Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing container that is carried when fishing and is capable of containing fish. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, fishing containers capable of storing caught fish have been known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a scale is placed on the long edge of a rectangular lid and a roughly semicircular cutout is formed on the opposite side. A fastener is provided in the cutout, and when the fastener is opened, the semicircular portion bends into the container, allowing the fish to be placed in the container. Such fishing containers are sometimes carried to fishing tournaments, where, after the fish are caught, their size is measured, and fish above a certain size are stored, while fish smaller than that are released. For this reason, it is preferable that the container be configured so that fish that are not released can be immediately stored after being measured. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2014-155478 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The fishing container disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has fasteners formed in a semicircular shape from both ends of the long side, so when the fastener is opened, the opening and closing part hangs down significantly into the container, which may cause the fish placed in the container to escape. Also, because the ends of the fastener are located far from the position where the scale is formed, the scale part is easily bent, making it difficult to perform accurate measurements and making it difficult to quickly throw fish into the container.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing container that quickly stores caught fish and makes it difficult for the fish to escape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The fishing container of the present invention comprises a main body in which fish are housed, and a lid provided on the main body and having an openable / closable opening, wherein the lid comprises a non-linearly formed cutout, an opening / closing member for opening and closing the cutout, an opening / closing portion for opening the opening by opening the opening / closing member, and a closing portion which is integrated with the opening / closing portion by closing the opening / closing member, and is characterized in that the length of the straight line connecting both ends of the cutout is longer than the longitudinal length of the lid.

[0007] In addition, the fishing container of the present invention has a main body in which fish are stored, and a lid portion provided on the main body and having an openable / closable opening, wherein the lid portion has a non-linearly formed cutout portion, an opening / closing member for opening and closing the cutout portion, an opening / closing portion for opening the opening by opening the opening / closing member, and a closing portion that is integrated with the opening / closing portion by closing the opening / closing member, and is characterized in that the length of the straight line connecting both end positions of the cutout portion is longer than the longitudinal length of both end positions.

[0008] In the fishing container having the above-mentioned configuration, the opening is opened by opening the notch in the lid with the opening / closing member. The notch that opens and closes the opening is formed in a non-linear shape, and the length of the line connecting both ends of the notch is longer than the length of the lid in the longitudinal direction, or longer than the length of both ends in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when the notch is opened, the opening / closing part becomes wider, and the fish can easily enter the opening. In addition, the notch is formed in a non-linear shape, and the length of the straight line connecting both ends of the notch is longer than the longitudinal length of the lid, or longer than the longitudinal lengths of both ends, so that the closing part prevents fish placed in the storage compartment from escaping to the outside even if they jump out. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a fishing container can be obtained that can quickly accommodate caught fish and prevent the fish from escaping. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] 1 to 4 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of a fishing container, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a modified example thereof. The fishing container 1 of this embodiment is also called a fishing bucket, and has the function of storing caught fish (functioning as a fish preserve). The fishing container 1 has a main body 2 with a storage section (fish preserve) 2A capable of storing fish inside. The main body 2 has a substantially rectangular opening 2B when viewed from above, and is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a pair of side walls 2a on the long side, a pair of side walls 2b on the short side, and a bottom wall 2c. In other words, the storage section 2A is defined by the area surrounded by the pair of side walls 2a, 2b and the bottom wall 2c. In the following description, in FIG. 2, the direction D1 along the long side may be referred to as the width direction (longitudinal direction), and the direction D2 along the short side may be referred to as the up-down direction.

[0012] An upper cover 3 is rotatably attached to one side of the opening of the main body 2. The upper cover 3 is rotatably attached to the main body 2, and the opening 2B of the main body 2 can be opened and closed by sliding an opening / closing member (fastener) 5 disposed between the upper cover 3 and the edge of the opening of the main body 2.

[0013] The main body 2 is provided with a handle member 7. The handle member 7 is attached to the upper end of each of the pair of side walls 2a, which are the long sides, and the fishing tackle 1 can be carried by rotating each handle member to overlap the central grip portion 7a and gripping this portion. The main body 2 may also be provided with a shoulder belt 8 so that the fishing tackle can be carried over the shoulder.

[0014] The main body 2 is preferably made of a sheet-like synthetic resin material to reduce its weight. For example, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA material) can be used as the synthetic resin to reduce its weight. When the fishing container 1 is used as a fish tank, the main body 2 may be provided with a holder 9a for mounting an air pump or other devices, a storage section 9b, etc.

