Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing hook holder. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a tackle connector for soft lures (hereinafter referred to as connector). This connector has a loop-shaped portion for threading a fishing hook through, a body portion for inserting into a soft lure, and a slip-out prevention portion for preventing the body portion inserted into the soft lure from slipping out toward the loop-shaped portion.

[0003] The loop portion is formed by bending a wire made of a metal material. The inner diameter of the loop portion is larger than the outer diameter of the fishhook. The loop portion is covered with a heat-shrinkable tube.

[0004] When a fisherman uses the connector, he first pierces the loop portion into the soft lure and exposes it from the soft lure, then passes the fishhook through the heat shrink tubing and inserts it into the loop portion, thereby holding the fishhook to the connector. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3231606 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The loop-shaped portion of the connector described in Patent Document 1 is arc-shaped and has a width greater than that of the body portion. Therefore, a relatively large through-hole corresponding to the shape of the loop-shaped portion is formed in the soft lure when the loop-shaped portion is pierced. Around such a through-hole, the strength of the soft lure is reduced, making the soft lure prone to cracks. To prevent such cracks from occurring, it is preferable to make the through-hole smaller. However, because the loop-shaped portion is formed by bending a metal material, there is a natural limit to how small the size of the loop-shaped portion can be.

[0007] Furthermore, in the connector described in Patent Document 1, the loop portion is arc-shaped, which makes it difficult to align the loop portion when piercing the soft lure. As a result, it may be difficult to attach the connector to the soft lure in the correct position. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The fishhook holder for solving the above problem is configured to hold a fishhook to a soft lure and is made of a resin material, and comprises a base configured to contact the outer surface of the soft lure, and a tapered shaft that protrudes from the base and is configured to pass through the soft lure, the shaft having a base end connected to the base, a tip end located on the opposite side of the axial direction of the shaft from the base end, an insertion hole located between the base end and the tip end and configured to allow the fishhook to be inserted, and a mark located between the insertion hole and the tip end and indicating a position that serves as a guide when the portion including the tip end is cut off from the shaft.

[0009] According to this configuration, by piercing the soft lure with the shaft, the portion of the shaft including the tip is exposed to the outside of the soft lure. In this state, the portion including the tip is cut off from the shaft at the position of the mark using a cutting tool or the like. Then, by inserting the fishhook through the insertion hole, the fishhook is held in the soft lure via the fishhook holder.

[0010] According to the above configuration, the shaft is tapered, which makes it easier for anglers to visually check the direction in which to insert the shaft into the soft lure, allowing anglers to easily attach the fishhook holder to the soft lure in the correct position.

[0011] Furthermore, with the above-mentioned configuration, since the fishhook holder is made of resin, the width of the shaft portion including the insertion hole can be reduced. Also, the shaft is tapered. These factors allow the hole formed in the soft lure by the shaft being inserted to be smaller.

[0012] Furthermore, with the above-described configuration, by setting the size (minimum width) of the insertion hole slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the fishhook, the shaft elastically deforms so that the insertion hole widens when the fishhook is inserted. The restoring force of the shaft then presses the inner surface of the insertion hole against the fishhook, thereby improving the holding force of the fishhook holder on the fishhook.

[0013] Furthermore, with the above-mentioned configuration, by cutting off the portion of the shaft including the tip, the amount of the shaft protruding from the soft lure is reduced, which prevents the shaft from getting in the way when using the soft lure and also prevents the shaft from causing discomfort to fish.

[0014] In the above-mentioned fishhook holder, the mark is preferably a narrowed portion that is thinner than a portion adjacent to the mark in the axial direction of the shaft. According to this configuration, the mark is formed by a constricted portion, which makes it easier for the angler to see the mark and align the cutting edge of the cutting tool with the mark, so that the angler can easily cut off the part including the tip from the shaft at the position of the mark.

