Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a structure of a lure with a displaced center of gravity. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of using the lure, it is required that the action of the lure in water is similar to the actual swimming of the bait fish, and it is also required that the action of the lure is easy to be realized by the operation of the fisherman. On the other hand, the swimming of the bait fish is not the same but various, so various measures are taken in the design of the lure in the prior art to generate irregular action by the operation of the fisherman.

[0003] In order to make the action of the lure irregular, it is sometimes required that the posture of the lure is unstable. Therefore, in the design of the lure in the prior art, a counterweight is built in the main body of the lure, and a mechanism (center of gravity moving mechanism) in which the counterweight can roll or slide forward and backward or left and right is adopted (for example, refer to patent document 1 and patent document 2).

[0004] [Prior Art Document]

[0006] Patent document 1: Japanese utility model patent publication No. 3124012

[0007] Patent document 2: Japanese patent publication No. 3905723 Utility Model Content

[0008] [Technical Problem to be Solved by the Utility Model]

[0009] In the center of gravity moving mechanism in the prior art, the counterweight moves freely along the track formed in the inside of the main body of the lure. Accordingly, no matter how the fisherman operates, the lure will act irregularly.

[0010] However, in the center of gravity moving mechanism in the prior art, even in the case where the fisherman wants to make the lure straight forward (straight in), the counterweight will move left and right, resulting in the loss of straight in due to the unstable posture of the lure.

[0011] The utility model is completed based on the background, and the purpose is to provide a lure which can simply and selectively reproduce the action similar to the real bait fish by the operation of the fisherman.

[0012] [Technical Solution for Solving the Technical Problem]

[0013] (1) To solve the above technical problem, the artificial bait of the first mode of the present application has an artificial bait main body, a hammer, and a support mechanism, wherein a line eye is provided in the front direction of the artificial bait main body and a hook eye is provided in the rear direction; the hammer is built in the artificial bait main body; the support mechanism supports the hammer in a manner that the hammer is freely slidable in a lateral direction intersecting the front-rear direction, and the hammer is always located in the center of the lateral direction.

[0014] According to this structure, the hammer built in the artificial bait main body can easily slide in the lateral direction, and thus, by the movement of the hammer, the center of gravity of the artificial bait main body can easily shift in the lateral direction. Therefore, the angler can easily destabilize the posture of the artificial bait, for example, at a sudden pull (an operation of a fishing rod and a fishing reel performed by the angler for irregularly changing the direction and speed of the artificial bait). On the other hand, the hammer is forced to be located in the center of the lateral direction by the support mechanism, and thus, the center of gravity of the artificial bait main body moves to the center, for example, at a constant speed of retraction, and the angler can easily stabilize the posture of the artificial bait. As a result, by the operation of the angler, the action similar to that of a bait fish can be selectively and easily reproduced.

[0015] (2) In the artificial bait of the second mode according to the first mode of the present application, the support mechanism has a support shaft and a pair of elastic members, wherein the support shaft extends in the lateral direction inside the artificial bait main body and penetrates the hammer; the elastic members are arranged on the left and right sides of the hammer and the inner wall of the artificial bait main body.

[0016] In this structure, the hammer is supported by the support shaft extending in the lateral direction while sliding along the support shaft. Therefore, the hammer can smoothly move in this direction, the shift of the center of gravity is rapid, and the posture of the artificial bait is extremely unstable at a sudden pull. On the other hand, the hammer is in a state of being sandwiched by the elastic members from both sides of the lateral direction, and thus, even if it slides along the support shaft, it rapidly returns to the central side of the support shaft and elastically maintains this state. Therefore, the posture of the artificial bait is extremely stable at a constant speed of retraction.

[0017] (3) In the artificial bait of the third mode according to the second mode of the present application, the elastic member is a coil spring, and the support shaft penetrates and supports the coil spring.

[0018] In this structure, the hammer is supported by a simple structure and is effectively forced to the central side.

[0019] (4) In the artificial bait of the fourth mode according to any one of the first to third modes of the present application, the hammer is supported at a position higher than an imaginary reference line connecting the line eye and the hook eye.

[0020] In this structure, the center of gravity of the lure is located relatively above the lure main body. Accordingly, when the lure is jerked, the posture of the lure becomes more unstable.

[0021] (5) In the lure according to the fifth aspect of the first aspect of the present application, the weight is composed of a magnetic body. The support mechanism has a support shaft extending in the lateral direction inside the lure main body and penetrating the weight, and a magnet applying a force to the weight toward the center of the lure main body by magnetic force.