[0015] The opening 2B of the main body 2 is provided with a lid 10 having an opening 11 that can be opened and closed. The lid portion 10 may be configured so that its outer edge is detachable from the main body 2 by fasteners 10f or the like, and attached to the inner surface of the opening 2B of the main body 2, or it may be configured so that it is attached to the main body 2 by adhesion or the like.

[0016] The configuration of the lid portion 10 of this embodiment will be described below. The lid 10 has a notch 12 for introducing fish into the storage section 2A. By forming the notch 12 in the lid 10, the lid 10 is configured with an opening 11 that opens when introducing fish (see Figure 3) and closes after the fish has been introduced. The notch 12 is provided with an opening / closing member 13, which allows the opening 11 to be opened and closed.

[0017] The opening and closing member 13 of this embodiment is configured by a slide fastener and has two operating pieces 13a (in the following description, the opening and closing member 13 will be referred to as a fastener 13). In this case, the opening and closing member can be modified in various ways, such as a hook and loop fastener or a hook.

[0018] Since the cutout 12 is opened and closed by the fastener 13, the lid 10 has an opening / closing part 15 that opens the opening 11, with the cutout 12 as the boundary, and a closing part 16 that becomes one with the opening / closing part 15 when the fastener 13 is closed. The opening / closing part 15 is a part that hangs down toward the storage part 2A relative to the closing part 16 when a fish is dropped into the storage part 2A.

[0019] The cutout 12 is formed in a non-linear shape (asymmetric in the width direction and the up-down direction). Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the cutout 12 is formed in a linear shape, the end of the non-linear part of the opening / closing part 15 can be made to hang down more easily by its own weight, and when a fish placed on the closing part 16 is slid toward the opening 11, the fish naturally falls into the storage part 2A, preventing injury to the fish. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the cutout 12 is formed in a curved shape, so that the end on the curved part side (the end of the closing part 16) can be made to hang down more easily, and since the hanging part has no corners, injury to the fish is effectively prevented.

[0020] The non-linear cutout portion 12 is formed so that the length L of the straight line La connecting its both ends (both end positions) 12a, 12b is longer than the length L1 in the longitudinal direction (width direction) of the lid portion 10 (L>L1).

[0021] As described above, by forming the notch 12 so that L>L1, when the notch 12 is opened by the fastener 13, the opening / closing part 15 can hang down moderately under its own weight, making it easier to put the fish in and preventing them from being injured. That is, unlike the shape of the notch in Patent Document 1, the opening / closing part is not symmetrical but asymmetrical, so it does not hang down significantly into the container (see Figures 4(a) and (b)).

[0022] This length relationship can be achieved by inclining the straight line La at a certain angle relative to the long side 10a of the edge that defines the lid 10. Furthermore, although it depends on the positions of both ends (end positions) 12a, 12b of the cutout 12, by inclining the straight line La relative to the long side 10a and locating the both ends 12a, 12b on the short sides 10b, 10c, it is possible to achieve an asymmetrical opening / closing part with the above-mentioned length relationship (see FIG. 5).

[0023] The cutout portion 12 may be formed in a non-linear shape, but in this embodiment, the top 12d of the cutout portion 12 is formed in a curved shape so as to bulge toward the closing portion 16 with respect to the straight line La connecting both ends 12a, 12b of the cutout portion 12.

[0024] According to such a curved shape, the shape of the closed portion side of the opening / closing portion 15 with respect to the line La is approximately semi-elliptical, and the both end portions 12a, 12b act as fulcrums, forming a region bulging out from the line La. In other words, the amount of sagging of the opening / closing part 15 can be limited to a level that prevents the fish placed in the container from escaping even if they jump out (the amount of sagging can be made smaller as shown in FIG. 4(b) than in the conventional container shown in FIG. 4(a)), making it possible to create a structure that makes it easy to put fish in but difficult for the fish to escape. Furthermore, even when the fastener 13 is opened, the opening / closing part 15 and the closing part 16 have a small amount of sagging, which acts as a ceiling, preventing the fish placed in the container from escaping and effectively preventing the fish from jumping out even if they struggle inside the container (see FIG. 4(b)).

[0025] It is preferable that end 12a of cutout 12 is provided in the middle region of short side 10b of lid 10, and end 12b of cutout 12 is provided on the end side of long side 10a of lid 10 as shown in Fig. 2, or on the end side of short side 10c as shown in Fig. 5. This makes it possible to ensure a certain length for cutout 12 and also to ensure a certain size for opening / closing section 15.

