Fishing swivel with internal responsive bead

Abstract

The present invention provides a fishing swivel with an internal sounder ball, which has ring members connected to both ends, respectively, for attaching a lure to a fishing line. The necks of the ring members are rotatably supported in through holes of a main body so that each ring member can be independently rotated, and the ends of the necks are provided as mallets. The inside of the main body is formed as a space in which a tubular body and a ball are built in. The tubular body and the ball produce a sound by colliding with the mallets at both ends in the space of the main body to attract fish, thereby functioning as a sounder ball.

[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications Technical Field

[0002] This application claims priority and benefit to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0193890, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on December 23, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0003] This invention relates to a fishing swivel connecting the fishing line and the leader of the fishing rig to prevent backlash. More specifically, it relates to a fishing swivel with an internal rattle that produces a clicking sound during casting or lure fishing.

[0004] Related technical descriptions

[0005] A variety of fishing swivels to prevent fishing lines from tangling have been launched on the market. These products all have one thing in common: the pivot hook that connects to the fishing line is connected to the axis, so that the pivot hook can rotate freely relative to the main body.

[0006] A typical example is the following patent document 1 proposed by H. FRANZEN, which shows a construction in which a flange is formed at one end of a pivot pin extending through the upper and lower ends of a ring body having a central hole, such that the pivot pin can rotate freely relative to the body.

[0007] In addition, Y. OKISHIMA's patent document 2 shows a structure in which one end of the pivot hook runs longitudinally through the cylindrical body, and the end of the hook forms a stop on the flange inside the body, so that it also exhibits an integral connection structure to achieve free rotation.

[0008] Meanwhile, lure fishing equipment includes rattles that attract target fish by sound, flashing devices that attract fish by sight, and artificial lures that mimic the shape and movement of preferred or injured fish.

[0009] Rattle beads are used by attaching one or more balls to one of the fishing rigs, allowing them to move freely within a tubular body. However, as an improved example, as described in Patent Document 3 filed by P. ZERNOV below, a magnetic rattle bead system is also known, in which a magnet and a lure component are mounted on a rod-shaped support, the magnetic force of the magnet causing the lure component to move axially, thereby producing a sound when they collide with each other.

[0010] Meanwhile, in the field of lures, various designs are known to reduce the inconvenience of rig operation by incorporating a rattle inside.

[0011] The lure disclosed in the following patent document 4 by E.GRAMSE, JR is an example of a lure with an internal rattle, and shows an example in which the rattle has a chamber located in a tubular body, the chamber containing a number of spherical weights, and is integrally attached to a rotating plate.

[0012] The disclosed lure has holes in each longitudinal direction, allowing it to be clamped between the fishing line and the hook, so that the spherical sinker inside the chamber can move and make a sound during lure fishing.

[0013] In addition, patent document 5 filed by W. CRIHFIELD discloses a rattle fishing lure composed of a plastic shell assembly having two chambers, each containing multiple metal balls, wherein when the lure enters the water, the metal balls in the chambers move, producing a rattle to attract fish. Such lures can be used alone or integrated with other types of lures / live lures.

[0014] Furthermore, HURUYA's patent document 6 discloses a fishhook with an internal rattle and a heavy sinker, wherein a cavity is provided on both sides of the fishhook shank, the cavity having a conical concave wall surface to form a concave obtuse angle, and the heavy sinker built into the cavity having an acute-angled conical protrusion that matches the obtuse-angled conical wall surface, so that the acute-angled conical protrusion rotates around the apex in the obtuse-angled cone and produces a knocking sound.

[0015] On the other hand, patent document 7 filed by TOMAS VERNON discloses a fishhook in which a tubular chamber contains a rattle bead, the chamber being coaxially attached to and fixed to the stem so as to produce a rattle when casting and moving.

[0016] However, to date, no example has been proposed of a swivel that should be equipped with a fishing rig, i.e., a swivel with an integrated rattle.

