Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to lures. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a lure with a metal wire disposed in the body. The wire has multiple eyes to which a fishing line or a hook can be connected. The body is formed by gluing two halves together. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-177270 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In lures of the prior art, the area where the wire is placed is thick. Therefore, when the body is molded, there is a risk of sink marks occurring in the thick area. If sink marks occur in the body, there is a risk of poor adhesion between the halves. If poor adhesion occurs, there is a risk of water seeping into the body. In contrast, by providing a hollow portion in the thick area, the occurrence of sink marks can be suppressed. Therefore, by providing a hollow portion, water can be suppressed from seeping into the body. In lures with a hollow portion, for example, a wire is placed in the hollow portion.
[0005] However, when a wire is placed in the hollow portion, there is a risk of water seeping in between the wire and the body. If water seeps in between the wire and the body, it may cause problems with the lure. For example, if water seeps in between the wire and the body, the wire may corrode. Furthermore, if water seeps in between the wire and the body, the center of gravity of the lure may change due to the seeping water. Therefore, if water seeps in between the wire and the body, the lure's movement in the water may be reduced.
[0006] One object of the present disclosure is to provide a lure that reduces the occurrence of defects. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] A lure according to a first aspect of the present disclosure includes a body, a wire, and a filling member. The body is configured to have a hollow portion. The wire has a plurality of eyes to which a fishing line or a hook portion can be connected and is configured to be disposed in the hollow portion. The filling member is configured to fill and close the hollow portion.
[0008] According to the lure of the first aspect, by providing a hollow portion in the body for arranging the wire, it is possible to prevent sink marks from occurring in the body, for example, when the body is molded. The lure can prevent water from entering the hollow portion by blocking the hollow portion with the filling member. Therefore, the lure can prevent defects from occurring. For example, by preventing water from entering the hollow portion, the lure can prevent corrosion of the wire. Furthermore, by preventing water from entering the hollow portion, it is possible to prevent changes in the center of gravity of the lure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the lure's movement in water.
[0009] In a lure of a second aspect according to the first aspect, the filling member is configured to be filled into the opening of the hollow portion.
[0010] The lure of the second aspect can prevent water from entering through the opening of the hollow portion. Therefore, the lure can prevent malfunctions. For example, the lure can prevent corrosion of the wire. Furthermore, the lure can prevent a decrease in the lure's movement in water.
[0011] In a lure of a third aspect according to the first aspect, the filling member is configured to fill the entire hollow portion.
[0012] The lure of the third aspect can prevent water from entering the hollow portion. For example, even if water enters the opening of the hollow portion, the lure can prevent water from entering the hollow portion through the opening. Therefore, the lure can prevent malfunctions from occurring. For example, the lure can prevent corrosion of the wire. Furthermore, the lure can prevent a decrease in the lure's movement in water.
[0013] In a fourth aspect of the lure according to any one of the first to third aspects, the hollow portion includes a first hollow portion and a second hollow portion. The second hollow portion is configured to be separated from the first hollow portion by a partition wall. The wire is configured to be disposed in the second hollow portion. The filling member is configured to fill the second hollow portion.
[0014] According to the lure of the fourth aspect, the intrusion of water into the second hollow portion in which the wire is disposed can be suppressed. By suppressing the intrusion of water into the second hollow portion, the lure can suppress the intrusion of water from the second hollow portion into the first hollow portion. Therefore, the lure can suppress the occurrence of defects. For example, by suppressing the intrusion of water into the second hollow portion, the lure can suppress corrosion of the wire disposed in the second hollow portion. By suppressing the intrusion of water into the second hollow portion, the lure can suppress changes in the center of gravity of the lure. By suppressing the intrusion of water into the first hollow portion, the lure can suppress changes in the center of gravity of the lure. Therefore, the lure can suppress a decrease in the lure's movement in water.
[0015] The lure of the fifth aspect according to the fourth aspect includes a weight portion disposed in the first hollow portion and configured to move within the first hollow portion.
[0016] According to the lure of the fifth aspect, malfunction of the weight section can be suppressed by suppressing the intrusion of water into the first hollow section. For example, if water infiltrates the first hollow section, the water will hinder the movement of the weight section. Furthermore, if the water that has infiltrated the first hollow section evaporates and components contained in the water adhere to the weight section, the movement of the weight section will be hindered. By suppressing the intrusion of water into the first hollow section, the lure can suppress the hindering of the movement of the weight section. Therefore, the lure can move the weight section to a suitable position. For example, when the lure is cast, the lure can move the weight section to the side opposite to the side to which the fishing line is connected. Therefore, when the lure is cast, the lure can suppress a decrease in casting distance.
