[0019] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. The components that pass through are assigned the same reference numeral.

[0020] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 5, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figures 1, 3, and 5, the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a cavity 11 inside, the cavity 11 being visible from the outside, and a plurality of reflective members 4 (a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 in the illustrated example) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on at least one of the outer surface of the main body 2, the inner surface of the main body 2, or the cavity 11 (in the illustrated example, the inner surface of the main body 2), so that the light from the outside is specularly reflected multiple times (at least twice or more) (in the illustrated example, it is specularly reflected twice). By causing multiple specular reflections in this way, it is possible to capture and reflect incident light over a wider range, and to transmit the reflected light in a desired direction more reliably. Note that when a plurality of reflective members 4 (for example, reflective surfaces 6) are provided, the plurality of reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 may be provided as an integral part or as separate parts. Even when multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided as separate components, some or all of the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) may be provided in contact with the main body 2 (the same applies throughout this specification). Here, since the reflective member 4 performs specular reflection, the reflective surface of the reflective member 4 is formed on a plane that satisfies the law of reflection (in reflection, the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs) (the same applies hereinafter). In addition, the reflective member 4 includes a reflective surface 6 or a reflector 7, but other configurations are also conceivable (the same applies hereinafter). Here, external light is incident from various directions, but mainly sunlight reaching the water from above the water surface is considered. Such external light (incident light) is incident from above the water surface toward the lure in the water in an up-and-down (vertical) or diagonal direction. Since the lure is intended to attract fish predators, it is desirable that specular reflection occurs approximately to the left and right (horizontal) or diagonally to the side of the lure. In this regard, lures are designed to perform predetermined movements during actual fishing, and when reflective elements that produce specular reflection are placed, the expected movement of the lure (also called lure action) can be taken into consideration in advance and placed in an appropriate position, but it is not intended to limit them to a specific position or orientation.Furthermore, while it can be said that providing multiple reflective surfaces improves the efficiency of reflecting incident light to the appropriate range (direction) due to multi-directional specular reflection, please note that if the lure action is rolling, even a single reflective element can effectively reflect light to the appropriate range (direction).

[0021] According to a fishing lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation of external light reflection is reduced. This enables multiple reflections with higher brightness and allows for the formation of reflected light in various directions. By acclimatizing it, it becomes possible to attract fish-eating predators more reliably and powerfully. This makes it possible to provide lures equipped with a pull mechanism. Here, specular reflection is defined by the "law of reflection". It is defined as "reflection where the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs," and Compared to normal diffuse reflection, the brightness of the reflected light is higher, so by causing specular reflection of external light, The intensity of incoming light can be significantly increased, and as a result, reflected light can be transmitted over long distances. It is known that (and so on). Here, the luminance of specular reflection and diffuse reflection depends on various conditions. Although it varies, under the same conditions, diffuse reflection has a brightness of approximately 1 / 5 or less than that of specular reflection. In the invention, the term "specular reflection" refers not only to ideal specular reflection, but also to reflection that is 40% less than ideal specular reflection. Please note that this also includes reflections with a brightness of % or more (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0022] Next, with reference to Figures 1 and 2, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a cavity inside 1 The main body 2 has a cavity 11 which is visible from the outside and reflects light from the outside into a mirror surface. One or more reflective members 4 (reflective surface 6 in the illustrated example) are located on the outer surface of the main body 2. At least one of the inner surface of the main body 2 or the cavity 11 (in the illustrated example, the outer surface of the main body 2) ) is provided, and light from the outside is specularly reflected multiple times (at least twice or more) (as shown in the figure) In this example, the light is specularly reflected twice. By causing multiple specular reflections in this way, it is possible to capture and reflect a wider range of incident light, and to ensure more reliable reflection. This makes it possible to transmit the reflected light in a desired direction. Furthermore, if multiple reflective members 4 (for example, reflective surfaces 6) are provided, the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 may be provided as a single unit or as separate components. Even when the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided as separate components, some or all of the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) may be provided in contact with the main body 2 (the same applies throughout this specification). Here, as described above, since the reflective member 4 performs specular reflection, the reflective surface of the reflective member 4 is formed on a plane where the law of reflection (in reflection, the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs) holds true (the same applies hereinafter).