[0022] In this structure, the weight is supported by the support shaft in the lateral direction and slides along the support shaft. Therefore, the weight can be smoothly moved in this direction, the displacement of the center of gravity is rapid, and the posture of the lure when jerked is extremely unstable. On the other hand, the weight is applied a force toward the center of the lure main body by magnetic force. Therefore, the weight rapidly returns to the center side of the support shaft even if it slides along the support shaft, and remains in this state. Therefore, the posture of the lure when reeled in at a constant speed is extremely stable. In addition, the weight is applied a force by the magnetic force, and therefore, the magnet does not need to be provided on the support shaft. Therefore, the stroke of the weight (i.e., the amount of movement along the support shaft) becomes large, and the posture of the lure when jerked becomes more unstable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, this embodiment is merely one method of the lure involved in the present invention, and variations in the embodiment are permitted without altering the spirit of the present invention.

[0032] 1. Overview and characteristics of artificial lures

[0033] Figure 1 This is a perspective view showing the appearance of the lure 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] The lure 10 has a lure body 11, a line hole 12, hook eyes 13 to 15, and hooks 16 to 18.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional view of the lure body 11.

[0036] The lure body 11 is made of resin (typically acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer: ABS). However, the material constituting the lure body 11 is not limited to ABS, and other resins, known metals, etc. can also be used. The shape of the lure body 11 is not particularly limited and is designed to resemble the appearance of a sardine or other small fish (so-called baitfish).

[0037] In this instruction manual, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the forward and backward directions 19 are defined as "forward" and "front" as the direction in which the lure 10 moves when pulled by the fishing line (not shown) connected to the line hole 12. The up and down directions 20 are defined as the direction towards the water surface when the lure 10 is moving forward in the water, and the direction towards the bottom surface, "down". In the horizontal direction 21, arrow 22 indicates the right side and arrow 23 indicates the left side.

[0038] A lip 24 is formed at the front end of the lure body 11. The lip 24 is integrally formed with the lure body 11. A threading hole 12 (refer to Figure 1 ) is provided on the upper side of the lip 24. The hook eye 13 and the hook eye 14 are provided in the lower edge portion of the lure body 11 in the front-rear direction 19. That is, the threading hole 12 is provided at the front of the lure body 11, and the hook eye 13 and the hook eye 14 are provided at a position behind the threading hole 12. The hook eye 15 is provided at the rear end of the lure body 11. The specific positions of the hook eye 13 and the hook eye 14 are appropriately designed. The hook 16 is connected to the hook eye 13, the hook 17 is connected to the hook eye 14, and the hook 18 is connected to the hook eye 15.

[0039] The lure 10 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that, as shown in Figure 2 , a hammer 25 is built in the lure body 11; and the hammer 25 is supported by a support mechanism 26 to be described later, is freely slidable in the lateral direction 21 and is always elastically biased to be positioned at the center of the lure body 11. The hammer 25 is supported by the support mechanism 26, and accordingly, in actual fishing, the angler can intentionally stabilize or destabilize the posture of the lure 10 by operating the fishing rod and the reel.

[0040] 2. Structure of the lure body

[0041] Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the lure body 11.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lure body 11 has a right housing 27 and a left housing 28. That is, the lure body 11 is divided into two parts with an imaginary plane that develops in the front-rear direction 19 and the up-down direction 20 as a reference. Figure 3 The right housing 27 is shown. The right housing 27 and the left housing 28 are combined together in the lateral direction 21 to form the lure body 11. By thus dividing the lure body 11 into the right housing 27 and the left housing 28, the structure of the lure body 11 is assembled by, for example, bonding or other known methods, and thus a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0043] A right lip 29 is formed in the right housing 27, and a left lip 30 is formed in the left housing 28. The lip 24 is formed by assembling the right housing 27 and the left housing 28 together. In addition, the outer shape of the lip 24, the mounting angle with respect to the lure body 11 is not particularly limited, but since it greatly affects the behavior of the lure 10 in water, it can be appropriately designed according to the specifications and purposes.

[0044] As this Figure 3As shown, the right shell 27 has a hollow structure (shell structure). The left shell 28 also has the same structure. The required ribs 31, 32 and hook portions 33, 34 are formed inside the right shell 27. The ribs 31, 32 and hook portions 33, 34 are integrally formed with the right shell 27. The hook portion 33 has a T-shaped engaging hole 35 and a hook eye 13 (see reference). Figure 1 The hook eye 14 is inserted into the engaging hole 35. Similarly, the hook seat portion 34 also has a T-shaped engaging hole 36 into which the hook eye 14 is inserted. By combining the right housing 27 and the left housing 28 together, the hook eye 13 and the hook eye 14 are clamped and fixed by the two.

