The fishing snap structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a structure in which the hook portion is locked at an intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the fishing snap or a lower position than the fishing snap, and the hook portion is located in the upper region with the position as a boundary. The structure is such that the fishing line is fastened, and the attachment ring part of the device is inserted into the lower area in a loose-fitting manner, and the attachment ring part of the device moves so as to come close to the hook part that is locked It is a possible structure. For this reason, the fishing snap formed by the wire rod is elastically deformed by various forces acting on the device during fishing, and a problem that the hook portion is inadvertently detached easily occurs. The same applies to Patent Document 2. Even when the mounting curved surface disclosed in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 disclosed in Patent Document 2 is provided, the device mounting ring portion moves close to the hook portion during fishing. obtain. The fishing snap disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 is the same as Patent Documents 1 and 2.
Therefore, the problem to be solved is to provide a fishing snap that prevents the hook portion from being inadvertently detached.

A first aspect of the present invention is a fishing snap having an annular body formed by bending a wire, and being capable of inserting and engaging a device mounting portion through a hook portion at the end of the wire, A fastening portion which is a heel side at the time of mounting; an intermediate portion which is continuous to the fastening portion; and a mounting portion which is provided so as to protrude from the intermediate portion to a side away from the fastening portion. The hook portion can be engaged with and disengaged from the locking portion in the vicinity of the boundary portion between the fastening portion and the intermediate portion by the elasticity of the fishing snap, and the boundary portion between the intermediate portion and the mounting portion The horizontal space width, which is the spreading direction of the fishing snap, is the minimum width of the horizontal space on the intermediate side near the boundary, and is the same as the horizontal space on the mounting portion near the boundary. Provide fishing snaps characterized by width or minimum width.
The fishing snap of the present application has an annular body formed of a wire, and is not necessarily formed only of the annular body. In addition to the annular body, a metal plate-like member (for example, as shown in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 1) may be provided in the vicinity of the fastening portion. As shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, what is fastened to the fastened portion includes, in addition to the fishing line, ring portions of various fishing parts.

In the second invention, the vicinity of the locking portion is closed so as to divide the space between the fastening portion of the first invention and the intermediate portion.
In the third invention, the lateral width of the boundary portion between the first or second fastening portion and the intermediate portion is the smallest of the lateral widths on the intermediate portion side in the vicinity of the boundary portion, and the lateral width The shape of the intermediate portion formed by the wire viewed from the direction of visually recognizing the shape is a rhombus or barrel shape.

  The fishing snap according to the first aspect of the present invention, when attached to the fishing line, comprises a fastening portion on the upper end side, an intermediate portion below it, and a mounting portion on the lower side (lower end side). Since the boundary between the mounting part and the intermediate part is the most constricted part in the vicinity (including the case where the width is the same as the width on the mounting part side), the mounting ring part for the device is attached when fishing. Movement from the part to the intermediate part side is prevented, and substantially remains in the region of the mounting part. That is, at the time of fishing, the position of the device (of the mounting ring portion) is separated from the hook portion because the intermediate portion is interposed. Therefore, the elastic deformation of the fishing snap due to the acting force of the device extends to the mounting portion and the vicinity thereof, but is difficult to reach the vicinity of the hook portion separated from the intermediate portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hook portion from being inadvertently detached.

  In the second invention, since the boundary portion between the fastening portion and the intermediate portion is closed, the shape of the fastening portion is stable, the locking portion side with respect to the hook portion is not easily elastically deformed, and the hook portion is careless accordingly. Disengagement is prevented.

  In the third invention, since the intermediate part is a rhombus or barrel shape, it is easy to remove the hook part by picking the most swollen part of the intermediate part from the outside with two fingers, and easy to attach and remove the device become.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a method of using a fishing snap (hereinafter referred to as snap) 20 according to the present invention. A fishing line 10 is fastened to the tip end of the snap 20 and the other end is attached to the other end. The ring 30R for mounting of the egi 30 which is a kind of gimmick lure is inserted and engaged in a loose fit. In addition, referring also to FIG. 2 to be described later, even if the egi is engaged with the intermediate portion Z2 side and located at a position indicated by a two-dot chain line 30 ′, the resistance force of water generated by the operation of pulling the fishing line with the fishing rod As a result, it immediately moves to the other end side in the direction (rearward) of the water resistance, engages with the mounting portion Z3 through the boundary B23, and the engagement position is stabilized at this mounting portion. This movement is a direction in which a forced (water resistance) force acts, and the snap structure of the present application does not hinder this movement. That is, it does not have a portion bent in the reverse direction (forward) with respect to the moving direction (a portion folded back toward the fastening portion Z1).

