Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to squid horns, a type of artificial bait used in squid fishing. [Background technology]

[0002] Various squid horns of this type have been proposed in the past.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a squid horn in which a plurality of hooks are wound in an umbrella shape with wire around the periphery of the shaft (FIGS. 1 to 4). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 3-95766 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, since the needles and wires of these conventional squid horns are exposed, squid ink tends to adhere to the needles and wires.

[0006] Squid horns that have squid ink on them will not react well to the squid, so every time squid ink gets on them, it is necessary to use a brush to remove the squid ink that has gotten into the gaps in the needle or wire and stuck to them.

[0007] Furthermore, conventional hand-wound needles require a lot of work and poor productivity, as the needle is fixed to the periphery of the shaft with a jig and then wound with nylon thread or other wire to prevent loosening.

[0008] Furthermore, in the past, squid horns were made by first creating a cylindrical needle using a metal pipe, which was then fitted and glued onto the periphery of the shaft. However, the inner diameter of the needle is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft, and the needle is exposed to the outside of the shaft, which not only makes it easier for squid ink to adhere to it, but also causes the problem that the needle itself is large.

[0009] The present invention was made based on the above problem, and its purpose is to provide squid horns with needles embedded inside the main body, which can prevent the squid horns from adhering as much as possible. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the squid horn of the present invention comprises a main body having a thread attachment portion at one end for attaching a thread, a plurality of hook-shaped needles attached in an umbrella shape to the other end of the main body, and a fixing member for fixing the needles to the main body, the main body having a cylindrical recess at the other end, the needles having a base fixed to the main body and a needle tip folded back from the base, the base being inserted into the recess and fixed within the recess by the fixing member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the squid horns of the present invention, by embedding the umbrella-shaped needles themselves inside the body, it is possible to prevent the attachment of the squid horns as much as possible. Also, by embedding the umbrella-shaped needles inside the body, it is possible to prevent the rings that bundle the needles and the needle material from being exposed to the outside, thereby reducing the squid's wariness. Furthermore, by coloring the components (screws, epoxy resin adhesive, etc.) used to embed the umbrella-shaped needles inside the body and making these components visible inside the body, it is possible to make the body various colors, which will attract the interest of the squid and draw them to the squid horns.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] First Embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a squid horn according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, this squid horn 1 has a long, thin main body 2, and one end of this main body 2 is formed with a line attachment hole (line attachment portion) 3 for attaching a fishing line (not shown).

[0016] At the other end of the main body 2, a needle body 4, in which a plurality of needles 4a are bundled in an umbrella shape, is fixed to the main body 2 with adhesive 5.

[0017] That is, a cylindrical recess 6 recessed toward one end in the longitudinal direction is formed on the other end side of the main body 2. The main body 2 also has an internal space 10 with the recess 6 as its opening end.

[0018] The main body 2 is formed of a material such that the internal space 10 can be seen from the outside of the squid horn 1, such as glass, metal, plastic (biodegradable plastic), wood, or the like.

[0019] The needle body 4 has a base 7 fixed to the main body 2, and a needle tip 8 folded back from the base 7. The base 7 has an insertion hole 7a passing therethrough.

[0020] As shown in Figures 5 to 8, the base 7 is inserted into the inner surface of the recess 6 so that the base end portions of the needles 4a are arranged in a circular ring shape, and is embedded and fixed with an adhesive 9 made of epoxy resin or the like.

[0021] As shown in Figure 9, when the base 7 of the needle body 4 is inserted into the recess 6 of the main body 2, the insertion hole 7a of the base 7 and the internal space 10 within the main body 2 are connected to each other, and adhesive 5 made of epoxy resin or the like can be poured into the internal space 10 through the insertion hole 7a of the base 7, thereby fixing the base 7 of the needle body 4 in an embedded state within the main body 2.

[0022] In this way, by embedding the umbrella-shaped needle body 4 within the main body 2, the ring that binds the needles and the material of the needles are prevented from being exposed to the outside, and the wariness of the squid can be reduced. Also, by coloring the material used to embed the umbrella-shaped needle body 4 within the main body 2, i.e., the adhesive 5 made of epoxy resin, in shades such as red, blue, or yellow, the colored adhesive 5 can be seen through the main body 2, attracting the interest of the squid that will be the prey (target for capture) and drawing them to the squid horns 1, and good catches can be expected.

[0023] Furthermore, although not shown, an attractant that will attract the interest of the squid that will be the prey (target for capture) may be placed in addition to the colored adhesive 9 in the internal space 10 of the squid horn 1. It is preferable that the attractant be colored a different color from the adhesive 5 or have shiny glitter, thereby further attracting the interest of the squid.

[0024] According to the above configuration, the base 7 of the needle body 4 is housed in the recess 6 of the main body 2, and only the tip 8 is exposed to the outside of the main body 2, and furthermore, since no wire is used to fix the needle body 4, adhesion of the squid horns 1 can be prevented as much as possible.

[0025] Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0026] In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the needle body 4 is fixed to the main body 2 by a screw member (fixing member) 11.

[0027] That is, a female screw 13 is formed in a communication portion 12 between the recess 6 of the main body 2 and the internal space 10 .

[0028] The screw member 11 also has a head 14, a shaft 15 connected to the head 14, and a male screw 16 formed at the tip of the shaft 15, with the male screw 16 threadedly engaging with the female screw 13, the shaft 15 pressing the base 7 of the needle body 4 against the inner wall of the recess 6, and the head 14 pressing the folded portion 17 of the needle body 4 toward the back of the recess 6.

[0029] Furthermore, the other end of the main body 2 is formed with a groove 18 into which the folded portion 17 of the needle body 4 fits.

[0030] With this configuration, not only can the adhesion of the squid horns 1 be prevented as much as possible, but also the needle body 4 can be attached, detached, and replaced.

[0031] Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0032] In this third embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 to 15, after the adhesive 5 is injected into the recess 6, a press-in member (fixing member) 19 such as an elastic plug is pressed into the inside of the base 7 of the needle body 4, thereby fixing the base 7 within the recess 6.

[0033] With this configuration, not only can adhesion of the squid horns 1 be prevented as much as possible, but also the fixation of the adhesive 5 can be reinforced by the press-fit member 19.

[0034] The needle body 4 may be configured so that the base 7 is fixed only by the press-fit member 19 without using the adhesive 5 .

[0035] The disclosure of the present invention described above can be summarized at least as follows.

[0036] In other words, the squid horn of the present invention comprises a main body having a thread attachment portion at one end for attaching a thread, an umbrella-shaped needle body having multiple hook-shaped needles attached to the other end of the main body, and a fixing member for fixing the needles to the main body, wherein the main body has a cylindrical recess at the other end, and the needle body has a base fixed to the main body and a needle tip folded back from the base, and the base is inserted into the recess and fixed within the recess by the fixing member.

[0037] (1) The main body has an internal space with the recess as an opening end, and the base of the needle body has an insertion hole passing through it, and when the base is inserted into the recess, the insertion hole and the internal space are connected.