[0045] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 IV-direction view in the image.

[0046] Such as Figure 4 and Figure 3 As shown, an eye mounting portion 37 is provided at the front end of the right housing 27, and an eye mounting portion 38 is provided at the rear end of the right housing 27. In this embodiment, the eye mounting portion 37 and the eye mounting portion 38 are formed by circular recesses in the right housing 27, and the same recesses are also formed in the left housing 28. (See also: thread hole 12 and hook eye 15) Figure 1 The eye mounting portions 37 and 38 are respectively embedded in the right housing 27 and the left housing 28. By combining the right housing 27 and the left housing 28, the thread hole 12 and the hook eye 15 are clamped and fixed between them. However, the eye mounting portions 37 and 38 are not limited to circular recesses; in short, any shape that can fix the thread hole 12 and the hook eye 15 is acceptable.

[0047] In this specification, the center 39 of the eye mounting portion 37 defines the position of the thread hole 12, and the center 40 of the eye mounting portion 38 defines the position of the hook eye 15. An imaginary line 60 (equivalent to the "imaginary reference line" described in this utility model technical solution) connecting the center 39 and the center 40 is defined. As will be described later, this imaginary line 60 is a reference for indicating the position of the hammer 25.

[0048] 3. Hammer and support mechanism

[0049] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram showing the support mechanism 26, and is Figure 2 VV sectional view in the image.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 2As shown, the support mechanism 26 supports the hammer 25. The hammer 25 is in the form of a disc in this embodiment, and has a through-hole 41 provided in the center. The right end portion 73 and the left end portion 74 of the through-hole 41 gradually increase in diameter from the inside to the outside, and open to the right surface 58 and the left surface 59 of the hammer 25. That is, the right end portion 73 and the left end portion 74 are formed in a funnel shape. The functions of the right end portion 73 and the left end portion 74 will be described later. The hammer 25 is made of a lead alloy, tungsten steel, or another metal. The mass of the hammer 25 is appropriately set in accordance with the size, weight, and center of gravity of the artificial bait 10. In addition, the outer shape of the hammer 25 and the material constituting the hammer 25 are not particularly limited.

[0051] The support mechanism 26 has a support shaft 42 and coil springs 43 and 44 (corresponding to the "pair of elastic members" described in the technical solution of the present application). The support shaft 42 is composed of a solid round bar in this embodiment. However, the support shaft 42 can also have a hollow structure. The support shaft 42 is arranged with its central axis 45 along the lateral direction 21. One end portion 46 and the other end portion 47 of the support shaft 42 are supported by the right housing 27 and the left housing 28, respectively.

[0052] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the support mechanism 26 is composed of the support shaft 42 and the coil springs 43 and 44. The support shaft 42 is arranged with its central axis 45 along the lateral direction 21. The support shaft 42 is supported by the right housing 27 and the left housing 28 at one end portion 46 and the other end portion 47, respectively. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged around the support shaft 42. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged in the right housing 27 and the left housing 28, respectively. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged so as to be in contact with the support shaft 42. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged so as to be in contact with the right surface 58 and the left surface 59 of the hammer 25, respectively. Figure 5 and Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the support mechanism 26 is composed of the support shaft 42 and the coil springs 43 and 44. The support shaft 42 is arranged with its central axis 45 along the lateral direction 21. The support shaft 42 is supported by the right housing 27 and the left housing 28 at one end portion 46 and the other end portion 47, respectively. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged around the support shaft 42. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged in the right housing 27 and the left housing 28, respectively. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged so as to be in contact with the support shaft 42. The coil springs 43 and 44 are arranged so as to be in contact with the right surface 58 and the left surface 59 of the hammer 25, respectively.

[0053] The bearing portion 49 has the same structure as the bearing portion 48. The bearing portion 49 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the bearing portion 48. Therefore, the bearing portion 49 has a recess 72 that is the same as the recess 70. The recess 72 has a large-diameter portion 52 and a small-diameter portion 53, which have the same shapes as the large-diameter portion 50 and the small-diameter portion 51, respectively.

[0054] The inner diameters of the small-diameter portions 51 and 53 correspond to the outer diameter of the support shaft 42. The one end portion 46 of the support shaft 42 is inserted into the small-diameter portion 51, and the other end portion 47 of the support shaft 42 is inserted into the small-diameter portion 53. Accordingly, the support shaft 42 is arranged at a predetermined position inside the artificial bait body 11 along the lateral direction 21.

