2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pill catcher generally has an outer blade having a large number of introduction holes for introducing pills and a pill which is rotated inside the outer blade to cut the pills introduced from the introduction hole. It is configured to have an inner blade. As a general characteristic of this conventional pill remover, there is a case where the pills, texture, and feet are removed at the same time when the pills are removed. This is because not only the pills are introduced into the introduction hole of the outer blade, but also the fluff and a part of the fabric are introduced, and it is particularly used when trying to remove the pills clinging to the fabric surface. This tendency is exacerbated because the person strongly presses the outer blade against the fabric.

[0003]

With respect to such a problem, a protective cap having a large number of introduction holes corresponding to the introduction holes formed in the outer blade as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-49191. It has been proposed to attach the to the outer blade and increase the distance from the fabric surface to the outer surface of the outer blade by the thickness of the protective cap, but the efficiency of introducing the pills a is poor and it is necessary to remove the pills. There was a problem that the time would be long.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and to provide a pill removing device which can improve the introduction efficiency of pills while leaving the fluff and texture and can remove pills quickly. It is what

Here, the end surface of the motor mounting base 13 that holds the top surface portion of the motor 9 is projected in a convex shape toward the storage chamber 14 side of the fan 11, and a recess 15 is formed in the peripheral portion, so that the portion where the motor 9 is present is formed. For the B dimension between the fan 11 and the motor mounting base 13, the C of the outer peripheral portion is
The size is larger than the size B, and the opening 16 at the entrance of the dust box 12 can be made as large as possible. That is, when there are structural restrictions from the positions of the dust box 12 and the inner blade 3, when the position of the motor 9 is raised to the plane shown by the arrow B in the figure as shown in FIG.
Although the width dimension of the opening 16 communicating with 2 becomes small, the dimension of the opening 16 between the storage chamber 14 and the dust box 12 does not change the position of the motor 9 by forming the recess 15 as described above. Is made as large as possible to eliminate the entanglement between the pills a and the fan 11 after being cut, and the opening to the dust box 12 can be efficiently formed. Here, it is conceivable to make the size of the opening 16 as large as possible by lowering the motor 9 to the position of the surface indicated by the arrow C in the figure without structurally changing it, but the size of the rotating shaft 10 becomes longer. The connecting portion between the motor mount 13 and the fan 11 becomes long, which causes eccentricity of the inner blade 3. Reference numeral 18 is a switch handle provided on the outer surface of the main body housing 7, and 19 is a battery cover detachably attached to the bottom of the main body housing 7.
