Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the prior art, a lure is known which moves the center of gravity position by moving a spherical counterweight when casting (casting: flipping the rod) and after entering the water (see Patent Document 1). The counterweight is arranged inside the lure body of the lure so as to be movable in the front-rear direction of the lure. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Grant Gazette No. 2844045 Summary of the Invention [Technical Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] Generally, in a structure that moves the center of gravity position of a lure by moving a spherical counterweight, there are the following technical problems: the number of counterweights is about 1 to 3, and as the ball diameter of the counterweight increases, the center of gravity position of the lure becomes higher.

[0005] The technical problem of the present invention is to provide a lure that can suppress the increase in the center of gravity position of the lure in water. [Technical Solution for Solving the Technical Problem]

[0006] The lure according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a lure body, a first accommodating portion, a second accommodating portion, a connecting passage, and a plurality of counterweights. The lure body extends in the front-rear direction. The first accommodating portion is arranged inside the lure body. The second accommodating portion is arranged inside the lure body at a position forward of the first accommodating portion. The connecting passage connects the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion. The plurality of counterweights can move from the first accommodating portion to the second accommodating portion through the connecting passage. The plurality of counterweights include a first counterweight and a second counterweight. In a state where the plurality of counterweights are accommodated in the second accommodating portion, the second counterweight overlaps the first counterweight when viewed from the left-right direction.

[0007] In this fishing lure, when viewed from the left - right direction in a state where multiple counterweights are housed in the second housing portion, the first counterweight and the second counterweight overlap each other. Therefore, it is possible to increase the total number of the multiple counterweights housed in the second housing portion by reducing the ball diameters of the multiple counterweights. Accordingly, for example, even when the total weight of the multiple counterweights is the same as that of the prior art, it is possible to make the center - of - gravity position of the fishing lure lower than that of the prior art in a state where the multiple counterweights are housed in the second housing portion. As a result, it is possible to suppress the center - of - gravity position of the fishing lure from becoming higher in water. In addition, since it is possible to suppress the center - of - gravity position of the fishing lure from becoming higher, it is also possible to suppress the roll axis of the swimming vibration of the fishing lure to a lower level. Accordingly, when reeling in the fishing line, it is possible to expect a larger rolling motion of the fishing lure.

[0008] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the second housing portion of the fishing lure according to the second aspect of the present invention can house multiple counterweights in an arranged manner. In this case, it is possible to further increase the total number of the multiple counterweights housed in the second housing portion. Alternatively, it is possible to reduce the size of the second housing portion in the front - rear direction.

[0009] According to the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention, the fishing lure according to the third aspect of the present invention further has a lubricant for suppressing the friction between the multiple counterweights and the connection passage. In this case, the movement of the multiple counterweights in the connection passage becomes smooth.

[0010] According to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, the connection passage of the fishing lure according to the fourth aspect of the present invention includes a guiding portion that is disposed adjacent to the first housing portion and guides the movement of the multiple counterweights. The guiding portion includes an upper surface portion that slopes downward as it moves forward. In this case, when the multiple counterweights move from the first housing portion to the second housing portion, the movement of the multiple counterweights becomes smooth.

[0011] According to any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, the guiding portion of the fishing lure according to the fifth aspect of the present invention further includes a lower surface portion that is disposed below the upper surface portion and slopes upward as it moves forward. In this case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the multiple counterweights move from the first housing portion to the second housing portion against the intention of the angler.

[0012] According to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, the connection passage of the fishing lure according to the sixth aspect of the present invention includes a standing portion that is disposed adjacent to the second housing portion and guides the multiple counterweights upward. In this case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the multiple counterweights move from the second housing portion to the first housing portion against the intention of the angler.

[0013] According to any one of the first to sixth aspects of the present invention, the second housing portion of the fishing lure according to the seventh aspect of the present invention includes a top portion that restricts the upward movement of a plurality of weights. In this case, for example, the top portion can suppress the increase in the center of gravity position of the fishing lure in water. [Advantages of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing lure that can suppress the increase in the center of gravity position in water. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiment

[0016] Next, the fishing lure according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a left view of the fishing lure 1. As Figure 1 shown, the fishing lure 1 has a lure body 2, a line eye 3, front connecting hook rings 4, 5, and a rear connecting hook ring 6.

[0017] In addition, in the present specification, terms indicating directions such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", and "lower" mean that in the fishing lure 1, the direction in which the fishing lure 1 is pulled by the fishing line is defined as "front", the direction facing the water surface in the state where the fishing lure 1 travels forward in water is defined as "upper", and the direction facing the bottom of the water is defined as "lower". For example, in Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1

[0018] ​​​​​​​Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the fishing lure 1 cut by a plane orthogonal to the left-right direction. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the fishing lure 1 cut by a plane orthogonal to the up-down direction. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the fishing lure 1 cut by a plane orthogonal to the front-back direction.

