Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line clip device for a fishing reel, and more particularly, to a fishing line clip device for a fishing reel for fixing the end portion of a fishing line wound around the fishing reel.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, fishing reels are used in many types of fishing, such as freshwater fishing, sea fishing, and casting fishing. The user can turn the handle of the fishing reel to wind up the line (fishing line) so that it is evenly aligned on the spool. However, if the end portion of the fishing line is not fixed in position with another device for storage, the fishing line may be wound into the spool or unravel from the spool and not be aligned. If the end portion of the fishing line is not located at the topmost or outermost end of the line, the line cannot be smoothly paid out, which is very inconvenient in the fishing operation. Usually, using a clip can prevent such inconvenience.

[0003] Prior art documents related to this include Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 0194980 (Prior Document 1), Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 0361073 (Prior Document 2), etc.

[0004] Prior Document 1 includes a ring into which a fishing hook can be inserted, a stretchable auxiliary band that is connected to one end of this ring and attached to one end of the band body to connect the ring and the band body, and a band body with a Magic Tape (registered trademark) adhesive surface attached to the entire upper surface, etc. Thereby, it is expected to maintain the fishing line in a tightened state and prevent it from unraveling, getting tangled, and twisting during the use of the reel.

[0005] Prior Document 2 fastens a fishing line fixing tool for fixing the fishing line to one side of a reel fishing rod on which the reel is installed, forms a protruding portion with a through hole through which the fishing line passes at the lower end of the semi-circular main body of the fishing line fixing tool, and fastens a spring and a pressing button to the bottom surface of the protruding portion and fixes them with a fixing plate. Since the fishing line is fixed by pressing the button, it can be easily used without another technique.

[0006] However, according to the prior art documents, when storing the fishing reel separately, it is not sufficient to prevent damage to the end of the fishing line and the level winder.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The present invention proposes a clip device for fixing the end portion of the fishing line of a fishing reel. The present invention is directed to a fishing line clip device used in the process of separating and storing the fishing reel from the fishing rod, but is not limited thereto. There are various reels for fishing reels, such as bait casting reels, spinning reels, twin-spool reels, and fly reels. The gist of the present invention is to fix the end portion of the fishing line wound around such a fishing reel while being located at the top of the spool.

[0018] FIG. 1 shows a spool, a level winder 11, a hole 13, a fishing line 15, etc. that constitute the bait casting reel 10. In the present invention, directions such as up and down, front and back are referred to based on the state where the fishing line 15 is engaged as shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] The main body member 20 according to the present invention combines a support base 21 and a bait base 24 to form a box-like structure with an open upper surface.

[0020] FIGS. 1 and 2 show a support base 21, a concave groove portion 22, a bait base 24, etc. that constitute the main body member 20. The main body member 20 has a structure in which a rear support base 21 and a front bait base 24 are combined. When the support base 21 and the bait base 24 are combined, a mounting groove with at least an open upper surface is formed. The concave groove portion 22 communicates with the mounting groove inside the support base 21 and is formed at approximately half the height.

[0021] According to the configuration of the present invention, the main body member 20 is formed of a resin material, includes a bait portion 25 on the front surface, and is characterized by being joined by ultrasonic welding.

[0022] In FIGS. 1 and 2, the support base 21 and the bait base 24 of the main body member 20 are joined in a state where other components are accommodated in the mounting groove. The bait portion 25 has a shape that protrudes integrally from the front surface of the bait base 24. An opening is formed from the front surface of the bait base 24 to the lower side of the bait portion 25. The support base 21 and the bait base 24 are preferably formed of a resin material having harmlessness to the human body and biodegradability. The joining of the support base 21 and the bait base 24 is preferably performed by ultrasonic welding rather than using another component such as a screw. Of course, forming irregularities at the joining portion of the support base 21 and the bait base 24 improves the increase in the bonding force.

[0023] Also, according to the present invention, a movable member 30 that is vertically movably accommodated in the main body member 20 is configured to engage the fishing line at the front surface.

