Fishing swivel with built-in rattle

Abstract

Even without a separate rattle, you can use a fishing swivel to create sound that attracts fish. [Solution] The neck of a ring member having a blunt hammer at its end is pivotally supported in through holes that are open at both ends of the main body, and a tube body and beads are housed in the internal space of the main body. The tube body is open at both ends and has a barrel shape with the center bulging outwards. The tube body and beads move within the internal space of the main body and strike the hammer on the neck, producing a sound that attracts fish, thus functioning as a rattle.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing swivel. A fishing swivel is interposed between the main line of a fishing rod and a rigged leader, and relates to a fishing swivel, also known as a so-called "sinker" or "twist-back", which prevents the fishing line from getting tangled. More specifically, it relates to a fishing swivel incorporating a rattle that makes a clattering sound during casting or action while lure fishing.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, fishing tools to be equipped for lure fishing include a main line, a lure, a swivel, a rattle, a sinker, a fishing hook, a leader, and the like. Here, a lure is a fake bait used in fishing, which is a tool for attracting fish by imitating the appearance and movement of real bait. A swivel is a device that prevents line twists and tangles by tying the end of the main line to a ring member on one side of the body and the end of the leader to the ring member on the other side, allowing relative rotation between the main line and the leader.

[0003] In Patent Document 1, as an example of a swivel, a swivel that can freely rotate relative to each other is disclosed by providing a flange at one end of a pivot pin that extends vertically through the central hole of the ring member.

[0004] In Patent Document 2, a swivel is disclosed in which one side of a pivot hook penetrates longitudinally inside a cylindrical body and its end is formed into a stopper, so that it is integrally connected to be rotatable freely.

[0005] On the other hand, among the supplies used in lure fishing, there are known rattles that attract target fish species with a clattering sound, sheets that glitter by reflecting light to visually attract fish, lures that imitate the appearance of favorite bait, or lures that move like injured fish.

[0006] In this context, a rattle typically has one or more balls housed inside a mostly tubular body, allowing them to move freely. It is attached to any fishing tackle. As another example, the lure shown in Patent Document 3 generates sound through the axial movement of magnets arranged at mutually repelling poles.

[0007] On the other hand, in the case of lures, various types of lures with built-in rattles are commercially available in order to reduce the number of fishing tools that need to be used.

[0008] Patent Document 4 shows an example of a lure with a built-in rattle, in which a chamber is provided inside a tubular body, and a rattle containing countless spherical weights is attached integrally with a spinner blade. The disclosed lure is interposed between the fishing line and the hook via eyelets provided along the vertical axis, so that when the lure is in action, the spherical weights inside the chamber move and collide, producing a sound.

[0009] Patent Document 5 discloses a rattle-type fish lure consisting of a plastic shell assembly having two chambers, each containing multiple metal balls. This lure can be used alone or in combination with live bait, and when it is pulled into the water, the metal balls inside the chambers move, generating a sound that attracts fish.

[0010] Patent Document 6 discloses a weighted fishing hook with a built-in rattle that emits sound from chambers provided on both sides of the stem of the fishing hook. In this case, the inner wall surface of the chamber is an obtuse-angled concave cone, and the weight housed in the chamber has an acute-angled projection integrally attached to the conical wall surface. As a result, the acute-angled projection rotates around its apex as it collides within the obtuse-angled cone, producing sound.

[0011] Patent Document 7 discloses a fishing hook in which a tubular chamber containing a rattle is coaxially attached to the stem portion of the fishing hook, causing it to produce sound during casting and retrieval.

[0012] Incidentally, swivels, which are always included in fishing gear, have never had a built-in rattle function until now.

[0013] Generally, a swivel is based on a structure in which a ring member is pivotally supported on one or both ends of a hollow body, and in some cases, the ring member is pivotally supported by a ball bearing inside the hollow body to allow for even smoother rotation. However, the aforementioned ball bearing only affects the rotation of the ring member and has no relation whatsoever to the generation of sound.

[0014] In lure fishing, to attract fish with sound, one had to carry a rattle separately in addition to the basic fishing equipment consisting of a swivel, lure, sinker, and hook.

