Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In conventional haenawa fishing, when winding up (lifting the rope) the thrown haenawa, the branch ropes are removed from the main rope. The branch ropes removed from the main rope are each coiled up and then a part of the coil is tied with a rope so that the coil does not come loose. The coiled branch ropes are stored in a cage by stacking them flat. When attaching the branch ropes to the main rope again and dropping them into the ocean (throwing the rope), it is necessary to take out the branch ropes stacked flat in the cage one by one and untie the rope binding.

[0005] For example, in a tuna haenawa fishing boat, about 2500 to 3000 branch ropes are used. At this time, the work of tying the branch ropes with a rope when lifting the rope and untying the binding when throwing the rope is a burden on the operator. Therefore, there are problems in reducing the labor of the operator, improving the fishery management by reducing the number of personnel, and solving the shortage of crew members.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a branch rope conveying and storing device and a branch rope hanging mechanism that can save labor and simplify the work of throwing and lifting ropes in fly fishing, particularly the work related to the conveyance and storage of branch ropes.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. The branch rope conveying and storing device according to the present invention is a branch rope conveying and storing device for conveying and storing branch ropes provided in a fishing boat using fly fishing. It includes a guide rail arranged on the fishing boat so as to circulate between a branch rope winding area on the bow side of the fishing boat and a rope throwing work area on the stern side of the fishing boat, a moving mechanism having a plurality of hanging parts and movably attached along the guide rail, and a branch rope holding part capable of individually holding a part of the coiled branch rope in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil shape, and a plurality of branch rope hanging mechanisms suspended from the hanging parts of the moving mechanism.

[0008] According to this invention, it has a branch rope holding part capable of individually holding a part of the coiled branch rope in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil shape. Thereby, by simply arranging the branch rope in the branch rope holding part, the coiled branch ropes can be individually held so as not to come apart. Therefore, the binding work with a rope or the like for storing the branch rope in a basket or the like during rope lifting can be omitted. Further, the branch rope holding part is fixed so as to sandwich the branch rope. Therefore, the branch rope can be appropriately held against the rocking of the ship.

[0009] Furthermore, it has a moving mechanism having a plurality of suspension parts and being movably attached along a guide rail. Thereby, a plurality of branch ropes held by the branch rope holding part can be moved, that is, conveyed, along the guide rail from the branch rope winding place on the bow side of the fishing boat to the rope throwing work place on the stern side. Therefore, operations such as storing the branch ropes in a basket or the like during rope hauling and taking out the branch ropes transported to the stern side from the basket or the like can be omitted. Furthermore, when throwing the rope, the branch rope suspended at the rope throwing work place can be directly taken out from the branch rope holding part. Thereby, the release operation of untying the binding of the branch rope taken out from a basket or the like during rope throwing can be omitted.

[0010] Also, the guide rail is arranged to circulate between the branch rope winding place on the bow side of the fishing boat and the rope throwing work place on the stern side of the fishing boat. Thereby, a plurality of held and suspended branch ropes can be circulated along the guide rail. Therefore, it is possible to combine the conveyance and storage of the branch ropes. In this way, by providing a device that combines the conventional conveyance and storage of branch ropes in a fishing boat using a fly net, it is possible to achieve labor reduction and labor saving in the rope throwing and rope hauling operations, particularly in the operations related to the conveyance and storage of branch ropes, in a fishing boat using a fly net.

[0011] Also, the branch rope holding part may hold the branch rope in a state where the axial direction faces the horizontal direction.

[0012] According to this invention, the branch rope holding part holds the branch rope in a state where the axial direction faces the horizontal direction. That is, the branch rope wound in a coil shape is placed vertically. Thereby, the space required for conveying or storing the branch rope can be reduced.

[0013] Also, the branch rope holding part may have a sandwiching part that sandwiches a part of the coil shape from the axial direction of the coil shape and a hooking part that hooks the upper part of the branch rope.

[0014] According to the present invention, the branch rope holding portion has a clamping portion for clamping the branch rope and a hooking portion for hooking the upper portion of the branch rope. By holding the upper portion with the hooking portion in addition to clamping the branch rope, the branch rope can be held more securely.

[0015] Further, the clamping portion of the branch rope holding portion may be a storage bag that stores the lower portion of the branch rope in a state where the upper end of the branch rope is hooked by the hooking portion.

[0016] According to the present invention, the clamping portion is a storage bag that stores the lower portion of the branch rope in a state where the upper end of the branch rope is hooked by the hooking portion. Thereby, it is possible to prevent wind or the like from directly hitting the held branch rope. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the held branch rope from coming apart due to wind or the like, and the branch rope can be held more securely.

[0017] Further, the branch rope holding portion may have the clamping portion as the hooking portion, and the clamping portion may include a large-diameter frame and a small-diameter frame arranged facing the large-diameter frame.

