Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing tackle handling tool. [Background technology]

[0002] Fishing tackle consists mostly of hooks and fishing lines. When disposing of fishing tackle after use, many local governments treat the fishing lines tied to the hooks as combustible waste, even though the hooks themselves are non-combustible waste. Particular care must be taken when disposing of fishing hooks, as there is a risk of injury to waste collectors. Therefore, the hooks and lines must be disposed of properly. However, cutting and separating the needles and thread with scissors or the like is time-consuming, and needles, which are dangerous materials, need to be temporarily stored, so it is not always possible to properly separate the devices after use. In recent years, the abandonment of fishing bait and tackle (hooks and lines) at fishing spots has become a problem. This is also thought to be a problem caused by the trouble of disposing of the tackle, as mentioned above.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses an invention that allows for easy disposal of fishing hooks. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-228654

[0005] However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 does not allow for the continuous cutting and separation of hooks from a fishing tackle with multiple branch hooks attached, and does not assume that the cut fishhooks will be recovered. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The problem to be solved is the difficulty of separating the hook and line in fishing tackle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The most important feature of the present invention is that it provides a container that allows easy separation of the line and the hook in a fishing tackle and allows the hook and line to be temporarily stored separately.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and employs the following means, for example. That is, a spool having a winding section for winding up a fishing tackle; a rotation shaft that rotatably supports the spool; a handle connected to the rotary shaft and configured to rotate the spool by a rotational operation; a hook separation cutter having a cutting portion located radially outward of the winding portion of the spool and at any position in the circumferential direction of the spool, for cutting off a fishing hook from the fishing tackle wound on the spool; a container disposed below the spool and the hook separation cutter for collecting the cut fishhook; To provide a fishing tackle handling tool characterized by comprising: [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The fishing tackle disposer of the present invention can continuously separate and retrieve fishhooks from the line. Therefore, it has the advantage of being able to efficiently separate and retrieve hooks and line even when using a rig with multiple hooks, such as a sabiki rig. The fishing tackle disposer of the present invention can also be used as a fishing line winder. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof may be omitted as appropriate. The drawings used below are used to explain the present embodiment and may differ in size from the actual dimensions.

[0012] Hereinafter, for rotating objects such as cylindrical objects, the direction along the axis of rotation will be referred to as the "axial direction." In addition, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the direction away from the axis of rotation will be referred to as the "radial direction," and the direction along the rotation will be referred to as the "circumferential direction."

[0013] (Outline of the embodiment) An outline of a fishing tackle handling tool 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fishing tackle handling tool 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing tackle processing tool 1 includes a spool 10, a handle 20 for rotating the spool 10, a hook separation cutter 50 for cutting and separating the fishing hook of the fishing tackle from the fishing line, and a container 40 for collecting the cut and separated fishing hook. FIG. 2 is a diagram (front view and longitudinal cross-sectional view) showing how to use the fishing tackle handle 1 of this embodiment. When the user hooks one end of the fishing tackle onto the hook portion 131 of the spool 10 (FIG. 2(a)), and then rotates the handle 20, the spool 10 rotates together with the handle 20 (FIG. 2(b)). The hook and fishing line of the fishing tackle are cut and separated by the hook separation cutter 50 (FIG. 2(c)), and the hook is wound into the container 40, while the fishing line is wound onto the spool 10 (FIG. 2(d)). This allows the user to efficiently retrieve only the fishhook from the fishing tackle.

[0014] (Definition of terms) Here, some terminology will be defined. A "fishing tackle" comprises a fishing line and a fishhook tied to the fishing line. A fishing tackle may also comprise multiple leaders, each with a fishhook at the end. Leaders refer to fishing lines that branch off from the middle of a fishing tackle. Strictly speaking, fishing line is divided into a main line and a leader, and in the following embodiments, fishing line refers to the leader, but no particular distinction is made here. A "spool" is a reel of line. In this embodiment, it refers to a bobbin-shaped part onto which fishing line is wound. For the sake of convenience in explaining this embodiment, the part onto which the fishing line is wound will be referred to as the winding part, and the part that guides the fishing line to prevent it from protruding will be referred to as the guide. The winding part is a cylindrical member, and the guide is the so-called flange part of the cylindrical member.

