Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line holder and a fishing line holder set. [Background technology]

[0002] Fishing line clips that secure a fishing line to a fishing rod have been known for some time. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a line clip that is shaped like a clothespin. In this line clip, an elastic member is provided on the inner surface of the clamping part that clamps the object. The fishing line is then attached to the fishing rod by aligning the fishing line with the fishing rod in the length direction and clamping the fishing rod and the fishing line together in this state with the clamping part of the line clip. This makes it possible to prevent the fishing line from coming off the fishing rod when fishing is stopped.

[0003] In addition, in fishing using a reel, a line stopper is used. The line stopper is a tool that prevents the line (fishing line) wound on the reel from loosening. There are two types of line stoppers: one that is attached to the reel and one that is used separately from the reel. The type of line stopper that is used separately from the reel has a main body and a line stopper. In one example of such a line stopper, the line stopper is made of a wire that is bent into a U-shape so as to be folded, and when the line is passed through the U-shaped part of the wire, the line is clamped by the U-shaped part. In another example of the line stopper, a slit that constitutes the line stopper is formed from one side of the elastic plate-like body that constitutes the main body toward the inside, and when the line is passed through this slit, the line is clamped by the slit.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 08-051899 A (see FIG. 5 in particular) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the line stopper of Patent Document 1, the only part where the full pressure from the line stopper acts is the linear portion where the normal to the circumferential surface of the fishing rod coincides with the normal to the inner surface of the clamping part of the line stopper (see Figure 5 of Patent Document 1), and one of the surfaces that clamps the fishing line is the circumferential surface of the fishing rod and does not actually elastically deform in the normal direction. Therefore, for example, if the fishing line is thin, the clamping force acting on the fishing line may be insufficient.

[0006] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned conventional line stoppers used alone, no pressure is applied to the line stopping portion when the line is not passing through, so that, for example, when the fishing line is thin, the stopping force acting on the fishing line may be insufficient.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a fishing line holder and a fishing line holder set that can exert a sufficient holding force on the fishing line even when the fishing line is thin. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, a fishing line clip according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a first clamping member having a first clamping surface elastically deformable in a normal direction, a second clamping member having a second clamping surface elastically deformable in a normal direction, and a pressurized joint structure having a joint axis, the first clamping surface including a first outer periphery which is a base end, a first annular inner circumference whose center axis is the joint axis, a first annular contact surface extending between the first outer periphery and the first inner circumference and having a tip surface substantially perpendicular to the joint axis, and a first inclined surface rising inwardly and obliquely from the first outer periphery to reach the first contact surface, the second clamping surface including a second outer periphery which is a base end, a second annular inner circumference whose center axis is the joint axis, a second annular contact surface extending between the second outer periphery and the second inner circumference and having a tip surface substantially perpendicular to the joint axis, and a first inclined surface extending from the first outer periphery to the first contact surface, and a second inclined surface rising inwardly and obliquely from the first inner periphery to reach the second contact surface, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are arranged so that the first inner periphery and the second inner periphery are coaxial and the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact with each other, the pressurized joining structure includes a cylindrical hole portion whose central axis is the joining axis and a cylindrical shaft portion whose central axis is the joining axis and fits into the hole portion, the hole portion is provided in the second clamping member so as to open into an opening surface of the second inner periphery, and the shaft portion is provided in the first clamping member so as to protrude from the opening surface of the first inner periphery, and the first clamping member and the second clamping member are joined to each other via the shaft portion fitted into the hole portion while being pressed against each other in a direction along the joining axis by the pressurized joining structure.

[0009] According to this configuration, when the fishing line is moved along the first clamping surface of the first clamping member or the second clamping surface of the second clamping member toward the shaft of the pressure coupling structure with the fishing line taut, the fishing line is first guided to the first clamping surface of the first clamping member or the second clamping surface of the second clamping member, and then the fishing line is clamped between the first contact surface of the first clamping member and the second contact surface of the second clamping member. In this case, the first contact surface of the first clamping member and the second contact surface of the second clamping member are in surface contact with each other and pressurized, and both the first contact surface and the second contact surface are elastically deformed in their normal directions, so that even if the fishing line is thin, the fishing line can be fastened to the fishing line fastener with a sufficient fastening force acting on the fishing line.

