AI Technical Summary
The existing fish hooks have a large distance between the hook point and the fish's mouth during the swallowing process, resulting in a low probability that the hook point will enter the fish's mouth and reducing the success rate of catching fish.
By adding a counterweight to the fishhook, the center of gravity of the fishhook is adjusted so that the hook point faces upwards during the fish's swallowing process, reducing the distance between the hook point and the fish's mouth and increasing the probability of the hook point entering the fish's mouth.
This increases the probability of the hook point entering the fish's mouth during the feeding process, improving the success rate of hooking fish and strengthening the connection between the hook point and the fish's mouth, thus reducing the probability of the fish escaping.

Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of fishing gear, and in particular to a fishhook with optimized center of gravity. Background Technology
[0002] When a fish takes the bait, it doesn't swallow the hook with bait all at once. Instead, it first tries to suck in the bait and then gradually swallows it. These gradual swallowing steps usually only take a few bites. Therefore, the hook needs to be sucked into the fish's mouth during the gradual swallowing process.
[0003] Fishhooks in existing technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, when fishing, the float on the fishing line floats on the water surface, and the hook is placed horizontally on the bottom. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the plane containing the central axis of the fishhook tends to be parallel to the bottom surface, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when a fish begins to bite, the medium in the water carries the hook towards the point where the fish is sucking in the water. The aforementioned "point where the fish is sucking in the water" should be understood as the location of the fish's mouth. It should be understood that there is a certain distance between the fish's mouth and the bottom. When the fish begins to suck, there is also a certain distance between the hook, which is at the bottom, and the fish's mouth. This results in a relatively large distance between the hook point and the fish's mouth. During the intervals between the fish sucking in the water, the hook slowly descends under the influence of gravity, and during this descent, as... Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the hook point and the fish's mouth is always relatively far, which reduces the probability of the hook entering the fish's mouth during the feeding process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a fishhook with optimized center of gravity. The embodiments of this application optimize the position of the fishhook's center of gravity, adjust the fishhook's movement posture during the fish's feeding process, and make the hook tip more likely to face upwards during the fish's feeding process. This reduces the distance between the hook tip and the fish's mouth, thereby increasing the probability that the hook tip will enter the fish's mouth during the fish's sucking process and improving the probability of catching a fish.
[0005] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A fishhook with optimized center of gravity includes a hook shank, a hook bend, and a hook point. The hook shank and hook point are respectively fixed to both ends of the hook bend, and the hook point is located on one side of the hook shank. The hook shank has a counterweight at the end away from the hook bend, and a connector at the end away from the hook body. The counterweight extends to the side away from the hook point to form an extension, and the center of gravity of the counterweight is located in the area of the extension.
[0007] Optionally, the extension includes a bend formed by bending the counterweight toward the side away from the hook tip, the bend angle of the bend opening toward the hook tip, and the bend point of the bend located on the side of the counterweight away from the hook tip.
[0008] Optionally, there are several bends, and the connection point between two adjacent bends is located in the area where the extension is located.
[0009] Optionally, when the counterweight and hook shank are cut off with the central axis of the hook shank as the reference line and two sets of planes perpendicular to the reference line respectively, the mass of the cut hook shank is less than the mass of the cut counterweight. Each set of planes has two planes that are perpendicular to the reference line. The distance between the two planes in each set of planes is equal. Both planes that cut off the counterweight pass through the counterweight, and both planes that cut off the hook shank pass through the hook shank.
[0010] Optionally, the central axes of the hook shank, hook bend, and hook point are located in the same plane.
[0011] Optionally, the central axis of the connector is located in the plane containing the central axes of the hook shank and the hook bend.
[0012] Optionally, the central axis of the counterweight is in the same plane as the central axis of the hook handle and the hook bend.
[0013] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] This application embodiment optimizes the position of the fishhook's center of gravity and adjusts the fishhook's movement posture during the fish's feeding process. This increases the probability that the hook tip will face upwards during the fish's feeding process, reduces the distance between the hook tip and the fish's mouth, and thus increases the probability that the hook tip will enter the fish's mouth during the fish's sucking process, thereby increasing the probability of catching a fish.

[0035] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] This application provides a fishhook with optimized center of gravity, such as... Figure 7As shown, it includes a hook shank 11, a hook bend 12, and a hook tip 13. The hook shank 11 and the hook tip 13 are respectively fixed to both ends of the hook bend 12. The hook shank 11, the hook bend 12, and the hook tip 13 can be formed by bending a single metal bar. After the hook bend 12 is bent, the central axis of the hook shank 11 and the hook tip 13 at both ends of the hook bend 12 is located on both sides of the hook bend 12, that is, the hook tip 13 is located on one side of the hook shank 11.
