Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to lures. [Background technology]

[0002] The prior art described in Patent Document 1 discloses a lure. The main body of the lure has a dorsal outer surface of the main body, a side surface of the main body, and a lateral line to which the dorsal outer surface of the main body and the side surface of the main body are connected. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2022 / 099352 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Generally, in conventional lures, the dorsal outer surface of the body and the side surfaces of the body are colored using different colors. For example, the dorsal outer surface of the body is colored using a first color, and the side surfaces of the body are colored using a second color different from the first color.

[0005] The lateral line is located between the outer surface of the dorsal side of the main body and the lateral surface of the main body. In order to prevent the lateral line from being decorated with the first color and the second color overlapping, a masking process is often performed on the lateral line. In this case, a separate process for the masking process is required, which increases the number of manufacturing processes.

[0006] Furthermore, if the dorsal outer surface of the main body and the sides of the main body are colored separately using the first and second colors without masking the lateral line, advanced coloring techniques are required.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a lure whose body can be easily colored. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a lure comprises a main body. The main body has a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a ridge portion. At least a portion of the first outer surface is colored a first color. The second outer surface is disposed adjacent to the first outer surface. At least a portion of the second outer surface is colored a second color different from the first color. The ridge portion is provided between the first outer surface and the second outer surface. Here, the first outer surface has a first connecting surface. The first connecting surface is connected to the ridge portion. In a cross section of the main body cut so as to intersect with the ridge portion, the first connecting surface is formed to be recessed inward of the main body.

[0009] In the lure according to the first aspect, the first outer surface has a first connecting surface. The first connecting surface is connected to the ridge portion. In the above cross section, the first connecting surface is formed so as to be recessed inward of the main body. With this configuration, when the first color is applied to the first outer surface, the first color paint moving from the first outer surface toward the ridge portion is guided away from the main body by the recessed first connecting surface. This prevents the first color from adhering to the ridge portion. In other words, the main body can be easily colored without using masking treatment before coloring or advanced coloring techniques.

[0010] With respect to a second aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first aspect may be configured as follows: The second outer surface has a second connecting surface. The second connecting surface is connected to the ridge portion. In a cross section of the main body cut so as to intersect with the ridge portion, the second connecting surface is formed to be recessed inward of the main body.

[0011] In the lure according to the second aspect, the second connecting surface is formed to be recessed inward into the main body in the cross section. With this configuration, when the second color is applied to the second outer surface, the second color paint moving from the second outer surface toward the ridgeline is guided away from the main body by the recessed second connecting surface. This prevents the second color from adhering to the ridgeline. In other words, the main body can be easily colored without using masking treatment before coloring or advanced coloring techniques.

[0012] With respect to a third aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first or second aspect may be configured as follows: the main body has a head at the front and a tail at the rear, and the ridge extends from the head toward the tail.

[0013] In the lure according to the third aspect, the ridge portion extends from the head to the tail, so that the body can be easily colored in the range from the head to the tail without using masking treatment before coloring or advanced coloring techniques.

[0014] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the third aspect may be configured as follows: the first outer surface forms an upper surface of the main body extending in the front-rear direction, and the second outer surface forms a side surface of the main body extending in the front-rear direction.

[0015] In the lure according to the fourth aspect, the ridge portion is provided between the upper surface of the main body and the side surface of the main body, which makes it possible to easily color the upper surface and the side surface of the main body without using a masking process before coloring or an advanced coloring technique.

[0016] With respect to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the third aspect may be configured as follows: the first outer surface forms a lower surface of the main body extending in the front-rear direction, and the second outer surface forms a side surface of the main body extending in the front-rear direction.

[0017] In the lure according to the fifth aspect, the ridge portion is provided between the underside of the main body and the side of the main body, which makes it possible to easily color the underside and side of the main body without using a masking process before coloring or an advanced coloring technique. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] In this embodiment, the lure according to the present invention will be described using the lure 1 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the lure 1 has a main body 3. The main body 3 has a head 3a at the front and a tail 3b at the rear. The outer shape of the main body 3 is formed in a streamlined shape that is long in one direction from the front to the rear.