[0017] To date, the common structure of swivels used involves rings attached to both ends of a hollow body that can be connected for rotation, with the hollow body pivoting at the shaft connection to allow the two rings to rotate relative to each other. Similarly, as a type of swivel, structures with ball bearings on one or both sides of the hollow body are known; however, the structural difference lies in the need to form raceways in the rings connected to the parts where the ball bearings are located to support them, which merely demonstrates the function of connecting two rings so that they can rotate freely relative to each other.

[0018] Therefore, in the past, when fishing, the only way to use a rattle was to install the lure, sinker, and hook on the swivel and then attach the rattle to the lure or sinker, replace the existing lure with a lure that has an internal rattle, or replace the hook with a hook that has an internal rattle.

[0019] However, attaching a separate rattle to the lure or sinker requires additional components, which is inconvenient and carries the risk of it falling off and getting lost during fishing. Furthermore, since the body of lures with internal rattles is usually made of soft plastic, the sound produced by the rattle weakens internally, making it less effective at attracting fish. Also, because the body is made of metal, it needs to be machined to create space for the rattle, which increases manufacturing costs.

[0020] For fishhooks with a rattle attached to the stem, when the space to accommodate the rattle is formed on the outside of the stem, the space is limited, resulting in a weak rattle effect and a small sound. Furthermore, when the chamber is coaxially mounted on the stem, the joint between the stem and the chamber becomes a weak point, making this area susceptible to being severed by the struggling of a hooked fish.

[0029] (Patent Document 7) U.S. Patent No. 10,136,623 Summary of the Invention

[0030] The present invention aims to provide a fishing swivel with an internal rattle, which can easily solve the inconvenience of fishing with rattles and can produce a sound with sufficient volume to attract fish.

[0031] The present invention provides a fishing swivel with an internal rattle, comprising: an assembly that causes a tubular body to move axially within a body during casting and fishing actions and to collide with a hammer of a ring-shaped component to produce sound;

[0032] The components include:

[0033] A hollow body having through holes formed at its two ends and an internal space;

[0034] A tubular body, which is axially movable and built into the space of the body;

[0035] A pair of annular components, each including a neck axially supported in a through-hole on both sides of the body, the ends of the necks being formed as hammers, the tubular body colliding with the hammers and being rotatably connected to the body.

[0036] The present invention also provides a fishing swivel with an internal rattle, comprising:

[0037] An assembly that causes the tubular body to move axially within the body during casting and fishing actions and to collide with the hammer of the annular component to produce sound.

[0038] The components include:

[0039] A hollow body, which has through holes formed at both ends and an internal space;

[0040] One or a pair of beads, which are embedded in the body, have an outer diameter to an inner diameter ratio of 0.88 to 0.93.

[0041] An annular component includes a neck axially supported in the through hole, the end of the neck being formed as a hammer and rotatably connected to the body.

[0042] Furthermore, the present invention also attempts to provide a fishing swivel with an internal rattle, wherein by employing a variety of structures and materials, the rattle housed in the internal space emits a sound of optimal volume.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fishing swivel with an internal rattle includes: a body having through holes formed at both ends and an internal space; a tubular body axially movable within the space of the body; and an annular member wherein a neck is pivotally supported in the through holes at both ends of the body, and the ends of the neck are formed as hammers.

[0044] In the above-described feature configuration of the present invention, one or both necks of the annular member connected to the two through holes of the body can be configured to be supported by a retainer mounted around the through holes of the body. At the same time, the neck can be configured to be supported by a ball bearing, which is configured to have a plurality of balls embedded between the retainer and the hammer portion of the neck.

[0045] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, the tubular body can be barrel-shaped, with both ends open and the diameter gradually decreasing from the middle to both ends.

[0046] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the tubular body built into the main body can be configured such that both ends are open and only a bead is attached to the outside of the tubular body, or together with the bead on the outside, a bead is also attached to the inside of the tubular body.

[0047] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, the tubular body built into the space of the main body may have at least one bead or a pair of beads built into it, and the two ends of the tubular body may be sealed by a seal made of metal ball or thermoplastic resin.