[0015] (Details of the embodiment) The fishing tackle handling tool 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0016] (First embodiment) <Fishing tackle handling tool 1> The fishing tackle disposer 1 is a device for separating and retrieving a fishing hook from a fishing tackle having a fishing hook and a fishing line. As shown in Figure 1, the fishing tackle disposer 1 of this embodiment comprises a container 40 having a container bottom 42 that can be separated from a container body 41, a spool 10 that is rotatably supported on the top of the container 40 via a support 30, a handle 20 for rotating the spool 10, and a hook separation cutter 50 that is attached inside the container 40 to cut the fishhook from the fishing line. Each part will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] <Spool 10> The spool 10 is a reel for winding up a fishing tackle that cuts and separates a fishing hook. Figure 3 shows the spool 10 and the handle 20. Figure 3(a) shows the spool 10, and Figure 3(b) shows the handle 20. Figure 3(c) shows the spool 10 and the handle 20 connected together. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the spool 10 includes a shaft hole portion 11, a winding portion 12, and a guide 13, which are arranged coaxially.

[0018] The shaft hole portion 11 has a hole that fits onto a rotation shaft 21 of a handle 20, which will be described later. The winding section 12 is a section that winds up the fishing line by rotating the spool 10. The winding section 12 of this embodiment has a substantially cylindrical shape. The guides 13 are disk-shaped and have a larger diameter than the winding part 12, and a pair of guides 13 are provided to sandwich the winding part 12 from both sides. The guides 13 are guides for winding the yarn so that the yarn wound around the winding part 12 does not deviate outward in the axial direction. The guides 13 can be said to be flange portions of the winding part 12. The guide 13 has a hook portion 131 and a notch 132. The hook portion 131 is a portion (for example, a protrusion or notch like a claw) on which the end of the fishing tackle is hooked before rotating the spool 10. The notch 132 is a notch for cutting the wound fishing line with scissors. Details will be described later.

[0019] In this embodiment, the spool 10 has an outer diameter of 9 cm or less, taking portability into consideration.

[0020] <Handle 20> The handle 20 is a handle for rotating the spool 10. As shown in FIG. 3( b ), the handle 20 includes a rotation axis 21 and a grip portion 22 . The rotary shaft 21 is a shaft member that supports and rotates the spool 10. The rotary shaft 21 of this embodiment is fitted into the shaft hole portion 11 described above, and rotates the spool 10. The grip portion 22 is a portion that the user grips in order to rotate the spool 10. When the user rotates the grip portion 22, the rotary shaft 21 rotates, and the spool 10, which is rotatably supported by the rotary shaft 21, rotates.

[0021] In this embodiment, a grip portion 22 is attached to one end of the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating shaft 21 and the grip portion 22 are integrated.

[0022] In this embodiment, the shape of the handle 20 is the same as that of a single hand-crank handle used for a fishing reel.

[0023] <Strut 30> The support 30 is a component that connects the spool 10 to a container 40 (described later) and supports the spool 10 . As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, one end of the support pole 30 is attached to the top of the container 40, and the other end of the support pole 30 extends above the container 40 to rotatably support the rotation shaft of the handle. In this embodiment, one end of the support 30 has a screw hole for inserting the support adjustment screw 31, and the other end has a hole for inserting the rotation shaft 21 therethrough.

[0024] The support adjustment screw 31 is a screw that connects the support 30 and the container 40 and is used to adjust the angle of the support 30. The support 30 can be rotated around the axis connecting the support and the container by tightening or loosening the support adjustment screw 31 at the connecting portion with the container 40.

[0025] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the function of the support column adjustment screw 31. As shown by the white arrows in Figures 4(a) and (d), the user can loosen the connection between the support 30 and the container 40 by turning the support adjustment screw 31 counterclockwise. Conversely, the connection can be fixed by turning the connection clockwise. This allows the user to change the angle of the support 30.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 4(a), the user can loosen the support adjustment screw 31 and shift the spool 10 to the right (in the direction of the dotted arrow) as viewed from the front. As shown in FIGS. 4(b) and (c), by shifting the spool 10, the user can hook the fishing line with the hook directly onto the hook separating cutter 50 and cut it. As shown in FIG. 4(d), the user can loosen the support adjustment screw 31, shift the spool 10 to the left (in the direction of the dotted arrow) when viewed from the front, and return it to its original position.

