Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure that is a fishing lure, and more particularly to a light emitting lure having a light emitting function effective for attracting fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In lure fishing using a lure, a lure is manipulated as if it were a living small fish, thereby inviting a target fish that eats the small fish to catch it. This lure fishing is based on the type of target fish, fishing conditions,
It is a systematic fishing that makes full use of tools called tackles in consideration of factors such as seasons, time zones, weather, etc., and what kind of lure and what action the target fish is interested in. In particular, it is important that the lure that is a fake bait is devised to induce the interest and appetite of the target fish. The emphasis is on running. As a function for this purpose, a behavior of attracting the target fish is generated by being drawn to the line, and at the same time, the target fish is attracted by generating light reflection, swimming sound, and the like.

[0003] Reflection of light is effective in attracting fish, but the effect of a lure moving underwater is reduced because the incidence of natural light is reduced. In addition, natural light cannot be used in the time zone from dawn and dusk where fishing results are most expected. In order to enhance the fish-collecting effect by light regardless of such a situation change, a light-emitting lure equipped with a light-emitting body has been developed. Some luminous bodies use luminescence due to a chemical reaction, but in order to obtain a stable luminous state, a luminous luer in which a battery and a light emitting diode that emits light using the battery as a power source are often used as a luminous lure.

The light emitting lure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 53-142485, and includes a battery 48 and a light emitting diode which emits light using the battery 48 in a fish-shaped case imitating a small fish. In order to accommodate 44, a fish-shaped case is formed so that it can be divided into a head portion 41 and a tail portion 42, and hooks 43 are hung on the head portion 41 and the tail portion 42, respectively. The head 41 and the tail 42 are configured to be integrated by a screwing structure. Therefore, in order to replace the battery 48 or perform the operation of switching the light emitting diode 44 on and off, the head 41 is required. The operation of unscrewing the 41 and the tail portion 42 and attaching and detaching the battery 48 is involved, but not only takes time to loosen and tighten the screw, but also rotates the tail portion 42 with the hook 43 suspended. The hook 43 during the work.
In such a case, there is a problem that the finger may be hurt or the hook 43 may be entangled with the clothes.

In order to solve this problem, the present inventors hold a battery 4 and a light emitting diode 5 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 in order to replace the battery and to turn on / off the light emitting diode. Japanese Patent Application No. 10-006689 discloses a light emitting lure having a structure in which the closed lid portion 3 is inserted into and removed from the main body portion 2.
No. proposed. With this structure, the work of replacing the battery 4 and turning on / off the light emitting diode 5 can be performed quickly and easily. Further, the lid 3 to which the hook 6 is not attached can be attached and detached without a large action of the finger as in the screwing operation.
The user can easily and safely perform the replacement of the battery 4 and the operation of turning on / off the light-emitting diode 5 without scratching the finger or causing the clothes to become entangled with the clothes.

[0006]

However, in the structure in which the battery and the light-emitting body are accommodated in the fish-shaped case by inserting and removing the battery and the light-emitting body, the main body 2 is formed to be divided right and left from the longitudinal center line of the fish-shaped shape. Each case was bonded together with an adhesive to be integrated. In this bonding structure, when a gap is generated between the joints, there is a problem in waterproofness that water enters into the inside and damages an electric circuit.

In the structure in which the cover 3 is inserted into and removed from the main body 2, when the cover 3 is attached to the main body 2,
A spring member 13 for locking the lid 3 to the main body 2 is provided to prevent the lid 3 from easily falling off. When the cover 3 is detached from the main body 2, it is necessary to pull the cover 3 out of the main body 2 against the spring pressure of the spring member 13. There was a problem that attachment and detachment were not easy.

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a light emitting lure in which a fish-shaped case is integrally formed to improve waterproofness and facilitate replacement and replacement of batteries.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a light emitting lure in which a battery and a luminous body which emits light by using the battery as a power source are housed in a fish-shaped case formed in a pseudo fish shape. The fish-shaped case is formed by integrating the left and right surfaces of the pseudo-fish shape to form a space for accommodating the battery and the luminous body therein, and by resin molding so that this space is open to the outside. And a battery holder which holds the battery and the luminous body and is inserted into and removed from the body case through an opening facing the outside of the space.

According to this configuration, since the main body case is formed by resin molding into a left and right integrated shape, there is no reduction in waterproofness seen in the conventional configuration in which the left and right cases are bonded and integrated. The waterproofness in the case accommodating the is reliably achieved.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1B, showing a state in which the respective components are mounted on the main body case 21 having the above-described configuration. A sleeve 32 is attached to the entrance of the battery housing space 50 of the main body case 21 to improve the fitting of the battery holder 22 inserted into the battery housing space 50, and the release button 30 is inserted into the button housing hole 52. Insert the weight covers 31a, 31b
When the release button 30 is attached, the release button 30
It is mounted in the up and down direction within 2. The battery holder 22 holding the battery 23 and the light emitting diode 24 is inserted into the battery housing space 50 of the main body case 21.

