Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The thread wound around this thread storage body is quite long, and both of the two loops are wound multiple times. Therefore, the thickness of the intersection of the two loops becomes thick, and when pulling out the thread, the thread is likely to get entangled in the loop and the thread cannot be pulled out smoothly.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a thread storage body that can smoothly pull out the thread even when a long thread is wound.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The thread storage body according to one aspect of the present invention has a flat plate. The flat plate can have various shapes such as a rectangular shape, a square shape, a circular shape, or an elliptical shape, and can be made of, for example, paper or synthetic resin. Two hanging portions are provided on the flat plate at intervals. As the engaging portion, any structure that can catch the thread is acceptable. For example, it can be cylindrical, elliptical columnar, or hemispherical. The thread is wound by crossing to form two loops. This thread tends to spread in a non-tensioned state. The two loops of the thread are both multi-loops, Located on both sides of a virtual straight line passing between the two hanging portions, one of the two hanging portions is located within one of the two loops, and the other of the two hanging portions is located within the other of the two loops , and the crossing portion of the thread passes through the virtual straight line. It should be noted that the engaging portion can also be located on one end side of the virtual straight line, and the crossing portion can be located on the other side of the virtual straight line. In the two loops, the portion closer to the virtual straight line is shorter than the portion farther from the virtual straight line, and the thread is drawn out from between the engaging portions to the side opposite to the crossing portion.

[0007] In the thread container configured in this way, since the two loops are arranged on both sides of the virtual straight line, the crossing portion of the two loops is stretched, and its thickness is thinner than when wound in a figure-eight shape. Therefore, when unwinding the thread, it is difficult for the thread to get entangled in the loop portion. Furthermore, in the two loops, the portion closer to the virtual straight line is shorter than the portion farther from the virtual straight line. So when the thread is drawn out from between the engaging portions to the side opposite to the crossing portion, even if most of one loop and the thread from the crossing portion of the other loop to near the engaging portion are unwound, the thread from the engaging portion to the crossing portion of the other loop remains unwound, and the previously unwound loop does not get entangled with the approaching loop and can be smoothly unwound. Similarly, each loop can be smoothly unwound hereinafter.

[0008] Another engaging portion having a smooth running surface for the thread can be provided on the flat plate so that another engaging portion is respectively located within the two loops.

[0009] With this configuration, since the loops are respectively hooked on the other engaging portions, the length of the loop from the crossing portion to the engaging portion can be made shorter than the length from the engaging portion to the crossing portion for each, and the loops of the thread can be unwound more smoothly.

[0010] Furthermore, a contact portion can be provided on the flat plate so as to contact the intersection portion near the intersection of the loops of the thread. With this configuration, the intersection portion of the two loop portions can be surely maintained in a thin state.

[0011] Furthermore, the two wing bodies can be fixed to the flat plate in a state where they extend from around the two hook portions through the two loops and toward the intersection portion. By configuring in this way, even if the loop tries to expand, the wing body suppresses it, so that when the thread is untangled, it is possible to prevent the thread from getting entangled with other loops or the like. Also, it is desirable that the length of the wing body corresponding to the hook portion from the intersection portion of the loop is shorter than the length corresponding to the intersection portion from the hook portion.

[0012] The flat plate can be bent so that the two loops overlap. Thereby, the thread storage body can be miniaturized.

[0013] A thread restraining portion extending onto the two loops from above or near the virtual straight line can also be provided. Also, another thread restraining portion extending onto the two loops from the side opposite to the virtual straight line with the two loops interposed therebetween can be provided. Thereby, when the thread is untangled, it is possible to prevent the thread from getting entangled with other loops or the like.

[0014] The thread container according to another aspect of the present invention has a flat plate, and the flat plate has a first portion, a second portion, and an intermediate portion between the first and second portions. One of the two hanging portions is provided in the first portion, and the other of the two hanging portions is provided in the second portion. The thread is wound in a figure-eight shape by being crossed to form two loops. This thread tends to spread in a non-tensioned state, and both of the two loops are multiple loops. One of the two hanging portions is located within one loop, and the other of the two hanging portions is located within the other loop. The crossing portion of the thread intersects on a virtual line passing through the intermediate portion within the intermediate portion, and the first and second portions are bent so that the two loops overlap. The portions of the two loops on the virtual straight line side are in contact with the intermediate portion, and the thread is drawn out from between the two hanging portions to the side opposite to the crossing portion.

