[0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2537904. SUMMARY

[0007] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0008] On the other hand, the bait box is mostly mounted to a rim portion of a fishing storage box to be used, and sometimes is mounted to a corner of the rim portion to be used. When the bait box is mounted to the rim portion of the storage box by the hooking portion for mounting to the belt, there is a problem of instability. When the bait box is mounted to the corner of the rim portion, the stability is worse, and the hooking portion also bears a load.

[0009] An object of the present application is to provide a bait box which can be stably mounted to a rim portion of a fishing storage box, and also can be mounted to a corner of the rim portion.

[0010] Means for solving the problem

[0011] (1) The bait box of Mode 1 of the present application is characterized by being a bait box for fishing, and comprising: a box-shaped main body portion having a bottom surface formed on a lower side, a side surface surrounding the bottom surface, and an opening formed on an upper end of the side surface; and a hooking portion provided to the side surface, the hooking portion having: a pair of first claw portions separated from the side surface in a vertical direction with respect to the side surface and extending in an up-down direction, and the pair of first claw portions being separated in a horizontal direction intersecting the up-down direction and the vertical direction; and a second claw portion separated from the side surface in the vertical direction and extending in the up-down direction, and provided between the pair of first claw portions and separated from the first claw portions in the horizontal direction, a length in the horizontal direction between the first claw portions and the second claw portion being larger than a length in the vertical direction between the side surface and the first claw portions.

[0012] According to the bait box of the present application, in the first aspect, the side surface of the main body portion is provided with a hooking portion, so that the bait box can be stably mounted to the edge portion of a box-shaped member. For example, the bait box can be stably mounted to the edge portion of a fishing storage box. Further, the hooking portion is configured such that a member that can be inserted between the side surface of the main body portion and the first claw portion can also be inserted between the first claw portion and the second claw portion of the hooking portion. Therefore, by passing the edge portion of the storage box between the first claw portion and the second claw portion and using the front surface of the first claw portion and the rear surface of the second claw portion as a clamping portion, the bait box can also be mounted to the corner of the storage box. Note that the direction from the side surface of the main body portion toward the hooking portion in the vertical direction is the front direction, and the direction opposite to the front direction in the vertical direction is the rear direction.

[0013] (2) The second aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the first aspect, at least one of the first claw portion and the second claw portion has a length in the up-down direction that is smaller than the length of the side surface in the up-down direction.

[0014] According to the second aspect of the bait box of the present application, at least one of the first claw portion and the second claw portion has a length in the up-down direction that is smaller than the length of the side surface of the main body portion. Therefore, when the bait box is mounted to a frame that has a length in the up-down direction that is larger than the length of the side surface of the main body portion, the lower end of the hooking portion does not protrude further downward than the lower end of the mounted frame. For example, when the edge portion of a storage box in which the bait box is mounted has a length in the up-down direction that is larger than the length of the side surface of the main body portion, the bait box can be mounted to the storage box with the main body portion disposed on the inner side of the storage box.

[0015] (3) The third aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the first aspect or the second aspect, the first claw portion has a first protrusion that protrudes in a direction away from the side surface at the lower end.

[0016] According to the third aspect of the bait box of the present application, the first protrusion can be hooked to a member that is in contact with the front surface of the first claw portion. For example, when the bait box is mounted to the corner of a storage box with the front surface of the first claw portion and the rear surface of the second claw portion serving as a clamping portion, the first protrusion engages with the edge portion of the storage box, so that the bait box can be more securely secured.

[0017] (4) The fourth aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the third aspect, the first protrusion has a second protrusion that protrudes from the side portion toward the second claw portion.

[0018] According to the bait box of the present application, the fourth aspect has a structure in which the second protrusion is capable of being hooked to a member inserted between the first claw portion and the second claw portion. For example, when the rim portion of the storage box is passed between the first claw portion and the second claw portion and the bait box is installed in the corner of the rim portion of the storage box, the second protrusion is engaged with the rim portion, and thus, the bait box can be more securely engaged.

[0019] (5) The fifth aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the fourth aspect, the second protrusion has an inclined surface inclined toward the side surface on the side of the second claw portion.

[0020] According to the bait box of the present application, the fifth aspect has a structure in which, when the front surface of the first claw portion and the rear surface of the second claw portion are used as a clamping portion and the bait box is installed in the corner of the rim portion of the storage box, the inclined surface in the first claw portion comes into contact with the side surface of the storage box. Thus, interference between the first claw portion and the side surface of the storage box can be avoided, and the bait box can be smoothly installed in the corner of the rim portion of the storage box.

[0021] (6) The sixth aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the first aspect or the second aspect, the side surface has a third protrusion protruding from the surface toward the first claw portion.

