Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line connector having a function to restrict the movement of a fishing line, and more specifically, to a fishing line connector having a function to restrict the movement of a fishing line that prevents the leader line from breaking by stably restricting the movement of the leader line when a load is transmitted to the leader line, such as when a bite or hook setting occurs, by inserting a leader line through which rigging items such as a fishing hook, float, and weight are combined. Background Technology

[0002] In general, in all types of fishing, such as sea fishing, freshwater fishing, and jig fishing, a main line wound on a reel provided on a fishing rod and a leader line (branch line) connected to the main line through a knot and combined with fishing rigs such as a hook, float, and weight are provided.

[0003] Here, the leader line is mainly connected to the main line through a knot, and the impact and load generated during the process of a fish biting the hook or retrieving a hooked fish are transmitted to the leader line.

[0004] When shock and load are transmitted to the leader line, the knot connecting it to the main line comes undone, frequently resulting in the loss of the fish.

[0005] In addition, fishing lines often break when a strong fish is hooked or when the hook gets caught on weeds or the bottom, and if the force applied is greater, the fishing rod may break.

[0006] The above leader also provides a function to prevent such situations, and if a load or impact exceeding a certain level is transmitted, the leader breaks, thereby protecting the main line and the fishing rod.

[0007] To this end, leader lines are constructed with a tensile strength one level lower than that of the main line, or in some cases, they are made of a different material. Specifically, while the main line uses strong braided line, which tends to break easily under sudden force, leader lines are made of nylon to compensate for this. Although nylon is weaker in strength than braided line, it possesses a specific tensile strength that allows it to stretch under sudden force; consequently, it is less prone to breaking compared to the main line, serves to distribute force, and has the property of restoring its shape after stretching.

[0009] Meanwhile, as mentioned above, the leader line must limit the degree of tension caused by the fish's pulling force. If the tension of the leader line is not limited, it may be stretched beyond what is necessary and fail to return to its original state, resulting in the inconvenience of having to replace the line frequently.

[0010] In addition, as the tension increased, the strength of the leader weakened, which caused a problem where the position of the rig attached to the leader changed. Prior art literature

[0035] In addition to the above objectives, other objectives and features of the present invention will become apparent through the description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this application.

[0039] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a fishing line connector having a movement restriction function for a fishing line according to the present invention will be examined in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0041] First, the fishing line connector (1) provided with a movement restriction function for the fishing line according to the present invention comprises a passage (11) through which a leader line of the fishing line is inserted, an entrance (12) provided at each end of the passage (11) through which the fishing line enters and exits, an extension (13) extended outward from the outer surface, a tension body (10) including the extension body (10), and a joint (20) having one side coupled to the tension body (10) and the other side through which a main line of the fishing line is inserted.

[0043] The above tension body (10) is extended in the longitudinal direction and has a passage (11) inside, through which a leader line constituting a fishing line is inserted, and an entrance (12) for the fishing line is provided at each end of the passage (11).

[0044] This tension body (10) is made of a soft material having its own elastic restoring force, and a leash is inserted through the entrance (12).

[0045] At this time, each of the above-mentioned entrances (12) is formed with an inward indentation so that a neck line inserted through it comes into contact with the edge of the entrance (12), thereby wrapping around and compressing the neck line when it is pulled by a fish, thereby restricting the tension and movement of the neck line.

[0046] And the diameter of the above passage (11) is formed to correspond to the diameter of the neck strap inserted through it, and the inserted neck strap is positioned in contact with the inner surface of the passage (11).

[0048] Looking at this in more detail, the tension body (10) includes a pair of rods (14) that are each extended in the longitudinal direction and arranged symmetrically with respect to the extension part (13), each having an entrance (12) at its end, and a connecting part (15) that connects the pair of rods (14) and the extension part (13).

[0049] The above rod (14) has a predetermined length and a passage (11) is formed inside, and an entrance (12) is provided at the end to connect the passage (11) with the outside.

[0050] A pair of these rods (14) are arranged symmetrically so that a line inserted through the entrance (12) is placed in the passage (11), and then when a fish bites or gets caught on a hook, which is one of the rigs attached to the line, the line is pulled toward the fish by the movement of the fish.

[0051] When the leash is pulled, the passage (11) and the entrance (12) positioned in contact with the leash are each pulled together with the leash, compressing the outer surface of the leash and restricting the movement and tension of the leash.

[0052] Therefore, even if the leash is pulled by external pressure, it can be prevented from being stretched beyond a predetermined length, thereby minimizing the risk of the leash breaking. Additionally, by limiting the tension length of the leash, it can be returned to its original state, which can reduce the time required to replace an overstretched leash.

[0053] The reason why a leader line that has been stretched out, that is, a leader line that has not returned to its original position after being stretched out, must be replaced is that the position of the fishing rig, such as the hook, float, and weight attached to the leader line, changes from the position set by the user of the fishing.