[0021] In the lure 1, where a fishing line (not shown) is connected to the line eye 5, the direction in which the lure 1 moves as it is pulled by the fishing line is defined as "forward." The direction opposite to the direction in which the lure 1 moves as it is pulled by the fishing line is defined as "rearward."

[0022] The direction toward the water surface when lure 1 is moving forward in the water is determined as "up." The direction toward the water bottom when lure 1 is moving forward is defined as "down." "Left" is the left side when lure 1 is viewed from behind. "Right" is the right side when lure 1 is viewed from behind. The left-right direction intersects with the front-to-back direction. The left-to-right direction is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction and the up-to-down direction.

[0023] In this embodiment, the main body 3 is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane including the front-rear and up-down directions. Therefore, the configuration of the right side is substantially the same as the configuration of the left side. Therefore, a detailed description of the configuration of the right side will be omitted in this embodiment.

[0024] Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the omitted explanations by substituting "right" for "left" in this embodiment. The right-side components are marked with the symbol R. The right-side components marked with the symbol R are shown in parentheses in each drawing.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 3 has an upper surface 11 (an example of a first outer surface), left and right side surfaces 13L, 13R (an example of a second outer surface), a lower surface 15 (an example of a first outer surface), left and right upper ridge portions 17L, 17R (an example of a ridge portion), and left and right lower ridge portions 19L, 19R (an example of a ridge portion).

[0026] The top surface 11 extends in the front-rear direction and forms the top surface of the main body 3. At least a portion of the top surface 11 is colored with a first color. In this embodiment, the top surface 11 is entirely colored with the first color. The top surface 11 has a first connecting surface 21L (an example of a first connecting surface) on the upper left and a first connecting surface 21R (an example of a first connecting surface) on the upper right.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3A, the upper left first connecting surface 21L is connected to the upper left ridge portion 17L. More specifically, the upper left first connecting surface 21L is connected to the upper end of the upper left ridge portion 17L. In a cross section of the main body 3 cut so as to intersect with the upper left ridge portion 17L, the upper left first connecting surface 21L is formed so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3. More specifically, in a cross section of the main body 3 cut along a plane including the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the upper left first connecting surface 21L is formed in a recessed shape so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3 and extends in the front-rear direction.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the left side surface 13L extends in the front-rear direction and forms the left side surface of the main body 3. The left side surface 13L is disposed adjacent to the left end of the upper surface 11. At least a portion of the left side surface 13L is colored with a second color different from the first color. In this embodiment, the left side surface 13L is entirely colored with the second color. As shown in FIG. 2, the left side surface 13L has a second connecting surface 31L (an example of a second connecting surface) on the upper left and a second connecting surface 32L (an example of a second connecting surface) on the lower left.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, the upper left second connection surface 31L is connected to the upper left ridge portion 17L. Specifically, the upper left second connection surface 31L is connected to the lower end of the upper left ridge portion 17L. In a cross section of the main body 3 cut so as to intersect with the upper left ridge portion 17L, the upper left second connection surface 31L is formed so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3. Specifically, in a cross section of the main body 3 cut along a plane including the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the upper left second connection surface 31L is formed in a recessed shape so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3 and extends in the front-rear direction.