[0022] According to the bait box of the present application, the sixth aspect has a structure in which the side surface of the main body portion has the third protrusion, and thus, when the rear surface of the first claw portion and the side surface of the main body portion are used as a clamping portion and the bait box is installed in the straight portion of the rim portion of the storage box, the bait box can be more securely engaged by the third protrusion.

[0023] (7) The seventh aspect of the bait box of the present application is characterized in that, in the bait box of the first aspect or the second aspect, the main body portion has a cover portion that opens or closes the opening.

[0024] According to the bait box of the present application, the seventh aspect has the cover portion, and thus, the bait such as Artemia can be prevented from leaking from the main body portion.

[0025] Effects of the invention

[0026] According to the present application, a bait box capable of being stably installed in the rim portion of a storage box for fishing and capable of being installed in the corner of the rim portion can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

In addition, the side closer to the user who observes the bait box from the front surface is defined as "front" and the side farther from the user is defined as "rear" when observed from the bait box, thereby defining the front-rear direction (vertical direction) Y. Further, the direction orthogonal to the bottom surface of the bait box is defined as the up-down direction Z. Note that the left-right direction X is a direction that intersects at right angles with the front-rear direction (vertical direction) Y and the up-down direction Z in the horizontal direction. In the drawings, the +X direction is the right side, the -X direction is the left side, the +Y direction is the rear side, the -Y direction is the front side, the +Z direction is the upper side, and the -Z direction is the lower side.

[0044] (First Embodiment)

[0045] (Bait box 100)

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 12 The bait box 100 of the first embodiment will be described. First, the overall structure of the bait box 100 will be described. However, the bait box 100 does not need to have all the structures described below, and some of the structures can be omitted as appropriate.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the bait box 100 includes a main body portion 1, a lid portion 2, and a hooking portion 3. The bait box 100 is a bait box for fishing.

[0048] The main body portion 1 has a bottom plate portion 11 and a side plate portion 12. The main body portion 1 is a box-shaped member. The main body portion 1 is formed to include synthetic resin. Note that the material of the main body portion 1 is not limited, and can be formed to include, for example, metal.

[0049] As Figure 4 shown, the bottom plate portion 11 is formed on the lower side and extends in the left-right direction X and the front-rear direction Y. The bottom plate portion 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. The corner portions of the bottom plate portion 11 are formed in rounded corners. By forming the rounded corners, the durability, ease of use, safety, and designability of the product are improved. Note that the rounded corners can not be formed.

[0050] The side plate portion 12 has a front plate portion 13, a rear plate portion 14, a left plate portion 15, and a right plate portion 16. The side plate portion 12 is vertically provided upward (+Z direction) from the peripheral portion of the bottom plate portion 11. The surface of the side plate portion 12 is formed with a side surface 12f. The side surface 12f has a front surface 13f, a rear surface 14f, a left surface 15f, and a right surface 16f, which will be described later.

[0051] As Figure 1As shown, the front plate portion 13 is connected to the front side of the base plate portion 11 and rises upward from the connection portion with the base plate portion 11. The connection portion between the base plate portion 11 and the front plate portion 13 has an inclined surface 13c extending forward and upward from the front end of the base plate portion 11 toward the lower end of the front surface 13f. The front surface 13f is the surface of the front side of the front plate portion 13. By forming the inclined surface 13c, the product's durability, usability, safety, and appearance are improved. It should be noted that the inclination may not be present.

[0052] The front panel 13 has a locking protrusion (third protrusion) 4 and a support portion 5.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking protrusion 4 protrudes from the front surface 13f of the main body 1 toward the first claw portion 6, which will be described later. The locking protrusion 4 is provided at two locations on the front surface 13f. One of the locking protrusions 4 is located on the front surface 13f at a position that overlaps with the left claw portion 6a, which will be described later, when viewed from the front-rear direction Y. The other locking protrusion 4 is located on the front surface 13f at a position that overlaps with the right claw portion 6b, which will be described later, when viewed from the front-rear direction Y.

[0054] The locking protrusion 4 has a left plate portion 41, a right plate portion 42, and a reinforcing connecting portion 43. The left plate portion 41 extends forward from the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1. The left plate portion 41 is a plate-shaped component extending in the vertical direction Z and the front-back direction Y. The upper end of the left plate portion 41 is connected to the main body connecting portion 31 of the hook portion 3 (described later). The right plate portion 42 extends forward from the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1. The right plate portion 42 is a plate-shaped component extending in the vertical direction Z and the front-back direction Y. The upper end of the right plate portion 42 is connected to the main body connecting portion 31 of the hook portion 3 (described later). The left plate portion 41 and the right plate portion 42 are spaced apart in the left-right direction X. The reinforcing connecting portion 43 connects the left plate portion 41 and the right plate portion 42 (see reference). Figure 8 The reinforcing connection 43 extends from the right side surface of the left plate portion 41 to the left side surface of the right plate portion 42. The strength of the locking protrusion 4 is increased by forming the reinforcing connection 43. It should be noted that the reinforcing connection 43 may not be formed.

