Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lure that is automatically operable and can more effectively perform its lure motions. <P>SOLUTION: When it is allowed to stand, the lure floats on the water surface and is kept horizontal, and the energizing circuit 28 is kept cut off ((A)), but when the fishing line 12 is pulled a little, the lip 36 receives water pressure (the resistance of water) and the line eye 14 dives into water ((B)). Accompanying that, the ball 26 rolls forward and the energizing circuit 28 is energized and the signals are output to the microcomputer 30. Thus, the eccentric weight 18 is rotated thereby vibrating the main body for a prescribed time T1 from the time when the switch 24 is turned on and simultaneously sound is generated from the rattling room 22. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a pseudo bait, and more particularly to a pseudo bait that can operate by itself.

Conventionally, the pseudo bait itself generally does not operate itself. Therefore, the angler moves the pseudo bait by pulling the fishing line tied to the pseudo bait, and operates (simulates) the pseudo bait using the resistance between the pseudo bait and water.
By the way, fish called so-called fish eaters that supplement small fish as food often prefer places where the river topography changes. In order to catch a fish staying in such a place (called a point), it is necessary to pass the point in a state in which a pseudo bait is mimicked. Therefore, the angler passes the point while imitating the pseudo bait by throwing the pseudo bait in a place beyond the point and pulling the fishing line tied to the pseudo bait.

However, the point is relatively small in size. Therefore, if the fishing line tied to the pseudo bait is pulled in order to mimic the pseudo bait, the pseudo bait passes the point in a short time. Therefore, even if the simulated food mimics good, the fish does not notice it and does not eat it.
In view of these facts, it is conceivable to pull the fishing line slowly, but the simulated bait cannot perform an appropriate mimicry.
In view of the above fact, conventionally, a pseudo bait has been proposed that incorporates a battery and operates by itself to mimic (see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-231405

In the above-mentioned pseudo bait, since it operates and mimics itself, it is thrown into the point with the switch turned on. Thereafter, the mimicry operation continues. However, since the small fish that is the target of mimicry does not always operate constantly, the above-described operation of the pseudo bait is not preferable as a mimic.
Also, the angler may want to stop the pseudo bait and start mimicry depending on the situation, but the pseudo bait cannot flexibly deal with this.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and an object thereof is to propose a pseudo bait that can be more effectively mimicked.

Such an object is achieved by the present invention described below.
(1) A pseudo bait equipped with a resistance plate that changes the inclination of the body posture in response to water resistance,
A conductive moving body that is disposed inside the pseudo bait body and is movable according to the inclination of the body by the resistance plate;
Vibration means for vibrating the main body;
An energization circuit energized by moving the movable body to a predetermined position;
Control means for driving and controlling the vibration means by energizing the energization circuit;
Simulated bait with.

(2) a timer circuit for stopping the vibration by the vibration means after a predetermined time;
The simulated bait according to the above (1) or (2), comprising:

  (3) The pseudo bait according to (2), wherein the timer circuit is started from a time point when the energization of the energization circuit is released.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the resistance plate that changes the posture of the main body due to the resistance of water is provided, the posture can be easily changed by the operation of pulling the thread, thereby moving the movable body. Thus, the energization circuit can be energized and the vibration means can be operated by the control means. That is, since the main body can be vibrated by pulling the fishing line, the main body can be vibrated at a timing that matches the user's intention. Further, since the fishing line is pulled as a trigger for switching on, it is not necessary to keep pulling the fishing line for mimicking, and the pseudo bait can be kept at a desired point for a long time.

  According to the second aspect of the invention, since the timer circuit for stopping the vibration means after a predetermined time is provided, an operation for stopping the vibration is unnecessary, the handling is simplified, and the consumption of the battery can be suppressed. Furthermore, since vibration does not continue and vibration can be restarted arbitrarily, it can be mimicked more effectively.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, since the timer circuit is started from the point of time when the energization is released, the energization circuit is maintained in the energized state when the fishing line is continuously drawn and thus the timer is started. do not do. For this reason, the vibration continuation time when the fishing line has been pulled and the pseudo bait has floated in the water is defined by the timer, and a sufficient mimicry effect due to vibration can be obtained.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pseudo bait (luer) 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a line eye 14 as a connecting portion for connecting a fishing line on the front side of the main body and a fishing hook 16 at the lower portion of the main body. ing.

