Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Conventionally, as a fishing lure, a structure in which a fitting (functional part) such as a snag-proof wire is attached to the main body of the fishing lure is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[0004] Patent Documents

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-174878. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] However, in the conventional fishing lures described in Patent Document 1, in many fishing lures in which functional parts can be attached and detached from the main body as needed, the attachment and detachment structures are complicated, such as the shape of the wire, etc., which further spoils the design, and thus there is room for improvement in this regard.

[0008] In addition, many attachment and detachment structures of fishing lures use connecting rings, and sometimes it is difficult to attach a fishing line or damage the fishing line due to the installation of functional parts.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a fishing lure in which functional parts can be easily attached and detached to and from the main body by a simple attachment and detachment structure, and which can suppress a reduction in design while maintaining the fishing line.

[0010] Means for Solving the Problems

[0011] (1) A first aspect of the fishing lure of the present invention is characterized in that the main body has a concave portion disposed more internally than an opening portion provided on the surface of the main body and wider than the opening width of the opening portion, and the functional part has an engaging portion that can elastically deform and can engage with the concave portion, and the engaging portion elastically deforms and passes through the opening portion and engages with the concave portion.

[0012] According to the first aspect of the fishing lure of the present invention, by a simple structure of elastically deforming the engaging portion, the engaging portion is detachably engaged with the concave portion via the opening portion, so that the functional part can be easily attached and detached to and from the main body as needed.

[0013] In addition, in the present invention, since the engaging portion of the functional part can be made into a simple structure that can elastically deform, a reduction in the design of the fishing lure can be suppressed.

[0014] In addition, in the present invention, since a loading and unloading structure is formed in which a functional part is engaged with a recess provided at a position different from the connecting ring, when the fishing line is tied to the connecting ring, the fishing line does not interfere with the functional part mounted on the main body, thereby preventing damage to the fishing line.

[0015] (2) Preferably, in the fishing lure of Mode 1 of the present invention, the functional part includes a linear member, at least a part of which has a bent portion, and the engaging portion includes a protruding portion that protrudes in a direction away from the bent portion. In a state where the engaging portion is engaged with the recess, the protruding portion is caught by a step surface formed between the recess and the opening portion.

[0016] In this case, when loading and unloading the functional part to and from the recess, by elastically deforming the bent linear members toward each other, the protruding portion can pass through the opening portion. The engaging portion at this time is a simple structure in which only the bent portion and the protruding portion are provided on the linear member.

[0017] (3) Preferably, in the fishing lure of Mode 2 of the present invention, the protruding portion is an externally fitted member that fits on the outside of the linear member.

[0018] In this case, the protruding portion can be formed by a simple structure in which an externally fitted member having a diameter larger than that of the linear member is fitted on the linear member. In this case, the externally fitted member is engaged with the step surface between the opening portion and the recess, so that the functional part can be mounted on the main body in a state where it cannot fall off.

[0019] (4) The feature of Mode 4 of the present invention may be that, in the fishing lure of Mode 2, the functional part is an anti-snagging wire, and the recess is provided on the lower surface of the main body.

[0020] In this case, the anti-snagging wire having a simple-structured engaging portion can be mounted on the lower surface of the main body, so that the anti-snagging wire can be provided at an appropriate position, thereby effectively preventing the fishing lure from snagging.

[0021] (5) The feature of Mode 5 of the present invention may be that, in the fishing lure of Mode 1, the opening portion is a slit extending in one direction.

[0022] In this case, since the deformation direction of the elastic deformation of the engaging portion can be set to one direction, the engaging portion can be made into a simple structure.

[0023] Effects of the Invention

[0024] According to the fishing lure of the present invention, the functional part can be easily loaded and unloaded from the main body through a simple loading and unloading structure, and while maintaining the fishing line, the reduction of the design appearance can be suppressed.

[0033] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the fishing lure of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that in each drawing, in order to make each component visible, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as needed.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the fishing lure 1 of the embodiment is taken as an example of a multi-joint fishing lure made of hard plastic and imitating the shape of a small fish for fishing.

[0035] Here, the direction in which the head and the tail of the fishing lure 1 are connected in a straight line is defined as the front-rear direction X1, the head side is defined as the front or the front side, and the tail side is defined as the rear or the rear side. In addition, the lateral direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X1 when observing from above is defined as the left-right direction X2, and the up-down direction when the fishing lure 1 is in a swimming posture is defined as the up-down direction X3, for the following description.