[0055] When viewed from the right side, the front ends of the left plate portion 41 and the right plate portion 42 of the locking protrusion 4 are shaped as follows: they curve upwards from the bottom and protrude forward, then curve upwards and backwards, and then extend upwards in a generally straight line (see reference). Figure 3 The most forward-protruding parts of the left plate portion 41 and the right plate portion 42 overlap with the first claw portion 6 when viewed from the front-rear direction Y. It should be noted that the most forward-protruding parts of the left plate portion 41 and the right plate portion 42 can be offset from the first claw portion 6 in the horizontal direction.

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, the support portion 5 includes an inclined plate portion 51, an abutment portion 52, and a reinforcing plate portion 53. The inclined plate portion 51 extends forward and downward from the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1. The inclined plate portion 51 is a plate-shaped component extending in the left-right direction X and forward and downward. The inclined plate portion 51 is formed between a pair of locking protrusions 4, 4. The inclined plate portion 51 protrudes rearward and bends from its upper end to its lower end. The abutment portion 52 is a plate-shaped component connected to the lower end of the inclined plate portion 51 and extending vertically downward. (The abutment portion 52 is a plate-shaped component extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z.) The abutment portion 52 is generally rectangular. The reinforcing plate portion 53 extends from the front surface 13f to the rear surface of the inclined plate portion 51 (see reference). Figure 3 The reinforcing plate 53 is a plate-shaped component extending in the front-rear direction Y and the vertical direction Z. The strength of the support 5 is increased by forming the reinforcing plate 53. It should be noted that the reinforcing plate 53 may not be formed.

[0057] Because the bait box 100 has a support portion 5, it prevents the bait box 100 from tilting relative to the side of the storage box when it is installed in the storage box. Since the abutment portion 52 abuts against the side of the storage box when the bait box 100 is installed in the storage box, the bait box 100 is supported by the support portion 5. Figure 3 As shown, the front surface of the abutment portion 52 of the support portion 5 is preferably formed at a position slightly rearward than the rear surface 6f of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 when viewed from the vertical direction Z. It should be noted that the shape of the support portion 5 is not limited. The support portion 5 may also be omitted.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear plate portion 14 is connected to the rear side of the base plate portion 11 and rises upward from the connection portion between it and the base plate portion 11. The connection portion between the base plate portion 11 and the rear plate portion 14 has an inclined surface 14c extending rearward and upward from the rear end of the base plate portion 11 toward the lower end of the rear surface 14f. The rear surface 14f is the rear surface of the rear plate portion 14. By forming the inclined surface 14c, the product's durability, usability, safety, and appearance are improved. It should be noted that the inclined surface 14c may not be formed.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear panel 14 has a cover clamping portion 17. The cover clamping portion 17 is formed at the upper end of the rear panel 14. The cover clamping portion 17 extends in the left-right direction X and has a U-shaped shape when viewed from the left-right direction X (see reference). Figure 7 The cover clamping part 17 rotatably clamps the main body mounting part 23 of the cover part 2, which will be described later. The main body mounting part 23 has a rod-shaped form extending in the left-right direction X (see reference). Figure 5 ).

[0060] like Figure 2As shown, the left plate portion 15 is connected to the left side of the base plate portion 11 and rises upward from the connection portion between it and the base plate portion 11. The connection portion between the base plate portion 11 and the left plate portion 15 has an inclined surface 15c extending upward and to the left from the left end of the base plate portion 11 toward the lower end of the left surface 15f. The left surface 15f is the surface on the left side of the left plate portion 15. The inclined surface 15c improves the product's durability, usability, safety, and aesthetics. It should be noted that the inclined surface 15c may not be formed. The left plate portion 15 connects the left ends of the front plate portion 13 and the rear plate portion 14. Rounded corners are formed between the left plate portion 15 and both the front plate portion 13 and the rear plate portion 14. The presence of these rounded corners improves the product's durability, usability, safety, and aesthetics. It should be noted that rounded corners may not be formed.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the left plate portion 15 has a left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a. The left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a is formed on the upper part of the left surface 15f of the left plate portion 15. The left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a has a recess 18c. The recess 18c is recessed to the right from the left surface 18l of the left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a. The recess 18c is formed to fit into, for example, a convex component mounted on a shoulder strap. It should be noted that the structure of the left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a is not limited. The left shoulder strap mounting portion 18a may also be omitted.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the right plate portion 16 connects to the right side of the base plate portion 11 and rises upward from the connection portion between it and the base plate portion 11. The connection portion between the base plate portion 11 and the right plate portion 16 has an inclined surface 16c extending upward and to the right from the right end of the base plate portion 11 toward the lower end of the right surface 16f. The right surface 16f is the surface on the right side of the right plate portion 16. The inclined surface 16c improves the product's durability, usability, safety, and aesthetics. It should be noted that the inclined surface 16c may not be formed. The right plate portion 16 connects to the right ends of the front plate portion 13 and the rear plate portion 14. Rounded corners are formed between the right plate portion 16 and both the front plate portion 13 and the rear plate portion 14. The presence of these rounded corners improves the product's durability, usability, safety, and aesthetics. It should be noted that rounded corners may not be formed.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the right plate portion 16 has a right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b. The right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b is formed on the upper part of the right surface 16f of the right plate portion 16. The right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b has a recess 18c. The recess 18c is recessed to the left from the right surface 18r of the right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b. The recess 18c is formed to fit into, for example, a convex component mounted on a shoulder strap. It should be noted that the structure of the right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b is not limited. The right shoulder strap mounting portion 18b may also be omitted.

