Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an artificial bait that includes a long fishing sinker and an artificial bait body that covers the fishing sinker. The artificial bait body is detachably attached to the fishing sinker. The artificial bait body is cylindrical and resembles a squid.

[0003] An eye for connecting a fishing line is provided at one end and top of the fishing sinker in the longitudinal direction. An insertion hole through which the eye is inserted is provided at one end and top of the artificial lure body in the longitudinal direction. An angler can use the artificial lure in two ways: with the eye protruding from the insertion hole provided at one end of the artificial lure body, or with the eye protruding from the insertion hole provided at the top of the artificial lure body.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-178041 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, when using the artificial bait described in Patent Document 1, there is a risk that the artificial bait body covering the fishing sinker may be rolled up or detached from the fishing sinker. In this case, the movement of the artificial bait operated by the angler becomes poor, and the fish-attracting ability of the artificial bait may decrease. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Various aspects of the lure for solving the above problems will be described. [Aspect 1] A lure comprising a body and a cover removably attached to the body and covering the body, wherein the body has a first constriction and a protrusion protruding from the first constriction, the cover has a second constriction that fits into the first constriction and a through hole provided in the second constriction through which the protrusion is inserted, the protrusion has a flange that covers the second constriction from the outer periphery, and the flange is provided with eyes that resemble the eyes of an aquatic organism.

[0007] According to this configuration, the second constricted portion that is fitted into the first constricted portion is covered from the outer periphery by the flange of the protruding portion that protrudes from the first constricted portion. This makes it easier for the second constricted portion to remain fitted into the first constricted portion. This makes it less likely for the cover to become misaligned with the main body, which makes it less likely for the movement of the lure operated by the angler to deteriorate. This makes it possible to suppress a decrease in the fish-attracting ability of the lure.

[0008] However, if the lure has a part protruding from the cover, it may give a strange feeling to the fish, and as a result, the fish-attracting ability of the lure may decrease. In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the flange of the protruding portion protruding from the cover is provided with an eye portion, which makes it possible to prevent the protruding portion from giving an uncomfortable feeling to the fish.

[0009] [Aspect 2] The lure described in [Aspect 1], wherein the eye portion is located inside a recess formed in the outer surface of the cover by the second constriction portion. According to this configuration, the eyes can be prevented from excessively protruding from the outer surface of the cover, thereby reducing the discomfort felt by the fish due to the eyes.

[0010] [Aspect 3] The lure described in [Aspect 1] or [Aspect 2], wherein the eye portion is formed separately from the flange portion and is adhered to the flange portion, and the flange portion has an adhesive surface to which the eye portion is adhered, and a peripheral wall that rises from the peripheral edge of the adhesive surface and surrounds the outer periphery of the eye portion.

[0011] According to this configuration, the peripheral wall prevents the eye portion bonded to the bonding surface of the flange portion from shifting in position. Furthermore, when the eye portion and the flange portion are bonded with an adhesive, the adhesive can be prevented from leaking out from between the eye portion and the flange portion, thereby preventing a decrease in the design of the lure.

[0012] [Aspect 4] A lure described in any one of [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 3], wherein the main body has a line eye that protrudes outside the cover and to which a fishing line is attached, and a hook eye that is provided in a position different from the line eye and to which a fishing hook is attached.

[0013] For example, in the case of a lure in which a fishing line is passed through holes formed in the cover and the main body, and then a fishing hook is attached to the fishing line protruding from the hole in the main body, the work of replacing the cover is troublesome for the angler, who must remove the fishing hook from the fishing line and then pull the fishing line out of each hole.

[0014] In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the line eye and the hook eye are provided at different positions. Therefore, even if a fishhook is attached to the hook eye, the cover can be replaced by removing the fishing line from the line eye. This reduces the number of operations required to replace the cover.

[0015] [Aspect 5] The lure described in any one of [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 4], wherein the protruding portion has a columnar portion protruding from the first constricted portion and the flange portion expanded radially outwardly beyond the columnar portion, and the through hole has a first housing portion in which the columnar portion is housed and a second housing portion expanded radially outwardly beyond the first housing portion and in which the flange portion is housed.

