Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a lure. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a lure is known that shifts its center of gravity by moving a spherical weight during casting and after entry into the water (see Patent Document 1). The weight is disposed within the lure body so as to be movable in the lure's front-to-back direction.

[0006] [Technical problem to be solved by the utility model]

[0007] Generally, in a structure that moves the center of gravity of a lure by moving a spherical weight, there is a technical problem that the number of weights is about one to three, and as the diameter of the weight increases, the center of gravity of the lure increases.

[0008] The technical problem of the present invention is to provide an artificial bait capable of suppressing the center of gravity of the artificial bait from becoming higher in water.

[0009] [Technical solutions for solving technical problems]

[0010] The first embodiment of the present invention comprises a lure body, a first housing portion, a second housing portion, a connecting passage, and a plurality of counterweights. The lure body extends in the front-to-back direction. The first housing portion is disposed inside the lure body. The second housing portion is disposed inside the lure body at a position forward of the first housing portion. The connecting passage connects the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The plurality of counterweights can be moved from the first housing portion to the second housing portion through the connecting passage. The plurality of counterweights includes a first counterweight and a second counterweight. When the plurality of counterweights are housed in the second housing portion, the second counterweight overlaps with the first counterweight when viewed from the left and right directions.

[0011] In this artificial bait, when multiple counterweights are accommodated in the second accommodating portion, the first counterweight and the second counterweight overlap when viewed from the left and right directions. Therefore, the total number of counterweights accommodated in the second accommodating portion can be increased by reducing the ball diameter of the multiple counterweights. Accordingly, for example, even if the total weight of the multiple counterweights is the same as that of the prior art, the center of gravity of the artificial bait can be lowered compared to the prior art when the multiple counterweights are accommodated in the second accommodating portion. As a result, the center of gravity of the artificial bait in the water can be prevented from becoming higher. In addition, since the center of gravity of the artificial bait can be prevented from becoming higher, the roll axis of the swimming vibration of the artificial bait can also be suppressed to be lower. Accordingly, when the fishing line is reeled in, the rolling motion of the artificial bait can be expected to become larger.

[0012] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the second housing portion of the lure of the second aspect of the present invention can accommodate multiple weights in an array. In this case, the total number of weights accommodated in the second housing portion can be further increased. Alternatively, the dimension of the second housing portion in the front-to-back direction can be reduced.

[0013] According to the first or second aspect of the present invention, the lure of the third aspect of the present invention further comprises a lubricant for suppressing friction between the plurality of weights and the connecting passage. In this case, the movement of the plurality of weights in the connecting passage becomes smooth.

[0014] According to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, the fourth aspect of the present invention includes a connecting passage for the lure, wherein the connecting passage is disposed adjacent to the first receiving portion and guides the movement of the plurality of counterweights. The connecting passage includes an upper surface that tilts downward as it approaches the front. In this case, the plurality of counterweights can move smoothly when moving from the first receiving portion to the second receiving portion.

[0015] According to any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, the guide portion of the lure of the fifth aspect of the present invention further includes a lower surface portion, the lower surface portion being arranged below the upper surface portion and tilted upward as it approaches the front. In this case, it is possible to prevent the plurality of weights from moving from the first receiving portion to the second receiving portion against the angler's intention.

[0016] According to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, the lure connection passage of the sixth aspect of the present invention includes a raised portion, which is disposed adjacent to the second receiving portion and guides the plurality of weights upward. In this case, the plurality of weights can be prevented from moving from the second receiving portion to the first receiving portion against the angler's intention.

[0017] According to any one of the first to sixth aspects of the present invention, the second housing portion of the lure of the seventh aspect of the present invention includes a top portion that restricts the upward movement of the plurality of weights. In this case, for example, the top portion can prevent the center of gravity of the lure from rising in the water.

[0018] [Effects of the utility model]

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lure capable of suppressing an increase in the center of gravity position in water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Hereinafter, the artificial bait according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 It is the left view of the lure 1. Figure 1 As shown, the lure 1 includes a lure body 2 , a line eye 3 , front hooks 4 and 5 , and a rear hook 6 .

[0028] In addition, in this specification, the terms indicating directions such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", and "down" mean that in the lure 1, the direction in which the lure 1 is pulled by the fishing line is defined as "front", the direction toward the water surface when the lure 1 is moving forward in the water is defined as "up", and the direction toward the bottom of the water is defined as "down". For example, in Figure 1 In Figure 1 Set the left side of to "front", Figure 1 Set the right side of to "back", Figure 1 Set the upper side of to "up", Figure 1 Set the lower side of to "down", Figure 1 Set the front side of the paper to "Left", Figure 1 Set the paper depth side to "right".