[0064] As shown in Figure 6 , the upper end of the side plate portion 12 is formed with an opening 12o. The opening 12o is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the corners are rounded.

[0065] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the lid portion 2 has a lid main body portion 21, a handle 22, a main body mounting portion 23, and a coolant fixing portion 24. The lid portion 2 opens or closes the opening 12o. The lid portion 2 is formed to include a synthetic resin. Note that the material of the lid portion 2 is not limited, and can be formed to include, for example, a metal.

[0066] As shown in Figure 5 , the lid main body portion 21 has a plate-like shape extending in the left-right direction X and the front-rear direction Y in a state in which the lid portion 2 is closed. The lid main body portion 21 is provided at the upper end of the side plate portion 12 of the main body portion 1, and covers the opening 12o. The lid main body portion 21 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the up-down direction Z, and the corners are rounded.

[0067] As shown in Figure 5 , the handle 22 extends forward from the front end of the lid main body portion 21. The handle 22 is a plate-like member extending in the left-right direction X and the front-rear direction Y. The handle 22 is formed with a groove 22a in an upper surface 22u. The upper surface 22u is a surface on the upper side of the handle 22. The groove 22a extends in the left-right direction X. The groove 22a engages with a claw portion 32b of a lid stop portion 32 of the hook portion 3 described later. The corners of the left front and the right front of the handle 22 are rounded. By rounding the corners, the usability, the safety, and the designability are improved. Note that the corners can not be rounded.

[0068] As shown in Figure 5 , the main body mounting portion 23 is formed at the rear end of the lid main body portion 21. The main body mounting portion 23 has a rod-like shape extending in the left-right direction X. The main body mounting portion 23 is rotatably clamped by the lid clamping portion 17 of the main body portion 1. By the rod-like shape of the main body mounting portion 23 and the U-shaped shape of the lid clamping portion 17 fitting into each other, the main body mounting portion 23 is clamped by the lid clamping portion 17 (see Figure 7 ). Since the lid clamping portion 17 has a U-shaped shape, the main body mounting portion 23 is clamped detachably. In the present embodiment, since the lid clamping portion 17 and the main body mounting portion 23 are formed of a resin and are elastically deformable, the main body mounting portion 23 can be detached from the lid clamping portion 17. Since the main body mounting portion 23 can be detached from the lid clamping portion 17, the main body portion 1 and the lid portion 2 can be separated and washed when the bait tank 100 is washed.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the coolant retaining part 24 is formed on the lower surface of the cover body 21. That is, when the cover 2 closes the opening 12o of the body 1, the coolant retaining part 24 is disposed inside the box-shaped structure formed by the body 1 and the cover 2.

[0070] The coolant retainer fixing part 24 has a plate-shaped part 24a and a reinforcing part 24b. The plate-shaped part 24a extends downward from the lower surface of the cover body part 21. The plate-shaped part 24a extends in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z. Multiple plate-shaped parts 24a are provided at intervals in the front-back direction Y. The multiple plate-shaped parts 24a spaced apart in the front-back direction Y are connected to the reinforcing part 24b at their lower ends. The reinforcing part 24b extends in the front-back direction Y and is connected to the multiple plate-shaped parts 24a on its upper surface.

