Description

The present invention relates to a pliers structure for efficiently removing a fishhook stuck in the mouth of a fish that has been caught.

  In recreational fishing (fishing that is not a business), the fish hooks of fish that have been caught often do not hang well around the mouth and pierce deep within the mouth. This is the so-called “swallowed needle” situation. At this time most fish have their mouths tightly closed, so if you encounter this situation, you will not only take time to remove the fishhook, but will eventually hurt the fishhook and Harris and even have to be replaced. Many anglers have missed.

  Various instruments for dealing with this are commercially available. A typical tool is a tool with a notch at the tip of a single metal wire. After passing Harris through this notch, slide over the Harris to move the tool tip to the position of the fishhook and use it as a fishhook. Hook, remove the fishhook while pushing or twisting the tip. It is actively purchased because it is lightweight, not bulky, and inexpensive.

Alternatively, a fishing pliers used to make a fishing device for attaching a fishhook or attaching a weight to Harris may be used. In the case of the pliers, since it is used for purposes other than removing the fishhook, it is not an obstacle to carry. The pliers are almost used when the above-mentioned dedicated items are not provided.

However, in the case of a dedicated product made of a metal wire, Harris and the device protrude from the mouth of the fish that has been tightly closed. In this state, the instrument is driven, and Harris is apt to be damaged, often resulting in an unreusable state. Also, the fishhook is often deformed or damaged. Moreover, the work of moving the wire requires a knack and many failures.
Also, in the case of pliers, Harris attached to the fishhook will get in the way, and unlike the above-mentioned special items, the tip of the pliers will be put in the mouth while checking the position of the fishhook with your eyes, so much Unless the fish has a large mouth, the pliers must be taken in and out many times to confirm the hook position.

  In other words, a fishing hook remover that is easy to handle without hurting Harris, and can ensure sufficient visibility for removing the fishing hook even if it is a small mouthed fish or it is tightly closed. The appearance of was awaited.

  In view of the current situation as described above, the inventor finally made the present invention as a result of earnest research, and the feature thereof is a western-style pliers that crosses two members at the shaft portion. The fishhook gripping part, which is an action point located on the opposite side of the gripping part that is the power point across the shaft that is the fulcrum, is for taking out the fishhook that is hung in the mouth of the fish, and is an arm that is continuous with the shaft part Is formed when the two members are closed and opened at the opposite portions in the vicinity of the pair of fishhook gripping portions, which are located at the tips of the parts and come into contact when the two members are closed. A Harris insertion hole is provided so as to be divided, and each of the arm portions protrudes outward to form an enlarged portion.

  That is, it can be said that the present invention is a fishing hook removing pliers that can maintain visibility by arm portions shaped like both arms with elbows, and can easily use Harris as a guide rail. The pliers according to the present invention are extremely suitable for use as a fishing hook remover. However, the pliers according to the present invention need not be a dedicated product and may of course have a function equivalent to that of a conventional pliers.

  The structure of the pliers according to the present invention is categorized as a Western basket type. In other words, in light of the structure that a typical western saddle has a structure in which two members composed of a blade part (action point), a shaft hole (fulcrum), and a handle part (force point) are opened and closed freely, In the invention pliers, the combination of the “arm part” and the “fishhook gripping part” at the tip thereof corresponds to the “blade part”, and the “grip part” corresponds to the “handle part”.

  The structure of the “grip” is the same as that of a normal pliers and is not limited at all. Accordingly, it is possible to freely adopt a structure such as providing a slip stopper, providing a spring, and keeping it open.

  The “arm part” connects the fulcrum and the action point. In the present invention, the arm portion protrudes outward to form an enlarged portion. Here, “outer side” means a direction in which the pliers are opened, and the arm portion is configured to open and close both arms with the elbows stretched by protruding outward. This widening part is for expanding the mouth when the pliers according to the present invention are inserted into the mouth of the fish. The presence of the widened part ensures sufficient visibility in the mouth of the fish after inserting the pliers, but if the arm part is bent in the middle and the tip side is inclined, the workability is improved and the field of view is further improved. Is preferable.

The “fishhook gripping portion” is a portion that actually grips the fishhook, and is located at the tip of the arm portion. Although it is desirable that the structure is suitable for grasping the fishhook, if it is used for other purposes, it may be similar to the structure of the tip of the conventional pliers (referred to as a holding portion) instead of a special structure. In addition, when removing the fishhook from the fish mouth using a conventional pliers, Harris connected to the fishhook often interfered with the work, but in the present invention, Harris is used as a guide rail. So it won't get in the way. That is, a Harris insertion hole is provided in the vicinity of the opposing part (the part that comes into contact when closed) of the fishhook gripping part (there is a pair) in such a manner that it is formed when closed and divided when opened. Therefore, when the arm portion is closed and Harris is inserted between the holes, and the tip of the arm portion is slid into the fish mouth while using Harris as a guide rail, the fishhook position is reached.