[0018] According to the present invention, the clamping portion is the hooking portion. That is, the roles of the clamping portion and the hooking portion are ensured by one member. Further, the clamping portion includes a large-diameter frame and a small-diameter frame arranged facing the large-diameter frame. Thereby, the branch rope can be held securely with a small configuration.

[0019] Further, the branch rope suspension mechanism may have two of the branch rope holding portions arranged in a pair to form a set of the branch rope holding portions, and a plurality of sets of the branch rope holding portions may be arranged vertically.

[0020] According to the present invention, the branch rope holding portions are arranged in a pair to form a set of branch rope holding portions, and a plurality of sets of branch rope holding portions are arranged vertically. Thereby, a plurality of branch ropes can be held in a smaller space. Therefore, it can contribute to space saving on the ship.

[0021] In addition, a collision prevention plate may be provided between the branch rope hanging mechanism suspended on the forward path side of the guide rail from the branch rope winding area to the throwing rope work area and the branch rope hanging mechanism suspended on the return path side of the guide rail from the throwing rope work area to the branch rope winding area.

[0022] According to the present invention, a collision prevention plate is provided between the branch rope hanging mechanisms on the forward path side and the return path side. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the branch rope hanging mechanisms from colliding with each other or the branch ropes from colliding due to the rocking of the ship or the rocking of the branch rope hanging mechanism caused by wind or the like.

[0023] In addition, the fishing boat may be provided with a passage through which an operator can pass adjacent to the guide rail, and a second collision prevention plate provided between the guide rail and the passage.

[0024] According to the present invention, a second collision prevention plate provided between the guide rail and the passage is provided. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the branch rope hanging mechanism or the branch rope from coming into contact with an operator passing through the passage due to the rocking of the ship or the rocking of the branch rope hanging mechanism caused by wind or the like.

[0025] In addition, the guide rail may be arranged to extend from the branch rope winding area arranged on the bow side of the fishing boat to the other side of the ship and bend, and reach the throwing rope work area on the stern side of the fishing boat along the other side of the ship, which is arranged closer to the bow side than the side door provided on one side of the fishing boat.

[0026] According to the present invention, the guide rail is arranged to extend from the branch rope winding area arranged on the bow side of the fishing boat to the other side of the ship and bend, and reach the throwing rope work area on the stern side of the fishing boat along the other side of the ship, which is arranged closer to the bow side than the side door provided on one side of the fishing boat. Thereby, it is possible to eliminate the need to manually carry the branch rope from the branch rope winding area near the side door on one side of the ship to the other side of the ship and further to the throwing rope work area on the stern side. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the number of personnel and labor required for the lifting rope operation.

[0027] In addition, the guide rail may pass through the warehouse of the fishing boat.

[0028] According to the present invention, the guide rail passes through the warehouse of the fishing boat. Thus, when not using the branch rope during movement, the branch rope can be stored in this warehouse together with the branch rope suspension mechanism. Therefore, the storage of the branch rope can be made efficient.

[0029] Further, in a fishing boat using a fly fishing line, the branch rope suspension mechanism according to the present invention includes a guide rail arranged on the ship so as to circulate between the branch rope winding area on the bow side and the casting operation area on the stern side, and a plurality of suspension parts. In the branch rope conveyance and storage device for conveying and storing the branch rope provided in the fly fishing line, there is provided a plurality of branch rope suspension mechanisms, each having a branch rope holding part capable of individually holding a part of the branch rope wound in a coil shape in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil shape, and being suspended from each suspension part of the moving mechanism.

[0030] According to the present invention, there is provided a branch rope holding part capable of individually holding a part of the branch rope wound in a coil shape in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil shape, and the branch rope holding part is suspended from each suspension part of the moving mechanism. By sandwiching the branch rope, it is possible to prevent the branch rope from coming apart during transportation. Therefore, the binding work using a rope or the like for storing the branch rope in a basket or the like during rope raising can be omitted. Further, since the branch rope holding part is fixed so as to sandwich the branch rope, the branch rope can be appropriately held against the rocking of the ship. Furthermore, by being suspended from the suspension part of the moving mechanism, the transportation can be facilitated. As a result, it is possible to achieve labor saving and labor reduction in the casting and rope raising operations in a fishing boat using a fly fishing line, particularly in the operations related to the conveyance and storage of the branch rope.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0033] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a branch rope conveying and storing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The branch rope conveying and storing device 100 is provided on a fishing boat 300 that uses haenawa 200. As shown in FIG. 1, the haenawa 200 includes a main rope 210, branch ropes 220, floating ropes 230, floats 240, and buoys 250. The main rope 210 is a rope that extends along the water surface on the ocean. The total length of the main rope 210 is, for example, 150 km. A plurality of branch ropes 220 and floating ropes 230 are attached to the main rope 210 at intervals.

