Abstract

An object of the present invention is to significantly reduce a frictional force generated between a fishing line and the fishing line so that the fishing line can be smoothly moved. SOLUTION: First, a plastic pipe 14 (shock absorbing material) is fixed to a through hole 16 provided substantially at the center of a buoyant body 10, and a glass pipe 18 is further fixed inside the plastic pipe 14. Compared with a conventionally used plastic pipe, the glass pipe 18 generates much less frictional force with the fishing line. Therefore, the fishing float 12 can be smoothly moved with respect to the fishing line. Therefore, the falling speed of the fishing line can be increased.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing float, and more particularly to a technique for smoothly moving a fishing float with respect to a fishing line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cross section of a conventional fishing float used for fishing has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, the fishing float 54 is constituted by the buoyant body 56 and the plastic pipe 52. More specifically,
The plastic pipe 52 is provided substantially at the center of the buoyancy body 56. The fishing line 50 is passed through the inner pipe side of the plastic pipe 52. A fishing hook 58 is attached to the tip of the fishing line 50.
Is connected. The plastic pipe 52 is generally formed of vinyl chloride or the like. By the way, when a fish is caught, the fishing rod may be pulled strongly, and at that time, the fishing line 50 is pulled strongly. As shown in FIG. 9, the end of a general plastic pipe 52 is often angular. When the fishing line 50 is strongly pulled, a strong frictional force is generated at the corner. Therefore, the fishing line 50 does not move smoothly with respect to the fishing float 54, and the fishing line 50 is broken.

The broken fishing line 50 is hardly used thereafter. That is, in order to fish, it is necessary to swing the fishing rod and throw the fishing float 54 and the fishhook 58 simultaneously to the fishing point. In this case, when the fishing point is several meters from the surface of the water, the fishing line 50 at the position corresponding to the depth to the fishing point is marked, and the distance between the fishing float 54 and the fishing hook 58 is set to about several tens cm. throw. This marking is performed, for example, by tying a knot using a part of the fishing line or attaching an adhesive tape or the like. Then, when the fishing float 54 floats on the surface of the water, the fishing hook 58 falls by its own weight in the riverbed (or seabed) direction. Therefore, the fishing line 50 moves to the position marked on the fishing float 54. In this movement, if the fishing line 50 is broken, the fishing line 50 stops without passing through the fishing float 54 (the inner cylinder of the plastic pipe 52), or moves slowly even if it does. Therefore, since the angler avoids the broken fishing line 50, it is hardly used.

[0004] In order to prevent such breakage of the fishing line 50, there is a fishing float 54 provided with a glass body 60 as shown in Fig. 10 at one end (one or both sides). The glass body 60 is also called “bead” and is usually formed in a substantially donut shape. Glass body 60 is fishing line 50
Since the portion in contact with the fishing line is round, even if the fishing line 50 is pulled strongly, little frictional force is generated. Therefore, fishing line 5
It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a fold at 0. Also,
Since the opening area of the end of the fishing float 54 is narrowed down by the glass body 60, the fishing float 50 can be reliably stopped at the position of the marking on the fishing line 50.

[0005]

However, the fishing line 50 is usually wound around a reel or the like and brought to a fishing place.
Then, when the fishing line 50 is unwound from a reel or the like at a fishing spot, the fishing line 50 is in a natural state. This fishing line 5
When the “0” is passed through the fishing float 54, it comes into substantially straight contact with the inner cylinder side of the plastic pipe 52 as shown in FIG. 8. Further, the frictional force between the fishing line 50 and the plastic pipe 52 is relatively high. For this reason, the fishing float 54 is
It was hard to move smoothly to 0. Therefore, the falling speed of the fishing line 50 was slow. This only improves the bending of the fishing line 50 at the end of the plastic pipe 52 even when the glass body 60 shown in FIG. At other portions, since the contact is almost linear, the frictional force is also generated at that portion. The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and provides a fishing float that can be moved smoothly with respect to the fishing line by greatly reducing a frictional force generated between the fishing line and the fishing line. is there.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment,
A description will be given of a fishing float which is formed of glass as a material of a portion in contact with a fishing line. In the second embodiment, a description will be given of a fishing float which is formed in a non-linear shape in a portion in contact with a fishing line.

[Embodiment 1] First, Embodiment 1
This will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of the configuration of a fishing float according to the present invention. FIG.
2 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the relationship between the fishing line and the glass pipe. FIG. 4 shows a partial sectional view of a fishing float using a glass pipe having a substantially spherical end.