[0015] However, it has the drawbacks of being a hassle to check each time to make sure the rattle hasn't fallen out of the fishing gear, and also the hassle of attaching the rattle to the lure or weight. Furthermore, when fishing, the rattle can suddenly fall off and get lost during casting or while the lure is being worked.

[0016] On the other hand, while lures with built-in rattles overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, lures with soft plastic bodies have the problem that the sound produced by the internal rattle is attenuated, resulting in a poor fish-attracting effect. Furthermore, in the case of lures with a metal body, there was a challenge in that the cost was high because the space inside to house the rattle had to be mechanically processed.

[0017] Also, although there is a possibility that a fishing hook with a rattle can also attract fish by sound, it is practically impossible to provide a space around the slender hook in a fishing hook with a rattle accommodation space attached to the side of the stem of the hook, which is also called the needle shaft. And in the case of a fishing hook with a chamber provided coaxially on the stem of the hook, the joint between the stem and the chamber becomes a vulnerable part anyway, so there is a disadvantage that this part often breaks when the caught fish moves its body violently.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0019] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing swivel incorporating a rattle that can simplify the types of fishing gear and attract fish with a rattling sound. [[ID=,49]]

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to provide a fishing swivel incorporating a rattle that can attract fish by generating sound at an optimal volume through various structures and material selections.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0021] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a hollow body with both ends open to through holes, a tube body accommodated in the internal space of the body so as to be movable axially or longitudinally, and a ring member having a hammer formed at the inner end of a neck rotatably attached to the through hole of the body.

[0022] In a characteristic configuration of the present invention, the ring member pivotally supported by the through hole of the body is pivotally supported by a retainer inserted into the through hole at one side or both sides of the neck, and is rotatably pivotally supported by a ball bearing formed by arranging a large number of balls between the retainer and the hammer of the neck.

[0023] Also, in a characteristic configuration of the present invention, both ends of the tube body may be open to through holes, or may have a barrel shape in which the diameter decreases from the middle to both ends.

[0024] Also, in a characteristic configuration of the present invention, the tube body accommodated in the body has both ends open, and one bead may be further accommodated outside, or one bead may be further accommodated inside the tube body together with the outside bead.

[0025] Also, in a characteristic configuration of the present invention, the tube body accommodated in the internal space of the body can accommodate at least one bead or two beads inside, and both ends of the tube body can be sealed with metal balls or a sealing material made of thermoplastic resin.

[0026] Also, in a characteristic configuration of the present invention, a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle in which a body having a tube body with one bead accommodated in the inner space and another body having a tube body with one bead accommodated outside the tube body with one bead accommodated are connected in a row by a connecting rod.

[0027] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the two main bodies connected in a line by a connecting rod can also house two beads inside the tubular bodies contained within their respective internal spaces.

[0028] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the beads consist of one selected material from tungsten, stainless steel, plastic, and ceramic.

[0029] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the tubular body is made of one selected material from ABS, PC, PVC, HIPS, nylon 6, PP, HDPE, POM, and PTFE.

[0030] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the thermoplastic resin used to seal both ends of the tubular body can also be polyacetal.

[0031] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the outer diameter of the beads is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 0.8 to 0.89 relative to the maximum value of the inner diameter of the tube body, and the maximum value of the outer diameter of the tube body is preferably in the range of 0.88 to 0.93 relative to the inner diameter of the main body.

[0032] Furthermore, in the characteristic configuration of the present invention, a fishing swivel is formed by a hollow body with holes at both ends, in which one or two beads having an outer diameter in the range of 0.88 to 0.93 relative to the inner diameter of the body are housed in the space of the body, the neck of a ring member is pivotally supported in the through-hole of the body so as to be rotatable, and a rattle formed at the end of the ring member is built inside. [Effects of the Invention]

[0033] According to the present invention, a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle has the effect of generating a sound that attracts fish as the tube body moves up and down from inside the main body. In other words, each time you cast or perform an action while fishing, the open tube body inside the swivel connected to the main line moves in conjunction in the axial or longitudinal direction, and the collision sound generated when its ends strike the hammer of the ring member or the hammer of the ball bearing at the top and bottom respectively will pique the fish's curiosity and entice them towards the lure. This effect is equivalent to the sound-based fish-attracting effect of a typical fishing rattle, but the swivel of the present invention offers the advantage of eliminating the need to carry a separate rattle.