[0036] The fishing lure 1 is formed in a streamlined shape imitating a fish, and is integrally formed by joining the peripheral portions of a pair of main bodies 10 divided into two halves to each other by bonding or welding or the like. In the order from the front toward the rear, the head main body 10A having a head and the tail main body 10B having a tail of the main body 10 are each divided into two sections in the front-rear direction X1, and each of the main bodies 10A and 10B is provided so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. Each of the main bodies 10A and 10B forms a hollow portion.

[0037] It should be noted that the number of divisions of the fishing lure 1 in the front-rear direction X1 is not limited to being divided into two sections as in the present embodiment, but can be appropriately changed according to the use environment or the type of fish being fished, such as the entire fishing lure being formed as one body or being formed into three sections or the like.

[0038] In Figure 1 the left side of the paper surface is the head side, and the right side of the paper surface is the tail side. The fishing lure 1 is formed in a shape having the largest cross-section at the central portion (the connecting portion between the head main body 10A and the tail main body 10B) in the front-rear direction X1. That is, the fishing lure 1 is a shape that becomes thicker from the front end portion 10a toward the central portion and becomes thinner as it goes from the central portion toward the rear end portion 10b, and the whole forms a smooth curve.

[0039] The head main body 10A forms a shape imitating the substantially front half of a fish. A connecting ring 31 is provided at the front end portion 10a of the head main body 10A. The connecting ring 31 protrudes forward from the front end portion 10a of the head main body 10A. A first hook ring 32 for connecting a fishhook 35 for hooking a fish is provided on the lower surface 10c of the head main body 10A in a state of protruding downward.

[0040] It should be noted that the structure such as the position or the number of the connecting ring 31 and the first hook ring 32 can be appropriately changed according to the use environment or the like. In addition, the second hook ring 33 described later can also be changed.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the head main body 10A is connected to the tail main body 10B via a connecting portion 40 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2 with respect to the tail main body 10B. The head main body 10A includes a pair of connecting members 41, and the pair of connecting members 41 are connected to the tail main body 10B so as to be swingable with respect to the tail main body 10B.

[0042] The pair of connecting members 41 are arranged at intervals above and below the approximate center in the up-down direction X3 of the fishing lure 1 being clamped. The connecting members 41 are provided so as to be swingable with respect to the head main body 10A and the tail main body 10B respectively.

[0043] It should be noted that although a pair of upper and lower connecting members 41 are provided, the number is not particularly limited. For example, there may be one connecting member 41, or three or more connecting members 41 may be arranged in the up-and-down direction X3.

[0044] The connecting member 41 swingably supports the tail body 10B relative to the head body 10A in a posture that can be folded to the left and right sides. The connecting member 41 is made of, for example, stainless steel (SUS). The connecting member 41 is a long plate-shaped member and is rotatably supported by a swing shaft (not shown), and the swing shaft penetrates the thickness direction at both ends in the length direction of the connecting member and is provided on the front and rear main bodies 10A and 10B. That is, the connecting member 41 is arranged in a state where the length direction faces the front-rear direction X1 and the plane direction faces the plane direction orthogonal to the up-and-down direction X3.

[0045] The tail body 10B is formed in a shape that roughly mimics the rear half of a fish. The second hook ring 33 for connecting the fishhook 35 for hooking a fish is provided on the lower surface 10c of the tail body 10B in a state of protruding downward.

[0046] The tail body 10B is connected to the head body 10A via the connecting portion 40 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2 with respect to the head body 10A. The tail body 10B is supported by the above-described pair of upper and lower connecting members 41, and the pair of upper and lower connecting members 41 are connected to the head body 10A so as to be swingable with respect to the head body 10A. That is, the head body 10A and the tail body 10B share the connecting member 41.

[0047] In addition, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the front part 10d of the lower surface on the front end part 10a side of the head body 10A is provided with a detachable anti-snagging wire 50 (functional part).

[0048] An opening 11 opening downward is provided on the surface of the front part 10d of the lower surface of the head body 10A. The opening 11 is formed in a slit shape extending in the left-right direction X2. The opening 11 is arranged at a position on the head of the lure 1 that is more forward than the first hook ring 32. Thereby, the anti-snagging wire 50 can be arranged at a position more forward than the first hook ring 32, so that the snagging of the fishhook 35 (refer to Figure 1 ) can be effectively suppressed.

[0049] As Figure 5As shown, the inner side of the opening portion 11 has a recess 13 which communicates with the opening portion 11 and is wider than the opening width of the opening portion 11 (the width in the left - right direction X2) in the width direction (left - right direction X2). The recess 13 has a width capable of accommodating an outer fitting member 52 (described later) in a state where the anti - snagging wire 50 is not elastically deformed. A step surface 13a for engaging the outer fitting member 52 (described later) is formed between the recess 13 and the opening portion 11.