[0071] Two coolant fixing portions 24 are provided at intervals in the left-right direction X. Coolant can be clamped between the left and right coolant fixing portions 24 and secured by rubber bands or the like. Rubber bands or the like can be attached to the end of the reinforcing portion 24b in the front-rear direction Y. Furthermore, since block-shaped components can be clamped between adjacent pairs of plate-shaped portions 24a and between the lower surface of the cover 2 and the reinforcing portion 24b, for example, insulating material or coolant with block-shaped components that can fit into the coolant fixing portions 24 can be installed. Because of the coolant fixing portions 24, the coolant can be fixed inside the bait box 100, thus maintaining the freshness of the krill or other bait stored in the bait box 100. Furthermore, since the coolant can be disposed on the lower surface of the cover 2, it is possible to prevent the coolant from adhering to the bait. It should be noted that the shape of the refrigerant fixing part 24 is not limited. The refrigerant fixing part 24 may not be formed.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the hook portion 3 has a main body connecting portion 31, a first claw portion 6, and a second claw portion 7. The hook portion 3 is disposed on the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1. The hook portion 3 is formed of synthetic resin. It should be noted that the material of the hook portion 3 is not limited, and it can also be formed of, for example, metal.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body connecting portion 31 extends forward from the upper end of the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1. The main body connecting portion 31 has a plate-like shape extending in the left-right direction X and the front-back direction Y. The main body connecting portion 31 connects the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 to the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7. The main body connecting portion 31 has an opening 31o that extends through in the vertical direction Z. The opening 31o is generally rectangular when viewed from the vertical direction Z. The cover locking portion 32, which will be described later, is inserted through the opening 31o.

[0074] The body connecting portion 31 has a lid locking portion 32 and a clamping portion 33 (see Figure 7 ). The lid locking portion 32 has a plate portion 32a, a claw portion 32b, and a connecting portion 32c.

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 , the plate portion 32a of the lid locking portion 32 is a member extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z. The plate portion 32a is provided on the front side of the body portion 1 and the lid portion 2. The plate portion 32a is provided at a position overlapping the body portion 1 and the lid portion 2 when viewed from the front-rear direction Y.

[0076] As shown in Figure 6 , the claw portion 32b of the lid locking portion 32 protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the plate portion 32a. The claw portion 32b extends in the left-right direction X and is formed from the end portion on the left side of the plate portion 32a to the end portion on the right end. The claw portion 32b is provided at a position overlapping the handle 22 of the lid portion 2 when viewed from the front-rear direction Y upon closing of the lid portion 2 (see Figure 1 ). The claw portion 32b fixes the lid portion 2 by engaging with the groove 22a formed in the handle 22 (see Figure 1 ). In the present embodiment, since the handle 22 and the claw portion 32b are formed of synthetic resin and elastically deform, the handle 22 can be engaged with or detached from the groove 22a.

[0077] As shown in Figure 8 , the connecting portion 32c of the lid locking portion 32 is formed at the lower end of the plate portion 32a. The connecting portion 32c is a rod-shaped member extending in the left-right direction X. The connecting portion 32c is rotatably clamped by the clamping portion 33 of the body connecting portion 31 described later (see Figure 7 ).

[0078] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the clamping portion 33 is formed at the lower end of the opening 31o. The clamping portion 33 extends in the left-right direction X and has a U-shaped shape when viewed from the left-right direction X. The clamping portion 33 clamps the connecting portion 32c by the U-shaped shape of the clamping portion 33 fitting the rod shape of the connecting portion 32c. The clamping portion 33 rotatably clamps the connecting portion 32c.

[0079] As shown in Figure 1 , the first claw portion 6 is connected to the front surface 13f of the body portion 1 via the body connecting portion 31. The first claw portion 6 is spaced apart from the front surface 13f in the front-rear direction Y and extends in the up-down direction Z. The rear surface 6f of the first claw portion 6 has a surface extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z. The first claw portion 6 includes a left claw portion 6a and a right claw portion 6b which are a pair. The left claw portion 6a and the right claw portion 6b are spaced apart in the left-right direction X, and the left claw portion 6a is provided at a position more to the left than the right claw portion 6b.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1 , the left claw portion 6a is connected to the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 via the main body connecting portion 31. The left claw portion 6a extends downward from the left front end of the main body connecting portion 31. The left claw portion 6a is spaced apart from the front surface 13f in the front-rear direction Y. The length H1 of the left claw portion 6a in the up-down direction Z is smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 in the up-down direction Z (see Figure 2 ). Further, the length H1 of the left claw portion 6a is preferably smaller than half the length H4 of the front surface 13f. Note that in the case where the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 described later in the up-down direction Z is smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f, the length H1 of the left claw portion 6a can be larger than half the length H4 of the front surface 13f.

[0081] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the left claw portion 6a has a first protrusion 8a. The first protrusion 8a protrudes forward from the lower end of the front surface of the left claw portion 6a. The first protrusion 8a has a second protrusion 9a at the right side portion.

[0082] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the second protrusion 9a protrudes to the right side from the right side portion of the first protrusion 8a. The second protrusion 9a has an inclined surface 9c at the right front corner portion. The inclined surface 9c, when viewed from below, is inclined from the right front corner portion of the second protrusion 9a to the left front.

