PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use a float obtained by providing a main float and an underwater float with a mutually engaging part as a single float without removing the underwater float so as to prevent an entanglement in throwing a terminal tackle. SOLUTION: The main float 1 is connected to the underwater float 10 furnished with a recessed part 12 to be engaged with the main float by a lock mechanism capable of releasing a connection so as to keep both the floats in an integrated state. The lock mechanism carries out the connection by introducing the tip of a hollow central shaft 11 to be passed through and engaged with the underwater float 10 into a large-diameter tapered hole 3 formed in the main float.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floating float used mainly for sea fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing method using a combination of a main float and a floating underwater float is known in grey fishing using a bait. This fishing method, in which an underwater float is placed on a tide flow to guide a fishing hook into a sowing bait diffusion area, is recognized as a method of raising fishing results, and is widely used.

In order to prevent such a fishing device for fishing from being entangled and to be put into the sea, the applicant of the present application has proposed a float which is used when the main device and the underwater float are loosely fitted when the device is inserted. Invented and obtained a patent (No. 25
98889).

[0004]

The floats of which the present applicant has a patent and similar floats on the market can be reversed if the main float and the underwater float are separated at the time of loading the device. Because this will cause the entanglement of the device, at the time of injection, both floats are fitted by centrifugal force to make them one, and after landing, they are separated so that the function of each float is exhibited, The purpose is to use underwater floats.

The present applicant has considered expanding the range of use of such a float. If necessary, kill the function of the underwater float,
If it can be used as a general floating float or a fixed float, it is possible to enjoy fishing with different fishing methods using the same float.

[0006] Although it is possible to remove the underwater float from the thread and use the remaining main float as a floating float, this method requires more time to put on and remove the underwater float. In addition, when the underwater float is removed, the weight load of the device fluctuates, so that it is necessary to change the weight.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to use a float combined with an underwater float as one float without causing these problems.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, the main and the underwater floats, which are provided with an interfitting portion for integrating them at the time of loading the device, are attached to each other. A lock mechanism capable of releasing the connection is provided.

The locking mechanism is a press-fit type, a screw fitting type,
Various forms such as a pinning method are conceivable. Above all, the underwater float has a detachable hollow center shaft that penetrates from behind and locks on the underwater float, and the tip of the center shaft through which the yarn passes is pressed into the through hole of the main float to press the main float. It can be said that a lock mechanism having a structure for connecting the underwater float with the underwater float is one of the preferable ones.

[0010]

[Function] When the main float and the underwater float are connected using a lock mechanism, the two members are kept in an integrated state even after the device is put in.
It is the same as a normal floating or fixed float. Further, when the connection by the lock mechanism is released, the main float and the underwater float are separated after the device is inserted, and the unique function of each float is exhibited.

Further, since the form of the float is changed without removing the underwater float, the weight load of the device does not fluctuate, and measures such as replacement of the weight are not required.

In the lock mechanism described as a preferable example in the preceding paragraph, if the hollow center shaft included in the underwater float is pulled out, deterioration of the separability between the main float and the underwater float is reliably prevented. Since the hollow central shaft passes through the inside of the thread, there is no need to worry about it being lost even if it is pulled out.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a float according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The float shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes an upside-down teardrop-shaped main float 1, a cup-shaped underwater float 10,
And a hollow central shaft 11 included in the underwater float.

The main float 1 has a through hole 2 at the center thereof through which the yarn A passes. The rear part of the through hole 2 has a hollow central shaft 11
And a large-diameter tapered hole 3 having a tapered taper that constitutes a lock mechanism in combination with the above. The material of the main float 1 is
Anything that floats on the water surface, such as a tree or a synthetic resin, may be used. If the surfaces and the inner surfaces of the holes 2 and 3 are formed and reinforced by a hard synthetic resin or the like, the inside can be formed of a low-strength material such as a foamed resin or can be hollow.

It is preferable that the underwater float 10 has a specific gravity enough to be immersed and floated in water, and the material thereof may be a synthetic resin, a karoku tree such as black candy, or a wood impregnated with resin to increase the specific gravity. .

