Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. Note that common components in the drawings are given the same reference numerals. A fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to each figure.

First, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body part 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part of which is visible from the outside, and a part of the cavity 11 is visible from the outside. , a movable member is provided as a visible member (meaning a member that is visible from the outside in a visible state), and the movable member (reflecting member 4 in the example of FIG. 1) is located at a first position within the cavity 11. At A, at least a portion thereof is visible from the outside, and at a second position B within the cavity 11 it is configured such that it is not visible from the outside. Here, the movable member may be a colored member, a phosphorescent member, a light emitting member, a translucent member, or the like, but is not limited to these. Moreover, a reflective member capable of reflecting light from the outside can be used as the movable member. Hereinafter, in this specification, a case will be described as an example in which a reflective member 4 capable of reflecting light from the outside is provided in the cavity 11 as a movable member.

According to the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to create a change in the visible state and the disabled state (on-off state) of the visible member from the outside, and to make the visible member more three-dimensional. By making the fish eater visible, it is possible to provide a lure with an attracting part that can attract fish eaters more reliably. In addition, in the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a reflective member is used as the movable member, it is possible to create a change (on-off state) when reflecting external light, and to make the reflected light more By making the lure visible three-dimensionally, it is possible to provide a lure equipped with an attracting part that can attract fish eaters more reliably. More specifically, by setting the reflecting member 4 in either of the positions (the first position A or the second position B) within the cavity 11, the reflection of external light can be improved. It is possible to create a change (on-off state), and it is also possible to make the reflected light more three-dimensionally visible (for example, by using the width direction of the lure, it is possible to create changes between the outer surface of the lure body and the inside of the visible cavity. By creating a distance between the reflective member and the reflective member, it is possible to make it visible from the outside with a three-dimensional effect). The first position A or the second position B is preferably a position corresponding to the gills of the lure body, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. The small fish that they feed on have especially complex gill movements. For this reason, by creating a change between visible and disabled states (on-off state) at the position corresponding to the gills on the lure 1 and making the visible member more three-dimensionally visible, the lure 1 can breathe. This will make it look like you are fishing, which will further improve the fishing effect. Here, the position corresponding to the gills is a position within a range of approximately 1/3 to 1/8 from the front of the lure main body when viewed in the direction of movement.

In the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflecting member 4 is configured to be indirectly supported by a part of the main body portion 2. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the reflecting member 4 is inserted in the cavity 11 of the main body 2 parallel to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lure 1 and in the width direction of the lure 1. One end of the reflecting member 4 may be rotatably (swingably) supported in the central region of the shaft member 12 extending in the direction of the shaft member 12 . In this way, depending on the rotational (swinging) position of the reflecting member 4 within the cavity 11, either the first position A or the second position B is achieved. As mentioned above, this makes it possible to create a change (on-off state) when external light is reflected, and also makes the reflected light more three-dimensionally visible (using the width direction of the lure). By creating a distance between the outer surface of the lure main body and the reflective member in the visible cavity, it is possible to make the lure visible from the outside with a three-dimensional effect).

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the reflective member 4 is suspended within the cavity 11 of the main body 2 from the central region of the upper part of the main body 2 of the lure 1 when viewed in the width direction. One end of the reflecting member 4 may be attached to the spring member 13 that is attached. In this way, the reflection member 4 swings due to the vibration of the spring member 13 within the cavity 11, so that it can be placed in either the first position A or the second position B. can. This makes it possible to create changes in the reflection of external light (on-off state), and also to make the reflected light more three-dimensionally visible (using the width direction of the lure to By creating a distance between the outer surface of the cavity and the reflective member in the visible cavity, it is possible to make it visible from the outside with a three-dimensional effect). Note that a wire or a resin member may be used in place of the spring member 13, but the present invention is not limited to these.

Next, in the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflecting member is provided so as to be movable within the cavity. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4(a), (b), 5(a), (b), and 6(a), (b), the reflecting member 4 In the case of FIG. 5, the cavity 11 of the main body part 2 (in the case of FIG. 4, the direction inclined to the longitudinal direction of the lure 1, or in the case of FIG. 5, the direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lure 1) In the case of FIG. 6, the reflecting member 4 may be movable along the cavity 11 (which is provided parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lure 1). However, within the cavity 11 of the main body part 2, a support shaft member (not shown) provided in the cavity 11 of the main body part 2 is provided so as to pass through the central region of the reflective member 4, and the reflective member 4 is It may be made movable along the support shaft member. In this way, depending on the movement position of the reflecting member 4 within the cavity 11, either the above-mentioned first position A or the above-mentioned second position B will be in the state. This makes it possible to create changes in the reflection of external light (on-off state), and also to make the reflected light more three-dimensionally visible (using the width direction of the lure to By creating a distance between the outer surface of the cavity and the reflective member in the visible cavity, it is possible to make it visible from the outside with a three-dimensional effect).

In the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cavity includes a portion where the paint is formed on the outer surface of the main body portion is not visible from the outside, and a portion where the paint is not formed on the outer surface of the main body portion. is configured to be visible from the outside. Furthermore, in the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the colored portion of the hollow body is not visible from the outside, and the colorless and transparent portion of the hollow body is visible from the outside. configured as possible. In this way, the first position A or the second position B (for example, a position with gills or fins) can be formed arbitrarily. That is, even if a cavity is formed, a part is made visible from the outside, and the remaining part is made invisible from the outside.

