[0009] [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the lure 10. FIG. 2 is a view taken along the line II in FIG. 1. The lure 10 of this embodiment has a shape resembling a fish. In the following description, each part of the lure 10 may be described using terms such as head, tail, back, belly, spine, right, and left, just like an actual fish. Right means the right side when the fish is placed with its back facing up and its belly facing down and viewed from the tail, and left means the left side when the fish is placed with its back facing up and its belly facing down and viewed from the tail.

[0010] The lure 10 includes a jig head 20 that constitutes the head portion of a fish, and a worm 30 that can be attached to and detached from the jig head 20. The jig head 20 includes a head portion 21 that is shaped like the head of a fish, a ventral plate portion 24 that extends from the ventral edge of the head portion 21 to the tail side, and a dorsal projection 214 that extends from the edge of the head portion 21 that corresponds to the dorsal side of the fish to the tail side. That is, the ventral plate portion 24 and the dorsal projection 214 protrude from the head portion 21 in the same direction.

[0011] 2, the jig head 20 has a first eye 51 and a second eye 52 on the ventral side and a third eye 53 on the dorsal side. A user enjoys lure fishing by connecting a fishing hook to the first eye 51 and the second eye 52 and a fishing line to the third eye 53. The shape of the jig head 20 will be described in detail later.

[0012] The worm 30 has a bone-like portion 40 and a fish body portion 32. The bone-like portion 40 has a U-shaped body 41 used for attachment and detachment to the jig head 20, and a spine portion 48 extending from the U-shaped body 41. The spine portion 48 includes a portion imitating a vertebra extending toward the tail of the fish body, and portions extending in a backbone-like manner from multiple points on the portion imitating the vertebra in all four directions. Details of the shape of the bone-like portion 40 and a method for attaching and detaching the worm 30 to the jig head 20 will be described later.

[0013] The fish body portion 32 may be highly transparent, for example, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the user can visually recognize the bone-like portion 40. The fish body portion 32 may be less transparent, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the user cannot visually recognize the bone-like portion 40. The fish body portion 32 may be semi-transparent. The fish body portion 32 may be provided with a pattern resembling a fish.

[0014] When the fish body 32 is transparent or translucent, the bone-like portion 40 may be colored. Even if the fish body 32 is the same color, the bone-like portion 40 may have a different color to obtain a worm 30 with a different appearance. In lure fishing, it is known that the catch may vary greatly if lures 10 with different appearances such as colors and patterns are used in the same location.

[0015] FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the lure 10. FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of the lure 10 cut in half along the spine. The jig head 20 includes a bent pin 50 made by bending a single thin rod at seven points. The first eye 51 is a portion where the bent pin 50 is shaped into a loop. The second eye 52 and the third eye 53 are formed by a portion where the bent pin 50 is shaped into a U-shape and the head portion 21. A ventral projection 244 extends from the tail end of the abdominal plate portion 24 toward the dorsal projection 214.

[0016] The jig head 20 is integrally fabricated by, for example, placing the preformed bent pin 50 in a mold, and then pouring molten lead into the mold to solidify, a so-called casting method. The jig head 20 may also be fabricated by molding a dense metal such as tungsten around the preformed bent pin 50, for example, by powder metallurgy or other techniques. The bent pin 50 is an example of an eye member of this embodiment.

[0017] The entire jig head 20 may be made of one type of material without using the bent pins 50. Eye members formed by cutting an eye out of a metal plate may be used instead of the bent pins 50. The jig head 20 may have two or four or more eyes.

[0018] Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of part V in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the cross-section taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the same range as Fig. 5, and is displayed in the same orientation as Fig. 5. That is, Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of the lure 10 cut along a plane parallel to the plane of Fig. 5, on the near side of the paper surface of Fig. 5.

[0019] 5, the U-shaped body 41 includes a head plate 411 located on the head side, a tail column 412 located on the tail side, and a ventral plate 413 connecting the ventral end of the head plate 411 and the ventral end of the tail column 412. The head plate 411, the tail column 412, and the ventral plate 413 form an approximate U-shape. A holding protrusion 44 protrudes from the center of the head plate 411 toward the tail side. Details of the shapes of the head plate 411 and the holding protrusion 44 will be described later.