[0048] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, the tubular body built into the space of the main body can be a bottom injection molded product, wherein an inner bead is built into it, and the opening on one side of the tubular body cooperates with an injection molded cap used as a sealant, and the tubular body and the injection molded cap are joined by ultrasonic welding.

[0049] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, a main body and another main body can be connected in series by a connector. The main body has a tubular body with a bead built into its inner side, and the other main body has a tubular body with a bead built into its inner side, and an additional bead built into its outer side.

[0050] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, a pair of main bodies connected in series by a connector can also achieve the following configuration, wherein a pair of beads are simultaneously built into the inner side of the open tubular body built into each internal space.

[0051] Furthermore, in the characteristic construction of this invention, the beads may be made of one of tungsten, stainless steel, plastic or ceramic.

[0052] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, the tubular body may be made of any one of ABS resin, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, impact-resistant polystyrene, No. 6 nylon, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, polyacetal resin or polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0053] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, the thermoplastic resin used to close the end of the tubular body can be a polyacetal resin.

[0054] Furthermore, in the characteristic structure of the present invention, although the outer diameter of the bead is not particularly limited, the ratio of the outer diameter to the maximum inner diameter of the tubular body can be in the range of 0.8 to 0.89, and the ratio of the maximum outer diameter of the tubular body to the inner diameter of the body can be in the range of 0.88 to 0.93.

[0055] Furthermore, the present invention can also achieve the following structure, wherein the hollow body can have through holes formed on both sides and an internal space, and one or a pair of beads can be placed in the space of the body, the outer diameter of the beads being in the range of 0.88 to 0.93 times the inner diameter of the body, the neck of the annular component being located in the through hole of the body in an axially supported manner, and the end forming a blunt hammer portion.

[0056] According to the fishing swivel with internal rattles of the present invention, during casting and fishing operations, the open tubular body inside the main body of the swivel connected to the fishing line will generate axial movement, and its two ends will collide with the corresponding ring-shaped component or the neck hammer of the ball bearing, respectively, to generate a sound to attract the attention of fish, thereby attracting fish with sound.

[0057] This effect is equivalent to the fish-attracting effect obtained by using conventional fishing rattles, but the advantage of the present invention is that even using only a basic fishing rig that connects the sinker, lure, hook, etc. to a swivel without existing rattles, the fish-attracting effect can be achieved by using rattles during fishing.

[0058] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the fishing swivel with an internal rattle generates a rattle that attracts fish when the barrel-shaped tubular body, which moves axially and is built into the main body, collides with the hammer in the annular structure. And because the tubular body has a barrel-shaped cross-section, the vibration waves generated along its surface will exhibit different wavelengths depending on the position, thereby causing wave interference (wave interference: for information on the physical phenomenon of wave interference, please refer to the accompanying English version of the sound interference document) and thus producing a sound of considerable volume.

[0059] Furthermore, in the fishing swivel with internal rattles of the present invention, by using a tubular body with metal balls or thermoplastic resin to seal both ends and with beads built inside, two types of collision sounds can be generated simultaneously. When the tubular body collides with the hammer inside the main body, and when the beads collide with the two ends inside the tubular body, these two collision sounds coexist and generate wave interference, which can produce a sound with a considerable volume.

[0060] Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate specific embodiments of the present disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0072] Figure 12 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram showing a seventh embodiment of the fishing swivel with an internal rattle ball according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0073] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] However, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of how the present invention can be implemented in various forms.

[0075] Therefore, the details disclosed in the specification should not be regarded as limitations, but should be understood as merely a basis for advising those skilled in the art on how to manufacture and / or use the invention.

[0076] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing a first embodiment of the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention, wherein the main body 2 of the fishing swivel has a space 4 and a structure with through holes 6 formed at both ends thereon.

[0077] The through hole 6 is actually formed by plastic deformation of the end of the tubular main material through a tube drawing process.

