[0004] Non-patent literature

[0005] Non-patent document 1: “DAIWA: Fish Pliers 240C-Website, (retrieved on February 2, 2024), Internet (URL: https: / / www.daiwa.com / jp / product / zdlpava)”. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] Fishing tool boxes are sometimes rinsed with water after the pliers are removed to remove fish blood or mucus that has dripped from the pliers. However, rinsing with water can be difficult to clean the interior of the fishing tool box. This same problem also exists with fishing tool boxes that store elongated fishing tools other than pliers.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing tool box that can be used cleanly.

[0009] Means used to solve problems

[0010] The fishing tool box of the present invention is mounted on the clothes of the angler for use, and can store slender fishing tools with their length directions along the vertical direction of the fishing tool box. The fishing tool box comprises: a front portion, which is used to be arranged on the opposite side of the clothes relative to the fishing tools; a bottom portion, which is used to be arranged on the front end side of the fishing tools; and a back portion, which is used to be arranged on one side of the clothes. The front portion comprises: a front cover portion, which covers the front end portion of the fishing tools; and a middle cover portion, which covers the middle portion of the fishing tools. The portion of the front portion except for the front cover portion and the middle cover portion is open to the front side.

[0011] According to this structure, since most of the box is open to the front side, it is easy to take out the fishing tool from the box and clean the inside of the box.

[0012] Furthermore, in the fishing tool box, the front end covering portion may have a dimension from the front end toward the base end of 10 mm to 30 mm.

[0013] According to the above configuration, since the front end cover is not deep, a user such as a fisherman can easily insert his fingers or a brush into the interior of the front end cover to clean the interior of the front end cover.

[0014] In addition, in the fishing tool box, the back portion has: a plate-shaped back portion main body; and a hook portion, which is connected to the back portion main body and can be fixed by hooking it to the outside of the box, and the back portion main body has a through window that penetrates the back portion main body in the thickness direction, and the hook portion is exposed through the through window when viewed from the front.

[0015] According to this configuration, since the hook portion can be pressed from the front side of the case, the hook portion can be easily released from the state in which it is hooked to the outside of the case.

[0016] Effects of the Invention

[0017] As described above, according to the present invention, a fishing tool box that can be used cleanly can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 2 is a perspective view of a single fishing tool box as viewed from the front side;

[0020] Figure 3 is a perspective view of a single fishing tool box as viewed from the back side;

[0021] Figure 4 It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a single fishing tool box. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Below, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a fishing tool box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 As shown, the fishing tool box 1 can accommodate an elongated fishing tool G when in use with its longitudinal direction along the vertical direction of the fishing tool box 1 .

[0023] In this embodiment, a fishing tool box 1 houses pliers G, which are used to hold fish, serving as a fishing tool G. The pliers G include a clamping portion G1 for holding the fish, a gripping portion G2 for the angler to grip, and a fulcrum G3 that serves as the fulcrum for the opening and closing of the clamping portion G1. The clamping portion G1 is biased in the opening direction. Furthermore, corner portions G4 are provided on both side surfaces of the clamping portion G1. The corner portions G4 are stepped portions formed on the side surfaces of the clamping portion G1. It should be noted that the box 1 houses an elongated fishing tool serving as the fishing tool G, and may also house, for example, a spearfishing spear used for spearing fish.

[0024] The fishing tackle box 1 is attached to the angler's clothing C. For example, the clothing C is a belt worn through the angler's pants. It should be noted that the fishing tackle box 1 can be attached to the front pocket of the angler's jacket or pants, in addition to the belt. Furthermore, the fishing tackle box 1 can be attached to other locations, such as a pocket on the side of a cooler.

[0025] The fishing tool box 1 includes a front portion 2 for placement on the side of the garment C opposite to the pliers G; a bottom portion 3 for placement on the front end side of the pliers G; and a back portion 4 for placement on one side of the garment C. The fishing tool box 1 also includes a side portion 5 for placement on the side of the pliers G.

[0026] In the box 1, the bottom portion 3 extends between the front edge of the front end portion 401 of the rear portion 4 and the front edge of the front cover 20 of the front portion 2 (see FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). In addition, the side portion 5 extends from the end edges of both sides of the back portion 4, specifically, from the end edges of both sides of the front end portion 401 and the end edges of both sides of the base end portion 400 described later, toward the front side (refer to Figure 2 ).

[0027] Hereinafter, the front side of the fishing tool box 1 corresponds to the side opposite to the clothes C (the side farthest from the clothes C) when the box 1 is attached to the clothes C (refer to Figure 1). In addition, the back side of the fishing tool box 1 corresponds to the side of the clothes C when the box 1 is attached to the clothes C (the side closer to the clothes C).