[0037] The central axes of the hook shank 11 and the hook bend 12 are located in the same plane. The end of the hook shank 11 away from the hook bend 12 has a counterweight 14. With the hook tip 13 as a reference point, the hook shank 11 and the counterweight 14 are both located on the same side of the hook tip 13. The end of the counterweight 14 away from the hook body has a connector 15. Both the connector 15 and the hook shank 11 can be used to tie the fishing line. The counterweight 14 extends to the side away from the hook tip 13 to form an extension 16. The center of gravity of the counterweight 14 is located in the area where the extension 16 is located.
[0038] The following section will provide further details based on specific usage scenarios.
[0039] It should be understood that both the hook shank 11 and the connector 15 in the fishhook body can be used to tie the fishing line. In this embodiment, the connector 15 is used as the fishing line tying point as an example. Of course, using the hook shank 11 as the fishing line tying point is also applicable to the application scenarios shown in this embodiment.
[0040] In use, the operator ties the fishing line to connector 15 to form a complete fishing rig, then places the bait on the hook bend 12 and hook point 13 and casts into the water. The hook sinks to the bottom. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0041] like Figure 10 As shown, there is a certain distance between the fish's mouth and the bottom-sinking hook. When the fish initially takes the bite, the hook moves towards the fish's mouth along with the underwater medium, such as... Figure 11As shown, there are two directions of movement for the fishhook at this time. One is that the entire fishhook moves upward and leaves the bottom of the water. The other is that the hook tip 13 and hook bend 12 first move towards the direction of the fish's sucking, and the entire fishhook tilts upward. After the fish's mouth briefly stops sucking, the fishhook in the prior art will basically maintain its upward posture and fall. However, in this embodiment, since there is a counterweight 14 on the side where the hook shank 11 is located, and the center of gravity of the counterweight 14 is shifted away from the hook tip 13, taking the hook bend 12 as a reference, and defining the positions of the two ends of the hook bend 12 as the two sides of the fishhook, the center of gravity of the fishhook provided in this embodiment is concentrated on the side of the fishhook away from the hook tip 13. Specifically, it is concentrated on the part of the fishhook away from the hook tip 13 and hook bend 12. Thus, no matter which posture the fishhook moves upward in, the fishhook provided in this embodiment will always adjust its position according to the position of its center of gravity during the fall, as limited by the position of its center of gravity. Figure 12 As shown, the position adjustment of the fishhook during its descent includes a rotational motion *m* around the axis of the hook shank 11, and a rotational motion *v* centered on the side of the fishhook furthest from the hook point 13. Through the combination of these two motions, the fishhook provided in this embodiment always falls around its center of gravity. From the perspective of the fishhook's descent posture, referring to... Figure 13 The hook tip 13 is always facing upwards, while the hook shank 11 and counterweight 14 are facing downwards. With the hook bend 12 as a reference point, the end of the hook bend 12 with the hook shank 11 and counterweight 14 is facing downwards, and the end of the hook bend 12 with the hook tip 13 is facing upwards. The hook bend 12 does not fall with its central axis parallel to the bottom of the water. It should be noted that the hook tip 13 facing upwards is based on the bottom of the water as a reference point. Based on a fixed reference point, the position of the hook tip 13 is considered to be facing upwards if it is higher than the position of the end of the hook bend 12 away from the hook tip 13.
[0042] It can be observed that the hook tip 13 of the fishhook provided in this embodiment always faces upward when it falls. In this way, during the interval when the fish is sucking the bait, the hook tip 13 is always facing the fish's mouth, which reduces the distance between the hook tip 13 and the fish's mouth during the interval when the fish is sucking the bait. Thus, when the fish opens its mouth again to suck the bait, the hook tip 13 can quickly enter the fish's mouth, increasing the probability that the hook tip 13 will enter the fish's mouth during the fish's sucking.
[0043] It can also be observed that in this embodiment, the hook tip 13 always faces upwards, and it remains upwards during the process of the fish re-nibbling. It should be understood that in the prior art, the structural strength of the line assembly is generally sufficient. After a fish is hooked, the point with the weakest connection strength in the entire connection chain between the fish and the line assembly is actually the connection point between the hook and the fish's mouth. This is generally because the hook enters the fish's mouth laterally, and when the angler pulls, the hook tip 13 pierces the corner of the fish's mouth or lower lip. The skin at the corner of the fish's mouth and lower lip is thin, and the hook is prone to detach from the fish's mouth under the angler's pull and the fish's struggle. However, in this embodiment, the hook tip 13 always faces upwards, so when the angler pulls, the hook tip 13 is more likely to pierce the upper palate of the fish's mouth, thereby increasing the connection strength between the hook tip 13 and the fish and reducing the probability of the fish escaping.
[0044] In summary, the embodiments of this application optimize the position of the fishhook's center of gravity and adjust the fishhook's movement posture during the fish's feeding process. This increases the probability that the hook tip 13 will face upwards during the fish's feeding process, reduces the distance between the hook tip 13 and the fish's mouth, thereby increasing the probability that the hook tip 13 will enter the fish's mouth during the fish's sucking process and improving the probability of catching a fish.