[0015] In the above-mentioned fishing hook holder, it is preferable that the base has a plate-shaped base body and a protrusion protruding from the base body, and that the protrusion protrudes in the same direction as the shaft protrudes from the base body and is configured to be embedded inside the soft lure.

[0016] With this configuration, the angler can easily pierce the shaft into the soft lure by pressing the base body toward the outer surface of the soft lure. At this time, the protrusion is embedded inside the soft lure. This prevents the fishhook holder from rotating around the shaft relative to the soft lure. Therefore, the fishhook can be accurately positioned relative to the soft lure. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the present invention, the hole formed in the soft lure can be made small, and the fishhook holder can be attached to the soft lure in the correct position. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0019] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a fishhook holder will be described with reference to FIGS. (fishhook holder 10) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a fishhook holder 10 (hereinafter referred to as holder 10) is used to hold a fishhook 201 (see FIG. 5) on a soft lure 100, which is an artificial bait.

[0020] 1, the holder 10 has a base 20 and a shaft 30 protruding from the base 20. The base 20 and the shaft 30 are integrally formed. The holder 10 is made of a resin material such as polypropylene (PP).

[0021] Hereinafter, the axial direction of the shaft 30 will be simply referred to as the axial direction. (Base 20) 1, 3, and 4, the base 20 has a base body 21 and a plurality of protrusions 22 protruding from the base body 21. The base 20 has, for example, two protrusions 22. The base body 21 is configured to come into contact with the outer surface of the soft lure 100. Each protrusion 22 is configured to be embedded inside the soft lure 100.

[0022] The base body 21 has a plate shape. More specifically, the base body 21 has a rectangular plate shape with long and short sides. The base body 21 is curved in an arc shape toward the protruding direction of the shaft 30 on both sides of the long side.

[0023] The two protrusions 22 protrude from both ends of the base body 21 in the long side direction in the same direction as the protrusion of the shaft 30. The two protrusions 22 are provided on opposite sides of the shaft 30. Each protrusion 22 is tapered.

[0024] (axis 30) The shaft 30 is configured to pass through the soft lure 100. The shaft 30 protrudes from the center of the base body 21. The shaft 30 is tapered. The shaft 30 is generally cylindrical in shape.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the shaft 30 has a base end 30a connected to the base body 21 and a tip end 30b located on the opposite side of the base end 30a in the axial direction. The shaft 30 has an insertion hole 31 configured to allow the fishhook 201 (see FIG. 5) to be inserted therethrough. The insertion hole 31 is located between the base end 30a and the tip end 30b. The insertion hole 31 passes through the shaft 30 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The axial direction of the insertion hole 31, i.e., the opening direction of the insertion hole 31, coincides with the direction of the short sides of the base body 21. The insertion hole 31 has an elliptical shape that is long in the axial direction when viewed from the front.

[0026] The shaft 30 is provided with two annular portions 32 located on opposite sides of the insertion hole 31 in the axial direction. Each annular portion 32 protrudes outward from the shaft 30 and is provided around the entire circumference of the shaft 30.

[0027] The shaft 30 is positioned between the insertion hole 31 and the tip 30b, and has a mark 33 that indicates a position that serves as a guide when the portion including the tip 30b from the shaft 30 is cut off. The mark 33 is a constricted portion 34 that is thinner in the axial direction than the portion adjacent to the mark 33. The constricted portion 34 has a smaller diameter than the portion adjacent to it in the axial direction. Therefore, the constricted portion 34 is thinner in the axial direction than the portion adjacent to it, and is therefore more fragile than the portion adjacent to it.

[0028] (How to use the holder 10) Next, a method of using the holder 10 will be described. First, an example of a soft lure 100 to which the holder 10 is applied will be described.

[0029] 2, the soft lure 100 has a flattened shape that resembles, for example, the shape of a fish. The soft lure 100 has a cylindrical body 101 and a plurality of pleats 102 that protrude from the body 101 toward the outer periphery.

