Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] The luer described in Patent Document 1 has a body, a guidewire, a first weight, a second weight heavier than the first weight, and a step portion. The guidewire extends linearly in the front-to-rear direction inside the body. The first weight is disposed behind the second weight inside the body. The second weight is supported by the guidewire inside the body so as to be movable in the front-to-rear direction.

[0003] In this type of lure, when the lure is cast, the first and second weights move linearly toward the tail along the guide wire due to inertial force. When the lure hits the water, the first and second weights move linearly toward the head along the guide wire. When the lure is swimming, the first weight is positioned between the second weight and the step portion. This restricts the rearward movement of the second weight when the lure is swimming. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5530677 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In conventional lures, the first weight is positioned between the second weight and the step portion, so that the center of gravity of the lure is set toward the head side when the lure swims. In this case, the first weight and the second weight move independently, so when the second weight moves toward the head side, the first weight does not move toward the head side, and there is a risk that the first weight will not be positioned between the second weight and the step portion.

[0006] Furthermore, in order to design the first weight so that it does not exceed the step when the lure is swimming, it is necessary to adjust the weight and diameter of the first weight through trial and error.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a lure that has a simple structure and can stabilize the position of its center of gravity when swimming. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a lure comprises a body, a support portion, a weight, and a restricting portion. The body has a head at the front and a tail at the rear. The support portion extends in the front-to-rear direction inside the body. The weight is supported by the support portion so as to be movable in the front-to-rear direction. At least a portion of the weight is movable in a transverse direction that intersects the front-to-rear direction. The restricting portion is provided on the inner surface of the body at the front of the body. The restricting portion is configured to restrict rearward movement of the weight. When at least a portion of the weight moves in the transverse direction, the weight is restricted by the restricting portion.

[0009] In this lure, the weight moves in the front-to-back direction along the support part. Here, when the weight is positioned at the front of the body, at least a portion of the weight moves in the cross direction, and the weight is restricted by the restricting part. In this way, in this lure, the rearward movement of the weight can be easily restricted simply by providing a restricting part at the front of the body. In other words, in this lure, the center of gravity of the lure can be stabilized while swimming with a simple structure.

[0010] With respect to the second aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first aspect is configured as follows: The support part is supported on the body so as to be movable in the intersecting direction. When the support part moves in the intersecting direction, the weight is restricted by the restricting part. With this configuration, the backward movement of the weight can be reliably restricted by engaging the restricting part with the weight.

[0011] With respect to the third aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the second aspect is configured as follows. The restricting portion is a recess provided on the inner surface of the body. With this configuration, the weight can be engaged with the recess to more reliably restrict the rearward movement of the weight.

[0012] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the third aspect further includes a magnet provided on the body so as to face the recess across the support. At least a portion of the weight is formed of a magnetic material. With this configuration, the engagement between the weight and the recess can be easily released by the magnetic force of the magnet. Furthermore, the released state of the engagement between the weight and the recess can be suitably maintained.

[0013] With respect to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the fourth aspect is configured as follows. The support part is a shaft member formed in a shaft shape. The shaft member is swingable around the tail side as the swing center. With this configuration, the weight can be easily moved toward the magnet.

[0014] With respect to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the second or third aspect further includes a biasing member that biases the weight at least forward. With this configuration, the weight can be easily returned to the head side.

[0015] With respect to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first aspect is configured as follows. The weight has a weight main body and a sliding part. The restricting part includes an inclined part that slopes toward the outer surface of the body. The sliding part moves in the cross direction to come into contact with the inclined part, and the inclined part restricts the rearward movement of the weight by sliding resistance with the sliding part. With this configuration, the rearward movement of the weight can be easily restricted by bringing the sliding part of the weight into contact with the inclined part of the restricting part.

[0016] With respect to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the seventh aspect is configured as follows. The support part is a shaft member formed in an axial shape. The sliding part has a main body part and a hole part provided in the main body part and through which the shaft member is inserted. The inner diameter of the hole part is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft member. In this configuration, by forming the inner diameter of the hole part of the sliding part larger than the outer diameter of the shaft member, the sliding part can be easily moved in the cross direction.

[0017] With respect to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the seventh or eighth aspect further includes a biasing member that biases the weight at least forward. With this configuration, the weight can be easily returned to the head side. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to the present invention, the position of the center of gravity of a lure can be stabilized while the lure is swimming with a simple structure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] [First embodiment] In the first embodiment, the lure according to the present invention will be described using the lure 1 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the lure 1 includes a body 3, a support portion 5, a weight 7, a restricting portion 9, and a biasing member 11. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the weight 7 engaged with the restricting portion 9.