[0027] The post 30 allows the user to rotate the spool 10 on top of the container 40 . This allows the user to change the position of the support pole as needed. Another advantage is that by shifting the position of the support pole with the support pole adjustment screw 31, it is possible to retrieve the hook even when using a fishing rig that has a hook attached to the end of the fishing line, such as a floating rig.

[0028] It is also useful when there is only one fishing hook or when there is a fishing line that could not be cut. Furthermore, it is particularly useful when the hook separating cutter 50 is hidden in the spool 10, as in the fishing tackle disposer 1 of this embodiment.

[0029] <Container 40> 1, the container 40 is a container for collecting fishhooks that are cut and separated by a hook separating cutter 50, which will be described later. From the container 40, the user can easily take out the collected fishhooks.

[0030] In this embodiment, the container 40 comprises a container body 41 and a container bottom 42 (see FIG. 6, which will be described later). The container bottom 42 has a magnet 43 at its bottom portion. The container 40 also has a needle separation cutter 50, which will be described later, at its upper inside portion. The container body 41 is fitted with the container bottom 42 , and the container bottom 42 is detachable from the container body 41 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the container 40 serves not only as a fishing hook recovery container, but also as a support for the spool 10 by supporting (pivotally supporting) the rotation axis of the spool 10 (through the support 30, if present).

[0032] In this embodiment, the container body 41 is connected to the support 30 . Furthermore, the container body 41 and the container bottom 42 are fitted together. That is, the container body 41 and the container bottom 42 are nested so as to be separable, and the user can remove the container bottom 42.

[0033] The magnet 43 is used to attract and hold a metal fishing hook with its magnetic force. In this embodiment, a thin magnet 43 such as a magnetic sheet is attached to the bottom of the container 40 to attract the fishing hook. The details of removing the container bottom 42 and retrieving the fishing hook using the magnet 43 will be described later.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1, the container 40 is disposed below the spool 10 and the hook separation cutter 50. This is to recover the fishing hooks that are cut and separated by the hook separation cutter 50 near the spool 10 and fall due to gravity.

[0035] Here, below means that at least a portion of the container 40 must be below the spool 10 or the needle separation cutter 50, and does not mean that the entire container 40 must be below the entire spool 10 or the needle separation cutter 50. For example, in a third embodiment (see FIG. 11) described later, the spool 10 and the container 40 are positioned vertically overlapping, but the spool 10 protrudes above the container 40. In other words, the container 40 is located below the spool 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the container 40 is made of transparent plastic so that the contents inside can be seen.

[0037] <Needle Separation Cutter 50> The hook separating cutter 50 is a part for cutting and separating the fishhook from a fishing tackle having the fishhook and fishing line.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the needle separation cutter 50 of this embodiment is disposed inside the container 40. However, the location is not limited to this, and any location that can cut and separate the fishhooks near the spool 10 is acceptable. However, since the cut and separated fishhooks are recovered in the container 40, the location is arranged above the container bottom 42, which is the fishhook recovery portion of the container 40.

[0039] Figure 5 is a diagram (top view) of the needle separation cutter 50. Figure 5(a) shows the state in which the spool 10 is attached, and Figure 5(b) shows the state in which the spool 10 is removed. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the needle separating cutter 50 is disposed below the spool 10. As shown in FIG. 5( b ), the needle separating cutter 50 includes a thread introducing portion 51 and a cutting portion 52 . The structure of the needle separation cutter 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the needle separating cutter 50 of this embodiment is disposed inside the container 40, below the spool 10.

[0041] The needle separating cutter 50 in this embodiment has a flat plate shape, and the edge portion from the thread introduction portion 51 to the cutting portion 52 forms a cutting edge (such as a razor blade).

