Brief Description of the Drawings

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist thereof. In the drawings, the same elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions will be omitted. Also, the positional relationships such as up, down, left, and right are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios in the drawings are not limited to the illustrated ratios.

[0010] 1. Fishing line spool The fishing line spool of this embodiment includes a cylindrical portion for winding the fishing line, flange portions arranged at both ends of the cylindrical portion, a shaft hole portion provided at the center of the cylindrical portion, a plurality of ribs connecting the cylindrical portion and the shaft hole portion, and an anti-counterfeiting seal. The flange portion has an anti-counterfeiting seal destruction portion for destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal with the fishing line.

[0011] In this way, by providing a destruction portion of the anti-counterfeiting seal so that the fishing line spool cannot be used without destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal, an anti-counterfeiting function can be added. Specifically, before destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal, it can be confirmed that it is a genuine product by checking the anti-counterfeiting seal, and after destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal, it can be confirmed that it is a genuine product by checking the anti-counterfeiting seal remaining on the flange portion.

[0012] The fishing line spool of this embodiment is preferably a resin-made spool that is used as a part of a reel and is not a metal-made spool. After using up the fishing line, such a fishing line spool is recovered, and the fishing line is newly wound around the empty spool for reproduction. Therefore, by using the present invention, it can be proved that the reproduced product is a genuine product, and users can use it with confidence. Also, the resin is not particularly limited, and transparent, semi-transparent, resin colored with a colorant, etc. can be used. For example, from the viewpoint of the visibility of the fishing line, a colored resin such as black or other colors may be used.

[0013] The fishing line spool of this embodiment winds and stores the fishing line around the cylindrical portion, and may include the wound fishing line. The fishing line is not particularly limited, and examples include natural fibers such as cotton and wool, synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, and polyethylene, metal fibers, glass fibers, or combinations thereof. Also, the thickness and strength of the fishing line are not limited, and various filamentous ones are used.

[0014] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the fishing line spool of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the fishing line spool 11 of this embodiment has a cylindrical portion 12 for winding the fishing line, flange portions 13 arranged at both ends of the cylindrical portion 12, an axial hole portion 17 provided in the center of the cylindrical portion 12, and a plurality of ribs 18 connecting the cylindrical portion 12 and the axial hole portion 17.

[0015] The cylindrical portion 12 has a cylindrical shape, and the fishing line L is wound around its outer circumferential surface, for example, in an aligned winding pattern. On the other hand, the starting point (one end) of the winding of the fishing line L may be bonded and fixed to the outer or inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 12 with, for example, instant adhesive. Here, the diameter of the cylindrical portion 12 is not particularly limited, but it may be, for example, about 50 mm.

[0016] The flange portion 13 has a ring shape with a predetermined thickness and is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 12 at both ends in the axial direction, projecting radially outward. In Figure 1, the shape of the flange portion 13 is represented as having a perfectly circular outer circumference, but it is not limited to this. The flange portion 13 may have a recess 13a that opens radially outward.

[0017] The flange portion 13 of the spool in this embodiment has an anti-counterfeiting seal destruction portion 15 for destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal 14 with fishing line. By having such an anti-counterfeiting seal destruction portion 15, the portion of the anti-counterfeiting seal that is destroyed is more limited, and even after the anti-counterfeiting seal is destroyed, a portion of the anti-counterfeiting seal remains on the flange portion. Therefore, by checking the anti-counterfeiting seal remaining on the flange portion, it is possible to confirm that the product is genuine.

[0018] As shown in Figure 1, the anti-counterfeiting seal 14 may have a notch 14a, and the notch 14a may be positioned so as to be in physical contact with at least the end of the fishing line La when the end of the fishing line L is unwound. By having such a notch 14a, the anti-counterfeiting seal is destroyed starting from the notch 14a, so the portion of the anti-counterfeiting seal that is destroyed is more limited, and even after the anti-counterfeiting seal is destroyed, a part of the anti-counterfeiting seal remains on the flange. Therefore, by checking the anti-counterfeiting seal remaining on the flange, it is possible to confirm that the product is genuine.

[0019] The fishing line spool 11 has a shaft hole 17 in its center for mechanically winding the fishing line onto the cylindrical part 12 during manufacturing and for winding the fishing line from the fishing line spool 11 onto a reel. The shaft hole 17 and the cylindrical part 12 are connected by a rib 18.

[0020] The anti-counterfeiting seal 14 is not particularly limited as long as it is a seal that can prevent counterfeiting, but for example it may have an anti-counterfeiting structure. Specifically, the anti-counterfeiting structure is not particularly limited, but for example it may have at least one of a hologram area, a non-transferable area, or a fine-line area.

