Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, since the light-emitting member is attached to the outside of the body, the light-emitting member becomes a resistance to the swimming of the lure in water. In Patent Document 2, since the light-emitting member is provided inside the body, it does not become a resistance to the swimming of the lure, but a space for providing the light-emitting member is required inside the body. Therefore, the space for providing functional mechanisms such as a rocking body, a rattle, and a moving weight inside the lure becomes small. In the above technologies, there is room for improvement in providing an insertion member such as a light-emitting member in the lure without degrading the function of the lure and attracting the target organism to be captured.

[0005] One of the objects of this disclosure is to provide a lure that can preferably attract the target organism to be captured.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A lure according to a first aspect of this disclosure comprises a body. The body is configured to have a hollow portion. The body is configured to transmit light in at least a portion thereof. A first hole is formed in the body. An insertion member is inserted into the first hole in a direction intersecting the virtual center plane of the body in the left-right direction.

[0007] The first side of the lure reduces the influence of the insertable member on the lure's swimming motion when the insertable member is inserted. The lure can reduce the volume required to insert the insertable member within its body. Therefore, when the lure is equipped with functional mechanisms such as a swaying body, rattle, and moving weight, the space required for these mechanisms can be minimized. The lure can effectively attract target organisms.

[0008] The lure on the second side, following the first side, comprises a rocking body. The rocking body is housed in a hollow section and is configured to be rockably connected to the body. The rocking body has a reflective surface that reflects light.

[0009] The second aspect of the lure allows for the insertion of an insertable member into the body, thereby preventing a reduction in the area of ​​the oscillating body having a reflective surface. The lure can increase the amount of light reflected by the reflective surface of the oscillating body. As a result, the lure can effectively attract target organisms. For example, when a light-emitting member is inserted into the first hole, the lure can direct the light emitted by the light-emitting member from a direction nearly perpendicular to the reflective surface. As a result, the lure can allow the light emitted by the light-emitting member and reflected by the reflective surface to travel a long distance, attracting target organisms that are far away. The lure can reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting member over a wide angle. As a result, the lure can attract target organisms over a wide area with the reflected light from the reflective surface.

[0010] In a lure with a third side conforming to a second side, a second hole is formed in the oscillating body. The second hole penetrates the reflective surface, and an insertion member is inserted through it.

[0011] According to the third side of the lure, for example, by inserting the light-emitting member into the second hole, the light-emitting member can be positioned close to the reflective surface of the oscillating body. The lure can increase the intensity of the light from the light-emitting member reflected by the reflective surface of the oscillating body. Therefore, the lure can effectively attract target organisms with the reflected light from the reflective surface. If the amplitude of the oscillating body becomes excessively large, the lure can suppress the amplitude of the oscillating body by having the oscillating body come into contact with the insertion member.

[0012] In a lure with a fourth side conforming to a third side, the body comprises a cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion communicates with a first hole and is inserted into a second hole. An insertion member is inserted into the cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion is configured to transmit light in at least a portion of it.

[0013] The fourth lure allows the oscillation of the oscillating body to be suppressed when it becomes excessively large by contacting the cylindrical portion of the lure. The cylindrical portion of the lure prevents contact between the insertion member and the oscillating body. Therefore, the lure can prevent deterioration of the insertion member due to the oscillation of the oscillating body. In addition, the lure can prevent light transmission from being obstructed by the cylindrical portion. Therefore, the lure can effectively attract target organisms with the light from the light-emitting member and the reflected light from the reflective surface.

[0014] In a lure with a fifth side conforming to any one of the first to fourth sides, the body comprises a cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion communicates with a first hole. An insertable member is inserted into the cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion is located within a hollow section and is configured to transmit light in at least a portion thereof.

[0015] According to the fifth side view of the lure, the cylindrical portion can guide the inserting member when the angler attaches it to the body. Therefore, the angler can easily attach the inserting member to the body. In addition, the lure can prevent light transmission from being obstructed by the cylindrical portion.

[0016] In a lure with a sixth side following a fourth or fifth side, the body comprises a first body and a second body. The second body is joined to the first body. The first body comprises a cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion comprises a positioning portion. The positioning portion engages with the second body and determines the position of the tip of the cylindrical portion relative to the second body.

[0017] The sixth side of the lure allows the position of the cylindrical part relative to the second body to be fixed. If the inserting member is inserted into the cylindrical part of the first body while it is misaligned relative to the second body, the angler may not be able to attach the inserting member accurately. The lure prevents the cylindrical part of the first body from shifting relative to the second body by fixing the position of the cylindrical part of the first body relative to the second body. Therefore, the angler can accurately attach the inserting member to the lure.