[0020] A plate-shaped pressing part 46 is provided at the end of the back side of the tail pillar 412. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a protrusion of a substantially triangular prism shape imitating a dorsal fin is arranged on the surface of the pressing part 46. A pressing groove 461 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the tail side of the protrusion. The head side edge of the pressing groove 461 is higher than the dorsal side edge. The surface of the pressing part 46 is exposed on the surface of the lure 10, and the user can touch the pressing groove 461. The U-shaped body 41 has elasticity, and when the user hooks a finger or nail on the pressing groove 461 and presses it toward the head side, it elastically deforms in a direction to close the opening.

[0021] The second engagement projection 42 protrudes toward the tail side from the tail end of the ventral plate 413. That is, the second engagement projection 42 protrudes toward the tail side from the bottom of the U-shaped body 41. As shown in Fig. 5, the second engagement projection 42 and the ventral projection 244 are engaged with each other, preventing the worm 30 from rotating counterclockwise in Fig. 5 relative to the jig head 20.

[0022] 6, the end of the head side plate 411 is substantially L-shaped, and an engagement recess 43 is formed on the head side. A first engagement projection 211 protrudes from the dorsal projection 214 toward the ventral side. The engagement recess 43 and the first engagement projection 211 engage with each other, preventing the worm 30 from moving away from the jig head 20 diagonally toward the upper right in FIG.

[0023] The details of the shape of each of the engaging portions will be described later with reference to perspective views of each of the components.

[0024] Of the bone-like portion 40, the portion facing the jig head 20, the portion engaging with the jig head 20, and the surface of the pressing portion 46 are exposed on the surface of the worm 30. Of the bone-like portion 40, the portions other than those mentioned above are embedded in the fish body portion 32.

[0025] Returning to Fig. 4, the explanation will be continued. Fig. 4 is a cross section cut in the thickness direction of the head side plate 411. In the cross section shown in Fig. 4, a substantially U-shaped depression is provided on each of the ventral side and dorsal side of the head side plate 411, which engage with the head-like portion rib 215 provided on the dorsal side of the jig head 20 and the ventral side rib 245 provided on the ventral side of the jig head 20, respectively.

[0026] The engagement between the head rib 215 and the ventral rib 245 prevents the jig head 20 and the worm 30 from shifting in the left-right direction of the fish. Details of the shape of the engagement portion will be described later with reference to the perspective views of each part.

[0027] 7 and 8 are perspective views of the jig head 20. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the jig head 20 seen from the dorsal side, and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the jig head 20 seen from the ventral side. As described above, the jig head 20 has a head portion 21 shaped like a fish's head, a ventral plate portion 24 extending from the ventral edge of the head portion 21 to the caudal side, a dorsal projection 214 extending from the dorsal edge of the head portion 21 to the caudal side, a ventral projection 244 extending from the caudal end of the ventral plate portion 24 toward the dorsal projection 214, and bent pins 50 forming a plurality of eyes.

[0028] The caudal end surface of the head portion 21 is closer to the caudal side than to the dorsal side, and is inclined toward the spine. The above-mentioned ventral rib 245 extends in the center of the dorsal surface of the abdominal plate portion 24 in a direction corresponding to the spine. The ventral rib 245 has a substantially uniform thickness and height along the spine. The side surface of the ventral rib 245 is formed into a tapered surface that is wider on the ventral side than on the dorsal side.

[0029] The dorsal projection 214 has a generally triangular prism shape that tapers from the dorsal side of the head portion 21. The dorsal surface of the dorsal projection 214 constitutes the surface of the lure 10. The first engagement projection 211 protrudes from the ventral surface of the dorsal projection 214. The ventral surface of the first engagement projection 211 protrudes more toward the dorsal side than toward the head side as shown in FIG. 6, and engages with the engagement recess 43.

[0030] The head rib 215 is provided in the center of the ventral surface of the first engagement projection 211, facing the ventral rib 245. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip of the head rib 215 is inclined at approximately 45 degrees with respect to the spine. The tip of the dorsal projection 214, the caudal surface of the first engagement projection 211, and the caudal surface of the head rib 215 form the same plane. The left and right surfaces of the first engagement projection 211 and the head rib 215 form tapered surfaces that are narrower on the ventral side than on the dorsal side.