[0050] At the central portions in the longitudinal direction of the left and right edge portions of the opening portion 11, there are locking grooves 12 extending outward in the left - right direction X2. The width of the locking groove 12 (the length in the front - rear direction X1) is approximately the same as the diameter dimension of a wire 51 of the anti - snagging wire 50 (described later) and is narrower than the length of the opening portion 11 in the front - rear direction X1. The opening portion 11 and the pair of locking grooves 12 have a predetermined length from the surface of the front part 10d of the lower surface of the head main body 10A to the recess 13.

[0051] It should be noted that the shape or size of the opening portion 11, the locking groove 12, and the recess 13 can be appropriately changed in accordance with the shape of the anti - snagging wire 50.

[0052] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the anti - snagging wire 50 includes: a wire 51 (linear member) having a bent portion 53 bent in a U - shape at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction; and an outer fitting member 52 (engaging portion, protruding portion) which is externally fitted to the bent portion 53 of the wire 51 and can be engaged with the recess 13.

[0053] The wire 51 is, for example, a wire made of metal such as music wire. The wire 51 has a pair of wire main bodies 54A and 54B extending to both sides of the bent portion 53.

[0054] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the bent portion 53 is deformed in such a way that the width (the width in the left - right direction X2) becomes narrower by the elastic deformation of the wire 51. Figure 6 and Figure 7The symbol P shown indicates the deformation direction of the wire 51. The width dimension of the bent portion 53 (the width in the left-right direction X2) is set to the following width: in a state where the wire 51 is elastically deformed, the outer fitting member 52 covering the bent portion 53 can pass through the opening 11, and in a state where the anti-hanging bottom wire 50 is not elastically deformed, the outer fitting member 52 cannot pass through the opening 11. The bent portion 53 is set to be in a shape and size that can be accommodated in the opening 11 and the recess 13 and does not protrude to the outside of the head main body 10A in a state where the anti-hanging bottom wire 50 is attached to the head main body 10A. That is, the anti-hanging bottom wire 50 has a highly designed structure in which only a pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B can extend from the front part 10d of the lower surface of the head main body 10A.

[0055] In a posture where the bent portion 53 of the wire 51 faces upward, there are a bent portion 51a and a bent portion 51b between the bent portion 53 and the pair of left and right wire bodies 54A and 54B. That is, the bent portion 51a and the bent portion 51b are formed in pairs on both sides of the bent portion 53 while sandwiching it.

[0056] A pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B extend linearly obliquely downward from the bent portion 51a and the bent portion 51b respectively. Specifically, the pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B are arranged such that their interval extends in a gradually increasing manner as they go downward from the bent portion 51a and the bent portion 51b. That is, the pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B form an inverted V shape. And the wire 51 can be elastically deformed in a direction in which the pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B approach each other with the vertex 53a of the bent portion 53 as a base point. As Figure 1 shown, in this way, the pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B extending downward come into contact with the obstacles in the water before the fishing hook 35, so that it is possible to prevent the fishing hook 35 from contacting and hooking on the obstacles. In addition, it is also possible to prevent the main body 10 of the fishing lure 1 from contacting and hooking on the obstacles.

[0057] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the outer fitting member 52 is tubular and is fitted on the outside of the bent portion 53 of the wire 51. The inner diameter of the outer fitting member 52 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the wire 51. The outer fitting member 52 has a protruding end portion 52a that protrudes in a direction in which the wire bodies 54A and 54B are separated from each other in a state where the outer fitting member 52 is fitted on the bent portion 53. The outer fitting member 52 can pass through the opening 11 and enter the recess 13 through the elastic deformation of the wire 51. In a state where the outer fitting member 52 is accommodated in the recess 13, the protruding end portion 52a of the outer fitting member 52 is engaged with the stepped surface 13a, and the left and right wire bodies 54A and 54B are locked in the locking grooves 12. As Figure 8As shown, the bottom wire 50 is detachably fixed to the head body 10A by engaging the external fitting member 52 with the recess 13. Furthermore, the protruding end 52a of the external fitting member 52 is engaged with the step surface 13a of the recess 13, thereby preventing the bottom wire 50 from falling off from the recess 13.

[0058] The external fitting member 52 is preferably a member having elasticity (flexibility), for example. The external fitting member 52 has elasticity (flexibility), thereby eliminating the gap between the external fitting member 52 and the opening 11 or the recess 13 and suppressing the occurrence of looseness.