[0017] The lure of the sixth side according to the fifth side includes a biasing portion that biases the sinker toward one of the multiple eyes to which a fishing line can be connected.
[0018] According to the lure of the sixth aspect, by preventing water from entering the first hollow portion, it is possible to prevent the biasing of the weight portion by the biasing portion from being hindered. Therefore, when the lure is in water, the biasing portion can hold the weight portion on the eye side to which the fishing line is connected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lure's movement in water from being reduced.
[0019] A seventh aspect of the present invention is directed to a lure according to the fourth aspect, and includes a vibrating body. The vibrating body is disposed in the first hollow portion and configured to be vibratably connected to the body. The body is configured to allow light to pass through the first hollow portion. The vibrating body is configured to reflect light.
[0020] According to the lure of the seventh aspect, malfunction of the vibrator can be suppressed by suppressing intrusion of water into the first hollow portion. For example, if water penetrates into the first hollow portion, the water will interfere with the vibration of the vibrator. Furthermore, if the water that penetrates into the first hollow portion evaporates and components contained in the water adhere to the vibrator, the vibration of the vibrator will be prevented. By suppressing intrusion of water into the first hollow portion, the lure can prevent interference with the vibration of the vibrator. Therefore, the lure can suitably attract target organisms. By suppressing intrusion of water into the first hollow portion, the lure can prevent interference with light reflection. For example, the lure can suppress a decrease in the reflectivity of the vibrator. Furthermore, the lure can suppress a decrease in light transmittance due to the body. Therefore, the lure can suitably attract target organisms.
[0021] In a lure of an eighth aspect according to the first to seventh aspects, the body is made of resin.
[0022] According to the lure of the eighth aspect, when a resin body is molded, it is possible to prevent sink marks from occurring in the body. The lure can prevent water from entering the hollow portion formed in the resin body. Therefore, the lure can prevent defects from occurring. [Effects of the Invention]
[0023] According to the lure of the present disclosure, the occurrence of defects can be suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

A plurality of third eyes 90c may be provided in the front-to-rear direction.
[0052] The connecting portion 92 connects multiple eyes 90. The connecting portion 92 is formed to extend in the front-to-rear direction. The connecting portion 92 is provided in the second hollow portion 18. A portion of the front end side of the connecting portion 92 is provided in the first communicating hole 80. A portion of the rear end side of the connecting portion 92 is provided in the second communicating hole 82.
[0053] As shown in FIG. 7, the filling member 8 is configured to fill the second hollow portion 18. The filling member 8 is a waterproof member. The filling member 8 is made of silicone resin, epoxy resin, or the like. The filling member 8 is filled so as to cover the connecting portion 92 arranged in the second hollow portion 18. The filling member 8 is configured to close the second hollow portion 18. As shown in FIG. 2, the filling member 8 is configured to fill the entire second hollow portion 18.
[0054] 2, weight portion 10 is disposed in first hollow portion 16. Weight portion 10 is configured to move within first hollow portion 16. Weight portion 10 includes a main body portion 100, a first mounting portion 102, and a second mounting portion 104.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 7, the main body 100 is disposed below the presser plates 30, 60. As shown in FIG. 2, the first mounting portion 102 is formed so as to protrude upward from the main body 100. The first mounting portion 102 is provided on the front end side of the main body 100. A through hole is formed in the first mounting portion 102. The through hole passes through the first mounting portion 102 in the front-rear direction. The second mounting portion 104 is formed so as to protrude upward from the main body 100. The second mounting portion 104 is provided rearward of the first mounting portion 102. A through hole is formed in the second mounting portion 104. The through hole passes through the second mounting portion 104 in the front-rear direction.
[0056] A shaft 106 is inserted into each through-hole. The shaft 106 is formed to extend in the front-rear direction. The shaft 106 on the front end side is inserted into the first insertion hole 32 of the first support part 26 and the first insertion hole 62 (see FIG. 5) of the first support part 56 (see FIG. 5). The shaft 106 on the rear end side is inserted into the second insertion hole 34 of the second support part 28 and the second insertion hole 64 (see FIG. 5) of the second support part 58 (see FIG. 5). The shaft 106 is supported by the first support parts 26, 56 and the second support parts 28, 58. The weight part 10 is movable in the front-rear direction along the shaft 106.
[0057] The biasing portion 12 biases the weight portion 10 toward the first eye 90a of the multiple eyes 90 to which the fishing line can be connected. The biasing portion 12 is a compression coil spring. A shaft 106 is inserted into the biasing portion 12. The biasing portion 12 is inserted into a through hole in the second mounting portion 104. The front end of the biasing portion 12 abuts against the first mounting portion 102. The rear end of the biasing portion 12 abuts against the second support portions 28, 58 (see Figure 5). The front end of the biasing portion 12 may abut against the second mounting portion 104.