[0078] More specifically, before processing, the neck 10 of the annular component 8 is inserted into one end of the main body 2, and then the end is pressed with a processing tool while rotating to cause plastic deformation, thereby causing the end of the main body 2 to shrink and deform into a through hole 6, which supports the neck 10 and pivotally supports the annular component 8.

[0079] The portion of the neck 10 of the annular component 8 facing the inside of the main body 2 forms a blunt hammer portion 12, and a tubular body 14 is built into the space 4 of the main body 2.

[0080] In this embodiment, the tubular body 14 is open and unsealed at both ends, and its shape is barrel-shaped with the diameter gradually decreasing from the middle to both ends.

[0081] In the barrel-shaped tubular body 14, the maximum outer diameter is preferably set to a size slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the main body 2, preferably (though not particularly limited) in the range of 0.82 to 0.93.

[0082] Therefore, the tubular body 14 will not tilt laterally when it reciprocates within the main body 2, so that the entire end surface can contact the hammer 12.

[0083] The method of using the fishing swivel with internal rattle of the present invention is similar to that of the conventional method, wherein one side of the ring-shaped component 8 is attached to the fishing line, and the other side is connected to the fishing rig equipped with sinker, lure, hook, etc.

[0084] Anglers manipulate the fishing rod using techniques such as jumping, jerking, yanking, shaking, and dragging (like walking a dog) to make the lure exhibit actions appropriate to its type in order to attract fish. Whenever such actions are performed, the fishing swivel with an internal rattle, according to the present invention, produces a sound that attracts fish.

[0085] In this embodiment, the tubular body 14 reciprocates axially within the body 2, and its entire end collides with the hammer portion 12 of the corresponding neck 10, thereby resonating with appropriate vibration to produce a clicking sound.

[0086] The resonance phenomenon of this type of tubular body 14 will generate vibration waves with different wavelengths at different positions on its surface, thereby triggering wave interference effect and producing a sound with a considerable volume.

[0087] Therefore, when using the fishing swivel with an internal rattle according to the present invention, the sound generated by the collision between the tubular body 14 and the hammer 12 can be used to attract fish. Its advantage is that even fishing tackle without the existing rattle can achieve the effect of attracting fish with sound.

[0088] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram illustrating an improved example of a fishing swivel with an internal rattle ball related to the present invention.

[0089] The main body 2 of this embodiment also has an internal space 4 and a barrel-shaped open tubular body 14 built therein. An annular component 8 of the main body 2 has the following structure, wherein a neck 10 supported on the through hole 6 and a hammer 12 located at the end are integrally provided. The only difference is that the neck 10 of the opposite annular component 8 is supported by a ball bearing, that is, it penetrates and supports the retainer 18. The retainer 18 and the hammer 12 together support the ball 16.

[0090] An example of the improvement in the structure shown is that, since one of the ring components 8 is supported by a ball bearing, the relative pivoting between the two ring components 8 is smoother and gentler, making it particularly suitable for catching large fish that cause the fishing line to tangle sharply when caught, and achieving the effect of attracting fish with sound without the need for conventional rattles in the same manner as in the embodiment.

[0091] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a second embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention, and shows that in Figure 2 An example of a structure shown is in which a bead 20 is additionally housed within the space 4 of the built-in tubular body 14, and the bead 20 is mounted on the outside of the tubular body 14. In this embodiment, the bead 20 is made of stainless steel.

[0092] In this way, the tubular body 14 and the bead 20 are present simultaneously in the space 4 of the main body 2, resulting in three types of collision sounds when the fishing rod moves: between the hammer 12 and the tubular body 14, between the hammer 12 and the bead 20, and between the tubular body 14 and the bead 20. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference, thereby producing a sound with a considerable volume.

[0093] Therefore, it has the same advantages as the above embodiments, because it can achieve the effect of attracting fish with sound without the need to use a separate existing rattle during fishing.

