PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for solving problems on collecting buds of Aralia elata that in a common method a young bud of Aralia elata just started growing from the top of an Aralia elata wood is collected by folded and collected by a man, while the bud of the tree, which has grown big, becomes thick and tasty according to the growth of the Aralia elata tree and since the height increases, approaching and collecting the buds by human hand becomes hard, and consequently a hatchet or a saw is used many times to cut the stem for collecting the Aralia elata buds in a high place which results the trees wither and induces loss of Aralia elata resources.SOLUTION: There is provided an implement for collecting buds of Aralia elata at high place composed of a rod-like handle with a device for collecting buds of Aralia installed on the top end. The bud collecting device of Aralia elata is configured to fold and collect the bud by gripping the bud from lateral side with a clip 1 and turning in vertical direction (forward) by pulling an operating string 7 in hand, consequently collects the buds at high place without impairing the stem of the Aralia elata tree while maintaining the resources of the Aralia elata tree.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 タラの芽の一般的な採取方法は、タラの木の頂部から発芽し成長を始めた若芽を人の手により折り採る。タラの木は樹齢を重ねると、発芽するタラの芽は太く肉厚で、山菜として良質なものになる一方、樹高が高くなり、人の手が届かないために採取が困難になる。このような高所のタラの芽を採るために、鉈や鋸で幹を切断されるものが多く、これらは再び発芽することがなく枯死に至り、タラの木資源が失われる。【解決手段】 本発明は、高所のタラの芽を採取するために、棒状の柄の先に本タラの芽採り器をとりつけたものである。本タラの芽採り器は、手元で操作ひも7を引くことにより、タラの芽を横から掴んだはさみ1を縦方向(手前)に回転させて、タラの芽を折り採るものであり、タラの木の幹を傷つけずに、タラの木資源を維持しながら高所のタラの芽を採取できる。【選択図】図1