The underwater float 10 has a main float 1 at its tip.
Has a concave portion 12 into which the rear portion fits, and has a shaft hole 13 at the center. In addition, the rear outer surface has a cut 14 of one character and a drain hole 15 scattered around the shaft hole 13, and further has a vertical groove 16 and a horizontal groove 17 on the outer periphery.

The presence of the drain hole 15 improves the separation of the main float 1 by water entering through the hole at the time of landing, and the water in the recess 12 when the device is raised from the water. Discharge is better.

The vertical groove 16 and the horizontal groove 17 serve to prevent slippage when the underwater float is pinched, and the horizontal groove 17 also has a function of increasing the surface area for receiving the tide and improving the riding on the tide. The holes 15, the vertical grooves 16, and the horizontal grooves 17 are merely preferred elements and may be omitted.

The hollow central shaft 11 has a thickness that allows it to be inserted into the shaft hole 13, and the outer periphery of the distal end is tapered.
At the rear of the central shaft 11, a horizontally long knob 18 is provided to enter the cut 14. The knob 18 is inserted into the cut 14, and the hollow central shaft is inserted into the large-diameter tapered hole 3 of the main float fitted in the concave portion 12. The main float 1 and the underwater float 10 are connected by press-fitting the tip of 11. A yarn A is passed through the inside of the hollow central shaft 11.

FIG. 3 shows a use state of the float of FIGS. 1 and 2. A stopper B and a float stopper C are attached to the warp yarn A. D is a harness connected to the line A, and a fishing hook is attached to the tip thereof.

When the main float 1 and the underwater float 10 are connected by press-fitting the hollow center shaft 11, as shown by a solid line in FIG.
Both floats 1 and 10 float together on the surface of the water, and serve as a mark for distinguishing the hit of the fish. The figure shows the use state as a floating float, but when the float is stopped before and after the float is stopped, the floating float becomes a fixed float.

When the hollow center shaft 11 is pulled out, the main float 1 and the underwater float 10 can be separated. After landing, the underwater float 10 separates from the main float 1 as shown by a chain line.
Floating in the water and riding the tide. At this time, the hollow center shaft 11
Since it is conceivable that the tip of the shaft fits into the shaft hole 13, it is preferable that the insertion of the center shaft 11 into the shaft hole 13 also requires a press input. In this way, when the underwater float 10 is used while being separated, the center shaft 11 does not fit into the large-diameter hole 3 of the main float, and the separability does not deteriorate.

Also in this case, the main float 1 is provided with a float stopper C
Floating on the surface of the water, which serves as a landmark to see the fish hit, but there is also a fishing method that gradually lowers the device without using the float stopper C. it can.

4 to 8 show another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the main float 1 and the underwater float 10 may be fixed by providing a screw fitting portion 4 on both.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, rubber 5 is attached to a fitting portion on the main float 1 side or the underwater float 10 side.
The rubber 5 may be compressed to fit both floats, and the restoring force of the rubber may increase the frictional force of the fitting surface to maintain the fitted state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the locking pin 6 is removed and inserted, and the main floating 1 and the underwater floating 10
May be connected. In the structure shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable that the disengaged pin 6 is prevented from coming off by either the underwater float 10 or the main float 1 and remains.

FIG. 8 shows a float in which an underwater float 10 is provided with an integral hollow center shaft 18 and the shaft 18 is loosely fitted in a large-diameter hole 7 provided at the rear of the main float 1. The set screw 8 is screwed into the body of the main float 1 to stop the movement of the central shaft 18 with the set screw 8, and the object of the invention can be achieved even with such a lock mechanism. The set screw 8 is preferably made of a resin that is light and does not corrode.

[0029]

As described above, the float of the present invention is
The main float and the underwater float are connected so that they can be maintained in a unified state, so that the two floats can be combined into one without removing the underwater float and replacing the weight. It can be used for different fishing methods by making it separable and exhibiting the original function of the underwater float.

A lock mechanism constituted by a removable hollow center shaft included in the underwater float and a tapered hole into which the shaft is press-fitted, etc., has a separation property of the main float and the underwater float by additionally providing the lock mechanism. No deterioration occurs.