[0055] The support shaft 42 is inserted into the through-hole 41 of the hammer 25 and penetrates the hammer 25. The inner diameter of the through-hole 41 corresponds to the outer diameter of the support shaft 42. Therefore, the hammer 25 is supported by the support shaft 42 while being free to slide in the lateral direction 21 along the support shaft 42. In addition, a bushing or a bearing can be provided between the hammer 25 and the support shaft 42 in order to make the sliding of the hammer 25 smoother.

[0056] The coil spring 43 is disposed between the bearing portion 48 and the hammer 25, and the coil spring 44 is disposed between the bearing portion 49 and the hammer 25. Specifically, the coil spring 43 is fitted around the support shaft 42 on the right side 22 of the support shaft 42 (i.e., the support shaft 42 penetrates the coil spring 43). The right end portion of the coil spring 43 is inserted into the large-diameter portion 50, and the left end portion of the coil spring 43 abuts against the surface 58 of the right side of the hammer 25. That is, the coil spring 43 is disposed between the inner wall 56 of the right housing 27 (the bottom surface of the small-diameter portion 51) and the surface 58 of the right side 22 of the hammer 25.

[0057] The support shaft 42 is supported by the bearing portions 48 and 49, and accordingly, the gaps 54 and 55 are formed between the support shaft 42 and the large-diameter portions 50 and 52. The right end portion of the coil spring 43 is inserted into the gap 54 and is held by the bearing portion 48. On the other hand, the right end portion 73 of the through-hole 41 of the hammer 25 is funnel-shaped, and therefore, the left end portion of the coil spring 43 stably abuts against the hammer 25 in a state of being held by the right end portion 73. Also, the right end portion 73 can be omitted, and the inner diameter of the through-hole 41 can be constant.

[0058] Similarly, the coil spring 44 is fitted around the support shaft 42 on the left side 23 of the support shaft 42. The left end portion of the coil spring 44 is inserted into the large-diameter portion 52 (i.e., the gap 55), and the right end portion of the coil spring 43 abuts against the surface 59 of the left side of the hammer 25. That is, the coil spring 44 is disposed between the inner wall 57 of the left housing 28 (the bottom surface of the small-diameter portion 53) and the surface 59 of the left side 23 of the hammer 25 and is stably held like the coil spring 43.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the specifications of the coil spring 43 and the coil spring 44 are the same. The specifications of the coil springs 43 and 44 are appropriately designed and determined in consideration of the size and weight of the lure 10, the mass of the hammer 25, and the like. However, known elastic members can be used instead of the coil springs 43 and 44.

[0060] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the hammer 25 is disposed at a position relatively higher than the lure body 11. Specifically, the bearing portion 48 is disposed at a position higher than the imaginary line 60 (the line connecting the centers of the through-holes 41 and 42) in the vertical direction 20. In other words, the bearing portion 48 is disposed at a position higher than the center of the through-hole 41 in the vertical direction 20. Figure 4 and Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the hammer 25 is disposed at a position relatively higher than the lure body 11. Specifically, the bearing portion 48 is disposed at a position higher than the imaginary line 60 (the line connecting the centers of the through-holes 41 and 42) in the vertical direction 20. In other words, the bearing portion 48 is disposed at a position higher than the center of the through-hole 41 in the vertical direction 20. Figure 4In the middle, the position is above the double-dotted line connecting the center 39 of the eye mounting part 37 and the center 40 of the eye mounting part 38. That is, the central axis 45 of the support shaft 42 (center of hammer 25: refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 5 The position of the hammer 25 is located above the imaginary line 60. Therefore, the hammer 25 is supported on the support shaft 42 above the imaginary line 60. The effects of supporting the hammer 25 above the imaginary line 60 will be described later.

[0061] In this embodiment, the imaginary line 60 is defined by a line connecting the center 39 of the eye mounting portion 37 and the center 40 of the eye mounting portion 38, but it can also be defined by a line connecting the center 39 of the eye mounting portion 37 and the hook eye 13 or hook eye 14 (see reference). Figure 1 The imaginary line 60 is defined by the center line of the line.

[0062] 4. Effects

[0063] The angler casts lure 10 and uses the fishing rod and reel to pull and retrieve it. At this time, if... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the hammer 25 slides on the lateral side 21 of the lure body 11, thus the center of gravity of the lure body 11 easily shifts to the right 22 or left 23. Therefore, for example, when pulled sharply, the angler can intentionally and easily destabilize the posture of the lure 10. On the other hand, when the hammer 25 slides on the lateral side 21, the hammer 25 returns to the center of the lateral side 21 via the support mechanism 26, and the center of gravity of the lure body 11 remains in the center. Therefore, for example, when retrieving at a constant speed, the angler can intentionally and easily stabilize the posture of the lure 10. That is, the angler can selectively and easily reproduce the movements of the lure 10 similar to those of a baitfish through their own operation.