[0018] In a lure with a seventh side conforming to any one of the first to sixth sides, the first hole is formed at both ends of the body so that the insertion member penetrates the body.

[0019] According to the lure on the seventh side, the angler can easily attach and detach the insertion member from the lure.

[0020] In a lure with an eighth side conforming to any one of the first to seventh sides, the insertion member is a fish-attracting member.

[0021] According to the eighth side of the lure, the angler can easily attach the fish attracting member to the lure by inserting the fish attracting member into the first hole.

[0022] A luer on the ninth side that conforms to any one of the first to eighth sides is provided with a sealing member. The sealing member seals the first hole.

[0023] According to the lure on the ninth side, the sealing material prevents water from entering the body. Therefore, the lure can be made less prone to malfunctions.

[0024] In the lure of the tenth side according to the ninth side, the sealing member supports the insertion member.

[0025] According to the lure of the tenth side, the sealing member can suppress the movement of the insertion member with respect to the lure. The lure can suppress the insertion member from coming off the lure.

[0026] In the lure of the eleventh side according to the ninth or tenth side, a third hole is formed in the sealing member. The insertion member is inserted into the third hole. The sealing member is configured to be in close contact with the insertion member.

[0027] According to the lure of the eleventh side, it is possible to suppress water from entering the body between the sealing member and the insertion member. Therefore, the lure can suppress the occurrence of malfunctions.

[0028] In the lure of the twelfth side according to any one of the ninth to eleventh sides, at least a part of the sealing member is configured to transmit light.

[0029] According to the lure of the twelfth side, it is possible to suppress the sealing member from preventing the transmission of the light emitted by the light-emitting member and the light reflected by the reflecting surface of the swing body. Therefore, the lure can preferably attract the target organism by the light of the light-emitting member and the reflected light by the reflecting surface.

[0030] In the lure of the thirteenth side according to the second side, the first hole is formed so that the insertion member is disposed in the hollow portion avoiding the swing body.

[0031] According to the lure of the thirteenth side, the degree of freedom in the mounting position of the insertion member with respect to the body can be increased.

[0032] In the lure of the fourteenth side according to any one of the first to thirteenth sides, the first hole has an opening communicating with the outside in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the insertion member.

[0033] According to the 14th side of the lure, for example, when an insertable member is pushed into the first hole, the body deforms so that the opening becomes larger, allowing the angler to easily attach the insertable member. The insertable member inserted into the first hole is held by the body forming the first hole. Therefore, the lure can prevent the insertable member from coming out of the first hole. For example, when a luminescent member is inserted into the first hole, the lure can directly emit some of the light emitted by the luminescent member to the outside through the opening. Therefore, the lure can effectively attract target organisms with the light emitted by the luminescent member.

[0034] In a lure having a 15th side conforming to any one of the 1st to 14th sides, the body includes a reflective portion. The reflective portion is provided on at least a portion of the inner wall surface forming a hollow portion and is capable of specular reflection of light. The reflective portion is formed in an uneven shape.

[0035] The lure on the 15th side can suitably attract target organisms by specularly reflecting light. For example, when a light-emitting member is inserted into the first hole, the lure can suitably attract target organisms by reflecting the light emitted by the light-emitting member with the reflective part. For example, when a oscillating body is housed in the hollow part, the lure can suitably attract target organisms by reflecting the light reflected by the oscillating body with the reflective part.

[0036] In the lure of the 16th side following the 15th side, a reflective film is formed on the surface of the reflective part.

[0037] According to the 16th side of the lure, even if the reflective part has an uneven shape, a reflective part capable of specular reflection of light can be easily provided by forming a reflective film on the surface of the reflective part. [Effects of the Invention]

[0038] The lure of this disclosure can suitably attract target organisms. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

When viewed from the second body 22 side, the first chamber 26b is approximately L-shaped. The second chamber 26c is formed in the second recess 26 further rear than the first chamber 26b. The partition wall 38 is connected to the first shaft portion 34. The partition wall 38 also functions as a reinforcing wall to increase the strength of the first shaft portion 34.

[0056] The reinforcing wall 40 is provided in the second recess 26. The reinforcing wall 40 is configured to protrude from the right side surface 26a of the second recess 26 toward the second body 22 (see Figure 1). The reinforcing wall 40 is connected to the second shaft portion 36. The reinforcing wall 40 increases the strength of the second shaft portion 36.

[0057] The first body 20 includes a joint surface 20b. The joint surface 20b is formed at least along the periphery of the second recess 26.