[0045] In this embodiment, the counterweight 14 extends away from the hook tip 13 to form an extension 16, thereby placing the center of gravity of the counterweight 14 within the area of the extension 16. This area of the extension 16 should not be narrowly interpreted as the entire extension 16, but rather as the space occupied by the extension 16, both inside and outside, with a certain volume. The center of gravity can be located outside the extension 16. It is important to note that the extension 14 extending away from the hook tip 13 to form the extension 16 should be understood as a region, such as... Figure 14-16 As shown, the position of the extension 16 of the counterweight 14 can be adjusted during production as needed.
[0046] There are many ways to ensure that the center of gravity of the counterweight 14 is located within the area of the extension 16. In this embodiment, the center of gravity of the counterweight 14 and the hook as a whole can be shifted by fixing a counterweight piece to the side of the counterweight 14 away from the hook tip 13. The aforementioned fixing method can be welding the counterweight piece to the counterweight 14, or it can be achieved by directional upsetting the counterweight 14 in a direction away from the hook tip 13. Of course, this embodiment also provides a simpler method, in which the extension 16 includes a bent portion 17 formed by bending the counterweight 14 in a direction away from the hook tip 13, with the bend angle opening of the bent portion 17 facing the hook tip 13. The bending point of the bending part 17 is located on the side of the counterweight 14 away from the hook tip 13. The counterweight 14, hook shank 11, hook bend 12 and hook tip 13 can be integrally formed by bending a metal strip. The bending point of the aforementioned bending part 17 is the bending point required for the bending part 17 itself to bend, rather than the bending point connecting the bending part 17 with the hook shank 11 and the connector 15. The bending part 17 is formed by bending the counterweight 14, which simplifies the production steps, reduces the production cost, and enables the center of gravity of the fishhook to shift. At the same time, the deformation caused by the bending of the bending part 17 allows the hook shank 11 to serve as the connection point for the knot, making it more flexible for the operator to use the fishhook.
[0047] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the bending angle of the bent portion 17 can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it can also be as follows Figure 17 As shown, there are no strict requirements on the distance and bending angle of the bending portion 17, and there can be several bending portions 17, such as... Figure 18 As shown, the connection point between two adjacent bends 17 is located in the area where the extension 16 is located. The multiple bends 17 can be achieved in production by bending multiple times or by extruding them in one go using a fixed mold. The multiple bends 17 can more accurately control the specific position of the center of gravity. Furthermore, the multiple bends 17 also facilitate the operator's unhooking operation after the fish is hooked.
[0048] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 19 As shown, when the counterweight 14 and the hook 11 are cut off with the central axis of the hook shank 11 as the reference line and two sets of planes perpendicular to the reference line, the mass of the cut-off hook shank 11 is less than the mass of the cut-off counterweight 14. The cut-off counterweight 14 and the hook shank 11 are as follows: Figure 19 As shown in the shaded area, each group of planes has two planes that are both perpendicular to the baseline, such as... Figure 19As shown in the cutting plane diagram, the distance h between the two planes in each group of planes is equal. Both planes cutting the counterweight 14 pass through the counterweight 14, and both planes cutting the hook shank 11 pass through the hook shank 11. That is, the ends of the cut counterweight 14 and the cut hook shank 11 are coplanar with the cutting plane. Each group of planes only cuts the counterweight 14 or the hook shank. The connection position between the counterweight 14 and other components of the fishhook is not within the group of cutting planes. The same applies to the hook shank 11. Specifically, each group of cutting planes fully cuts the counterweight 14 and the hook shank 11. The resulting portions of the hook shank 11 and the counterweight 14 have unequal masses. The mass of the cut counterweight 14 is greater than the mass of the cut hook shank 11. This increases the weight ratio of the counterweight 14, making it easier to control the specific position of the center of gravity.
[0049] In some possible implementations of this application, the central axes of the hook shank 11, hook bend 12, and hook tip 13 are located in the same plane, which makes the fishhook easier to manufacture as a whole. During the sinking process, the hook tip 13 can be closer to the fish's mouth to suck in the bait. On this basis, the central axis of the connector 15 is located in the plane where the central axes of the hook shank 11 and hook bend 12 are located. In this way, while making the fishhook easier to manufacture as a whole, it also makes subsequent fishing line tangling easier.
[0050] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the central axis of the counterweight 14 is in the same plane as the central axis of the hook shank 11 and the hook bend 12. In this way, while making the fish hook easier to manufacture as a whole, the offset rate of the center of gravity of the counterweight 14 can be further increased, and the hook tip 13 can be closer to the fish's mouth for sucking food during the process of the fish hook falling.
[0051] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