[0034] A plurality of branch ropes 220 are provided at intervals along the main rope 210. The interval is, for example, 40 m. The branch ropes 220 extend in the water depth direction. The length of the branch rope 220 is, for example, 40 m. At one end of the branch rope 220, a snap for attaching the branch rope 220 to the main rope 210 is provided. Thereby, the branch rope 220 is attached when the main rope 210 is paid out onto the ocean surface and then dropped (thrown). At the other end of the branch rope 220, a known fishing hook is attached. When throwing the rope, by attaching bait to this fishing hook, it attracts the fishing target M including tuna and the like.

[0035] A plurality of floating ropes 230 are provided at intervals along the main rope 210. The interval is, for example, about 600 m to 700 m. The floating ropes 230 are used to connect the main rope 210 and the floats 240. At one end of the floating rope 230, a snap is provided in the same manner as the branch rope 220, and thereby it is attached to the main rope 210. At the other end of the floating rope 230, a float 240 is attached.

[0036] The float 240 is a known one having a role of holding the main rope 210 so that it does not sink into the water. As described above, the float 240 is attached to the main rope 210 by the floating rope 230. The buoy 250 is attached to the main rope 210 via the floating rope 230 in the same manner as the float 240. The buoy 250 is, for example, a known radio buoy that transmits position information. Alternatively, it may be a light that serves as a landmark by emitting light. Thereby, when the main rope 210 breaks on the ocean surface, the buoy 250 serves as a landmark for recovering the main rope 210. The buoy 250 is attached to the floating rope 230 at intervals of, for example, about 14 km.

[0037] The fishing boat 300 is a known boat used for, for example, offshore fishing. The above-mentioned haenawa 200 is thrown from the stern side of the fishing boat 300 sailing on the ocean. The fishing boat 300 includes at least a branch rope winding area 310, a rope throwing work area 320, and a passage 330. The branch line winding area 310 is a space located on the bow side of the fishing boat 300. In the branch line winding area 310, an operation of lifting the thrown fishing line 200 from the ocean (lifting the line) is performed. As shown in FIG. 2, the branch line winding area 310 is provided with a line hoist 311, a bran reel 312, and a floating line winder 313.

[0038] The line hoist 311 is a machine for winding up the main line 210. The bran reel 312 is a machine for collecting the branch line 220 or the floating line 230 in a coiled state. The floating line winder 313 is a machine for winding up the floating line 230. During the line lifting operation, first, the main line 210 is wound up by the line hoist 311. The operator O removes the branch line 220 and the floating line 230 attached with a snap from the wound-up main line 210. After the fishing target M lifted from the side door 300G is removed from the fishing hook, the branch line 220 removed from the main line 210 is collected in a coiled state by the bran reel 312. The floating line 230 with the float 240 or the buoy 250 attached is first wound up by the floating line winder 313. The floating line 230 removed from the main line 210 is wound up by the bran reel 312 after removing the float 240 or the buoy 250.

[0039] The line throwing area 320 is a space located on the stern side of the fishing boat 300. In the line throwing area 320, the line throwing operation is performed. Specifically, the main line 210 is attached with a branch line 220 to which bait is attached and a floating line 230 to which a float 240 or a buoy 250 is attached, and then dropped into the ocean. In this way, when fishing using the fishing line 200, the line is thrown from the line throwing area 320 on the stern side. The thrown fishing line 200 is lifted from the branch line winding area 310 on the bow side. The passage 330 is provided for the operator to move back and forth from the bow side to the stern side. The passage 330 is provided, for example, along the side of the fishing boat 300.

[0040] In offshore fishing, the operations of throwing and lifting the line are repeated. The branch line conveyance and storage device 100 according to the present invention is used to efficiently move the branch line 220 from the bow side to the stern side. The branch rope conveying and storing device 100 conveys and stores the branch rope 220 provided in the fly rope 200. The branch rope conveying and storing device 100 includes a guide rail 10, a moving mechanism 20, and a branch rope hanging mechanism 30.

[0041] The guide rail 10 is arranged on the fishing boat 300 so as to circulate between the branch rope winding place 310 on the bow side of the fishing boat 300 and the throwing rope working place 320 on the stern side of the fishing boat 300. That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the guide rail 10 is provided with an outward path side of the guide rail 10 from the branch rope winding place 310 to the throwing rope working place 320 and a return path side of the guide rail 10 from the throwing rope working place 320 to the branch rope winding place 310. In the present embodiment, the outward path side is provided outside the fishing boat 300, and the return path side is provided inside the fishing boat 300.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 2, the guide rail 10 extends from the branch rope winding place 310 arranged on the bow side of the fishing boat 300 to the other side (for example, the left side) of the fishing boat 300 beyond the side door provided on one side (for example, the right side) of the fishing boat 300, bends, and is arranged to reach the throwing rope working place 320 on the stern side of the fishing boat 300 along the other side of the fishing boat.