[0021] Holograms are a technology that records three-dimensional information about an object using the interference and diffraction of light. Because they have a fine light interference pattern, they are difficult to duplicate. Therefore, using holograms as anti-counterfeiting seals provides a certain level of anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0022] In the case of anti-counterfeiting structures with a transfer area, when the seal is peeled off, specific characters or other information remain on the surface, allowing for the detection of counterfeit goods if the seal is peeled off during the counterfeiting process. However, with anti-counterfeiting structures with a transfer area, the characters or other information remain on the adherend (fishing line spool), making them unsuitable for collecting used fishing line spools, rewinding them with new fishing line, and reproducing new products. In contrast, with anti-counterfeiting structures with a non-transfer area, nothing remains on the seal or the surface to which it is applied when the seal is peeled off. Instead, with anti-counterfeiting structures with a non-transfer area, specific characters or other information become visible on the peeled seal itself. Therefore, anti-counterfeiting seals with a non-transfer area are suitable for collecting used fishing line spools and reproducing products. Thus, both transfer-type and non-transfer-type seals can prevent tampering and fraud by destroying the seal.

[0023] The fine-line area is a region formed by fine lines and is characterized by its difficulty to replicate. Therefore, by using the fine-line area as an anti-counterfeiting seal, a predetermined anti-counterfeiting effect is achieved.

[0024] The fine wires in the fine wire region may contain conductive or non-conductive materials.

[0025] The conductive material is not particularly limited in terms of its conductive component, but examples include conductive metals and conductive polymers. Examples of conductive metals are gold, silver, copper, and aluminum. Among these, silver or copper is preferred, and relatively inexpensive copper is more preferred. As for conductive polymers, known materials can be used, such as polyacetylene and polythiophene.

[0026] Non-conductive materials are not particularly limited in their non-conductive components, but examples include photosensitive polymers and thermoplastic polymers. Examples of photocurable resins include epoxy and acrylic resins. While not particularly limited, thermoplastic polymers include polyimides, polymethyl methacrylates, and cycloolefin polymers.

[0027] The fine-wire regions may be striped or mesh-like, formed from conductive or non-conductive materials. In the case of a mesh, the conductive fine-wires may intersect in other patterns that maintain conductivity, and these patterns may be regular or irregular. The conductive fine-wires may also be straight or curved. Furthermore, the shape of the openings formed in the mesh is not particularly limited, but examples include triangles; quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, and rhombuses; pentagons; hexagons; or combinations of multiple polygons.

[0028] The line width of the fine lines in the fine line region is preferably 0.25 to 200 μm, 0.50 to 150 μm, 0.70 to 100 μm, or 1.00 to 50 μm. Having the line width within the above range tends to improve the difficulty of imitating the fine line region and further enhance the anti-counterfeiting function.

[0029] The pitch spacing of the fine lines in the fine line region is preferably 1.0 to 300 μm, 2.5 to 250 μm, 5.0 to 200 μm, or 10 to 150 μm. Having the pitch spacing within the above range tends to improve the difficulty of imitating the fine line region and further enhance the anti-counterfeiting function.

[0030] 2. How to use a fishing line spool The method of using the fishing line spool of this embodiment includes a step of destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal with the fishing line on the fishing line spool 11. Specifically, by pulling up the end portion La of the fishing line L, the fishing line comes into contact with the anti-counterfeiting seal, and the force of the fishing line L being pulled from that point destroys and cuts the anti-counterfeiting seal. Furthermore, as a method for determining the authenticity of the fishing line spool, it is assumed that only certain people can obtain the prescribed anti-counterfeiting seal, and the presence of the prescribed anti-counterfeiting seal indicates that the product is genuine, while the absence of the prescribed anti-counterfeiting seal indicates that the product is counterfeit. In addition, the authenticity determination can be made whether the anti-counterfeiting seal is destroyed or not, and in the case of the destroyed state, the authenticity can be determined by checking the anti-counterfeiting seal remaining on the flange portion 13.

[0031] 3. Method for manufacturing fishing line spools The manufacturing method for a fishing line spool of this embodiment comprises a fishing line spool having a cylindrical portion for winding the fishing line, flange portions located at both ends of the cylindrical portion, an axial hole portion provided in the center of the cylindrical portion, a plurality of ribs connecting the cylindrical portion and the axial hole portion, and an anti-counterfeiting seal. The flange portion has an anti-counterfeiting seal breaking portion for destroying the anti-counterfeiting seal with the fishing line, and the anti-counterfeiting seal has a notch. When attaching the anti-counterfeiting seal to the flange portion, the anti-counterfeiting seal breaking portion of the flange portion and the notch of the anti-counterfeiting seal are aligned and attached.
