Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ルアーフィッシングに用いるタングステンまたはタングステン合金製のルアーに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ルアーフィッシングに用いるルアーは、ルアー本体とこれに取り付く仕掛け止着部とからなり、当該仕掛け止着部にラインやフック等の仕掛けが止着されている。
そして、この種のルアーは、水中に速やかに沈下し、また、キャスティングの際に長い飛距離が確保できるようにルアー全体を大重量にする必要があり、このため、メタルジグと称される金属製のルアーの多くは、加工の容易な鉛を用いてルアー本体が成形されている。
【0003】
而して、斯かるルアーの製造は、両端に仕掛け止着部が成形されたステンレス等の金属製芯材(止着部材)を金型内に配した後、金型内に鉛等の溶湯を充填,固化する方法が広く用いられ、これにより、ルアー本体の長手方向に金属製芯材が貫通し、仕掛け止着部がルアー本体の外側に突出したルアーが製造されている。
しかし、このように製造されたルアーは、金属製芯材に鉛の溶融金属が固化して取り付いているだけであるため、長期に亘る使用でルアー本体に対して金属製芯材がガタ付いてしまう虞が指摘されていた。
【0004】
また、既述したように水中で速やかに沈下し、キャスティングの飛距離を延ばすためにルアー全体を大重量にする必要があるが、鉛製のルアーでは、重量を増加させるためにルアー全体を大型化せざるを得ず、この結果、体積が大きくなって流され易く、水の抵抗も増えて所要の沈下速度を得ることができないのが実情であった。
【0005】
更にまた、ルアーをキャスティングする際にも、慣性力を増加させるためにルアー全体を大重量化すると、体積の大型化に伴い空気の抵抗を受けてしまう等の不具合が指摘されていた。
そこで、昨今、図12に示すようにルアー本体1を鉛より高比重のタングステン合金で成形して、その前部と後部側に止め輪(仕掛け止着部)3,5を介してラインやフック7を止着可能としたルアー9が特開平10−309150号公報に開示されている。
【0006】
尚、図中、10はルアー本体1の表面にコーティングされた合成樹脂の被覆層である。
而して、斯かるルアー9によれば、ルアー全体を鉛で成形した従来例に比し、小型化を図りつつルアー9全体の重量増が可能となる。
【0007】
また、同様の趣旨から特開平11−56169号公報には、図13及び図14の如く鉛製のルアー本体11内にタングステン等の高比重金属で成形したパイプ状の芯材13を埋設すると共に、両端側にアイ(仕掛け止着部)15,17を連結したワイヤ19を当該芯材13に挿通させて、アイ15,17をルアー本体11の前部と後部に突出させたルアー21が開示されており、このルアー21によれば、ルアー本体を鉛のみで成形した場合に比し、同じ大きさで重量増が図れることとなる。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし乍ら、図12に示すルアー9は、ルアー本体1の前部と後部側に止め輪3,5をどのように止着しているかその構造が不明で、ルアー本体1に対する止め輪3,5の取付強度が十分でない可能性がある。
即ち、既述したように鉛製のルアーは、両端部に仕掛け止着部を有する金属製芯材を金型内に配した後、鉛の溶湯を流し込みこれを固化させて製造しているが、タングステンは溶融温度が高いため同様の成形ができない。
【0009】
従って、タングステンやタングステン合金製のルアーは仕掛け止着部をルアー本体に設けることが困難であり、仕掛け止着部をルアー本体にしっかりと固定することが難しい。
また、図13に示す従来例は、芯材13を高比重金属で成形したにも拘わらず、当該芯材13を大容量の鉛で被覆してしまうため、大きさの割りに重量が増加せず、あまり沈下速度の早いルアーとならないのが実情である。
【0010】
而も、芯材13を被覆する鉛は変形し易く傷の付き易い性質上、大きな魚がかかってルアー本体11が変形したり、根掛り等によって表面に傷が付き易い等の欠点も指摘されていた。
本発明は斯かる実情に鑑み案出されたもので、上述の如き不具合を解消し、ルアー全体の小型化を図りつつ所要の重量を確保し、併せて止着部材や止着部のズレや脱落のないタングステンやタングステン合金からなるルアーを提供することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
斯かる目的を達成するため、請求項1に係るルアーは、タングステンまたはタングステン合金で一体に製造され、止着部材取付孔が貫設されたルアー本体と、上記止着部材取付孔に軸部が挿通し、当該軸部の端部に成形された止着部がルアー本体の外側に突出する止着部材とからなり、上記ルアー本体の止着部材取付孔をテーパ状に形成すると共に、上記止着部材の軸部を当該止着部材取付孔に沿ったテーパ状に形成して、止着部材に対するルアー本体のズレを規制する係合部としたことを特徴とする。
【0012】
そして、請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1に記載のルアーに於て、上記止着部材は、止着部材取付孔内でルアー本体に圧着されていることを特徴とし、請求項3に係る発明は、請求項1または請求項2に記載のルアーに於て、上記止着部材は、止着部材取付孔内でルアー本体に接着されていることを特徴とする。
【0013】
(作用)
各請求項に係る発明によれば、ルアー本体が鉛より比重の大きいタングステンまたはタングステン合金で成形されているため、従来のルアーに比し形状の小型化が図れ、且つ重量増が図れることとなる。
