Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure which is a bait for fishing, and more particularly to a light emitting lure having a light emitting function effective for attracting fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A lure fishing using a lure, which is a pseudo bait simulating the shape of a small fish, invites a target fish that prey on a small fish to catch it by manipulating the lure as if it were a living small fish. . This lure fishing is called a tackle, considering the technical factors such as the type of target fish, the conditions of the fishing ground, the changing factors such as season, time zone, weather, etc. and the action of the target fish that the lure is interested in. It is a systematic fishing that makes full use of the tools used. In particular, it is important that the lure, which is a simulated bait, be devised so as to attract the interest and appetite of the target fish, and the pseudo bait cannot induce the sense of smell of the target fish. The emphasis is on calling. As a function for that purpose, a behavior that attracts the target fish is generated by being drawn to the line, and at the same time, reflection of light, swimming sound, etc. are generated to attract the target fish.

Reflection of light is effective in attracting fish, but the effect of natural light is reduced in a lure that is moved in water, so that its effect is reduced. In addition, natural light cannot be used at the time from dawn and dusk when fishing is most expected. In order to enhance the fish-collecting effect of light regardless of such changes in the situation, light-emitting lures incorporating a light-emitting body have been developed. Some light emitters utilize light emission by a chemical reaction, but in order to obtain a stable light emitting state, a battery and a light emitting diode that emits light using this battery as a power source are often used as a light emitting lure. There is.

The light-emitting lure shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-142485, and as shown in FIG. 7, a light-emitting body and a battery are provided in a fish-shaped case simulating a small fish. A fish-shaped case for housing the head 41 and the tail 4
It is formed so that it can be divided into two parts, and a hook 43 is hung on the abdomen of the head part 41 and the tail part 42 respectively. As shown in FIG. 8, the light-emitting diode 44 and the battery 48 are housed in the fish-shaped case, and the light-emitting diode 44 is turned on by using the battery 48 as a power source. The positions of the parts are in a light emitting state.

The head portion 41 and the tail portion 42 are formed by the head portion 41.
By screwing the female screw 42a formed on the rear portion 42 into the male screw 41a formed on the above, both are integrated by a screwing structure. When replacing the battery 48, if the rear portion 42 is unscrewed from the head portion 41, the battery 48 held by the head portion 41 is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the consumed battery 48 is pulled out from the battery mounting portion 45, and a new battery 48 is attached. Is inserted into the battery mounting portion 45, and the tail portion 42 is screwed into the head portion 41 again. Further, when not in use, the side of the battery 48 formed in a cylindrical shape having no electrode is placed on the battery mounting portion 4
5, the connection to the light emitting diode 44 is opened to prevent unnecessary battery consumption, and when used, as shown in FIG.
The electrode side of the battery 48 is inserted into the battery mounting portion 45 and the light emitting diode 44 is turned on. Even when the light emitting diode 44 is turned on / off, the rear portion 42 is moved to the head 4
The operation to attach and detach from 1 is performed.

[0006]

Since the light-emitting lure has a battery housed in a small fish-shaped case simulating a small fish, it cannot be used with a large battery capacity, and the battery per volume is small. Even when a lithium battery having a large capacity is used, if the light emitting diode is continuously turned on, the duration is about several hours, so that the frequency of battery replacement increases. In order to reduce the consumption of the battery, it is necessary to frequently perform switching operation for turning on / off the light emitting diode as shown in the above-mentioned conventional configuration. At the time of this battery replacement or the operation of turning on / off the light-emitting body, the work of opening the case and attaching / detaching the battery is involved, but in order to remove the tail portion 42 screwed to the head portion 41 as in the conventional configuration. Not only does it take time to loosen and tighten the screws, but also the hook 4
Since the tail portion 42 to which 3 is attached is to be rotated, the hook 43 may hurt a finger or the hook 4 during work.
There was a problem that 3 was entangled with clothes.

Further, since the light emission of the light emitting lure by the light emitting diode is on both sides of the head, the visibility from the fish in the body side direction is high, but the fish showing an interest in the light emitting lure tries to track the light emitting lure. There was a problem that the visibility from the fish decreased when it went around to the rear of the fish, and the attractive effect decreased.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to make it possible to easily and safely replace a battery in a light emitting lure and to improve a fish collecting effect. It is to provide a luminous lure.