[0043] A branch rope hanging mechanism 30 for hanging the branch rope 220 is hung on the guide rail 10 (described later). Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the guide rail 10 passes through the warehouse C of the fishing boat 300. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the guide rail 10 bends 90 degrees on the stern side and passes through the warehouse C in a U-turn shape inside the warehouse C. The warehouse C can store, for example, the branch rope 220, the floating ball 240, or the buoy 250. By the guide rail 10 taking such a path, when the branch rope 220 is not used during movement, the branch rope 220 together with the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 is stored in this warehouse C.

[0044] Alternatively, the guide rail 10 may be provided so as not to pass through the warehouse C and turn back at the throwing rope working place 320. Thereby, the branch rope 220 moved from the branch rope winding place 310 to the throwing rope working place 320 may be directly used for the throwing rope operation. When mounting the branch rope conveying and storing device 100 according to the present embodiment on an existing fishing boat 300, the path of the guide rail 10 may adopt any of the above two forms. Alternatively, when mounting the branch rope conveying and storing device 100 according to the present embodiment on a newly built fishing boat 300, by not providing a warehouse C on the fishing boat 300, the casting work area 320 that also serves as a place for storing the branch rope 220, the buoy 240, or the float 250 may be widened.

[0045] Here, due to the swaying of the fishing boat 300 caused by the wind and waves on the ocean, the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 suspended on the forward path side of the guide rail 10 and the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 suspended on the return path side of the guide rail 10 may sway. As a result, the branch rope hanging mechanisms 30 may collide with each other. To avoid this, as shown in FIG. 4, a collision prevention plate 10t1 is provided between the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 suspended on the forward path side of the guide rail 10 and the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 suspended on the return path side of the guide rail 10.

[0046] The guide rail 10 is provided, for example, along the passage 330 on the fishing boat 300. In this case, a region where the operator O can pass is ensured. That is, the fishing boat 300 has a passage 330 where the operator O can pass adjacent to the guide rail 10. Therefore, in order to prevent a collision between the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 and the operator O, a second collision prevention plate 10t2 is provided between the guide rail 10 and the passage 330.

[0047] The collision prevention plate 10t1 and the second collision prevention plate 10t2 are, for example, known acrylic plates. Here, the purpose of the collision prevention plate 10t1 and the second collision prevention plate 10t2 is to prevent the collision of the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 as described above. Therefore, in order to prevent the influence of damage caused by strong winds, etc., the collision prevention plate 10t1 and the second collision prevention plate 10t2 may be provided with holes for reducing air resistance by allowing air to pass through. The moving mechanism 20 has a plurality of suspension parts 21 and is movably attached along the guide rail 10. The moving mechanism 20 is configured as, for example, an overhead conveyor using a trolley chain, with a part attached to the guide rail 10 and the other part being a member having a ring-shaped suspension part 21 for attaching the branch rope suspension mechanism 30. The ring shape of the suspension part 21 may alternatively be a hook shape. The branch rope suspension mechanism 30 is suspended from the suspension part 21 of the moving mechanism 20 and moves along the guide rail 10.

[0048] The branch rope suspension mechanism 30 is used by being suspended from a plurality of suspension parts 21 of the moving mechanism 20. The branch rope suspension mechanism 30 circulates along the guide rail 10 on the deck of the fishing boat 300. The circulation may be automatically performed by a drive unit D or the like, or may be manually performed. In the present embodiment, the branch rope suspension mechanism 30 has the following six modes. That is, it has a first branch rope suspension mechanism 30A, a second branch rope suspension mechanism 30B, a third branch rope suspension mechanism 30C, a fourth branch rope suspension mechanism 30D, a fifth branch rope suspension mechanism 30E, and a sixth branch rope suspension mechanism 30F. Hereinafter, when not distinguishing the plurality of types, it is referred to as the branch rope suspension mechanism 30.

[0049] The plurality of types of branch rope suspension mechanisms 30 are common in that they each have a branch rope holding part that can individually hold a part of the coiled branch rope 220 in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil. Also, the branch rope holding part holds the branch rope 220, for example, with the axial direction of the coil facing the horizontal direction. That is, they are common in that the coiled branch rope 220 is placed vertically. Hereinafter, when not distinguishing the various types of branch rope holding parts described later, it is referred to as the branch rope holding part.

