Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the swivel-equipped device disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, when fixing the swivel and the weight body, molten lead (lead alloy) constituting the weight body or an adhesive for fixing both may penetrate into the inside of the swivel, resulting in a manufacturing defect that inhibits the rotation of the protruding ring portion.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a swivel-equipped device and a swivel shaft part that do not cause manufacturing defects.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The swivel-equipped rig according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a swivel body that rotatably holds a fishing line connection portion having a ring portion to which a fishing line is connected; a fixing portion fixed to the swivel body at a position opposite to the fishing line connection portion of the swivel body so as to protrude from the swivel body; and a mounting body fixed to the fixing portion.

[0007] The swivel-equipped rig described above has a swivel body with a rotatable fishing line connector that includes a ring portion to which the fishing line is connected. A fixing portion is provided on the swivel body opposite the fishing line connector, and is fixed so as to protrude from the swivel body. Since the attachment is fixed to this portion, the adhesive used to fix the attachment, or the welding material (which may be a component of the attachment) used when welding the attachment to the fixing portion, is prevented from flowing into the swivel body. As a result, the rotation of the fishing line connector is not hindered, and the occurrence of manufacturing defects can be suppressed.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention can be applied as a swivel shaft part to which a mounting body is fixed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a swivel-equipped rig and a swivel shaft part can be obtained that are free from manufacturing defects. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 4] Cross-sectional view along line AA in Figure 3. [Figure 5] A cross-sectional view showing an example where the mounting element is integrally molded with the fixing part of the swivel body. [Figure 6](a) is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a fixing hole integrally formed in the mounting body, and (b) is a cross-sectional view showing another example of a fixing hole formed in the mounting body. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Below, one embodiment of a swivel-equipped rig will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5.

[0012] Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a swivel-equipped rig; Figure 2 is an exploded view of the swivel-equipped rig shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 shows the swivel portion; Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view along line AA in Figure 3; and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an example in which the attachment is integrally molded to the fixing part of the swivel body.

[0013] The swivel-equipped rig 1 of this embodiment comprises a swivel 10 and a mounting body 30 fixed to the swivel body 10A that constitutes the swivel 10, the mounting body 30 being fixed to a fixing part 20 provided on the swivel body 10A.

[0014] In this embodiment, a locking device (leader stopper) 40 is provided on the surface of the mounting body 30 so as to protrude, for example, to secure the leader of a fishing hook. This locking device 40 is provided at a position opposite to the position where the swivel 10 is attached, and is integrally provided with the mounting body 30 by adhesive, screwing, welding, etc. In addition to a leader stopper, such a locking device 40 may be a ring-shaped member that engages with a blade, hook, etc. Furthermore, the locking device 40 may be omitted.

[0015] The swivel body 10A is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and a fishing line connector 12, which has a ring portion 12a to which a fishing line is attached, is rotatably held at its top. Furthermore, a fixing portion 20 is provided on either side of the swivel body 10A, opposite the fishing line connector 12, so as to protrude from the swivel body 10A.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fishing line connection part 12 includes a shaft part 12b, and the tip thereof is curved annularly to form the ring part 12a. The ring part 12a may be composed of a single shaft part with the tip of the shaft part 12b curved annularly, or may be composed of two shaft parts with the middle part curved annularly.

[0017] The base end of the shaft part 12b constituting the fishing line connection part is accommodated in a housing part 11 formed inside the swivel body 10A, and the shaft part 12b projects outward through a communication hole 10a communicating with the outside from the housing part 11. The inner diameter of the communication hole 10a is formed larger than the outer diameter of the shaft part 12b so that the shaft part 12b can rotate around the axis.

[0018] A retaining part 12c that contacts the inner surface 11a on the fishing line connection part 12 side defining the housing part 11 is formed at the base end of the shaft part 12b. In this embodiment, the retaining part 12c is formed in a plate shape integrally formed in a direction orthogonal to the shaft part 12b, and the retaining part 12c is retained by contacting the inner surface 11a on the fishing line connection part 12 side of the housing part 11.

[0019] Note that the above-described housing part 11 is closed with respect to the outer surface of the swivel body 10A, and is configured so that the retaining part 12c is not exposed to the outside. <�

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting body 30 is fixed to the fixing part 20 of the swivel body 10A by inserting a fixing hole part 31 into the fixing part 20 of the swivel body 10A and filling the gap with an adhesive, a welding agent (including the constituent material of the mounting body) 50, etc. Since the fixing part 20 is provided so as to project from the swivel body 10A at a position facing the fishing line connection part 12 with the swivel body 10A interposed therebetween, even if the mounting body 30 is fixed to the fixing part 20, it is possible to suppress the adhesive, the welding agent 50, etc. from flowing into the swivel body (inside the housing part 11).

