Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing gear technology, specifically to a roly-poly upturned hook. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional fishing activities, the design and use of fishhooks are crucial to improving the success rate of fishing.

[0003] Currently, traditional fishhooks have the following shortcomings: (1) Unstable posture. Traditional fishhooks are difficult to maintain a stable posture in the water, especially when the current is strong or the bottom terrain is complex. The fishhooks are prone to tilting or flipping, which means that the hook point cannot always face upwards, affecting fishing efficiency. (2) High risk of snagging. When working underwater, traditional fishhooks are prone to tilting and getting caught on obstacles (such as rocks, branches, etc.), which increases the difficulty of operation and time cost for anglers.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0036] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. For example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The area above the plane of the image is considered "above". Figure 1 The direction above in the drawing is "below," and "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding structural outline. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive distinction and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connect," "link," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a roly-poly-like upward-facing hook, including a sinker 10 and a fishhook 20. The first end of the sinker 10 is connected to the fishhook 20, and the second end of the sinker 10 is used to connect to the fishing line. The upward-facing hook is configured as a roly-poly structure, so that the upward-facing hook remains upright without external force, so that the hook tip 23 of the fishhook 20 always faces upward.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the upward hook provided in this disclosure is designed with a structure similar to a roly-poly toy. In this way, the upward hook can remain upright without external force, ensuring that the hook tip 23 of the upward hook always faces upward. This design makes it easier to hook fish that are taking the bait, and at the same time reduces the risk of the upward hook getting caught on underwater debris.

[0040] Optionally, the hook 10 can be made of lead, tungsten steel, or tin alloy; this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0041] As one implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fishhook 20 includes a hook shank 21, a hook bend 22, and a hook point 23. The first end of the hook shank 21 is connected to the hook point 23 through the hook bend 22. The second end of the hook shank 21 is connected to the first end of the sinker 10. The second end of the sinker 10 is used to detachably connect to the fishing line. The sinker 10 is constructed as an elliptical structure. A notch 11 is formed at the bottom of the elliptical structure. The notch 11 is set as a spherical flattened structure.

[0042] Because the sinker 10 is constructed as an elliptical structure with a notch 11 at the bottom, which is spherically flattened, it provides a larger contact area compared to a completely rounded bottom. Furthermore, the flat bottom serves as the fulcrum for the entire upward-facing hook. When the sinker 10 is tilted by an external force (such as waves), its own weight allows it to quickly return to an upright position due to the shift in the center of gravity, thus preventing it from tipping over.

[0043] In other words, when the water surface is undulating, the flat-bottom design not only reduces the overturning moment generated by the impact of waves on the hook and sinker 10, helping the hook and sinker 10 to better adapt to wave fluctuations and maintain a good floating or semi-floating balance, but also reduces the risk of the upward-facing hook tipping over due to wave impact. With this design, the upward-facing hook provided in this disclosure has an automatic self-righting capability, can resist the interference of water currents and waves, and can avoid the situation of fishing line tangling due to tipping over, thereby improving fishing efficiency.

[0044] As one implementation method, such as Figures 3 to 4 As shown, a through hole 12 is formed on the hook sinker 10. The through hole 12 is inclined through the hook sinker 10 and is used for the fishing line to pass through. The through hole 12 includes a first through hole 121 and a second through hole 122 that are connected. A limiting step surface 13 is formed at the connection position between the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122. The limiting step surface 13 is used to limit the protrusion on the end of the fishing line away from the fishing rod. The diameter of the first through hole 121 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 122, and the length of the first through hole 121 is smaller than the length of the second through hole 122.

[0045] It's important to understand that the protrusion on the end of the fishing line furthest from the rod is a knot made at the end of the line.

[0046] The inclined through-hole 12 helps adjust the center of gravity distribution of the entire fishing rig. By changing the angle at which the fishing line passes through the sinker 10, the posture of the sinker 10 and the hook 20 in the water can be optimized, making it easier for the hook point 23 to remain upward, thereby increasing the success rate of fishing.

[0047] The notch 11 has a first through hole 121. The relatively large diameter of the first through hole 121 provides sufficient space for the user to tie a knot and also accommodates a dead knot, preventing it from protruding from the notch 11 of the sinker 10. This reduces interference between the dead knot and underwater obstacles or other components (such as the buoy or leader line), thus lowering the risk of snagging. Furthermore, because the diameter of the first through hole 121 is larger than that of the second through hole 122, a limiting step surface 13 is formed. This limiting step surface 13 effectively prevents the dead knot from moving towards the second through hole 122. Even under significant pulling force, the dead knot will not slip into the second through hole 122, thus avoiding the risk of the fishing line accidentally detaching from the sinker 10.

[0048] Specifically, the fishing line passes through the smaller diameter second through hole 122 and the larger diameter first through hole 121 in sequence, and completes the knotting operation inside the first through hole 121 to form a dead knot.