A fishing float 12 shown in FIG.
It is composed of a plastic pipe 14, a glass pipe 18, and the like. Specifically, the plastic pipe 14 is first fixed to the through hole 16 provided substantially at the center of the buoyant body 10, and the glass pipe 18 is further fixed inside the plastic pipe 14. Usually, it is fixed using an adhesive, but it may be fixed by screwing or fitting. Here, the buoyant body 10 is formed of wood, styrene foam, plastic, rubber, or the like. In addition, even if it is a member which does not have buoyancy as it is, if it is a member which can obtain buoyancy by forming hollow, it can be applied as the buoyant body 10. The outer diameter of the glass pipe 18 is made substantially equal to the inner diameter of the plastic pipe 14. In this case, the plastic pipe 14 and the glass pipe 18 do not necessarily have to be bonded. This is because it can be held by the frictional force between them. If not, the glass pipe 18 can be attached to or detached from the plastic pipe 14 of the fishing float 12 at any time.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view (II-II sectional view) of the fishing float 12 formed as described above. In FIG. 2, a plastic pipe 14 corresponding to a shock absorbing material is interposed between the glass pipe 18 and the buoyant body 10. Therefore, even if an impact is applied to the fishing float 12 from the outside, the impact is absorbed by the plastic pipe 14. Therefore, the fishing float 12 has increased resistance to impact.
Here, the end (one side or both sides) of the glass pipe 18 is rounded. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view showing this state. In FIG. 3, the end 18 a of the glass pipe 18 has a rounded portion in contact with the fishing line 20.
Therefore, even if the fishing line 20 is strongly pulled, the frictional force is not so much generated and the fishing line 20 moves smoothly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fishing line 20 from being broken.

On the other hand, the end of the glass pipe 18 may be formed in a substantially spherical shape, an example of which is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the end 18b of the glass pipe 18 is formed in a substantially spherical shape, so that the same action as the end 18a occurs. Further, since the opening area is narrowed down by the end portion 18b, the fishing line 20 can be reliably stopped at the position of the marking. Further, the number of portions where the glass pipe 18 and the fishing line 20 come into contact with each other is reduced, so that the fishing float 12 can be moved more smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20.

According to the first embodiment, the glass pipe 18 is used, in which the frictional force generated between the plastic pipe and the fishing line 20 is significantly smaller than that of a conventionally used plastic pipe. Therefore, the fishing float 12 can be smoothly moved with respect to the fishing line 20. Therefore, the fishing line 20
Can be accelerated. In addition, since the plastic pipe 14 (impact absorbing material) is interposed between the glass pipe 18 and the buoyant body 10, the plastic pipe 14 absorbs an external shock applied to the fishing float 12. Therefore, the resistance to impact can be increased. Further, since the end portion 18a of the glass pipe 18 is rounded, even if the fishing line 20 is strongly pulled, almost no frictional force is generated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fishing line 20 from being broken. Since the end portion 18b of the glass pipe 18 is formed in a substantially spherical shape, the opening area is reduced and the bending of the fishing line 20 is improved. In this way, the portion where the glass pipe 18 and the fishing line 20 come into contact with each other is reduced, so that the fishing float 12 can be moved more smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20. Therefore, the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be further increased.

Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 5 shows almost all of the inner cylinder side surface.
An example of a pipe forming the vertical cross-sectional shape in a non-linear Te are shown in cross-section. FIG. 6 is an external view of an example of a pipe formed in a helical spring shape. FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing an example of a pipe formed in a helical spring shape. In addition, fishing float 1
The buoyant body 10 and the plastic pipe 14 constituting 2 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Therefore, different points from the first embodiment will be described to simplify the description.

First, a glass pipe 22 is used instead of the glass pipe 18 in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the glass pipe 22 is formed such that substantially the entire vertical section is substantially wavy. The end of the glass pipe 22 is rounded similarly to the glass pipe 18. When the fishing float 12 is formed using the glass pipe 22, since the inner cylinder side of the glass pipe 22 is formed not in a straight line but in a wavy shape, the portion in contact with the fishing line 20 is significantly reduced as compared with the conventional case. . Therefore, the generation of the frictional force (resistance) due to the contact is also greatly reduced, so that the fishing float 12 can be moved remarkably and smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20. Therefore, the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be drastically increased. The above vertical section
It is sufficient that not only the entire surface is formed in a wavy shape, but also irregularities other than straight lines, such as a triangular shape (saw blade shape), are formed on almost the entire inner cylinder side surface of the pipe. Further, if conditions to form a longitudinal cross-sectional shape in a non-linear for substantially all of the inner cylinder surface of the pipe, the glass pipe 22
In addition, a pipe formed of another material such as plastic may be used. Even in these cases, the fishing float 12 is moved remarkably smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20,
The drop speed of the fishing line 20 can be drastically increased.