[0094] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an improved example of a second embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention, showing the following example, wherein, Figure 3 In the construction of the fishing swivel shown, an inner bead 20a is additionally installed inside the tubular body 14, and another annular component 8 is supported by a ball bearing. In this embodiment, the bead 20 is made of stainless steel, and the inner bead 20a is made of tungsten.

[0095] In this structure, when the beads 20, the tubular body 14 and the inner beads 20a are arranged together in the space 4 of the main body 2, four types of collision sounds are generated during the action of the fishing rod: between the hammer 12 and the tubular body 14, between the beads 20 and the tubular body 14, between the tubular body 14 and the inner beads 20a, and between the hammer 12 and the inner beads 20a. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference, thereby producing a sound with a considerable volume.

[0096] Therefore, even without separately loading regular rattles into the fishing tackle, it still has an excellent effect of attracting fish with sound during fishing, and the ball bearings can effectively prevent the fishing line from tangling, making it particularly suitable for catching large fish.

[0097] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a third embodiment of the fishing swivel with an internal bead according to the present invention. Unlike the tubular body 14 shown in the first embodiment described above, this embodiment has a structure in which an inner bead 20a is internally housed within the tubular body 14, and both sides of the tubular body 14 are sealed by seals 22. In this embodiment, the seals 22 are metal balls. Similarly, in this embodiment, the inner bead 20a is made of tungsten.

[0098] This type of fishing swivel with an internal rattle produces two types of collision sounds during rod movement: between the two hammers 12 and the two seals 22 made of corresponding metal balls, and between the two seals 22 of the tubular body 14 and the inner bead 20a. These two types of collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference and thus producing a fairly loud sound.

[0099] Therefore, even without separately loading the existing rattles into the fishing tackle, it still has an excellent effect of attracting fish with sound during fishing, thus having the same advantages as the above embodiments.

[0100] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an improved example of a third embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle ball of the present invention. Figure 5 Compared to the structure shown, this embodiment is configured to house a pair of inner beads 20a within the tubular body 14. The difference lies in that the neck 10 of an annular member 8 is formed as a retainer 18 integral with the body 2, thereby supporting the balls 16 together with the hammer 12, thus forming a ball bearing structure. In this embodiment, the pair of inner beads 20a are made of plastic (i.e., polyacetal resin).

[0101] This type of fishing swivel with internal rattles produces three types of collision sounds during rod movement: between the outer sides of the two hammers 12 and the seal 22, between the inner side of the seal 22 in the tubular body 14 and the pair of beads 20a, and between the pair of beads 20a. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference, thus producing a fairly loud sound.

[0102] Therefore, even without separately loading the existing rattles into the fishing tackle, the effect of attracting fish with sound can be achieved, thereby obtaining the same advantages as the above embodiments.

[0103] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another improved example of a third embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention.

[0104] This embodiment illustrates an example in which an inner bead 20a is embedded within a tubular body 14, and polyacetal resin, a thermoplastic synthetic resin, is used as the sealant 22 at both ends. In this embodiment, the inner bead 20a is made of ceramic.

[0105] It is very simple to seal both ends of the tubular body 14 with polyacetal resin, because it only requires heating and pressurizing the synthetic resin. Since its material properties are close to those of metal, it will produce a sound similar to metal collision whenever it collides with the hammer 12 or the inner bead 20a.

[0106] In this embodiment, a ring-shaped component 8 can be configured as a quick-release ring. The quick-release ring is not limited to the form shown in the illustration; any shape is acceptable as long as it conforms to common standards in the fishing tackle industry. This design facilitates convenient lure installation.

[0107] The fishing swivel with internal rattles, during the action of the fishing rod, produces two types of collision sounds due to the contact between the outer surfaces of the seals 22 and the contact between the inner surface of the seals 22 and the inner beads 20a in the tubular body 14. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference, thereby producing a sound with a considerable volume.

[0108] Therefore, even without the existing rattles, the fishing tackle can still attract fish with sound, thus having the same advantages as the above embodiments.