[0034] In the fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the present invention, the sound that attracts fish is generated when a barrel-shaped tube body, which is housed inside the main body so as to be movable in the axial or longitudinal direction, strikes the hammer.

[0035] Furthermore, the sound wave vibrations in this process spread along the barrel-shaped surface of the tube body, generating vibration waves of different wavelengths at different locations. This causes wave interference, resulting in a louder sound.

[0036] Furthermore, in a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the present invention, if a metal ball or a tube body containing beads inside and sealed at both ends with thermoplastic resin is used, the sound produced when the tube body strikes the hammer from the inside of the main body, and the sound produced when the beads strike both inner ends from inside the tube body, coexist and interfere with each other as waves, resulting in a louder sound. Other objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating specific embodiments of the invention.

[0038] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. However, the embodiments disclosed should be understood as merely simple examples of the various ways in which the invention can be embodied. Accordingly, the details disclosed herein should not be interpreted literally by each embodiment alone, but rather should be viewed simply as a starting point for presenting to those in the art a method of manufacturing and / or using the invention.

[0039] Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the present invention, in which the swivel body 2 is a hollow body with an internal space 4, and both ends are open by through holes 6.

[0040] The aforementioned through-hole 6 is actually formed by plastic deformation of the end of the pipe-shaped main material through a shrinking process. More specifically, the ring member 8 is provided by inserting the neck 10 of the ring member 8 into one side of the pipe-shaped or hollow main body 2 before processing, and then pressing its outer end with a processing tool while rotating the main body 2. As the end of the main body 2 shrinks, a through hole 6 is formed that pivotally supports the neck 10 of the ring member 8 so that it can rotate freely.

[0041] Furthermore, the neck 10 of the ring member 8 has a blunt hammer-shaped end 12 that faces inward from the main body 2, and a single tube body 14 is housed in the space 4 of the main body 2. In this embodiment, the tube body 14 is open at both ends, and its outer shape is barrel-shaped with the center bulging outwards. The barrel-shaped tube body 14 is preferably configured so that its maximum outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the main body 2. There are no particular limitations, but it is preferable that it be in the range of 0.82 to 0.93. In this way, the tube body 14 will not tilt sideways when it moves back and forth axially inside the main body 2.

[0042] The swivel of the present invention, with the configuration described above, is used in the same way as in the conventional method: the main line is tied to one ring member 8, and the leader of the rig, to which the weight, lure, fishing hook, etc. are attached, is tied to the other ring member 8, and fishing is performed.

[0043] Anglers manipulate their fishing rods in ways such as hopping, twitching, jerking, shaking, dragging, and walking the dog to attract fish, producing movements that match the type of lure they are using. Each time the fishing rod is manipulated in this way, the fishing swivel with the built-in rattle according to the present invention generates a rattling sound to attract fish.

[0044] In this embodiment, sound is generated when a barrel-shaped tube body 14, which is open at both ends, strikes the hammers 12 of the neck 10 at the top and bottom of the inner axis of the main body 2, resonating with its proper vibration and producing a rattling sound. Furthermore, the resonance of the barrel-shaped, open tube body 14 generates sounds of different wavelengths at different locations along its surface, resulting in the production of a considerably loud sound due to wave interference.

[0045] Therefore, by using only the fishing swivel with the built-in rattle according to the present invention, it is possible to produce a sound to attract fish, eliminating the need for a separate rattle.

[0046] Figure 2 is a diagram showing a modified example of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment as well, the main body 2 has an internal space 4, which houses a single barrel-shaped open tube body 14. Furthermore, the ring member 8a on one side of the main body 2 integrally has a neck 10 pivotally supported in the through hole 6 and a hammer 12 at its end.

[0047] However, compared to the first embodiment, the only difference is that the neck 10 of the other ring member 8b, which has a hammer 12 integrally at its end, is pivotally supported by a ball bearing system that penetrates the center of the retainer 18 that holds the ball 16.

[0048] In the modified structure shown, the neck 10 of the other ring member 8b is pivotally supported to the main body 2 via a ball bearing, which allows for even smoother relative rotation between the two ring members 8. This makes it particularly suitable for fishing for large fish, where the fishing line can twist rapidly during fishing. In this modification, the effect of attracting fish with sound is achieved in the same way as in the above embodiment, without the need to use an additional rattle.