[0016] According to this configuration, since the flange is accommodated in the second accommodation portion, the amount by which the flange protrudes from the outer surface of the cover can be reduced, thereby reducing the discomfort felt by the eyes of the fish. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, a decrease in fish-attracting ability can be suppressed. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the lure of FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the fixing member of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the lure will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. (Lure 10) 1, the lure 10 includes a body 20 and a cover 40 that covers the body 20. The cover 40 is detachably attached to the body 20. The cover 40 has a shape that resembles, for example, a squid.

[0020] (Main body 20) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main body 20 includes a weight 21, a wire 26, a pair of fixing members 30, and a pair of eyes 35.

[0021] The weight 21 is generally spindle-shaped. The cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the length of the weight 21 is, for example, elliptical. The weight 21 is made of a metal material such as a lead alloy, a tungsten alloy, or stainless steel.

[0022] The wire 26 is embedded inside the weight 21. The wire 26 has an elongated shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the weight 21. The wire 26 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel.

[0023] A line eye 27 and a hook eye 28 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the wire 26. The line eye 27 and the hook eye 28 are exposed from one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the sinker 21, respectively. That is, the main body 20 has the line eye 27 and the hook eye 28 provided at different positions. A part of the portion of the wire 26 connected to the line eye 27 is exposed from the sinker 21. In addition, the line eye 27 and the hook eye 28 protrude to the outside of the cover 40. A fishing line is attached to the line eye 27. A fishing hook is attached to the hook eye 28. Note that a fishing hook may be attached to the line eye 27 in addition to the fishing line.

[0024] The weight 21 has a general portion 22 and a first constricted portion 23 having a smaller diameter than the general portion 22. The first constricted portion 23 is formed in a position of the weight 21 that is biased from the center of the weight 21 in the longitudinal direction toward the side where the hook eye 28 is located.

[0025] 4, weight 21 has a first connecting surface 24 that connects the outer surface of general portion 22 and the outer surface of first constricted portion 23. First connecting surface 24 extends in a tapered manner so as to increase in diameter from first constricted portion 23 toward general portion 22. A step is formed on the outer surface of weight 21 by the outer surface of general portion 22, first connecting surface 24, and the outer surface of first constricted portion 23.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 3, the pair of fixing members 30 protrude from the first constricted portion 23 in opposite directions. The pair of fixing members 30 penetrate the cover 40. The pair of fixing members 30 are provided at positions corresponding to the eyes of the aquatic creature that the lure 10 imitates. In the lure 10 of this embodiment, the pair of fixing members 30 are provided at positions corresponding to the eyes of a squid. Each fixing member 30 is formed, for example, from a resin material.

[0027] 4, each fixing member 30 is formed separately from weight 21. Each fixing member 30 is fixed to weight 21 via an adhesive while being inserted into a hole formed in first constricted portion 23. Fixing member 30 is an example of a "protrusion".

[0028] Each fixing member 30 has a columnar portion 31 and a flange portion 32. The columnar portion 31 protrudes from the first constricted portion 23. The columnar portion 31 is, for example, cylindrical. The flange portion 32 is expanded toward the outer periphery at the tip of the columnar portion 31. The flange portion 32 is, for example, disk-shaped. The flange portion 32 covers the second constricted portion 47 of the cover 40, which will be described later, from the outer periphery. More specifically, the flange portion 32 is in contact with the outer surface of the second constricted portion 47.

[0029] The flange portion 32 has an adhesive surface 33 and a peripheral wall 34. The adhesive surface 33 extends in a planar direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the columnar portion 31. The adhesive surface 33 is provided with mesh portions 35. The adhesive surface 33 is circular. The peripheral wall 34 stands up from the peripheral edge of the adhesive surface 33. The peripheral wall 34 is provided over the entire edge of the adhesive surface 33.

[0030] The eye 35 is an adhesive member formed separately from the flange 32 and adhered to the adhesive surface 33 of the flange 32. The eye 35 is dome-shaped to resemble the eyes of an aquatic organism. The outer periphery of the eye 35 is surrounded all around by the peripheral wall 34. The eye 35 protrudes to a position farther from the adhesive surface 33 than the peripheral wall 34.