[0058] When the lure 2 is cast, the weight portion 10 moves backward due to inertia against the biasing force of the biasing portion 12. When the lure 2 lands in water, the weight portion 10 moves forward due to the biasing force of the biasing portion 12. The weight portion 10 is held forward in water by the biasing force of the biasing portion 12. When the weight portion 10 swings upward, the main body portion 100 abuts against the pressure plates 30, 60. That is, the upward movement of the weight portion 10 is restricted by the pressure plates 30, 60. Therefore, bending of the shaft 106 is suppressed. The pressure plates 30, 60 are provided to extend in the front-to-rear direction so that the weight portion 10 can move in the front-to-rear direction even when the weight portion 10 swings upward.
[0059] Next, a manufacturing method of the lure 2 will be described. The first half 20 and the second half 50 are each manufactured by, for example, injection molding. A second recess 24 is formed in the first half 20. As a result, the portion of the first half 20 where the wire 6 is disposed does not become thick. Therefore, the occurrence of sink marks in the portion of the first half 20 where the wire 6 is disposed is suppressed. Furthermore, a second recess 54 is formed in the second half 50. As a result, the portion of the second half 50 where the wire 6 is disposed does not become thick. Therefore, the occurrence of sink marks in the portion of the second half 50 where the wire 6 is disposed is suppressed. In other words, the second recesses 24, 54 are recesses for suppressing the occurrence of sink marks.
[0060] The filling member 8 and the wire 6 are integrated by outsert molding the filling member 8 around the outer periphery of the wire 6. The filling member 8 may also be bonded to the wire 6 to be integrated therewith.
[0061] For example, the wire 6 and the filling member 8 are placed in the second recess 24 of the first half body 20. Furthermore, the weight 10 and the like are placed in the first recess 22 of the first half body 20. Then, the first half body 20 and the second half body 50 are joined together to produce the lure 2.
[0062] The wire 6 may be disposed in the second recess 24 of the first half-body 20 without being integrated with the filling member 8. In this case, the first half-body 20 with the wire 6 disposed in the second recess 24 is joined to the second half-body 50. The filling member 8 is then filled into the second hollow portion 18 formed by the joined first half-body 20 and second half-body 50. That is, after the first half-body 20 and the second half-body 50 are assembled, the filling member 8 is filled into the second hollow portion 18. The filling member 8 is filled into the second hollow portion 18 through at least one of the first communicating hole 80, the second communicating hole 82, and the third communicating hole 84.
[0063] The filling member 8 may also be formed by double molding (two-color molding) of the first half-body 20 and the second half-body 50. In this case, a portion of the filling member 8 is double molded in the second recess 24 of the first half-body 20. Also, a portion of the filling member 8 is double molded in the second recess 54 of the second half-body 50. The wire 6 is, for example, placed in the filling member 8 molded in the first half-body 20. Then, the first half-body 20 and the second half-body 50 are joined. After the first half-body 20 and the second half-body 50 are joined, it is desirable to inject the filling member 8 through at least one of the first communicating hole 80, the second communicating hole 82, and the third communicating hole 84.
[0064] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8 , it is desirable that the filling member 8 be formed so that the welding surface 8a of the filling member 8 is offset from the center line P of the wire 6 in the left-right direction. If the welding surface of the filling member 8 coincides with the center line P of the wire 6 in the left-right direction, for example, when a fish is caught on the hook portion and a force is applied to the wire 6 in the up-down direction, the force applied to the wire 6 acts directly on the welding surface of the filling member 8. In contrast, by forming the filling member 8 so that the welding surface 8a of the filling member 8 is offset from the center line P of the wire 6 in the left-right direction, the lure 2 can reduce the force applied to the welding surface 8a of the filling member 8. In other words, by providing the welding surface 8a of the filling member 8 at a position offset from the center line P of the wire 6 in the left-right direction, the lure 2 can improve the holding strength of the wire 6. The filling member 8 may be formed so that the welding surface 8a of the filling member 8 is outward in the left-right direction from the area of the wire 6 projected downward.
[0065] As shown in FIG. 9, the filling member 8 may fill the openings 110a to 110c of the second hollow portion 18. The opening 110a includes a portion of the first groove 24a of the first half-body 20 on the front end side. The opening 110a includes a portion of the first groove 24a of the first half-body 20 that communicates with the first communication hole 36a. The opening 110a includes a portion of the first groove 54a of the second half-body 50 (see FIG. 5) that communicates with the first communication hole 66a (see FIG. 5). In other words, the opening 110a includes a portion that communicates with the first communication hole 80 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The filling member 8 is provided so as to close the portion of the second hollow portion 18 that communicates with the first communication hole 80.
