Background Art
[0002] A conventional lure that inserts a shaft into a cylindrical portion and rotates will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. Representative examples of lures that insert a shaft into a cylindrical portion and rotate include the rotary head type lure in FIG. 8 and the prop bait type lure in FIG. 9.
[0003] The rotary head type lure in FIG. 8 has a cylindrical portion 4 at the center of a rotating portion 1 called a head at the front, and is rotatably combined with a shaft 5 fixed to a fixed portion 2 called a body. When the fishing line tied to the eye 7 at the tip of the lure is pulled by casting the lure, winding the reel, raising the rod, or moving the boat, etc., the rotating portion 1 having the rotating blade 6 and the rotating shape portion 9 rotates under the water pressure from the front. The rotating portion 1 and the fixed portion 2 are made of wood or resin and have an appropriate weight. Both the cylindrical portion 4 and the shaft 5 having a circular cross-section have an appropriate length in the longitudinal direction and have little inclination. In addition, devices such as attaching beads 10 and protruding the cylindrical portion 4 from the rotating portion and forming it smoothly are made, and stable rotation can be obtained by such a structure. Fish are stimulated and attracted by the ripples, water bubbles, water splashes, and sounds generated by the rotation, and some are caught on the attached hooks 8.
[0004] The prop bait type lure in FIG. 9 has a structure similar to that of the rotary head type lure, but the rotating portion 1 called a tail is located behind the fixed portion 2. Good rotation by the rotating blade 6 having a curved surface generates soft sounds and effective ripples, water bubbles, and water splashes, stimulating and attracting fish.
[0005] The fishing lure equipped with a noise maker disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a metal disk provided on the rotating part, and a disk with metal teeth is elastically attached to the main body. When the lure is pulled, the rotating and contacting disk and teeth produce a sound like a buzzer.
[0006] Patent Document 2 The fishing lure that emits sound disclosed therein is provided with the cylinder of the rotating part offset from the center, and a loosely attached metal rotating wing and screw. The rotating part produces a clicking sound due to unbalanced rotation.
[0007] Although the types of lures are different, the popper for the swisher in Patent Document 3 has a large shaft hole of the popper and is shaped like a rectangle, rhombus, gourd, or ellipse. When the popper rotates, it rattles to generate a collision sound with the water.

[0014] The mutually sliding part 3 can also be provided with a plurality of different convex shapes by changing the distance from the center on the concentric circumference.
[0015] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in a lure in which a rotating part 1 with a cylindrical part 4 is connected so as to be rotatable around a shaft 5 fixed to a fixed part 2 typified by a rotary head type lure or a prop bait type lure, the cross section of the inner surface of the cylindrical part 4 and / or the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 5 is Formed into an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, a shape combining an arc and a chord, or a shape combining arcs with different diameters a lure characterized by having a part.
Effect of the Invention
[0016] According to the lure of the present invention, due to the rotation of the rotating part 1, the A plurality of convex shapes composed of curved surfaces and inclined surfaces shapes of the mutually sliding parts 3 come into contact with each other, and receive movement and impact in the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction, generating sound and vibration. At this time, each of the Convex shape of the mutually sliding part 3 is arranged in a plurality on the circumference, and the resistance at the time of contact is dispersed and there is little bias. Convex shape When the mutually sliding part 3b with different intervals is provided, sound and vibration waiting for a temporal change can be generated.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a side view showing a rotary head type lure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the rotating part 1 is made of wood and has aluminum rotating blades 6 and a brass tube cylindrical part 4, and is rotatably combined with an aluminum shaft 5 fixed to a wooden fixed part 2. On the mutually facing surfaces of the rear end of the rotating part 1 and the front end of the fixed part 2, brass mutual sliding parts 3a are provided on the concentric circumference of the shaft 5. Hooks 8 are provided at two positions on the fixed part 2. In the case of this first embodiment, when the lure is pulled, the rotating part 1 called the front head rotates by the water pressure received by the rotating blades 6, generating ripples, water bubbles, water foam, and sound. Also, the Convex shape repeatedly contacts due to the rotation of the rotating part 1 to generate sound and vibration, stimulating and attracting fish.