[0050] The first branch rope suspension mechanism 30A shown in FIG. 6 includes a base shaft 31A, a plurality of arm parts 32A in the vertical direction, and a plurality of first branch rope holding parts 33A also in the vertical direction. The base shaft 31A is a configuration common to various branch rope suspension mechanisms 30 described later. The base shaft 31A is a part that becomes the center of each component of the branch rope suspension mechanism 30. The base shaft 31A is a rod extending in the vertical direction. For the base shaft 31A, for example, wire-shaped metal is preferably used. The upper end of the base shaft 31A has a hook-like shape so as to be suspended from the suspension part 21 of the moving mechanism 20.

[0051] The arm part 32A connects the base shaft 31A and the first branch rope holding part 33A. For the arm part 32A, for example, a metal plate or wire-shaped metal is preferably used. Also, a joint 32Ae is provided in the middle of the arm part 32A. The first branch rope holding part 33A individually holds a part of the branch rope 220 wound in a coil shape in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil. The first branch rope holding part 33A is, for example, a V-shaped member, and rollers are provided at both ends of the V-shaped opening. The V-shaped member is preferably elastically deformable. Also, in a normal state, it is preferable that the rollers are in contact with each other or have only a slight gap.

[0052] When storing the coiled branch rope 220 in the first branch rope holding part 33A having the above-described configuration, a part of the branch rope 220 is pushed into the inside of the V-shaped opening through the roller. As a result, the interval between the rollers is widened by the branch rope 220. After the branch rope 220 passes through the roller, the positions of the rollers return to the original state due to the elasticity of the V-shaped member. In this way, the branch rope 220 is stored in the first branch rope holding part 33A. When taking out the branch rope 220, it can be taken out by pulling the branch rope 220.

[0053] The second branch rope suspension mechanism 30B shown in FIG. 7 includes a base shaft 31A, a plurality of second branch rope holding parts 32B, and the same number of snap cases 33B and fishing hook cases 34B. Regarding the description of each branch rope suspension mechanism 30 described below, the same reference numerals are given to the common components, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0054] The second branch line holding part 32B is different from the first branch line holding part 33A in that it holds the coiled branch line 220 as a whole. The second branch line holding part 32B has a clamping part P1 and a hooking part F1. The clamping part P1 clamps a part of the coil shape from the axial direction of the coil. The clamping part P1 is formed by appropriately bending a wire-like member. The clamping part P1 is formed by a frame-shaped part P1a formed in a square shape in the horizontal direction, and a lower end holding part P1b that extends in the vertical direction, has an upper end attached to the middle part of the frame-shaped part, and a lower end attached to the base shaft 31A.

[0055] The hooking part F1 is a part attached to the base shaft 31A above the clamping part P1, and hooks the upper part of the branch line 220. As shown in Fig. 7, the hooking part F1 is formed, for example, in a quarter-circular arc shape or a hook shape by appropriately bending a wire-like metal. In addition to holding the lower part of the branch line 220 so as to clamp it between the lower end holding part P1b of the clamping part P1 and the base shaft 31A in particular, by holding the upper part of the branch line 220 by the hooking part F1, the coiled branch line 220 is held as a whole. As shown in Fig. 7, two second branch line holding parts 32B are arranged in a pair back to back to form a set of second branch line holding parts 32B, and a plurality of sets of second branch line holding parts 32B are arranged vertically. That is, a set of second branch line holding parts 32B is provided symmetrically with respect to the base shaft 31A, and a plurality of said sets are provided in the vertical direction.

[0056] The snap case 33B is a cylindrical member that houses the snap provided at one end of the branch line 220. The fishing hook case 34B is a cylindrical member that houses the fishing hook. Alternatively, without being limited to this, a container that houses the snap and the fishing hook may not be distinguished, and the same cylindrical member may be provided. As shown in Fig. 7, the snap case 33B and the fishing hook case 34B are provided on the left side and the right side of the frame-shaped part P1a of the clamping part P1 respectively, and are arranged on both sides of the coiled branch line 220. Note that the left side and the right side of the frame-shaped part P1a are the left side and the right side when the frame-shaped part P1a is viewed from the axial direction of the coil of the branch line 220 housed in the clamping part P1.

[0057] The third branch rope suspension mechanism 30C shown in FIG. 8 includes a base shaft 31A, a vertically long octagonal base shaft frame 31F that reinforces the base shaft 31A, a plurality of third branch rope holding portions 32C, and the same number of snap cases 33B and hook needle cases 34B. The third branch rope holding portion 32C includes a second sandwiching portion P2 and a hooking portion F1. The second sandwiching portion P2 is common to the sandwiching portion P1 in that by appropriately bending a wire-like member, it forms a second frame-like portion P2a corresponding to the above-mentioned frame-like portion P1a and a second lower end holding portion P2b corresponding to the lower end holding portion P1b, but the bending mode is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the topmost branch rope 220 is arranged such that the axial direction of the coil is horizontal, while the second and subsequent branch ropes 220 from the top are inclined with respect to the vertical direction in the axial direction of the coil of the branch rope 220, that is, the axial direction of the coil is inclined 10 to 30 degrees from the horizontal direction so that the upper part of the coil is away from the base shaft 31A and is accommodated. Similar to the second branch rope suspension mechanism 32B, a pair of third branch rope holding portions 32C is provided symmetrically with respect to the base shaft 31A, and a plurality of such pairs are provided in the vertical direction.