[0010] The shaft portion may be screwed into the hole portion or pressed into the hole portion, so that the first clamping member and the second clamping member are joined to each other via the shaft portion while being pressed against each other in a direction along the joining axis.

[0011] According to this configuration, a separate member for pressure-joining the first clamping member and the second clamping member is not required, and the pressure-joining structure is simplified.

[0012] The first clamping member and the second clamping member may be made of an elastic material.

[0013] According to this configuration, with a simple configuration, it is possible to make the first clamping surface of the first clamping member and the second clamping surface of the second clamping member elastically deformable in the normal direction.

[0014] The first clamping member or the second clamping member may be provided with an attachment portion for attaching the first clamping member or the second clamping member to a fishing rod.

[0015] According to this configuration, the fishing line holder can be attached to the fishing rod by utilizing the attachment portion, and as a result, the fishing line can be prevented from coming off the fishing rod when you are taking a break from fishing.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a fishing line clip set includes a first clamping member having a first clamping surface elastically deformable in a normal direction, and a second clamping member having a second clamping surface elastically deformable in the normal direction, the first clamping member and the second clamping member each including a pressurized joint structure having a first central axis and a second central axis, the first clamping surface having a first outer periphery which is a base end, a first annular inner periphery having a central axis that coincides with the first central axis, and a second annular inner periphery which is adjacent to the first outer periphery. the first inner circumference includes a first annular contact surface that is a tip surface extending between the first inner circumference and the first outer circumference and is substantially perpendicular to the first central axis, and a first inclined surface that rises inwardly and obliquely from the first outer circumference to reach the first contact surface, and the second clamping surface includes a second outer circumference that is a base end, a second annular inner circumference whose central axis is the second central axis, a second annular contact surface that is a tip surface extending between the second outer circumference and the second inner circumference and is substantially perpendicular to the second central axis, and a first inclined surface that rises inwardly and obliquely from the first outer circumference to the first contact surface, and a second inclined surface which rises obliquely toward the second contact surface, the pressurized coupling structure includes a cylindrical hole portion whose central axis is the second central axis, and a cylindrical shaft portion whose central axis is the first central axis and which fits into the hole portion, the hole portion being provided in the second clamping member so as to open into an opening surface of the second inner periphery, and the shaft portion being provided in the first clamping member so as to protrude from the opening surface of the first inner periphery, and in a state in which the first clamping member and the second clamping member are arranged such that the first central axis and the second central axis substantially coincide with each other to form a coupling axis, the first inner periphery and the second inner periphery are coaxial, and the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact with each other, the shaft portion can be screwed or press-fitted into the hole portion to couple the first clamping member and the second clamping member to each other via the shaft portion in a state in which the first clamping member and the second clamping member are pressed against each other in a direction along the coupling axis.

[0017] According to this configuration, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are arranged so that the first inner circumference and the second inner circumference are coaxial and the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact with each other. By screwing or pressing the shaft portion into the hole, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are joined to each other via the shaft portion while being pressed against each other in a direction along the joining axis, a fishing line holddown can be obtained that exerts a sufficient holding force on the fishing line even when the fishing line is thin. Effect of the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings, and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted. In addition, since the following drawings are for explaining the present invention, elements unrelated to the present invention may be omitted, dimensions may be inaccurate due to exaggeration, or may be simplified, and shapes of corresponding elements in multiple drawings may not match, etc. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] (Overview of the embodiment) The fishing line holder of the present invention includes embodiment 1, which is attached to a fishing rod to hold a fishing line, embodiment 2, in which the fishing line holder of embodiment 1 is provided in a state without final assembly, embodiment 3, which is configured as a line stopper, embodiment 4, in which the fishing line holder of embodiment 3 is provided in a state without final assembly, and other embodiments.