[0109] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a fourth embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention. In this embodiment, with Figure 7 Similar to the embodiment, seals 22 are formed at both ends of the tubular body 14 by hot pressing polyacetal resin, but the difference is that a pair of inner beads 20a are built into the tubular body 14, and an annular component 8 is supported by a ball bearing. In this embodiment, the pair of inner beads 20a are made of tungsten and stainless steel.

[0110] This fishing swivel with internal rattles produces three types of collision sounds during rod movement: between the outer surfaces of the two hammers 12 and the two seals 22, between a pair of inner beads 20a in the tubular body 14 and the inner surfaces of the corresponding seals 22, and between the pair of inner beads 20a and each other. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference and producing a fairly loud sound. In addition, the ball bearing design effectively prevents the fishing line from tangling, making it suitable for catching large fish.

[0111] Therefore, even without the existing rattles, the fishing tackle can still attract fish with sound, thus having the same advantages as the above embodiments.

[0112] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a fifth embodiment of the fishing swivel with an internal rattle ball according to the present invention.

[0113] In this embodiment, the tubular body 14 includes an inner bead 20a, which is made of a bottom injection-molded product, with one end open and configured to have a similarly injection-molded cap as a seal 22, and is ultrasonically bonded. In this embodiment, the inner bead 20a is made of plastic.

[0114] The bottom-injection molded tubular body 14 is suitable for manufacturing small-diameter swivels. Similar to fishing swivels with internal rattles of this construction, during rod movement, two types of collision sounds are generated due to contact: between the hammer 12 and the bottom of the tubular body 14 or the seal 22 formed by the cap, and between the bottom of the tubular body 14 and the inner bead 20a, or between the inner surface of the cap formed by the seal 22 and the inner bead 20a. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference, thereby producing a fairly loud sound. Therefore, even without separately filling the fishing tackle with existing rattles, excellent fish-attracting effects with sound can be achieved, thus having the same advantages as the embodiments described above.

[0115] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a sixth embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention.

[0116] This embodiment shows the following structure, in which two main bodies 2a and 2b are connected by a connector 24. One main body 2a has a barrel-shaped tubular body 14, and an inner bead 20a is built into the tubular body 14. The other main body 2b, connected by the connector 24, also has a barrel-shaped tubular body 14, and an inner bead 20a is built into the tubular body 14. Beads 20 are also built into the space 4 on the outside of the main bodies.

[0117] In the example shown, the tubular body 14 is open at both ends, similar to the first embodiment described above.

[0118] In addition, the two ends of the connector 24 extend inward through the through holes 6 of each body 2a and 2b and are supported by a shaft, with both ends forming a hammer 26.

[0119] This fishing swivel with an internal rattle generates three types of collision sounds in one body 2a during rod movement: between the hammer 12 of the ring-shaped component 8 and the tubular body 14, between the hammer 26 of the connector 24 and the tubular body 14, and between the inner side of the tubular body 14 and the inner bead 20a. Simultaneously, in the other body 2b, four types of collision sounds are generated due to contact: between the hammer 26 of the connector 24 and the bead 20, between the tubular body 14 and the inner bead 20a, and between the hammer 12 of the ring-shaped component 8. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference and producing a considerably loud sound. Therefore, even without a rattle, the fishing tackle can achieve the effect of attracting fish with sound, thus possessing the same advantages as the embodiments described above.

[0120] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an improved example of a sixth embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention.

[0121] This embodiment also shows a structure in which two main bodies 2a and 2b are connected by a connector 24. The structure further shows that one main body 2a has a barrel-shaped tubular body 14 containing a pair of inner beads 20a, and the other main body 2b, connected by the connector 24, also has a barrel-shaped tubular body 14 containing a pair of inner beads 20a. Furthermore, beads 20 are housed within the space 4 outside the main bodies. In this embodiment, both ends of the connector 24 are also formed as hammer portions 12.