[0023] According to a fishing lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation of external light reflection is reduced. This enables multiple reflections with higher brightness and allows for the formation of reflected light in various directions. By acclimatizing it, it becomes possible to attract fish-eating predators more reliably and powerfully. This makes it possible to provide lures equipped with a pull mechanism. Here, specular reflection is defined by the "law of reflection". It is defined as "reflection where the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs," and Compared to normal diffuse reflection, the brightness of the reflected light is higher, so by causing specular reflection of external light, The intensity of incoming light can be significantly increased, and as a result, reflected light can be transmitted over long distances. It is known that (and so on). Here, the luminance of specular reflection and diffuse reflection depends on various conditions. Although it varies, under the same conditions, diffuse reflection has a brightness of approximately 1 / 5 or less than that of specular reflection. In the invention, the term "specular reflection" refers not only to ideal specular reflection, but also to reflection that is 40% less than ideal specular reflection. Please note that this also includes reflections with a brightness of % or more (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0024] Next, with reference to Figure 4, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 4, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a cavity 11 inside. The main body 2 is provided, and the cavity 11 is visible from the outside and capable of mirror-reflecting light from the outside. One or more reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) are located on the outer surface of the main body 2, the inner surface of the main body 2, or the It is provided in at least one of the cavities 11 (in the illustrated example, inside cavities 11), and from the outside Light is specularly reflected multiple times (at least twice) (in the example shown, it is specularly reflected twice). By causing multiple specular reflections in this manner, a wider range of incident light can be received. It can capture and reflect light, and more reliably transmit the reflected light in the desired direction. It becomes possible to tighten it. Furthermore, if multiple reflective members 4 (for example, reflective surfaces 6) are provided... In this case, the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided either as an integral part or as separate components. This is also possible when multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided as separate components. However, some or all of the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) may be provided in contact with the main body 2 (the same applies throughout this specification). Here, the reflective member 4 is a mirror surface as described above. In order to perform reflection, the reflective surface of the reflective member 4 is formed on a plane that satisfies the law of reflection (in reflection, the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs) (the same applies hereafter).

[0025] According to a fishing lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation of external light reflection is reduced. By enabling the formation of stronger luminosity and reflected light in various directions, it becomes possible to achieve more reliable results. Furthermore, to provide a lure equipped with an attracting section capable of strongly attracting predatory fish. This becomes possible. Here, specular reflection is defined as "the law of reflection (angle of incidence and angle of reflection in reflection)." It is defined as "reflection where (the signs are equal and opposite) holds true," and compared to ordinary diffuse reflection, the reflected light Due to its high brightness, specular reflection of external light is performed, significantly increasing the intensity of the reflected light. It has been found that this is possible, and as a result, reflected light can be transmitted over long distances (the same applies hereafter). The luminance of specular reflection and diffuse reflection varies depending on various conditions, but under the same conditions, diffuse reflection has a luminance of approximately 1 / 5 or less than that of specular reflection. In this invention, when we refer to "specular reflection," it should be noted that this includes not only ideal specular reflection but also reflection with a luminance of 40% or more compared to it (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0026] Next, with reference to Figure 5, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 5 shows some of the multiple reflectors in Lure 1, but is a fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention. Lure 1 comprises a main body 2 having a cavity 11 inside, and the cavity 11 is visible from the outside. There are one or more reflective members 4 (in the illustrated example, multiple reflectors) capable of specularly reflecting external light. The projectile 7 (a square pyramidal prism) is projected onto the outer surface of the main body 2, the inner surface of the main body 2, or the cavity 1 It is provided in at least one of the parts of 1 (in the illustrated example, the inner surface of the main body part 2), and light from the outside The light is specularly reflected multiple times (at least twice) (in the illustrated example, it is specularly reflected twice). By causing multiple specular reflections in this way, it is possible to capture and reflect incident light over a wider range, and to transmit the reflected light more reliably in the desired direction. When multiple reflective members 4 (for example, reflective surfaces 6) are provided, the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 may be provided as an integral part or as separate parts. Even when the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided as separate parts, some or all of the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surfaces 6) may be provided in contact with the main body 2 (the same applies throughout this specification). Here, as described above, since the reflective member 4 performs specular reflection, the reflective surface of the reflective member 4 is formed on a plane that satisfies the law of reflection (in reflection, the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs) (the same applies hereinafter).