[0058] As shown in Figure 4, the second body 22 has a first recess 44, a second recess 46, and a third recess 48. Each of the recesses 44 to 48 is formed to curve inward from the first body 20 (see Figure 1) towards the left.

[0059] The first recess 44 is formed in the second body 22 on the front end side. A part of the annular member 6 (see Figure 2) is placed in the first recess 44.

[0062] A hole 50 (first hole) is formed in the second body 22. As shown in Figure 3, the hole 50 is formed in the left side wall 22a of the second body 22. Specifically, the hole 50 is formed in the side wall 22a that forms the second recess 46. The hole 50 is formed so that the insertion member 14 is inserted in a direction intersecting the reflective surface 10a of the oscillating body 10. In other words, the hole 50 is formed so that the insertion member 14 is inserted in a direction intersecting the virtual central plane C of the body in the left-right direction. For example, the hole 50 is formed so that the insertion member 14 is inserted in the left-right direction. The hole 50 is formed to penetrate the side wall 22a in the left-right direction. The hole 50 is configured such that the central axis P1 of the hole 30 in the first body 20 and the central axis P3 of the hole 50 coincide.

[0066] The support wall 56 is provided in the second recess 46. The support wall 56 is configured to protrude from the left side surface 46a of the second recess 46 toward the first body 20 (see Figure 1). The support wall 56 is configured to face the reinforcing wall 40 (see Figure 2) of the first body 20. A notch 56a is formed in the support wall 56. The second shaft portion 36 (see Figure 2) of the first body 20 is inserted into the notch 56a.

[0067] The second body 22 includes a joint surface 22b. The joint surface 22b is formed at least along the periphery of the second recess 46.

[0068] The first body 20 and the second body 22 are joined to each other by welding. For example, the first body 20 and the second body 22 are joined to each other by ultrasonic welding. The first body 20 and the second body 22 are joined to each other at the joining surfaces 20b (see Figure 2) and 22b (see Figure 4). As the joining surfaces 20b and 22b are joined to each other, the second recess 26 of the first body 20 and the second recess 46 of the second body 22 form a hollow portion 60, as shown in Figure 3.

[0069] In the hollow section 60, the first chambers 26b and 46b, partitioned by partition walls 38 and 54, house a weight 16 for balancing the posture of the lure 2. The first chambers 26b and 46b also house multiple rattle balls 18 that produce sound upon impact. For example, two rattle balls 18 are housed in the first chambers 26b and 46b. The number of rattle balls 18 is not limited to this; three or more rattle balls 18 may be housed in the first chambers 26b and 46b. The diameter of the rattle balls 13 is changed according to the number of rattle balls 13 housed in the first chambers 26b and 46b. In the hollow section 60, the second chambers 26c and 46c, partitioned by partition walls 38 and 54, house the oscillating body 10.

[0070] The annular member 6 is attached to the body 4, as shown in Figure 1. The annular member 6 is configured to which a fishing line is attached. The annular member 6 is made of metal.

[0071] The hook portion 8 is attached to the body 4. The hook portion 8 is made of metal. The hook portion 8 has multiple needles 8a. The needles 8a are positioned outside the body 4. The hook portion 8 is formed so that the needle tips face forward.

[0072] The oscillating body 10 is housed in a hollow section 60, as shown in Figure 3. Specifically, the oscillating body 10 is housed in a hollow section 60 formed by the second chamber 26c of the first body 20 and the second chamber 46c of the second body 22. The oscillating body 10 is plate-shaped. The oscillating body 10 extends in the front-rear direction. The oscillating body 10 has a reflective surface 10a. The reflective surface 10a reflects light. The reflective surface 10a may be configured to specularly reflect light. The reflective surface 10a is provided on both sides in the left-right direction. The oscillating body 10 is configured to be pivotably connected to the body 4. The oscillating body 10 is connected to the first body 20 by a first spring 62 and a second spring 64, as shown in Figure 2.

[0073] The first spring 62 connects the front end of the oscillating body 10 to the first shaft portion 34 of the first body 20. The movement of the first spring 62 in the left-right direction is restricted by the partition wall 38 of the first body 20 and the partition wall 54 (see Figure 4) of the second body 22. The second spring 64 connects the rear end of the oscillating body 10 to the second shaft portion 36 of the first body 20. The movement of the second spring 64 in the left-right direction is restricted by the reinforcing wall 40 of the first body 20 and the support wall 56 (see Figure 4) of the second body 22.