[0015] With this configuration, in the bent state, the portion on the bent portion side of the two loops in the shape of an eight contacts the bent portion and is prevented from spreading further. The portion on the side opposite to the bent portion of the two loops can spread depending on the property of the thread. As a result, the length of the loop portion on the bent portion side in the portion corresponding to the hook portion from the intersection portion becomes shorter than the length of the loop on the side opposite to the bent portion in the portion corresponding to the intersection portion from the hook portion. As a result, in the same manner as described in the above aspect, the thread can be smoothly drawn out.

[0016] Similar to the modifications in the above-described embodiment, another catching portion, contact portion, thread presser portion, and another thread presser portion can also be provided. Alternatively, at least in the vicinity of the crossing portion, a thread restraining portion between two loops can also be provided.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] As described above, in the thread container according to the present invention, the thread can be smoothly drawn out without being entangled.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the yarn container according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a flat plate 2. The flat plate 2 is, for example, a rectangular one made of paper, and has an upper side 4, a lower side 6, side sides 8 and 10, and has a virtual straight line indicated by a dashed line on its center line (for example, a line connecting the centers of the upper side 4 and the lower side 6). Boundary lines 12 and 14 are formed on both sides of this virtual line, and the region surrounded by the boundary lines 12 and 14 is the connecting portion 16, and the regions on both sides of the connecting portion 16 are the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20. The lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are rectangles of the same shape.

[0020] Hooking portions 22 and 24 are respectively formed near the upper side 4 of the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20. These hooking portions 22 and 24 are located, for example, on the central axis lines of the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 respectively, and both are arranged symmetrically with respect to the virtual line as the axis of symmetry. The hooking portions 22 and 24 are formed in the same shape, for example, hemispherical, and the entire outer surface thereof is a yarn sliding surface. The hooking portions 22 and 24 can be made of paper, for example.

[0021] Another pair of hooking portions 26 and 28 are formed on the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 closer to the virtual line than the hooking portions 22 and 24 and closer to the lower side 6. The other hooking portions 26 and 28 are hemispherical ones arranged symmetrically with respect to the virtual line as the axis of symmetry, and the entire outer surface thereof is a yarn sliding surface. The other hooking portions 26 and 28 are of the same shape, and their diameter is somewhat smaller than the diameter of the hooking portions 22 and 24. It should be noted that the diameter of the other hooking portions can also be the same as the diameter of the hooking portions 22 and 24. The other hooking portions 26 and 28 can also be made of paper, for example.

[0022] The contact portion 30 is formed so as to be located on a virtual straight line at a position closer to the lower side 6 than the other engaging portions 26 and 28. As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the contact portion 30 with the flat plate 2 is, for example, oval-shaped, and the portions on the lower side 6 side and the opposite side thereof are curved. It rises straight up, and from the middle, as shown in FIG. 2, the side opposite to the flat plate 2 is convexly curved, and the curved shape of the contact surface with the flat plate 2 and the convexly curved shape each function as a smooth sliding surface. Note that the shape of the contact portion 30 as viewed from the side edges 8 and 10 can also be hemispherical or semi-elliptical. The contact portion 30 can also be made of, for example, paper.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, a fishing line 36, for example, is arranged among the contact portion 30, the engaging portion 22, and the other engaging portion 26 so that one loop 32 is formed between the contact portion 30, the engaging portion 22, and the other engaging portion 26, and another loop 34 is formed between the contact portion 30, the engaging portion 24, and the other engaging portion 28. In the loop 32, the engaging portion 22 and the other engaging portion 26 are located within the loop 32, and in the loop 34, the engaging portion 24 and the other engaging portion 28 are located within the loop 34. These loops 32 and 34 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the virtual straight line as the axis of symmetry.

