Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tackle case for organizing and storing small items used for fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When fishing, a fisherman must prepare various types of tackles and carry them with him. Specifically, for example, in surf fishing and the like, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of different types of needles, buffing rubber, and other small items in advance and carry them.

Therefore, a tackle case 1 as shown in FIG. 6 has been conventionally provided. This tackle case 1
The inside is divided into a plurality of storage chambers 2, and a lid 3 that can be opened and closed is provided. The fisherman stocks necessary tackles (fishing hooks, rubber for stopping, weights, shimori balls, etc.) in each storage chamber 2 in advance, and opens the lid 3 to take out the tackles as necessary. The tackle case 1 shown in the figure is composed of two upper and lower stages (upper case 4 and lower case 5), and the required tackle can be stored in each. The lid 3 is kept closed by a magic tape (registered trademark) 6.

By the way, in the conventional tackle case 1,
When the tackle case 1 is picked up and tilted when the necessary tackle is taken out, the storage chamber 2 also tilts, and in some cases, the stored tackle may spill. Therefore, a fisherman needs to be careful when taking out a small weight or a rubber for stopping the movement.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tackle case which is easy to use and does not spill the stored tackle even when tilted.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] (1) In order to achieve the above object, a tackle case according to the present application is a tackle case for storing a tackle as a component of a fishing tackle, a casing, and a casing. Provided inside,
A storage device having a storage chamber having an opening for taking out / storing the tackle and a support mechanism for rotatably supporting the storage device in a casing about a predetermined rotation axis. To do.

According to this structure, various tackles (needle, buffing rubber, etc.) used during fishing can be stocked in the storage container in advance, and it is necessary to replace the needle etc. during actual fishing. When it happens, pick up the tackle case,
Needles and the like of the required type can be taken out from the container.
In this case, even if the tackle case is tilted in the direction intersecting the predetermined rotation axis when the tackle case is picked up by hand, the storage mechanism is supported by the support mechanism so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis. Therefore, the container rotates due to gravity so that the opening always faces upward.

(2) The container can be formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape that is divided into two along the axial direction, and the rotation axis can be set along the axial direction of the container. .

In this case, the fisherman picks up the tackle case so that the storage device is arranged in the lateral direction, that is, the rotation axis is in the lateral direction. By gripping the tackle case in this way, even if the tackle case tilts when the tackle is taken out from the container,
Unless tilted laterally (in a direction coinciding with the pivot axis), the enclosure will always pivot with the opening pointing upwards. Moreover, by forming the container in a cylindrical shape, the outer peripheral surface thereof has an arc shape. Therefore, even if a plurality of enclosures are arranged in the casing, the entanglement line of the outer edge of the enclosure due to the rotation of the enclosure is the same as the outer peripheral surface shape of the enclosure (that is, the arc shape). Therefore, it is not necessary to secure an extra space for rotating the storage device, and a plurality of storage devices can be compactly arranged.
Mutual interference due to rotation can be prevented.

(3) Further, the support mechanism may be provided with a rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation of the storage device at a predetermined angle or more.

As a result, since the storage is restricted from rotating more than a predetermined amount, it is possible to prevent an accident that the storage is turned over in the casing.

(4) Further, the casing includes a lid member for opening and closing the casing, and the lid member can be attached so that the opening of the container is closed by closing the lid member.

With this configuration, the opening of the container is closed with the lid member closed. That is, the lid member can fix the rotatably supported container. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tackle from spilling out of the container while the tackle case is being carried.

(5) It is also possible to arrange a plurality of the above-mentioned housings in a casing and to provide an interlocking mechanism for interlocking the rotation of each housing.

With this configuration, a plurality of types of tackles can be carried by providing a plurality of storage devices. Moreover, since the interlocking mechanism causes each of the storage units to rotate in accordance with the inclination of the casing, the opening of all the storage units always faces upward even when the casing is inclined.

A recess 17 is formed inside the casing body 15, and each of the containers 12 to 14 is housed in the recess 17. In the present embodiment, the three storages 12 to 14 are arranged in the casing body 15 and the recess 17 is designed so that these can be stored, but there is no limit to the number of storages, and the storage is limited. It goes without saying that the shape of the concave portion 17 can be appropriately designed and changed according to the number of vessels.