Inside the artificial bait 10, there are an eccentric weight 18, a motor 20 for rotating the eccentric weight 18, and a rattle room 22 as a sound generating means for generating a sound by vibration by incorporating a plurality of metal balls and the like. Is provided. The eccentric weight 18 and the motor 20 constitute vibration means.
Further, inside the pseudo bait 10, there are a conductive ball 26 as a moving body that moves (moves) according to a change in the posture of the main body, and an energization circuit 28 that energizes when the ball 26 is positioned at a predetermined position. , A switch 24 is provided. The switch 24 is connected to a timer circuit 40 as control means.

  Furthermore, the pseudo bait 10 is provided with a battery 34 for supplying power to each part such as the timer circuit 50 and the motor 20 and an air chamber 32 for maintaining the posture of the main body in an equilibrium state. On the front side of the body of the pseudo bait 10, a lip 36 is provided as a resistance plate that changes the posture of the main body by resistance with surrounding water, that is, changes the inclination of the main body posture.

FIG. 2 shows a timer circuit 50 of the present invention.
The timer circuit 50 includes a chip 501, resistors R1 and R2, a capacitor C, a switch 24, and the like connected from the chip 501, as shown in FIG. 2, and is released after the switch 24 is turned on by the conductive ball 26. From this point, the timer is started.

  The set time of the timer is determined by the product of the resistor R1 and the capacitor C, and the set time of the timer can be changed by changing the resistor or the capacitor.

Further, a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a microcomputer) can be used in place of the timer circuit 50. FIG. 3 shows an example. As shown in FIG. 3, the microcomputer 30 connects a CPU 40, a ROM 42, a RAM 44, and an input / output port (I / O) 46 that store a control program and change pattern table, which will be described later, via a bus 48. Configured.
The motor 20 and the switch 24 are connected to the input / output port (I / O) 46.

  The switch 24 includes a ball 26 that is freely movable in a one-dimensional direction in the switch case 240. The switch 24 is provided with an energization circuit 28. In the switch case 240, there are provided a terminal 241 projecting inwardly at one end of the movement area of the ball 26 and a terminal 242 provided along the movement area of the ball. A part of the energization circuit 28 is configured.

The energizing circuit 28 is partially cut at a portion (predetermined position) that intersects the path along which the ball 26 moves, and the terminals 241 and 242 are provided at the ends of the cut portions. When the ball 26 is positioned at this portion, the energization circuit is energized and turned on, and the motor 20 starts driving.
Subsequently, when the ball 26 returns to the original position from the predetermined position and the energization is released, the timer is set, and the driving of the motor is ended after the predetermined time set by the timer.

  Next, the change pattern table stored in the ROM 42 when the microcomputer 30 is used instead of the timer circuit 50 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, this table stores a time pattern for supplying an operation signal to the motor 20. In the pattern P1, the time for supplying the operation signal to the motor 20 is T1, and specifically, the operation signal is supplied for T1 time as shown in FIG. In the pattern P2, the time for supplying the operation signal to the motor 20 is T2 (> T1). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5B, the operation signal is supplied for T2 time longer than T1 time. In the pattern P3, the time for supplying the operation signal to the motor 20 is T3 (> T2). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C, the operation signal is supplied for T3 time longer than T2 time.

Each of the above patterns P1 to P3 is a pattern in which the operation signal is supplied once although the time is different. On the other hand, patterns P4 and P5 described below are patterns in which the operation signal is supplied a plurality of times with a non-supply time interposed therebetween.
That is, in the pattern P4, as shown in FIG. 5D, after the T1 time operation signal is supplied to the motor 20, the T1 time operation signal is supplied again to the motor 20 with the non-supply time of t0 time interposed therebetween. It is a pattern. As shown in FIG. 5E, the pattern P5 is a pattern in which after the T2 time operation signal is supplied to the motor 20, the T2 time operation signal is supplied to the motor 20 again with a non-supply time of t0. is there.