このため、キャスティングされたルアーは、従来のルアーに比し体積の小型化に伴い空気抵抗が減って飛距離が伸び、また、体積の小型化に伴い流され難く水の抵抗も減ることも相俟って、沈下速度が早まる。
【0014】
そして、魚がルアーをくわえると、その引きでルアー本体に力が掛かるが、テーパ状に形成された止着部材取付孔に、当該止着部材取付孔に沿ってテーパ状に形成された止着部材が係合して止着部材に対するルアー本体のズレを規制し、ルアー本体と止着部材の分離を防止する。
また、請求項2に係る発明によれば、止着部材が止着部材取付孔内でルアー本体に圧着されて、止着部材に対するルアー本体のズレがより確実に規制され、請求項3に係る発明によれば、止着部材が止着部材取付孔内でルアー本体に接着されて、止着部材に対するルアー本体のズレがより確実に規制されることとなる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づき説明する。
図1乃至図6は請求項1及び請求項2に係るルアーの第一実施形態を示し、図1に於て、23は粉末冶金法によって製造された比重14.0から19.35(好ましくは16以上)のタングステン合金からなるルアー本体で、図2及び図3に示すように当該ルアー本体23は、魚の形状に似せて前部25から後部27に亘って順次肉厚で幅広なプレート状に一体成形されている。
【0016】
而して、ルアー本体23を成形するタングステン合金は、タングステンとこれより比重の小さいニッケル,モリブデン及びコバルトのうち1または2以上の金属を含んだもので、タングステン含有量は70重量%以上100重量%未満とされている。
また、タングステン合金のルアー本体23は、ルアー全体の60重量%以上の重さを有している。
【0017】
このようにタングステン含有量を70重量%以上とするのは、ルアーに必要な比重(比重14.0以上)を得るためであり、また、含有量を100重量%未満としたのは、タングステンの融点が3380℃と高く高温でなければ焼結しないためであるが、ニッケルを添加することによって焼結温度を1500℃程度に下げることができる。
【0018】
これによって、比重が鉛(比重11.3)より大きい14.0〜19.35のタングステン合金製ルアー本体23が得られ、このとき、ルアー本体23のビッカース硬さ(JIS Z 2244)がHV200以上であると、表面に傷が付き難く好ましいものとなる。
【0019】
但し、硬度を低下させて加工性を向上するため、タングステン合金に銅や鉄を含有させてルアー本体23の研磨加工等を行ってもよく、この場合、表面に防錆処理をしておくとよい。
そして、図3及び図4の如く1本の縦長な止着部材取付孔(以下、「取付孔」という)29が、ルアー本体23の前部25から後部27に亘って中央に貫設され、当該取付孔29にラインとフック31を止着する止着部材33が取り付けられている。
【0020】
図5に示すように止着部材33は、鉄,ステンレス,チタン合金等の金属板を恰もアイスクリームの柄の如き形状に打ち抜いたもので、前部35側から後部37側に亘って軸部38が順次幅広な外形テーパ状に成形されると共に、その両端側は更にその外形形状に沿って止着孔39,41が打ち抜かれて、ラインを止着する止着部43と、図1の如くスプリットリング45を介してフック31を止着する止着部47が設けられている。
【0021】
そして、既述した取付孔29は、止着部材33の軸部38の外形形状に沿って、ルアー本体23の前部25から後部27に亘って取付孔29の幅(軸長方向を横切る方向の長さ)が大きくなるように成形されている。そして、図5に示すようにルアー本体23の後部27側から取付孔29内に止着部材33を前部35側から差し込み圧入して、軸部38がこの差込み時の押圧力で取付孔29側に係合,圧着されており、斯様に止着部材33(軸部38)を取付孔29に圧着させると、図6に示すようにルアー本体23の前部25と後部27から止着部43,47が外部に突出し、そして、止着部材33がルアー本体23の取付孔29内で圧着されて、これらが外力で緩むことが防止されている。
【0022】
而して、斯様に止着部材33がルアー本体23に取り付くことで、相対して傾斜する軸部38の上,下部端面49,51と、取付孔29の上,下部内壁53,55とが互いに係合して、止着部材33に対するルアー本体23の図1中、矢印方向(ルアー後方のフック31方向)へのズレを規制する係合部として機能することとなる。
【0023】
また、この係合によって、軸部38の上,下部端面49,51と取付孔29の上,下部内壁53,55は圧着されているため、止着部材33に対するルアー本体23の矢印の逆方向(ルアー前方)へのズレも規制されている。
そして、図1に示すようにルアー本体23の外表面に魚の目57や図示しない鱗模様,色彩等を描き、図2の如く全体を合成樹脂等の被覆層59でコーティングして、本実施形態に係るルアー61が仕上げられている。
【0024】
本実施形態はこのように構成されているから、止着部43に図示しないラインを接続し、止着部47にスプリットリング45を介してフック31を止着すればよく、ルアー本体23は鉛よりも比重の大きいタングステン合金で成形されているため、鉛のみで成形された従来のルアーに比し形状の小型化が図れ、且つ重量増が図れることとなる。
【0025】
このため、キャスティングされたルアー61は、従来のルアーに比し体積の小型化に伴い空気抵抗が減って飛距離が伸び、水中に投下された時は、同じ重さであれば体積の小型化に伴い流され難く水の抵抗も減ることも相俟って沈下速度が早まり、また、深場で小型の餌を好む魚に対し釣果が向上する。
そして、ルアー本体23は表面に傷が付き難い硬度で成形されているため、根掛り等をしても表面に傷が付き難く、大きな魚がかかって変形することもない。