[0042] As shown in Figure 5(b), one end (thread introduction section 51) of the needle separation cutter 50 is wide open, but the width gradually narrows from the opening toward the back (upper side of Figure 5(b), toward the circumferential back side of the spool 10), and at the other end (cutting section 52) it is roughly the same thickness as the thread. The cutting section 52 can also be said to be roughly V-shaped. The fishing line with the hook tied to it enters from the bottom to the top of Figure 5(b). The fishing line (extending perpendicular to the paper) reaches the line introduction section 51 and the cutting section 52, where it is cut.

[0043] 2, the needle separation cutter 50 is attached to the container 40 in a manner that it is inclined obliquely (upward to the right when viewed from the front) with respect to the bottom surface. In other words, one end (thread introduction portion 51) of the needle separation cutter 50 is fixed at a higher position than the other end (cutting portion 52). This structure allows the hook separating cutter 50 to more reliably cut the fishing hook from the fishing line.

[0044] The angle that the flat hook separation cutter 50 makes with the horizontal plane is defined as the tilt angle. In this case, in a fishing tackle handle 1 in which the hook separation cutter 50 is disposed below the spool 10, the tilt angle is preferably 0 to 60 degrees for efficient cutting of the fishing line, and more preferably 20 to 40 degrees.

[0045] In this embodiment, the needle separating cutter 50 is disposed below the spool 10, but the location of the cutter is not limited to this. In other words, as long as it is possible to cut the fishing hook from the fishing tackle wound on the spool 10, the cutting portion 52 may be disposed at any position around the circumference of the spool 10. The specific position will be explained in the modified example below. Naturally, the cutting portion 52 is located radially outward of the winding portion 12 of the spool 10. This is because the cutting portion 52 cuts the fishing line near the fishhook, which is moved radially outward of the winding portion 12 due to centrifugal force. The operation and method of use will be described later.

[0046] Although the needle separation cutter 50 in this embodiment is made of metal, it may be made of other materials such as ceramic.

[0047] To summarize the hook separation cutter 50, the hook separation cutter 50 has a cutting portion 52 located radially outward of the winding portion 12 of the spool 10 and at any position around the circumference of the spool 10, and cuts out the fishing hook from the fishing tackle wound onto the spool 10. Furthermore, the cutting portion 52 narrows from the fishing line inlet (line introduction portion 51) on the circumferential front side of the spool 10 toward the circumferential back side of the spool 10 (toward the cutting portion 52). This allows the fishing hooks to be cut and separated continuously and efficiently with little effort, even in the case of a fishing tackle that is branched like a leader and has multiple fishing hooks.

[0048] 2. Action and usage A method for handling a fishing tackle using the fishing tackle handling tool 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the end of the tackle (the part with the snap or swivel) is hooked onto the thin hook portion 131 on the spool 10 (FIG. 2(a)). When the user turns the handle 20 in the direction of the gray arrow in FIG. 2, the fishing line is wound onto the spool 10 (FIG. 2(b)). By further turning, the hook part of the bait will protrude slightly and enter the container 40. Then, the knot between the hook and the fishing line will be caught in the gap (cutting part 52) ​​of the hook separation cutter 50 inside the container 40 (Fig. 2(c)). When the hook is caught in the gap, the user turns the handle 20, which pulls the fishing line, and at the same time, the knot between the hook and the fishing line rubs against the blade of the hook separation cutter 50, cutting the fishing line (Figure 2(d)). The detached fishing hooks stick to the magnet 43 at the bottom of the container 40 .

[0049] As the spool 10 rotates, the fishing hook is subjected to a force (centrifugal force) in the outer circumferential direction (diametrically outward), while the fishing line is maintained around the winding portion because one end is fixed to the hook portion 131 and wound around the winding portion of the spool 10. This causes the fishing line to be cut by the hook separation cutter 50, which has a cutting section 52 located radially outside the winding section of the spool 10 and at any position circumferentially around the spool 10 (in this embodiment, below the spool 10), and the fishing hook tied to the fishing line can be retrieved into the container 40.