[0022] (Embodiment 1)

[0023] [composition] FIG. 1 is an external view showing an example of the configuration of a fishing line holder 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an external view showing an example of the configuration of a first clamping member 1 of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an external view showing an example of the configuration of a second clamping member 2 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a vertical section of the fishing line holder 100 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal section of the fishing line holder 100 including the coupling axis A0 in FIG. 1. FIGS. 1 to 3 are drawings created by sketching the illustrated objects.

[0024] 1, the fishing line holder 100 includes a first clamping member 1 and a second clamping member 2. Referring to FIG 4, the fishing line holder 100 further includes a pressure coupling structure 10 having a coupling axis A0.

[0025] {First clamping member 1} Structure Referring to FIG. 2, the first clamping member 1 includes a main body 11 and a shaft portion 12. The overall shape of the main body 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has a first clamping surface Fp1 described below. The main body 11 has, for example, a hemispherical shape. In the main body 11, the base end surface of this hemispherical shape constitutes the first clamping surface Fp1. The first clamping surface Fp1 includes a first outer periphery Co1 which is a base end, a first annular inner periphery Ci1 whose central axis is a first central axis A1, a first annular contact surface Fc1 which is a tip surface extending between the first outer periphery Co1 and the first inner periphery Ci1 and is perpendicular to the first central axis A1, and a first inclined surface Fs1 which rises inwardly and obliquely from the first outer periphery Co1 to extend to the first contact surface Fc1. The first inclined surface Fs1, as described later, plays a role of guiding the fishing line 5 (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 8), so it is necessary to be smooth, but other than that, there is no particular limitation. Here, the first inclined surface Fs1 is an inclined surface having a certain inclination (see FIG. 4), but it may be an inclined surface whose inclination becomes gentler from the base end to the tip. The first clamping surface Fp1 can be elastically deformed in the normal direction. In addition, a part (not shown) that serves as a guide when screwing the first clamping member 1 to the second clamping member 2 may be formed on the hemispherical tip surface of the main body 11. Examples of such a part that serves as a guide include a rib of an appropriate shape (for example, a cross shape), a matte finish, etc. In addition, the main body 11 may be formed in a polygonal pyramid shape, and the first clamping surface Fp1 may be formed on the base end surface. In this case, the ridge of the polygonal pyramid on the tip surface serves as the above-mentioned part that serves as the guide.

[0026] The main body 11 is provided with a shaft portion 12 protruding from the opening surface of the first inner circumference Ci1 of the first contact surface Fc1. The shaft portion 12 has a first central axis A1 as its central axis. A male thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 12. Here, the outer periphery of the shaft portion 12 coincides with the first inner circumference Ci1 of the first contact surface Fc1. The base of the shaft portion 12 may be formed in a short cylindrical shape without a male thread (see embodiment 3 and FIG. 9). The effect of this will be described later.

[0027] ≪Material≫ At least the outer portion of the first clamping member 1 is made of an elastic material, so that the first clamping surface Fp1 is elastically deformable in the normal direction.

[0028] Examples of materials for this elastic body include rubbers such as synthetic rubber and natural rubber. Examples of synthetic rubber include silicone rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, butyl rubber, chloroprene rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, and fluororubber. Among these, silicone rubber is particularly preferred as a material for the elastic body. This is because silicone rubber has a large frictional force.

[0029] The elasticity of the elastic body may be at a general level. With regard to rubbers, the "general level" of elasticity means the elasticity level of rubber products that are generally traded. The elasticity of rubbers can be conveniently substituted by tensile strength. For silicone rubber, the preferred tensile strength (test method: JIS K6301) range is 40 to 100 kgf / cm2. For natural rubber, the preferred tensile strength range is 30 to 300 kgf / cm2. For rubbers in general, the preferred tensile strength range is 20 to 300 kgf / cm2. For rubbers in general, the preferred JIS hardness range can be substituted by JIS hardness. For silicone rubber, the preferred JIS hardness range is 30 to 90. For natural rubber, the preferred JIS hardness range is 10 to 100. The above rubber properties are described in detail in the following URL:<https: / / kayo-corp.co.jp / common / pdf / rub_propertylist.pdf> Please refer to the document.