A velcro tape (registered trademark) 19 is provided on the tip of the upper surface 18 of the casing body 15.
The closed state can be maintained when the lid 16 is closed.

The lid 16 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a velcro tape (registered trademark) 20 is provided at the tip thereof. A hinge mechanism 23 is formed between the base end portion 21 of the lid 16 and the base end portion 22 of the casing body 15, and the base end portion 21 of the lid 16 is connected via the hinge mechanism 23 to the base end portion of the casing body 15. It is rotatably connected to the portion 22.
A notch 24 is provided in the base end portion 21 of the lid 16 so that the lid 16 can smoothly rotate.

Further, the inner surface 25 of the lid 16 has a housing 12
Stoppers 26 and 27 for fixing the members 14 to 14 are formed. The stoppers 26 and 27 are for fixing the respective storage units 12 to 14 so as not to rotate when the lid 16 is closed. The stoppers 26 and 27 are formed in a convex shape, and when the lid 16 is closed, the stoppers 26 and 27 enter the inside of the casing body 15,
It is adapted to abut the edges of each of the containers 12-14. The operation of the stoppers 26 and 27 will be described later in detail.

As shown in FIG. 1, the housing 12 has a cylindrical shape divided into two along the axial direction, and has a side wall portion 28,
It is equipped with 29. That is, the storage device 12 is formed in a bottomed tubular shape that is divided into two parts (in this embodiment, the side wall portions 28 and 29 correspond to the bottom). It is a member that has an opening 30 in the inside and has an arcuate inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface.

Next, the support mechanism 31 will be described. The support mechanism 31 includes a pair of pin members 32, 3 in this embodiment.

The side wall portions 28 and 29 of the pin 2 have pin members 32 and 3 respectively.
Insertion holes 34 and 35 for inserting 3 are provided. Then, the pin members 32 and 33 are inserted into the insertion holes 34 and 35 from the tip end side thereof, respectively, and the casing body 1
It is supported by 5 wall surfaces.

The pin members 32 and 33 are arranged on a predetermined virtual axis N (predetermined rotation axis) indicated by a chain double-dashed line in the figure, and their central axes coincide with each other. . The virtual axis N is set along the central axis of the container 12.

Since the housing 12 is arranged in this way and is supported by the pin members 32 and 33, the pin member 3
It is rotatable around 2, 33. That is, when the casing main body 15 is kept horizontal, the opening 30 of the container 12 faces upward as shown in FIG. 1, and even if the casing main body 15 is tilted, due to the action of gravity, The housing 12 is rotated so that the opening 30 of the housing 12 is always directed upward.

The configurations of the storages 13 and 14 are the same as the configuration of the storage 12, and the support mechanism 31 that supports the storages 13 and 14 has the same configuration as the support mechanism 31 that supports the storage 12. Therefore, description of these is omitted. Further, although each of the storage devices 12 to 14 is formed in a cylindrical shape in the present embodiment, it is not limited to this and may be formed in a cylindrical shape having a polygonal cross section.

(2) Tackle Case Usage Mode and Operation Effect The tackle case 10 according to this embodiment is used as follows.

In surf fishing and the like, it is desirable to stock various needles and rubber for stopping bounces beforehand. For these various tackles, the lid 16 of the tackle case 10 is opened,
It can be stocked in the storages 12 to 14 in advance.

When it is necessary to replace the needles or the like during actual fishing, the tackle case 10 is picked up,
A desired type of needle or the like can be taken out from the containers 12 to 14. In this case, even if the tackle case 10 is tilted when the tackle case 10 is picked up, the container 1
Since 2 to 14 are supported by the support mechanism 31,
The openings 30 in the enclosures 12-14 will always face upwards. Therefore, the tackle case 10 during actual fishing
When you take out the tackle from the other tackle,
The tackle can be taken out very easily and quickly without spilling from -14.