[0024] The fishing line 36 is pre-wound by a reel as shown in FIG. 3, for example. One end of the fishing line to be wound is fixed between the contact portion 30a of the reel and the lower side 6a as shown by reference symbol X in FIG. 3. The fishing line 36 is passed through the curved corner on the lower side 6a side and the side 10a side of the contact portion 30a, and is directed toward the hook portion 24a on the central side of the reel as shown by arrow a. After being hooked on the portion on the upper side 4a side of the hook portion 24a, it is directed toward another hook portion 28a on the side 10a side as shown by arrow b, and after contacting the portion on the side 10a side thereof, it is directed toward the contact portion 30a side as shown by arrow c and brought into contact with the entire curved portion on the lower side 6a side of the contact portion 30a. Thereby, one loop 34 is formed. The line 36 is passed through the curved portion on the lower side 6a side of the contact portion 30a, and is directed toward the hook portion 22a from the corner on the side 8a side on the lower side 6a side as shown by arrow d. After being hooked on the portion on the upper side 4a side of the hook portion 22a, it is directed toward another hook portion 28a as shown by arrow e, and after contacting the portion on the side 8 side thereof, it is directed toward the contact portion 30a side as shown by arrow f and brought into contact with the entire curved portion on the lower side 6a side thereof. Thereby, one loop 32 is formed.

[0025] Similarly, two loops 32 and 34 wound multiple times are formed. In this state, both loops 32 and 34 are in a tensioned state. The end of the fishing line 36 after winding is arranged as shown by arrow g from the contact portion 30a to the upper side 4a as shown in FIG. 1. These two loops 32 and 34 are arranged side by side on the flat plate 2, and these two loops 32 and 34 intersect, but the intersection portion contacts the contact portion 30a on the lower side 6a of the contact portion 30a. Also, the length of the fishing line 36 between the contact portion 30a and the hook portion 22a is shorter than the length of the fishing line 36 from the hook portion 22a through another hook portion 26a to the contact portion 30a. Similarly, the length of the fishing line 36 between the contact portion 30a and the hook portion 24a is shorter than the length of the fishing line 36 from the hook portion 24a through another hook portion 28a to the contact portion 30a. The contact portion 30a, the hook portion 22a, and another hook portion 26a are located at the vertices of a roughly triangular shape, and by winding the fishing line 36 between these vertices, a loop 32 is formed. The contact portion 30a, the hook portion 24a, and another hook portion 28a are located at the vertices of a roughly triangular shape, and by winding the fishing line 36 between these vertices, a loop 34 is formed.

[0026] In this way, the pre-wound fishing line is removed from the reel, and as shown in FIG. 1, one loop 32 is arranged between the contact portion 30, the hook portion 22, and another hook portion 26, and another loop 34 is arranged between the contact portion 30, the hook portion 24, and another hook portion 28, so that the fishing line 36 is arranged between the contact portion 30, the hook portions 22 and 24, and another hook portions 26 and 28. In this state, the fishing line 36 is in a non-tensioned state and spreads more than the state shown in FIG. 3 due to the characteristics of the fishing line 36. Note that the start of winding is fixed as shown by the X mark, and the end of winding can be drawn out from the side opposite to the contact portion 30 on the connecting portion 16. In FIG. 1, since the figure is intricate, both loops 32 and 34 are shown as double loops. In loop 32, the one closer to the hook portions 22 and 26 is the previously wound loop, and the one closer to the side 8 and the boundary line 12 is the later wound loop. The same applies to loop 34.

[0027] In the state where the fishing line 36 is arranged in this way, the intersection of the two loops spreads on the lower side 6 side of the contact part 30, the height from the flat plate 2 is low, and it is difficult to get entangled.

[0028] When pulling out this fishing line 36, pull the end where the winding of the fishing line 36 is finished to the upper side 4 side as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1. As a result, the portion on the side 8 side in the loop 32 is untied, and the portion on the boundary line 12 side of the loop portion wound later is untied. Next, the portion on the side 10 side of the loop wound after the loop 34 is untied, and the portion on the boundary line 14 side is untied. Next, the portion on the side 8 side of the loop wound ahead of the loop 32 is untied, the portion on the boundary line 12 side of the loop wound ahead of the loop 32 is untied, the portion on the side 10 side of the loop wound ahead of the loop 34 is untied, and the portion on the boundary line 14 side of the loop wound ahead of the loop 34 is untied. Hereinafter, this is repeated.