[0019] The lure body 2 extends in the front-back direction. The lure body 2 is hollow and has an internal space. The lure body 2 is made of resin and is formed by joining two parts divided left and right to each other.

[0020] The lure body 2 includes a head 7, a tail 8, and a lip 9. The head 7 is disposed on the front side of the lure body 2. The tail 8 is disposed on the rear side of the lure body 2. The lip 9 is connected to the head 7. The lip 9 protrudes forward from the head 7. When viewed from the side, the lip 9 extends forward and downward from the lower part of the head 7. When the fishing lure 1 is towed by a fishing line and advances forward in water, the lip 9 bears the resistance of the water, whereby the fishing lure 1 is configured to assume a forward-tilted posture.

[0021] The wire loop 3, the front connecting hook loops 4, 5, and the rear connecting hook loop 6 are formed by bending a single metal wire. The wire loop 3, the front connecting hook loops 4, 5, and the rear connecting hook loop 6 protrude from the lure body 2. The wire loop 3 is connected to a fishing line (not shown).

[0022] The fishing lure 1 has a first accommodating portion 11, a second accommodating portion 12, a connecting passage 13, and a plurality of weights 14.

[0023] The first accommodating portion 11 can accommodate a plurality of weights 14. The first accommodating portion 11 is disposed inside the lure body 2. The first accommodating portion 11 is disposed inside the tail 8. The first accommodating portion 11 extends in the front-back direction. The first accommodating portion 11 is formed such that the dimension in the up-down direction becomes larger as it approaches the front.

[0024] The first accommodating portion 11 includes an upper surface portion 11a and a lower surface portion 11b. The upper surface portion 11a slopes upward as it approaches the front. The lower surface portion 11b is disposed below the upper surface portion 11a. The lower surface portion 11b slopes downward as it approaches the front.

[0025] The second accommodating portion 12 can accommodate a plurality of weights 14 in an arranged manner. The second accommodating portion 12 is disposed inside the lure body 2. The second accommodating portion 12 is disposed at a position more forward than the first accommodating portion 11. The second accommodating portion 12 is disposed inside the head 7. The second accommodating portion 12 is disposed above the front connecting hook loop 4. The second accommodating portion 12 extends in the front-back direction. The dimension of the second accommodating portion 12 in the up-down direction is smaller than the dimension of the first accommodating portion 11 in the up-down direction. The front end of the second accommodating portion 12 is formed such that the dimension in the left-right direction becomes smaller as it approaches the front.

[0026] The second accommodation part 12 includes a top part 12a and a bottom surface part 12b. The top part 12a restricts the upward movement of the plurality of counterweights 14. The top part 12a extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vertical direction. The top part 12a is disposed at a position lower than the upper surface part 11a of the first accommodation part 11. The bottom surface part 12b is disposed below the top part 12a. The bottom surface part 12b extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vertical direction. The bottom surface part 12b is substantially parallel to the top part 12a.

[0027] The connection passage 13 is disposed inside the lure body 2 between the first accommodation part 11 and the second accommodation part 12. The connection passage 13 connects the first accommodation part 11 and the second accommodation part 12. The connection passage 13 extends in the front - rear direction. The connection passage 13 is disposed above the front connecting hook ring 5.

[0028] The connection passage 13 includes a guiding part 21, a rising part 22, and an intermediate part 23. The guiding part 21 is disposed adjacent to the first accommodation part 11. The guiding part 21 extends in the front - rear direction. The guiding part 21 guides the movement of the plurality of counterweights 14. The guiding part 21 guides the movement of the plurality of counterweights 14 in the front - rear direction. The guiding part 21 is formed such that its dimension in the vertical direction becomes smaller as it approaches the front. The guiding part 21 is disposed above the front connecting hook ring 5.

[0029] The guiding part 21 includes an upper surface part 21a and a lower surface part 21b. The upper surface part 21a is connected to the upper surface part 11a of the first accommodation part 11. The upper surface part 21a inclines downward as it approaches the front. The lower surface part 21b is disposed below the upper surface part 21a. The lower surface part 21b is connected to the lower surface part 11b of the first accommodation part 11. The lower surface part 21b inclines upward as it approaches the front.

[0030] The rising part 22 is disposed adjacent to the second accommodation part 12. The rising part 22 extends in the vertical direction. The rising part 22 guides the plurality of counterweights 14 upward. Specifically, when the plurality of counterweights 14 move from the second accommodation part 12 to the first accommodation part 11, the rising part 22 guides the plurality of counterweights 14 upward.