【0026】
また、魚がルアー61をくわえると、その引きでルアー本体23に図1の矢印方向に力が掛かるが、既述したように止着部材33の軸部38の上,下部端面49,51と、取付孔29の上,下部内壁53,55とが互いに係合して、止着部材33に対するルアー本体23の同方向へのズレを規制し、ルアー本体23と止着部材33の分離を防止する。
【0027】
従って、本実施形態に係るルアー61によれば、鉛のみで成形された従来のルアーや図16以下のルアー9,21に比し、キャスティング時の飛距離が伸びると共に沈下速度が早まり、また、表面に傷が付き難く、大きな魚がかかってルアー本体23が変形することもない優れた利点を有する。
更にまた、本実施形態によれば、魚の引きで止着部材33とルアー本体23とが分離して止着部材33が抜け落ちたりガタ付いたりすることがなく、而も、止着部43,47が止着部材33に一体成形されて強度が確保されていることも相俟って、長期に亘りルアー本来の機能を維持することが可能である。
【0028】
尚、上記実施形態は、取付孔29内に止着部材33を圧入して、当該止着部材33をルアー本体23に圧着させたが、取付けに当たり止着部材33の軸部38に接着剤を塗布してもよい。
た、止着部材33は取付孔29に差し込んでから適当長さに切断したり、止着孔39,41を設けてもよい。
【0029】
図7及び図8は請求項1及び請求項2の第二実施形態に係るルアーを示し、図中、63は上述したルアー本体23と同一の材料と製造方法を用いて略同一の外形形状に一体成形されたルアー本体で、その前部65から後部67に亘って1本の縦長な取付孔69が中央に貫設され、当該取付孔69に止着部材71が取り付けられている。
止着部材71は、鉄,ステンレス,チタン合金等の金属板を恰もアイスクリームの柄の如き形状に打ち抜いたもので、図7に示すように当該止着部材71は、前部73側から後部75側に亘って軸部76を同一の縦幅とすると共に、図8の如く後部75側で軸部76の厚みが徐々に肉厚になるように成形したものである。そして、止着部材71の両端側は、更に外形形状に沿って止着孔77,79が打ち抜かれてラインを止着する止着部81と、フックを止着する止着部83が設けられている。
【0030】
そして、ルアー本体63の取付孔69は、止着部材71の軸部76の外形形状に沿って成形されており、ルアー本体63の後部67側から取付孔69内に止着部材71の前部73側から差し込み圧入して、当該止着部材71の軸部76が取付孔69内に圧着されている。そして、斯様に止着部材71(軸部76)を取付孔69に圧着させると、図7に示すようにルアー本体63の前部65と後部67から、止着部81,83が外部に突出するようになっている。
【0031】
而して、斯様に止着部材71がルアー本体23に取り付くことで、図8に示すように止着部材71の軸部76の後部側側面85,87と、取付孔69の後部側側壁89,91とが互いに係合して、止着部材71に対するルアー本体63の図中、矢印方向(ルアー後方のフック方向)へのズレを規制する係合部として機能し、また、取付孔69に止着部材71が圧着されているため、同時に止着部材71に対するルアー前方へのルアー本体63のズレも規制されている。
【0032】
そして、図1に示す実施形態と同様、ルアー本体63の外表面に魚の目や鱗模様,色彩等を描き、図8の如く全体を合成樹脂等の被覆層59でコーティングして、本実施形態に係るルアー93が仕上げられている。
本実施形態はこのように構成されているから、止着部81にラインを接続し、止着部83にスプリットリングを介してフックを止着すればよく、ルアー本体63は鉛よりも比重の大きいタングステン合金で成形されているため、鉛のみで成形された従来のルアーに比し形状の小型化が図れ、且つ重量増が図れることとなる。
【0033】
このため、キャスティングされたルアー93は、従来のルアーに比し体積の小型化に伴い空気抵抗が減って飛距離が伸び、水中に投下された時は、同じ重さであれば体積の小型化に伴い流され難く水の抵抗も減ることも相俟って沈下速度が早まり、また、深場で小型の餌を好む魚に対し釣果が向上する。
【0034】
そして、ルアー本体63は表面に傷が付き難い硬度で成形されているため、根掛り等をしても表面に傷が付き難く、大きな魚がかかって変形することもない。また、魚がルアー63をくわえると、その引きでルアー本体63に図8の矢印方向に力が掛かるが、既述したように止着部材71の軸部76の後部側側面85,87と、取付孔69の後部側側壁89,91とが互いに係合して、止着部材71に対するルアー本体63の同方向へのズレを規制し、ルアー本体63と止着部材71の分離を防止する。
【0035】
従って、本実施形態によっても、図1のルアー61と同様、ルアー93全体の小型化を図りつつ所要の重量を確保し、併せて止着部材71や止着部81,83のズレや脱落,破損がなく、長期に亘ってルアー本来の機能を維持することが可能である。
尚、本実施形態にあっても、取付孔69内への止着部材71の取付けに当たり、止着部材71の軸部76に接着剤を塗布してもよい。
【0045】
9乃至図11は請求項1乃至請求項3に係るルアーの一実施形態を示し、本実施形態は、図1の止着部材33に代え、止着部材を鉄,ステンレス,チタン合金等の金属製線材でリング状に成形し、これをルアー本体23の取付孔29に圧入して接着剤等で接着したもので、以下、本実施形態を図面に基づき説明するが、図1の実施形態と同一のものには同一符号を付してそれらの構造説明は省略する。
【0046】
9乃至図11に於て、129は上述した金属材料からなる1本の線材の両端を溶接してリング状に成形した止着部材で、図11に示すように当該止着部材129は、ルアー本体23に設けた取付孔29の孔形状に対応して、前方の屈曲部から後方の屈曲部に亘って縦幅Lが順次幅広となるように成形されている。