[0009]

The present invention for achieving the above object provides a fish-shaped case formed in a pseudo-fish shape,
In a light-emitting lure having a battery and a light-emitting body that emits light using the battery as a power source, the fish-shaped case closes a main body and an opening in which an internal space formed in the main body opens toward the outside. formed with a preparative, lid portion by inserting and removing the predetermined portion of the lid portion in a longitudinal direction of the body portion is configured to be detachable from the main body portion, said body portion a hook and the light emitter Through the light from

[0014]

Further, by arranging a light-emitting body on the head side of the pseudo fish shape, and by arranging such that light from this light-emitting body emits light from a region extending from both sides on the head side to its bottom, light emission is achieved. Due to the light from the body, the entire area of the fish-shaped case from the head side to the abdomen becomes a luminous lure that emits light. The bright emission state on both sides is easily visible to the fish in the far range on both sides that the lure passes by, and when the interested fish is following the lure, the head side is shining, so attract the fish with light that is not too bright. . In other words, it is possible to obtain a luminescent effect that matches the prey behavior of a fish by emitting a bright light so that the behavioral vision of a distant fish can be recognized and does not impair the morphological vision when the fish starts to follow. it can.

Further, since the reflecting surface for reflecting the light from the light emitter toward the bottom is provided closer to the head than the position where the light emitter is disposed, the luminous intensity at the bottom of the fish-shaped case is improved. It is possible to enhance the attractiveness of light to fish following the luminous lure.

Further, by constructing a plurality of beads that scatter light in a partition provided at the position where the luminous body is disposed, the plurality of beads jump in response to the shaking caused by the movement of the luminous lure. Vibration and sound are generated at the same time as the light is scattered, and the effect of attracting fish can be enhanced.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention.
The embodiments described below are examples of embodying the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows the outer shape of a light emitting lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is constructed as a hopper type lure used on the surface of water. This hopper type lure is shaped like a fish with open mouth,
By being drawn by a line (fishing line) connected to the eyelet fitting 15 attached to the head, the fish floats and sinks from the water surface, making a sound of water and attracting fish. Further, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, as a light-emitting lure including a battery 4 and a light-emitting diode 5 that emits light using the battery 4 as a power source, the fish-shaped case 1 also has an effect of attracting fish by light.

The fish-shaped case 1 for accommodating the battery 4 and the light emitting diode 5 is formed in a pseudo-fish shape by translucent resin, permeable to whole area over that bottom portion from both sides of the head side shown by a broken line in FIG. 1 Light- emitting part (translucent part) P (Fig. 1 )
(In the area indicated by the broken line) is formed, and the other part is painted in a pattern simulating the appearance of a fish. In addition, hooks 6 are hung from the front and rear of the bottom part, and the fish that has preyed on the light emitting lure is hooked and caught.

The fish-shaped case 1 comprises a body portion 2 and a lid portion 3 that closes the opening of the inner space of the body portion 2 which opens rearward. The main body 2 has a hollow structure at a predetermined portion of each of the left and right cases divided into a left case and a right case at a center line from the head to the tail of the fish-shaped case 1, and is formed at a position facing each of the left and right cases. The concavo-convex portion is fitted and the peripheral facing surfaces are adhered to each other to form a closed structure in which only the opening portion is opened to the outside. The eyelet fittings 15 at three places used for connecting the lines and suspending the hooks 6 are attached by utilizing fitting projections formed at predetermined positions when joining the left and right cases. As shown in the drawing, the hook 6 is connected to the eyelet fitting 15 via a split ring 18 and is attached so as to be freely swingable.

The lid 3 is different from the body 2 in the body 2.
When the lid part 3 is attached to the main body part 2, the light emitting diode 5 is housed in the fish case 1 as shown in FIG. The light of the light emitting diode 5 lit by the battery 4 is reflected by the reflector 14 and illuminates the bottom direction, and the direct light illuminates both side surfaces on the head side. These illumination parts are light emission parts P where the translucency of the fish-shaped case 1 remains when it is painted in a pattern simulating the appearance of fish. Further, glass beads 16 are provided in the space below the light emitting diode 5.
Is included, and scatters light, vibrates, and produces sound according to the movement of the light-emitting lure.

FIG. 3 shows a state where the lid body portion 3 is pulled out from the main body portion 2, and the pulling-out operation of the lid body portion 3 is one of the fin-shaped protruding portions formed on the upper portion of the lid body portion 3. Since it can be carried out by hooking the nail hooking portion 7 formed by cutting out the portion, the lid body portion 3 can be attached and detached with one touch,
The extracting operation is easy. The lid 3 is the main body 2
The inner space is attached to the main body portion 2 by inserting the insertion portion 8 into the opening portion 20 that opens rearward, and the end portion of the opening portion 20 is hermetically sealed by the O-ring 11 fitted into the neck portion of the insertion portion 8 by the attachment. The groove 1 which is sealed in the structure and is formed on the insertion direction side from the fitting position of the O-ring 11.
The spring member 13 attached to the main body portion 2 is fitted into 2 to hold the lid portion 3 attached.

FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the fitting structure between the main body 2 and the lid portion 3, and an O-ring is attached to the neck portion of the insertion portion 8 inserted into the main body portion 2 of the lid portion 3. 11 is fitted, and a groove 12 is formed on the circumference parallel to the O-ring 11 on the insertion direction side. When the insertion portion 8 of the lid portion 3 is inserted into the opening 20 of the main body portion 2, as shown in FIG. 5, the spring member 13 whose one end side is embedded and held in the bottom portion of the main body portion 2 and cantilevered is supported by the groove. 12 and holds the lid portion 3 so as to pull it in the insertion direction, the O-ring 11 is closely attached to the flange portion 19 formed in the circumferential direction of the opening portion 20 toward the opening center direction, At the same time as closing the opening 20 in a hermetically closed state, the lid 3 is securely attached to the main body 2.

When pulling out the lid portion 3 from the body portion 2,
When the nail is hooked on the hook 7 and pressure is applied in the extraction direction, the spring member 13 is disengaged from the groove 12 and the insertion portion 8 is smoothly pulled out as it is, and the battery held in the hollow structure of the insertion portion 8 is held. 4 and the light emitting diode 5 can also be drawn out. The battery 4 and the light emitting diode 5 are shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting unit 9 is integrally configured, and the cylindrical battery 4 is detachably held in the holding portion 10 to which the light emitting diode 5 is attached.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lid portion 3 is attached to the main body portion 2.
When the light emitting unit 9 is extracted from the main body 2, the light emitting unit 9 is extracted from the inside of the main body 2. The light emitting unit 9 is detachably held in the insertion portion 8 and the battery 4 is detachably held in the holding portion 10. Therefore, when the light emitting lure is not used, it is shown in FIG. So that the electrode portion 4a of the battery 4
When the electrode portion 4a of the battery 4 is inserted into the holding portion 10 as shown in FIG. 4a
Is connected to the light emitting diode 5, and the light emitting diode 5 lights up. In this way, switching on / off of the light emitting lure can be easily performed by inserting / removing the battery 4. Therefore, even when the battery 4 is exhausted, the battery can be replaced by the same operation.

When the lid portion 3 is pulled out from the main body portion 2 in order to replace the battery and turn on / off the light emitting diode 5, the fingernail is put on the nail hooking portion 7 and pulled out as described above. It is possible to operate and just insert it when inserting. Therefore, unlike the case of the screw-in type shown in the conventional configuration, there is no need for time-consuming attachment and detachment, and no large action is involved, so that the lid portion 3
The risk of catching a finger on the hook 6 at the time of attachment / detachment and avoiding injury is avoided. Further , since the hook 6 is not attached to the lid portion 3, the degree of hooking fingers with the hook 6 is further reduced.

The luminous lure having the above structure is shown in FIG. 6 (b).
By inserting the battery 4 into the holding portion 10 in the direction as shown in FIG. 2 and mounting the light emitting unit 9 on the lid body portion 3 with the light emitting diode 5 lit, the lid body portion 3 is inserted into the body portion 2. It can be used as a light emitting lure. The light emitted from the light-emitting diode 5 is emitted from the lower part of both side surfaces on the head side where the reflected light reflected by the reflection plate 14 and the direct light are scattered by the glass beads 16 and the translucency is left by coating, to the bottom part. Radiated from the part P to the outside. When both sides of the lure are shining brightly in this way, it is easy to be recognized by fish in a far range on the side, and in the hopper type that moves near the water surface like the luminous lure of this embodiment. The light emitted from the bottom makes it easier for fish to see.

Since the fish has eyes on both sides of its head,
Rather than seeing one thing with both eyes, I often see each other with monocular vision, and in this monocular state I can not clearly see the lateral direction but sensitively search for a wide range of movements You can This monocular vision is a state of behavioral vision in which an enemy is searched for food, and the light of the luminescent lure of this configuration is recognized even from a distance by this behavioral vision. Therefore, the luminous lure is more visible to fish than a normal lure. In particular, in the hours when it is easy to obtain fishing results for several hours from dawn and dusk, a normal lure is hard to be visually recognized, but a luminous lure exhibits effective fish collecting property due to its light emission.

When the fish is interested in the one caught by the action vision, the fish approaches and starts tracking when it is judged to be bait by the morphological vision in which the body is directed in that direction and put in the visual field of both eyes. When the moving lure is being tracked, the fish is looking at the lure from the back, so the light on the head side of the lure is weakly shining backward, which makes the approaching fish feel uncomfortable. Does not produce strong light. Therefore, the tracked fish does not feel uncomfortable even when the light emitting lure is visually recognized by the morphological vision, and the fish is caught by the hook 6 and caught when the prey behavior is performed.

In the embodiment described above, the hopper type lure has been described, but other types of lures such as the minnow type can be similarly constructed.