[0021] (body) 2 and 3, the body 3 has a main body 13, a first slit portion 17, a support hole 19 (see FIG. 3), and a second slit portion 22. The main body 13 has a head 13a at the front and a tail 13b at the rear.

[0022] 1, the outer shape of the main body 13 is formed in a streamlined shape that is long in one direction from the front to the rear. In the lure 1 in which a fishing line (not shown) is connected to the line eye 21, the direction in which the lure 1 moves as it is pulled by the fishing line is determined as "front" and "forward."

[0023] The direction toward the water surface when the lure 1 is moving forward in the water is determined as "upward." The direction toward the water bottom is determined as "downward." The left-right direction is perpendicular to the front-back direction and the up-down direction. The crossing direction intersects with the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the up-down direction is sometimes used to mean the crossing direction.

[0024] 1, the main body 13 includes a first main body 29 and a second main body 31. The first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are formed by dividing the main body 13 by a plane defined by the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

[0025] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first main body 29 includes a first joint surface 29a. The first joint surface 29a extends in the front-to-rear direction. A first front wall 23a is provided on the inner lateral surface of the first main body 29 on the head 13a side. The first front wall 23a extends in the up-down direction. A first rear wall 25a is provided on the inner lateral surface of the first main body 29 on the tail 13b side. The first rear wall 25a extends in the up-down direction.

[0026] A first positioning wall 27a is provided on the inner lateral surface on the tail 13b side of the first main body 29. The first positioning wall 27a is provided between the first front wall 23a and the first rear wall 25a in the front-rear direction. The first positioning wall 27a extends in the up-down direction.

[0027] A first upper rib 15a is provided on the inner surface of the first main body 29. The first upper rib 15a extends above the hook eye storage portion 41 in the front-rear direction.

[0028] A first lower rib 16a is provided on the inner surface of the first main body 29. The first lower rib 16a is disposed between the first upper rib 15a and the hook eye storage portion 41 in the up-down direction. The first lower rib 16a extends in the front-to-rear direction above the hook eye storage portion 41.

[0029] A first front rib 18a is provided on the inner surface of the first main body 29. The first front rib 18a is disposed forward of the hook eye housing portion 41. The first front rib 18a extends downward from the front portion of the first lower rib 16a.

[0030] 1, the second body 31 is disposed opposite the first body 29. The second body 31 is configured to be a mirror image of the first body 29. In other words, the configuration of the second body 31 is substantially the same as the configuration of the first body 29. For this reason, the configuration of the second body 31 that corresponds to the configuration of the first body 29 is given the symbol b, and the configuration of the second body 31 given the symbol b is written in parentheses in each drawing.

[0031] For example, the second main body 31 has a second front wall 23b, a second rear wall 25b, a second positioning wall 27b, a second upper rib 15b, a second lower rib 16b, and a second front rib 18b. The first front wall 23a and the second front wall 23b form the front wall 23. The first rear wall 25a and the second rear wall 25b form the rear wall 25. The first positioning wall 27a and the second positioning wall 27b form the positioning portion 27.

[0032] The first upper rib 15a and the second upper rib 15b form the upper rib 15. The first lower rib 16a and the second lower rib 16b form the lower rib 16. The first front rib 18a and the second front rib 18b form the front rib 18.

[0033] 2 and 3, by joining the first joining surface 29a of the first body 29 and the joining surface 29b of the second body 31, an internal space is formed between the first body 29 and the second body 31. A first slit portion 17 is formed between the first front wall 23a and the second front wall 23b.

[0034] The first slit portion 17 is provided inside the main body 13 on the head 13a side. The support portion 5 is inserted into the first slit portion 17. The first slit portion 17 guides the front end portion of the support portion 5 in the cross direction. More specifically, the first slit portion 17 guides the front end portion of the support portion 5 in the up-down direction. The swing range of the support portion 5 is determined by the length of the first slit portion 17 in the up-down direction.

[0035] A support hole 19 is formed between the first rear wall 25a and the second rear wall 25b. The rear end of the support part 5 is inserted into the support hole 19. The support hole 19 supports the rear end of the support part 5 so that it can swing. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a swing center C is defined at the position of the support hole 19.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a second slit portion 22 is provided between the first positioning wall 27a and the second positioning wall 27b. The second slit portion 22 is provided inside the main body 13 on the tail 13b side. The rear portion of the support portion 5 and the rear portion of the biasing member 11 are inserted into the second slit portion 22. The second slit portion 22 guides the rear portion of the support portion 5 in the cross direction. Specifically, the second slit portion 22 guides the rear end portion of the support portion 5 in the up-and-down direction.