[0049] Figure 3 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and shows that in the structure shown in Figure 2, another bead 20 is housed in the space 4 outside the tube body 14. The bead 20 can move in the axial or longitudinal direction of the body 2 within the space 4 of the body 2.

[0050] Thus, in a structure where the tube body 14 and the bead 20 are housed together in the space 4 of the main body 2, when the fishing rod is actuated, collision sounds are generated between the hammer 12 and the end of the tube body 14, between the hammer 12 and the bead 20, and between the end of the tube body 14 and the bead 20. These three types of sounds intersect and wave interference occurs, resulting in a sound of considerable volume. Therefore, since it is possible to attract fish with sound without having to separately equip the fishing gear with an existing rattle, it has the same advantages as the embodiment described above.

[0051] Figure 4 shows a modified example of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which another inner bead 20a is housed in the tube body 14 of the swivel in Figure 3, and the other ring member 8b is pivotally supported by a ball bearing made of a ball 16 and a retainer 18 so as to be rotatable.

[0052] In this way, by arranging the beads 20, the tube body 14, and the inner beads 20a together in the space 4 of the main body 2, when the fishing rod is actuated, four types of sounds intersect and wave interference occurs, resulting in a sound of considerable volume. These four types of sounds are generated from the collision sounds between the hammer 12 and the end of the tube body 14, between the beads 20 and the end of the tube body 14, between the inner periphery of the tube body 14 and the inner beads 20a, and between the hammer 12 and the inner beads 20a.

[0053] Therefore, it can attract fish with sound without requiring the addition of a separate rattle to the fishing gear, and the ball bearings also effectively prevent line twisting, making it suitable for fishing for large fish species.

[0054] Figure 5 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, one inner bead 20a is housed in the tube body 14 of the first embodiment described above, and both ends of the tube body 14 are sealed with a sealing material 22, the sealing material 22 being a metal ball.

[0055] In a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle of this configuration, when the fishing rod is moved, two types of sounds, primarily collision sounds, occur as they intersect and interfere with each other, resulting in a considerably loud sound. These sounds originate from the collision between the two hammers 12 and the sealing materials 22a (metal balls) at both ends of the tube body 14, and from the sealing materials 22b (metal balls) at both inner ends of the tube body 14 and the inside 20a. Therefore, since it is possible to attract fish with sound without having to separately equip the fishing gear with an existing rattle, it has the same advantages as the embodiment described above.

[0056] Figure 6 is a diagram showing a modified example of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and shows a configuration in which a pair of inner beads 20a are housed in the tube body 14, compared to Figure 5.

[0057] In a swivel with this configuration, when the fishing rod is moved, three types of sounds intersect and interact as waves, producing a considerable amount of noise: collision sounds between the hammers 12 on both sides and the outside of the sealing material 22, between the tube body 14 and the inside of the sealing material 22 and a certain inner bead 20a, and between the pair of inner beads 20a. Therefore, since it is possible to attract fish with sound without having to separately equip the fishing gear with an existing rattle, it has the same advantages as the embodiment described above.

[0058] Figure 7 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment shows that one inner bead 20a is housed in the tube body 14, and both ends are sealed with a thermoplastic resin, polyacetal resin, as a sealing material 22.

[0059] The sealing of both ends of the tube body 14 with polyacetal resin is easy to work with due to the hot pressurization of the resin, and because it has physical properties similar to metal, it produces a metallic sound each time the sealing material 22 hits the hammer 12, or each time the sealing material 22 hits the inner beads 20a.

[0060] On the other hand, in this embodiment, one of the ring members 8 may be provided with a snap. The snap is not limited to the illustrated form, and any type commonly sold in the fishing industry can be used regardless of its form, and the snap helps in easily attaching the lure.

[0061] In a swivel with this configuration, when the fishing rod is put to work, the collision sounds generated between the two hammers 12 and the outside of the sealant 22, and between the sealant 22 of the tube body 14 and the inner bead 20a, combine to create wave interference, resulting in a considerably loud sound. Therefore, since it is possible to attract fish with sound without having to separately equip the fishing gear with an existing rattle, it has the same advantages as the embodiment described above.