[0024] In FIG. 1, a state where the movable member 30 is housed in the mounting groove of the main body member 20 is shown. The movable member 30 is also formed of the same resin material as the main body member 20, but a relatively soft material can also be applied to at least a part thereof. The movable member 30 is supported by the support base 21 and the tool bit base 24 so as to be vertically movable. The movable member 30 can engage with the fishing line 15 in cooperation with the tool bit portion 25 of the main body member 20.

[0025] According to the configuration of the present invention, the movable member 30 is provided with a tool bit portion 34 on the front surface, and is characterized in that a pad material 35 is supported on the tool bit portion 34.

[0026] In FIG. 2, the protrusion 32, the tool bit portion 34, the pad material 35, etc. constituting the movable member 30 are shown. The protrusion 32 protrudes from the rear surface of the movable member 30 and is slidably housed in the concave groove 22 of the support base 21. The concave groove portion 22 and the protrusion 32 guide the vertical movement of the movable member 30 while limiting its movement range. The tool bit portion 34 integrally protrudes from the front surface of the movable member 30 so as to face the tool bit portion 25 of the main body member 20. The pad material 35 is formed of a rubber material having a high friction coefficient and wear resistance, and is bonded to the tool bit base 24 so as to be in close contact with the tool bit portion 25. The pad material 35 may be formed in a curved surface so as to increase the gripping force for engaging the fishing line 15, and unevenness may be further added.

[0027] Also, according to the present invention, an elastic member 40 is sandwiched between the main body member 20 and the movable member 30.

[0028] In FIGS. 1 and 2, a state where the elastic member 40 is connected to the main body member 20 and the movable member 30 is shown. The elastic member 40 is housed in the housing groove 31 of the movable member 30 using a compression spring. The lower end of the elastic member 40 is in close contact with the main body member 20. When the movable member 30 is pushed, the elastic member 40 is elastically compressed, and when the pressure applied to the movable member 30 is released, the elastic member 40 returns to its original state.

[0029] According to the configuration of the present invention, the main body member 20 and the movable member 30 are characterized in that they are provided with stepped portions 27 and 37 that face each other in a male-female manner on the tool bit portions 25 and 34.

[0030] Figure 3 shows the stepped portions 27 and 37 formed on the main body member 20 and the movable member 30. The stepped portion 27 of the main body member 20 is formed to be recessed, and the stepped portion 37 of the movable member 30 is formed to bulge and protrude. The protruding height of the stepped portion 37 of the movable member 30 is maintained higher than that of the pad material 35. This prevents the fishing line 15 meshed between the cutting portion 25 and the pad material 35 from shifting forward due to an external force.

[0031] When storing the bait casting reel 10 as shown in Fig. 3(a), when pressing the upper surface of the movable member 30, the upper and lower cutting portions 25 and 34 open, so that the end portion of the fishing line 15 can be inserted. As shown in Fig. 3(b), when the pressing of the movable member 30 is released, the elastic member 40 causes the cutting portions 25 and 34 to tightly grip the fishing line 15.

[0032] In the conventional case, when using a clip made of a metal material, scratches are generated in the holes 13 of the level winder 11, etc., so that not only the fraying and winding of the fishing line are not smoothly performed, but there is also a high risk of the fishing line breaking during fishing.

[0033] As a modification of the present invention, the main body member 20 is further characterized by comprising a hanging portion for attaching and detaching to a fishing reel.

[0034] Although not shown, the main body member 20 can be provided with hanging portions for hanging at a plurality of locations on the fishing reel. When storing the bait casting reel 10 in the state of Fig. 3(b) or when a strong external force acts during movement, shaking of the clip device or loosening of the fishing line occurs. The hanging portion is formed in the shape of a groove meshing with the level winder 11 or the like, or is composed of another resin material ring to prevent unnecessary swinging of the clip device.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious to those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it can be said that such modifications or correction examples belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