[0021] In other words, since adhesive or welding agent does not flow into the housing section 11 due to the inner surface 11b on the fixing section 20 side, it is possible to reduce the impact on the rotation of the fishing line connector section 12 and suppress the occurrence of manufacturing defects. In addition, since the retaining part 12c of the fishing line connector section is brought into contact with the inner surface of the housing section 11 (the retaining part 12c and the housing section 11 are made to be substantially the same shape and brought into contact), there is no rattling even when force is applied from the fishing line connector section 12, and the fishing line connector section 12 can be rotated smoothly around its axis.

[0022] Furthermore, the above-mentioned mounting body 30 can be constructed as a weight using a metal material such as tungsten or lead. In this case, the injection-molded body (mounting body) can be fixed to the fixing part 20 with an adhesive or welding agent 50 as shown in Figure 5, or the molten metal material can be directly fixed by welding using insert molding, casting, etc., as shown in Figure 6(a).

[0023] As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the fixing portion 20 can be integrally formed with the swivel body 10A as a rod-shaped member 20A that protrudes downward. The rod-shaped member 20A is preferably formed coaxially with the fishing line connection portion (shaft portion 12b) for strength considerations, and a stepped portion 18 is formed by the rod-shaped member 20A and the lower surface of the swivel body 10A.

[0024] A fixing hole 31 is formed at the top of the mounting body 30, for example, as shown in Figures 2 and 5. The fixing hole 31 in this embodiment has a large-diameter portion 31a that accommodates the swivel body 10A and a small-diameter portion 31b that accommodates the rod-shaped member 20A. These portions are formed to be larger than the swivel body 10A and the rod-shaped member 20A, and the gap between them is filled with adhesive or welding agent 50.

[0025] The swivel body 10A and the rod-shaped member 20A are housed in the fixing hole 31. In this case, the end of the swivel body 10A is in contact with the surface of the mounting body 30, or at least a part of it is inserted into the fixing hole 31, so the rod-shaped member 20A (fixing part 20) is not exposed, and the step (unevenness) between the mounting body 30 and the swivel body 10A is eliminated, thus preventing line troubles such as fishing line entanglement.

[0026] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6(b), the fixing hole 35 may be made larger in diameter, and the swivel body 10A may be press-fitted into this hole to secure it. In such a configuration, the swivel body 10A does not protrude, thus preventing line entanglement.

[0027] It is preferable to form an uneven structure (grooves and / or flanges) 22 along the axial direction on the surface of the rod-shaped member 20A. It is sufficient to have one or more such uneven structures 22, and with this configuration, the surface area of ​​the rod-shaped member 20A can be increased, and the adhesive strength to the mounting body can be improved. In particular, forming an uneven structure increases the adhesive (welding) strength of the rod-shaped member 20A, preventing the mounting body 30 from coming loose.

[0028] Furthermore, in the above configuration, as shown in Figure 4, the fishing line connection part 12 is closest to the mounting body. It is preferable that the base end P1 and the mounting body 30 fixed to the rod-shaped member 20A (the position P2 of the mounting body closest to the base end P1) are spaced apart. That is, although the two positions P1 and P2 may overlap slightly in the axial direction, by having a spaced-away positional relationship, it is possible to reliably prevent adhesive or glue from flowing into the swivel body 10A when fixing the mounting body 30 to the fixing part 20.

[0029] Furthermore, the aforementioned mounting body 30 can be configured not only as a weight but also as a float. For example, by forming the mounting body 30 from a resin material, a swivel-equipped rig can be used as a float, and the rotation around the axis of the mounting body 30 can be made smoother, reliably preventing line troubles such as tangles.

[0030] While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the swivel 10 of the swivel-equipped rig 1 described above can be configured as a swivel shaft part that constitutes the swivel-equipped rig 1. Furthermore, the fixing part 20 does not have to be configured as a rod-shaped member 20A, but may be configured as a simple projection, or may be formed in multiples, or may have a structure in which recesses are partially formed. Moreover, the uneven structure 22 is not limited to grooves as long as it increases the surface area of ​​the fixing part 20. [Explanation of symbols]