[0029] Specifically, when the end of the fishing line 36 is pulled out from the side opposite to the contact portion 30 of the connecting portion 16, a portion of the loop 32 that is close to the end of the loop wound later on the thread sliding surface of the contact portion 30 slides, and a portion close to the side 8 between the catching portion 22 and the contact portion 30 is released and pulled out toward the upper side 4. As a result, the remaining portion of the loop wound after the loop 32 (the portion from the catching portion 22 close to the boundary line 12 toward the contact portion 30) spreads. Along with this, the portion of the loop 34 wound later also spreads. However, since the length of the loop portion between the catching portion 24 and the contact portion 30 (the loop on the boundary line 12 side) is different from the length of the loop portion from the catching portion 24 through another contact portion 28 to the contact portion 30 (the loop on the side 10 side), the loop portion from the catching portion 24 to the contact portion 30 (the portion close to the boundary line 12) spreads slightly slower than the loop portion from the catching portion 24 through another contact portion 28 to the contact portion 30. Therefore, when the portion of the loop 34 wound later is pulled out, the loop wound in front of the loop 32 has not spread yet. While it has not spread, the portion of the loop 34 wound later is pulled out, so this does not get entangled with the portion wound in front of the loop 32 during this pulling out. Hereinafter, in the same way, both loops are successively released and hardly get entangled.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to avoid complication in the drawings, the loops 32 and 34 are shown as double, but can be triple or more multiple loops. The other catching portions 26 and 28 can also be removed. The catching portions 22, 24, and the other catching portions 26 and 28 are not limited to hemispherical shapes, and can be other shapes as long as they have a thread sliding surface.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the thread container according to the second embodiment of the present invention is formed by folding back at the connecting portion 16 such that the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 overlap each other in parallel. In the folded state, the heights of the hooking portions 22 and 24 from the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are adjusted so that they do not come into contact with each other. Similarly, the heights of the other hooking portions 26 and 28 from the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are adjusted so that they do not come into contact with each other in the folded state. By folding in this way, the thread container can be made compact. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the fishing line is omitted. The fishing line is unwound in the same manner as the thread container of the first embodiment.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the thread container according to the third embodiment is provided with wing bodies 38 and 40 in the thread container of the second embodiment. When the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are folded so as to overlap each other as in the thread container of the second embodiment, the distance between the two loops 32 and 34 approaches, and when the fishing line 36 is pulled out, the fishing line 36 unwound from one loop may get caught in the other loop. To prevent this, it is desirable that most of the loop 32 is between the wing body 38 and the lower plate 18, and most of the loop 34 is between the wing body 40 and the upper plate 20. Therefore, the hooking portions 22b and 24b are formed in a columnar shape, and the wing bodies 38 and 40 are provided between the surfaces of these opposite to the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 and the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 in the vicinity of the other hooking portions 26 and 28. The wing bodies 38 and 40 are formed so as to protrude slightly outward from these in the vicinity of the hooking portions 22a and 24a, and are formed so as to gradually shrink as they go toward the other hooking portions 26 and 28, and the length of the edge closer to the boundary lines 12 and 14 is shorter than the length of the edge closer to the sides 8 and 10. The wing bodies 38 and 40 can also be made of, for example, paper.