[0031] The rising part 22 includes a front surface part 22a and a rear surface part 22b. The front surface part 22a is connected to the top part 12a. The front surface part 22a inclines upward and rearward from the rear end of the top part 12a. The rear surface part 22b is disposed at a position rearward of the front surface part 22a. The rear surface part 22b is connected to the bottom surface part 12b. The rear surface part 22b includes a first part extending upward from the rear end of the bottom surface part 12b and a second part inclining upward and rearward from the first part.

[0032] The middle part 23 is disposed between the guiding part 21 and the upright part 22. The middle part 23 is connected to the guiding part 21 and the upright part 22. The middle part 23 extends in the front-rear direction. The middle part 23 slopes upward as it approaches the front.

[0033] A plurality of counterweights 14 can move from the first accommodating part 11 to the second accommodating part 12 through the connecting passage 13. A plurality of counterweights 14 can move from the second accommodating part 12 to the first accommodating part 11 through the connecting passage 13. The plurality of counterweights 14 are spherical. The ball diameter of the plurality of counterweights 14 is set according to the shape of the fishing lure, for example.

[0034] Figure 5 This is a diagram for explaining the state in which a plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodating part 11. As Figure 5 shown, when casting, the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodating part 11 due to centrifugal force. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodating part 11, at least a part of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlap each other when viewed from the left-right direction. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodating part 11, at least a part of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlap each other when viewed from the up-down direction.

[0035] After casting, when the fishing lure 1 is towed by the fishing line and advances forward in the water, the lip 9 receives the resistance of the water and causes the fishing lure 1 to assume a forward-tilted posture, whereby the plurality of counterweights 14 move from the first accommodating part 11 to the second accommodating part 12 through the connecting passage 13.

[0036] In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating part 12, at least a part of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlap each other when viewed from the left-right direction. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating part 12, the plurality of counterweights 14 do not overlap each other when viewed from the up-down direction. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating part 12, each of the plurality of counterweights 14 can contact the bottom surface part 12b.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the total number of the plurality of counterweights 14 is 11. The plurality of counterweights 14 include a first counterweight 14a and a second counterweight 14b. The second counterweight 14b is adjacent to the first counterweight 14a in the left-right direction. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating part 12, the second counterweight 14b overlaps the first counterweight 14a when viewed from the left-right direction. In the state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating part 12, the second counterweight 14b and the first counterweight 14a are arranged in the left-right direction. As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a state where a plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, except for the third counterweight 14c at the forefront, the plurality of counterweights 14 are arranged in two rows in a straight line in the front-rear direction. In a state where a plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, when viewed from the left-right direction, the third counterweight 14c overlaps with the first counterweight 14a and the second counterweight 14b.

[0038] In a state where at least a part of the plurality of counterweights 14 housed in the first housing portion 11 is located above the plurality of counterweights 14 housed in the second housing portion 12. The center of gravity position of the fishing lure in a state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12 is located below the center of gravity position of the fishing lure in a state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the first housing portion 11. That is, in response to the movement of the plurality of counterweights 14 from the first housing portion 11 to the second housing portion 12, the center of gravity position of the fishing lure 1 moves downward.

[0039] In the fishing lure 1 having the above structure, in a state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, when viewed from the left-right direction, the first counterweight 14a and the second counterweight 14b overlap each other. Therefore, it is possible to increase the total number of the plurality of counterweights 14 housed in the second housing portion 12 by reducing the ball diameter of the plurality of counterweights 14. Accordingly, for example, even when the total weight of the plurality of counterweights 14 is the same as that in the prior art, it is possible to make the center of gravity position of the fishing lure 1 lower than the center of gravity position in the prior art in a state where the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12. As a result, it is possible to suppress the center of gravity position of the fishing lure 1 from becoming higher in water. In addition, since it is possible to suppress the situation where the center of gravity position of the fishing lure 1 becomes higher, it is also possible to suppress the roll axis of the swimming vibration of the fishing lure 1 to be lower. Accordingly, when reeling in the fishing line, a larger rolling motion of the fishing lure 1 can be expected.

[0040] <Other Embodiments> The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0041] The fishing lure 1 may further have a lubricating material for suppressing friction between the plurality of counterweights 14 and the connection passage 13. The lubricant is, for example, silicone oil and can be sealed inside the fishing lure body 2.

[0042] The total number of the plurality of counterweights 14 may also be changed. For example, the total number of the plurality of counterweights 14 may be changed according to the size of the ball diameter of the plurality of counterweights 14. The plurality of counterweights 14 may also be arranged in a staggered manner in the second housing portion 12.