[0049] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the roly-poly upside-down hook also includes a protective sleeve 30, which is located inside the second through hole 122 and connected to the hole wall of the through hole 122. The end of the protective sleeve 30 away from the channel wall of the second through hole 122 is used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line.

[0050] The protective sleeve 30 can reduce the occurrence of wear and breakage of the hook sinker 10 and the fishing line when the fishing line passes through the through hole 12 of the hook sinker 10 and comes into direct contact with the hook sinker 10. This can help extend the service life of the hook and the fishing line.

[0051] Alternatively, the protective sleeve 30 may be made of rubber, nylon, or plastic, and this disclosure does not impose any limitation thereon.

[0052] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the protective sleeve 30 is a sleeve structure 31 extending circumferentially along the second through hole 122. The sleeve structure 31 passes through the second through hole 122, and both ends of the sleeve structure 31 protrude from both ends of the second through hole 122 to form a first limiting part 32 and a second limiting part 33, respectively. A first through hole 321 communicating with the interior of the sleeve structure 31 is formed on the first limiting part 32. The side of the first limiting part 32 facing the sleeve structure 31 abuts against the top of the hook 10. The diameter of the first limiting part 32 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 122. A second through hole 331 communicating with the interior of the sleeve structure 31 is formed on the second limiting part 33. The second limiting part 33 is located inside the first through hole 121. The side of the second limiting part 33 facing the sleeve structure 31 abuts against the limiting step surface 13. The diameter of the second limiting part 33 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 122 and smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 121.

[0053] The first limiting part 32 and the second limiting part 33 not only limit the position of the protective sleeve 30, but also reduce the swaying of the fishing line in the through hole 12 by fitting tightly together.

[0054] In addition, the sleeve structure 31 can provide a smooth channel for the fishing line, which can reduce the difficulty of threading the line and extend the service life of the fishing line.

[0055] Specifically, the fishing line passes sequentially through the first through hole 321 of the first limiting part 32, the inside of the sleeve structure 31, and the second through hole 331 of the second limiting part 33, finally entering the first through hole 121 and being knotted. The entire threading path is wrapped by the protective sleeve 30, which can minimize the direct contact between the fishing line and the hole wall of the hook sinker 10.

[0056] As one implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hook bend 22 includes a first segment 221 and a second segment 222. The first segment 221 and the hook tip 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second segment 222 and extend in the same direction. The end of the first segment 221 away from the second segment 222 is connected to the first end of the hook shank 21. The end of the hook tip 23 away from the second segment 222 faces the top of the sinker 10 and leaves a gap with the top of the sinker 10. The axial direction of the first segment 221 and the axial direction of the hook shank 21 form an angle (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown, the included angle is A, and the included angle is 60°-65°.

[0057] There is a gap between the hook point 23 and the top of the sinker 10 to facilitate the user to add bait.

[0058] The 60°-65° angle design allows the hook point 23 to naturally face the top of the sinker 10 while maintaining a certain tilt angle. In water, this design helps the hook point 23 always maintain an upward orientation, quickly returning to its ideal state even under the impact of water currents. An upward-facing hook point 23 significantly increases the success rate of fishing, as fish are more easily hooked. Furthermore, the 60°-65° angle design also provides a unique penetration angle for the hook point 23. This provides better penetration force when a fish bites, making it easier for the hook point 23 to penetrate the fish's mouth, thus increasing the success rate of fishing.

[0059] As one implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hook shank 21 includes a first rod segment 211 and a second rod segment 212 connected together. One end of the first rod segment 211 is connected to the end of the hook bend 22 away from the hook tip 23. The first end of the second rod segment 212 is connected to the other end of the first rod segment 211. The second end of the second rod segment 212 is connected to the first end of the hook sinker 10. Furthermore, from the first end to the second end of the second rod segment 212, the radial dimension of the second rod segment 212 gradually increases.

[0060] The design of the hook shank 21 with its gradually increasing radial dimension allows the second rod section 212 to withstand greater tensile force, especially the impact force generated when a fish bites. Specifically, the thicker end connects to the sinker 10, which not only better disperses stress and prevents breakage due to excessive force, but also increases the weight near the sinker 10, thereby enhancing the stability of the roly-poly structure. The thinner end connects to the first rod section 211, which not only maintains a lightweight design but also reduces the weight near the hook bend 22, making it easier for the hook 20 to maintain an upward-pointing hook point 23 posture in the water.

[0061] In addition, the radial dimension of the second rod section 212 gradually increases. On the one hand, this creates a streamlined structure, which effectively reduces the resistance of the water flow to the hook shank 21, making the fishing rig more stable in the water. On the other hand, it provides a streamlined aesthetic and also optimizes the mechanical properties of the hook shank 21.

[0062] As one implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, barbs 24 are provided on the side wall of the hook tip 23 facing the hook bend 22.

[0063] The presence of barbs 24 can significantly reduce the probability of fish getting off the hook, especially when the fish is struggling violently or pulling on the fishing line, barbs 24 can effectively fix the fish's mouth.

[0064] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0065] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0066] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
