Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rod-shaped fishing float having a fish-striking member connected to its upper end via an elastic member and a weight built into its lower end. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, rod floats that stand on the water surface as shown in Patent Document 1 have become mainstream as floats used for fishing. These rod floats are widely used because they are highly visible on the water surface regardless of the fishing spot or fishing method. Among such floats, in particular, fishing floats that have a long, bulging shape with a fish-sensing member at the top end of the float body and a built-in weight at the bottom end as shown in Patent Document 1 have been used conventionally.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-169184 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The buoyancy of the conventional floats as described above is indicated on the float body. However, when the float body is made of natural materials such as wood, the weight varies depending on the part of the wood or other raw material used for the float body, even if the products are the same size, so it is difficult to make everything, such as weight and density, strictly the same as with artificial materials. Therefore, even if the buoyancy is indicated on the body of such a float made of natural materials, it may be different from the actual buoyancy, which may cause problems when fishing, as the buoyancy indicated on the body may be different from the actual buoyancy. In such cases, since the weight of the conventional fishing float is fixed and embedded inside the float body, it is difficult to adjust the weight of the weight later.

[0005] Furthermore, when the fish-striking member is fixed to the conventional float body via an elastic member so that it is difficult to separate, the elastic member connecting the float body and the fish-striking member may bend or develop a kink depending on the storage method, making it difficult to use the float body and the fish-striking member straight again. Furthermore, when the fish-striking member is long, it is easy for the fish-striking member to bend or break. Therefore, when the above-mentioned situation occurs, a new fishing float must be prepared, which is inefficient and expensive.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a fishing float which allows the weight of the sinker attached to the float body to be adjusted and which does not require the entire float to be replaced even if the fish-striking member is bent. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention has an object to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the invention of claim 1 relates to a fishing float comprising a rod-shaped float body with a thread passage at its lower end, and a hollow, long fish-striking member the lower end of which is detachably connected to the upper end of the float body, the fishing float being configured such that the lower end of a cylindrical elastic member is attached to the upper end of the float body, and the lower end of the fish-striking member is detachably fitted and connected to the upper end of the elastic member, the upper end of the float body being provided with a wire-shaped member whose upper end protrudes above the upper end of the elastic member with a gap remaining between it and the inner circumferential surface of the elastic member, and the fish-striking member is fitted into the gap between the elastic member and the wire-shaped member with the wire-shaped member fitted into the lower end of the fish-striking member, thereby achieving the detachable fitting connection. In the float body, the lower end of a pipe member is embedded with its upper end protruding above the upper end of the float body, the elastic member is attached to the float body by having its lower end fitted externally onto the upper end of the pipe member protruding from the float body, and the wire-like member has its lower end fitted into the pipe member. This is a fishing float characterized by the above. The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the float body is provided with a fixed weight built into the lower end and an additional weight inserted into the pipe member, the additional weight being a wire-like member. 1 The fishing float described is as follows. The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the elastic member has a truncated cone-shaped cylinder shape with an outer diameter on the upper end side being narrower. OR 2 This is the fishing float described in the section.

[0008] Effect of the Invention

[0009] With the above-mentioned configuration, when a tubular fish-striking member is used, for example, the wire-like additional weight protruding from the pipe member not only makes it easier to guide the fish-striking member through the hollow portion of the fish-striking member, but also makes it possible to firmly attach the fish-striking member to the float body without distortion or wobbling caused by the elastic member even after it is attached to the float body. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate wobbling of the fish-striking member. Therefore, even if the fish-striking member is long and thin, it does not become unstable when attached to the float body, and can be connected straight.

[0010] In addition, a pipe member is embedded in the upper end side of the float body, with the tip side of this pipe member protruding outward from the upper end of the float body, and additional adjustment weights can be inserted inside the pipe member.Therefore, even if it is difficult to achieve the buoyancy displayed on the float body using only the weights built into the float body, it is possible to achieve a buoyancy that is faithful to the buoyancy displayed on the float body by later inserting the additional adjustment weight into the pipe member of the float body. In addition, by inserting an additional weight for adjustment into the pipe member provided at the upper end of the float body as described above, weights are located not only at the lower end of the float body but also above the float body. Therefore, compared to conventional products that have weights built in only at the lower end of the float body, the center of gravity of the float body is dispersed, making it possible to suppress shaking caused by waves and to stably position the float body on the water surface. Therefore, by using the fishing float of the present invention, anglers can easily see fish bites, and it is expected that they will catch more fish.