[0083] As shown in Figure 1 , the right claw portion 6b is connected to the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 via the main body connecting portion 31. The right claw portion 6b extends downward from the right front end of the main body connecting portion 31. The right claw portion 6b is spaced apart from the front surface 13f in the front-rear direction Y. The length H2 of the right claw portion 6b in the up-down direction Z is smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 in the up-down direction Z (see Figure 2 ). Further, the length H2 of the right claw portion 6b is preferably smaller than half the length H4 of the front surface 13f.

In the present embodiment, the length H1 of the left claw portion 6a is the same as the length H2 of the right claw portion 6b.

[0084] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the right claw portion 6b has a first protrusion 8b. The first protrusion 8b protrudes forward from the lower end of the front surface of the right claw portion 6b. The first protrusion 8b has a second protrusion 9b at the left side portion.

[0085] As Figure 2 shown in FIG. 6, the second protrusion 9b protrudes from the side portion on the left side of the first protrusion 8b to the left side. The second protrusion 9b has an inclined surface 9d at the left front corner. The inclined surface 9d is inclined from the left front corner of the second protrusion 9b to the right front when viewed from below. Figure 4

[0086] As Figure 1 shown in FIG. 6, the second claw portion 7 is connected to the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 via the main body connecting portion 31. The second claw portion 7 extends downward from the front end of the main body connecting portion 31. The second claw portion 7 is provided between the left claw portion 6a and the right claw portion 6b. The second claw portion 7 is a plate-shaped member extending in the up-down direction Z and the left-right direction X. The front surface 7a of the second claw portion 7 has a surface extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z. The rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 has a surface extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z. The second claw portion 7 is spaced apart from the front surface 13f in the front-rear direction Y.

[0087] As Figure 2 shown in FIG. 6, the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 in the up-down direction Z is smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 in the up-down direction Z. Further, the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 is preferably smaller than half of the length H4 of the front surface 13f. Note that in the case where the length H1 of the left claw portion 6a and the length H2 of the right claw portion 6b are smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f, the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 can be larger than half of the length H4 of the front surface 13f. In the present embodiment, the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 is the same as the length H1 of the left claw portion 6a and the length H2 of the right claw portion 6b.

[0088] As Figure 2 shown in FIG. 6, the left claw portion 6a is spaced apart from the second claw portion 7 in the left-right direction X. The length LI in the left-right direction X between the left claw portion 6a and the second claw portion 7 is larger than the length L3 in the front-rear direction Y between the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 and the left claw portion 6a (refer to FIG. 5). Figure 3 The right claw portion 6b is spaced apart from the second claw portion 7 in the left-right direction X. The length L2 in the left-right direction X between the right claw portion 6b and the second claw portion 7 is larger than the length L3 in the front-rear direction Y between the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1 and the left claw portion 6a.

[0089] Next, the function of the bait box 100 will be described.

[0090] By sandwiching the rear surface 6f of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 with the front surface 13f of the main body portion 1, the bait box 100 can be installed to the straight portion of the rim portion of the storage box. At this time, the locking protrusion 4 is engaged with the rim portion of the storage box.

[0091] ​By passing the rim of the storage box between the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7 and using the front surface of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 as a clamping portion, the bait box can be installed to the corner of the storage box. At this time, the first protrusion 8a, the first protrusion 8b, the second protrusion 9a, and the second protrusion 9b are engaged with the rim of the storage box. Further, the inclined surfaces 9c and 9d in the first claw portion 6 are in contact with the side surface of the storage box.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 6, when the length of the rim of the storage box in the up-down direction Z is larger than the length H4, the bait box 100 can be installed to the storage box with the body portion 1 arranged on the inner side of the storage box. Figure 9

[0093] According to the bait box 100 of the present embodiment, since the front surface 13f of the body portion 1 is provided with the hooking portion 3, the bait box 100 can be stably installed to the rim of the box-shaped member. For example, the bait box 100 can be stably installed to the rim of the fishing storage box.

[0094] According to the bait box 100 of the present embodiment, the length LI between the left claw portion 6a and the second claw portion 7 and the length L2 between the right claw portion 6b and the second claw portion 7 are larger than the length L3 in the front-rear direction Y between the front surface 13f of the body portion 1 and the left claw portion 6a. Therefore, the hooking portion 3 is configured so that a member that can be inserted between the front surface 13f of the body portion 1 and the first claw portion 6 can also be inserted between the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7 of the hooking portion 3. Therefore, by passing the rim of the storage box between the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7 and using the front surface of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 as a clamping portion, the bait box can also be installed to the corner of the storage box.

[0095] According to the bait box 100 of the present embodiment, the length Hl of the left claw portion 6a and the length H2 of the right claw portion 6b are smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f of the body portion 1. Therefore, when the bait box 100 is installed to a frame whose length in the up-down direction Z is larger than the length H4, the hooking portion 3 does not protrude downward more than the lower end of the installed frame. For example, when the length of the rim of the storage box in which the bait box 100 is installed in the up-down direction Z is larger than the length H4, the bait box 100 can be installed to the storage box with the body portion 1 arranged on the inner side of the storage box.

