Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the following lures are known as lures for fishing (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2): one of the multiple lure bodies divided in the front-to-back direction from the head side to the tail side can rotate a full circle (360°) in the circumferential direction. [Prior art literature] [Patent Document]

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 9-266737 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-87533 Summary of the invention [Technical problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] According to the existing artificial baits shown in patent documents 1 and 2, it is limited to attracting fish (luring fish) by generating bubbles and sounds in the water. On the other hand, depending on the different fish of the fishing target, for example, it is necessary to move the artificial bait in accordance with the tide to attract the fish, and there is room for improvement in this regard.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a lure that can perform a varied and appropriate fish-attracting action corresponding to a target fish for fishing. [Technical solutions for solving technical problems]

[0006] (1) A lure according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a first lure body, a shaft, a second lure body and a limiting portion, wherein the first lure body is arranged on the head side; the shaft extends from the first lure body to the tail side; the second lure body is supported around the shaft in a swingable manner; and the limiting portion is provided on at least one of the second lure body and the shaft to limit the swing angle of the second lure body.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the lure of the present invention, when the lure is made to swim, the second lure body swings relative to the first lure body within the range limited by the limiting portion. Specifically, the first lure body on the head side swings together with the shaft portion in accordance with the movement of the fishing line, and the second lure body separated from the first lure body swings in a phase different from that of the first lure body, so that the first lure body and the second lure body perform different movements. Moreover, as described above, since the first lure body and the second lure body are limited to a prescribed swinging range, a swinging movement can be achieved instead of rotating within a full range. According to this, fish luring that cannot be achieved by the prior art, such as applying a change to the vibration frequency of the lure itself in the swimming posture or the light contacting the lure, can be performed. In addition, in the present invention, the first and second lure bodies can perform different actions efficiently by the lure being affected by the foam belt, waves, or tides. Therefore, for example, the lure can be moved in accordance with the tides, and compared with the prior art where the lure simply floats in the water, it is possible to further achieve an action that attracts predatory fish.

[0008] (2) According to aspect 2 of the present invention, in the lure of aspect 1, it is preferred that the shaft portion is fixed to the first lure body.

[0009] In this case, since the shaft portion rotates simultaneously and integrally with the first lure body, the swing angle of the second lure body relative to the first lure body can be restricted.

[0010] (3) According to aspect 3 of the present invention, in the lure of aspect 1 or aspect 2, the restricting portion preferably has a convex portion and a concave portion, wherein the convex portion protrudes from the shaft portion, and the concave portion is formed in the second lure body to accommodate the convex portion.

[0011] In this case, the swing range of the convex portion provided on the shaft portion can be set by the concave portion formed on the second lure body. Therefore, the swing range can be easily set, and the action corresponding to the shape of the lure body can be easily realized.

[0012] (4) A fourth aspect of the present invention may be the lure according to the third aspect, wherein the recessed portion is an opening that penetrates through the second lure body.

[0013] In this case, since the thickness of the outer wall of the second lure body is used as the restriction portion, the space inside the lure body can be used more effectively than when the restriction portion is provided inside the second lure body. In addition, in the present invention, since the shaft and the restriction portion can be reached from the outside of the lure through the opening, the shaft and the restriction portion can be maintained and the swing range can be adjusted from the outside of the lure.

[0014] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention may be the lure of the third or fourth aspect, wherein the recess is provided at a lower portion of the second lure body.

[0015] In this case, since the shaft portion and the restriction portion can be disposed at the lower portion of the second lure body, a larger space for imparting buoyancy can be provided at the upper portion of the second lure body.

[0016] (6) A sixth aspect of the present invention may be the lure of any one of aspects 1 to 5, wherein the second lure body has a hole through which the shaft portion is coaxially inserted and for retaining the shaft portion.

[0017] In this case, since the shaft portion can be held in a swingable manner by the hole portion, it is possible to suppress the shaking of the shaft portion, realize stable swinging, and easily design a lure that can achieve a desired movement.