Second, a glass pipe 24 is used instead of the glass pipe 18 in the first embodiment. As shown in the external view of FIG. 6 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7, the glass pipe 24 is formed by spirally winding a glass wire to form a spiral spring. When the fishing float 12 is formed by using the glass pipe 24, the inner cylinder side is not straight but wavy as in the case of the glass pipe 22. Therefore, the number of portions that come into contact with the fishing line 20 is significantly reduced as compared with the related art, and the generation of frictional force (resistance) due to the contact is also significantly reduced. Therefore, the fishing float 12 can be moved remarkably smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20, and the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be drastically increased. In addition, the material formed in the helical spring-shaped pipe is not limited to glass, but a shape memory alloy having a superelastic function (for example, Ni-Ti alloy or Ni-Ti-Co alloy), metal, glass fiber, carbon fiber,
It may be formed by combining with any member (or two or more members thereof) of synthetic fiber such as carbon fiber and metal fiber such as amorphous fiber, or may be formed by using a part thereof. Even with such a material, the fishing float 12 can be drastically and smoothly moved with respect to the fishing line 20, and the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be drastically increased.

According to the second embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape of the inner pipe side surface of each of the glass pipes 22 and 24 (pipe) is formed non-linearly,
The portion where the fishing line 20 and the fishing line 20 come into contact is greatly reduced. As a result, the frictional force (resistance) associated with the contact is greatly reduced,
The fishing float 12 can be moved remarkably and smoothly with respect to the fishing line. Therefore, the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be drastically increased. If at least a part of the cross-sectional shape of the inner pipe side surfaces of the glass pipes 22 and 24 (pipe) is formed in a non-linear shape, the fishing line 20
The number of parts that come into contact with the device decreases. Therefore, for example, a member formed in a bellows shape (specifically, a shape used for a drain hose or the like of a washing machine) can be similarly applied. Also in this case, the above effects can be obtained.

[Other Embodiments] The fishing float 12 described above.
In the above, the structure, shape, size, material, number, arrangement, operating conditions, and the like of the other parts are not limited to the above embodiment. For example, each of the following embodiments to which the above embodiment is applied may be implemented.

(1) In the first and second embodiments, the glass pipes 18, 22, 24 are used, but a ceramic pipe may be used. Similar to the glass pipe, the ceramic pipe also has a significantly smaller frictional force with the fishing line 20 as compared with a conventionally used plastic pipe. Therefore, the fishing float 12 can be moved smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20, and the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be increased. (2) In the first and second embodiments, the plastic pipe 14 is used as the shock absorbing material. However, the shock applied to the fishing float 12 from outside, such as rubber (for example, silicone rubber), an adhesive, or paint, is applied. You may apply the member which can be absorbed. Even with these members, the impact applied to the fishing float 12 from the outside is absorbed by the impact absorbing material. Therefore, protect the glass pipe or ceramic pipe,
Resistance to impact can be increased.

(3) In the first embodiment, the end portion 18b of the glass pipe 18 is formed in a substantially spherical shape. However, the end portion 18b may be formed in another shape having a partially rounded portion. Such other shapes include, for example, a hemisphere and a bell shape. Even in this case, if the portion that comes into contact with the fishing line 20 is a rounded portion, even if the fishing line 20 is strongly pulled, little frictional force is generated. Therefore, the fishing line 20 can be smoothly moved, and the occurrence of breakage of the fishing line 20 can be prevented. In addition, since the opening area is narrowed down, the fishing line 20 can be reliably stopped at the position of the marking. Further, since the number of contact points between the glass pipe 18 and the fishing line 20 is reduced, the fishing float 12
Can be moved more smoothly with respect to the fishing line 20. (4) In the first embodiment, the plastic pipe 14 (shock absorbing material) is provided between the glass pipe 18 and the buoyant body 10.
The shock was absorbed by intervening to improve the resistance due to the shock.
Instead of this mode, the resistance of the glass pipe 18 itself may be increased. Examples of increasing the resistance of the glass pipe 18 itself include a method of forming the glass pipe 18 with tempered glass, and a method of forming a glass pipe 18 by embedding a wire. In this case, plastic pipe 1
4, the resistance to impact can be increased. Therefore, since the plastic pipe 14 is not required, the manufacturing cost of the fishing float 12 can be reduced.

(5) In Embodiments 1 and 2, cylindrical glass pipes 18, 22, and 24 are applied as shown in FIG. Instead of this form, a polygonal tube such as a triangular tube or a square tube may be applied. The same applies to the plastic pipe 14 used as a shock absorber. Also in this case, the fishing float 12 can be smoothly moved with respect to the fishing line 20, and the falling speed of the fishing line 20 can be increased. (6) In the first and second embodiments, the glass pipes 18 and
22 and 24 (or ceramic pipe)
0 was provided at substantially the center. Instead of this mode, a pipe formed of a material having a smaller frictional force with the fishing line 20 than a conventional plastic pipe may be provided. Even in this case, the fishing float 12 is conventionally connected to the fishing line 2.
0, the fishing line 20 can be moved smoothly.
Can be accelerated.

[0025]

According to the present invention, the frictional force generated between the glass pipe and the ceramic pipe and the fishing line is significantly smaller than that of the plastic pipe used conventionally. Therefore, the fishing float can be moved smoothly with respect to the fishing line. Also, glass pipe or sera