[0029] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the lure 1 cut along a plane perpendicular to the left-right direction. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the lure 1 cut along a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the lure 1 cut along a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

[0030] The lure body 2 extends in the front-back direction. The lure body 2 is hollow and has an internal space. The lure body 2 is made of resin and is formed by joining two parts divided into left and right parts.

[0031] The lure body 2 includes a head 7, a tail 8, and a lip 9. The head 7 is located at the front of the lure body 2. The tail 8 is located at the rear of the lure body 2. The lip 9 is connected to the head 7. The lip 9 protrudes forward from the head 7. When viewed from the side, the lip 9 extends forward and downward from the lower portion of the head 7. When the lure 1 is pulled forward in the water by the fishing line, the lip 9 withstands the resistance of the water, causing the lure 1 to assume a forward-leaning position.

[0032] The wire loop 3, front hook loops 4, 5, and rear hook loop 6 are formed by bending a single metal wire. The wire loop 3, front hook loops 4, 5, and rear hook loop 6 are exposed from the lure body 2. A fishing line (not shown) is connected to the wire loop 3. A hook (not shown) is attached to each of the front hook loops 4, 5, and rear hook loop 6.

[0033] The lure 1 includes a first housing portion 11 , a second housing portion 12 , a connecting passage 13 , and a plurality of weights 14 .

[0034] The first housing portion 11 can accommodate a plurality of weights 14. The first housing portion 11 is disposed within the lure body 2. The first housing portion 11 is disposed within the tail portion 8. The first housing portion 11 extends in the front-to-back direction. The first housing portion 11 is formed such that its vertical dimension increases as it approaches the front.

[0035] The first housing portion 11 includes an upper surface portion 11a and a lower surface portion 11b. The upper surface portion 11a is inclined upward as it approaches the front. The lower surface portion 11b is disposed below the upper surface portion 11a. The lower surface portion 11b is inclined downward as it approaches the front.

[0036] The second receiving portion 12 can accommodate a plurality of counterweights 14 in an array. The second receiving portion 12 is arranged inside the lure body 2. The second receiving portion 12 is arranged at a position forward of the first receiving portion 11. The second receiving portion 12 is arranged inside the head portion 7. The second receiving portion 12 is arranged above the front connecting shackle 4. The second receiving portion 12 extends in the front-to-back direction. The dimension of the second receiving portion 12 in the vertical direction is smaller than the dimension of the first receiving portion 11 in the vertical direction. The front end of the second receiving portion 12 is formed so that the dimension in the left-right direction becomes smaller as it approaches the front.

[0037] The second housing portion 12 includes a top portion 12a and a bottom portion 12b. The top portion 12a restricts upward movement of the plurality of counterweights 14. The top portion 12a extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the vertical direction. The top portion 12a is positioned below the upper surface portion 11a of the first housing portion 11. The bottom portion 12b is positioned below the top portion 12a. The bottom portion 12b extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the vertical direction. The bottom portion 12b is generally parallel to the top portion 12a.

[0038] The connecting passage 13 is disposed within the lure body 2 between the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12. The connecting passage 13 connects the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12. The connecting passage 13 extends in the front-to-back direction and is disposed above the front connecting shackle 5.

[0039] The connecting channel 13 includes a guide portion 21, a rising portion 22, and an intermediate portion 23. The guide portion 21 is positioned adjacent to the first receiving portion 11. The guide portion 21 extends in the front-to-back direction. The guide portion 21 guides the movement of the plurality of counterweights 14. The guide portion 21 guides the movement of the plurality of counterweights 14 in the front-to-back direction. The guide portion 21 is formed such that its vertical dimension decreases as it approaches the front. The guide portion 21 is positioned above the front connecting shackle 5.

[0040] The guide portion 21 includes an upper surface portion 21a and a lower surface portion 21b. The upper surface portion 21a is connected to the upper surface portion 11a of the first receiving portion 11. The upper surface portion 21a tilts downward as it approaches the front. The lower surface portion 21b is located below the upper surface portion 21a. The lower surface portion 21b is connected to the lower surface portion 11b of the first receiving portion 11. The lower surface portion 21b tilts upward as it approaches the front.

[0041] The rising portion 22 is disposed adjacent to the second housing portion 12. The rising portion 22 extends in the vertical direction. The rising portion 22 guides the plurality of counterweights 14 upward. Specifically, the rising portion 22 guides the plurality of counterweights 14 upward when the plurality of counterweights 14 move from the second housing portion 12 to the first housing portion 11.