[0037] The positioning portion 27 is provided inside the main body 13 on the tail 13b side. When the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the positioning portion 27 is formed by a first positioning wall 27a of the first main body 29 and a second positioning wall 27b of the second main body 31. When the weight 7 moves rearward, the rear portion of the weight 7 abuts against the positioning portion 27, thereby positioning the weight 7 on the tail 13b side.

[0038] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the upper rib 15 is disposed above the weight 7. When the first body 29 and the second body 31 are joined together, the upper rib 15 is disposed above the lower rib 16. The lower rib 16 is disposed below the support portion 5 and the biasing member 11. A space is formed between the upper rib 15 and the lower rib 16 so that the weight 7 can pass between them. The front rib 18 extends downward from the front portion of the lower rib 16, forward of the hook eye storage portion 41.

[0039] (Support part) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the support part 5 supports the weight 7. The support part 5 extends in the front-rear direction inside the main body 13. The support part 5 is disposed inside the main body 13. Specifically, the support part 5 is an axial member formed in an axial shape.

[0040] 3 and 4, the support part 5 is supported by the main body 13 so as to be movable in the intersecting direction. In this embodiment, the support part 5 is supported by the main body 13 so that the tail side part of the support part 5 becomes the swing center C when the support part 5 supports the weight body 7.

[0041] Specifically, the front end of the support part 5 is inserted into the first slit part 17. The rear part of the support part 5 is inserted into the second slit part 22. The rear end of the support part 5 is inserted into the support hole 19 and engaged with either the first rear wall 25a or the second rear wall 25b.

[0042] The front end and rear end of the support part 5 move up and down separately within the first slit part 17 and the second slit part 22 depending on the position of the weight 7. The rear end part of the support part 5 is supported by the support hole 19 so as to be able to swing, with position C of the support hole 19 as the swing center. In this way, the support part 5 swings around the swing center C, which is the rear end part of the support part 5.

[0043] (pyramid) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, weight 7 is supported by support portion 5 inside main body 13. As shown in Figure 3, weight 7 is supported by support portion 5 so as to be movable in the front-to-rear direction. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, weight 7 is supported by support portion 5 so as to be movable in the up-and-down direction. As shown in Figure 4, weight 7 is restricted by restricting portion 9 as it moves downward.

[0044] The weight body 7 has a weight body 7a and a hole portion 7b. The weight body 7a is arranged between the upper rib 15 and the lower inner surface of the body main body 13 in the vertical direction. The hole portion 7b is provided in the weight body 7a. The hole portion 7b penetrates the weight body 7a in the front-rear direction. The support portion 5 is inserted into the hole portion 7b. With this configuration, the weight body 7a moves in the front-rear direction along the support portion 5, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0045] The weight 7 moves in the front-to-rear direction between a first position on the head 13a side (position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 3) and a second position on the tail 13b side (position indicated by a two-dot dashed line in FIG. 3). The first position on the head 13a side is a position where the front part of the weight 7 is closest to the front wall 23. In this embodiment, the first position on the head 13a side is a position where the front part of the weight 7 abuts against the front wall 23.

[0046] The second position on the tail 13b side is a position where the rear part of the weight 7 is closest to the positioning portion 27. In this embodiment, the second position on the tail 13b side is a position where the rear part of the weight 7 abuts against the positioning portion 27.

[0047] When a downward force acts on weight 7 in a state where weight 7 is in the first position on the head 13a side and close to upper rib 15 as shown in FIG. 3, support portion 5 swings downward as shown in FIG. 4. As a result, weight 7 engages with restriction portion 9. When an upward force acts on weight 7 in the state shown in FIG. 4, support portion 5 swings upward as shown in FIG. 3. As a result, weight 7 disengages from restriction portion 9.

[0048] (Regulatory Department) As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the restricting portion 9 is configured to be able to restrict the rearward movement of the weight 7. The restricting portion 9 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13 in the front portion of the main body 13. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the restricting portion 9 is a recess 9a provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. The recess 9a is provided in the front portion and at the bottom of the main body 13. Specifically, the recess 9a is formed in a concave shape so that the weight 7 can be placed therein. The recess 9a is formed by the front wall 23, the inner surface 13c on the lower side of the main body 13, the inner surfaces 13d on both sides of the main body 13, and the front rib 18.

[0049] (biasing member) The biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the biasing member 11 is a coil spring. The biasing member 11 is disposed between the weight 7 and the rear wall 25. When the weight 7 is disposed in the first position on the head 13a side, the biasing member 11 is compressed.

