[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a live bait container used for fishing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Up to now, a plastic bucket has been generally used as a container for storing raw bait, but such a bucket has a drawback that it is bulky because it cannot be folded. In addition, recently, a container whose side surface is formed of a plastic sheet such as a vinyl chloride sheet is commercially available. However, in the case of such a container, if the sheet thickness is large, the shape-retaining property is not improved. It is excellent, but it becomes difficult to fold it in the height direction, and it becomes easier to fold it when the sheet thickness is reduced, but it has a problem that it is difficult to return to the original container shape due to poor resilience and it easily collapses. there were. Further, in such a conventional container, for example, when the shrimp is put in and transported, since the peripheral side surface of the container is flat and there is no unevenness, the legs of the shrimp do not get caught on the peripheral side surface of the container, and the shrimp does not come out of the container. There was a problem that the shrimp collided with the peripheral side surface and weakened, and there was also a problem that it was difficult to take out the shrimp from the container because the shrimp did not stand by leaning against the peripheral side surface of the container.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The live food container of the present invention has one or more hand straps attached to the upper end portion of the container body having an upper opening, and the peripheral side surface of the container body has a plurality of small holes. A mesh sheet is used, and the material of the mesh sheet is ethylene-vinyl acetate resin (EVA). According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the container body in the above-mentioned raw food container is also composed of an EVA mesh sheet having a plurality of small holes like the peripheral side surface of the container body. Have. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the container body in the above-mentioned raw food container is made of EVA sheet, and the peripheral side surface of the container body is a mesh sheet having the small holes, It has a double structure consisting of an EVA sheet located outside the mesh sheet, and a lid body that can openably and closably cover the mouth portion of the container body is attached to the upper end portion of the container body.

First, the structure of a preferred embodiment of the live food container of the present invention is shown in the drawings, and the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a view showing an appearance of a preferred example of the live food container of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view of a live food container of the present invention having an appearance and a structure different from those shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a view including a partial breakage, and FIG. 3 shows the raw food container of the present invention in which the side surface of the container body 1 is composed of the mesh sheet 3 located on the inner peripheral side and the EVA sheet 6 located on the outer peripheral side. It is a figure including a partial fracture.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container body 1 of the live food container of the present invention has an opening at the top and has a peripheral side surface and a bottom surface, and the overall shape thereof is particularly limited. The shape of the container body 1 may be substantially cylindrical or prismatic, and as shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional area of the container body 1 gradually decreases toward the bottom side. It may be one. Further, in the live food container of the present invention, the hand cord 2 is attached to the upper end portion of the container body 1, and even if the hand cord 2 is one as shown in FIG. As described above, it may be two as long as it is attached to a position where the container can be stably carried. As shown in FIG. 2, a structure having a structure that supports four upper end portions of the container body 1 is preferable because it has excellent stability especially when carried. The cord 2 may be a cord or an elongated strip, but in the case of a cord-shaped cord, a ring-shaped metal fitting or the like is attached to the attachment portion of the container body 1. It is generally provided to prevent the cord 2 from coming off by forming a knot. In the case of a strip-shaped hand strap, it may be sewn to the container body 1.

In the present invention, the peripheral side surface of the container body 1 is formed of a cylindrical mesh sheet 3, and the mesh sheet 3 is provided with a plurality of small holes 4 at a constant pitch (interval). ), And the small hole 4 may be any as long as the raw bait contained in the container body 1 cannot pass through to the outside, but the inner diameter of the small hole 4 is preferably 1.5 mm to 5 mm. However, the pitch between the centers of the small holes 4 is preferably 2.5 mm to 6 mm, and the thickness of the mesh sheet 3 is generally 0.5 to 2 mm. Further, in the present invention, since the mesh sheet 3 is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate resin (EVA), the peripheral side surface of the container body 1 can be easily formed by applying a force from above the container body 1. The container is folded in the height direction of the container and can be stored in a narrow space before using the container. When the container is taken out, it will naturally regain its original shape without applying force due to the repulsive force due to the characteristics of EVA. The container body 1 has no wrinkles on the peripheral side surface thereof, is excellent in appearance, and has good shape retention of the restored container body 1. In the present invention, a commercially available product (EVA mesh sheet) manufactured by heating can be used as the mesh sheet 3 made of EVA, which is convenient.

In the live food container of the present invention, a linear member such as an elongated metal wire is provided at the position of the mouth of the container body 1 so that the shape of the mouth of the container body 1 is not deformed. It is preferable to provide a linear frame member 8 formed by bending or bending (see FIGS. 1 and 2), and the material of the bottom portion of the container body 1 is not particularly limited, but as shown in FIG. The bottom of the container body 1 is also preferably the EVA mesh sheet 3 that constitutes the peripheral side surface of the container body 1. In order to prevent the bottom surface from being easily deformed, the above EVA mesh sheet is used. It is preferable to have a bottom structure having an overlap. The container body 1 having the structure shown in FIG. 2 can be easily manufactured by heat-bonding the EVA mesh sheet forming the peripheral side surface of the container body 1 and the EVA mesh sheet forming the bottom surface at the periphery of the bottom surface.

In the live food container of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the container is pulled up from the water, the water in the container passes through the small holes 4 of the mesh sheet 3 to the outside. Since it is excreted and has a good draining effect, the preservability (feed retention) of raw bait is good. In addition, the live food container of the present invention having such a structure can be used by putting it in a cooler box which can accommodate the container body 1 inside.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the live food container according to the present invention is suitable for containing live food such as shrimp and has a structure in which the water contained in the container does not overflow. The peripheral side surface of the container body 1 has a double structure including a mesh sheet 3 having a plurality of small holes 4 and an EVA sheet 6 located outside the mesh sheet 3, and the bottom surface of the container body 1 Is made of EVA sheet 5, and a lid 7 is attached to the upper end of the container body 1 to cover the mouth of the container body 1 in an openable and closable manner. In the container body 1 having such a structure, since the peripheral side surface and the bottom surface are made of the same material, the mesh sheet 3 forming the peripheral side surface and the lower side of the EVA sheet 6 together form the bottom surface EVA sheet 5 It can be manufactured by heat-bonding with the peripheral edge of.

The lid 7 in the present invention may be any one that can openably and closably cover the mouth of the container body 1, but as shown in FIG. It is particularly preferable that the outer peripheral portion of the body 7 is fixed by a slide fastener (chuck) 9, and in this case, the mouth portion of the container body 1 can be easily opened and closed, and the lid body 7 can be securely attached. It can be fixed to the mouth of the container body 1 and is very easy to use. In the present invention, it is preferable that the lid 7 is made of a transparent sheet, and in this case, the state of the raw food in the container can be observed from the outside, which is convenient. It should be noted that by attaching, as the hand cord 2, to the container body 1 having a structure in which a cord is passed through a plastic tubular body, the hand cord becomes even easier to hold.

As shown in FIG. 3, in a live food container in which the peripheral side surface of the container body 1 has a double structure of the mesh sheet 3 and the EVA sheet 6, the shrimp is put in the container for transportation. When the shrimp are caught, the legs of the shrimp are caught in the small holes 4 of the mesh sheet 3, so that the shrimp leans against the peripheral side surface of the container and stands up. It is also easy to remove the shrimp from the container.