[0018] (7) A seventh aspect of the present invention may be the lure of any one of the first to sixth aspects, further comprising a third lure body fixed to the shaft portion at the tail side of the second lure body.

[0019] In this case, when the lure is made to swim, the second lure body rotates in a relatively swinging manner with the first lure body and the third lure body within the rotation range limited by the limiting portion. Specifically, the second lure body separated from the first lure body and the third lure body rotates slower than the first lure body and the third lure body by the first lure body and the action of the fishing line being consistent with each other, thereby making the second lure body perform a different action from the first lure body and the third lure body, thereby generating bubbles or sounds in the water to efficiently attract fish (lure fish).

[0020] (8) Aspect 8 of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of aspect 7, at least one lure body is further provided between the second lure body and the third lure body.

[0021] In this case, since a plurality of intermediate lure bodies including the second lure body are provided between the first lure body and the third lure body, the plurality of intermediate lure bodies can further realize complex movements (attraction) of the lure. For example, the plurality of intermediate lure bodies may be configured such that intermediate lure bodies that can swing relative to the shaft and intermediate lure bodies that are fixed are alternately arranged, or the plurality of intermediate lure bodies that can swing have different swing angles. [Effects of the invention]

[0022] According to the artificial bait of the present invention, it is possible to perform a varied and appropriate fish attracting action corresponding to the target fish for fishing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments of the artificial bait according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in the drawings, in order to make each component a size that can be visually observed, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as needed.

[0025] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the lure 1 of the embodiment is used as a fishing tool, and an lure having a body portion made of hard plastic and imitating the shape of a small fish is taken as an example.

[0026] Here, in the artificial bait 1, the direction in which the head and the tail are connected in a straight line is defined as the front-back direction X1, the head side is defined as the front and the front side, and the tail side is defined as the back and the rear side. In addition, when viewed from above, the lateral direction orthogonal to the front-back direction X1 is defined as the left-right direction X2, and the up-down direction when the artificial bait 1 is in a swimming posture is defined as the up-down direction X3, and the following description is given.

[0027] The lure 1 is formed into a streamlined shape simulating a fish, and is formed integrally by bonding or welding the peripheral edge portions 10d of a pair of split lure bodies 10. The lure body 10 is divided into three parts, namely, a head lure body 10A (first lure body), a trunk lure body 10B (second lure body), and a tail lure body 10C (third lure body) in the front-to-back direction X1 from the front to the back, and each lure body is arranged to swing freely in the left-right direction X2. Each lure body 10A, 10B, 10C forms a hollow portion 100A, 100B, 100C, respectively.

[0028] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, the left side of the paper is the head side, and the right side of the paper is the tail side. The lure 1 is formed in a shape that makes the cross section of the central part (the connecting part of the head lure body 10A and the trunk lure body 10B) in the front-back direction X1 the largest. That is, the lure 1 is formed in a shape that becomes thicker from the front end 10a to the central part, and becomes thinner at the top as it moves from the central part to the rear end 10b, forming a smooth curve as a whole. The head lure body 10A is provided on the head side, and is formed in a shape that simulates the front half of a fish.

[0029] The lure 1 has a swing shaft 20 (shaft), which extends from the head lure body 10A to the tail side and is fixed to the tail lure body 10C. The swing shaft 20 has a circular cross section and extends in the front-back direction X1 inside the lure body 10. The front end 20a of the swing shaft 20 is fixed to the head lure body 10A in a non-rotatable manner, and the rear end 20b is fixed to the tail lure body 10C in a non-rotatable manner. The trunk lure body 10B is supported around the swing shaft 20 in a swingable manner.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lure 1 has a restriction portion 30 for restricting the swing angle θ of the trunk lure body 10B. The restriction portion 30 includes an opening 31 formed in the trunk lure body 10B described later and a convex portion 32 provided on the swing shaft portion 20.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, at the rear of the head lure body 10A, a first shaft hole 11 for accommodating the front end portion 20a of the swing shaft portion 20 is formed. The cross section of the first shaft hole 11 is circular, and is formed extending forward from the rear wall 10e of the head lure body 10A. On the left and right sides of the first shaft hole 11, a first locking rib (not shown) protruding radially inward is provided. The protruding end of the first locking rib forms a straight line portion extending in the up-down direction X3. The inner diameter of the first shaft hole 11 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the swing shaft portion 20. The front end portion 20a of the swing shaft portion 20 is engaged with the first shaft hole 11 without a gap.