[0011] The fish-striking member of the present invention can be fixed to an elastic member around the pipe member protruding from the upper end of the float body as a core, and as a result, the base end of the fish-striking member can be detachably connected to the elastic member. By using an elastic member as described above, the connection between the float body and the fish-striking member becomes flexible and less likely to bend. On the other hand, even if the fish-striking member is bent by being stepped on, there is no need to replace the entire float, and it is possible to restore it to its original state by replacing only the bent fish-striking member with a new one. Therefore, the same float body can be used for a long period of time, which is efficient and economical, and it is also possible to select fish-striking members of various lengths and colors according to the purpose. The elastic member also plays a role in waterproofing the fish-striking member. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway cross-sectional view of a float body showing a reference example of the present invention. [Diagram 2] Assembly concept diagram for reference example. [Diagram 3] FIG. [Figure 4] 1 is a partially cutaway cross-sectional view of a float body showing an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 5] FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. [Figure 6] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] A reference example of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. (1) is a float body, which is a long, spindle-shaped rod. As shown in Figure 1, this float body (1) has a ring-shaped threading part (2) at its lower end, and a fixed weight (3) is built into the inside of the lower end side of the float body (1) along its axial center.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, a pipe member (4) is embedded in the upper end of the float body (1) in the axial direction, and the tip (5) of this pipe member (4) is arranged to protrude outward from the upper end (6) of the float body (1). An additional weight (7) is inserted inside this pipe member (4) as shown in Fig. 1.

[0015] In this way, by making it possible to insert the additional weight (7) inside the pipe member (4) attached to the float body (1), even if it is difficult to achieve the buoyancy indicated on the float body (1) using only the fixed weight (3) built into the float body (1), it is possible to reliably obtain the buoyancy indicated on the float body (1) by later inserting the additional weight (7) for adjustment into the pipe member (4) of the float body (1). Therefore, problems with the accuracy of the buoyancy, as with conventional products, do not occur, and the product can be used with confidence.

[0016] Furthermore, by inserting the additional weight (7) for adjustment into the pipe member (4) provided on the upper end side of the float body (1) as described above, the weight is located not only on the lower end side of the float body (1) but also on the upper end side of the float body (1), so the center of gravity of the float is more stable than in the conventional product in which the weight is built only on the lower end side of the float body (1). Therefore, when the float of this reference example is used for fishing, it is possible to reduce wobbling caused by waves and the fishing float can be placed in a stable state on the water surface, making it easier for the angler using the fishing float to visually check for fish bites.

[0017] 2 and 3, one end (12) of a cylindrical elastic member (8) is provided at the tip (5) of the pipe member (4). The elastic member (8) is made of a flexible material such as rubber or urethane. The other end (13) of the elastic member (8) is connected to a long and slender fish-striking member (10) with a hollow interior, as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the base end (11) of the fish-striking member (10) is detachably connected to the other end (13) of the elastic member (8), and the one end (12) of the elastic member (8) is fixedly arranged so as not to be detached from the tip (5) of the pipe member (4). This completes the fishing float of this embodiment.

[0018] As described above, by making the fish-striking member (10) detachably connectable to the float body (1) via the elastic member (8), even if the fish-striking member (10) is bent while fishing with the fishing float of this reference example, it is not necessary to replace the entire float, and only the bent fish-striking member (10) can be replaced with a new one to restore it to its original state, so that the same float body (1) can be used for a long period of time, which is both efficient and economical.

[0019] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Reference numeral (31) denotes a float body, which is a long, thin rod-like body with a bulge at the bottom. As shown in Figure 4, a ring-shaped threading portion (32) protrudes from the bottom end of the float body (31), and a fixed weight (33) is built into the bottom end of the float body (31) along its axis. A cylindrical pipe member (34) is provided on the top end (36) of the float body (31).

