Egg picking equipment

Abstract

To provide an egg picking tool which enables a person to pick up eggs scattered on the ground while standing, thereby reducing the work required for picking up eggs by bending the upper body and picking up the eggs one by one with his / her hands. [Solution] The egg picking tool is composed of an egg clamping part 3 made of a pair of metal wires 5 bent into a U-shape, and a handle part 2 and a grip part 1 connected to it.By pressing an egg 4 between the pair of metal wires 5, the elasticity and curvature of the metal wires 5 allows the egg 4 to be picked up while remaining in an upright position.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a tool that allows a person to pick up eggs scattered on the ground while standing. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, there was no equipment that could be used to pick up eggs scattered on the ground while standing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 04-124175 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a person picks up eggs scattered on the ground, they have to bend their upper body and pick up the eggs one by one by hand, which is hard work. This invention was made to eliminate this hard work.

[0005] Previously, devices have been proposed that involve pressing against a golf ball while standing, clamping it down and picking it up, but the clamping part is very elastic, so when used to pick up eggs, there was a problem in that the eggs would be crushed when pressed down. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The device is composed of a handle for holding with the hand, a handle connected to the handle, and an egg clamping part having a pair of curved metal wires at the tip of the handle for clamping an egg, and the elasticity of the metal wires and the curved shape solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] When a person grasps the handle and presses an egg between the pair of curved metal wires at the egg clamping section at the tip of the handle, the elasticity of the metal wires causes the gap between the pair of wires to widen, clamping the egg, eliminating the need for the person to bend their upper body to pick up the egg and making egg picking easier. Furthermore, because the pair of metal wires has just the right amount of elasticity, there is no risk of the egg being crushed, and because the curves of the wires and the curved surface of the egg come into contact when clamped, the egg will not fall.

[Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a front view showing the egg picking tool of the present invention in use. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a side view showing the egg picking tool of the present invention in use. [Figure 5] 1 is a detailed side view of the egg clamping portion of the egg picking tool of the present invention in use; FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The device is composed of a grip part 1 to be held by hand, a handle part 2 connected thereto, and an egg holding part 3 having a pair of curved metal wires 5 at the tip of the handle part 2, and the width W2 of the curved part of the metal wires 5 is wider than the width W1 of the base end part.

[0010] When the handle part 1 is gripped and the space between the pair of metal wires 5 of the egg clamping part 3 provided via the handle part 2 is pressed against the egg 4, the space between the pair of curved metal wires 5 of the clamping part 3 expands due to elasticity, and the egg 4 is clamped. [Example]

[0011] The handle 1 is made of wood or, for lightweight types, a rubber grip is used, and the handle 2 is made of aluminum plate, and for lightweight types, a carbon shaft, which is used in golf shafts, is used to reduce weight. The metal wire 5 of the egg-holding part 3 is made of stainless steel wire, and the handle 2 and metal wire 5 are fixed together using a wire clip via the aluminum plate to ensure strength.