[0062] Figure 8 is a diagram showing a modified example of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Compared to the configuration in Figure 7, the difference is that the tube body 14 houses a pair of inner beads 20a, and the other ring member 8b is pivotally supported by a ball bearing.

[0063] In this embodiment, the pair of inner beads 20a are made of tungsten and stainless steel. In a swivel with this configuration, when the fishing rod is worked, three types of sounds intersect and interfere with each other to produce a considerably loud sound: the collision sound between the two hammers 12 and the outer surfaces of the two sealing materials 22, the collision sound between the pair of inner beads 20a from the tube body 14 and the inner surface of the sealing material 22, and the collision sound between the pair of inner beads 20a. Furthermore, the ball bearings effectively prevent the main line from twisting, making it suitable for fishing for large fish species.

[0064] Therefore, since it is possible to attract fish with sound without having to separately equip the fishing gear with an existing rattle, it has the same advantages as the embodiment described above.

[0065] Furthermore, the metal ball, which is the sealing material 22 in the third embodiment described above, and the thermoplastic synthetic resin, which is the sealing material 22 in the fourth embodiment, can be mixed. More specifically, it is also possible to seal one side of the tube body 14 with the metal ball sealing material 22 and the other side with the thermoplastic synthetic resin sealing material 22.

[0066] Figure 9 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The tube body 14, which contains one inner bead 20a, is an injection-molded object in the shape of a bottomed bucket, and an injection-molded stopper is sandwiched as a sealing material 22 at the opening on one side, and the two are ultrasonically bonded.

[0067] In this embodiment, the inner bead 20a is made of plastic, and the bottomed bucket-shaped tube body 14 is suitable for a swivel with a small inner diameter.

[0068] Even with a swivel of this configuration, when the fishing rod is put into action, the hammer 12 of one ring member 8a and the outer surface of the sealing material 22, or the hammer 12 of the other ring member 8b and The collision sounds generated between the lower surfaces of the tube body 14 and between the inner bottom of the tube body 14, or between the inner surface of the sealing material 22 and the inner beads 20a, become the two types of sounds, and as they intersect, wave interference occurs, producing a sound of considerable magnitude. Therefore, the swivel in this embodiment also has the advantage of being able to attract fish with sound without requiring the fishing tackle to be separately equipped with an existing rattle.

[0069] Figure 10 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, one side body 2a and the other side body 2b are connected in a line by a link 24. The one side body 2a houses a barrel-shaped tube body 14 having one inner bead 20a, and the other side body 2b houses a barrel-shaped tube body 14 having an inner bead 20a, along with an additional bead 20 in the outer space 4.

[0070] In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, both ends of the tube body 14 are open through holes 6. Furthermore, hammer portions 26 are formed at both ends of the link 24, which is pivotally supported by the through holes 6 in one side body 2a and the other side body 2b and is rotatable.

[0071] Even with a swivel of this configuration, when the fishing rod is put to work, three types of collision sounds are generated from the one side of the main body 2a between the hammer 12 of the ring member 8 and the tube body 14, from the hammer part 26 of the link 24 and the tube body 14, and from the inside of the tube body 14 and the inner bead 20a. These four types of collision sounds are generated from the other side of the main body 2b between the hammer part 26 of the link 24 and the bead 20, between the tube body 14 and the bead 20, between the tube body 14 and the inner bead 20a, and between the tube body 14 and the hammer 12 of the ring member 8. These seven types of collision sounds intersect and undergo wave interference, resulting in a considerably loud sound. Therefore, the swivel in this embodiment also has the advantage of being able to attract fish with sound without requiring the fishing tackle to be separately equipped with an existing rattle.

[0072] Figure 11 is a diagram showing a modified example of a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment as well, one body 2a and the other body 2b are connected by a link 24, however, one body 2a houses a barrel-shaped tube body 14 having a pair of inner beads 20a, while the other body 2b houses a barrel-shaped tube body 14 having a pair of inner beads 20a, and an additional bead 20 is housed together in the outer space 4. Hammers 12 are similarly formed at both ends of the link 24.