[0027] According to a fishing lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation of external light reflection is reduced. This enables multiple reflections with higher brightness and allows for the formation of reflected light in various directions. By acclimatizing it, it becomes possible to attract fish-eating predators more reliably and powerfully. This makes it possible to provide lures equipped with a pull mechanism. Here, specular reflection is defined by the "law of reflection". It is defined as "reflection where the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal and have opposite signs," and Compared to normal diffuse reflection, the brightness of the reflected light is higher, so by causing specular reflection of external light, The intensity of incoming light can be significantly increased, and as a result, reflected light can be transmitted over long distances. It is known that (and so on). Here, the luminance of specular reflection and diffuse reflection depends on various conditions. Although it varies, under the same conditions, diffuse reflection has a brightness of approximately 1 / 5 or less than that of specular reflection. In the invention, the term "specular reflection" refers not only to ideal specular reflection, but also to reflection that is 40% less than ideal specular reflection. Please note that this also includes reflections with a brightness of % or more (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0028] Furthermore, the multiple reflective members 4 (reflective surface 6, reflector 7) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are The outer surface of the main body 2 and the inner surface of the main body 2, the outer surface of the main body 2 and the inside of the cavity 11, or the main body 2 It may be provided on the inner surface and within the cavity 11. One or more reflective members 4 (reflective surface 6, reflector 7) are located on the outer surface of the main body 2 and the inner surface of the main body 2. The reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) may be provided on the surface and inside the cavity 11. When the reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) is provided inside the cavity 11, in the process of light from the outside being specularly reflected by the reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) provided inside the cavity 11, a portion of the light from the outside will pass through the main body 2. However, because diffuse transmission occurs when it reaches the cavity 11, the incident light into the cavity 11 will be diffused in various directions. However, since much of this incident light is specularly reflected by the reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) inside the cavity 11, even relatively weak incident light can be reliably reflected with high brightness with reduced attenuation during reflection, and the reflected light can be reflected in a wider range of directions. Furthermore, such transmitted light may form colored light as described later in the process of incident into the object it passes through or reflected light emitted to the outside. The light reflected in this way can also be reliably reflected with high brightness with reduced attenuation during reflection as colored reflected light.

[0029] Next, as shown in Figure 6, in a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reflection Face 6 is a polygon containing multiple circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc. with different angles (Figure 6a, Figure 6a) In the case of 6b and 6c, the structure is formed in an arc shape or a scale-like shape (a shape that mimics fish scales). In a fishing lure according to one embodiment of the invention, the reflective surface is a plurality of curved surfaces (as shown in Figure 6d). It is formed in a (sixty-like) or spherical shape (in the case of Figure 6e). In this way, specular reflection is performed multiple times (2 It becomes possible to configure it so that it is performed (more than once).

[0030] Next, as shown in Figure 7, in a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reflection Body 7 is, at least in part, a cylinder (in the case of Figure 7a), a wave (in the case of Figure 7b), or a polygonal prism. Polygons such as pyramids (in the case of Figure 7c), polyhedra (in the case of Figure 7d), and spheres (in the case of Figure 7e) ), formed in a tile-like (sawtooth-like) or tile-like layered structure. In this way, more people This makes it possible to perform specular reflection with respect to incident light from the direction, and also allows for multiple specular reflections. By performing this action multiple times, it becomes possible to create a realistic reflective light that mimics that of baitfish, thus enabling an effective appeal to fish.

[0031] In a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors When 7 is provided within the cavity 11, the one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflector 7 are of the main body 2 It is supported by some directly or indirectly.

[0032] In a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 2 diffuses light from the outside. It is formed to be transmissive. In this way, it is possible to perform multiple specular reflections simultaneously. This is how it works. Furthermore, in a fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the light from the outside or the reflected light to the outside is made to be able to produce color when it passes through the main body. In this case, in order to produce color from the transmitted light, the main body is formed of transparent ABS resin or acrylic resin that is colored to produce the desired color within the range through which light can pass, but is not limited to these. In this way, if it is desired to generate colored reflected light, the transmitted light that passes through the main body can be used.

