Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a jig head according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in these figures, this jig head 1 includes a weight portion 2 and a worm fixing portion 4 which is arranged on the rear side of the weight portion 2 and to which a rubber worm 3 is fixed. As a material of the rubber constituting the worm 3, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or an elastomer can be used.

[0016] The worm fixing portion 4 includes a head fixing portion 6 which is located on the weight portion 2 side and to which the head 5 of the worm 3 is fixed, and a body fixing portion 8 which is located on the side opposite to the weight portion 2 and to which the body 7 of the worm 3 is fixed. The body fixing portion 8 has a pointed insertion portion 9 which is inserted into the body 7 from the ventral side of the worm 3 toward the front to fix the body 7 to the worm fixing portion 4.

[0017] Further, the body fixing portion 8 has an L-shaped shape suitable for piercing the tip of the pointed insertion portion 9 with a pointed tip on the tip side thereof into the ventral side of the worm 3 and inserting it forward into the body 7 along the body 7 of the worm 3. When this insertion is made, the pointed insertion portion 9 is arranged along the length direction of the body 7.

[0018] The head fixing portion 6 is formed of a member protruding rearward, and is inserted so as to pierce the head 5 of the worm 3 into which the pointed insertion portion 9 is inserted into the body 7 from the front, thereby fixing the head 5 to the worm fixing portion 4. Since the worm fixing portion 4 is composed of a single flat fixing portion metal plate 10, the positions of the head fixing portion 6 and the body fixing portion 8 are fixed to each other.

[0019] In addition, the worm fixing part 4 includes a fixing part connecting part 11 that connects the head fixing part 6 and the body fixing part 8, and a hook mounting hole 12. A fishing hook 13 is attached to the hook mounting hole 12 via a split ring 14. There is a spatial margin between the front end part of the pointed tip insertion part 9 and the rear end part of the head fixing part 6, which can compress the part of the worm 3 on the head 5 side where the pointed tip insertion part 9 is inserted into the body 7 backward to face the rear end part of the head fixing part 6.

[0020] The weight part 2 includes a weight part metal plate 16 having a fishing line connection hole 15. The weight part metal plate 16 is integrated with the weight part 2 as an insert part when, for example, the weight part 2 is molded with resin. The fishing line connection hole 15 and the hook mounting hole 12 are provided in the weight part metal plate 16. A fishing hook 13 is attached to this hook mounting hole 12 via a split ring 14.

[0021] The weight part metal plate 16 and the fixing part metal plate 10 each have at least two connection holes 17 for connecting each other, and are connected by at least two connection rings 18 that cooperate with the connection holes 17. Therefore, with respect to the weight part 2, the worm 3 fixed to the worm fixing part 4 can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the weight part metal plate 16.

[0022] When attaching the worm 3 to the jig head 1, first, pierce the sharp tip of the pointed tip insertion part 9 into the abdominal side of the worm 3, and insert the pointed tip insertion part 9 along the length direction of the body 7 in the body 7 toward the head 5. Thereby, the body 7 is fixed to the body fixing part 8 via the pointed tip insertion part 9.

[0023] Next, push and compress the part of the worm 3 on the head 5 side backward. Thereby, the worm 3 is in the state as shown in FIG. 3. Further, compress it so that, as shown in FIG. 4, the head 5 is positioned in the space between the front end part of the pointed tip insertion part 9 and the rear end part of the head fixing part 6 and faces the rear end part of the head fixing part 6.

[0024] Then, the head 5 is pressed against the head fixing portion 6 and pierced and inserted into the head fixing portion 6. As a result, the head 5 of the worm 3 is fixed to the head fixing portion 6. Thereby, the worm 3 is fixed to the worm fixing portion 4, and the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1 is completed.

[0025] According to the first embodiment, the body fixing portion 8 and the head fixing portion 6 can realize reliable fixing of the worm 3 to the jig head 1. At that time, since the tail portion of the worm 3 is not fixed, free movement of the tail portion can be ensured.