[0050] In the lure 1 having the above configuration, as shown in Fig. 3, the weight 7 is supported by the support part 5 and moves in the front-to-back direction along the support part 5 between the front and rear parts of the body 3. In detail, the weight 7 moves in the front-to-back direction along the support part 5 between a first position on the head 13a side (position indicated by a solid line in Fig. 3) and a second position on the tail 13b side (position indicated by a two-dot dashed line in Fig. 3).

[0051] Here, as shown in Fig. 3, when a downward force acts on the weight 7 in a state where the weight 7 is located at the first position on the head 13a side, the weight 7 moves downward as shown in Fig. 4. As a result, the rearward movement of the weight 7 is restricted by the restricting portion 9 as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. In this way, with the lure 1, the rearward movement of the weight 7 can be easily restricted simply by providing the restricting portion 9 at the front of the body 3. In other words, with the lure 1, the position of the center of gravity of the lure while swimming can be stabilized with a simple structure.

[0052] In addition, in the fishing lure 1, the weight 7 can be reliably restricted from moving backward by engaging the weight 7 with the recess 9a that functions as the restricting portion 9. In addition, in the fishing lure 1, the support portion 5 is formed in an axial shape, and by swinging the support portion 5 around the tail side of the support portion 5 as the swing center, the weight 7 can be easily moved up and down. In addition, in the fishing lure 1, the biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction, so the weight 7 can be easily returned to the head 13a side.

[0053] <Modification> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0054] In the configuration of the first embodiment, the lure 1 may further include a magnet 10 as shown in FIG. 5. In this case, at least a portion of the weight 7 is made of a magnetic material. In this embodiment, the weight 7 is made of a magnetic material. As a result, the weight is attracted by the magnet 10.

[0055] The magnet 10 is provided on the main body 13 so that the support part 5 is positioned between the recessed part 9a and the magnet 10 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the magnet 10 is provided on the upper rib 15 of the main body 13 above the recessed part 9a. In this configuration, when the lure 1 is hung with the head side facing upward, the disengaged state of the recessed part 9a can be maintained by the magnetic force of the magnet 10. This allows the weight 7 to move smoothly toward the tail side during casting.

[0056] [Second embodiment] The configuration of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment, except for the configuration of the body 3, the configuration of the restricting portion 9, and the configuration of the weight 7 in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same components as in the first embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, a description of the same components as in the first embodiment will be omitted. The description of the components omitted in the second embodiment follows the description of the first embodiment.

[0057] The lure 101 of the second embodiment is the lure shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 7, the lure 101 includes a body 103, a support portion 5, a weight 107, a restricting portion 109, and a biasing member 11. The lure 101 shown in Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the lure 101 when the weight 107 is engaged with the restricting portion 109. The configuration of the support portion 5 and the configuration of the biasing member 11 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0058] (body) 7 and 8, the body 103 has a main body 113, a first support hole 117, a second support hole 19, and an insertion hole 122. The first support hole 117 is provided in the main body 113.

The front portion of the support portion 5 is inserted into the first support hole 117.

[0059] The configuration of the second support hole 19 is the same as that of the first embodiment. The front end of the support part 5 is fixed to the main body 113, for example, to the first hook eye housing part 42 of the main body 113. The rear end of the support part 5 is inserted through the support hole 19 and engaged with either the first rear wall 25a or the second rear wall 25b. In the second embodiment, the support part 5 extends in the front-rear direction and does not swing as in the first embodiment.

[0060] The insertion hole 122 is provided in the main body 113. Similar to the second slit portion 22 of the first embodiment, the insertion hole 122 is formed by joining the first joining surface 29a of the first main body 29 and the joining surface 29b of the second main body 31. A rear portion of the support portion 5 and a rear portion of the urging member 11 are inserted into the insertion hole 122.

[0061] (pyramid) As shown in FIG. 7 , the weight body 107 has a weight main body 57 and a sliding portion 67. The weight main body 57 is disposed between the upper rib 15 and the lower inner surface of the body main body 113 in the vertical direction.

The support portion 5 is inserted into the first hole portion 57b. With this configuration, the weight main body 57 moves in the front-rear direction along the support portion 5.