[0066] The opening 110b includes the rear-end second groove 24b of the first half-body 20. The opening 110b includes a portion of the second groove 24b of the first half-body 20 that communicates with the second communication hole 36b. The opening 110b includes a portion of the second groove 54b of the second half-body 50 (see FIG. 5) that communicates with the second communication hole 66b (see FIG. 5). In other words, the opening 110b includes a portion that communicates with the second communication hole 82 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The filling member 8 is provided so as to close the portion of the second hollow portion 18 that communicates with the second communication hole 82.
[0067] The opening 110c includes a portion of the third groove 24c of the first half-body 20 that communicates with the third communication hole 36c. The opening 110c includes a portion of the third groove 54c (see FIG. 5) of the second half-body 50 that communicates with the third communication hole 66c (see FIG. 5). In other words, the opening 110c includes a portion that communicates with the third communication hole 84 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The filling member 8 is provided so as to close the portion of the second hollow portion 18 that communicates with the third communication hole 84.
[0068] The second hollow portion 18 may include a first communication hole 80, a second communication hole 82, and a third communication hole 84. The filling member 8 may be filled into the first communication hole 80, the second communication hole 82, and the third communication hole 84.
[0069] (Second embodiment) A lure 120 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Description of the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be omitted.
[0070] The lure 120 includes a vibrating body 122. The vibrating body 122 is disposed in the first hollow portion 16. The vibrating body 122 is disposed above the retaining plates 30, 60 (see FIG. 7). The vibrating body 122 is plate-shaped. The vibrating body 122 is configured to reflect light. The vibrating body 122 extends in the front-rear direction. The vibrating body 122 is configured to be connected to the body 124 so as to be able to vibrate. The vibrating body 122 is connected to the body 124 by a first spring 126 and a second spring 128. The first spring 126 connects the front end of the vibrating body 122 to a first shaft portion 130 of the body 124. The second spring 128 connects the rear end of the vibrating body 122 to a second shaft portion 132 of the body 124. A hole 122a is formed in the vibrating body 122. The hole 122a penetrates the vibrating body 122 in the left-right direction. The protrusion 134 of the body 124 is inserted into the hole 122a. The hole 122a is, for example, circular. The diameter of the hole 122a is larger than the diameter of the protrusion 134. The shape of the hole 122a is not limited to circular. The hole 122a and the protrusion 134 are formed so that the inner edge of the hole 122a does not come into contact with the protrusion 134 when the vibrating body 122 is stationary. When the amplitude of the vibrating body 122 is excessively large, the inner edge of the hole 122a comes into contact with the protrusion 134. This suppresses the amplitude of the vibrating body 122. A weight 140 is attached to the vibrating body 122. The weight 140 is attached to the lower side of the vibrating body 122. The weight 140 extends in the front-rear direction.
[0071] The first shaft portion 130 protrudes, for example, from an inner surface 144a of the first recessed portion 144 of the first half-body 142 toward the second half-body 50 (see FIG. 3). The first shaft portion 130 is provided forward of the vibrating body 122. The second shaft portion 132 protrudes, for example, from the inner surface 144a of the first recessed portion 144 of the first half-body 142 toward the second half-body 50. The second shaft portion 132 is provided rearward of the vibrating body 122. The convex portion 134 is provided between the first shaft portion 130 and the second shaft portion 132. The convex portion 134 protrudes from the inner surface 144a of the first recessed portion 144 toward the second half-body 50. The first shaft portion 130, the second shaft portion 132, and the convex portion 134 may be provided on the second half-body 50. When the first shaft portion 130, the second shaft portion 132, and the protrusion portion 134 are provided on the second half body 50, the first shaft portion 130, the second shaft portion 132, and the protrusion portion 134 protrude toward the first half body 142.
[0072] The body 124 is configured to allow light to pass through the first hollow portion 16. At least one of the first half body 142 and the second half body 50 is configured to allow light to pass through. At least one of the first half body 142 and the second half body 50 is made of a transparent or translucent resin. For example, the first half body 142 and the second half body 50 are made of a transparent or translucent resin.
[0073] Lure 120 may have vibrating body 122 without weight portion 10. The surface of body 4, 124 may be decorated by painting, printing, attaching fabric, etc. The decoration on the surface of body 4, 124 is preferably translucent.
[0074] The phrase "at least one" as used herein means "one or more" of the desired options. As an example, the phrase "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "both of two options" when the number of options is two. As another example, the phrase "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "any combination of two or more options" when the number of options is three or more. [Explanation of symbols]