[0026] In addition, the worm 3 can be attached to the jig head 1 simply by piercing the body portion 7 of the worm 3 into the pointed insertion portion 9 of the body fixing portion 8 and inserting the pointed insertion portion 9 into the body portion 7 and piercing the head 5 into the head fixing portion 6. Further, since the worm 3 can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the weight portion metal plate 16 with respect to the weight portion 2, the attention of the fish to the worm 3 can be more effectively attracted.

[0027] FIG. 5 shows a jig head 1b according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, this jig head 1b includes a weight portion 2b and a worm fixing portion 4b disposed on the rear side of the weight portion 2b to which a rubber worm 3 is fixed. The worm fixing portion 4b includes a head fixing portion 6b, a body fixing portion 8b, etc. similar to the worm fixing portion 4 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1b is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0028] However, in this embodiment, unlike the case of the first embodiment, the jig head 1b is formed by integrating the worm fixing portion 4b and the weight portion 2b. That is, when the weight portion 2 is formed of resin, the worm fixing portion 4b is inserted and integrally formed with the weight portion 2b. At that time, the fixing portion connecting portion 11b connecting the body fixing portion 8b and the head fixing portion 6b is also covered with resin. A fishing hook 13 is also attached to the front side of the worm fixing portion 4b, and a fishing line connection hole 15 is provided.

[0029] According to the second embodiment, similar to the case of the first embodiment, while ensuring the free movement of the tail of the worm 3, reliable fixation of the worm 3 to the jig head 1b can be achieved. Also, similar to the case of the first embodiment, the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1b can be easily performed.

[0030] Figures 6 and 7 show the jig head 1c according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in these figures, this jig head 1c includes a weight portion 2c and a worm fixing portion 4c that is disposed on the rear side of the weight portion 2c and to which the rubber worm 3 is fixed. The worm fixing portion 4c includes a head fixing portion 6c, a body fixing portion 8c, etc. having the same functions as the head fixing portion 6 and the body fixing portion 8 of the worm fixing portion 4 in the first embodiment. Therefore, the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1c is performed in the same manner as in the case of the first embodiment.

[0031] However, in this embodiment, different from the case of the first embodiment, the worm fixing portion 4c to which the rubber worm 3 is fixed is formed of a wire-shaped metal member instead of a metal plate. Also, as a portion corresponding to the weight metal plate 16 of the weight portion 2 in FIG. 1, the weight portion 2c includes a metal portion 19. The metal portion 19 is also formed of a wire-shaped metal member instead of a metal plate. That is, the weight portion 2c is integrally molded with resin using the metal portion 19 as an insert part.

[0032] Therefore, the metal portion 19 includes a hook mounting hole 12c, a fishing line connection hole 15c, and a connection hole 17c that respectively correspond to the hook mounting hole 12, the fishing line connection hole 15, and the connection hole 17 in FIG. 1, as portions where a wire-shaped metal member is bent into a semicircle and disposed outside the resin.

[0033] Also, the connection hole 17c corresponding to the connection hole 17 in the worm fixing portion 4 in FIG. 1 is also formed as a portion where a wire-shaped metal member is bent into a semicircle. However, only one connection hole 17c is formed. Therefore, the weight portion 2c and the worm fixing portion 4c are connected via one connection ring 18.

[0034] Further, the worm fixing portion 4c is provided with a positioning reinforcing plate 20 that defines the position of the front end of the worm 3 fixed to the worm fixing portion 4c and prevents the wire-like member forming the worm fixing portion 4c from deforming. The positioning reinforcing plate 20 has an elliptical shape with a plate surface shape perpendicular to the length direction of the worm fixing portion 4c, and the wire-like member forming the worm fixing portion 4c is fixed so as to vertically penetrate in the vicinity of each focal point position on the major axis thereof.

[0035] According to the present embodiment, the worm fixing portion 4c and the weight portion 2c can be easily formed using a wire. Further, since the weight portion 2c and the worm fixing portion 4c are connected via a single connecting ring 18, the worm 3 can be swung like a fry with a higher degree of freedom, attracting the attention of the target fish.