A resilient latch plate (locking member) 28 is mounted in the rear portion of the battery holder 22. When the battery holder 22 is inserted into the main body case 21, the tip end of the latch plate 28 faces downward. The battery holder 22 is urged by the elasticity and slides on the flat surface of the tail portion of the main body case 21.
When the button reaches the insertion end, the button receiving hole 5
2 and comes into contact with the release button 30 mounted in a floating state in the button receiving hole 52. In this state, the distal end of the latch plate 28 is elastically urged so that the button receiving hole 5
2, the battery holder 22 does not fall out of the main body case 21 and does not fall out of the main body case 21 when handling the light emitting lure. To release the battery holder 22 from the main body case 21, press the release button 30 and the latch plate 28
Of the battery holder 22 is pushed out from the button receiving hole 52, so that the battery holder 22 can be freely pulled out by releasing the lock.

The battery 2 is located at the center of the battery holder 22.
The battery 23 of the light emitting unit 25 in which the battery 23 and the light emitting diode 24 are integrated is inserted and held therein as shown in FIG.

The light emitting unit 25 is, as shown in FIG.
The light emitting diode 24 is mounted on a holder 37 having a cylindrical portion into which the battery 23 is inserted on one side and a lead supporting portion for supporting the plus lead 53 and the minus lead 54 on the other side. And a tube 39 for covering the light emitting diode 24 on the cap 38. The light-emitting diode 24 is mounted on the holder 37 by connecting the anode lead 55 of the light-emitting diode 24 to the plus lead 53 supported by the holder 37 and the cathode lead 56 of the light-emitting diode 24 to the minus lead 54, respectively. This is done by joining by welding or soldering. With this configuration, the light emitting unit 25 is formed compact, and the light emitting diode 24 is stably held at a predetermined position.

When a light emitting lure is used, FIG.
As shown in (a), the battery 23 is connected to its negative terminal 23.
When inserted into the holder 37 from the side b, the plus lead 53 contacts the battery case 23a, which is the plus terminal of the battery 24, the minus lead 54 contacts the minus terminal 23b, and the light emission joined to the plus lead 53 and the minus lead 54. The diode 24 lights up. On the other hand, when the light emitting lure is not used, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the battery 23 is inserted into the holder 37 from the side of the battery case 23a, the electrical connection between the battery 23 and the light emitting diode 24 is lost. Therefore, the light emitting diode 24 does not light up. Since the battery 23 uses a lithium battery, the continuous lighting time is long. However, when the battery 23 is not used to prevent wasteful battery consumption, it is desirable to frequently load the battery 23 in a direction in which the light emitting diode 24 does not light. Since the battery holder 22 can be easily removed from the main body case 21, the direction in which the battery 23 is loaded can be easily changed.

The light emitting unit 25 is held by the battery holder 22 by inserting the battery 23 into the battery insertion hole 33 of the battery holder 22. When the battery holder 22 holding the light emitting unit 25 in which the battery 23 is inserted in the direction in which the light emitting diode 24 is turned on is inserted into the main body case 21, the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained, and the device can be used as a light emitting lure. As shown in FIG. 3, an O-ring 35 is fitted in a groove formed in a circumferential direction of a neck portion of the battery holder 22 to be inserted into the main body case 21. Can be strengthened to prevent water from entering.

When the light emitting diode 24 is turned on, the light from the light emitting diode 24 is reflected downward by the reflecting surface 36 formed in the front of the battery accommodating space 50 of the main body case 21. At the same time as the area extending from the lower part of both sides where the sex is left to the front of the abdomen emits light, the eyeballs 34 attached to both sides emit light. When both sides of the lure glow in this way, it is easy to be recognized by distant fish on the side, and with a hopper type lure that moves near the water surface, it is also recognized by fish below by the light emission of the abdomen It is easy to be. Because fish have eyes on both sides of the head, they often see each other in monocular vision rather than looking at one with both eyes, and in this monocular state the things in the lateral direction are clear Although it does not look like, it can search a wide range of movements sensitively. This monocular vision is a state of action vision in which an enemy is searched for food, and the light of the light emitting lure of this configuration is recognized from a distance by the action vision. Therefore, the light-emitting lure is more visible to fish than a normal lure.

In particular, in a time zone where it is easy to obtain fishing results for several hours from dawn and sunset, a normal lure is hard to be visually recognized, but a light emitting lure exerts an effective fish collecting property by its light emission.

A fish that is interested in what has been caught by this behavioral vision, approaches the body and enters into the visual field of both eyes, determines that it is a bait, and approaches to start tracking. In the state of tracking the moving light emitting lure, the fish looks at the light emitting lure from the rear, so the light emission on the head side of the light emitting lure shines weakly from behind, giving a sense of strangeness to the approaching fish It does not become strong light. The pursued fish does not feel uncomfortable even when the luminous lure is clearly recognized by the morphological vision, and is caught by the hook 27 when catching a prey.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, the simulated fish-shaped main body case is integrally formed on the left and right sides, so that it is highly waterproof and has a light emitting lure constructed by housing the electric circuit structure therein. Performance is ensured. In addition, the battery holder holding the battery and the light-emitting body is not locked and locked to the main body case and does not fall off, and can be easily detached from the main body case by operating the unlock button. Can be easily operated to switch on / off. Furthermore, since the light emitting unit for holding the battery and the light emitting body is compactly formed and the holding of the light emitting body is stable, the space for housing in the main body case is reduced, and the light emitting lure can withstand rough handling. Is configured.