[0031] Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the worm 30. Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of the worm 30 having a highly transparent fish body portion 32, viewed from the ventral side. A head side plate 411 and a ventral side plate 413 are exposed on the end face on the head side and the ventral surface continuing from the end face. A pin groove 33 is provided in the center of the ventral side, approximately parallel to the spine. The pin groove 33 is an example of a groove portion that holds a part of the bent pin 50.

[0032] The tail of the fish body portion 32 is bifurcated to resemble the shape of a tail fin. The fish body portion 32 is made of a flexible material. When the lure 10 is swung in water, about the tail half of the fish body portion 32 that does not have the bone-like portion 40 inside sways with the water current.

[0033] The fish body portion 32 is preferably made of an edible material that can be eaten by fish, such as gummy candy whose main component is agar or gelatin. The edible material is decomposed by fish and plankton.

[0034] It is desirable that a substance that emits an odor that attracts fish is kneaded into the fish body portion 32. For example, fish meal is kneaded into the fish body portion 32. Microcapsules containing fragrances or hormones that attract fish may be kneaded into the fish body portion 32.

[0035] Even if the fish body part 32 is not made of an edible material, it is preferable that it is made of a biodegradable material. If microcapsules are kneaded into the fish body part 32, the coating of the microcapsules is also preferably made of a biodegradable material such as gelatin.

[0036] The fish body 32 may be made of a resin material such as a highly flexible grade silicone resin or urethane resin, or may be made of a hard resin material such as an epoxy resin, a polycarbonate resin, or an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin.

[0037] Figures 10 to 12 are perspective views of the bone-like portion 40. Figure 13 is a view seen from the arrow XIII in Figure 10. Figure 14 is a view seen from the arrow XIV in Figure 10. As described above, the bone-like portion 40 includes the U-shaped body 41 and the spine portion 48, which are integrally formed. As described above, the U-shaped body 41 includes the head side plate 411, the caudal pillar 412, and the ventral side plate 413. The holding projection 44 projects caudally from the head side plate 411.

[0038] The head side plate 411 is in the shape of a substantially rectangular plate. An end of the head side plate 411 is bent toward the caudal side. An engagement recess 43 is formed on the head side surface of the bent portion. As shown in FIG. 6, the inner surface of the engagement recess 43 is substantially L-shaped with an angle of just under 90 degrees. As shown in FIG. 10, the left and right sides of the engagement recess 43 form triangular plate-shaped walls.

[0039] A head side groove 431 is formed in the center of the engagement recess 43. As shown in Fig. 5, the bottom surface of the head side groove 431 is inclined at approximately 45 degrees with respect to the spine. As shown in Fig. 14, the engagement recess 43 and the head side groove 431 form a substantially T-shaped depression. The left and right surfaces of the engagement recess 43 and the left and right surfaces of the head side groove 431 each form a tapered surface that is narrower on the ventral side than on the dorsal side.

[0040] 11, the dorsal surface of the ventral plate 413 rises approximately parallel to the spine. The caudal pillar 412 is rod-shaped and protrudes dorsally from the end of the raised portion. The second engagement projection 42 protrudes caudally from the boundary between the caudal pillars 412.

[0041] As described above, the pressing part 46 is plate-shaped and is disposed at the tip of the tail pillar 412. That is, the pressing part 46 is provided at one of the two ends of the U-shaped body 41 that corresponds to the tail side of the fish. A projection imitating a dorsal fin and a pressing groove 461 are provided on the surface of the pressing part 46. The holding projection 44 protrudes from the tail side surface of the head side plate 411, and its tip protrudes in three directions, dorsally and to the left and right.

[0042] 12 and 14, a ventral groove 47 that opens to the ventral side and is substantially parallel to the spine is formed on the ventral surface of the ventral plate 413. As shown in Fig. 14, the left and right surfaces of the ventral groove 47 are formed into tapered surfaces that are wider on the ventral side than on the dorsal side.

