Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to fishing gear for collecting fish. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing tackle for fish collection in which a light-emitting device using a blue light emitting diode enhances a fish collecting effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a fishing tackle utilizing the property of gathering light from fish such as squid, a fishing tackle having a configuration in which a light bulb is arranged near a hook, a lure utilizing a luminescent paint, and the like are known. .

[0003]

However, the light emitted from the light source of these conventional fishing gears is white light and does not penetrate far into seawater. Therefore, since only the vicinity of the fishhook can be illuminated at random, only the effect of collecting fish only on the fish swimming near the fishhook has been obtained. As a result, a sufficient fishing effect could not be expected with the conventional fishing gear. In addition, a fishing tackle using a light bulb cannot be used continuously for a long time due to the large power consumption of the light bulb. Further, the fishing tackle generates heat by using a large power consumption light bulb. For example, when catching squid, the squid once guided by the light of the bulb and held by the fishing tackle escapes due to the temperature difference between the fishing tackle and the surrounding seawater. There was a fear.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has the following configuration.
A fishing gear for fish collection, comprising: a transparent container; and a battery and a blue light emitting diode housed in the container. According to the fishing tackle for fish collection configured in this way, the light of the blue light emitting diode (hereinafter, referred to as blue LED) used as the light source is compared with the light of other colors (red, green) constituting the three primary colors of light. Light easily reaches through the seawater and reaches far away. As a result, there is a fishing effect on a wide range of fish. Further, the light emitted from the blue light emitting diode is close to bioluminescence, and has a high fish collecting effect. In addition, since the light emitting diode has low power consumption, it can be used continuously for a long time, and since the fishing tackle does not generate heat, the fish once attracted by the fishing tackle is not stimulated to escape.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Each component of the present invention will be described below. The material of the container is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent. A transparent synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin, a silicon resin, and an epoxy resin can be used. These transparent materials are formed into a desired shape by a known method such as molding. The container can be colored as long as it does not hinder emission of light from a blue LED described below to the outside. The container is provided with a space for accommodating a later-described blue LED, a battery, and the like. Further, the inside of the container can be sealed. For example, the container is made up of two parts that can seal the contents by being connected via an O-ring or the like. The shape of the container is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, various shapes (simulated bait-like, conical, streamlined, etc.) conventionally used for lures. One end of the container is formed with a portion where the fishing line is locked. Of course, the fishing line can be locked by separately attaching a bracket or the like to the container. A fishing hook having a well-known configuration is attached to the container as needed. A weight made of metal or the like can be stored in the container or attached to the outside of the container.

[0006] The blue LED is housed in the space of the container. A blue LED is a light emitting diode having a group III nitride semiconductor layer, and has an emission wavelength of 450 nm to 500 n.
m. For example, Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. product name (TG Blue) can be used. Blue LED
Is housed in a container while being fitted in a socket to which a battery is connected. When the container is molded, the blue LED and the socket may be integrated with the container. A plurality of blue LEDs can be used.

[0007] The type of battery is not particularly limited, and a lithium battery, an alkaline dry battery, a mercury dry battery, or the like can be used. When a battery is inserted into the socket, the blue LED is energized and emits light. Of course, a separate switch may be provided to switch on / off the blue LED.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As one embodiment of the present invention, a horn for squid fishing will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a squid fishing horn 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The horn 1 for squid fishing is a main body consisting of the main body upper part 2 and the lower part 3, a blue LED
4, a socket 6 and a battery 7.

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the squid fishing horn 1. Both the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 of the main body are made of acrylic resin and are formed by molding. In this embodiment, the outer shape of the main body is streamlined. This is to reduce the resistance of water when moving underwater. As in the well-known lure shape, the shape may be similar to a small fish or the like (simulated bait-like).

A blue LED 4 is provided on an upper part 2 and a lower part 3 of the main body.
A space 10 in which the socket 6 and the battery 7 are stored is provided. In this embodiment, the blue LED 4 and the socket 6 are detachably attached to the main body. However, when the upper part 2 or the lower part 3 of the main body is molded, the blue LED 4 and the socket 6 are integrated with the upper part 2 or the lower part 3 of the main body. Can also. The upper part 2 and the lower part 3 of the main body are screwed via threaded portions 11 and 12. An O-ring 13 made of rubber is used to seal the inside of the main body. A general-purpose O-ring 13 was used.

A fishing line attaching portion 20 is formed in the upper part of the main body, and the fishing line 21 is locked to the attaching portion 20. An iron weight 8 is attached inside the lower part 3 of the main body, and a hook 5 is attached to one end. If the main body or the hook 5 has a sufficient weight, the weight 8 can be omitted. A general-purpose fishing hook 5 was used.
From the viewpoint of the weight balance of the horn 1, it is preferable to make the weight 8 and the battery 7 close to each other. From a similar point of view, more preferably, the hook 5, the weight 8, the battery 7, and the blue LED
4 in this order.

The blue LED 4 is a blue LED manufactured by Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. (product name: TG blue, emission wavelength: 465 nm or more).
475 nm, emission intensity: 350 mcd). The blue LED 4 is housed in the main body while being mounted on the socket 6. The socket 6 is a general-purpose socket. The battery 7 used was a general-purpose lithium battery. When the battery 7 is inserted into the socket 6, the blue LED 4 is energized and emits light.

The horn 1 for squid fishing constructed as described above.
According to this, squid can be effectively attracted by blue light close to bioluminescence. Further, since blue light easily passes through water, it is effective for squids swimming in a wide range of water. Further, since the power consumption of the blue LED is small, the number of times of battery replacement can be reduced, and the squid held by the squid fishing horn does not generate heat, so that the squid is not surprised and escaped.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and examples. Various modifications are included in the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims and within the scope of those skilled in the art.