[0032] A second axial hole 13 is formed at the front portion of the tail lure body 10C to accommodate the rear end portion 20b of the swing shaft portion 20. The second axial hole 13 has a circular cross section and is formed to extend rearward from the front wall 10f of the tail lure body 10C. Second retaining ribs (not shown) protruding radially inward are provided on the left and right sides of the second axial hole 13. The protruding end of the second retaining rib forms a straight portion extending in the up-down direction X3. The inner diameter of the second axial hole 13 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the swing shaft portion 20. The rear end portion 20b of the swing shaft portion 20 is engaged with the second axial hole 13 without a gap. The tail lure body 10C and the swing shaft portion 20 are integrally provided with the head lure body 10A.

[0033] The trunk lure body 10B has a cylindrical body 15 penetrating in the front-rear direction X1 at a substantially central portion of the cross section (see Figure 5 The cylindrical body 15 has a hole 15A. The inner diameter of the hole 15A is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the swing shaft 20. The hole 15A holds the swing shaft 20 in a state where the swing shaft 20 is coaxially inserted therethrough so as to be relatively swingable.

[0034] In the trunk lure body 10B, a hollow portion 100B is formed in the upper portion of the cylinder 5. Since the cylinder 15 is provided below the center in the up-down direction X3 of the trunk lure body 10B, a large space can be ensured for the hollow portion 100B.

[0035] An opening 31 (recess, restriction) penetrating the outer wall of the trunk lure body 10B is provided at the lower portion 10c, which is approximately in the center in the front-back direction X1, of the outer wall of the trunk lure body 10B. The opening 31 is rectangular in a plan view. Here, the lower portion 10c of the trunk lure body 10B refers to a portion of the trunk lure body 10B that is lower than the outermost peripheral portion in the left-right direction X2.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when viewed from the front-rear direction X1 of the opening 31, the swing limiting surfaces 31a and 31b of the left and right inner side surfaces intersecting the circumferential direction rotating around the axis of the swing shaft portion 20 form inclined surfaces that gradually extend outward in the left-right direction X2 as they approach downward. That is, the width of the opening 31 in the left-right direction X2 becomes wider as it approaches downward. In the opening 31, a convex portion 32 provided on the swing shaft portion 20 described later is accommodated in a manner that allows it to swing within a predetermined swing range R.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a first locking groove 22 is formed at the front end portion 20a of the swing shaft portion 20, and the first locking groove is locked with a first locking rib of a first shaft hole 11 formed in the head lure body 10A. A second locking groove 23 is formed at the rear end portion 20b of the swing shaft portion 20, and the second locking groove is locked with a second locking rib of a second shaft hole 13 formed in the tail lure body 10C. In this way, the swing shaft portion 20 is fixed to the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C in a non-rotatable manner by the first locking groove 22 and the second locking groove 23 being locked with the first locking rib and the second locking rib respectively.

[0038] like Figure 2 to Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the swing shaft portion 20 has a convex portion 32 (restriction portion) protruding downward. The convex portion 32 is arranged in a state of being accommodated inside the opening portion 31. Figure 6 As shown, the convex portion 32 is limited in a swing range R (swing angle θ) by a pair of swing limiting surfaces 31a and 31b of the opening portion 31. The swing range R is a range between a position where the first side surface 32a of the convex portion 32 abuts against the first swing limiting surface 31a and a position where the second side surface 32b of the convex portion 32 abuts against the second swing limiting surface 31b.