[0058] The snap case 33B and the hook needle case 34B have the same configuration as the second branch rope suspension mechanism 30B, but are different from the second branch rope suspension mechanism 30B in that the second and subsequent ones from the top are attached inclined in the axial direction of the coil of the branch rope 220 with respect to the vertical direction. That is, the snap case 33B and the hook needle case 34B are attached along the base shaft frame 31F to the topmost third branch rope holding portion 32C, and are attached obliquely to the second frame-like portion P2a for the second and subsequent third branch rope holding portions 32C.

[0059] The fourth branch rope suspension mechanism 30D shown in FIG. 9 includes a base shaft 31A, a plurality of fourth branch rope holding portions 32D, and the same number of snap cases 33B and hook needle cases 34B. The fourth branch rope holding portion 32D includes a third sandwiching portion P3 and a hooking portion F1. As shown in Fig. 9, the third clamping part P3 is a storage bag that stores the lower part of the branch rope 220 with the upper end of the branch rope 220 hooked by the hooking part F1. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 9, a back part P3a attached to the base shaft 31A and a front part P3b located on the side opposite to the back part P3a in the axial direction of the coiled branch rope 220 form a bag-like shape, and the branch rope 220 is put into the inside of the bag-like shape to store the branch rope 220.

[0060] As shown in Fig. 9, for the bag-like shape of the third clamping part P3, the top branch rope 220 is arranged such that the axial direction of the coil is horizontal, but the branch ropes 220 from the second one downwards are inclined with respect to the vertical direction in the axial direction of the coil of the branch rope 220, that is, the axial direction of the coil is inclined by 10 to 30 degrees from the horizontal direction in the direction where the upper part of the coil is away from the base shaft 31A and is formed to be accommodated. Also, the hooking part F1 in the fourth branch rope holding part 32D is different from the above-mentioned clamping parts P1, etc. in that the top hooking part F1 is attached to the back part P3a, but the hooking parts F1 from the second one downwards are attached to the front part P3b of the third clamping part P3 one level above.

[0061] Similar to the second branch rope suspension mechanism 32B, etc., one set of the fourth branch rope holding part 32D is provided symmetrically with respect to the base shaft 31A, and a plurality of such sets are provided in the vertical direction. The snap case 33B and the fishing hook case 34B are different from the second branch rope suspension mechanism 30B in that, similar to the third branch rope suspension mechanism 30C, the second one and the subsequent ones from the top are attached while being inclined in the axial direction of the coil of the branch rope 220 with respect to the vertical direction.

[0062] The fifth branch rope suspension mechanism 30E shown in Fig. 10 includes a base shaft 31A and a plurality of fifth branch rope holding parts 32E. The fifth branch rope holding part 32E has a fourth clamping part P4 that clamps the upper part of the coiled branch rope 220 from the axial direction of the coil. The fourth clamping part P4 also serves as a second hooking part F2 that hooks the upper part of the coiled branch rope 220. That is, the functions of the fourth clamping part P4 and the second hooking part F2 are ensured by one member. The fourth clamping part P4 is formed by appropriately bending a wire-shaped member, and has a rectangular back part P4a with an upper side and a lower side attached to the base axis 31A, and two claw parts P4b that project forward from two positions on the left and right at the lower end of the back part P4a to form a hook shape.

[0063] The branch rope 220 is stored so as to be hooked inside an opening formed between the back part P4a and the two claw parts P4b. At this time, so that the branch rope 220 does not come off due to swaying caused by wind or the like, the size of the opening is preferably formed such that the part through which the branch rope 220 passes when storing the branch rope 220, that is, the vicinity of the end of the opening, is smaller than the area where the branch rope 220 is stored.

[0064] Similar to the second branch rope holding part 32B and the like, a pair of the fifth branch rope holding parts 32E is also provided symmetrically with respect to the base axis 31A so that the back part P4a of the fourth clamping part P4 is joined, and a plurality of the pairs are provided in the vertical direction.

