Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fishing equipment, and more particularly to an environmentally friendly sinker capsule for fishing. [Background technology]
[0002] The sinker, also known as a lead sinker, is the main auxiliary fishing gear in a fishing assembly and is an important component for achieving effective fishing. Sinkers come in a wide range of weights, from lightweight 1-gram sinkers suitable for stillwater fishing in shallow waters, to medium-sized 10-gram or 50-gram sinkers suitable for deep water or strong currents in sea fishing, to larger sinkers weighing several hundred grams suitable for casting heavier baits farther. In fishing, sinkers fulfill three main roles. First, their high density allows them to carry the hook, bait, and line under the influence of gravity, overcoming air resistance and facilitating accurate casting, allowing the angler to cast the hook to the desired location. Second, they balance the fishing assembly and stabilize the water layer. The sinker adjusts its weight when placed in the water, thereby maintaining the fishing assembly in the desired water layer and preventing the hook and bait from shifting from the fishing point due to the impact of the water current. At the same time, they also create a buoyancy and force balance, laying the foundation for subsequent fish signal transmission. The third function is to assist in catching fish and increase the success rate. When a fish bites the bait, the weight of the sinker is converted into a downward pulling force, helping the hook to quickly penetrate the fish's lip and reducing the chance of the fish coming off the hook, which is particularly effective when dealing with active and aggressive predatory fish.
[0003] However, current technology allows lead sinkers to be flexibly cut to reduce weight and accommodate various floats, making them the mainstream sinker type and widely used in mainstream fishing methods such as platform fishing and competitive fishing. In actual use, most soft lead sinkers are made of low-hardness materials, which have the advantage of being easy to shape. However, when the lead is added, the broken pieces of lead are difficult to tightly wrap, making them prone to peeling off during the process of casting or immersion in water. When a fish is hooked on the bait and pulled, the momentary pulling force caused by the fish's struggle can easily cause the soft lead sinker to detach or peel off from the sinker body, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "sinker peeling." To solve the "sinker peeling" problem, high-hardness sinker pieces have been introduced. However, because of their high hardness, the hard sinker pieces cannot be directly peeled off by hand and separated into layers. Instead, anglers must use tools such as scissors or tweezers to pry open the sinker pieces, further increasing the difficulty of the operation.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes an eco-friendly sinker capsule for fishing to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0015] We clearly and completely describe the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention, and all other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work are also included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0016] As shown in Figures 1-8, the present invention provides the following technical means: An eco-friendly fishing sinker capsule comprises an upper sinker capsule cap 1 and a lower sinker capsule cap 2; the upper sinker capsule cap 1 and the lower sinker capsule cap 2 are arranged one above the other, and the outer walls of the upper sinker capsule cap 1 and the lower sinker capsule cap 2 are each provided with a diamond-shaped anti-slip protrusion; the ends of the upper sinker capsule cap 1 and the lower sinker capsule cap 2 are each provided with a silicone rubber line protection plug 4, and a line protection tube 5 for fixing and preventing movement is installed inside the upper sinker capsule cap 1 and the lower sinker capsule cap 2.
[0017] The diamond-shaped anti-slip convex patterns provided on the outer walls of both the upper cap part 1 of the weight capsule and the lower cap part 2 of the weight capsule effectively increase the friction between the angler's hand and the weight capsule, preventing slippage during installation, removal, or adjustment, and improving convenience of operation.
[0018] The upper cap part 1 of the weight capsule is connected to the lower cap part 2 of the weight capsule by a screw thread, and the upper cap part 1 and the lower cap part 2 of the weight capsule form the weight capsule body, and the thread protection tube 5 for preventing fixed movement is located inside the weight capsule body.
[0019] An attachment hole 3 is provided in the center of each end of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2, and the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 is composed of an end head 401 and a plug head 402, with a retaining ring groove 403 formed between the end head 401 and the plug head 402, and a through hole 404 is provided in the center of the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4.
[0020] Mounting holes 3 provided at the center of the ends of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2 are used to accomplish assembly and connection with a silicone rubber thread protection plug 4.
[0021] The side of the stopper head 402 is arc-shaped, and the stopper head 402 is inserted into the mounting hole 3, and two silicone rubber thread protection stoppers 4 are provided symmetrically on the left and right, and the retaining ring grooves 403 of the two silicone rubber thread protection stoppers 4 are arranged to fit into the end covers of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2, respectively.
[0022] The arc-shaped design of the plug head 402 not only makes it easier to insert the plug head 402 into the mounting hole 3, but also reduces wear and tear on the fishing line 7. Two silicone rubber line protection plugs 4 are provided symmetrically, and the retaining ring grooves 403 of the two silicone rubber line protection plugs 4 are respectively arranged to fit into the end caps of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2. The fit between the retaining ring grooves 403 and the end caps ensures that the silicone rubber line protection plugs 4 are stably fixed to the end of the weight capsule and will not fall off during use.
[0023] The bottom end of the fixed, anti-movement thread protection tube 5 is fixedly surrounded by a disk 501, and a soft rubber head 502 is provided at the top end of the fixed, anti-movement thread protection tube 5, the peripheral wall of the disk 501 fits snugly against the inner peripheral wall of the weight capsule lower cap part 2, the bottom wall of the disk 501 fits snugly against the stopper head 402 of one of the silicone rubber thread protection stoppers 4, and the end of the soft rubber head 502 fits snugly against the stopper head 402 of the other silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4.