[0022] FIG. 2 is a side view showing a prop bait type lure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, it has a structure similar to that of the above-described rotary head type lure, but since the rotating part 1 with the cylindrical part 4 and the rotating blades 6 is behind the fixed part 2, mutual sliding parts 3a are provided on the mutually facing surfaces of the rear end of the rotating part 1 and the front end of the shaft fixing part 11 fixed on the opposite side of the fixed part 2 with it in between. Hooks 8 are provided at two positions on the fixed part 2 located in the front and the rear end of the shaft 5. In addition to the original effects of the prop bait type lure, like in the first embodiment, due to the rotation of the rotating part, the Convex shape repeatedly contacts to generate the effect of generating sound and vibration, and it is an example where the present invention can be implemented in various types of lures that insert a shaft into the cylindrical part and perform a rotating operation.
[0023] Figure 3 is a side view showing a rotary head type lure according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the rotating part 1 is made of wood and has aluminum rotating blades 6 and a brass cylindrical part 4b, and is rotatably combined with an aluminum shaft 5b fixed to the wooden fixed part 2. At this time, the cylindrical part 4b is formed into a polygonal inner surface cross-sectional shape with mutually shifted angles at two locations, and the cross-section of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 5b is A shape combining an arc and a chord as shown. The hooks 8 are provided at two locations on the fixed part 2. In the case of the third embodiment, when the lure is pulled, the rotating part 1 called the front head rotates by the water pressure received by the rotating blades 6, generating ripples, water bubbles, water foam, and sound. At the same time, due to the rotation of the rotating part 1, the cylindrical part 4b and the shaft 5b repeatedly strike each other, generating sound and vibration to stimulate and attract fish.
[0024] Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a rotary head type lure according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, it is provided with both the mutual sliding part 3a used in the first embodiment and the cylindrical part 4b and the shaft 5b used in the third embodiment. In this way, the Convex shape , the inner surface of the cylindrical part 4 and the Formed cross-sectional shape of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 5 can be combined, and more effective time and strength changes can be achieved, generating overlapping sounds and vibrations.
[0025] Figure 5 is a front view, a side view, and a perspective view illustrating embodiments of the mutual sliding part 3 used in the first, second, and fourth embodiments of the present invention. The mutual sliding part 3 can be formed into various Convex shapes, and due to the rotation of the rotating part 1, the Convex shapes come into contact with each other, generating sound and vibration. Hereinafter, several examples will be described.
[0026] The mutual sliding part 3a is a mutual sliding part having an Convex equidistant shape. Convex shapes with curved surfaces are arranged at equal intervals. It generates equidistant sounds and vibrations, and since each Convex shape receives contact simultaneously, the resistance is evenly and smallly dispersed without bias.
[0027] The mutual sliding part 3b has an ConvexIt is a mutually sliding part having a shape. Two convex-shaped parts, one narrow and the other having a gentle slope following the rotation direction, are connected in a row of four throughout the circumference. In this case, the contact is repeated twice with an interval, generating a sound and vibration with a temporal change. Four at a time Convex shape Since the contact is repeated simultaneously, the resistance is dispersed.
[0028] The mutual impulse part 3c is on a plurality of circumferences Convex It is a mutually sliding part having a shape. Different intervals are provided on two circumferences with different distances from the center Convex with a shape. The inner Convex shape has the same shape as the above 3a, and two Convex shape with a gentle slope along the rotation direction are arranged outside it and are in a shape that drops at the apex. In the case of this double convex shape, while the inner Convex shape generates sounds and vibrations at equal intervals, the inner contact is weakened by the outer slope, and when passing the apex of the outer convex shape, an impact is applied, and the sounds and vibrations can be superimposed to change the intensity. Also, since two outer convex shapes are arranged opposite to each other, the resistance to rotation is dispersed together with the inner convex shape.
[0029] The mutual shape part 3d is a mutually sliding part having a fine convex shape at equal intervals. It has a convex shape with a curve Surface like 3a, but the interval is narrowed to generate finer sounds and vibrations.