そして、図11の如くルアー本体23の後部27側から取付孔29内に止着部材129を前方の屈曲部から圧入させると、図9及び図10に示すようにルアー本体23の前部25と後部27側に、夫々、止着部材129のU字状の屈曲部が外方に突出するように構成されており、斯様に前部25側に突出する屈曲部がラインを止着する止着部131として機能し、後部27側に突出する屈曲部が、フック31を止着する止着部133として機能するようになっている。
【0047】
また、図10に示すように取付孔29内に位置する止着部材129の軸部135,137は、取付孔29内に充填,固化された接着剤139を介してルアー本体23に接着されている。
そして、既述した実施形態と同様、ルアー本体23の外表面に目57や鱗模様,色彩等を描き、図10に示すように全体を合成樹脂等の被覆層59でコーティングして本実施形態に係るルアー141が仕上げられている。
【0048】
本実施形態はこのように構成されているから、止着部131にラインを接続し、止着部133にスプリットリング45を介してフック31を止着すればよく、ルアー本体23は鉛よりも比重の大きいタングステン合金で成形されているため、鉛のみで成形された従来のルアーに比し形状の小型化が図れ、且つ重量増が図れることとなる。
【0049】
このため、キャスティングされたルアー141は、従来のルアーに比し体積の小型化に伴い空気抵抗が減って飛距離が伸び、水中に投下された時は、同じ重さであれば体積の小型化に伴い流され難く水の抵抗も減ることも相俟って沈下速度が早まり、深場で小型の餌を好む魚に対し釣果が向上する。
そして、ルアー本体23は表面に傷が付き難い硬度で成形されているため、根掛り等をしても表面に傷が付き難く、大きな魚がかかって変形することもない。
【0050】
また、魚がルアー141をくわえると、その引きでルアー本体23に図13の矢印方向(ルアー141後方)に力が掛かるが、図10に示すように止着部材129の軸部135,137と取付孔29の上,下部内壁53,55とが互いに係合,圧着し、而も、接着剤139の接着力も相俟って、止着部材129に対するルアー本体23の同方向へのズレを規制し、ルアー本体23と止着部材129の分離を防止する。
【0051】
更にまた、本実施形態に於ても、取付孔29内で止着部材129がルアー本体23に圧着されているため、止着部材129に対するルアー前方へのルアー本体23のズレも規制されることとなる。
そして、接着剤139が取付孔29内への水の浸入を防止する。
従って、本実施形態に係るルアー141によっても、既述した各実施形態と同様、所期の目的を達成することが可能で、ルアー141全体の小型化を図りつつ所要の重量を確保し、併せて止着部材129のズレや脱落がなく、長期に亘ってルアー本来の機能を維持することが可能である。
【0052】
尚、図1の実施形態に代え、止着部材を前部側に順次幅広となるテーパ状に成形すると共に、ルアー本体の取付孔を当該止着部材の外形形状に沿って設けて、当該止着部材を接着剤を介して取付孔内に接着させてもよく、斯かる請求項1乃至請求項3の第二実施形態によっても、所期の目的を達成することが可能である。
【0053】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように、請求項1乃至請求項3に係る発明によれば、ルアー本体に対し止着部材が確実に取り付いて、止着部材がルアー本体から抜け落ちたりガタ付いたりすることがなく、長期に亘ってルアー本来の機能を維持することが可能である。
【0054】
更にこれらの発明によれば、鉛のみで成形された従来のルアーに比し、キャスティング時の飛距離が伸びると共に沈下速度が早まる等の優れた利点を有する。そして、請求項3に係る発明によれば、止着部材をより確実にルアー本体に取り付けることができる利点を有する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tungsten or tungsten alloy luer used for lure fishing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a lure used for lure fishing is composed of a luer body and a tacking fastening portion attached to the lure body, and a tacking device such as a line or a hook is fastened to the tacking fastening portion.
This type of lure needs to sink quickly into the water, and the entire lure needs to be heavy so that a long flight distance can be secured during casting. For this reason, a metal jig called a metal jig is required. Most of the lures are made of lead, which is easily processed.
[0003]