[0028] The front portion 2 supports the fishing pliers G housed in the case 1 from the front side. The front portion 2 also includes a front cover 20 that covers the front end G10 of the fishing pliers G, and a middle cover 21 that covers the middle portion G11 of the fishing pliers G. The portion of the front portion 2 other than the front cover 20 and middle cover 21 is open to the front side. In other words, the front portion 2 consists solely of the front cover 20 and middle cover 21.

[0029] Like this, because most of the fishing tool box 1 is open to the front side, therefore, after using the pliers G, it is easy to take the pliers G out of the box 1 and clean the inside of the box 1. For example, in the box 1, it is easy to insert a finger etc. into the inside of the box 1 and clean it.

[0030] The front end cover 20 covers the front end portion G10 of the fishing pliers G from the front side, thereby preventing the fishing pliers G from falling out of the box 1. In this embodiment, the front end cover 20 is a plate with a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward the front end. Figure 4 As shown, the dimension L20 of the front end cover 20, measured from the front end toward the base end, is 10 mm to 30 mm. This is the minimum dimension set to prevent dripping (fish blood or mucus) from the pliers G. Because the front end cover 20 is not deep, it is easier for the user to reach inside the front end cover 20 with a finger or a brush to clean it, compared to the case 1 with a deeper front end cover.

[0031] The middle covering portion 21 covers the middle portion G11 of the fishing pliers G, thereby preventing the fishing pliers G from falling off from the box 1 (see FIG. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the intermediate cover portion 21 is a long plate extending in the width direction of the box 1. In addition, one intermediate cover portion 21 is provided in the box 1.

[0032] The intermediate covering portion 21 serves as a central portion, covering the longitudinal middle portion G11 of the gripping portion G1 of the pliers G from the front side. However, it may also cover any portion of the longitudinal region of the pliers G other than the ends. For example, the intermediate covering portion 21 may cover the fulcrum portion G3 or the distal end of the gripping portion G2. Furthermore, multiple intermediate covering portions 21 may be provided in the case 1.

[0033] The bottom portion 3 supports the fishing pliers G stored in the box 1 from the bottom side. Specifically, the bottom portion 3 covers the front end portion G10 of the fishing pliers G from the bottom side, thereby preventing the fishing pliers G or dripping matter on the fishing pliers G (fish blood or mucus) from falling downward from the box 1.

[0034] The back portion 4 supports the fishing pliers G stored in the box 1 from the back side. In addition, the back portion 4 prevents the blood and mucus of the fish from adhering to the fisherman's clothes C. In this embodiment, the back portion 4 includes a plate-shaped back portion body 40 and a hook portion 41 connected to the back portion body 40 (see FIG. Figure 2 ).

[0035] The back body 40 covers the fishing pliers G stored in the box 1 from the back side, thereby supporting the fishing pliers G from the back side (see Figure 1 ). In addition, the back portion body 40 covers the front end side (the side close to the fulcrum portion G3) of the gripping portion G2 of the fishing pliers G, the clamping portion G1, and the fulcrum portion G3 from the back side. However, it is sufficient to cover at least the front end portion G10 of the fishing pliers G from the back side.

[0036] The back portion body 40 is flat and has a base end portion 400 and a front end portion 401 connected to the base end portion 400 on the front end side (see FIG. Figure 2 The back portion main body 40 has a through window 42 that penetrates the back portion main body 40 in the thickness direction.

[0037] The base end portion 400 covers the gripping portion G2 and the fulcrum portion G3 of the pliers G from the back side (see Figure 1 ). In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the base portion 400 is substantially rectangular, and the hook portion 41 is integrally connected to the base portion 400. Furthermore, the base portion 400 is provided with a through window 42. Furthermore, the base portion 400 has a flat plate portion 43 in which the through window 42 is provided, and a rear convex portion 44 that protrudes from the flat plate portion 43 toward the rear side.

[0038] The rear convex portion 44 prevents clothing C from falling out of the box 1 when the hook 41 is hooked onto clothing C. A pair of rear convex portions 44 are provided to sandwich the through-window 42 from the width direction. The rear surface 440 of each rear convex portion 44 includes a base-end inclined surface 441 located at the base end, a front-end inclined surface 442 located at the front end, and a connecting flat surface 443 extending between the base-end inclined surface 441 and the front-end inclined surface 442.

