[0016] Instead of folding the net manually, the net can now be folded easily by holding the cord stopper and pulling the cord itself. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] The drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the invention according to the present disclosure, including essential features of the invention as well as alternative and preferred embodiments. [Figure 1] FIG. [Figure 2] 1(a), (b), and (c) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the various parts of the net folder. [Figure 3] FIG. 10(a) is an explanatory diagram illustrating a ring portion, and FIG. 10(b) is an explanatory diagram illustrating a cord stopper. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram (1) illustrating a folding method of the net folding device. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram (2) for explaining how to fold the net folder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this example, a description of already known technologies will be omitted. Furthermore, the structures and methods for embodying the technical idea of ​​the invention are exemplified, and the technical idea of ​​the invention is not limited to those described below. The technical idea of ​​the invention can be variously modified within the scope of the matters described in the utility model claims. In particular, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic and may differ from the actual product.

[0019] A net folder 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a front view of the net folder 3. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating each part of the net folder 3. This net folder 3 is for folding a mesh-like net 1, and includes a long string body 3a, a fixing part 5a that is located at one end (in area 5) of the string body 3a and is used to fix it to the net, a cord stopper part 9a that is located at the other end (in area 9) of the string body 3a and serves as a handle for retracting the string body 3a, and a ring part 7a that is located between the fixing part 5a and the cord stopper part 9a (in area 7) and that holds the net 1 and the string body 3a inside. The net 1 is folded by holding the cord stopper part 9a and retracting the string body 3a.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2(a), the fixing part 5a is a net folding tool 3 that fixes one end of the string body 3a by tying it to the net 1. Instead of tying it, a fixing tool may be attached to one end of the string body 3a to fix it to the net 1. The outer periphery of the net 1 is surrounded by a rope or the like, and the fixing part 5a is fixed to this rope.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2(c), the cord stopper portion 9a is a net folding tool 3 that is larger than the mesh size and does not allow the mesh to slip through. As a result, by holding the cord stopper portion 9a by hand to fix it so that it does not move and pulling in the cord main body 3a, the cord stopper portion 9a will ultimately fix the mesh. In other words, the cord main body 3a is pulled in, and as a result, one end of the net 1 is pulled in and folded, and in this state the cord main body 3a is finally fixed to the cord stopper portion 9a.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2(b), one ring portion 7a may be disposed between the fixed portion 5a and the cord stopper portion 9a, or multiple ring portions 7a may be disposed in multiple positions. By disposing this ring portion 7a, the string body 3a does not separate from the net 1 when folding, and the net 1 can be folded precisely. For example, multiple ring portions 7a are disposed for a long net 1, and one ring portion 7a is disposed for a normal length net. In this embodiment, one ring portion 7a is disposed.

[0023] The string bodies 3a are net folding devices 3 that are arranged on the net in multiple units depending on the size of the net. In other words, it is desirable to increase the number of string bodies 3a when the width dimension of the net 1 is long, and decrease the number of string bodies 3a when the width dimension of the net 1 is short. In this embodiment, the net is folded using three string bodies 3a.

[0024] The net 1 is preferably a garbage net for covering garbage. The garbage net is used every day, and if it is not folded, it spoils the scenery and becomes a nuisance.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3(a). The shape of the ring portion 7a is shown. The ring portion 7a is configured to be openable and closable by a hinge 7b. This prevents the net 1 and the string body 3a from separating when the mesh of the net 1 and the string body 3a are passed through the inside and folded.

[0026] See Figure 3(b). This shows the cord stopper portion 9a. A through-hole 9b is formed in the cord stopper portion 9a. A shaft 9c is also formed in the center of the cord stopper portion 9a when viewed from the side. This shaft 9c is positioned above and below the through-hole 9b to secure the string body 3a. That is, the string body 3a is passed through the through-hole 9b, rotated 180 degrees around the shaft 9c, entangled, and then pulled out from the original through-hole 9b, which serves as a stopper for the string body 3a at the position where retraction and folding are complete. Note that some force is required when retracting the string body 3a, but it is not a strong force and does not cause any problems with retraction.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. These are explanatory diagrams illustrating how to fold the net folder 3. As shown in Figure 4, three string bodies 3a are placed on the net 1, and each string body 3a is pulled in the direction of the arrow AR. When folding, the string bodies 3a are pulled in one by one from the left side of Figure 4 and folded. The net 1 is folded as shown in Figure 5.

[0028] As described above, the net folding tool 3 for folding a mesh-like net 1 comprises a long string body 3a, a fixing part 5a that is located at one end of the string body 3a and is used to fix the net 1, a cord stopper part 9a that is located at the other end of the string body 3a and serves as a handle for pulling in the string body, and a ring part 7a that is located between the fixing part 5a and the cord stopper part 9a and that holds the net 1 and the string body 3a inside, and the net 1 is folded by holding the cord stopper part 9a and pulling in the string body 3a. This makes it possible to easily fold a mesh net 1 that is difficult to fold.

[0029] The fixing portion 5a is a net folding tool 3 that is tied to and fixed to the net 1. This allows the entire net 1 to be folded.

[0030] The cord stopper portion 9a is larger than the mesh size and is a net folding tool 3 that does not slip through the mesh. This makes it possible to grab and fix the cord stopper portion 9a by hand and pull in the string main body 3a.

[0031] The ring portion 7a is a net folding tool 3 that is arranged at a plurality of positions between the fixing portion 5a and the cord stopper portion 9a. This makes it possible to prevent the string body 3a from separating from the net 1 when folding the net 1.

[0032] The string body 3a is a net folding tool 3 that is arranged on the net 1 in a plurality of pieces according to the size of the net 1. This makes it possible to fold the net 1 reliably.

[0033] The net 1 is a garbage net for covering garbage, and is a net folding tool 3. This allows the garbage net used every day to be easily folded, so that it does not get in the way and also helps preserve the landscape.

[0034] Although the embodiments have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the utility model registration. Furthermore, it is also possible to combine all or some of the components of the above-described embodiments. [Industrial Applicability]

[0035] The net folding device 3 of the present invention can be used for garbage nets and the like. [Explanation of symbols]