[0026] Also, according to the shape of the notch 12 as described above, regarding the closing part 16, the distance L3 from one end side (end part 12a side) to the opening / closing part 15 can be made shorter than the distance L4 from the other end side (end part 12b side) to the opening / closing part 15. As a result, the bending of the closing part 16 is suppressed as a whole. Therefore, when a scale 20 for fish measurement is provided along the width direction on the exposed surface on the end part side of the closing part 16, it becomes possible to immediately measure the size and it does not become difficult to read, and it becomes easier to accurately measure the length of the fish.

[0027] Note that, as shown in FIG. 5, even when the end part 12b is provided at any position of the short side 10c, it is preferable to make the relationship L3 < L4 hold. That is, regarding the closing part 16, by making the distance from one end side (end part 12a side in FIG. 2) to the opening / closing part 15 and the distance from the other end side (end part 12b side in FIG. 2) to the opening / closing part 15 different (L3 ≠ L4), it is possible to suppress the entire closing part from bending uniformly, and it is possible to suppress the fish from falling into the accommodating part during size measurement.

[0028] Regarding the non-linear notch 12, the length L of the straight line La connecting the both end positions 12a and 12b is formed to be longer than the length L2 in the longitudinal direction (width direction) of the both end positions 12a and 12b (L > L2).

[0029] When forming the notch 12 in the rectangular lid part 10, such a notch 12 may be formed at a position where the straight line La connecting the both end positions 12a and 12b is inclined with respect to the long side 10a. If the both end positions 12a and 12b of the notch 12 are in such a positional relationship, it becomes possible to achieve the above-described effects.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable to mark the scale 20 with a zero on the side closer to the opening / closing section 15, where the head end of the fish is located. As described above, when the vertical distances L3 and L4 change, there is a portion of the closing section 16 that is less likely to sag (flex) even when the fastener 13 is fully opened. Generally, since a fish is heavier at the head end, after measuring it with the scale 20, sliding the fish toward the opening / closing section 15 makes it easier to smoothly drop the fish head-first into the storage section through the opening 11. For this reason, in tournaments with time limits, the time from measuring the size of the fish to dropping it into the storage section can be shortened, allowing for faster turnaround times.

[0031] The lid portion 10 is preferably made of an EVA material. As a result, when the fastener 13 of the opening 11 is fully opened, a portion of it hangs down easily, forming an opening for putting in the fish, eliminating the need to open the opening and putting the fish in, and allowing the fish to be easily put into the storage section. Also, even if the fish struggles, it will not be injured because it is made of a soft material. stomach.

[0032] It is also preferable to provide a reinforcing member (piping) around the entire periphery of the lid portion 10. With this configuration, the strength of the lid portion 10 is ensured, so that even large fish can be stably measured and placed in the storage portion.

[0033] The opening and closing portion 15 preferably has a mesh structure. With this structure, the opening and closing part 15 can easily hang down, and the draining operation can be easily performed by simply tilting the entire container.

[0034] Next, another embodiment of the fishing container will be described. In the embodiment described below, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0035] FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the fishing vessel. In the fishing container 1 of this embodiment, the lid 10 functions as the upper lid of the main body 2. In addition, both ends 12a, 12b of the notch 12 may be formed at positions away from the periphery of the lid 10.

[0036] 7 and 8 are diagrams showing a third and fourth embodiment of the fishing vessel, respectively. The notch formed in the lid 10 may be formed in a non-linear shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, it may be formed in a polygonal shape that is bent partway, or as shown in FIG. 8, the curved portion may be formed in the opposite direction to that of the first embodiment. That is, the non-linear shape can be appropriately modified as long as the opening / closing part 15 does not sag significantly as in the known art and the shape can be limited to a degree that prevents the fish placed in the container from escaping even if they jump out. Furthermore, the amount of sagging may be adjusted by partially incorporating a reinforcing member into the opening / closing part 15 or by changing the thickness.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified in various ways. The cutout 12 may be formed so that the opening / closing portion 15 is not symmetrical in the width direction, and the widthwise end positions 12a, 12b are formed so that the height in the vertical direction is different. In other words, by changing the height of both ends, a portion that does not droop (a portion that is less likely to droop) is created even when the container is fully opened, and it is possible to prevent fish from jumping out. Furthermore, the components of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
