Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, when using a fishing lure to catch fish (such as trout) that repeatedly roll after hooking, if a normal hook with a tube is used, the range of rotation of the hook relative to the lure is insufficient, which can easily lead to the hook coming off. Therefore, lures that use a swivel on the hook eye on the body to increase the range of rotation are known. Furthermore, fishing lures that have a structure in which the hook itself is fixed are also known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4083069 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, with conventional lures that use a swivel for the hook eye, the hook point cannot be determined when a single hook is used, which can result in a lower hooking rate. Furthermore, in the lure described in Patent Document 1, the hook has difficulty following the fish's inhalation compared to a floating lure, resulting in a lower hooking rate, and there is room for improvement in this regard.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a lure that can suppress a decrease in the hooking rate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A first aspect of the lure according to the present invention comprises a holding part provided in a recess formed on the surface of the body, a hook eye partially inserted into the recess and held in a fixed rotational position by the holding part, and a restricting part provided in the recess to restrict the hook eye from slipping out of the recess, wherein the hook eye is rotatably provided in the recess in a state where its slipping out is restricted by the restricting part when the holding by the holding part is released, and a biasing member is provided to bias the hook eye towards the holding part.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the lure of the present invention, the hook eye partially inserted into the recess is biased toward the holding portion by the biasing member, and the hook eye is held in a fixed rotational position by the holding portion provided in the recess. This allows the hook eye to be held in a predetermined rotational position. That is, until a fish is hooked, the fishhook (hook) supported by the hook eye can be attached in the intended orientation. At this time, the hook eye itself is merely held in the holding portion while being biased toward the holding portion by the biasing member. Therefore, when a fish is hooked, the hook eye is released from the holding portion against the bias of the biasing member and becomes rotatable. This makes the rotational range of the hook eye equivalent to that of a swivel eye, reducing the risk of the fishhook becoming dislodged and suppressing a decrease in the hooking rate. Furthermore, when a fish is hooked, the hook eye is prevented from coming out of the recess by the restricting portion. Then, simply by returning the hook eye to the predetermined rotational position, the hook eye is biased by the biasing member and held in the holding portion.

[0008] (2) In a second aspect of the present invention, in the lure of the first aspect, the holding portion is preferably provided at the bottom of the recess.

[0009] In this case, the retaining portion provided at the bottom of the recess is located on the rotation center line of the hook eye, so the hook eye inserted into the recess can be easily rotated, and the rotational position of the hook eye can be easily changed within the recess to be held by the retaining portion. Also, when a fish is caught, the hook eye is pulled in a direction away from the bottom of the recess, so the hook eye held by the retaining portion can be smoothly released.

[0010] (3) In a third aspect of the present invention, in the lure of the first or second aspect, the hook eye is preferably made of a magnetic material, and the biasing member is preferably a magnet that attracts the hook eye.

[0011] In this case, the hook eye can be easily held to the magnet by magnetic force.

[0012] (4) A fourth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that in the lure of any one of the first to third aspects, the biasing member is an elastic member that biases the hook eye by elasticity.

[0013] In this case, the hook eye can be easily held by the elasticity.

[0014] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of any one of the first to fourth aspects, the restricting portion is a locking portion provided on the hook eye and locks into the opening of the recess from the inside of the recess.

[0015] In this case, since the locking portion (restricting portion) is provided on the hook eye located inside the recess, it is possible to more reliably restrict the hook eye from slipping out of the recess. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the lure of the present invention, the decrease in the hooking rate can be suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lure according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the lure shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the body hook eye attached to the recess in the rotation restricted position. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the body hook eye attached to the recess in the rotation restriction release position. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the lure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as necessary to make each component large enough to be visible.

[0019] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a lure 1 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the lure 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a lure 1 according to the embodiment is used for fishing, and is, for example, a lure made of a resin material and shaped like a small fish.

[0020] Here, in the lure 1, the direction in which the head and tail are aligned is defined as the front-to-back direction X, with the head side defined as the front side X1 and the tail side defined as the rear side X2. In addition, the lateral direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction X when viewed from above is defined as the left-to-right direction Y in the following description.

[0021] The lure 1 has a main body 10 formed by joining a pair of halves of the body. The lure 1 includes a line eye 20, a tail hook eye 30, and a body hook eye 40.