[0031] (Cover 40) 3, the cover 40 is tubular and has an accommodation space 41 for accommodating the main body 20. The cover 40 is flexible. The cover 40 is made of, for example, a resin material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a soft elastic material such as an elastomer.

[0032] The cover 40 has an insertion hole 42 and a mounting hole 43. The insertion hole 42 is formed at one end in the axial direction of the cover 40. The mounting hole 43 is formed at the other end in the axial direction of the cover 40. The insertion hole 42 and the mounting hole 43 communicate with the accommodation space 41.

[0033] A straight portion of the wire 26 connected to the line eye 27 is inserted into the insertion hole 42. The main body 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 43. The main body 20 protrudes from the mounting hole 43. The cover 40 is attached to the main body 20 through the mounting hole 43.

[0034] The cover 40 has a pair of fins 44 and a plurality of legs 45. The pair of fins 44 protrude in opposite directions from one end of the cover 40 in the axial direction. The plurality of legs 45 extend from the other end of the cover 40 in the axial direction at intervals from one another in the circumferential direction of the cover 40. The plurality of legs 45 surround the end of the main body 20 at which the hook eye 28 is exposed.

[0035] The cover 40 has a general portion 46 and a second constricted portion 47 that is smaller in diameter than the general portion 46. The general portion 46 covers a portion of the general portion 22 of the main body 20 that is closer to the line eye 27 than the first constricted portion 23. The second constricted portion 47 is formed at a position corresponding to the first constricted portion 23 of the main body 20.

[0036] 4, the second constricted portion 47 fits into the first constricted portion 23. A recess 47a is formed in the outer surface of the cover 40 by the second constricted portion 47. The eye 35 is located inside the recess 47a.

[0037] The cover 40 has a second connection surface 48 that connects the inner surface of the general portion 46 and the inner surface of the second constricted portion 47. The second connection surface 48 extends from the second constricted portion 47 toward the general portion 46 so as to expand in diameter in a tapered manner. A step is formed on the inner surface of the cover 40 by the inner surface of the general portion 46, the second connection surface 48, and the inner surface of the second constricted portion 47. When the cover 40 is attached to the main body 20, the step formed on the outer surface of the weight 21 and the step formed on the inner surface of the cover 40 are engaged. That is, the first connection surface 24 of the weight 21 and the second connection surface 48 of the cover 40 are in contact with each other. This suppresses positional deviation between the main body 20 and the cover 40 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 20.

[0038] The cover 40 has a pair of through holes 50 into which the pair of fixing members 30 are inserted. Each through hole 50 opens to the outer surface of the second constricted portion 47. Each through hole 50 has a first housing portion 51 in which the columnar portion 31 is housed, and a second housing portion 52 in which the flange portion 32 is housed. The first housing portion 51 houses a portion of the columnar portion 31 that protrudes from the main body 20. The second housing portion 52 is expanded toward the outer periphery more than the first housing portion 51. The second housing portion 52 houses the entire flange portion 32.

[0039] The operation and effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The lure 10 comprises a main body 20 and a cover 40 that is detachably attached to the main body 20 and covers the main body 20. The main body 20 has a first constricted portion 23 and a fixing member 30 that protrudes from the first constricted portion 23 and penetrates the cover 40. The cover 40 has a second constricted portion 47 that fits into the first constricted portion 23 and a through hole 50 that is provided in the second constricted portion 47 and through which the fixing member 30 is inserted. The fixing member 30 has a flange portion 32 that covers the second constricted portion 47 from the outer periphery. The flange portion 32 is provided with eyes 35 that resemble the eyes of an aquatic organism.

[0040] According to this configuration, the second constricted portion 47 fitted into the first constricted portion 23 is covered from the outer periphery by the flange portion 32 of the fixing member 30 protruding from the first constricted portion 23. This makes it easier to maintain the state in which the second constricted portion 47 is fitted into the first constricted portion 23. This makes it difficult for the cover 40 to become misaligned with the main body 20, so that the movement of the lure 10 operated by the angler is less likely to deteriorate. This makes it possible to suppress a decrease in the fish-attracting ability of the lure 10.

