  By the way, it is not uncommon for fishing grounds to suddenly rain, or winds to rise and waves to rise. For this reason, seawater or the like may enter the fishing bucket during actual fishing, and the fishing bait may be submerged. In such a case, the angler must drain the fishing bucket by tilting, but there is a problem that the fishing bait is also discharged together with the seawater.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing bucket that can be drained while preventing the fishing bait from being discharged even when seawater or the like enters while the fishing bait is accommodated. .

  The fishing bucket according to the present invention includes a bucket body formed in a container shape having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member provided on the bucket body for opening and closing the opening. Furthermore, a window portion that communicates the inside and outside of the bucket body with the lid member closed with the opening is provided at a corner portion of the lid member or a side wall of the bucket body, and the window portion is communicated. It has a water-based mesh structure or slit structure.

  The window portion is preferably provided with a plurality of slits made of small holes or slits that prevent passage of particles having a diameter exceeding 1.0 mm.

  When the window portion is provided on the lid member, the window portion is formed on the base portion raised from the lid member, and between the covering posture covering the base portion on the lid member and the opening posture opening. More preferably, a cover that changes its posture is provided.

  More preferably, the cover is formed in a shape that is held in the covering posture by being fitted to the base portion.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the attitude | position holding member which hold | maintains the said cover in the said open attitude | position is provided.

  When the said window part is provided in the side wall of the bucket main body, it is preferable that this window part is arrange | positioned at the side wall upper part of a bucket main body, and the cover for opening and closing this window part is provided.

  According to this fishing bucket, even if the fishing bait of the contained item is submerged in seawater or the like, the angler can drain the fishing bait while preventing the fishing bait from flowing out. The window portion of the fishing bucket can be easily opened and closed by a cover of the window portion as necessary. When the cover is closed, intrusion of seawater and rain is prevented, and the contents are not flooded. Further, if the cover is closed, it is possible to prevent odors such as fishing bait from coming out of the bucket. For this reason, it is safe to carry fishing buckets by car or train.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a fishing bucket 1 of the present invention. The fishing bucket 1 includes a bucket body 3 formed in a container shape having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member 5 provided on the bucket body 3 for opening and closing the opening. A window portion 9 is provided at the corner portion 7 of the lid member 5. The window portion 9 has a mesh structure having water permeability. For this reason, even if the cover member 5 is in a state where the opening is closed, the inside and the outside of the bucket body 3 are communicated with each other through a mesh structure. The corner 7 includes a band-like region that includes the corner and continues to the intermediate portion.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a handle 13 is provided on the surface of a pair of opposing side walls 11 of the bucket body 3. This handle 13 includes a stay 15 for attachment and a grip portion 17 joined thereto. Both handles 13 can be combined into one and can be a fixed hanger that is easy to hold. These can be formed of flexible EVA or the like, and are provided with strength and durability. This handle 13 facilitates carrying even when the weight of the fishing bucket 1 increases.

  The fishing bucket 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. Many fishing buckets 1 have a major axis of about 30 cm to 50 cm. The bucket body 3 is made of a water-impermeable material in order to prevent intrusion of seawater or the like. It is desirable that the fishing bucket 1 be conveniently loaded and unloaded because the bait is stored and carried in the bucket 1 for fishing. From these aspects, the bucket body 3 is preferably made of a relatively lightweight synthetic resin. A synthetic resin that has high rigidity and does not distort even when a high load is applied is often heavy and bulky. However, if it is easily deformed too much, it may be difficult to take out or put in the contents by opening and closing the lid member 5, or it may be unstable to put on the fishing side.

  The bucket body 3 preferably has flexibility as well as shape retention, is lightweight, and is durable. As a material constituting the bucket body 3, for example, a material in which a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene, or a rubber is combined with a fiber such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene can be used. However, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is preferably used mainly from the viewpoint of easily balancing the above shape retention, flexibility and durability.

  The bait in the bucket body 3 is pressed against the inside of the side wall 11 and hardened when it is scooped up with a handle. The side wall 11 is required to have rigidity capable of withstanding deformation due to this operation. That is, it is preferable that the inner wall surface of the bucket body 3 is provided with a rigidity that does not cause the hip to bend even when the bait is pressed. Further, when flexibility is provided, an extra space of the bucket body 3 is folded when there is no stored item. Folding often saves a lot of space for carrying.