[0030] In one example created according to this embodiment, the elastic body was made of silicone rubber and had a tensile strength of 96 kgf / cm2. Note that the above elastic range is an example, and the elasticity may be outside this range.

[0031] The first clamping member 1 may be entirely made of an elastic body, or the outer portion may be made of an elastic body and the inner portion may be made of a rigid body. Here, the first clamping member 1 is entirely made of an elastic body.

[0032] {Second clamping member 2} Structure Referring to FIG. 3, the second clamping member 2 includes a main body 21, a hole portion 22, and an attachment portion 23. The overall shape of the main body 21 is not particularly limited as long as it has a second clamping surface Fp2 described below. The main body 21 has, for example, a short cylindrical shape. In the main body 21, one end face of the short cylindrical shape constitutes the second clamping surface Fp2. The second clamping surface Fp2 includes a second outer periphery Co2 which is a base end, a second annular inner periphery Ci2 whose central axis is the second central axis A2, a second annular contact surface Fc2 which is a tip surface extending between the second outer periphery Co2 and the second inner periphery Ci2 and is perpendicular to the second central axis A2, and a second inclined surface Fs2 which rises inwardly and obliquely from the second outer periphery Co2 to reach the second contact surface Fc2. As described below, the second sloped surface Fs2 has a role of guiding the fishing line 5 (see Figs. 5 and 8), so it needs to be smooth, but is not otherwise particularly limited. Here, the second sloped surface Fs2 is a slope that becomes gentler from the base end to the tip end (see Fig. 4), but it may be a sloped surface with a constant slope. In addition, the second clamping surface Fp2 is elastically deformable in the normal direction.

[0033] The main body 21 is provided with a hole 22 that opens into the opening surface of the second inner circumference Ci2 of the second contact surface Fc2. The hole 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the second central axis A2 as the central axis. A female thread that screws with the male thread of the shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the hole 22. The hole 22 is formed to a depth equal to or greater than the depth corresponding to the length of the shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1. In addition, when the hole 22 is formed to a depth equal to or greater than the depth corresponding to the length of the shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1, the tip portion (rear portion) of the hole 22 may be formed into a short cylindrical space 22a in which no female thread is formed. The diameter of this space 22a is formed to be larger than the diameter of the valley (groove) of the female thread. The effects of these will be described later.

[0034] Incidentally, referring to FIG. 4, the other end face of the main body 21 is formed in a shallow recess, but this recess may be omitted.

[0035] Further, a pair of mounting parts 23, 23 are provided on the lower part of opposite side surfaces of the main body 21 so as to protrude radially outward from the lower part of the opposite side surfaces of the main body 21. The shape of the pair of mounting parts 23, 23 is not particularly limited as long as the main body 21 can be attached to the fishing rod 4. Here, the pair of mounting parts 23, 23 are each formed to have an L-shaped vertical cross section. As will be described later, the rising parts 23a of the pair of mounting parts 23, 23 are portions to which an O-ring serving as an auxiliary tool is engaged when attaching the fishing line holder 100 to the fishing rod 4 (see FIG. 7).

[0036] ≪Material≫ The material of the second clamping member 2 is the same as the material of the first clamping member 1.

[0037] {Pressure bonded structure 10} Referring to FIG. 4, the pressurized joint structure 10 includes a shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1 and a hole portion 22 of the second clamping member 2. The shaft portion 12 is provided so as to protrude from an opening surface of the first inner circumference Ci1 of the first clamping member 1, and the hole portion 22 is provided so as to open into an opening surface of the second inner circumference Ci2 of the second clamping member 2. Therefore, there may be a gap between the shaft portion 12 and the first inner circumference Ci1. For example, a ring-shaped recess may be formed between the first inner circumference Ci1 and the shaft portion 12. There may also be a gap between the hole portion 22 and the second inner circumference Ci2. For example, the inside of the second inner circumference Ci2 may be formed into a recess, and the hole portion 22 may open into the recess.