[0064] In this embodiment, the hammer 25 is supported by a support shaft 42 extending along the transverse 21, thus allowing the hammer 25 to slide smoothly to the left 23 and right 22. Consequently, the center of gravity of the lure body 11 shifts rapidly, and the lure 10 becomes extremely unstable when pulled sharply. On the other hand, the hammer 25 is held between the two sides of the transverse 21 by coil springs 43 and 44, so the hammer 25, sliding along the transverse 21, quickly returns to the center side of the support shaft 42, and this state is maintained by the elastic force of the coil springs 43 and 44. As a result, the lure 10 is extremely stable when retracted at a constant speed.

[0065] In this embodiment, since coil springs 43 and 44 are used as elastic components to return the hammer 25 to the center of the lure body 11, there is an advantage that the structure of the support mechanism 26 becomes simple.

[0066] likeFigure 4 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, since the center of the bearing portion 48 (the central axis 45 of the support shaft 42) is located above the imaginary line 60, the hammer 25 is also located above the imaginary line 60. That is, the hammer 25 is located relatively high above the lure body 11, the center of gravity of the lure 10 becomes higher, and therefore, the posture of the lure 10 becomes more unstable when pulled sharply.

[0067] 5. Variations

[0068] Figure 6 This is a diagram schematically illustrating the structure of the support mechanism 66 involved in a variation of this embodiment.

[0069] The support mechanism 66 involved in this variation and the support mechanism 26 (see reference) Figure 5 The difference lies in the following aspects: in the support mechanism 26, the hammer 25 is elastically stressed in the transverse direction 21 by coil springs 43 and 44, while the support mechanism 66 does not have coil springs 43 and 44; a holding part 68 is provided on the top 64 of the lure body 11; and a magnet 69 is held in the holding part 68. In addition, in this variation, the hammer 25 is made of a magnetic material (typically martensitic stainless steel).

[0070] The retaining part 68 is cylindrical. In this modified example, the retaining part 68 is integrally formed with the lure body 11. Specifically, semi-cylindrical protrusions are formed on the right shell 27 and the left shell 28 respectively, and the cylindrical retaining part 68 is formed by combining the right shell 27 and the left shell 28 together. The magnet 69 is cylindrical and is embedded in the retaining part 68. The two are fixed by adhesive or other known methods.

[0071] In this modified example, the retaining part 68 is cylindrical, and correspondingly, the magnet 69 is cylindrical, but the shapes of both are not particularly limited. In short, it is sufficient to fix the magnet 69 to the retaining part 68. Furthermore, in this modified example, since the coil springs 43 and 44 are not used, the large-diameter portions 50 and 52 used to retain the coil springs 43 and 44 are omitted (see reference). Figure 5 ).

[0072] According to this variation, similar to the embodiment described above, the hammer 25 slides along the lateral direction 21, and the center of gravity of the lure body 11 is easily displaced to the right 22 or the left 23. Therefore, for example, when pulled sharply, the angler can intentionally and easily destabilize the posture of the lure 10.

[0073] In the present modification example, in the case where the weight 25 slides along the lateral direction 21, the weight 25 is returned to the center of the lateral direction 21 by the support mechanism 66, and the center of gravity of the lure main body 11 is kept in the center. Therefore, for example, at the time of reeling in at a constant speed, the angler can intentionally easily stabilize the posture of the lure 10. That is, the angler can selectively and easily reproduce the action of the lure 10 similar to a bait fish by his own operation.

[0074] The weight 25 is made of a magnetic body, and is therefore attracted by the magnet 69 with a prescribed magnetic force, and the weight 25 is always forced toward the center of the lure main body 11. Therefore, even if the weight 25 slides along the support shaft 42, it returns to the center side of the support shaft 42, and remains in this state. Therefore, the posture of the lure 10 at the time of reeling in at a constant speed is extremely stable.

[0075] In the present modification example, the weight 25 is forced by the magnetic force, and therefore the magnet 69 is disposed at the top 64 of the lure main body 11. In other words, the magnet 69 need not be provided on the support shaft 42. Therefore, in the design of the lure 10, it is possible to increase the stroke (i.e., the amount of movement along the support shaft 42) of the weight 25. As a result, the center of gravity of the lure 10 can be displaced more greatly in the lateral direction 21, and the posture of the lure 10 at the time of a jerk becomes more unstable.