[0030] The mutual shape part 3e is a mutually sliding part having an inclined surface and a vertical surface Convex with a shape. It has a shape that combines an inclined surface and a vertical surface at equal intervals, and like 3a, the contact resistance operates with little bias and is small and dispersed, and sounds and vibrations are generated when advancing over the apex of the entire inclined surface.
[0031] The mutually sliding part 3f is a mutually sliding part with a dome shape Convex shape arranged. Sixteen dome-shaped Convex shape are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference. In this case, it is also possible to implement by driving round-headed nails or pins on the circumference, and the degree of freedom is also high.
[0032] FIG. 6 is a side view and a cross-sectional view illustrating an embodiment of the cylindrical portion 4 used in the third and fourth embodiments of the present invention. The inner surface of the cylindrical portion can be in various shapes, and the rotating portion receives an impact by being inserted into the shaft and rotating. Here, although the cylindrical portion is integrally formed with the rotating portion so that the shape of the inner surface of the cylindrical portion is clear, when the main body is made of wood or the like, a metal pipe or the like can be formed with a similar inner surface shape and embedded. Hereinafter, several examples will be described.
[0033] The cylindrical portion 4a is circular Shape and is a cross-sectional cylindrical portion. The cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder is basically a perfect circle.
[0034] The cylindrical portion 4b is a cylindrical portion having a plurality of polygons Shape in cross-section. The cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder has a hexagonal cross-sectional portion formed at two different positions in the longitudinal direction in a cylinder having a perfect circular cross-sectional shape. Since the hexagonal cross-sectional portions have different angles from each other, as a whole, it has more non-circular portions of the same size than a single one, and is a single polygon Shape cross-sectional portion, but has the same strength as that of only one cross-sectional portion and has a shape in which the intervals of sound and vibration are reduced.
[0035] The cylindrical portion 4c is a cylindrical portion having a polygonal Shape cross-section. In this way, the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder can also be made the same.
[0036] The cylindrical portion 4d is A cross-section of a shape combining an arc and a chord a cylindrical portion. The cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder is the same.
[0037] The cylindrical portion 4e is Having a plurality of cross-sectional shapes of a shape combining arcs with different diameters a cylindrical portion. Dome-shaped convex portions are formed on the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion by changing the positions in the longitudinal direction and on the circumference. Combining arcs with different diameters This becomes the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder. In the example, the dome-shaped convex portions are arranged in a spiral shape, but each position in the longitudinal direction can be anywhere. In this way, when many non-circular Of the shape portions are provided on the cylindrical portion 4 or the shaft 5, if the shape is limited to the entire longitudinal direction or only one position in the longitudinal direction, the shapes are too close to each other and it becomes difficult to form, and restrictions occur in the shape, size, and number. However, by changing the position in the longitudinal direction, non-circularOf the shape A plurality of parts can be arranged on the cylindrical part 4 and the shaft 5. According to the implementation of the present invention, such problems can be effectively addressed.
[0038] FIG. 9 is a side view and a cross-sectional view illustrating an embodiment of the shaft 5 used in the third and fourth embodiments. As illustrated, the cross-section of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft related to the cylindrical part can be of various shapes. The rotating part rotates when inserted into the cylindrical part 4 and receives an impact. The cylindrical part 4 and the shaft 5 having various shapes are implemented while paying attention to being combined effectively to obtain an effect. Hereinafter, several examples will be described.
[0039] The shaft 5a is circular Shape in cross-section. The cross-sectional shape of the outer periphery of the shaft is basically a perfect circle.
[0040] The shaft 5b is A shape combining an arc and two chords a shaft in cross-section. In this example Form two planes on the axis of a perfect circular shape is being done.
[0041] The shaft 5c is A shape combining an arc and one chord a shaft in cross-section. In this example Form one plane on the axis of a perfect circular shape is being done.
[0042] The shaft 5d is elliptical Shape in cross-section. The cross-sectional shape of the outer periphery of the shaft is entirely elliptical.
[0043] The shaft 5e is a shaft having a plurality of polygons Shape in cross-section. The cross-sectional shape of the outer periphery of the shaft has a pentagonal part with different angles at two different positions in the longitudinal direction formed on a shaft with a circular cross-section.