[0062] The sliding portion 67 is disposed between the upper rib 15 and the lower inner surface of the body main body 113 in the up-down direction. The sliding portion 67 is disposed adjacent to the weight main body 57 in the front-to-rear direction. The sliding portion 67 is disposed rearward of the weight main body 57. The sliding portion 67 is disposed between the weight main body 57 and the urging member 11. More specifically, the front portion of the sliding portion 67 is disposed adjacent to the rear portion of the weight main body 57. A washer 77 is disposed rearward of the sliding portion 67. The urging member 11 comes into contact with the washer 77.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9A, and 9B, the sliding portion 67 is configured to slide against the restricting portion 109. The sliding portion 67 is preferably made of a highly slidable synthetic resin or a highly slidable metal. The sliding portion 67 has a second main body portion 67a and a second hole portion 67b. The second main body portion 67a has a lower surface 67a1 and a contact surface 67a2. The lower surface 67a1 extends in the front-rear direction. The contact surface 67a2 extends upward and rearward from the lower surface 67a1. The contact surface 67a2 comes into contact with the restricting portion 109.

[0064] As shown in Figures 9A and 9B, the second hole 67b is provided in the second main body 67a. The second hole 67b penetrates the second main body 67a in the front-rear direction. The shaft-shaped support part 5 is inserted into the second hole 67b. With this configuration, the sliding part 67 moves in the front-rear direction along the support part 5.

[0065] As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the inner diameter of the second hole 67b is larger than the inner diameter of the first hole 57b. The inner diameter of the second hole 67b is larger than the outer diameter of the support portion 5. As shown in FIG. 9A, when the weight 7 is disposed at the first position on the head 13a side, the contact surface 67a2 of the second main body portion 67a contacts the restricting portion 109. In this case, the lower surface 67a1 of the second main body portion 67a is disposed at a distance from the restricting portion 109 in the up-down direction. In this state, the support portion 5 is positioned at an upper position inside the second hole 67b.

[0066] 9B, when weight 7 is disposed at the second position on the tail 13b side, a lower surface 67a1 of second main body portion 67a contacts restricting portion 109. In this case, contact surface 67a2 of second main body portion 67a is disposed spaced apart in the up-down direction from first lower surface 113a on the lower side of main body 113. In this state, support portion 5 is positioned downward inside second hole portion 67b.

[0067] (Regulatory Department) 8, 9A, and 9B, restricting portion 109 is provided on the inner surface of main body 113. Restricting portion 109 includes inclined surface 109a (an example of an inclined portion). Inclined surface 109a restricts rearward movement of weight 107 by sliding resistance with sliding portion 67.

[0068] 8 and 9A, the inclined surface 109a is provided in the front-to-rear direction between the first lower surface 113a of the main body 113 and the second lower surface 113b of the main body 113. The first lower surface 113a is formed by the upper surface of the second hook eye housing portion 41 and extends in the front-to-rear direction.

[0069] The second lower surface 113b extends in the front-to-rear direction forward of the first lower surface 113a. The rear end of the second lower surface 113b is located lower than the front end of the first lower surface 113a. The inclined surface 109a extends upward from the front end of the second lower surface 113b toward the rear end of the first lower surface 113a.

[0070] In other words, the inclined surface 109a is inclined from the front end of the first lower surface 113a toward the outer surface of the main body 113. In this embodiment, the inclined surface 109a is formed by the front surface of the second hook eye receiving portion 41.

[0071] In lure 101 having the above configuration, weight 107 moves in the front-to-back direction along support part 5 between the front and rear parts of body 103 while being supported by support part 5. In detail, weight 107 moves in the front-to-back direction along support part 5 between a first position on the head 13a side (see the solid line in FIG. 8) and a second position on the tail 13b side (see the two-dot dash line in FIG. 8).

[0072] 9A , when weight 107 is located at the first position on the head 13a side, contact surface 67a2 of sliding portion 67 of weight 107 contacts inclined surface 109a of restricting portion 109. In this state, when a rearward force acts on weight 107, the sliding resistance of contact surface 67a2 of sliding portion 67 and inclined surface 109a of restricting portion 109 restricts the rearward movement of weight 107.

[0073] In this way, in the fishing lure 1, the rearward movement of the weight 107 can be easily restricted simply by providing the restricting portion 109 on the body 3. In other words, in the fishing lure 1, the position of the center of gravity of the fishing lure while swimming can be stabilized with a simple structure.

[0074] Furthermore, in the lure 101, the sliding part 67 has a second main body part 67a and a second hole part 67b. The inner diameter of the second hole part 67b is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft-shaped support part 5. In this configuration, by forming the inner diameter of the second hole part 67b of the sliding part 67 to be larger than the outer diameter of the support part, the sliding part 67 can be easily moved in the intersecting direction. Note that the second hole part 67b may be an elongated hole extending in the intersecting direction. For example, the elongated hole extends in the vertical direction. It is preferable that the cross section of the elongated hole is oval. [Explanation of symbols]