[0050] Next, a method for removing the fishhooks accumulated at the bottom of the container 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0051] Figure 6 shows a method for removing the retrieved fishhook. Figure 6(a) and Figure 6(b) are both front views of the fishing tackle handle 1 in a state where it has been laid on its side. By pulling the bottom of the nested container 40, the container bottom 42 can be separated from the container body 41. As shown in Fig. 6(b), the removed container bottom 42 has protrusions at three locations. This convex portion fits into three concave portions on the container body 41, so that the container body 41 and the container bottom 42 become one unit when in use (cutting and separating the fishing hook), and the container bottom 42 can be removed after use.

[0052] FIG. 7 shows how the retrieved fishing hooks are discarded. By removing the container bottom 42, the cut and separated fishing hooks can be discarded as shown in FIG.

[0053] FIG. 8 shows a method for handling fishing line. A method for disposing of fishing line accumulated on the spool 10 by using the fishing tackle disposer 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0054] The spool 10 of this embodiment has a gap (slit 132) of just under 1 cm, which allows the user to insert scissors into the gap to cut off the wound thread or to drop it to the bottom of the container for collection.

[0055] That is, the guide 13 of the fishing tackle handle 1 of this embodiment has at least one notch 132 for receiving a blade to cut the wound fishing line. The blade here refers to, for example, scissors as shown in FIG.

[0056] (Second embodiment) FIG. 9 shows a fishing tackle handle 1 equipped with a line removal cutter 60. As shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the fishing line remaining in the winding portion 12 of the spool 10 after using the fishing tackle disposal tool 1 is disposed of with scissors. As shown in FIG. 9, the fishing tackle disposer 1 of this embodiment is provided with a line-removing cutter 60 at an upper corner end of the container 40, and the line-removing cutter 60 cuts the fishing line.

[0057] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the thread removal cutter 60. As shown in FIG. The thread removing cutter 60 has a sliding blade portion 61 housed within a cylinder 62, and the sliding blade portion 61 can be moved in and out by loosening a screw lock 63 provided on the outside of the cylinder 62. Further, at the tip of the cylinder 62, a mounting portion 64 is provided for mounting on the upper corner end of the container 40 (see FIG. 9).

[0058] 9(a), to operate the thread removal cutter 60, the user loosens the screw lock 63 and slides it in the direction of the outline arrow. The user can protrude the tip of the sliding blade portion 61 to a position where it contacts the winding portion 12 of the spool 10.

[0059] Here, the width of the sliding blade portion 61 is smaller than the width (axial length, i.e., the width between one guide 13 and the other guide 13) of the winding portion 12 of the spool 10. This is to prevent the sliding blade portion 61 from getting caught on the guide 13 when sliding.

[0060] After removing the needle from the device, the sliding blade 61 is projected from the cylinder 62, and the user can cut the thread by rotating the handle 20. When the user further rotates the handle 20, the cut thread can be dropped to the bottom of the container 40.

[0061] In summary, the fishing tackle handling tool 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a line removal cutter 60 that cuts the fishing line wound around the spool 10, and the line removal cutter 60 is equipped with a sliding blade portion 61 that can slide radially around the spool 10. In this embodiment, the thread removal cutter 60 is disposed in the container 40 .

[0062] By providing this thread removal cutter 60, it becomes possible to separate and collect the needle and thread without using scissors.

[0063] (Third embodiment) FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the fishing tackle handle 1 without the support pole 30. As shown in FIG. A hole is drilled in the top of the container 40, and the rotation shaft (rotation shaft 21) of the spool 10 is inserted through the hole, thereby connecting the spool 10 and the container 40. By omitting the support pole 30, there is an advantage that the fishing tackle processing tool 1 can be made smaller.