[0022] The main body 10 is formed in a streamlined shape that mimics a fish, and is integrally formed by joining the peripheral edges of a pair of halves of the body together by adhesive bonding, welding, or the like. The main body 10 is integrally formed with a head 10A, a trunk 10B, and a tail 10C. In the main body 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the left side of the paper is the front end 10a on the head 10A side, and the right side of the paper is the rear end 10b on the tail 10C side. The head portion 10A, the body portion 10B, and the tail portion 10C may each be divided, and each portion may be provided so as to be able to swing freely in the left-right direction Y relative to each other.

[0023] The main body 10 has a shape in which its cross section is largest at the center (torso 10B) in the front-to-rear direction X. That is, the main body 10 becomes thicker from the front end 10a toward the center and tapers from the center toward the rear end 10b, forming a smooth curve as a whole. The torso 10B of the main body 10 forms, for example, a hollow portion. The head 10A and tail 10C are solid. The main body 10 is formed, for example, from ABS resin.

[0024] The front end 10a of the main body 10 has a first engagement hole 11 for attaching the line eye 20. The rear end 10b of the main body 10 has a second engagement hole 12 for attaching the tail hook eye 30. The lower surface 10c (surface) located on the trunk 10B of the main body 10 has a recess 13 for attaching the trunk hook eye 40.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the line eye 20 has a first shaft 21, a first locking ring 22, and a first mounting engagement ring 23. The first shaft 21 has the first locking ring 22 at one end and the first mounting engagement ring 23 at the other end. The first shaft 21 and the first mounting engagement ring 23 are supported while inserted into a first engagement hole 11. A support shaft 110 extending in the left-right direction Y is provided in the first engagement hole 11. The line eye 20 is attached to the front end 10a of the main body 10 by inserting the support shaft 110 into the first mounting engagement ring 23. The first locking ring 22 protrudes forward from the front end 10a of the main body 10 toward the front side X1, and a fishing line (not shown) is connected to the first shaft 21.

[0026] The tail hook eye 30 has a second shaft 31, a second locking ring 32, and a second mounting engagement ring 33. The second shaft 31 has the second locking ring 32 at one end and the second mounting engagement ring 33 at the other end. The second shaft 31 and the second mounting engagement ring 33 are supported while inserted into the second engagement hole 12. A support shaft 120 extending in the left-right direction Y is provided in the second engagement hole 12. The tail hook eye 30 is mounted to the rear end 10b of the main body 10 by inserting the support shaft 120 into the second mounting engagement ring 33. The second locking ring 32 protrudes rearward X2 from the rear end 10b of the main body 10, and a fishhook 300 is connected to it.

[0027] The trunk hook eye 40 is partially housed in the recess 13, and its rotational position is fixed by the retaining slit 15, which will be described later. The trunk hook eye 40 is made of a magnetic material. Furthermore, the trunk hook eye 40 and the third attachment engagement ring 43, which will be described later, are made of a magnetic material.

[0028] The trunk hook eye 40 has a third shaft portion 41, a third locking ring 42, a third attachment engagement ring 43, and a restriction ring 44 (restriction portion). The third shaft portion 41 has the third locking ring 42 at one end and the third attachment engagement ring 43 at the other end. The trunk hook eye 40 is attached to the main body 10 with the axial direction of the third shaft portion 41 oriented approximately perpendicular to the underside 10c of the trunk portion 10B.

[0029] In the following description, when the trunk hook eye 40 is held in the recess 13 (rotation restriction position P1, described later), the axial direction of the third shaft portion 41 is referred to as the rotation axis O, the direction along the rotation axis O is referred to as the axial direction, and the direction rotating around the rotation axis O is referred to as the circumferential direction.

[0030] The third locking ring 42 and the third mounting engagement ring 43 have the same diameter. The third shaft portion 41 and the third mounting engagement ring 43 are attached in a state where they are inserted into a recess 13 provided in the lower surface 10c of the body portion 10B.

[0031] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the body hook eye 40 attached to the recess 13 at the rotation restriction position P1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the body hook eye 40 attached to the recess 13 at the rotation restriction release position P2. 3 and 4, the trunk hook eye 40 can be switched between a rotation restricted position P1 (see FIG. 3) in which rotation about an axis (coaxial with the third shaft portion 41) relative to the recess 13 is restricted, and a rotation restricted release position P2 (see FIG. 4) in which rotation is permitted within the recess 13. In the rotation restricted release position P2, the trunk hook eye 40 is rotatable within the recess 13 with the third shaft portion 41 as the rotation axis O. The third locking ring 42 protrudes downward from the lower surface 10c of the trunk portion 10B of the main body 10, and a fishhook 400 is connected to it.