[0033] In a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors When 7 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 2, the one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflector 7 are, for example, , vapor deposition coating, holographic film, hologram sheet, metal bonding, resin bonding or glass sheet A mirror surface is formed by adhesion, but is not limited to these. In this way, for example, For example, it can be used on parts of the lure, such as the belly (underside), where light from above the water surface easily enters, to improve reflection efficiency. To improve performance, such as emitting stronger reflected light, or to reliably reflect even weak incident light. This becomes possible.

[0034] In a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 2 is made of resin (for example, AB It is formed from S, acrylic, etc. or metal (for example, zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.). Furthermore, the main body 2 is made partly of resin (e.g., ABS, acrylic, etc.) or metal (e.g., axylamide, acrylic, etc.). It may be formed from at least one of the following: lead, lead, tungsten, etc. Furthermore, in a fishing lure 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 are provided If this is the case, each reflective surface 6 or reflector 7 may have the same shape or different shapes.

[0035] Next, with reference to Figure 8, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 8, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has one or more reflective surfaces 6 Alternatively, if the reflector 7 (in the illustrated example, one reflective surface 6) is provided inside the cavity 11, then A reflective member 4 having multiple reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 (in the illustrated example, one reflective surface 6) The reflective member 4 is provided, and the reflective member 4 is supported by a support member 3, one end of which is supported by a part of the main body 2 13. The support member 3 is supported, and when viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the extension direction of the reflective member 4, the support member 3 is supported, and4 is supported, At the center position or at a position eccentric from the center position (in the illustrated example, at an eccentric position) It is configured to support the reflective member 4.

[0036] In this way, by offsetting the support position of the support member 3 from the center position of the reflecting member 4, By oscillating the reflective member 4, the reflective member 4 that performs specular reflection receives light from the outside in various ways. By making it possible to strongly reflect the light in one direction, the reflected light will definitely reach fish-eating predators. Because it can reach the target, it becomes possible to significantly increase the attraction effect.

[0037] Next, with reference to Figure 9, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 9, a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has one or more reflective surfaces 6 Alternatively, if the reflector 7 is provided inside the cavity 11, the one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflector 7 A reflective member 4 is provided, and the reflective member 4 has one end 13 supported on a part of the main body 2. The reflective member 4 is supported by a support member 3, and the reflective member 4 is supported by a ball bearing or a spring member (as shown in the example). It is supported by the support member 3 via the spring 17).

[0038] In this way, for example, by supporting the reflective member 4 with the spring member 17, the oscillating member By oscillating 4, the reflective member 4 that performs specular reflection receives light from the outside in various directions. By enabling strong reflection, the reflected light can be reliably delivered to fish-eating predators, significantly increasing the attractiveness of the lure.

[0039] In each of the embodiments described above, the swinging reflective member 4 may be configured to have multiple reflective parts. In this case, the reflective member 4 can be supported by one or more support members 3. In this way, the multiple swinging parts of the reflective member 4 can reflect light received from the outside in various directions, so that the reflected light can be reliably reached to fish eaters, thereby greatly increasing the attraction effect.

[0040] Furthermore, the reflective members 4 provided on the outer and inner surfaces of the main body 2 are arranged with gaps between them. Therefore, external light enters the main body 2 through the gap, and the external light that enters in this way is The light may also be reflected off another reflective member 4 located within section 2. The multiple oscillating parts of component 4 can reflect light received from the outside in various directions, ensuring that the reflected light reaches fish-eating predators, thereby significantly increasing the attractive effect.

