SOIL TURNING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soil turning device allowing a user to easily perform soil-turning-blade sticking work and soil turning work only by stepping-on motion of a worker's foot, with the worker keeping a substantially standing posture, without bending the back and configured not to occupy an extra space in storage.SOLUTION: The soil turning device comprises a handle part 20, and a soil turning part 10 rotationally journaled to a tip end of the handle 20. The soil turning part 10 includes: a support rod 11; a plurality of soil turning blades 12 and 12 disposed at the lower side of the support rod 11 in a comb-like manner; a first stepping part 13 formed on the upper side of the support rod 11 in an opposite side of the soil turning blades 12 and 12; a second stepping part 14 disposed on the upper side of the first stepping part 13; and journal parts 15 and 15 journaled to rotary shafts 21 and 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】作業者が腰を屈めることなく、すなわち作業者がほぼ直立姿勢を保持したまま作業者の足の踏み込み動作のみで土起こし刃の突き刺し作業及び土起こし作業を容易に行えることを可能にするとともに、保管の際に余分な収納空間を占有しない土起こし器具を提供する。【解決手段】柄部２０と、該柄部２０の先端に回動自在に軸支される土起こし部１０と、からなり、土起こし部１０は、支持杆１１と、支持杆１１の下方に櫛状に配設される複数の土起こし刃１２、１２と、該土起こし刃１２、１２の反対側の支持杆１１上方に形成された第一足踏部１３と、該第一足踏部１３の上方に配設された第二足踏部１４と、回転軸２１、２１に軸支される軸支部１５、１５と、を備えることを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