[0032] The restriction ring 44 is ring-shaped and is inserted into the third shaft portion 41. The restriction ring 44 is positioned in the recess 13. The restriction ring 44 is an engagement portion that engages with the opening 14 of the recess 13 from the inside of the recess 13. The height of the ring hole 44a of the restriction ring 44 along the hole axis is smaller than that of the third shaft portion 41. The inner diameter of the ring hole 44a is larger than the outer diameter of the third shaft portion 41 and smaller than the outer diameters of the third locking ring 42 and the third mounting engagement ring 43. The restriction ring 44 is movable along the third shaft portion 41.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, an opening 14 that communicates with the recess 13 and opens downward is provided on the surface of the underside 10c of the trunk portion 10B. The opening 14 is circular when viewed from below. The opening 14 has a first hole 14A on the recess 13 side and a second hole 14B on the front side of the main body 10. The third shank 41 of the trunk hook eye 40 is disposed in the first hole 14A. The inner diameter of the first hole 14A is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the third shank 41. The third shank 41 is rotatable circumferentially within the first hole 14A. The diameter of the second hole 14B gradually increases downward. When the trunk hook eye 40 is in the rotation restricted position P1, the portion of the third locking ring 42 on the third shank 41 side (upper edge 42a) is fitted into and held inside the second hole 14B from below.

[0034] 2 to 4, a retaining slit 15 (retaining portion) and a magnet 16 (biasing member) are provided inside the recess 13. That is, inside the recess 13, the third shaft portion 41 and third mounting engagement ring 43 of the body hook eye 40, the restriction ring 44, the retaining slit 15, and the magnet 16 are arranged.

[0035] Recess 13 is a cylindrical shape with a top made up of side walls 131 surrounding it on all four sides and a top wall 132 covering the upper part of side walls 131, and is provided integrally with the hollow part of main body 10. The internal region of recess 13 has a sufficient space around the axis of trunk hook eye 40 between it and a part of trunk hook eye 40 housed therein. In other words, there is a gap such that at least trunk hook eye 40 does not interfere with the inner surface of recess 13 when trunk hook eye 40 rotates in the circumferential direction.

[0036] The recess 13 has an engagement receiving portion 133 recessed upward from a lower surface 132a of a top wall 132 of the recess 13. The engagement receiving portion 133 engages with and is fixed to the magnet 16.

[0037] The retaining slit 15 is provided in a retaining member 150 that is provided in contact with the lower surface 132a (bottom) of the top wall 132 of the recess 13. The retaining slit 15 has a slit shape that extends along the front-rear direction X. The retaining slit 15 passes through the rotation axis O. The width of the retaining slit 15 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of the third attachment engagement ring 43 of the body hook eye 40. When viewed from the underside of the lure 1, a portion of the magnet 16 engaged with the engagement receiving portion 133 is exposed at the back side through the gap in the retaining slit 15.

[0038] The magnet 16 is engaged with the engagement receiving portion 133. The magnet 16 biases the body hook eye 40 housed in the recess 13 toward the retaining slit 15. In this embodiment, the magnet 16 is disk-shaped and is arranged so that the central axis of the disk is approximately coaxial with the rotation axis O. An attraction surface 16a on the lower surface of the magnet 16 is flush with or slightly below the lower surface 132a of the top wall 132. The attraction surface 16a of the magnet 16 can attract the third attachment engagement ring 43 of the body hook eye 40, which is made of a magnetic material.

[0039] Because of the above-described configuration, in the lure 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the third attachment engagement ring 43 can be fitted into the retaining slit 15 by orienting the surface direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the third attachment engagement ring 43 so as to be parallel to the slit extension direction (front-rear direction X) of the retaining slit 15. When the third attachment engagement ring 43 is fitted into the retaining slit 15, the third attachment engagement ring 43 is urged by the magnetic force of the magnet 16 located behind the retaining slit 15 and attracted to the magnet 16. At this time, since the third attachment engagement ring 43 is fitted into the retaining slit 15, it is in a rotation restricted position P1 where circumferential rotation of the body hook eye 40 is restricted. In other words, when no pulling force is applied to the fishhook 400 via the body hook eye 40, the fishhook 400 does not rotate circumferentially together with the body hook eye 40 due to the movement of the lure 1, and the orientation of the fishhook 400 (hook point) can be stabilized.