[0041] Furthermore, a fishing lure according to another embodiment of the present invention is made of resin (for example, ABS, acrylic). Formed from (etc.) or metal (e.g., zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.), it reflects external light like a mirror. Multiple reflective surfaces or reflectors capable of reflecting light are provided on the outer surface of the lure, and light from the outside is reflected multiple times. It is specularly reflected. In addition, a fishing lure according to another embodiment of the present invention is made of the above-mentioned resin and metal. It may be formed from an external material. Also, a fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention is a This refers to a jig, tenya, or spoon. In this specification, lures include jigs, tenya, or spoons. Please note that this includes the following: Specular reflection of light incident on the outer surface from multiple directions. If a reflective surface or reflector is appropriately provided on the outer surface, even if it is a jig, tenya, or spoon Because the reflected light reliably reaches fish-eating predators, it is possible to significantly increase the attractive effect. In addition, a fishing lure according to another embodiment of the present invention may be formed solid, in which case the lure is formed so that there is no hollow part inside. Alternatively, a fishing lure according to another embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a hollow part in at least a part thereof.

[0042] Next, in a fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, one or more reflective surfaces 6 or The method for forming the reflective surface that performs specular reflection of the projectile 7 will be explained. Methods of production include, for example, resin injection molding, molding of metals or glass, lamination molding of ultrathin coatings, or This could involve forming a coating on a metal or resin molded surface, but other conventionally known techniques can also be used. In this way, a specular reflective surface is directly formed on the inner or outer surface of the lure's body. The mirror-like reflective surface member is formed in the hollow part of the lure, and this is then bonded to the main body. Cut.

[0043] Furthermore, whether the reflective surface to be formed performs specular reflection or diffuse reflection depends on the reflective surface to be formed. Although it is greatly affected by factors such as surface roughness and material, the fishing rod according to one embodiment of the present invention The specular reflective surfaces of one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 in A1 are ideal specular reflections. Determine the material and surface roughness that enable reflection with a brightness of 40% or more compared to the above, and the forming method described above. It can be formed by using [a certain method]. For example, in the case of resin injection molding, in particular, the surface roughness of the mold surface It is affected by the molding material, but there are differences depending on the material used for the lure (for example, when compared to acrylic). The surface roughness of frequently used ABS materials can also significantly affect mirror-finish formation. However, the effect of surface roughness can be reduced by applying a thin layer of transparent paint to the mirror surface.

[0044] Here, Japanese Patent Publication No. 09-154438 discloses an example of diffuse reflection as a color-emitting lure, and the following physical and technical characteristics can be cited as a method for producing color in the specularly reflected light of a lure. Reflected light from an object produces color because it contains a large amount of a specific wavelength component due to the absorption of a specific wavelength from that object. In the case of diffuse reflection, the diffusely reflected light "produces" that color because some of the color from the surface of the object is absorbed by the object (called "absorption of light") and diffusely reflected. In contrast, in the case of specular reflection, specularly reflected light is a reflection of a mirror that is emitted in the direction of reflection angle equal to the angle of incidence, and is different from diffuse reflection which is emitted in directions other than the angle of reflection. Therefore, it can be said that it is basically not the case that some of the color from the surface of the object "produces" in the reflected light. In other words, if the reflected light appears to be colored with the color of the surface of the object, it indicates that the color has been absorbed and diffusely reflected in the reflected light, and it can be said that it is not specular reflection. However, it should be noted that, as a method of producing color from specularly reflected light, if the lure body is made of transparent resin and colored like stained glass red glass, then in the case of transmitted light (not reflected light), external incident light (e.g., white incident light) or reflected light to the outside will only transmit red light. As a result, since light other than red is absorbed as it passes through the lure body, only red light will be transmitted, resulting in red light (light with color).

[0045] As mentioned above, external light enters the water from various directions, primarily sunlight reaching the water from above the water surface. This external light (incident light) enters the lure in the water from above the water surface in an up-and-down (vertical) or diagonal direction. In the lure of the present invention, this external light (incident light) is reflected by specular reflection, which has a higher brightness of reflected light compared to normal diffuse reflection (in the case of scattered reflection), for example, in the left-right (lateral) or diagonally lateral direction of the lure. This significantly increases the intensity of the reflected light reflected by the lure (object), and as a result, the reflected light can be transmitted over a long distance. Furthermore, if necessary, the reflected light can be transmitted through a colored translucent resin body to produce a color that fish prefer. It has been found that the lure of the present invention can attract fish predators more accurately and reliably.