[0122] This fishing swivel with internal rattles generates four types of collision sounds during rod movement: between the hammer 12 of the ring-shaped component 8 and the tubular body 14 in one body 2a, between the hammer 26 of the connector 24 and the tubular body 14, between the tubular body 14 and the paired inner beads 20a, and between the inner beads 20; and between the hammer 26 of the connector 24 and the beads 20 in the space 4, between the tubular body 14 and the paired inner beads 20a, and between the inner beads 20a in another body 2b. These collision sounds mix together, causing wave interference and producing a fairly loud sound. Therefore, even without existing rattles, the fishing tackle can achieve the effect of attracting fish with sound, thus having the same advantages as the embodiments described above.

[0123] In the above embodiments, the synthetic resin constituting the tubular body may be selected from one of ABS resin, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, impact-resistant polystyrene, No. 6 nylon, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, polyacetal resin, and polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0124] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a seventh embodiment related to the fishing swivel with an internal rattle of the present invention.

[0125] The fishing swivel shown has a space 4 on its inner side, with through holes 6 formed at both ends. These through holes 6 axially support the neck 10 of the ring-shaped component 8. The space 4 has a structure in which a bead 20 is built in for free movement. In this embodiment, the bead 20 is made of stainless steel.

[0126] This fishing swivel with an internal rattle produces a loud clicking sound each time the bead 20 collides with the hammer 12 of the ring-shaped component 8 during rod movement, attracting fish. Therefore, even without a rattle, the fishing tackle can achieve the same effect of attracting fish with sound, offering the same advantages as the embodiments described above.

[0127] Regarding the above embodiments, it is preferable to set the ratio of the outer diameter of the tubular body 14 to the inner diameter of the main bodies 2, 2a and 2b, or the ratio of the outer diameter of the bead 20, and the ratio of the outer diameter of the bead 20 to the inner diameter of the tubular body 14 to produce an ideal clicking sound.

[0128] Table 1 below lists the values ​​related to the inner diameters of the bodies 2, 2a and 2b, the outer diameter of the tubular body 14, and the outer diameters of the beads 20 and 20a in each embodiment, thereby showing the ideal ratio relationship; however, the present invention is not limited to this ratio.

[0136] E: Proportional value E1: C1 / B2 E2: D / C2 E3: C3 / B3

[0137] In Table 1 above, sample data related to the sixth embodiment and its improvements have been omitted.

[0138] As can be seen from Table 1 above, the ratio of the outer diameter of the tubular body to the inner diameter of the main body is 0.82 to 0.93, the ratio of the diameter of the bead to the inner diameter of the tubular body is 0.8 to 0.9, and the ratio of the total length of the tubular body to the total length of the main body is 0.4 to 0.6.

[0139] The samples from the above embodiments and improvements were connected to fishing lines and placed in water, then swung up and down while the sound was measured. The Reson TC4013 from Beijing Zhihong Hengtuo Technology Co., Ltd. was used as the acoustic device for measurement, and the collected data was analyzed using SignalLAB.EARInstaller software from Wuhan Xingge Technology Co., Ltd.

[0140] The acoustic analysis results are shown in Table 2 below, presented in volume (decibels) for each embodiment.

[0141] (Table 2)

[0142]

[0143]

[0144] As can be seen from Table 2 above, among the fishing rings with internal rattles related to this invention, the samples of the third and fourth embodiments produce the loudest sound, followed by the seventh embodiment, while the sounds produced by the first, second, and fifth embodiments are relatively slightly lower. However, since these results are related to the specifications and materials of the body, tubular body, and beads, it is difficult to determine which embodiment is superior. But it can be confirmed that the sound produced by these embodiments is not significantly lower than the sound produced by existing commercially available rattle units.

[0145] Therefore, even when using a fishing swivel with an internal rattle as described in this invention, the sound it produces during fishing is sufficient to attract fish, so the fish-attracting effect of the rattle can be expected even without an existing rattle unit.

[0146] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described. However, it should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited by these disclosures, but is intended to cover all possible modifications and alternative structures within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