[0040] Furthermore, when the body hook eye 40 is held at the rotation restriction position P1, the body hook eye 40 is pulled toward the magnet 16 at the back. In other words, the portion of the third locking ring 42 on the third shaft 41 side (upper edge 42a) fits into the inside of the second hole 14B from below, and only a lower portion of the third locking ring 42 (lower portion 42b) protrudes downward from the underside 10c of the main body 10. Therefore, the area of ​​the hole 42c of the third locking ring 42 that protrudes downward from the underside 10c of the main body 10 becomes smaller, and the fishhook 400 connected to the hole 42c is restrained. As a result, at the rotation restriction position P1, the fishhook 400 can be attached with the hook tip 400a facing the front side X1, for example.

[0041] 4, when a fish is hooked on the fishhook 400 connected to the body hook eye 40 at the rotation restriction position P1, the lure 1 exerts a downward pulling force on the fish, causing the third attachment engagement ring 43 of the body hook eye 40 to move away from the magnet 16 and disengage from the retaining slit 15, switching from the rotation restriction position P1 to the rotation restriction release position P2. Then, the body hook eye 40 at the rotation restriction release position P2 becomes rotatable in the circumferential direction relative to the recess 13.

[0042] Furthermore, as described above, the restricting ring 44 is provided on the third shaft portion 41 located within the recess 13, so when the trunk hook eye 40 is in the rotation restriction release position P2, the restricting ring 44 abuts from above against the upper edge portion 14a of the opening 14 of the main body 10. This prevents the trunk hook eye 40 from coming out of the recess 13. In other words, the trunk hook eye 40 is provided rotatably in the recess 13 in a state where it is restricted from coming out by the restricting ring 44 when the retention by the retaining slit 15 is released.

[0043] Next, a method of using the lure 1 according to this embodiment will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a single-hook fishhook 400 is attached to the body hook eye 40. Then, by orienting the body hook eye 40 in the rotation restriction release position P2 so that its surface is parallel to the front-to-rear direction X, the third attachment engagement ring 43 is attracted to the magnet 16 toward the retaining slit 15 within the recess 13. This positions the third attachment engagement ring 43 in the retaining slit 15, preventing the body hook eye 40 from rotating relative to the recess 13, i.e., the main body 10, and thus positions the body hook eye 40 in the rotation restriction position P1. The fishhook 400 connected to the body hook eye 40 also cannot rotate together with the body hook eye 40. Because the third attachment engagement ring 43 is attracted by the magnet 16 and biased upward, the rotation restriction position P1 is maintained unless a downward pulling force is applied to the body hook eye 40. At this time, the fishhook 400 is attached so that the hook tip 400a faces the front side X1. The lure 1 is cast in this state.

[0044] Next, when a fish gets caught on the fishhook 400 of the cast lure 1, the pull of the fish applies a downward pulling force to the body hook eye 40. When this pulling force reaches a predetermined level or more, the third attachment engagement ring 43 of the body hook eye 40 moves away from the magnet 16 and also moves away from the retaining slit 15, and the body hook eye 40 switches to the rotation restriction release position P2. Accordingly, the entire third locking ring 42 of the body hook eye 40 protrudes downward from the opening 14, the restraining force of the fishhook 400 on the third locking ring 42 is released, and the rotation restriction on the body hook eye 40 is released. In other words, the body hook eye 40 and the fishhook 400 become able to rotate in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis O.

[0045] When the retrieved lure 1 is to be cast again, the body hook eye 40 is again brought to the rotation restriction position P1, and the third attachment engagement ring 43 is attracted to the magnet 16 and held in the holding slit 15.