[0065] The sixth branch rope hanging mechanism 30F shown in FIG. 11 includes a base axis 31A and a plurality of sixth branch rope holding parts 32F. The sixth branch rope holding part 32F has a fifth clamping part P5 that clamps the upper part of the coiled branch rope 220 from the axial direction of the coil. The fifth clamping part P5 also serves as a third hooking part F3 that hooks the upper part of the coiled branch rope 220. That is, the roles of the fifth clamping part P5 and the third hooking part F3 are ensured by one member. The fifth clamping part P5 is formed in a frame shape with a semi-circular upper part and a semi-rectangular lower part, and has a large-diameter frame D1 with a semi-circular upper end and a rectangular lower side attached to the base axis 31A, and a small-diameter frame D2 that is arranged facing the large-diameter frame D1, has a semi-circular upper part smaller in diameter than the large-diameter frame D1, and a lower part formed to open downward, and is connected to both left and right ends of the lower end part of the large-diameter frame D1. Both the large-diameter frame D1 and the small-diameter frame D2 are formed by appropriately bending a wire-shaped member.

[0066] The wire forming the large-diameter frame D1 is, more specifically, linear at its lower end and is positioned in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the base axis 31A extends. It extends linearly upward from both ends of the lower end, and the upper end side has a semi-circular shape. The wire forming the small-diameter frame D2 is, more specifically, connected to both ends of the lower end of the large-diameter frame D1, extends upward, and extends away from the base axis 31A along the coiled axial direction of the branch rope 220. Also, the wires extend such that the distance between the wires becomes smaller than the distance at the portion connected to the lower end of the large-diameter frame D1. Then, it bends at an arbitrary portion so that the distance between the wires becomes constant. From the bent point, it extends upward and further away from the base axis 31A along the coiled axial direction of the branch rope 220. The upper end of the small-diameter frame D2 has a semi-circular shape similar to that of the large-diameter frame D1.

[0067] The fifth clamping portion P5 having the above-described configuration fixes the branch rope 220 so as to sandwich it at a location where the distance in the coiled axial direction of the branch rope 220 is small near the lower ends of the large-diameter frame D1 and the small-diameter frame D2. Similar to the second branch rope holding portion 32B, etc., a pair of the sixth branch rope holding portions 32F is provided symmetrically with respect to the base axis 31A so that the large-diameter frame D1 of the fifth clamping portion P5 is joined, and a plurality of such pairs are provided in the vertical direction. Note that the fifth clamping portion P5 can also be regarded as having a large-diameter frame-shaped back portion and one claw portion that projects forward from this back portion to form a small-diameter frame shape, in such a way that the fourth clamping portion P4 has a back portion P4a and two claw portions P4b.

[0068] As described above, according to the branch rope suspension mechanism 30 according to the present embodiment, it has a branch rope holding portion that can individually hold a part of the branch rope 220 wound in a coil shape while being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil shape. Thereby, by simply arranging the branch rope 220 in the branch rope holding portion, the branch ropes 220 wound in a coil shape can be individually held so as not to come apart. Therefore, the binding work with a rope or the like for storing the branch rope 220 in a basket or the like during rope hoisting can be omitted. Further, the branch rope holding portion is fixed so as to sandwich the branch rope 220. Therefore, the branch rope 220 can be appropriately held against the sway of the ship.

[0069] Moreover, it has a plurality of suspension portions 21 and a moving mechanism 20 movably attached along the guide rail 10. Thereby, the plurality of branch ropes 220 held by the branch rope holding portion can be moved, that is, conveyed, from the branch rope winding yard 310 on the bow side of the fishing boat 300 to the throwing rope work yard 320 on the stern side along the guide rail 10. Therefore, operations such as storing the branch rope 220 in a basket or the like during rope hoisting and taking out the branch rope 220 transported to the stern side from the basket or the like can be omitted. Furthermore, the branch rope 220 suspended at the throwing rope work yard 320 during throwing can be directly taken out from the branch rope holding portion. Thereby, the release work of untying the binding of the branch rope 220 taken out from a basket or the like during throwing can be omitted.

[0070] Also, the guide rail 10 is arranged to circulate between the branch rope winding yard 310 on the bow side of the fishing boat 300 and the throwing rope work yard 320 on the stern side of the fishing boat 300. Thereby, the plurality of held and suspended branch ropes 220 can be circulated along the guide rail 10. Therefore, it is possible to combine the conveyance and storage of the branch rope 220. In this way, by providing a device that combines the conveyance and storage of the conventional branch rope 220 in the fishing boat 300 using the haenawa 200, it is possible to achieve labor saving and labor reduction in the throwing and hoisting operations of the fishing boat 300 using the haenawa 200, particularly in the operations related to the conveyance and storage of the branch rope 220.

[0071] Further, the branch rope holding portion holds the branch rope 220 in a state where the axial direction faces the horizontal direction. That is, the branch rope 220 wound in a coil shape is placed vertically. Thereby, the space required for transporting or storing the branch rope 220 can be reduced.

[0072] Further, the first branch rope holding portion 33A etc. has a sandwiching portion that sandwiches the branch rope 220 and a hooking portion F1 that hooks the upper portion of the branch rope 220. By sandwiching the branch rope 220 and holding the upper portion by the hooking portion F1, the branch rope 220 can be held more reliably.