[0038] In the fishing line holder 100, for example, when a worker of the manufacturer or a user screws the shaft 12 of the first clamping member 1 into the hole 22 of the second clamping member 2 to the base end with a normal force, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are elastically deformed, and the first clamping member 1 is fastened to the second clamping member 2 with a pressure force according to the elastic deformation. In this case, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are coupled to each other via the shaft 12 and the hole 22 in a state where they are pressurized in a direction along the coupling axis A0, with the first inner circumference Ci1 and the second inner circumference Ci2 being coaxial with each other and the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 being in contact with each other. In this state, the first central axis A1 of the first clamping member 1 and the second central axis A2 of the second clamping member 2 substantially coincide with the coupling axis A0. Therefore, in this pressurized bonding structure, the central axis of the shaft portion 12 and the hole portion 22 is substantially the bond axis A0, the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 are substantially perpendicular to the bond axis A0, and the first inner circumference Ci1 and the second inner circumference Ci2 are substantially perpendicular to the bond axis A0.

[0039] Here, if the depth of hole 22 of the second clamping portion is formed deeper than the depth corresponding to the length of shaft portion 12 of first clamping member 1, and further if the tip portion (rear portion) of hole 22 is formed as a short cylindrical space 22a having a diameter larger than the diameter of the root of the female thread, then from the state in which first clamping member 1 is fastened to second clamping member 2 with normal force as described above, the first clamping member can be rotated with further force to tighten first clamping member 1 to second clamping member 2 (hereinafter referred to as "re-tightening").

[0040] [Effects] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the function and effect of the fishing line holder 100 of Fig. 1. Referring to Fig. 5, according to the fishing line holder 100 configured as described above, when the fishing line 5 is moved along the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2 toward the shaft portion 12 of the pressurized coupling structure 10 with the fishing line 5 in a taut state, the fishing line 5 is first guided to the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2, and then the fishing line 5 is clamped between the first contact surface Fc1 of the first clamping member 1 and the second contact surface Fc2 of the second clamping member 2. In this case, the first contact surface Fc1 of the first clamping member 1 and the second contact surface Fc2 of the second clamping member 2 are in surface contact with each other and pressurized, and both the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 elastically deform in their respective normal directions, so that a sufficient retaining force acts on the fishing line 5 even if the fishing line 5 is thin.

[0041] [How to use] As mentioned above, the force can be increased by tightening the fastener further. If the fishing line 5 is particularly thin, it may be desirable to wind the fishing line 5 around the shaft 12. This can increase the force with which the fishing line 5 is fastened.

[0042] Fig. 6 is an external view showing the configuration of an O-ring 3 for attaching the fishing line holder 100 of Fig. 1 to a fishing rod 4. Fig. 7 is an external view showing the fishing line holder 100 of Fig. 1 attached to a fishing rod 4. Fig. 8 is an external view showing the fishing line holder 100 attached to the fishing rod 4 with a fishing line 5 fastened thereto.

[0043] 6, for example, an O-ring 3 is prepared as an auxiliary tool for attaching the fishing line holder 100 to the fishing rod 4. There are no particular limitations on the auxiliary tool, so long as it can be hooked onto the rising portions 23a, 23a of the pair of attachment portions 23, 23 of the fishing line holder 100 to attach the fishing line holder 100 to the fishing rod 4. For example, a rubber band, an elastic cord, etc. may be used as the auxiliary tool.

[0044] 5 to 8, first, the fishing line holder 100 is placed on the outer circumferential surface of the fishing rod 4. Next, one end of the O-ring 3 is hooked onto one of the rising portions 23a (see FIG. 3) of the pair of mounting portions 23, 23 of the fishing line holder 100. Next, the O-ring is wound around the fishing rod 4 while being stretched, and the other end of the O-ring 3 is hooked onto the other rising portion 23a of the pair of mounting portions 23, 23 of the fishing line holder 100. In this way, the fishing line holder 100 is attached to the fishing rod 4.