[0033] When the fishing line 36 is pulled out, the fishing line 36 is unwound in the same manner as in the first embodiment except that it moves along the wing bodies 38 and 40. Note that, similar to the thread container of the first embodiment, it can also be used without folding the flat plate 2.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the thread container according to the fourth embodiment is provided with loop holders 42 and 44 in the third embodiment. The loop holder 42 is provided at the connecting portion 16, and is located between the wing bodies 38 and 40 in a state where the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are bent so as to overlap each other, preventing the fishing line of the loop 32 released from another hooking portion 26 from entangling with another portion of the loop 32 or with the loop 34. A side wall 46 having the same shape as the connecting portion 16 is provided at the side edge 8 of the lower plate 18. In a state where the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are folded over each other, the side wall 46 is bent at the side 8. The loop holder 44 is provided on this side wall 46 in the same manner as the loop holder 42, and is located between the wing bodies 38 and 40 in a state where the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are bent so as to overlap each other, and functions in the same manner as the loop holder 42. What is indicated by reference numeral 48 is a fixing portion, which is bent on the upper plate 20 in a state where the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are bent so as to overlap each other and the side wall 46 is also bent, and is fixed to the upper plate 20, maintaining the state where the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 are bent. Although the loop holder 42 is provided commonly for two loops, one can be provided at a position close to the boundary line 12 on the connecting portion 16 for the loop 32, and one can be provided at a position close to the boundary line 14 on the connecting portion 16 for the loop 34. Also, the connecting portion 42 can be integrally formed with the contact portion 30. Only one of the loop holders 42 and 44 can be provided.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the thread container according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is provided with a lid portion 50 and a fixing portion 52 in the fourth embodiment. The lid portion 50 is rectangular and is formed continuously on the lower side 6 of the lower plate 16, and is bent from the lower side 6 in a state where the lower plate 16 and the upper plate 18 are overlapped. A rectangular fixing portion is formed at the edge of the lid portion 50 opposite to the lower side 6, and is fixed on the upper plate 20, preventing the lid portion 50 from opening. As shown in FIG. 11, the lid portion 50 is curved in a bent state so that the side opposite to the lower plate 18 and the upper plate 20 is convex. With such a configuration, when the loops 32 and 34 are wound multiple times, the movement range thereof can be expanded, and entanglement of the thread within the same loop can be prevented.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 14(a), the fishing line container according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention bends the fishing line 36a pre-wound in a figure-eight shape so that their loops 32a and 34a are arranged as shown in Fig. 14(b), and as shown in Fig. 12, a hook portion 22 and another hook portion 26 are located within the loop 32a, a hook portion 24 and another hook portion 26 are located within the loop 34a, and the crossed portion of the two loops 32a and 34a is located on the lower side 6 side of the contact portion 30. In this embodiment, the contact portion 30 is located on the upper side 4 side of the other hook portions 26 and 28. In Figs. 13(a) and (b), since the figures are intricate, the loops 32a and 34a are shown as single-layered, and the same applies to Figs. 12 and 13.

[0037] The connecting portion 16 is bent by the boundary line 14 so as to be orthogonal to the lower plate 18, and further, by the boundary line 14, the upper plate 20 is bent so as to overlap the lower plate 18. In this state, as shown in Fig. 13, the portion of the loop 32a on the boundary line 12 side contacts the connecting portion 16, and further spreading is blocked, and the length is shorter than the portion of the loop 32a on the boundary line 8 side. The same applies to the loop 34a. Therefore, similar to the above-described respective embodiments, the thread can be drawn out without entanglement.

[0038] What is indicated by reference numeral 54 is a loop restraining body, which is provided between the side edges 8 and 10 of the flat plate 2 so as to straddle the two loops 32a and 34a on the side opposite to the lower side 6 of the contact portion 30, and has, for example, an inverted U-shaped configuration. Thereby, the loops 32a and 34a are wound multiple times, and their elasticity is prevented from spreading. In Fig. 13, the loop restraining body 54 is omitted. In the sixth embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, the wings 38 and 40 can be provided, or similarly to the fourth embodiment, the loop holders 42 and 44 can be provided, or similarly to the fifth embodiment, the lid portions 50 and the fixing portions 52 can be provided.

[0039] In each of the above embodiments, paper is used to make the flat plate 2, the hanging portions 22, 24, another hanging portions 26, 28, the contact portion 30, the wing bodies 38, 40, the loop pressers 44, 46, and the loop stopper 54. However, they can also be made of synthetic resin, and appropriate ones among them can be integrally molded with the flat plate 2.