  It is more preferable that the inner wall surface of the bucket body 3 is made of a material that can easily remove dirt from the bait of the stored items. Therefore, a material with relatively high hardness, such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, may be used for the inner wall surface of the bucket body 3. Thereby, there is also an advantage that the inner wall surface of the bucket body 3 is not easily damaged even if it is washed with a scrubber or the like. Further, the inner wall surface can be made to have a surface that is easily cleaned by fine embossing or embossing. Moreover, it is preferable that the said inner wall surface is a material which does not soften too much even if hot water is put.

  The bucket body 3 may be formed of an inner layer and an outer layer using a plate material. A heat insulating material such as foamed resin can be disposed on the bottom 21 and the side wall 11. The plate material forming the bucket body 3 can be made self-supporting by thickening the entire surface. However, from the viewpoint of weight reduction, it is disadvantageous from the viewpoints of the weight and flexibility described above. The side wall 11 is desired to be flexible and to have the shape retention of the opening. For this reason, although not shown in the periphery 23 of the opening, a frame may be provided. The frame is formed along the shape of the peripheral edge 23 of the bucket body 3 and gives the bucket body 3 a predetermined rigidity. In the present embodiment, the peripheral edge portion 23 contains a pipe-like rigidity holding material. In other words, the peripheral edge portion 23 includes a frame.

  The bucket body 3 can be formed by integral molding. However, in order to adapt the fishing bucket 1 to being placed on a rock or a jetty stone, the bottom portion 21 may be separately formed by joining plate materials having different thicknesses and materials. The bottom portion 21 is provided with a certain degree of rigidity for supporting the weight of the contents and durability so that it cannot be easily broken by an external obstacle such as a stone. The bucket body 3 is formed, for example, by welding the peripheral end of the bottom 21 and the side wall 11. That is, the peripheral edge portion of the bottom portion 21 is provided with a rising portion along the cylindrical side wall 11, and this rising portion is welded and joined to the inside of the side wall 11.

  As described above, the side wall 11 is folded by being folded from the intermediate portion in the height direction of the side wall 11 while being flexible, and the bottom portion 21 ensures a predetermined shape of the bucket body 3. Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom part 21 is made of a material and a shape that can be stably placed even in a place over a slight inclination or depression. For this reason, the groove may be provided at the bottom so as to be easily along the ground. Further, a rubber sheet with a non-slip pattern may be attached to the bottom portion 21.

  The lid member 5 is formed in a shape corresponding to the opening so as to cover and close the upper surface of the bucket body 3. The lid member 5 is preferably made of a material having waterproofness and flexibility. The lid member 5 can also be made of EVA or other plate material similar to the bucket body 3. However, the lid member 5 does not have to be made of the same material as that of the bucket body 3, and for example, a rubber material can be used.

  Although not shown, the lid member 5 is sewn or welded to an outer wall surface in the vicinity of the upper edge of the long side or the short side of the bucket body 3. In this way, the one part is joined to the bucket body 3 in a hinge shape, whereby the lid member 5 that can be opened and closed is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, a slide fastener 25 is attached, and the opening can be opened and closed by the lid member 5. The fastener 25 ensures windproofing and waterproofing, and prevents the stored items from escaping.

  The lid member 5 is provided with a window portion 9. FIG. 2 is a partial plan view of the fishing bucket 1 in which the window 9 covered with the cover 27 is attached to the lid member 5. FIG. 3 is a partial plan view of the fishing bucket 1 showing a state in which the cover 27 of the window portion 9 is maintained in the open posture. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line V-V in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the fishing bucket 1 is provided with a window portion 9 that communicates the inside and the outside of the bucket body 3. The window 9 is provided with a mesh structure having water permeability. With this mesh structure, it is preferable that a large number of small holes 29 for preventing the passage of particles having a diameter exceeding 1.0 mm are provided. This window portion 9 can be drained without passing a bait or the like, which is a container for a fishing bucket. The mesh structure of the window portion 9 can be formed by welding, bonding, or sewing a fiber mesh such as nylon, polyester, or vinyl chloride. Further, a molded product made of a hard resin and having a large number of small holes 29 may be used. This window portion 9 has an advantage that it is difficult to be broken by a sharp obstacle.