[0043] The spine 48 protrudes caudally from the center of the dorsal surface of the caudal column 412. As described above, the spine 48 includes a portion that resembles a vertebra and a portion that extends from the portion that resembles a vertebra in a backbone-like shape. As shown in FIG. 13, the portion that extends in a backbone-like shape becomes shorter and thinner toward the caudal side.

[0044] The bone-like portion 40 is produced, for example, by injection molding of resin. For example, it is desirable to provide a draft between the abdominal groove 47, the engagement recess 43, and the head groove 431 so that they can be molded using the same slide mold.

[0045] The bone-shaped portion 40 is preferably made of a low water-absorbent resin such as POM (Polyoxymethylene: polyacetal), polyethylene, or polypropylene. The bone-shaped portion 40 may be made of a biodegradable resin that decomposes in the ocean, such as polybutylene succinate or polyhydroxyalkanoic acid.

[0046] Returning to Figure 9, the explanation continues. The worm 30 is produced by attaching the bone part 40 to a molding die, and then molding the fish body part 32 around the bone part 40. The backbone part of the spine part 48 and the holding protrusions 44 increase the contact area between the bone part 40 and the fish body part 32, thereby increasing the bonding strength between them.

[0047] Therefore, the shapes of these parts are not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings in this embodiment. For example, the midbone-like part of the spine part 48 may extend in two, three, or five or more directions from the part imitating the vertebrae. The holding protrusion 44 may extend from the caudal pillar 412 to the head side. In addition, the bone-like part 40 may have any shape that ensures sufficient joining strength between the fish body part 32 and the bone-like part 40.

[0048] The shape of the fish body portion 32 shown in Fig. 9 is also an example. For example, various worms 30 with different thicknesses, lengths, tail shapes, etc. may be manufactured using the same sized bone portion 40. Since the fish body portion 32 can be manufactured using a much simpler mold than the bone portion 40, multiple shapes can be prepared with a relatively inexpensive initial investment.

[0049] Fig. 15 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the process of attaching the worm 30 to the jig head 20. Note that the fish body 32 is omitted from Fig. 15. A fishing line and a fishing hook may be attached to the jig head 20.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 15A, the user brings the jig head 20 and the worm 30 close to each other. As shown in Fig. 15B, the user presses the tip of the head plate 411 against the dorsal projection 214, and then rotates the worm 30 clockwise in Fig. 15 around the pressed part as an axis. As shown in Fig. 15C, the ventral projection 244 and the second engagement projection 42 come into contact with each other.

[0051] The user presses pressing portion 46 diagonally downward to the right in Fig. 15. Since pressing groove 461 provided on the surface of pressing portion 46 functions as an anti-slip, the user can easily press pressing portion 46 even if his / her hands are wet.

[0052] While the U-shaped body 41 elastically deforms in the closing direction, it is pressed against the abdominal plate portion 24, and the abdominal projection 244 engages with the second engagement projection 42 as described with reference to Fig. 5. At the same time, the head plate 411 engages with the engagement recess 43 as described with reference to Fig. 6. The abdominal rib 245 is received in the abdominal groove 47. The head rib 215 is received in the head groove 431. With the above, the lure 10 is completed.

[0053] The left and right surfaces of the first engagement protrusion 211, the head-shaped rib 215, the engagement recess 43, and the head groove 431 each form a tapered surface that is narrower on the ventral side than on the dorsal side, so that even if there is some misalignment at the stage shown in Figure 15A, the jig head 20 and the worm 30 are naturally guided to the correct position.

[0054] Similarly, the left and right surfaces of the ventral rib 245 and the ventral groove 47 each form a tapered surface that is wider on the ventral side than on the dorsal side, so even if the worm 30 is pushed in at a slight angle to the left or right on the way from Figure 15C to Figure 15D, the jig head 20 and the worm 30 are naturally guided to the correct position. Therefore, the user can easily assemble the jig head 20 and the worm 30.

[0055] When removing the worm 30 from the jig head 20, the user rotates the jig head 20 clockwise in FIG. 15 while pushing the pressing part 46 toward the head side. The user can easily push the pressing part 46 in by hooking a finger or nail into the pressing groove 461. The U-shaped body 41 elastically deforms in the closing direction, and the engagement between the ventral projection 244 and the second engagement projection 42 is released. As a result, the worm 30 is removed from the jig head 20.