[0073] Even with a swivel of this configuration, when the fishing rod is put to work, four types of collision sounds are generated from the one side of the main body 2a between the hammer 12 of the ring member 8 and the tube body 14, between the hammer part 26 of the link 24 and the tube body 14, between the inside of the tube body 14 and the pair of inner beads 20a, and between the two inner beads 20a themselves. These four types of collision sounds are generated from the other side of the main body 2b between the hammer part 26 of the link 24 and the bead 20, between the tube body 14 and the bead 20, between the tube body 14 and the inner beads 20a, and between the tube body 14 and the hammer 12 of the ring member 8. These eight types of sounds intersect and undergo wave interference, resulting in a sound of considerable volume.

[0074] Therefore, the swivel in this embodiment also has the advantage of being able to attract fish with sound without requiring the fishing tackle to be separately equipped with an existing rattle. The tubular body can be provided from one of the following materials: ABS resin, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, high-impact polystyrene, nylon 6, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, polyacetal resin, and polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0075] Figure 12 is a diagram showing a fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the inside of the swivel body 2 is a space 4, through holes 6 are formed at both ends of the space to pivotally support the neck 10 of the ring member 8 so as to be rotatable, and a single bead 20 is housed in the space 4 so as to be movable in the axial direction.

[0076] In a swivel with this configuration, when the fishing rod is worked, the bead 20 moves axially from inside the main body 2, and each time it hits the hammer 12 of the ring member 8 at the top and bottom, it makes a considerable noise, which is effective in attracting fish. Therefore, this embodiment also has the same advantages as the previously described embodiment, as it can attract fish with sound without requiring the fishing gear to be separately equipped with an existing rattle.

[0077] With respect to each of the embodiments described above, the ratio of the outer diameter of the tube body 14 to the inner diameter of the main body 2, or the ratio of the outer diameter of the beads 20, and the ratio of the outer diameter of the beads 20 to the inner diameter of the tube body 14 should be set within a desirable range that enables good rattle function.

[0078] The following table shows the values ​​related to the inner diameter of the main body 2, the outer diameter of the tube body 14, and the outer diameter of the beads 20, as set for each embodiment. These values ​​are merely examples of appropriate ratios in this invention and are not intended to necessarily limit the range.

[0079] [Table 1] B: Main unit specifications B1:Outer diameter B2: Inner diameter B3: Overall length C: Tube body standard C1:Outer diameter C2: Inner diameter C3: Overall length D: Bead specifications D1: Tungsten D2: Stainless steel D3: Plastic D4: Ceramic E: Proportional value E1:C1 / B2 E2:D / C2 E3:C3 / B3

[0080] Examples of Embodiment 6 and its modified form have been omitted from Table 1 above. According to Table 1 above, the appropriate ratio of the outer diameter of the tube to the inner diameter of the main body is 0.82 to 0.93 mm, the appropriate ratio of the bead diameter to the inner diameter of the tube is 0.8 to 0.9 mm, and the appropriate ratio of the total length of the tube to the total length of the main body is 0.4 to 0.6 mm.

[0081] The samples from each of the aforementioned embodiments were tied to fishing lines, and the sound was measured while they were swung up and down in water. For the measurements, the auditory equipment used was the reson TC4013 from Beijing Zhihonghengtuo Technology, and the collected auditory data was analyzed using the Signal lab ear Installer from Wuhan Xingge Technology. The listening results are shown in Table 2 below, representing the volume (dB) for each embodiment.

[0082] [Table 2]

[0083] As can be seen in Table 2 above, the fishing swivel with a built-in rattle according to the present invention produces the loudest sound from the samples of Embodiments 3 and 3-1, followed by Embodiments 2-1, 4-1 and 7, and then Embodiments 1, 1-1, 2 and 5 produce a slightly lower volume. However, since the aforementioned measurements are also related to the specifications and materials of the main body, tube, beads, etc., it is difficult to say which is the best, but the volume generated by each sample is in no way inferior to existing commercially available rattles. Therefore, the fishing swivel with the built-in rattle according to the present invention can also effectively attract fish with the sound it emits while fishing.

[0084] The embodiments described above are in all respects merely illustrative, and the scope of this disclosure is as set forth in the claims, and the text of the specification is not in any way restrictive. Furthermore, any modifications or alterations that fall within the scope of the claims are within the scope of this disclosure. [Explanation of Symbols]