[0096] ​According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the length H3 of the second claw portion 7 is smaller than the length H4 of the front surface 13f of the main portion 1. Therefore, when the bait tank 100 is installed in a frame having a length greater than the length H4 in the up-down direction Z, the second claw portion 7 does not protrude downward beyond the lower end of the installed frame. For example, when the length of the edge portion of the housing box in which the bait tank 100 is installed in the up-down direction Z is greater than the length H4, the bait tank 100 can be installed in the housing box with the main portion 1 disposed on the inner side of the housing box.

[0097] According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the first protrusions 8a and 8b can be hooked to a member in contact with the front surface of the first claw portion 6. For example, when the front surface of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface of the second claw portion 7 are used as a clamping portion and the bait tank is installed in a corner of a housing box, the first protrusions 8a and 8b are engaged with the edge portion of the housing box, and thus, the bait tank can be more securely engaged.

[0098] According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the second protrusions 9a and 9b can be hooked to a member inserted between the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7. For example, when the edge portion of a housing box is passed between the first claw portion 6 and the second claw portion 7 and the bait tank 100 is installed in a corner of the housing box, the second protrusions 9a and 9b are engaged with the edge portion, and thus, the bait tank can be more securely engaged.

[0099] According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the inclined surfaces 9c and 9d in the first claw portion 6 are in contact with the side surface of the housing box when the front surface of the first claw portion 6 and the rear surface 7b of the second claw portion 7 are used as a clamping portion and the bait tank is installed in a corner of a housing box. Therefore, interference between the first claw portion 6 and the side surface of the housing box can be avoided, and thus, the bait tank 100 can be smoothly installed in a corner of the housing box.

[0100] According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the front surface 13f of the main portion 1 has the engaging protrusion 4, and thus, when the rear surface 6f of the first claw portion 6 and the front surface 13f of the main portion are used as a clamping portion and the bait tank 100 is installed in a straight portion of a housing box, the bait tank can be more securely engaged by the engaging protrusion 4.

[0101] According to the bait tank 100 of the present embodiment, the cover portion 2 is provided, and thus, bait such as Artemia can be prevented from falling out of the main portion 1.

[0102] (Modified Examples)

[0103] Next, modified examples of the bait tank 100 will be described.

[0104] Figures 12is a side view of a modification of the bait tank 100, that is, a bait tank 100B. The bait tank 100 differs from the bait tank 100B in the position where the locking protrusion 4 is formed.

[0105] The portion of the locking protrusion 4 of the bait tank 100B that protrudes most to the front side is formed at a position lower than the lower ends of the left claw portion 6a and the right claw portion 6b. In the bait tank 100B, when a member for mounting the bait tank 100B is passed between the first claw portion 6 and the locking protrusion 4, it can be passed between the corner portion behind and below the first claw portion 6 and the corner portion in front and above the portion of the locking protrusion 4 that protrudes most to the front side. Therefore, even when the thickness of the member for mounting the bait tank 100B is large, it is easy to mount.

[0106] (Second Embodiment)

[0107] (Bait Tank 100C)

[0108] Reference Figures 13 to 15 The bait tank 100C of the second embodiment will be described.

The locking portion 26b is a plate-shaped member with the up-down direction Z as the plate thickness direction. The locking portion 26b is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the up-down direction Z. Note that the shape of the locking portion 26b is not limited.

[0118] The reinforcement portion 27b is a member that extends from the side surface 25bt of the plate-shaped portion 25b toward the lower surface 21u of the lid main body portion 21. The reinforcement portion 27b is a plate-shaped member with the left-right direction X as the plate thickness direction. The reinforcement portion 27b is inclined toward the rear side from the connection portion between the lower surface 21u of the lid main body portion 21 in the state in which the lid portion 2C is closed. The reinforcement portion 27b is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the left-right direction X. Note that the shape of the reinforcement portion 27b is not limited. By providing the reinforcement portion 27b, the strength of the coolant fixing portion 24Cb can be ensured. Note that the reinforcement portion 27b can not be provided.

[0119] As shown in FIG. 6, the coolant fixing portion 24Cb has a plate-shaped portion 25b, a locking portion 26b, and a reinforcement portion 27b. The coolant fixing portion 24Cb can be formed to include a synthetic resin. The coolant fixing portion 24Cb can be elastically deformed by being formed to include a synthetic resin. Figure 13 and​Figure 14 As shown, the coolant fixing portion 24Cc has a plate-shaped portion 25c, a locking portion 26c, and a reinforcing portion 27c. The coolant fixing portion 24Cc can be formed to include a synthetic resin. By being formed to include a synthetic resin, the coolant fixing portion 24Cc is capable of elastic deformation.