[0036] As a modification of the present embodiment, instead of the positioning reinforcing plate 20, as shown in FIG. 9, a pressing plate 21 configured to be movable (slide) along the length direction on the worm fixing portion 4c may be employed. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the worm fixing portion 4c has an annular shape extending in the front-rear direction, and a parallel portion is formed in which a portion forming the head fixing portion 6c in this annular shape and a portion facing this are parallel to each other. Further, the worm fixing portion 4c constitutes an open portion that is an open portion of the annular shape between the front end portion of the portion forming the pointed head insertion portion 9c in the annular shape and the rear end portion of the portion forming the head fixing portion 6c. The pressing plate 21 can be slid along the parallel portion between the open portion and the parallel portion.

[0037] In the annular shape, when the pressing plate 21 is located in the open portion, it is in an open state in the open portion. On the other hand, when the pressing plate 21 is located in the parallel portion, the annular shape forms a closed annular portion by the pressing plate 21 and the portion on the front side of the pressing plate 21 in the annular shape (see FIG. 9(d)). In this case, before attaching the worm 3 to the worm fixing portion 4c, the worm fixing portion 4c can be connected to an arbitrary connection destination 22 such as the weight portion 2c.

[0038] That is, in this connection, first, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the pressing plate 21 located on the head fixing portion 6c of the worm fixing portion 4c is positioned at a position (open portion) between the head fixing portion 6c and the pointed head insertion portion 9c as shown in FIG. 9(b). Next, as shown in FIG. 9(c), a connecting member 23 such as a connecting ring 18 of the weight portion 2c to which the worm fixing portion 4c is to be connected is passed through the head fixing portion 6c.

[0039] Next, as shown in FIG. 9(d), the pressing plate 21 is moved onto the head fixing portion 6c, and the worm 3 is pierced and inserted into the pointed head insertion portion 9c. Further, as shown in FIG. 9(e), the tip of the worm 3 is inserted into the head fixing portion 6c, and the pressing plate 21 is pressed by the worm 3. Thereby, while connecting the worm fixing portion 4c to an arbitrary connection destination 22, the attachment of the worm 3 is completed. In this state, the pressing plate 21 is prevented from sliding backward by the elastic worm 3.

[0040] FIG. 8 shows a jig head 1d according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, this jig head 1d includes a weight portion 2d and a worm fixing portion 4d disposed on the rear side of the weight portion 2d to which a rubber worm 3 is fixed. The worm fixing portion 4d includes a head fixing portion 6d, a body fixing portion 8d, etc., similar to the worm fixing portion 4c of the third embodiment. Therefore, the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1d is performed in the same manner as in the case of the first embodiment.

[0041] However, the jig head 1d is different from the jig head 1c of the third embodiment in that the metal portion 19 of the weight portion 2c and the worm fixing portion 4c in FIG. 6 are formed as an integrated worm fixing portion 4d formed by resin constituting the weight portion 2d, and the weight portion 2d to which the worm fixing portion 4d is fixed. That is, the portion between the rear edge of the resin portion of the weight portion 2c and the rear end surface of the positioning reinforcing plate 20 in FIG. 6 is omitted, and both sides thereof are joined.

[0042] Therefore, the function of defining the position of the front end of the worm 3 by the positioning reinforcing plate 20 in FIG. 6 and the function of preventing the worm fixing portion 4d from deforming are performed by the resin portion of the weight portion 2d.

[0043] According to the present embodiment, while ensuring the free movement of the tail portion of the worm 3, it is possible to achieve reliable fixation of the worm 3 to the jig head 1b. In addition, the attachment of the worm 3 to the jig head 1b can be easily performed.

[0044] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the worm fixing portion does not have to be formed of a single metal plate or wire, and may be formed of a pipe-shaped metal member. Further, in the worm fixing portion, the head fixing portion and the body fixing portion only need to be fixed in position, and it is not necessary for both to be connected by a fixing portion connecting portion.

[0045] Also, in FIG. 5, the fishing hooks 13 are respectively attached to the two fishing hook attachment holes 12 via split rings 14, but one large fishing hook may be attached using the two fishing hook attachment holes 12. In this case, the base end portion of the fishing hook can be supported using one of the fishing hook attachment holes 12, and the middle portion of the fishing hook can be supported using the other fishing hook attachment hole 12. Further, the weight portion is not limited to resin and may be formed using lead or the like.