[0054] In other words, the position of the hook or the float can change due to the change in length of the leader line, and since this affects the fishing performance, there was a problem in that when the leader line stretches and the position of the hook or float changes, the leader line must be replaced, and since the hook and float must also be replaced when replacing the leader line, the time required and the cost increased.

[0055] The present invention has the effect of reducing the time and cost required for replacing the leash by limiting the tension distance of the leash and minimizing the breakage of the leash.

[0057] Meanwhile, an extension portion (13) extending outward is further provided on the outer surface of the tension body (10), and a joint (20) described later is connected to the extension portion (13).

[0058] The extension (13) for this purpose includes a pair of stopper projections (131) symmetrically arranged at mutually spaced positions and a recessed groove (132) formed inwardly between the pair of stopper projections (131), wherein the joint (20) inserted into the recessed groove (132) comes into contact with the stopper projections (131) and its movement is restricted.

[0059] The above extension (13) is formed to have a relatively large outer diameter compared to the rod (14) to prevent the combined joint (20) from detaching, and by having a relatively large outer diameter compared to the rod (14), when the target fish bites and the leader line is pulled, the passage (11) positioned to come into contact with the leader line is pulled together with the leader line, thereby further compressing the outer surface of the leader line and stably restricting the movement and tension of the leader line.

[0060] That is, the above pair of stoppers (131) are arranged to face each other, and a recessed groove (132) is formed between them inwardly so that the first coupling part (21) of the joint (20) is coupled and maintains the coupled state.

[0062] Furthermore, the above tension body (10) is further provided with a connecting part (15) that connects the rod (14) and the extension part (13). The connecting part (15) is formed such that its diameter gradually increases as it extends from the end of the rod (14) toward the extension part (13). When the joint (20) described later is joined, the first connecting part (21) provided in the joint (20) expands and moves, after which it is joined to the recessed groove (132), thereby preventing displacement in the joined state.

[0063] At this time, the diameter of the above-mentioned connecting part (15) is formed to have a relatively larger diameter compared to the inner diameter of the first connecting part (21) of the joint (20) described later.

[0064] That is, even when placed underwater, the first connecting part (21) of the joint (20) maintains a state of being connected to the recessed groove (132) due to external factors such as the movement of currents and pressure from fish, and even if the first connecting part (21) detaches from the recessed groove (132), the inner surface of the first connecting part (21) comes into contact with and is compressed by the connecting part (15), which is formed to have a diameter relatively larger than the inner diameter of the first connecting part (21), thereby preventing the first connecting part (21) from detaching from the connecting part (15).

[0065] Additionally, as the diameter of the connecting part (15) increases toward the center, when the target fish bites and the leader line is pulled, the passage (11) positioned to come into contact with the leader line is pulled together with the leader line, thereby further compressing the outer surface of the leader line and stably restricting the movement and tension of the leader line.

[0066] In this case, as another embodiment, the diameter of the rod (14) is formed to gradually increase as it approaches the connecting part (15) to prevent the first connecting part (21) from detaching.

[0068] The joint (20) is for connecting the tension body (10) and the main line, and includes a first connecting part (21) coupled to the tension body (10), and a second connecting part (22) which is positioned adjacent to the first connecting part (21) at a predetermined distance and through which the main line of the fishing line is inserted.

[0069] These joints (20) are made of a soft material having their own elastic restoring force, and limit the tension length of the tension body (10) by returning to a predetermined length after being tensioned by external pressure and then returning by their own elastic restoring force.

[0070] In addition, during the process of the first coupling part (21) being coupled to the recessed groove (132), the inner diameter is stretched so that it can pass through the connecting part (15), and then, after being inserted into the recessed groove (132), it returns to its original position and is fixed by coming into contact with the recessed groove (132).

[0071] Here, the first coupling part (21) includes a coupling hole (211) formed through to allow the tension body (10) to be coupled, and a hooking part (212) formed in a recess with a predetermined depth on the outer side of the coupling hole (211) and hooked and supported at the end of the extension part (13).

[0072] The above coupling hole (211) is formed through to have an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the recessed groove (132), and after passing through the rod (14), it expands and passes through the connecting part (15), then is placed in the recessed groove (132), returns to its original position, and comes into contact with and is coupled to the recessed groove (132).

[0073] The above-mentioned locking portion (212) is formed with a predetermined depth on the outer side of the coupling hole (211), and is supported by contacting the end of the extension portion (13) so that the first coupling portion (21) is coupled in a state where it is in close contact with the recessed groove (132).

[0075] The second coupling part (22) is arranged adjacent to the first coupling part (21) at a predetermined distance, and a through hole (221) is provided to allow the main line to be inserted through it. Here, the shape of the second coupling part (22) and the through hole (221) may be made of the same shape and size as the first coupling part (21) and the coupling hole (211), but there are no special restrictions on the shape and size as long as the main line can be inserted through it.

[0077] As described above, the present invention has been explained by specific details such as specific components, limited embodiments, and drawings; however, this is provided merely to aid in a more comprehensive understanding of the invention, and the invention is not limited to the above embodiments. A person skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations from this description.
