Weeding nozzle

Abstract

This invention provides a weeding nozzle that can easily and effectively remove weeds growing in fields and flowerpots. [Solution] A nozzle 1 used for removing weeds, comprising a main body 2, a tip 3, and an opening 4, wherein the opening is provided in a predetermined position around the side of the main body near the tip, in an appropriate size and number, and by inserting the nozzle into the soil within the roots of the weed and spraying water, the soil around the weed is loosened, allowing the weed to be removed without leaving any roots behind.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a weeding nozzle that can easily and appropriately remove weeds growing in fields and flower pots.

Background Art

[0002] When weeds grow in a field or a flower pot, it is common practice to remove the weeds by pulling them out by hand or by digging up the soil.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] When pulling out weeds growing in a field or a flower pot, the roots of the weeds may remain in the soil and regenerate. Also, when removing weeds by digging up the soil, the soil containing nutrients for the growing plants may be removed, or it may affect the growth of the plants. An object of the present invention is to pull out weeds without leaving the roots of the weeds in the soil and without removing the soil containing nutrients for the growing plants.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The present invention inserts a nozzle for injecting water around the weeds to spread moisture to the soil entangled around the roots of the weeds, so that the soil entangled around the roots of the weeds is loosened, and the weeds can be pulled out by the roots without removing the soil containing nutrients. An opening for injecting water is provided around the side surface near the tip of the nozzle.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] [Figure 1] Magnified view of the tip of the weeding nozzle. [Figure 2] This diagram shows the weed-pulling nozzle of the present invention attached to an oil dispenser-shaped container. [Figure 3] A diagram showing the weed-pulling nozzle of this invention attached to the tip of a watering nozzle.

[0007] Figure 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the tip of nozzle 1 of the weed-pulling nozzle. Nozzle 1 comprises a main body 2, a tip 3, and an opening 4. By connecting nozzle 1 to a water tap, pump, or container 5 filled with water, and inserting it into the soil around the weeds, water is sprayed from the opening 4 to spread water around the weeds and loosen the soil, allowing the weeds to be easily pulled out by their roots. The tip 3 of nozzle 1 has a pointed shape for insertion into the soil. The conical part of tip 3 does not have an opening to prevent soil from clogging when inserted into the soil, and the opening 4 for spraying water is formed around the side near tip 3. The size of the opening 4 is set to an appropriate size to prevent soil from clogging. Water is sprayed from the opening 4 into the hole in the soil made by tip 3, loosening the soil entangled in the weed roots. The size, shape, and arrangement of the opening 4 can be appropriately designed according to the depth and spread of the weed roots.

[0008] Figure 2 shows an example where the nozzle 1 is attached to an oil dispenser-shaped container 5. By filling the container 5 with water, inserting the nozzle 1 into the soil around the weed, and squeezing the container 5 firmly, water is sprayed and spread around the weed, loosening the soil entangled in the weed's roots. This allows the weed to be easily pulled out without removing the soil from the growing plants, and without leaving any roots behind.

[0009] Figure 3 shows an example where nozzle 1 is connected to a water supply or pump. In this example, the weed-pulling nozzle of the present invention is attached to the tip of a watering nozzle. Since a large amount of water can be supplied to nozzle 1, the weed-pulling nozzle of the present invention can be used efficiently over a wide area such as a field. The method of use is the same as in the example in Figure 2. Explanation of Symbols