[0030] The cross section of the body 101 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is, for example, elliptical. The multiple pleats 102 are provided at intervals from one another in the longitudinal direction of the body 101. Each pleat 102 is provided around the entire circumference of the body 101. Therefore, the soft lure 100 has a bellows shape.

[0031] Hereinafter, for convenience, the long axis direction and the short axis direction in the cross-sectional shape of the body 101 will be simply referred to as the long axis direction and the short axis direction, respectively. Also, the front side and the rear side of the soft lure 100 will be simply referred to as the front side and the rear side, respectively. The length direction, long axis direction, and short axis direction of the body 101 are perpendicular to one another.

[0032] 3 and 4, when attaching the holder 10 to the soft lure 100, first, the shaft 30 is thrust into the outer surface of the body 101 to penetrate the body 101. The shaft 30 penetrates the part of the body 101 between two adjacent pleats 102. The shaft 30 penetrates the body 101 in the minor axis direction.

[0033] Next, the holder 10 is pushed into the soft lure 100 until the base body 21 comes into contact with the outer surface of the body 101. At this time, it is preferable that the long side direction of the base body 21 coincides with the long axis direction. In other words, it is preferable that the opening direction of the insertion hole 31 coincides with the length direction of the body 101. At this time, the base 20 prevents the holder 10 from coming off the soft lure 100.

[0034] 4, when base body 21 is pushed in until it contacts the outer surface of body 101, two protrusions 22 penetrate body 101. As a result, two protrusions 22 are embedded inside body 101.

[0035] When the base body 21 is in contact with the outer surface of the body 101, the portion of the shaft 30 where the insertion hole 31 is provided is located inside the body 101. In addition, the mark 33 is located outside the body 101, between two adjacent pleats 102.

[0036] Next, a cutting tool (not shown) or the like is used to cut off the portion including tip 30b from shaft 30 at the position of mark 33. In Figure 4, the portion cut off from shaft 30 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

[0037] Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a fishhook 201 with a fishing line 200 tied thereto is pierced into a portion of the body 101 that is forward of the holder 10 and inserted into the insertion hole 31. Thereafter, the tip of the fishing hook 201 is exposed from the rear part of the body 101 behind the holder 10.

[0038] As described above, the fishhook 201 is passed through the body 101 and inserted into the insertion hole 31, whereby the fishhook 201 is held by the soft lure 100. The operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0039] By piercing the shaft 30 into the soft lure 100, the portion of the shaft 30 including the tip 30b is exposed to the outside of the soft lure 100. In this state, the portion including the tip 30b is cut off from the shaft 30 at the position of the mark 33 using a cutting tool or the like. Then, the fishhook 201 is inserted into the insertion hole 31, and the fishhook 201 is held to the soft lure 100 via the holder 10.

[0040] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The resin holder 10 comprises a base 20 configured to come into contact with the outer surface of the soft lure 100, and a tapered shaft 30 configured to protrude from the base 20 and penetrate the soft lure 100. The shaft 30 has a base end 30a connected to the base 20 and a tip end 30b located on the opposite side of the shaft 30 from the base end 30a in the axial direction of the shaft 30. The shaft 30 has an insertion hole 31 located between the base end 30a and the tip end 30b and configured to allow the fishhook 201 to be inserted therethrough. The shaft 30 has a mark 33 located between the insertion hole 31 and the tip end 30b and indicating a position that serves as a guide when the portion including the tip end 30b is cut from the shaft 30.

[0041] With this configuration, the shaft 30 is tapered, which makes it easier for the angler to visually confirm the direction when piercing the shaft 30 into the soft lure 100. This allows the angler to easily attach the holder 10 to the soft lure 100 in the correct position.

[0042] Furthermore, with the above configuration, because holder 10 is made of resin, the width dimension of the portion of shaft 30 that includes insertion hole 31 can be reduced. Also, shaft 30 is tapered. For these reasons, the hole that is formed in soft lure 100 when shaft 30 is inserted can be made smaller.