[0020] That is, as shown in Fig. 5, a pipe member (34) is embedded along the axis of the upper end of the float body (31), and a tip (35) of this pipe member (34) is provided so as to protrude outward from an upper end (36) of the float body (31). And, as shown in Fig. 5, a wire-shaped additional weight (37) is inserted inside this pipe member (34).

[0021] In this way, by making it possible to place the additional weight (37) inside the pipe member (34) attached to the float body (31), even if it is difficult to reliably obtain the buoyancy indicated on the float body (31) using only the fixed weight (33) built into the float body (31), it is possible to realize the buoyancy indicated on the float body (31) by later inserting the additional weight (37) for adjustment into the pipe member (34) of the float body (31). Therefore, problems with the accuracy of buoyancy, as with conventional products, are less likely to occur, allowing anglers to use the fishing float of this embodiment with confidence.

[0022] Furthermore, by inserting the additional weights (37) for adjustment in this manner, weights are located not only at the bottom end of the float body (31) but also at the top end of the float body (31), so compared to conventional products in which weights are built in only at the bottom end of the float body (31), the center of gravity of the float is dispersed, making it possible to suppress swaying caused by waves. Therefore, when a fishing float equipped with the float body (31) of this embodiment is used, it is possible to reduce swaying caused by waves and the float can be placed stably on the water surface, making it easier for the angler to visually check for a bite (fish bite).

[0023] In this embodiment, unlike the above-described reference example, a wire-shaped member (wire-shaped member) is used as the additional weight (37). As shown in Fig. 5, the additional weight (37) is inserted into the upper end of the pipe member (34), and the wire weight is fixed to the pipe member (34) with an adhesive (not shown) so that the additional weight (37) is located at the upper end of the pipe member (34). As shown in Fig. 5, the tip (upper end) (38) of the additional weight (37) is positioned so that it protrudes outward (upward) from the other end (upper end) (42) of the elastic member (40) provided on the pipe member (34) described below, with a gap S between the tip (upper end) (38) and the inner peripheral surface of the elastic member (40).

[0024] That is, one end (lower end) (41) of an elastic member (40) in the shape of a truncated cone cylinder with a thinner outer diameter at the upper end is connected to the tip (upper end) (35) of the pipe member (34) as shown in Fig. 5. The elastic member (40) is made of a flexible material such as rubber or urethane. The other end (upper end) (42) of the elastic member (40) can be connected to a slender tubular fish striking member (43) as shown in Fig. 6. Here, as described above, the tip (upper end) (38) of the wire-shaped additional weight (37) is fixedly disposed on the other end (upper end) (42) of the elastic member (40) so as to protrude outward (upper) from the elastic member (40).

[0025] Therefore, when attaching the fish striking member (43) to the elastic member (40), as shown in Figure 6, the additional weight (37) is fitted from the upper end into the lower end of the hollow fish striking member (43), while the fish striking member (43) is fitted into the gap S between the elastic member (40) and the additional weight (37), thereby making it possible to connect and dispose the base end (lower end) (44) of the fish striking member (43) to the other end (upper end) (42) of the elastic member (40). Therefore, even a beginner can connect the long and slender fish striking member (43) straight to the elastic member (40) along the additional weight (37) and in the same straight line as the float body (31).

[0026] In the above reference example, the base end (11) of the fish-sounding member (10) is removably connected to the other end (13) of the elastic member (8), and one end (12) of the elastic member (8) is fixed non-detachably to the tip (5) of the pipe member (4). In the present embodiment, too, one end (lower end) (41) of the elastic member (40) is fixed to the pipe member (34) so ​​that it is difficult to detach, and the base end (lower end) (44) of the fish-sounding member (43) can be removably connected to the other end (upper end) (42) of the elastic member (40).

[0027] Furthermore, as described above, the fish-striking member (43) in this embodiment can be freely detachably connected to the float body (31) via the elastic member (40). Therefore, even if the fish-striking member (43) is bent during actual use, there is no need to replace the entire float, and it can be restored to its original state by simply replacing the bent fish-striking member (43) with a new one. Therefore, the same float body (31) can be used for a long period of time, which is both efficient and economical.