[0046] Next, the operation of the lure 1 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The lure 1 according to this embodiment comprises a retaining slit 15 provided in a recess 13 formed on the surface of the main body 10, a body hook eye 40 partially inserted into the recess 13 and held in a fixed rotational position by the retaining slit 15, and a restricting ring 44 provided in the recess 13 to restrict the body hook eye 40 from slipping out of the recess 13. The body hook eye 40 is rotatably provided in the recess 13 in a state where its slipping out is restricted by the restricting ring 44 when the retention by the retaining slit 15 is released, and has a magnet 16 that urges the body hook eye 40 toward the retaining slit 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, the body hook eye 40, partially inserted into the recess 13, is biased toward the retaining slit 15 by the magnet 16, and the body hook eye 40 is held in a fixed rotational position by the retaining slit 15 provided in the recess 13. This allows the body hook eye 40 to be held in a predetermined rotational position. That is, until a fish is hooked, the fishhook 400 (hook) supported by the body hook eye 40 can be attached in the intended orientation. At this time, the body hook eye 40 itself is merely held in the retaining slit 15 while being biased toward the retaining slit 15 by the magnet 16. Therefore, when a fish is hooked, the body hook eye 40 is released from the retaining slit 15 against the bias of the magnet 16 and becomes rotatable. This allows the rotational range of the body hook eye 40 to be equivalent to that of a swivel eye, reducing the risk of the fishhook 400 coming off and suppressing a decrease in the hooking rate. Furthermore, when a fish is hooked, the restraining ring 44 prevents the body hook eye 40 from coming out of the recess 13. Then, when the body hook eye 40 is returned to the predetermined rotation position, the body hook eye 40 is held in the holding slit 15 by the biasing force of the magnet 16.

[0048] In this embodiment, the holding slit 15 is provided at the bottom of the recess 13 . With this configuration, the retaining slit 15 provided at the bottom of the recess 13 is located on the rotation center line of the body hook eye 40, so the body hook eye 40 inserted into the recess 13 can be easily rotated, and the rotational position of the body hook eye 40 can be changed within the recess 13 so that it can be easily held in the retaining slit 15. Furthermore, when a fish is hooked, the body hook eye 40 is pulled in a direction away from the underside 132a of the recess 13, so the body hook eye 40 held by the retaining slit 15 can be smoothly released.

[0049] In this embodiment, the body hook eye 40 is made of a magnetic material. The biasing member is a magnet 16 that attracts the body hook eye 40. With this configuration, the body hook eye 40 can be easily held to the magnet 16 by magnetic force.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the restriction ring 44 is provided on the body hook eye 40 and is a locking portion that locks into the opening of the recess 13 from the inside of the recess 13. With this configuration, the locking portion (restriction ring 44) is provided on the body hook eye 40 located inside the recess 13, so that the body hook eye 40 can be more reliably restricted from slipping out of the recess 13.

[0051] The lure 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above can suppress a decrease in the hooking rate.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the lure according to the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The embodiments and their modifications include, for example, those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, and those that are equivalent.

[0053] For example, the shapes, positions, sizes, and other configurations of the hook eye, recess, holding portion, biasing member, and regulating portion are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, and can be set as appropriate.

[0054] For example, in the above embodiment, the retaining slit 15 is provided at the bottom (lower surface 132a) of the recess 13, but it may be provided at the middle part in the depth direction (up and down direction) of the recess 13 as long as it is configured to restrict circumferential rotation of the trunk hook eye 40. Furthermore, the part of the retaining part that retains the trunk hook eye 40 is located at the position of the third attachment engagement ring 43 in this embodiment, but it may also be located at the position of the third shaft part 41, for example. Furthermore, the shape of the retaining part is not limited to being slit-shaped as in this embodiment.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the body hook eye 40 is magnetic and the biasing member is the magnet 16 that attracts the body hook eye 40, but other biasing members can also be used. For example, the biasing member may be an elastic member that elastically biases the hook eye. Specifically, when the retaining portion is the retaining slit 15 as in this embodiment, a coil spring can be provided instead of the restricting ring 44, and the third attachment engagement ring 43 can be biased toward the retaining slit 15 by the biasing force of the coil spring. With this configuration, the hook eye can be easily held by elasticity.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the restricting portion (locking portion) is a restricting ring 44 that is provided on the third shaft portion 41 of the body hook eye 40 and locks into the opening 14 of the recess 13 from the inside of the recess 13, but the configuration is not limited to this shape and size. In short, it is sufficient that the body hook eye 40 is provided with a configuration that can restrict a part of the body hook eye 40 (third attachment engagement ring 43) housed in the recess 13 from slipping out of the opening 14.