[0073] Further, the third sandwiching portion P3 is a storage bag that stores the lower portion of the branch rope 220 with the upper end of the branch rope 220 hooked on the hooking portion F1. Thereby, it is possible to prevent wind or the like from directly hitting the held branch rope 220. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the held branch rope 220 from coming apart due to wind or the like, and the branch rope 220 can be held more reliably.

[0074] Further, the fourth sandwiching portion P4 is the second hooking portion F2. Alternatively, the fifth sandwiching portion P5 is the third hooking portion F3. That is, the roles of the sandwiching portion and the hooking portion F1 are ensured by one member. The sandwiching portion has a large-diameter frame D1 and a small-diameter frame D2 arranged facing the large-diameter frame D1. Thereby, the branch rope 220 can be held reliably with a small configuration.

[0075] Further, a pair of second branch rope holding portions 32B etc. are arranged to form a set of branch rope holding portions, and a plurality of sets of branch rope holding portions are arranged vertically. Thereby, a plurality of branch ropes 220 can be held in a smaller space. Therefore, it can contribute to space saving on the ship.

[0076] Further, a collision prevention plate 10t1 is provided between the branch rope suspension mechanisms 30 on the forward side and the return side. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the branch rope suspension mechanisms 30 from colliding with each other or the branch ropes 220 from colliding with each other due to the swaying of the ship or the swaying of the branch rope suspension mechanisms 30 caused by wind or the like.

[0077] Further, it includes a second collision suppression plate 10t2 installed between the guide rail 10 and the passage 330. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 and the branch rope 220 from coming into contact with the operator O passing through the passage 330 due to the sway of the ship or the swaying of the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 caused by wind or the like.

[0078] Further, the guide rail 10 extends from a branch rope winding place 310 arranged on the bow side of the fishing boat 300 to the other side of the ship, bends, and is arranged to reach a throwing rope work place 320 on the stern side of the fishing boat 300 along the other side of the ship. Thereby, it is possible to eliminate the need to manually carry the branch rope 220 from the branch rope winding place 310 near the side door on one side of the ship to the other side and further to the throwing rope work place 320 on the stern side. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the number of personnel and labor in the rope raising operation.

[0079] Further, the guide rail 10 passes through the warehouse C of the fishing boat 300. Thereby, when the branch rope 220 is not used during movement, the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 together with the branch rope 220 can be stored in this warehouse C. Therefore, the storage of the branch rope 220 can be made efficient.

[0080] Further, it has a first branch rope holding part 33A or the like that can individually hold a part of the branch rope 220 wound in a coil state in a state of being sandwiched from the axial direction of the coil, and is suspended from each hanging part 21 of the moving mechanism 20. By sandwiching the branch rope 220, it is possible to prevent the branch rope 220 during transportation from coming apart. Therefore, it is possible to omit the binding work with a rope or the like for storing the branch rope in a basket or the like during rope raising. In addition, the branch rope holding part is fixed so as to sandwich the branch rope, and the branch rope can be appropriately held against the sway of the ship. Furthermore, by being suspended from the hanging part of the moving mechanism 20, the transportation can be facilitated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of personnel and labor in the throwing rope and rope raising operations on a fishing boat using a branch rope, particularly in operations related to the transportation and storage of the branch rope.

[0081] Note that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0082] In this embodiment, the branch rope holding portion holds a part of the coiled branch rope 220 with the axial direction of the coil being horizontal. However, it may hold the coiled branch rope with the axial direction of the coil facing other directions such as the vertical direction. In this embodiment, a pair of branch rope holding portions is provided symmetrically with respect to the base axis 31A, and a plurality of such pairs, for example, two or four pairs, are provided in the vertical direction. However, only one pair may be provided without being arranged in the vertical direction, or a plurality of them may be provided only in the vertical direction without being provided symmetrically with respect to the base axis 31A. Further, the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 may have one branch rope holding portion. In this embodiment, the branch rope winding area 310 is provided with a line hoist 311, a bran reel 312, and a floating rope winder 313. However, the branch rope winding area 310 may be provided with only the bran reel 312 without the line hoist 311 and the floating rope winder 313. In this embodiment, the branch rope conveying and storing device 100 includes a collision suppressing plate 10t1 and a second collision suppressing plate 10t2. However, it may include only one of them, or may not include either of them. In this embodiment, the present invention has been described as the branch rope conveying and storing device 100. However, the present invention may also be in the form of the branch rope hanging mechanism 30 that is used a plurality of times in the branch rope conveying and storing device 100.

[0083] In addition, within the scope not departing from the spirit of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately replace the components in the above-described embodiments with well-known components, and the above-described modification examples may also be appropriately combined.