[0045] Next, for example, the fishing line 5 attached to the fishing rod 4 and having the fishhook 7 and sinker 6 attached thereto is pulled appropriately and moved along the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 of the fishing line holder 100 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2 toward the shaft portion 12 of the pressurized coupling structure 10. In this case, the fishing line 5 may be wound around the shaft portion 12 of the fishing line holder 100. As described above, if the base of the shaft portion 12 is formed with a short cylindrical portion that does not have a male thread, the fishing line 5 is prevented from being cut into the valley of the male thread when it is wound around the base of the shaft portion 12.

[0046] As a result, the fishing line 5 is secured to the fishing line holder 100. Next, the fishing hook 7 is inserted into the spherical end surface of the first clamping member 1 and secured therein.

[0047] This makes it possible to prevent the fishing line 5 from coming off the fishing rod 4 when the fisherman is taking a break from fishing. As a result, it is possible to prevent the fishing line from getting tangled with surrounding objects when, for example, moving to a different fishing spot.

[0048] (Embodiment 2) In the second embodiment, the first clamping member and the second clamping member 2 of the fishing line holder 100 according to the first embodiment are provided to a user as a fishing line holder set in an uncoupled state.

[0049] According to the second embodiment, the user can pressurize and join the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 to obtain the same effect as the first embodiment.

[0050] (Embodiment 3) The third embodiment of the present invention illustrates an embodiment in which the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment is configured as a line stopper. Specifically, the fishing line holder 300 of the third embodiment differs from the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment in the following respects, but is otherwise similar to the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment. These differences will be described below.

[0051] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a fishing line holder 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9, in the fishing line holder 300 of the third embodiment, the second clamping member 2 includes a main body 21 and a hole 22, but does not include the mounting portion 23 of the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment. In addition, the overall shape of the main body 11 of the first clamping member and the overall shape of the main body 21 of the second clamping member 2 are formed in a similar hemispherical shape. The base end surface of the main body 11 of the first clamping member 1 is formed with a first clamping surface Fp1 including a first contact surface Fc1 and a first inclined surface Fs1 similar to the first clamping surface Fp1 of the main body 11 of the first clamping member 1 of the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment. The shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1 is formed in the same manner as the shaft portion 12 of the first clamping member 1 of the first embodiment, but the base portion 12a of the shaft portion 12 is formed in a short cylindrical shape without a male thread. This short cylindrical base 12a has a diameter smaller than the root diameter of the male thread and a length equivalent to one to two turns of the male thread, which prevents the fishing line 5 from getting caught in the root of the male thread when the fishing line 5 is wound around base 12a of shaft 12.

[0052] A second clamping surface Fp2 configured similarly to the first clamping surface Fp1 of the main body 11 of the first clamping member 1 is formed on the base end surface of the second clamping member 2. That is, the second clamping surface Fp2 includes a second contact surface Fc2 formed similarly to the first contact surface Fc1 and a second sloping surface Fs2 formed similarly to the first sloping surface Fs1. The hole 22 of the second clamping member is formed similarly to the hole 22 of the first clamping member 1 of the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment.

[0053] At least one of the tip face Ff1 of the first clamping member 1 and the tip face Ff2 of the second clamping member 2 may have a portion (not shown) that serves as a guide when screwing the first clamping member 1 to the second clamping member 2. Examples of such a guide portion include a rib of an appropriate shape (e.g., a cross shape), a matte finish, etc. Also, at least one of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 may be formed in a polygonal pyramid shape, and the first clamping face Fp1 or the second clamping face Fp2 may be formed on at least one of the base end faces. In this case, the ridge of the polygonal pyramid on the tip face Ff1 or Ff2 becomes the guide portion.