[0064] With the above-described configuration, the fishing tackle processing tool 1 of this embodiment has the following advantages. First, the hook can be continuously separated and recovered from the line by simply hooking the end of the fishing tackle on the hooking part 131 of the fishing tackle processor 1 and turning the handle 20. Therefore, even with tackles with multiple hooks, such as sabiki tackles, the hook and fishing line can be efficiently separated and recovered. The above-described configuration has the advantage that the user can continuously and efficiently dispose of the fishing hooks even when the fishing tackle has multiple leaders. Secondly, since the cut needles are attracted to the magnet 43 at the bottom of the nested container, the needles that have come into contact with the magnet 43 can be easily collected by removing the container bottom 42 from the container body. Thirdly, when using the fishing tackle disposal tool 1, any fishing line remaining in the winding section 12 can be cut and discarded by the user by inserting the blade of scissors or a cutter into the notch 132 in the spool 10 section. Fourth, with the line removal cutter 60 of the second embodiment, after retrieving the fishing hook, the fishing line remaining in the spool 12 can be cut and retrieved from the container bottom 42 of the container 40 simply by pushing out the blade of the line removal cutter 60 and turning the handle 20. This eliminates the need to use scissors to remove the fishing line.

[0065] 12 is a photograph (taken from the back) of a prototype of the fishing tackle handle 1. This fishing tackle handle 1 is made mainly of resin (plastic material) and is lightweight.

[0066] Figure 13 is a photograph (taken from the right side) of the prototype showing a fishing tackle hooked on the hook separation cutter 50. By rotating the spool 10, the fishing tackle is pulled from the front of the photograph to the back, and the fishing line is cut by the hook separation cutter 50, which has a roughly V-shaped cutting portion 52.

[0067] (Value-added uses) In the first to third embodiments, the fishing tackle disposal tool 1 is used for its original purpose of separating and retrieving a fishing hook from a fishing tackle, but the fishing tackle disposal tool 1 of the present invention can also be used in the following convenient way. That is, anglers usually fish using a reel wound with fishing line (main line), but the reel line needs to be changed in thickness and strength depending on the type of fish they are fishing for. For this reason, anglers who do not own multiple reels need to change the main line, and they need to first wind the main line from the reel onto a spool or bobbin and then rewind the line of the desired thickness onto the reel. A device called a fishing line winder is commercially available for such an operation, and the fishing tackle handling tool 1 of the present invention can be used as such a fishing line winder. That is, the fishing line can be easily retrieved from the reel by simply attaching the tip of the fishing line to the notch 132 of the spool 13 and rotating the handle. The fishing tackle disposer 1 can also be used to wind new fishing line wound on another spool onto the reel. That is, simply attach another spool to the rotating shaft 21 of the handle 20, attach one end of the fishing line to the bobbin of the reel, and wind it up.

[0068] (Variation) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes various modifications to the above-described embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0069] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the handle 20 is provided with the rotation shaft 21, but this is not limiting, and the spool 10, rather than the handle 20, may be provided with the rotation shaft. In other words, the handle 20 may be anything that is connected to the rotation shaft of the spool 10 and that rotates the spool 10 when rotated.

[0070] Furthermore, whether the handle 20 or the spool 10 has the rotary shaft 21, the rotary shaft 21 and the handle 20 do not have to be coaxial or directly connected to each other. For example, a main gear (toothed tooth) may be provided on the rotary shaft 21, and a slave gear that meshes with the main gear may be provided on the shaft side of the handle (the side opposite to the grip portion 22). In this case, the rotating shaft 21 and the shaft side of the handle are not coaxial but are arranged offset (eccentric), and bearings can be provided on the support 30 (or container 40) to allow the rotating shaft 21 and the shaft side of the handle to rotate. One advantage of connecting the rotating shaft 21 and the handle 20 via a gear in this way is that it allows for greater freedom in the installation position of the handle relative to the container, and another advantage is that by appropriately changing the gear ratio of the slave gear to the master gear, it is possible to increase the force (torque) required to separate the hook from the tackle, or to increase the winding speed when used as the above-mentioned fishing line winder.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the rotating shaft 21 is fitted into the axial hole portion 11 of the spool 10, but the rotating shaft 21 and the axial hole portion 11 of the spool 10 may be made easily detachable from each other in order to make the spool 10 easily detachable from the container 40, for example, when used as the above-mentioned fishing line winder. For example, the outer periphery of the rotary shaft 21 can be formed from an elastic material such as rubber and can be tapered to make it easier to insert into the shaft hole 11 . This allows the user to easily replace the spool 10 of the fishing tackle processing tool 1 with a spool that the user owns.