[0059] It should be noted that, when the bottom prevention wire 50 is replaced, the bottom prevention wire 50 is removed from the head body 10A. Figure 7 As shown, the wire 51 can be elastically deformed in a direction in which the pair of wire bodies 54A and 54B approach each other, and the external fitting member 52 can be passed through the opening 11 and removed to the outside of the head body 10A.

[0060] Next, based on Figures 1 to 8 , the effect of the lure 1 thus constructed will be described in detail.

[0061] In the lure 1 of this embodiment, a bottom-hanging prevention wire 50 is provided which can be attached and detached to the head body 10A. The head body 10A has a recess 13 which is arranged inside the opening 11 provided on the surface of the head body 10A and is wider than the opening width of the opening 11. The bottom-hanging prevention wire 50 has an external fitting component 52 which can be elastically deformed and can be engaged with the recess 13. The external fitting component 52 passes through the opening 11 and is engaged with the recess 13 by elastic deformation.

[0062] In this embodiment, the external fitting member 52 is removably engaged with the recessed portion 13 via the opening 11 by a simple structure in which the external fitting member 52 is elastically deformed, so that the bottom hanging prevention wire 50 can be easily attached to and detached from the head body 10A as needed.

[0063] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the external fitting member 52 of the bottom hook prevention wire 50 can be formed into a simple elastically deformable structure, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the design of the lure 1 .

[0064] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the loading and unloading structure is formed so that the bottom prevention wire 50 is engaged with the recessed portion 13 provided at a position different from the connecting ring 31, when the fishing line is tied to the connecting ring 31, the fishing line will not interfere with the bottom prevention wire 50 installed on the main body 10, thereby preventing damage to the fishing line.

[0065] In addition, in the present embodiment, the anti-snagging wire 50 includes a wire 51, and at least a part of the wire 51 has a bent portion 53. The externally fitted member 52 has a protruding end portion 52a that protrudes in a direction away from the bent portion 53. When the externally fitted member 52 is engaged with the concave portion 13, it is locked to the step surface 13a formed between the concave portion 13 and the opening portion 11.

[0066] With such a structure, when the anti-snagging wire 50 is loaded and unloaded to and from the concave portion 13, by elastically deforming the bent wires 51 toward each other in a direction approaching each other, the externally fitted member 52 can pass through the opening portion 11. The engaging portion at this time is a simple structure in which only the bent portion 53 is provided on the wire 51 and the externally fitted member 52.

[0067] In addition, in the present embodiment, the externally fitted member 52 is an externally fitted member 52 that is fitted to the outside of the wire 51.

[0068] With such a structure, a protruding portion can be formed by a simple structure in which the externally fitted member 52 having a diameter larger than that of the wire 51 is fitted to the wire 51. In this case, the externally fitted member 52 is engaged with the step surface 13a between the opening portion 11 and the concave portion 13, so that the anti-snagging wire 50 can be installed on the head main body 10A in a state where it cannot fall off.

[0069] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the functional part is the anti-snagging wire 50. The concave portion 13 is provided on the lower surface 10c of the head main body 10A.

[0070] With such a structure, the anti-snagging wire 50 having a simple structure of the externally fitted member 52 can be installed on the lower surface 10c of the head main body 10A, so that the anti-snagging wire 50 can be provided at an appropriate position, and thus the snagging of the fishing lure 1 can be effectively prevented.

[0071] In addition, in the present embodiment, the opening portion 11 is a slit extending in one direction.

[0072] Accordingly, since the deformation direction of the elastic deformation of the externally fitted member 52 can be made unidirectional, the externally fitted member 52 can be made into a simple structure.

[0073] In the fishing lure 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the anti-snagging wire 50 (functional part) can be easily loaded and unloaded to and from the head main body 10A through a simple loading and unloading structure, so that while maintaining the fishing line, a reduction in the design appearance can be suppressed.

[0074] As described above, the embodiments of the fishing lure of the present invention have been described. However, these embodiments are presented 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 gist of the invention. The embodiments or their modifications include, for example, ways that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art, ways that are substantially the same, and ways that are within the equivalent range, etc.

[0075] For example, in the above embodiment, the anti-snagging wire 50 is used as a functional part, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as other examples of functional parts, a counterweight, a light-emitting body, or a blade, etc. can be used.

[0076] Therefore, it is not limited to the anti-snagging wire 50 having the wire 51, the externally fitted member 52, and the bent portion 53 as in this embodiment.

[0077] In addition, in this embodiment, the structure is set such that the anti-snagging wire 50 is installed on the front part 10d of the lower surface of the head main body 10A, but the installation position is not limited to this position. That is, it is not limited to the head main body 10A. In short, as long as it is the main body 10.