[0054] [Effects] The fishing line holder 300 of the third embodiment configured as described above differs from the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment only in that it does not have the pair of mounting portions 23, 23 of the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the function and effect of the fishing line holder 300 of the third embodiment is the same as the function and effect of the fishing line holder 100 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 5. 5 and 9, according to the fishing line holder 300 configured as above, when the fishing line 5 (see FIGS. 5 and 10) is moved along the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2 toward the shaft portion 12 of the pressurized coupling structure 10 with the fishing line 5 in a taut state, the fishing line 5 is first guided to the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2, and then the fishing line 5 is clamped by the first contact surface Fc1 of the first clamping member 1 and the second contact surface Fc2 of the second clamping member 2. In this case, the first contact surface Fc1 of the first clamping member 1 and the second contact surface Fc2 of the second clamping member 2 are in surface contact with each other and pressurized, and both the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 are elastically deformed in the normal directions of each of them, so that a sufficient clamping force acts on the fishing line 5 even if the fishing line 5 is thin. Furthermore, since the fishing line holder 300 is entirely spherical, it has an excellent design.

[0055] [How to use] Since the method of using a line stopper is well known, the method of using the fishing line holder 300 will be briefly described below. Fig. 10 is an external view showing the state in which a fishing line 5 is held by the fishing line holder 300 of Fig. 9. Referring to Figs. 9 and 10, in fishing, a suitable position of the fishing line 5 that is unwound from a reel is moved, with an appropriate tension applied, along the first clamping surface Fp1 of the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping surface Fp2 of the second clamping member 2 of the fishing line holder 300 toward the shaft 12 of the pressure coupling structure 10. In this case, the fishing line 5 may be wound around the shaft 12 of the fishing line holder 300.

[0056] This causes the fishing line 5 to be fastened to the fishing line fastener 300. Next, the reel is operated to wind the fishing line 5 until the fishing line fastener 300 abuts against the fishing line 5 outlet of the reel. When the fishing line fastener 300 abuts against the fishing line 5 outlet of the reel, the fishing line 5 is locked. This makes it possible to prevent the fishing line 5 from getting tangled with surrounding objects, for example, when moving to a different fishing spot.

[0057] (Embodiment 4) In the fourth embodiment, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 of the fishing line holder 300 according to the third embodiment are provided to a user as a fishing line holder set in a disassembled state.

[0058] According to the fourth embodiment, the user can pressurize and join the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 to obtain the same effect as the third embodiment.

[0059] (Other embodiments) In any of the first to fourth embodiments, the first clamping member 1 may be provided with a hole portion 22, and the second clamping member 2 may be provided with a shaft portion 12.

[0060] In any of embodiments 1 to 4, or other embodiments, the outer periphery of shaft portion 12 and the inner periphery of hole portion 22 may be smooth, and the first clamping member and the second clamping member 2 may be press-fitted into hole portion 22 so that hole portion 22 and shaft portion 12 engage with each other.

[0061] The fishing line holder 100 of the first or second embodiment may be used as a line stopper.

[0062] The pair of attachment portions 23, 23 of the fishing line holder 100 of embodiment 1 may be provided on the tip surface Ff1 of the first clamping member 1 or the tip surface Ff2 of the second clamping member 2 of the fishing line holder 300 of embodiment 3 or embodiment 4. This allows the fishing line holder 300 to be attached to a fishing rod 4 for use.

[0063] In any of the first to fourth embodiments, if the fishing line 5 is thick, a gap may be provided between the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 by adjusting the degree of screw engagement between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2. This allows a thick fishing line to be suitably fastened to the fishing line holder 100, 300. In this case, since the hole 22 and the shaft 12 are elastic, the gap between the first contact surface Fc1 and the second contact surface Fc2 is suitably maintained.

[0064] Numerous modifications and other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the above description, and therefore the above description is to be construed as illustrative only. [Industrial Applicability]

[0065] The fishing line fastener and fishing line fastener set of the present invention are useful as a fishing line fastener and fishing line fastener set that exerts a sufficient fastening force on the fishing line even when the fishing line is thin. [Explanation of symbols]
