 and the tubular part 2 can be separated. In this manner, the user completes the bag body 22 filled with the filler material 26.

[0025] By using the method described above, the device 1 is used to fill the bag body 22 with the filler material 26, etc., and despite its simple structure, it can improve the workability of filling the bag body 22 with the filler material 26, etc.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as defined in the claims.