[0043] Furthermore, with the above configuration, by setting the size (minimum width) of the insertion hole 31 slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the fishhook 201, the shaft 30 is elastically deformed so that the insertion hole 31 widens when the fishhook 201 is inserted. Then, the restoring force of the shaft 30 presses the inner surface of the insertion hole 31 against the fishhook 201, thereby improving the holding force of the holder 10 on the fishhook 201.

[0044] Furthermore, according to the above configuration, by cutting off the portion including tip 30b from shaft 30, the amount of shaft 30 protruding from soft lure 100 is reduced. This prevents shaft 30 from getting in the way when using soft lure 100, and also prevents it from causing discomfort to fish.

[0045] (2) The mark 33 is a constricted portion 34 that is thinner than the portion adjacent to the mark 33 in the axial direction. According to this configuration, the mark 33 is formed by the constricted portion 34, which makes it easier for the angler to see the mark 33 and align the position of the cutting edge of the cutting tool with the mark 33. Therefore, the angler can easily cut off the portion including the tip 30b from the shaft 30 at the position of the mark 33.

[0046] (3) The base 20 has a base body 21 and two protrusions 22 protruding from the base body 21. Each protrusion 22 protrudes in the same direction as the shaft 30 protrudes from the base body 21 and is configured to be embedded inside the soft lure 100.

[0047] With this configuration, an angler can easily pierce the shaft 30 into the soft lure 100 by pressing the base body 21 toward the outer surface of the soft lure 100. At this time, each protrusion 22 is embedded inside the soft lure 100. This prevents the holder 10 from rotating around the shaft 30 relative to the soft lure 100. Therefore, the positioning of the fishhook 201 relative to the soft lure 100 can be accurately performed.

[0048] (4) The base body 21 is in the shape of a rectangular plate having long and short sides. With this configuration, when an angler uses the holder 10 for the soft lure 100, the angler can easily position the base 20 between two adjacent pleats 102 by aligning the short side direction of the base main body 21 with the length direction of the body 101. By positioning the base 20 between the two pleats 102, the base 20 becomes less visible, and therefore it is possible to prevent the fish from feeling uncomfortable.

[0049] (5) The opening direction of the insertion hole 31 coincides with the direction of the short side of the base body 21 . With this configuration, the angler can estimate the opening direction of the insertion hole 31 by checking the posture of the base body 21. This makes it easier to insert the fishhook 201 into the insertion hole 31 located inside the body 101.

[0050] <Example of change> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0051] The opening direction of the insertion hole 31 may coincide with the long side direction of the base body 21. In this case, in the holder 10 attached to the soft lure 100, the opening direction of the insertion hole 31 coincides with the long axis direction of the body 101. Therefore, the fishhook 201 penetrates the body 101 from one side to the other in the long axis direction.

[0052] The base body 21 may have a shape that is not curved, such as a flat plate that extends in a plane. The base body 21 may be in the shape of a disk or a polygonal plate.

[0053] The base body 21 may be provided with a mark indicating the opening direction of the insertion hole 31 . The base 20 may have one protrusion 22 or three or more protrusions 22.

[0054] The protrusions 22 may be omitted from the base 20. The mark 33 may be a groove, a protrusion, a pattern, a colored portion, or the like provided on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 30. In short, the mark 33 may be anything that can be seen by an angler.

[0055] The insertion hole 31 does not have to penetrate the shaft 30 when the fishhook 201 is not inserted. For example, the insertion hole 31 may be closed by a thin film that is either integral with the shaft 30 or separate from it. In this case, the fishhook 201 penetrates the thin film, thereby inserting the fishhook 201 into the insertion hole 31.

[0056] The holder 10 may be applied to various soft lures different from the soft lure 100. In this case, the attitude of the holder 10 relative to the soft lure may be changed as appropriate by the angler. [Explanation of symbols]