In the fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reflective member 4 is one or more reflective surfaces or reflectors. Hereinafter, cases in which the reflecting member 4 is one or more reflective surfaces and one or more reflectors will be described in more detail.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, in the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflective surface has a polygonal shape including a circle, a triangle, a square, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc. (FIGS. 7a and 7b). , in the case of FIGS. 7c, 7f, and 7g), arc-shaped, or scale-shaped (in the cases of FIG. 7d, and 7e). Moreover, when a plurality of reflective surfaces are provided, each reflective surface may be arranged on the same surface or may be arranged on a curved surface along the shape of the main body portion 2 (the same applies hereinafter). Further, each reflecting surface may be arranged at an angle of the same predetermined angle (in the case of FIG. 8) or may be inclined by a different angle (the same applies hereinafter). In this way, by providing a large number of reflective surfaces and emitting realistic reflected light like baitfish, it is possible to make an effective appeal.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, in the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least a part of the reflector has a cylindrical shape (in the case of FIG. 8a), a wave shape (in the case of FIG. 8b). ), polygons such as polygonal prisms and polygonal pyramids (in the case of Fig. 8c), polyhedrons (in the case of Fig. 8d), spheres (in the case of Fig. 8e), and tiled shapes (in the case of Fig. 8f, tile-shaped laminations). Ru. In this way, it becomes possible to perform specular reflection on incident light from more directions.

In the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the main body portion 2 is formed of resin (eg, ABS, acrylic, etc.) or metal (eg, zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.). Further, a portion of the main body portion 2 may be formed of at least one of resin (eg, ABS, acrylic, etc.) or metal (eg, zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.).

Moreover, in the fishing lure 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of reflective surfaces or reflectors are provided, each of the reflective surfaces or reflectors may have the same shape or different shapes.

In addition, in each aspect explained above, the reflecting member 4 to be swung may be configured to include a plurality of reflecting portions. In this case, the reflecting member 4 can be configured to be supported by one or more supporting members. In this way, the plurality of swinging parts of the reflection member 4 can reflect the light received from the outside in various directions, thereby ensuring that the reflected light reaches the fish eaters, thereby increasing the attracting effect. It is possible to increase this significantly.

In the fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflecting member may be capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside. Here, specular reflection is defined as "reflection in which the law of reflection (in reflection, the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal and opposite signs)", and the brightness of the reflected light is higher than that of normal diffuse reflection. It has been found that by specularly reflecting external light, the intensity of the reflected light can be greatly increased, and as a result, the reflected light can be transmitted over long distances (the same applies hereafter). Here, the reflection brightness of specular reflection and diffuse reflection varies depending on various conditions, but under the same conditions, the brightness of diffuse reflection is about 1/5 or less of that of specular reflection. It should be noted that the term "specular reflection" in the present invention includes not only ideal specular reflection but also reflection with a brightness of 40% or more (herein referred to as quasi-specular reflection).

In addition, when the reflecting member 4 (reflecting surface) is provided in the cavity 11, in the process until the light from the outside is specularly reflected by the reflecting member 4 (reflecting surface) provided in the cavity 11, the light from the outside is A part of the light passes through the main body 2, but when it reaches the cavity 11, it undergoes diffuse transmission, so the light incident on the cavity 11 is diffused in various directions. However, since most of this incident light is specularly reflected by the reflecting member 4 (reflecting surface) in the cavity 11, the attenuation during reflection of relatively weak incident light is reduced, resulting in a strong light brightness. The reflected light can be reflected reliably in a wider range of directions.

Next, a method for forming a reflective surface that performs specular reflection of one or more reflective surfaces or reflectors in the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Possible methods for forming a reflective surface that performs specular reflection include, for example, resin injection molding, molding of metal, glass, etc., lamination molding of ultra-thin films, and film formation on metal/resin molded surfaces, and other conventionally known methods. techniques can be used. In this way, a specular reflective surface can be formed directly on the inner or outer surface of the main body of the lure, or a specular reflective surface member can be formed in the cavity of the lure and then bonded to the main body.

Furthermore, whether the reflective surface to be formed performs specular reflection or diffuse reflection largely depends on factors such as the surface roughness and material of the reflective surface to be formed. The material and surface roughness of one or more reflective surfaces or the specular reflective surface of the reflector in the lure 1 for use are determined so as to enable reflection with a brightness of 40% or more compared to ideal specular reflection, and the material and surface roughness are determined as described above. It can be formed by using the following formation method. For example, in the case of resin injection molding, it is particularly affected by the surface roughness of the mold surface, but there are differences depending on the molding material (for example, when compared with acrylic, ABS, which is frequently used for lures, has a rougher surface. etc.) can also greatly influence mirror surface formation. Even in such cases, the influence of surface roughness can be reduced by applying a thin layer of transparent paint to the mirror surface.

Next, in the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when one or more reflective surfaces or reflectors are provided in the cavity 11, the reflective member having the one or more reflective surfaces or reflectors is provided. 4 is provided, and the reflecting member 4 is supported by a supporting member whose one end is supported by a part of the main body 2, and the supporting member has a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the reflecting member 4. It is configured to support the reflecting member 4 at the center of the reflecting member 4 or at a position eccentric from the center.

In this way, by making the supporting position of the supporting member eccentric from the center position of the reflecting member 4, and by swinging the reflecting member 4, the reflecting member 4 that performs specular reflection can direct the light received from the outside in various directions. By making it possible to reflect the light strongly, the reflected light will surely reach the fish eaters, making it possible to greatly enhance the attracting effect.

The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described herein are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component may be any number that may fall within the scope of the present invention. dimensions, materials, and arrangements. Further, components not explicitly described in this specification can be added to the described embodiments, or some of the components described in each embodiment can be omitted.