[0041] However, if the lure 10 has a portion protruding from the cover 40, it may give a fish a strange feeling. As a result, the fish-attracting ability of the lure 10 may decrease. In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the eye 35 is provided on the flange 32 of the fixing member 30 protruding from the cover 40. This makes it possible to prevent the fixing member 30 from giving an uncomfortable feeling to the fish.

[0042] (2) The eye 35 is located inside the recess 47 a formed in the outer surface of the cover 40 by the second constricted portion 47 . This configuration can prevent the eye 35 from excessively protruding from the outer surface of the cover 40. Therefore, the sense of discomfort that the eye 35 gives to the fish can be reduced.

[0043] (3) The flange portion 32 has an adhesive surface 33 to which the eye portion 35 is adhered, and a peripheral wall 34 that stands from the edge of the adhesive surface 33 and surrounds the outer periphery of the eye portion 35 . According to this configuration, the peripheral wall 34 prevents the eye 35 adhered to the adhesive surface 33 of the flange 32 from shifting in position.

[0044] Furthermore, when the eye portion 35 and the flange portion 32 are bonded with an adhesive, it is possible to prevent the adhesive from leaking out from between the eye portion 35 and the flange portion 32. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the design of the lure 10 from being deteriorated.

[0045] (4) The main body 20 has a line eye 27 that protrudes outside the cover 40 and to which a fishing line is attached, and a hook eye 28 that is provided at a position different from the line eye 27 and to which a fishing hook is attached.

[0046] For example, in the case of a lure in which a fishing line is passed through holes formed in the cover 40 and the main body 20, and then a fishing hook is attached to the fishing line protruding from the hole in the main body 20, the work of replacing the cover 40 is troublesome for the angler. That is, the angler needs to remove the fishing hook from the fishing line and then pull out the fishing line from each hole.

[0047] In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the line eye 27 and the hook eye 28 are provided at different positions. Therefore, even if a fishhook is attached to the hook eye 28, the cover 40 can be replaced by removing the fishing line from the line eye 27. Therefore, the number of operations required to replace the cover 40 can be reduced.

[0048] (5) The fixing member 30 has a columnar portion 31 protruding from the first constricted portion 23 and a flange portion 32 expanded radially outward from the columnar portion 31. The through hole 50 has a first accommodating portion 51 that accommodates the columnar portion 31, and a second accommodating portion 52 that expands radially outward from the first accommodating portion 51 and accommodates the flange portion 32.

[0049] According to this configuration, since the flange 32 is housed in the second housing portion 52, it is possible to reduce the amount by which the flange 32 protrudes from the outer surface of the cover 40. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the discomfort that the eye portion 35 gives to the fish.

[0050] <Example of change> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that there is no technical contradiction.

[0051] The lure 10 does not necessarily have to have the line eye 27 and the hook eye 28. In this case, it is preferable that, for example, a through hole for inserting a fishing line is provided in the main body 20, and a fishing hook is attached to the fishing line inserted through the insertion hole 42 of the cover 40, the through hole of the main body 20, and the attachment hole 43 of the cover 40 in this order.

[0052] The hook eye 28 may be located in the receiving space 41 of the cover 40 . The eye portion 35 may be painted or printed on the flange portion 32. The flange portion 32 does not have to have the peripheral wall 34.

[0053] The through hole 50 does not have to have the second housing portion 52. Even in this case, it is preferable that the flange portion 32 is located inside the recess 47a. The eye 35 may protrude further outward than the recess 47a.

[0054] The cover 40 may be shaped to resemble an aquatic organism other than a squid. In this case, the fixing members 30 and the eyes 35 are preferably provided at positions corresponding to the eyes of the aquatic organism.

[0055] Instead of the pair of fixing members 30, the main body 20 may have a pair of protrusions that are formed integrally with the weight 21 and protrude from the weight 21. The material of the main body 20 may be, for example, a resin material or wood. In this case, the main body 20 may be hollow. [Explanation of symbols]