[0074] A hole 10b (second hole) is formed in the oscillating body 10. The hole 10b penetrates the reflective surface 10a. Specifically, the hole 10b penetrates the oscillating body 10 in the left-right direction. The cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 are inserted through the hole 10b. As shown in Figure 3, the diameter of the hole 10b is larger than the diameters of the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22. The hole 10b is, for example, circular. The shape of the hole 10b is not limited to a circle. When the oscillating body 10 is stationary, the hole 10b and the cylindrical portions 32 and 52 are formed so that the inner edge of the hole 10b does not come into contact with the cylindrical portions 32 and 52. If the amplitude of the oscillating body 10 is excessively large, the inner edge of the hole 10b will come into contact with the cylindrical portions 32 and 52. This suppresses the amplitude of the oscillating body 10.

[0075] The insertion member 14 is inserted through the hole 10b of the oscillating body 10. Specifically, the insertion member 14 is inserted into the hole 10b by inserting it into the cylindrical portions 32 and 52.

[0076] The sealing member 12 is inserted into the hole 30 of the first body 20 and the hole 50 of the second body 22, respectively. The sealing member 12 is an elastic body. The sealing member 12 is made of rubber, resin, or the like. The sealing member 12 is configured to transmit light in at least a portion of it. For example, the sealing member 12 is made of transparent or translucent resin. Here, the sealing member 12 inserted into the hole 30 of the first body 20 will be described as an example. The sealing member 12 inserted into the hole 50 of the second body 22 is the same as the sealing member 12 inserted into the hole 30 of the first body 20.

[0077] The sealing member 12 is pressed into the hole 30 of the first body 20. The sealing member 12 is configured to be in close contact with the first body 20 in which the hole 30 is formed. A hole 12a (third hole) is formed in the sealing member 12. The sealing member 12 is formed in a ring shape. An insertion member 14 is inserted into the hole 12a. Specifically, the insertion member 14 is pressed into the hole 12a. The sealing member 12 is configured to be in close contact with the insertion member 14. The sealing member 12 seals the hole 30. Specifically, the sealing member 12 seals the hole 30 when the insertion member 14 is inserted. The sealing member 12 prevents water from entering the first body 20. The sealing member 12 prevents water from entering the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20.

[0078] The insertion member 14 is a rod-shaped member. The insertion member 14 is a fish-attracting member. For example, the insertion member 14 is a light-emitting member. The light-emitting member includes phosphors and LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). The insertion member 14 is detachable from the lure 2. The insertion member 14 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22. Both ends of the insertion member 14 in the left-right direction are inserted into the holes 12a of the sealing member 12. The insertion member 14 is supported by the sealing member 12.

[0079] Lure 2 can also be used without inserting the insertion member 14 into the cylindrical portions 32 and 52. In this case, a sealing member without hole 12a is inserted into holes 30 and 50.

[0080] The light emitted by the insertion member 14 passes through the body 4 and is emitted to the outside of the lure 2. The light emitted by the insertion member 14 is reflected by the reflective surface 10a of the oscillating body 10. The light reflected by the reflective surface 10a passes through the body 4 and is emitted to the outside of the lure 2.

[0081] The insertion member 14 is not limited to a light-emitting member, but may be, for example, a blade, a fish attractant dispensing member, a rattle, or a worm. The fish attractant dispensing member may be, for example, a water-soluble solid containing a fish attractant. The fish attractant dispensing member may also be a capsule containing a fish attractant. The capsule may have, for example, holes. The capsule is configured so that the fish attractant dissolves into the water through the holes. The capsule may also be water-soluble. If the tip of the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the tip of the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 are, for example, bonded together to prevent water from entering, the holes 30 and 50 do not need to be sealed.

[0082] In lure 2, as shown in Figure 5, the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 may be configured to engage with each other. For example, the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 has a protrusion 32a. The protrusion 32a is provided at the tip on the second body 22 side. The protrusion 32a projects toward the second body 22 side. The cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 has a recess 52a at the tip on the first body 20 side. When the first body 20 and the second body 22 are joined, the protrusion 32a of the first body 20 is inserted into the recess 52a of the second body 22. The cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 engages with the second body 22 by the protrusion 32a. The protrusion 32a of the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 engages with the second body 22 and is a positioning portion that determines the tip position of the cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 relative to the second body 22.

