Description
WO 99/18778 PCT/KR98/00083 -1 FISHING WEIGHT FOR PREVENTING WATER POLLUTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fishing weight which is used in all types of fishing, and more particularly, to a fishing weight which is manufactured with a pure earth material, to thereby prevent water pollution.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, when reel fishing or fishing on a sea rock is implemented, a fishing weight is used to cast a fishing line which is fixed into a fishhook into the water, so that the fishhook is sunk into the water and is finally disposed at a desired position. Of course, a buoyant float is used, considering the weight of the fishing weight, to support the fishhook by using its own buoyance, such that the fishhook can float into the water. At the time, the fishing weight is generally manufactured by a lead material and has an oval shape, which may be variable upon determining the shapes thereof.
Furthermore, such the fishing weight made of the lead material 'is numerously used for a fishing net, a cultivating farm net, various kinds of WO 99/18778 PCT/KR98/00083 -2fish traps and so on, which are widely used in the whole world. As a result, the number of the fishing weight, which is sunk into the water, without recollected, can be increased geometrically.
However, since there have been recently developed fishing equipments which have a relatively. excellent durability and are well repaired at a proper time, even though a serious problem that the fishing weight made of the lead material causes water pollution has emerged over the whole world, it can be expected that the damages caused by the fishing equipments will1 be reduced. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, therefore, an attention on the problems caused from the fishing weights made of the lead material which are deserted into the water by fishermen'will be given.
Meanwhile, when the fishing is executed on the sea, river, lake, a reservoir and the like, the fishhook is often caught on a water grass, stone, a gap on the rock, or a net, which results in the cut-off of the fishing line. At the time, the fishing weight made of the lead material is deserted into the water, along with the cut-off fishing line.
In addition, after completing the fishing, it is common that fishermen cast the fishing weight made of the lead material into the water. The fishing -3weights which have been deserted into the water are continuously stacked on the bottom surface and, during a very long time period, are corroded and oxidized to thereby pollute the sea or river by heavy metals(for example, the lead material). Further, it is important that such the water pollution may cause a fishery ecosystem to be destroyed. As a result, the destruction S becomes one of hindrance causes in the development of the fishing industry and the cultivating industry on the seas along the coast or adjacent seas, river, reservoir and the like. Furthermore, this becomes one of causes of destroying a natural ecosystem on the seas along the coast or adjacent seas.
Accordingly, it is natural that the fishing weight made of the lead material which have been deserted into the water should be collected, but the collecting work is not well operated for various reasons. Therefore, as time elapses, the water pollution problem becomes more and more serious, which may be badly affected on the balance of ecosystem on the earth.
The above discussion of background art is included to explain the context of the invention. It is not to be taken as an admission that any of the material referred to was published, known or part of the common general knowledge in Australia at the priority date of any of the claims of this specification.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to a broad aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a fishing weight *which prevents environmental pollution, said method including the steps of: molding the fishing weight with a ceramic material; and heating the molding material up to a predetermined S. 15 temperature to convert the heated material into a pure earth material.
The present invention therefore provides a fishing weight for preventing environmental pollution which is manufactured with a pure earth material and even though stacked into the water, prevents water quality from being deteriorated or S. polluted, to thereby preserve an ecosystem on the earth as well as a fishery ecosystem, without any destruction.
Further, the present invention also provides a fishing weight for preventing an environmental pollution which does not necessitate the additional work of retrieving or collecting a fishing weight which is lost in the water along with a fishing line which is cut off due to the hooking onto an object into the water.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying WO 99/18778 PCTIKR98/00083 drawing in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a fishing weight. for preventing an environmental pollution constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMIBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an explanation on a manufacturing process of a fishing weight for preventing an environmental pollution according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be discussed, but explanation on the well-known functions or constructions to those skilled in the art will be excluded in this detailed description for the sake of brevity.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing a fishing weight which is manufactured with a pure earth material according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fishing weight 100 includes a hole 102 on the center portion thereof, through which a fishing line is inserted. Generally, the fishing weight 100 takes an oval shape, but may be variable to have a circular shape, a square shape, or any other shape.
WO 99/18778 PCT/KR98/00083 -6- On the other hand, the fishing weight 100 is manufactured with a pure earth material. In more detail, the fishing weight 100 is molded into a predetermined shape made of a ceramic material by means of a press means and is then put into the interior of a furnace to be heated up to a temperature of about 1300"C or more. At the time, in the fishing weight 100 made of the ceramic material, since a metal component among the ceramic composing components is molten and oxidized, a pure ceramic, i. e. a pure earth material remains on the fishing weight 100. Next, the fishing weight 100 is gradually cooled at a room temperature(in the air), such that the manufacturing process for the fishing weight 100 made of the pure earth material is completed.
If the size of the fishing weight constructed according to the present invention is adjusted not to generate a serious weight difference from a conventional fishing weight(made of a lead material), the fishing weight which is made of the pure earth material can be used without any inconvenience.
While the present invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention and is WO 99/18778 PCT/KR98/00083 7 not to be construed as limiting the invention. However, various modifications in which the fishing weight which is attached to a fishing net, a cultivating net and the like may be manufactured with a pure earth material may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
As discussed in the above, a fishing weight for preventing, an environmental pollution constructed according to the present invention is manufactured with a pure earth material and under the state where it is deserted into the water, can be finally reduced to a natural component, as a predetermined time elapses, to thereby prevent water quality from being deteriorated or polluted and further to preserve a fishery ecosystem, without any destruction.