In the present embodiment, when the tackle case 10 is tilted in the direction of the virtual axis N, each container 1 is
Although 2 to 14 cannot rotate, when a fisherman picks up the tackle case 10 in actual fishing, it is usually tilted in the direction from the base end to the tip of the tackle case 10 (intersecting the virtual axis N). Since it is gripped so that it tilts in the direction in which it does, there is no particular inconvenience.

Moreover, since the containers 12 to 14 are formed in a cylindrical shape, the envelope lines of the outer edges of the containers 12 to 14 when the containers 12 to 14 are rotated are the same. The outer peripheral surface shape is 12 to 14. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a wide space for rotating each of the containers 12 to 14 in the casing body 15, and the containers 12 to 14 can be compactly arranged in the casing body 15. Therefore, there is an advantage that mutual interference due to rotation can be prevented.

Further, the casing body 15 is provided with a lid 16, and the lid 16 has the stoppers 26, 27.
Are formed. By closing this lid 16,
The openings of the respective containers 12 to 14 are closed, and the stoppers 26 and 27 abut the edges of the respective containers 12 to 14. As a result, the respective storages 12 to 14 are fixed and cannot rotate. Therefore, at the time of actual fishing, when the tackle case 10 is carried,
There is also an advantage that it is possible to reliably prevent spillage from 14.

(3) Modification of Embodiment Next, in the present embodiment, each of the housings 12 to 14 is configured to be freely rotatable, but each housing 12 is
It is also possible to limit the rotation range of 14 to 14.

The pin member 38 is supported by the casing body 15 via the angle defining boss 37. At this time, the key 43 of the pin member 38 is fitted into the groove 41 of the angle defining boss 37. Therefore, the pin member 38 is attached to each of the housings 12-1.
Even when the pin member 38 is rotated together with the pin 4, the pin member 38 can be rotated only within a range in which the key 43 can slide in the groove 41, and therefore each of the containers 12 to 14 can be rotated only within the range. Movement is allowed. That is, each storage device 12-14
Cannot rotate beyond this allowed range.

As described above, in this modification, each of the storage devices 12 to 12 is used.
Since the rotation of 14 is permitted only within a predetermined range, when the tackle is taken out from the tackle case 10, the respective containers 12 to 14 are inverted in the casing body 15,
The tackle can be prevented from spilling, and a tackle case that is even easier to use can be provided. <Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a tackle case 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The tackle case 50 according to the present embodiment is different from the tackle case 10 according to the above modification in that

The pulleys 52 to 54 are made of, for example, acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene resin (ABS resin), polystyrene,
It can be made of a resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene. By selecting the materials of the endless belt 55 and the pulleys 52 to 54 in this way, the coefficient of friction between the two can be increased and slippage between the two can be prevented. However, it is also possible to prevent the slippage between the endless belt 55 and the pulleys 52 to 54 by forming engaging teeth and engaging them.

The pulleys 52 to 54 are fitted and fixed to the base end side of the pin member 38 (only the portion of the pulley 52 is shown in FIG. 5), and the outside of each of the containers 12 to 14 and the casing body 15 are shown. Is disposed in the gap with the side wall 42 of the. The pulleys 52 to 54 are formed with a circumferential groove for hanging the endless belt 55. When the endless belt 55 moves left and right in the drawing, the pulleys 52 to 54 are rotated in the direction. ing. The endless belt 5
As shown in FIG. 4, 5 is wound around pulleys 53 and 54 at both ends.

In this embodiment, the same effects as those of the tackle case 10 according to the first embodiment described above are obtained, and when the tackle case 50 is picked up for exchanging the needle or the like during actual fishing, Even when the tackle case 50 is tilted, each of the containers 12 to 14 is rotated and kept horizontal, so that a needle of a desired type can be easily and quickly taken out from each of the containers 12 to 14. .

Further, in this embodiment, each of the storage devices 12 to 1 is
Since the interlocking mechanism 51 that interlocks the rotations of 4 is provided, each of the storage devices 12 to 14 rotates in conjunction with the inclination of the casing main body 15, so that all of the storage devices 12 to 14 are rotated.
The opening 30 of 14 will always face upwards. This has an advantage that it is possible to prevent an accident that the tackle stored in any of the storage devices 12 to 14 is spilled to the outside.