[0024] The fixed anti-movement line protection tube 5 is installed inside the upper cap 1 and the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, and is also located inside the weight capsule body, with the peripheral wall of the disk 501 fitting snugly against the inner side wall of the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, and the bottom wall of the disk 501 fitting snugly against the stopper head 402 of one of the silicone rubber line protection stoppers 4. This installation, on the one hand, keeps the fishing line vertical and prevents the fixed anti-movement line protection tube 5 from moving left and right inside the weight capsule body, and prevents the fishing line 7 from being exposed inside the weight capsule body and being damaged by direct contact with broken pieces of the weight; on the other hand, it plays a sealing role, preventing water from entering and making the weight of the weight used to adjust the float inaccurate, and reducing water pollution, and also plays a role in supporting the weighted wire mass 6.
[0025] A fishing line 7 is passed through the fixed movement prevention thread protection tube 5, and the fishing line 7 passes through the through hole 404, and a stacked wire mass 6 is placed inside the weight capsule main body, which is composed of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2.
[0026] When lead or other sinkers are placed as weighting wire mass 6 inside the sinker capsule body consisting of the sinker capsule upper cap part 1 and the sinker capsule lower cap part 2, anglers can select weighting wire masses 6 of different weights according to their actual fishing needs, thereby meeting the weighting requirements for fishing under various water depths and water current conditions. When the fishing line 7 passes through the through holes 404 of the two silicone rubber line protection plugs 4 and the fixed movement prevention line protection tube 5 in sequence, the fixed movement prevention line protection tube 5 can protect the fishing line 7 and prevent wear and tear caused by direct friction between the fishing line 7 and the internal structure of the sinker capsule.
[0027] Weighting caps 8 are installed on the outside of the weight capsule upper cap portion 1 and the weight capsule lower cap portion 2, and two weighting caps 8 are arranged one above the other, and the two weighting caps 8 are interlocked with threads.The cap body made up of the two weighting caps 8 fits snugly against the outer wall of the weight capsule main body made up of the weight capsule upper cap portion 1 and the weight capsule lower cap portion 2, and a threading groove 801 is provided on the peripheral wall of the weighting caps 8 for the fishing line 7 to pass through.
[0028] The installation of the fishing line 7 passing through the threading groove 801 on the peripheral wall of the weighting cap 8 makes it easy to attach the weighting cap 8 to the outside of the weight capsule upper cap part 1 and the weight capsule lower cap part 2. If the added weighting mass 6 is insufficient in the space inside the weight capsule, it is possible to pass the fishing line 7 from the outside and add more weighting hollow bodies formed by combining two weighting caps 8 to the weight capsule.
[0029] Operating principle: The stopper head 402 of one silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 3 of the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, and the retaining ring groove 403 of the silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4 is fitted into the end cap of the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, thereby fixing the silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4 to the end of the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule. The fixed anti-movement thread protection tube 5 is placed inside the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, so that the peripheral wall of the disk 501 fits snugly against the inner peripheral wall of the lower cap 2 of the weight capsule, and the bottom wall of the disk 501 fits snugly against the stopper head 402 of the silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4, while ensuring that the bottom hole of the fixed anti-movement thread protection tube 5 corresponds to the position of the through hole 404 of the silicone rubber thread protection stopper 4. Next, the selected weighted yarn mass 6 is placed on the outside of the thread protection tube 5 for preventing fixed movement inside the weight capsule lower cap 2, and then the weight capsule upper cap 1 is screwed onto the weight capsule lower cap 2, and during the screwing process, the soft rubber head 502 at the tip of the thread protection tube 5 for preventing fixed movement inside the weight capsule upper cap 1 is aligned with the position of the mounting hole 3 at the end of the weight capsule upper cap 1. Finally, the plug head 402 of another silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 3 of the weight capsule upper cap 1, and the retaining ring groove 403 of the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 is fitted into the end cap of the weight capsule upper cap 1, thereby completing the assembly of the weight capsule as a whole. After assembly is complete, one end of the fishing line 7 is threaded through the through-hole 404 of the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 at the end of the sinker capsule's upper cap 1, the soft rubber head 502, the anti-movement line protection tube 5, and the through-hole 404 of the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 at the end of the sinker capsule's lower cap 2, allowing the fishing line 7 to smoothly pass through the entire sinker capsule. The anti-movement line protection tube 5 encases and protects the fishing line 7, preventing it from coming into direct contact with and rubbing against the sinker capsule's internal structure. During fishing, the lead wire mass 6 is stably positioned within the sinker capsule, preventing any broken lead from collapsing and maintaining the balance of the fishing lure assembly. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the upper and lower caps and the silicone rubber thread protection plug 4 prevents the lead wire mass 6 from coming loose even when a fish bites the hook and struggles, effectively preventing the sinker from coming loose. In addition, anglers only come into contact with the alloy weight capsule body and soft rubber parts during use, and do not need to come into direct contact with lead, reducing the risk of contact with the skin.Furthermore, if it is necessary to further increase the weight even after the weight capsule has been filled with the weighting mass 6, the fishing line 7 can be passed through the threading groove 801 on the side walls of the two weighting caps 8, and then the two weighting caps 8 can be screwed together to tighten them.At this time, the weighting cap body made up of the two weighting caps 8 will fit snugly onto the outer wall of the weight capsule, meeting the weighting requirements.
[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, and the appended claims and their equivalents define the scope of the present invention.
