WATER SURFACE CLEANER

To provide a method of efficiently removing oil or dirt on a liquid surface such as a water surface.SOLUTION: A water surface cleaner is provided with a hole at the bottom of a container, and a lid having buoyancy. With this mechanism, the lid serves as a valve so that the lid is closed when the container is pushed into water from the water surface so as to scoop water, and the lid is opened when the container is raised so as to discharge water outside. Accordingly, clean water is returned to the original water from the bottom and oil or dirt floating on the water surface is left. By repeating such a vertical motion, dirt can be recovered repeatedly. By finally raising the container with the lid closed using a handle for discarding dirt accumulated inside, dirt can be recovered without throwing away a large amount of water.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】解決しようとする課題は、水面などの液面の油分や汚れを効率よく取り除く方法である。【解決手段】本発明は、容器の底に穴を設けて浮力を持った蓋を設ける。この機構により蓋が弁の働きをして、容器を水面から押し込むときは蓋が閉まり水を掬い取ることができ、容器を持ち打ち上げると蓋が開き容器の水が外に出るので、きれいな水は底から元の水中に戻し、水面に浮いた油や汚れは残る。このように上下動を繰り返すことで汚れを繰り返し回収することができる。最終的にハンドルで蓋を閉めたまま容器を持ち上げて中に溜まった汚れを廃棄すればきれいな水を多量に捨てることなく汚れを回収できる。【選択図】図１