[0083] Lure 2 may have a cylindrical portion in either the first body 20 or the second body 22. For example, as shown in Figure 6, Lure 2 may have a cylindrical portion 70 only in the first body 20. The second body 22 has a recess 72 into which the tip of the cylindrical portion 70 is inserted. The tip of the cylindrical portion 70 of the first body 20 is a positioning portion that determines the position of the tip of the cylindrical portion 70 of the first body 20 relative to the second body 22. Note that if the tip of the cylindrical portion 70 and the recess 72 are bonded together with an adhesive or the like to maintain waterproofness, the sealing member 12 (see Figure 3) may not be necessary, as shown in Figure 6. In other words, if water ingress into the hollow portion 60 is prevented, the sealing member 12 may not be necessary.

[0084] The lure 2 may have a hole formed in either the first body 20 or the second body 22. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the hole 30 is formed only in the first body 20. The left end of the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 is closed.

[0085] As shown in Figure 8, the lure 2 does not necessarily have a cylindrical portion. An insertion member 14 is inserted through the hole 10b of the oscillating body 10. The size of the hole 10b is smaller than when a cylindrical portion is provided. That is, the area of ​​the reflective surface 10a of the oscillating body 10 is larger than when a cylindrical portion is provided. As shown in Figure 8, a weight 74 may be attached to the lower part of the oscillating body 10 to adjust the period and time of the oscillating body 10. The weight 74 is attached to the oscillating body 10 by, for example, being locked into a notch or hole formed in the oscillating body 10 and being wound around the oscillating body 10.

[0086] As shown in Figure 9, the first body 20 has a hole 30 and the second body 22 has a hole 50 formed such that the insertion member 14 is positioned in the hollow portion 60, avoiding the oscillating body 10. The cylindrical portion 32 of the first body 20 and the cylindrical portion 52 of the second body 22 are also formed so that the insertion member 14 is positioned in the hollow portion 60, avoiding the oscillating body 10. For example, the holes 30, 50 and the cylindrical portions 32, 52 are formed so that the insertion member 14 is positioned below the oscillating body 10. A projection 76 is inserted through the hole 10b of the oscillating body 10. The projection 76 is configured to protrude, for example, from the right side surface 26a of the first body 20 toward the second body 22.

[0087] As shown in Figure 10, the lure 2 may have an opening 78a in the hole 78 (first hole) formed in the body 4. The hole 78 does not communicate with the hollow portion 60 of the body 4. The opening 78a communicates with the outside in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the insertion member 14. For example, the opening 78a is formed so that the lower side of the hole 78 communicates with the outside. That is, the hole 78 is formed to form a roughly C-shaped notch when viewed from the left and right directions. The insertion member 14 is inserted, for example, by being pushed into the hole 78.

[0088] Lure 2 does not necessarily have a oscillating body 10 in the hollow section 60. In this case, the insertion member 14 is inserted into the cylindrical sections 32 and 52 that communicate with the first holes 30 and 50. For example, if the insertion member 14 is a light-emitting member, Lure 2 emits the light emitted by the insertion member 14 through the body 4 to the outside of Lure 2.

[0089] Lure 2 may include a reflective portion 80, as shown in Figures 11 and 12. The reflective portion 80 is provided on at least a portion of the inner wall surface 60a that forms the hollow portion 60 of body 4. The reflective portion 80 is provided on the inner wall surface 20c of the first body 20 and the inner wall surface 22c of the second body 22. The reflective portion 80 is formed in an uneven shape. For example, the reflective portion 80 is formed in the shape of a square pyramid. The reflective portion 80 is not limited to a square pyramid, but may be formed in the shape of a triangular pyramid, a cone, or a sphere. The reflective portion 80 is formed to be recessed toward the outside of body 4. The reflective portion 80 may be formed to protrude toward the inside of body 4. The reflective portion 80 may be a V-shaped groove or the like. The reflective portion 80 may be formed on the outer circumferential walls of cylindrical portions 32 and 52.

[0090] The reflective portion 80 is configured to be capable of specular reflection of light. The reflective portion 80 transmits a portion of the incident light and reflects a portion of the light. For example, if the insertion member 14 is a light-emitting member, the reflective portion 80 specularly reflects a portion of the light emitted by the insertion member 14. The reflective portion 80 specularly reflects a portion of the light reflected by the oscillating body 10. The reflective portion 80 specularly reflects a portion of the light from the outside. A reflective film is formed on the surface of the reflective portion 80. The reflective portion 80 may also be formed by processing its surface. The lure 2 may not include the oscillating body 10, but may include the reflective portion 80.

[0091] As used herein, the expression "at least one" means "one or more" of the desired options. For example, as used herein, "at least one" means "only one option" or "both of the two options" if there are two options. As another example, as used herein, "at least one" means "only one option" or "a combination of two or more arbitrary options" if there are three or more options. The embodiments and variations described above can be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of Symbols]