[0056] When removing the worm 30 from the jig head 20, the user may push the pressing portion 46 and at the same time push the first eye 51 down in a direction away from the fish body portion 32. The abdominal plate portion 24 elastically deforms toward the ventral side, making it easier for the ventral projection 244 and the second engagement projection 42 to disengage.

[0057] An overview of how to use the lure 10 will be described. A user casts the lure 10 with a fishing hook attached. Since the jig head 20 is heavier than the worm 30, the lure 10 lands on the water with the jig head 20 facing down. When the lure 10 lands on the water, a force that pushes the pressing portion 46 toward the head portion 21 is unlikely to act, so a lure 10 can be provided that prevents the worm 30 from coming off the jig head 20 as soon as the lure 10 lands on the water.

[0058] A user operates the lure 10 underwater. The dorsal fin-like protrusion on the pressing portion 46 stabilizes the left-right movement of the lure 10. The tail of the fish body portion 32 made of a flexible material moves naturally with the water current, providing a lure 10 that attracts fish. If a substance that emits an odor that attracts fish is kneaded into the fish body portion 32, even fish that are some distance away will be drawn closer to the lure 10, providing a lure 10 that attracts fish even more.

[0059] Since the ventral rib 245 and the head-like rib 215 are engaged with the ventral groove 47 and the head groove 431, respectively, the lure 10 can be provided in which the jig head 20 and the worm 30 are unlikely to come off even when an external force twisting them to the left and right is applied in water.

[0060] If the user does not catch as much as he or she hopes, he or she pulls up the lure 10 and removes the worm 30 he or she is using from the jig head 20. The removed worm 30 can be reused the next time unless there is an abnormality, such as the fish body portion 32 being torn off. The user attaches another worm 30 to the jig head 20. In other words, the user goes fishing with multiple replacement worms 30 for one jig head 20.

[0061] Since there is no need to remove the fishing line and fishing hook attached to the jig head 20, an experienced user can replace the worm 30 in a few seconds. Since there is no need to remove and reattach the fishing hook, there is little risk of accidentally pricking the fishing hook into the hand. For example, a user can easily replace the worm 30 when fishing at night in the dark or when fishing on a boat on a day when the boat is rocking a lot. Therefore, it is possible to provide a lure 10 that allows users to enjoy lure fishing without missing an opportunity.

[0062] By using an edible material for the fish body portion 32, it is possible to provide a lure 10 that is less likely to cause damage to a fish that escapes by biting off the fish body portion 32. The edible material is decomposed by fish or plankton.

[0063] By making the bone-like portion 40 out of biodegradable resin, even if the fishing line breaks and the lure 10 falls into the water, or if the worm 30 comes off the jig head 20 and falls into the water, the lure will decompose in the future. The jig head 20 is made of metal and will not decompose, but it has less adverse effects on the environment than resin. Therefore, it is possible to provide a lure 10 that has a small environmental impact when lost.

[0064] As long as the shape of the joint with the worm 30 is the same, the shape of the jig head 20 can be changed in various ways. For example, by changing the size of the head, a common worm 30 can be attached to various jig heads 20 of different weights. As mentioned above, the color and shape of the fish body portion 32 can also be changed. Therefore, the user can use lures 10 of various specifications by appropriately combining the jig heads 20 and the worms 30.

[0065] It is desirable that the U-shaped body 41 is elastically deformed to a state in which the opening is slightly closed compared to the natural state when the worm 30 is attached to the jig head 20. The U-shaped body 41 is pressed against the jig head 20 by the restoring force of the U-shaped body 41 trying to return to the natural state. Therefore, it is possible to provide a lure 10 that is difficult to come off even when subjected to an impact when landing on water.

[0066] The technical features (constitutive elements) described in the embodiments can be combined with each other, and by combining them, new technical features can be formed. The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered as limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims.

[0067] Independent claims and dependent claims described in the claims may be combined with each other in any combination, regardless of the reference format. Furthermore, the claims may be written in a format in which a claim references two or more other claims (multiple claim format), but this is not limited to this format. The claims may also be written in a format in which a multiple claim references at least one other claim (multiple multiple claim format). [Explanation of symbols]