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of the snap 20, which has an annular body formed by bending a metal wire 22, and this snap is in order from the fishing line side, a fastening portion Z1, an intermediate portion Z2, and a mounting portion Z3. It has. FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the hook portion 20F is removed from the locking portion 20K. The shape of the annular body in this example is a shape in which a U-shaped fastening portion Z1, a rhombus-shaped intermediate portion Z2 (excluding both ends), and a U-shaped mounting portion Z3 are sequentially connected. is there. Accordingly, the boundary portion B12 between the fastening portion and the intermediate portion and the boundary portion B23 between the intermediate portion and the mounting portion are narrowed down.

  The one side portion Z1A ′ and the other side portion Z1A forming the parallel portion excluding the U-shaped arc-shaped portion Z1B of the fastening portion Z1 are connected at the boundary portion B12, and the U-shaped opening portion is the one side portion side portion of the wire 22 Closed by Z12. Further, a locking portion 20K for locking the hook portion 20F is formed at a connecting portion between the side portion Z12 and one side portion Z1A 'of the U-shaped parallel portion of the fastening portion Z1. Further, the side portion Z12 is inclined so that the other side portion Z1A side of the U-shaped parallel portion is higher in FIG. 2 than the locking portion 20K side as shown in FIG. Thereby, even if the side part Z2A 'and the side part Z2B' of the intermediate part Z2 are somewhat elastically deformed in the direction in which the hook part 20F is released, the hook part is difficult to be removed carelessly. Further, since the fastening portion Z1 has a shape in which the U-shaped opening is closed, it is difficult to be elastically deformed, and accordingly, the hook portion 20F and the locking portion 20K are difficult to release.

The intermediate portion Z2 is formed in a rhombus shape with four side portions Z2A, Z2B, Z2B ′, Z2A ′, and the intermediate portion in the vertical direction in the figure swells to the outermost side, and the upper and lower portions gradually decrease in diameter in each direction. ing.
The mounting portion Z3 is also U-shaped in this example, and the side portions Z3A and Z3A ′ of the parallel portion excluding the U-shaped arc-shaped portion Z3B are parallel to each other, and the interval is constant. The interval between the side portions Z2B and Z2B ′ of the intermediate portion Z2 is a shape that gradually increases upward. For this reason, the connecting portion Z23P between the side portion Z3A and the side portion Z2B or the connecting portion Z23P between the side portion Z3A 'and the side portion Z2B' is bent toward the inside of the annular body by bending the wire 22 Since it is a curved part or a corner part, in the fishing state as shown in FIG. 1, the mounting ring part 30R of the egi 30 once entering the fastening part Z3 is moved in the direction of the intermediate part Z2 at the connecting part Z23P. Substantially blocked and stays in the region of the mounting portion Z3. Note that the left and right connecting portions Z23P are provided at opposing positions, and the mounting portion Z3 is formed so as to protrude downward from the center of the left and right width of the snap 20 in FIG.

  For this reason, the influence of the deformation | transformation which acts on the cyclic | annular body formed with the wire 22 with the various force which acts on the mechanism in fishing is large near the mounting part Z3, and it latches with the hook part 20F separated through the intermediate part Z2. It is difficult to reach the locking portion with the portion 20K, and it is difficult to release the locking.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view showing another embodiment of the snap according to the present invention. 2 differs from the configuration of FIG. 2 in that the shape of the mounting portion Z3 should be referred to as a deformed U-shape in which the distance between the side portions Z3A and Z3A 'becomes narrower as it approaches the boundary portion B23. The other shapes are the same. In this example, the projecting angle into the annular body formed by the side portion Z3A and the side portion Z2B or the side portion Z3A ′ and the side portion Z2B ′ is larger than that in the example of FIG. The attachment ring portion 30R of the egi 30 that has entered the fastening portion Z3 is more effectively prevented from moving in the direction of the intermediate portion Z2 at the boundary portion Z23P, and remains in the region of the attachment portion Z3.

The above is an example in which the intermediate portion Z2 is a rhombus, but the intermediate portion may be a barrel shape, and the side portions Z2B and Z2B ′ are gradually separated in the direction of the fastening portion Z1 in the vicinity of the boundary portion B23. Thus, it may have a diameter-expanded portion, and the tip region may be formed of a parallel side portion. If these intermediate parts Z2 are picked, the hook part and the locking part can be unlocked.
In the above, the fastening portion Z1 is also formed by the wire 22 alone. However, a metal plate member as shown by a two-dot chain line 24 in FIG. (Similar members) may be provided.

  The present invention can be used for fishing snaps.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a method of using a snap according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of the snap. FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view showing a state different from FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view showing another embodiment of the snap according to the present invention.
