Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lure having performances equal to those of a wooden lure or higher than them, readily producible and suitable for mass production and to provide a method for producing the same. SOLUTION: This lure is obtained by kneading fine hollow glass beads with a resin, solidifying the kneaded material to give a collapsed body as a core material, fixing a lip, eyes, and the like, to the core material and coloring the surface of the core material.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure as a fishing lure and a method for producing the lure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Metals, plastics, and woods are mainly used as lure materials that resemble fish shapes used at present. Each material has different properties and is used for different purposes.

[0003] Lumber made of balsa and the like has buoyancy itself, and lures made from it as a core material are more peculiar in water than plastic lures, despite the labor and time required to make them. It is very popular for doing things.

[0004]

However, since wooden lures have water absorbency, they absorb water during long-term use and cause deterioration of the material. Therefore, in order to have water resistance, coating such as dipping with cellulose cement or the like is required. Work had to be done. This had to be done each time the wood was cut for adjustment.

[0005] In addition, fine operations such as mounting of eye fittings, insertion of core rods of wires for connecting the eye fittings, insertion of weights, and bonding of split wooden cores have been required. In addition, since wood is a natural material, there are subtle differences in specific gravity and the like, and it has been difficult to produce one having the same performance.

On the other hand, many plastic lures have a hollow structure, and attention must be paid to maintaining their airtightness. Of course, if water got inside, it could not be used. In addition, it was not possible to fine-tune by shaving due to the nature of the material.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a lure which has performance equal to or higher than that of wood, is easy to manufacture, and is suitable for mass production.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a core is made of an inner solid body obtained by solidifying fine hollow glass beads of about 0.1 mm in diameter with resin, an eye is attached, and a necessary pattern on the surface is colored. The present invention provides a fishing lure and a method of manufacturing the same.

[0009]

According to the present invention, it is possible to produce an internal substance having an arbitrary specific gravity of 0.5 to 1 by changing the mixing ratio of the hollow glass beads and the resin, so that the weight distribution necessary for the intended movement is obtained. You can also make lures.

[0010] Regarding the manufacturing process, a pair of left and right hollow glass beads joined with a resin is filled with resin, and before hardening, a core wire and a weight to which an eye is connected are set in a predetermined place. The required number of lures of the same shape can be easily manufactured by a method of removing the mold after curing.

Further, since a material block in which hollow glass beads and resin are kneaded together and hardened can be cut and perforated in the same manner as wood, a lure can be manufactured in the same manner as wood.

[0012]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the embodiment. This lure is a small fish artificial bait, in which hollow glass beads and a solid body 1 made by twisting resin and a plastic lip 2 are integrated, and a fishing line is provided. A core wire 5 connecting an eye 3 for attaching the hook and an eye 4 for attaching the hook is embedded in the solid body.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show a split mold for making a lure as shown in FIG. 1. The mold may be made of wood, plastic or metal. In the case of, a replica may be taken from the master lure.

In any case, the mold has a recess 6 into which a solid material obtained by kneading a hollow bead and a resin, a slit 8 into which the lip 2 is fitted, a recess 7 into which the eye is fitted, and a groove 9 for allowing excess material to escape. Is provided.

A method of manufacturing a lure using the above-described mold will be described. A lip 2 made of a material which is well coated with a release agent on the inner surfaces of both molds and which adheres well to a solid resin is inserted into a slit 8 of the mold A. Then, the solid material is poured into the recess 6, and the core wire 5 connecting the eye is set in place. (Fig. 3)
Weights can be set if necessary.

On the other hand, a solid material is poured into the mold B. The amount of material to be put into each mold should be larger than the upper surface of the mold so as not to be damaged at the time of joining.

[0017] Both halves are formed so that the lip that has protruded onto the mold A while the material of the solid substance in both halves is still fluid before being hardened is just fitted into the slit for the lip of the mold B. The excess material is discharged from the mold through the groove 9.

After the material has hardened to some extent, the lure body is removed from the mold, finished by removing burrs, waited for it to sufficiently harden, and the surface is painted and a fish pattern is drawn to complete the product.

For the solid material, hollow glass beads and a resin are mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio so as to obtain a predetermined specific gravity in advance. In some cases, prepare materials with different specific gravity,
The head and tail or back and abdomen of the mold can be filled with different specific gravity materials.

[0020]

The fishing lure of the present invention having a solid body formed by solidifying the hollow glass beads with resin has a performance equal to or higher than that of a lure made of wood, and can easily produce the same performance of the same shape in a short time. Lures can be provided at low prices.