A predetermined random number is assigned to the patterns P1 to P5 and the like so as to be identified.
Note that the change pattern is not limited to the above-described patterns P1 to P5, and can include other various patterns.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
This pseudo bait 10 is designed so that each member and air chamber 32 are balanced so that they float horizontally when thrown into water. A fishing line 12 is tied to the line eye 14, and the fishing line 12 is connected to a fishing rod (not shown) or a reel attached to the fishing rod. The artificial bait floating on the surface of the water, when left unattended, remains stationary as shown in FIG. 6 (A). In this state, the ball 26 is not positioned at the predetermined position, the energization circuit 28 remains cut off, the switch 24 is not turned on, and therefore the battery 34 consumes little power.

  When the fishing line 12 is pulled a little while maintaining the horizontal state in this way, the lip 36 receives water pressure (water resistance), and the line eye 14 is in a state of being submerged in water. That is, in the case of the present embodiment, the posture of the main body changes and the posture leans so that the front is lowered. Along with this, as shown in FIG. 6B, the switch case is inclined so that the front is down. As a result, the ball 26 rolls forward and finally reaches the predetermined position. When the ball 26 is located at the predetermined position, the ball 26 simultaneously contacts the terminals 241 and 242, the energization circuit 28 is energized by the conductive ball 26, and the motor 20 starts driving.

Subsequently, when the fishing line that has been stretched is loosened, the resistance received by the lip is lost, so that the posture of the pseudo bait 10 is in an equilibrium state, that is, again in FIG. While returning to the posture of A), the ball 26 is separated from the terminals 241 and 242, and the energization is released.
And by the structure of the timer circuit 50 of the present invention, the timer is activated (started) from the time when the energization is released, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the power supply to the motor is cut off to stop the driving of the motor, The simulated bait 10 stops vibrating.

  When the microcomputer 30 is used in place of the timer circuit 50, when an energization signal is input to the microcomputer 30, the microcomputer 30 starts the control program shown in FIG. 7, performs random number processing in step S62, and step S64. In step S66, a change pattern corresponding to the numerical value is determined, and in step S68, the motor 20 is controlled to rotate the eccentric weight 18 with the determined change pattern. As a result, the main body is vibrated to generate sound from the rattle room 22.

For example, when the pattern P1 is determined, the operation signal is supplied for the time T1. Thus, the main body is vibrated by rotating the eccentric weight 18 for a time T1 from when the switch 24 is turned on, and a sound is generated from the rattle room 22.
For example, when the pattern P5 is determined, the T2 time operation signal is supplied to the motor 20, and then the T2 time operation signal is supplied to the motor 20 again with a non-supply time of t0 time interposed therebetween. Thereby, the main body is vibrated by rotating the eccentric weight 18 for T2 time from when the switch 24 is turned on, and the sound is generated from the rattle room 22. Thereafter, the main body is vibrated by rotating the eccentric weight 18 again for T2 time with the non-supply time of t0 time interposed therebetween, and sound is generated from the rattle room 22.
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the main body stops vibrating after a predetermined time due to the change in the posture of the main body, it can be mimicked more effectively.

  In the above-described embodiment, the main body can be vibrated by pulling the fishing line. Therefore, the main body can be vibrated at a timing that matches the user's intention. In addition, since the timer is started when the energization is released, the user can vibrate the main body at the intended location, and the consumption of power can be suppressed. Moreover, in order to position the pseudo bait of the present invention at the point, the pseudo bait is thrown into a position far from the point, and the pseudo bait is moved to a desired point while pulling the fishing line. During this movement, the pseudo bait mimics the resistance of the lip and the switch 24 is turned on, so that the motor 20 is also driven during the movement. The timer circuit 50 starts from the time when the fishing line has been pulled (that is, the time when the pseudo bait is located at the point), so that sufficient vibration (mimicry) time can be secured at the desired point.

  In addition, the posture of the main body can be easily changed by the resistance between the lip and the surrounding water, so if you want to mimic it again within the point, you can easily change the posture with a momentary thread pulling operation. It is possible to repeat the mimicry (vibration) without leaving the pseudo food away from the point. In addition, the lip provided in the existing pseudo bait is used as a resistance plate, and the structure of the existing pseudo bait can be used more effectively.

When the conductive ball is positioned at a predetermined position, the power is turned on.When the posture of the main body changes and the moving body moves out of the predetermined position, the power is released. It can be prevented from continuing indefinitely.
Moreover, in this embodiment, by setting the pseudo bait in a predetermined shape, it is possible to mimic the state when terrestrial insects such as semen and canabun fall on the water surface by pulling the fishing line with the minimum necessary condition. .