[0042] The upright portion 22 includes a front surface portion 22a and a rear surface portion 22b. The front surface portion 22a is connected to the top portion 12a. The front surface portion 22a is inclined upward and rearward from the rear end of the top portion 12a. The rear surface portion 22b is located further rearward than the front surface portion 22a. The rear surface portion 22b is connected to the bottom portion 12b. The rear surface portion 22b includes a first portion extending upward from the rear end of the bottom portion 12b, and a second portion inclined upward and rearward from the first portion.

[0043] The middle portion 23 is disposed between the guide portion 21 and the rising portion 22. The middle portion 23 is connected to the guide portion 21 and the rising portion 22. The middle portion 23 extends in the front-back direction. The middle portion 23 tilts upward as it approaches the front.

[0044] The plurality of weights 14 can be moved from the first housing portion 11 to the second housing portion 12 through the connecting passage 13. The plurality of weights 14 can be moved from the second housing portion 12 to the first housing portion 11 through the connecting passage 13. The plurality of weights 14 are spherical. The diameter of the spheres of the plurality of weights 14 is set, for example, according to the shape of the lure.

[0045] Figure 5 1 is a diagram for explaining a state in which a plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodating portion 11. Figure 5 As shown, during casting, the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodation portion 11 due to centrifugal force. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodation portion 11, at least a portion of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlaps with one another when viewed from the left and right directions. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the first accommodation portion 11, at least a portion of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlaps with one another when viewed from the top and bottom directions.

[0046] After casting, when the lure 1 is pulled forward in the water by the fishing line, the lip 9 receives water resistance and tilts the lure 1 forward, thereby allowing the plurality of weights 14 to move from the first housing portion 11 to the second housing portion 12 through the connecting passage 13 .

[0047] When the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, at least a portion of the plurality of counterweights 14 overlaps when viewed from the left-right direction. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, the plurality of counterweights 14 do not overlap when viewed from the top-bottom direction. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, each of the plurality of counterweights 14 can contact the bottom surface portion 12b.

[0048] In this embodiment, the total number of the plurality of counterweights 14 is 11. The plurality of counterweights 14 includes a first counterweight 14a and a second counterweight 14b. The second counterweight 14b is adjacent to the first counterweight 14a in the left-right direction. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating portion 12, the second counterweight 14b overlaps with the first counterweight 14a when viewed from the left-right direction. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are accommodated in the second accommodating portion 12, the second counterweight 14b is arranged in the left-right direction with the first counterweight 14a. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, the plurality of counterweights 14 are arranged linearly in two rows in the front-to-back direction, excluding the third counterweight 14c located at the front. When the plurality of counterweights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12, the third counterweight 14c overlaps the first counterweight 14a and the second counterweight 14b when viewed from the left-right direction.

[0049] When housed in the first housing portion 11, at least a portion of the plurality of weights 14 is positioned above the plurality of weights 14 when housed in the second housing portion 12. The center of gravity of the lure when the plurality of weights 14 are housed in the second housing portion 12 is positioned below the center of gravity of the lure when the plurality of weights 14 are housed in the first housing portion 11. In other words, the center of gravity of the lure 1 moves downward in response to the movement of the plurality of weights 14 from the first housing portion 11 to the second housing portion 12.

[0050] In the lure 1 with the above structure, when the multiple counterweights 14 are housed in the second receiving section 12, the first counterweight 14a and the second counterweight 14b overlap when viewed from the left and right. Therefore, by reducing the ball diameter of the multiple counterweights 14, the total number of counterweights 14 housed in the second receiving section 12 can be increased. Consequently, even if the total weight of the multiple counterweights 14 remains the same as in the prior art, the center of gravity of the lure 1, when the multiple counterweights 14 are housed in the second receiving section 12, can be lowered compared to the prior art. As a result, the center of gravity of the lure 1 in the water can be prevented from rising. Furthermore, since the center of gravity of the lure 1 can be prevented from rising, the roll axis of the lure's swimming vibration can be kept low. Consequently, when the fishing line is reeled in, the rolling motion of the lure 1 can be expected to be greater.

[0051] <Other Implementation Methods>

[0052] As mentioned above, although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The lure 1 may further include a lubricant for suppressing friction between the plurality of weights 14 and the connecting passage 13. The lubricant is, for example, silicone oil, and may be sealed inside the lure body 2.

[0054] The total number of the plurality of weights 14 may also be changed. The total number of the plurality of weights 14 may also be changed, for example, according to the size of the ball diameters of the plurality of weights 14. The plurality of weights 14 may also be arranged in a staggered pattern in the second receiving portion 12.