The pliers according to the present invention have the following effects.
(1) Since the tip of the pliers is slid to the fishhook position by being sandwiched in the Harris insertion hole, Harris does not get in the way.
(2) Since the Harris insertion hole is divided when the pliers are opened, it is possible to release the grip of Harris at any time, so that the efficiency is higher than when Harris is passed through the hole that cannot be divided.
(3) Since the arm portion has a mouth-opening structure, when the tip of the pliers is inserted into the mouth of the fish and pushed in, the mouth of the fish is automatically opened and the position of the fishhook inside becomes easy to visually recognize.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

  1 (a), (b) and (c) show an example of a plier 1 according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the present invention plier 1). Is a "Western-style" type structure in which two cross-shaped members are crossed and the crossing points are pivotally connected. Each rod-like member is composed of a grip portion 2, a shaft hole (numbering omitted), an arm portion 3, and a fishhook gripping portion 4, which are integrally formed in this example. A shaft member 9 is inserted and fixed in both shaft holes, and both members are rotatably connected. The length is about 9 cm from the end of the grip portion 2 to the center of the shaft hole, and about 6 cm from the center of the shaft hole to the fishhook gripping portion 4.

  The arm portion 3 has a shape in which the arm portion 3 protrudes from the shaft hole position to the outside and then gradually narrows to reach the tip. The arm portion 3 is bent at a position of about 3 cm from the tip, and the tip is inclined by about 50 °. Yes. The tip portion of the arm portion 3 is a fishhook gripping portion 4, and when the pliers 1 of the present invention are closed, the two fishhook gripping portions 4 are in contact, but the arm portion 3 close thereto is also in contact. And the semi-cylindrical groove | channel 5 is each engraved in the opposing surface of this arm part 3 to contact, and if it contacts, a cylindrical Harris insertion hole (not numbered) will be formed. When the pliers 1 of the present invention are used, Harris is inserted into the formed Harris insertion hole and slides. Therefore, the edge of the opening end is rounded so as not to damage Harris. .

  FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) schematically show an example of how to use the pliers 1 of the present invention over time, and first hold the Harris L from the fish F caught with one hand. The pliers 1 are sandwiched between the grooves 5 in the arm portion 3 (FIG. 1A). In this state, Harris L is fitted into the Harris insertion hole. Even if the violence of the fish is terrible, the movement of Harris L near the supporting one hand is small, so the work of pinching is easy.

Next, the pliers 1 of the present invention are slid along Harris L, and the tip is put into the mouth of the fish F. The tip portion of the pliers 1 of the present invention that enters the mouth eventually reaches a position where it cannot slide, but in most cases, this is the fishhook H position.
At this time, since the arm portion 3 of the pliers 1 of the present invention has a widened structure, the fish mouth is thereby opened. Therefore, it is possible to proceed while visually checking whether the fishhook gripping portion 4 is actually at the position of the fishhook H, at what angle the fishhook H should be gripped, and the like. FIG. 2B shows the confirmation state.

  Further, the pliers 1 of the present embodiment are provided with a blade portion 6 for cutting a wire material such as Harris or a thread, a concave hole 7 for caulking lead weight, etc. on an arm portion 3 near the shaft hole. It can be used for purposes other than removing the hook. As described above, when removing the fishhook from the fish mouth using the pliers 1 of the present invention, Harris L, which was initially fitted in the groove 5, moves the tip of the arm 3 to grasp the fishhook H. If you open, you are expected to leave here. Then, Harris L that has come out of the groove 5 is thrown out into the space surrounded by both arm portions 3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a guard portion 8 is provided at a position ahead of the recessed hole 7, and Harris or the like cannot enter the recessed hole 7 position or the blade portion 6 unless the arm portion 3 is opened to some extent. In this case, the risk that Harris L will accidentally enter and damage this part is reduced. Of course, in this case, when using the blade portion 6 and the recessed hole 7, it is necessary to first open the arm portion 3 widely.

As for the size (width) of the widened portion of the arm portion 3, in the example shown so far, the width when the pliers are closed is about 4 cm at the maximum, and is mainly intended for small and medium fish. However, there are various sizes depending on the type of fish. In addition, as for the shape, if the wide zone at the mouth opening becomes longer, the mouth opening state can be maintained even if the fishhook gripper 4 moves back and forth in the fish mouth, but it is used for fish with a small mouth. There is a drawback that it can not be done. Therefore, it can be said that a structure in which the maximum width is set on the shaft hole side, the width gradually decreases gradually from there, and abruptly approaching and contacting near the tip is preferable.

(A) thru | or (c) show an example of the pliers based on this invention, the figure (a) is a top view, the figure (b) is a front view, and the figure (c) is a perspective view near the front-end | tip. It is. (A) and (b) show an example of how to use the pliers according to the present invention over time and schematically, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a schematic perspective view. is there. It is a partial schematic perspective view which shows the other example of the pliers concerning this invention.