[0030] The lower left second connecting surface 32L is connected to the lower left ridgeline 19L. More specifically, the lower left second connecting surface 32L is connected to the upper end of the lower left ridgeline 19L. In a cross section of the main body 3 cut so as to intersect with the lower left ridgeline 19L, the lower left second connecting surface 32L is formed so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3. More specifically, in a cross section of the main body 3 cut along a plane including the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the lower left second connecting surface 32L is formed in a recessed shape so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3 and extends in the front-rear direction.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower surface 15 extends in the front-rear direction and forms the lower surface of the main body 3. At least a portion of the lower surface 15 is colored with a first color. In this embodiment, the entire lower surface 15 is colored with the first color. The lower surface 15 may be colored with a third color different from the first color, as long as the third color is different from the second color. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower surface 15 has a first connecting surface 41L (an example of a first connecting surface) on the lower left and a first connecting surface 41R (an example of a first connecting surface) on the lower right.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, the lower-left first connecting surface 41L is connected to the lower-left ridgeline portion 19L. More specifically, the lower-left first connecting surface 41L is connected to the lower end of the lower-left ridgeline portion 19L. In a cross section of the main body 3 cut so as to intersect with the lower-left ridgeline portion 19L, the lower-left first connecting surface 41L is formed so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3. More specifically, in a cross section of the main body 3 cut along a plane including the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the lower-left first connecting surface 41L is formed in a recessed shape so as to be recessed inward of the main body 3 and extends in the front-rear direction.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2 and 3A, the upper left ridge 17L is provided on the left side of the upper part of the main body 3. The upper left ridge 17L extends from the head 3a toward the tail 3b. In other words, the upper left ridge 17L extends in the front-to-rear direction. The upper left ridge 17L is provided between the upper left first connecting surface 21L and the upper left second connecting surface 31L.

[0034] As shown in Figures 2 and 3B, the lower left ridge 19L is provided on the left side of the lower part of the main body 3. The lower left ridge 19L extends from the head 3a toward the tail 3b. That is, the lower left ridge 19L extends in the front-to-rear direction. The lower left ridge 19L is provided between the lower left first connecting surface 41L and the lower left second connecting surface 32L.

[0035] As described above, the configuration of the right side is substantially the same as the configuration of the left side, so descriptions of the right side surface 13R including the upper right first connecting surface 21R, the lower right first connecting surface 41R, the second connecting surfaces 31R and 32R, the upper right ridge portion 17R, and the lower right ridge portion 19R are omitted and are written in parentheses in each figure.

[0036] In the lure 1 having the above configuration, the top surface 11, the bottom surface 15, and the left and right side surfaces 13L, 13R are each colored separately. Specifically, a first color of paint is sprayed onto the top surface 11 using a painting device such as a sprayer. At this time, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 3A, the first color of paint is guided away from the main body 3 by the first connecting surface 21L at the upper left of the top surface 11 and the first connecting surface 21R at the upper right of the top surface 11, respectively. This prevents the first color from adhering to the upper left ridgeline 17L and the upper right ridgeline 17R.

[0037] A first color of paint is sprayed onto underside 15 using a painting device such as a sprayer. At this time, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 3B, the first color of paint is guided separately in a direction away from main body 3 by first connecting surface 41L at the lower left of underside 15 and first connecting surface 41R at the lower right of underside 15. This prevents the first color from adhering to lower left ridgeline 19L and lower right ridgeline 19R.

[0038] Furthermore, a second color of paint is sprayed separately onto the left and right side surfaces 13L, 13R using a painting device such as a sprayer. For example, when the second color of paint is sprayed onto the left side surface 13L, the second color of paint is guided separately in a direction away from the main body 3 by the second connecting surface 31L at the upper left of the left side surface 13L and the second connecting surface 32L at the lower left of the left side surface 13L, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 3A and 3B. This prevents the second color from adhering to the upper left ridge line 17L and the lower left ridge line 19L.

[0039] Furthermore, when the second color paint is sprayed onto the right side surface 13R, the adhesion of the second color to the upper right ridge portion 17R and the lower right ridge portion 19R can be prevented, just as when the second color paint is sprayed onto the left side surface 13L.

[0040] In this way, by forming the first connecting surfaces 21L, 21R on the left and right of the upper surface 11, the first connecting surfaces 41L, 41R on the left and right of the lower surface 15, the second connecting surfaces 31L, 32L on the top and bottom of the left side surface 13L, and the second connecting surfaces 31R, 32R on the top and bottom of the right side surface 13R, the main body 3 can be easily colored without using masking treatment before coloring or advanced coloring techniques.