[0072] In the above-described embodiment, the container 40 has a function of collecting cut and separated fishing line and a function of holding the spool 10, but these functions may be separate. For example, a recovery section for recovering the cut and separated fishing line and a main body section (casing section) for supporting the spool 10 may be provided separately.

[0073] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the needle separation cutter 50 is disposed on the lower side of the spool 10 when viewed from the front, but the position of the needle separation cutter 50 is not limited to this. For example, the needle separating cutter 50 may be disposed on the side surface of the spool 10 (on the right or left side when viewed from the front). This is because the needle separating cutter 50 can cut the thread rotating in the circumferential direction of the spool 10 if it has a cutting portion located radially outside the winding portion of the spool 10 and parallel to the rotation axis.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cutting portion 52 of the needle separation cutter 50 is substantially V-shaped, but this is not limiting. The cutting portion may be linear, like a commercially available cutter knife. However, if the cutting portion 52 is substantially V-shaped, the efficiency of cutting the fishhook will be improved.

[0075] The same applies to the location of the line removal cutter 60. The location is not limited to the upper corner of the container 40, as long as it is a location where the wound fishing line can be cut.

[0076] Furthermore, in the fishing tackle handling tool 1 of the above-described embodiment, the spool 10 is rotated clockwise when viewed from the front, but it may be rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front. In this case, the needle separation cutter 50 faces in the opposite direction (to the left).

[0077] The invention including the above-described embodiment has the following features. The following corresponds to the claims at the time of filing of the present application. However, due to amendments to the claims after filing, the claims may differ from the description of the amended claims. (1) In a first aspect, a fishing tackle processing tool is provided, comprising: a spool having a winding section for winding up fishing tackle; a rotating shaft for rotatably supporting the spool; a handle connected to the rotating shaft for rotating the spool by a rotating operation; a hook separation cutter having a cutting section radially outward from the winding section of the spool and at any position around the spool, for cutting fishhooks from the fishing tackle wound onto the spool; and a container arranged below the spool and the hook separation cutter for collecting the cut fishhooks. (2) In the second aspect, the device further includes a support connecting the spool and the container, The fishing tackle handling tool according to the first aspect is characterized in that the support can be rotated around a support adjustment screw that can be tightened or loosened at the connection part with the container. In this case, the spool 10 can be moved, so that when the hook separating cutter 50 is hidden by the spool 10, the hook separating cutter 50 can be exposed and the fishing line with the attached hook can be directly cut. (3) In a third aspect, there is provided the fishing tackle disposal tool according to the first aspect, characterized in that the container is provided with a magnet. In this case, the metal fishing hooks can be collected in one place, which has the advantage of making disposal easier. (4) In a fourth aspect, there is provided a fishing tackle processing tool as described in the first aspect, characterized in that the container comprises a container body and a container bottom that fits into the container body, and the container bottom is removable. In this case, there is an advantage that the recovered fishing hooks can be easily removed from the fishing tackle disposal tool and can be easily disposed of. (5) In a fifth aspect, there is provided a fishing tackle handling tool as described in the first aspect, further characterized in that the cutting portion narrows from the fishing line inlet located at the front side of the spool in the circumferential direction toward the back side of the spool in the circumferential direction. In this case, there is an advantage that the fishing hook is less likely to be cut properly and remain tied to the fishing line around the winding section. (6) In a sixth aspect, there is provided a fishing tackle handling tool as described in the first aspect, further characterized in that it is provided with guides on both sides of the winding section that are larger in diameter than the winding section, and the guides have at least one notch for inserting a blade to cut the wound fishing line. In this case, there is an advantage that the fishing line wound on the spool can be easily cut and discarded. (7) In a seventh aspect, there is provided a fishing tackle handling tool as described in the first aspect, characterized in that the container further comprises a line removal cutter for cutting the fishing line wound around the spool, and the line removal cutter comprises a sliding blade portion that can slide radially around the spool. In this case, there is an advantage that the fishing line wound around the spool can be cut and discarded without the need for additional scissors or the like. [Industrial Applicability]