Thus, the manufacture of such a lure is achieved by placing a metal core material (fastening member) such as stainless steel with a fastening part formed at both ends in the mold, and then a molten metal such as lead in the mold. A method of filling and solidifying the lure has been widely used, thereby producing a lure in which the metal core material penetrates in the longitudinal direction of the luer body and the tacking portion protrudes outside the luer body.
However, the luer manufactured in this way is only a solid molten metal of lead attached to the metal core material, so the metal core material is loose against the lure body after long-term use. There was a fear that it would end up.
[0004]
In addition, as described above, the entire lure needs to be heavier in order to sink quickly in water and extend the distance of casting, but lead lures are large in order to increase the weight. As a result, as a result, the volume is increased and it is easy to flow, the resistance of water is increased, and the required settlement speed cannot be obtained.
[0005]
Furthermore, when casting a lure, it has been pointed out that if the entire lure is increased in weight in order to increase the inertial force, air resistance is received as the volume increases.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12 , the lure body 1 is formed of a tungsten alloy having a specific gravity higher than that of lead, and lines and hooks are connected to the front and rear sides of the lure body 1 via retaining rings (device fastening portions) 3 and 5. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-309150 discloses a lure 9 that can attach 7.
[0006]
In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a synthetic resin coating layer coated on the surface of the lure body 1.
Thus, according to such a lure 9, it is possible to increase the weight of the entire lure 9 while reducing the size as compared with the conventional example in which the entire lure is formed of lead.
[0007]
Further, Japanese Unexamined 11-56169 discloses a similar purpose, as well as buried pipe-like core member 13 molded in high density metal such as tungsten lure body 11 made of lead as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 A luer 21 is disclosed in which a wire 19 having eye ends 15 and 17 connected to both ends is inserted through the core member 13 so that the eyes 15 and 17 protrude from the front and rear portions of the lure body 11. Therefore, according to the lure 21, the lure body can be increased in weight with the same size as compared with the case where the lure body is formed only of lead.