[0039] Next, the operation of the artificial bait 1 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The lure 1 of this embodiment includes a head lure body 10A, a swing shaft 20, a trunk lure body 10B, and a limiting portion 30, wherein the head lure body is arranged on the head side; the swing shaft extends from the head lure body 10A to the tail side; the trunk lure body is supported around the swing shaft 20 in a swingable manner; and the limiting portion is provided on the trunk lure body 10B and the swing shaft 20 to limit the swing angle θ of the trunk lure body 10B.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, when the lure 1 is made to swim, the trunk lure body 10B swings relative to the head lure body 10A within the range limited by the limiting part 30. Specifically, the head lure body 10A on the head side swings together with the swing shaft part 20 in accordance with the movement of the fishing line, and the trunk lure body 10B separated from the head lure body 10A swings in a different phase from the head lure body 10A, so that the head lure body 10A and the trunk lure body 10B perform different movements. In addition, as described above, since the head lure body 10A and the trunk lure body 10B are limited to a predetermined swing range R, a swinging movement can be achieved instead of rotating within a full range. According to this, it is possible to attract the light of the lure 1 or the lure itself in a swimming posture, which cannot be achieved by the prior art, such as applying a change to the vibration frequency of the lure itself.

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the head lure body 10A and the trunk lure body 10B can perform different actions efficiently by the lure 1 being affected by the white foam belt, waves, and tides. Therefore, for example, the lure 1 can be moved in accordance with the tides, and compared with the action of simply floating in the water in the prior art, the action of attracting predatory fish can be further achieved.

[0042] In this embodiment, the swing shaft 20 is fixed to the head lure body 10A. Therefore, the swing shaft 20 and the head lure body 10A rotate together, thereby limiting the swing angle θ of the trunk lure body 10B relative to the head lure body 10A.

[0043] In addition, in the present embodiment, the restricting portion 30 includes a convex portion 32 and an opening portion 31, the convex portion protruding from the swing shaft portion 20; and the opening portion is formed in the trunk lure body 10B for receiving the convex portion 32. With such a configuration, the swing range R of the convex portion 32 provided on the swing shaft portion 20 can be set by the opening portion 31 formed in the trunk lure body 10B. Therefore, the swing range R can be easily set, and an action corresponding to the shape of the lure body 10 can be easily realized.

[0044] In this embodiment, the opening 31 passes through the trunk lure body 10B. Thus, since the thickness of the outer wall of the trunk lure body 10B is used as the restriction 30, the space inside the lure body 10 can be effectively used compared to the case where the restriction is provided inside the trunk lure body 10B. In addition, in this embodiment, since the swing shaft 20 and the restricting portion 30 can be reached from the outside of the lure through the opening 31, the swing shaft 20 and the restricting portion 30 can be maintained and the swing range R can be adjusted from the outside of the lure.

[0045] In this embodiment, the opening 31 is provided at the lower part of the trunk lure body 10B. Thus, the swing shaft 20 and the restricting part 30 can be arranged at the lower part of the trunk lure body 10B, so that a larger space (hollow part 100B) for imparting buoyancy can be provided at the upper part of the trunk lure body 10B.

[0046] In addition, in the present embodiment, the trunk lure body 10B has an opening 31 through which the swing shaft 20 is coaxially inserted and used to hold the swing shaft 20. According to this, since the swing shaft 20 can be held in a swingable manner through the opening 31, the swinging of the swing shaft 20 can be suppressed, and stable swinging can be achieved, making it easy to design the lure 1 to achieve a desired action.