[0120] The plate-shaped portion 25c is a component that extends downward from the lower surface 21u of the cover body portion 21 when the cover portion 2C is closed.

When viewed from the left-right direction X, the reinforcing part 27c is roughly triangular. It should be noted that the shape of the reinforcing part 27c is not limited. By providing the reinforcing part 27c, the strength of the refrigerant fixing part 24Cc can be ensured. It should be noted that the reinforcing part 27c may also be omitted.

[0123] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the coolant fixing portion 24Cd has a plate-shaped portion 25d, a locking portion 26d, and a reinforcing portion 27d. The coolant fixing portion 24Cd can be formed to include a synthetic resin. By being formed to include a synthetic resin, the coolant fixing portion 24Cd is capable of elastic deformation.

[0124] The plate-shaped portion 25d is a component that extends downward from the lower surface 21u of the cover body portion 21 when the cover portion 2C is closed. The plate-shaped portion 25d has its thickness along the front-rear direction Y.

[0125] The locking part 26d is a component that protrudes from the top end 25ds of the plate-shaped part 25d in the front-rear direction Y. When the cover part 2C is closed, the locking part 26d protrudes rearward from the top end 25ds of the plate-shaped part 25d. The locking part 26d is a plate-shaped component with the vertical direction Z as the thickness direction. When viewed from the vertical direction Z, the locking part 26d is roughly rectangular.

[0126] The reinforcing part 27d is a component that extends from the side 25dt of the plate-shaped part 25d towards the lower surface 21u of the cover body part 21. The reinforcing part 27d is a plate-shaped component with the left-right direction X as the plate thickness direction. When the cover part 2C is closed, the reinforcing part 27d tilts forward from the connection between it and the lower surface 21u of the cover body part 21. When viewed from the left-right direction X, the reinforcing part 27d is roughly triangular. It should be noted that the shape of the reinforcing part 27d is not limited. By providing the reinforcing part 27d, the strength of the coolant fixing part 24Cd can be ensured. It should be noted that the reinforcing part 27d may also be omitted.

[0127] Next, the function of the bait box 100C will be explained.

[0128] like Figure 15 As shown, the coolant I can be fixed to the lower surface 21u of the cover 2C using the coolant fixing part 24C.

[0129] Rubber G is hung on the refrigerant fixing parts 24Ca and 24Cd, thereby enabling rubber G to be installed between the refrigerant fixing parts 24Ca and 24Cd. Rubber G is installed in a generally straight line between the refrigerant fixing parts 24Ca and 24Cd. When rubber G is hung on the refrigerant fixing part 24Ca, rubber G is locked by locking part 26a. When rubber G is hung on the refrigerant fixing part 24Cb, rubber G is locked by locking part 26b. Rubber G can be, for example, a rubber band. It should be noted that the component installed on the refrigerant fixing parts 24Ca and 24Cb does not have to be rubber G. For example, a rope can be installed instead of rubber G.

[0130] The rubber G is hung on the coolant fixing portion 24Cb and the coolant fixing portion 24Cc, and thus the rubber G can be installed between the coolant fixing portion 24Cb and the coolant fixing portion 24Cc. The rubber G is installed in a substantially straight line between the coolant fixing portion 24Cb and the coolant fixing portion 24Cc. When the rubber G is hung on the coolant fixing portion 24Cb, the rubber G is caught by the catching portion 26b. When the rubber G is hung on the coolant fixing portion 24Cc, the rubber G is caught by the catching portion 26c. The rubber G is, for example, an elastic band. Note that the member installed on the coolant fixing portion 24Cb and the coolant fixing portion 24Cc can not be the rubber G. For example, a string can be installed instead of the rubber G.

[0131] By installing the rubber G on the coolant fixing portion 24Ca and the coolant fixing portion 24Cd and installing the rubber G on the coolant fixing portion 24Cb and the coolant fixing portion 24Cc, two rubbers G can be installed in a cross shape on the coolant fixing portion 24C. By installing the rubber G in a cross shape on the coolant fixing portion 24C, the lower surface 21u of the lid portion 2C and the rubber G become a sandwiching portion, and thus the coolant I can be fixed between the lower surface 21u of the lid portion 2C and the rubber G. Since the rubber G elastically deforms, the coolant I is pressed against the lower surface 21u of the coolant fixing portion 24C.

[0132] According to the bait tank 100C of the present embodiment, since the coolant fixing portion 24C is provided, the coolant I can be fixed to the lower surface 21u of the lid portion 2C. The coolant fixing portion 24C sandwiches and fixes the coolant I by installing, for example, the rubber G, as a sandwiching portion between the lower surface 21u of the lid portion 2C and the rubber G.

[0133] The several embodiments of the present application have been described, but these embodiments are presented only as examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the application. These embodiments can be implemented in other various ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the application.