[0039] like Figure 4As shown, the inclination angle of the base-side inclined surface 441 relative to the surface 430 of the flat plate portion 43 is greater than the inclination angle of the distal-side inclined surface 442 relative to the surface 430 of the flat plate portion 43. The inclination angle of the base-side inclined surface 441 relative to the surface 430 of the flat plate portion 43 is, for example, 45 to 80 degrees. Furthermore, the inclination angle of the distal-side inclined surface 442 relative to the surface 430 of the flat plate portion 43 is, for example, 20 to 45 degrees.

[0040] Due to the structure of the base end side of the rear convex portion 44, when the hook portion 41 is hooked on the garment C, even if the garment C moves downward relative to the box 1, it is easy to hook on the base end side inclined surface 441 (it is difficult to slide), so that the garment C is difficult to fall off the box 1. In addition, due to the structure of the front end side of the rear convex portion 44, when the hook portion 41 is hooked on the garment C, which is located above the garment C, the garment C can pass over the rear convex portion 44 along the gentle front end side inclined surface 442 (because it is easy to slide), so the hook portion 41 is easy to hook on the garment C.

[0041] The front end portion 401 covers the gripping portion G1 of the pliers G from the back side (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the distal end portion 401 is a flat plate with a tapered shape that becomes narrower as it approaches the distal end. In addition, the distal end portion 401 is located closer to the front side than the base end portion 400 (see Figure 3 ). That is, in the back portion main body 40, the boundary between the base end side portion 400 and the front end side portion 401 forms a step portion. In the back portion main body 40, the base end side portion 400 and the front end side portion 401 are formed by bending a single flat plate.

[0042] The hook portion 41 can fix the box 1 by hooking on the outside of the box 1 (see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the hook portion 41 has a base end 410 that is fixed to the base-side portion 400, and a tip end 411 that is free. The tip end 411 of the hook portion 41 is bent into a hook shape, projecting toward the front. Furthermore, a portion of the tip end 411 extends into the through-window 42, overlapping the rear convex portion 44 in the width direction.

[0043] In addition, the hook portion 41 is exposed through the through window 42 in a front view (see Figure 2Therefore, since the user, such as an angler, can press the hook 41 from the front side of the box 1, causing the front end side of the hook 41 (including the front end portion 411) to move toward the rear side relative to the rear convex portion 44, it is easy to remove the hook 41 from the state of being hooked on the outside of the box 1. For example, when the hook 41 is hooked on the belt of the angler's clothing C, the angler can press the hook 41 from the front side through the through window 42 to remove the hook 41 from the belt, thereby easily removing the box 1 from the belt.

[0044] The side surface portion 5 supports the fishing pliers G stored in the box 1 from the side (see Figure 1 A pair of side panels 5 are provided on either side of the pliers G in the width direction. In this embodiment, the pair of side panels 5 prevents the clamping portion G1 of the pliers G from opening. Furthermore, each side panel 5 covers the entire longitudinal side of the clamping portion G1 of the pliers G. However, it is also possible to partially cover the longitudinal side of the clamping portion G1. It is sufficient that the side panels 5 cover at least the side of the front end portion G10.

[0045] Furthermore, the inner surface of the side surface portion 5 is provided with a side convex portion 50 protruding inward (see Figure 2 The side convex portion 50 is hooked on the step portion formed on the side of the clamping portion G1 of the fishing pliers G, that is, the corner portion G4, thereby preventing the fishing pliers G from falling off from the box 1 toward the base end side (see Figure 1 ).

[0046] In the above-described fishing tool box 1, the front portion 2, bottom portion 3, back portion 4, and side portions 5 are integrally formed, but at least a portion thereof may be formed of other components, and these components may be fixed by screws or the like. Furthermore, the fishing tool box 1 of this embodiment may be formed by injection molding of a resin such as polyamide, ABS, or polypropylene, but a portion such as the hook portion may be made of metal and formed by insert molding or the like.

[0047] It should be noted that the fishing tool box of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the fishing tool box 1 includes a front portion 2, a bottom portion 3, a back portion 4, and a side portion 5. However, it is sufficient to have at least the front portion 2, the bottom portion 3, and the back portion 4. As long as the front portion 2 and the back portion 4 can be connected, the side portion 5 may not be included.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the hook 41 is visible through the through-window 42 of the rear body 40 when viewed from the front. However, this configuration is not required. For example, the case 1 may have a configuration in which the rear body 40 is not provided with the through-window 42, and the hook 41 is concealed on the rear side of the plate-shaped rear body 40. In this configuration, a user, such as an angler, can remove the hook 41 from its position on the outside of the case 1 by inserting a finger and operating the hook 41 from the rear side.