[0047] In addition, in this embodiment, the tail lure body 10C is fixed to the swing shaft 20 at the tail side of the trunk lure body 10B. According to this, when the lure 1 is made to swim, the trunk lure body 10B and the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C are rotated in a relatively swinging manner within the rotation range limited by the restriction part 30. Specifically, the head lure body 10A rotates together with the tail lure body 10C and the swing shaft 20 in accordance with the movement of the fishing line, and the trunk lure body 10B divided from the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C rotates slower than the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C, so that the trunk lure body 10B and the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C perform different movements, thereby generating bubbles or sounds in the water to attract fish efficiently.

[0048] With the lure 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to perform a suitable fish attracting action rich in variations corresponding to the target fish for fishing.

[0049] The embodiments of the artificial bait of the present invention are described above, but these embodiments are provided as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In the embodiments or their variations, for example, the embodiments that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art and that are substantially the same or equivalent in scope are included.

[0050] For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the lure body 10 is divided into three parts in the front-back direction X1, and has a head lure body 10A, a trunk lure body 10B, and a tail lure body 10C, but the division is not limited to this. For example, the second lure body may be formed by integrating the trunk lure body 10B and the tail lure body 10C, and the lure may be composed of only the first lure body as the head lure body 10A and the second lure body. In this case, a shaft portion extending from the first lure body to the tail side is provided, and the second lure body is supported around the shaft portion in a swingable manner, and a limiting portion for limiting the swing angle of the second lure body is provided on the shaft portion.

[0051] In addition, at least one lure body may be provided between the trunk lure body 10B and the tail lure body 10C. In this way, since a plurality of intermediate lure bodies including the trunk lure body 10B are provided between the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C, the lure can further achieve complex movements (attraction) by the plurality of intermediate lure bodies. For example, the plurality of intermediate lure bodies may be configured such that intermediate lure bodies that can swing relative to the swing shaft 20 and fixed intermediate lure bodies are alternately arranged, or the plurality of swingable intermediate lure bodies may have different swing angles.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the swing shaft 20 is fixed to the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C, but the swing shaft 20 may be rotatably supported by at least one of the head lure body 10A and the tail lure body 10C.

[0053] Moreover, the limiting part 30 of the present embodiment is configured to have a structure including a convex part 32 and an opening part 31 (concave part), wherein the convex part protrudes from the swing shaft part 20 (shaft part); and the opening part is formed in the trunk lure body 10B (second lure body) for accommodating the convex part 32, but the present invention is not limited to such a structure. For example, the limiting part 30 may be provided in at least one of the second lure body and the shaft part.

[0054] In addition, the structure of the restricting portion is not limited to the structure composed of the opening 31 and the convex portion 32 as in the present embodiment. For example, the opening 31 may not penetrate the outer wall of the second lure body, but may be a bottomed concave portion formed on the inner surface of the outer wall of the second lure body, and the convex portion may be accommodated in the concave portion so as to be able to swing at a predetermined swing angle θ. In addition, a convex portion protruding inward may be provided on the second lure body side, and the convex portion may be accommodated in the shaft portion so as to be swingable at a predetermined swing angle θ. Furthermore, the opening 31 (recessed portion) is provided at the lower portion of the second lure body in the present embodiment, but may be provided at other positions such as the upper portion of the second lure body.

[0055] In addition, the structure of the limiting portion is not limited to the structure that mechanically sets the swing angle θ, and for example, a structure that limits the swing range by using a magnet can also be adopted. In this case, for example, a magnetic body can be arranged on a part of the circumference of the shaft portion, and a magnet can be installed at the end of the swing range on the inner surface of the second lure body, thereby setting the predetermined swing angle θ.

[0056] In addition, as the structure of the trunk lure body 10B of this embodiment, the following structure is set: a cylindrical body 15 extending in the front-back direction X1 is provided, and the swing shaft portion 20 is coaxially inserted through the cylindrical body 15 to be held, and a structure is set to form a large hollow portion 100B above the cylindrical body 15, but it is not limited to this. For example, a structure in which the swing shaft portion 20 is rotatably supported by a ring member instead of the cylindrical body 15 may also be used.