  The position where the window portion 9 is provided is usually the corner portion 7 near the edge portion 31 of the lid member 5 (see FIG. 2). When the side end 33 of the edge 31 of the window 9 is far from the edge 31, even if the fishing bucket 1 is tilted, the water inside is not discharged and the amount of remaining water increases. However, when the side end 33 is too close to the edge portion 31, the durability of the window portion 9 and the difficulty of holding the cover 27 are often not preferable. It is preferable that the distance L between the edge 33 on the edge side of the window portion 9 and the edge portion 31 of the lid member 5 is 3 mm or more and 4 cm or less so that the window portion 9 that is easy to drain is provided. In addition, said "corner part" includes the strip | belt-shaped area | region which extends along the edge part 31 of the cover member 5 or toward the center part including the one or two corner parts 7. FIG.

  The size of the window portion 9 is preferably such that the area occupation ratio of the window portion 9 occupying the area of the lid member 5 is about 0.5% to 10%. If this ratio is too small, it takes time to drain and it is difficult to drain. On the other hand, if this ratio is too large, there may be a problem in sealing performance for preventing intrusion of water from the outside, structural strength, and the like. The shape of the window portion 9 is not particularly limited, but a complicated shape is not preferable in terms of manufacturing a fishing bucket. In general, a triangular shape similar to the shape of the corner is preferable from the viewpoint that there is no waste in the mounting structure and that drainage is easy.

  The lid member 5 includes a lid member main body 35 and a base portion 37. The base portion 37 is provided on the lid member main body 35 and is attached so as to be raised from the lid member 35. The window portion 9 is provided on the base portion 37. The base portion 37 may be configured by the lid member main body 35 being raised. The base portion 37 is preferably molded in pairs with the cover 27 so as to be suitable for fitting with the cover 27 described later. The base portion 37 may be made of a material different from that of the lid member main body 35. In that case, the base portion 37 may be attached to the lid member main body 35.

  The cover 27 covers the window portion 9. For this reason, the window part 9 is waterproofed. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cover 27 changes its posture between a covering posture that covers the base portion 37 and an open posture that opens. In FIG. 4, the cover 27 is fitted to the base portion 37, and the window portion 9 is closed. The cover 27 has flexibility and a certain degree of rigidity. As a result, when the cover 27 is fitted to the base portion 37, the cover 27 is held in the covering posture. The base portion 37 has a certain rigidity and has shape retention. Moreover, it is preferable that the base part 37 is provided with a certain amount of elasticity or flexibility.

  The base portion 37 includes an inclined side wall 39. The inclined side wall 39 is inclined obliquely upward as shown in FIG. 4, and the inclination angle is often set small when the height of the inclined side wall 39 is high and large when the height is low. Therefore, the cover 27 is easily fitted to the base portion 37 and cannot be easily removed by a small shock or the like. Further, the cover 27 is detached from the base portion 37 in one operation when the window portion 9 is opened. Note that both the cover 27 and the base portion 37 may not have flexibility. For example, even if the base portion 37 is made of a hard resin and has high rigidity, the cover 27 may be made of rubber or the like that is highly flexible. In this case, the cover 27 is fitted into the base portion 37 by being elastically deformed, and the covering posture is maintained by the tight force of the cover 27 or the like.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the cover 27 is turned and the window portion 9 is opened. Since the cover 27 has flexibility and elasticity, a stress is generated to return to the original closed position due to distortion generated when the cover 27 is opened. As a posture holding member for maintaining this open posture, the cover 27 is provided with a snap 41. In the state where the cover 27 is opened, the stud 43 is fitted and held in the socket 45.

  FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the fishing bucket 1 when two pairs of snaps are provided. In this figure, a snap 47 is attached in addition to the snap 41. When the window portion 9 is closed, the stud 27 attached to the cover 27 is fitted into the socket 51 attached to the base portion 37, thereby holding the cover 27. In the case of this example, the fitting state between the cover 27 and the base portion 37 can be made more reliable. Accordingly, the allowable range of the material and the shape for maintaining a good fitting state between the cover 27 and the base portion 37 can be widened.

  FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating a fishing bucket 55 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Although not shown, the fishing bucket 55 also includes a bucket body formed in a container shape having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member 57 provided on the bucket body for opening and closing the opening. In the corner portion of the lid member 57, a window portion 59 is provided that communicates the inside and the outside of the bucket body with the lid member 57 closing the opening. The window part 59 is provided with the mesh structure which has water permeability.

  The window portion 59 includes a large number of small holes 61. The small hole 61 has the same shape as the small hole 29 provided in the fishing bucket 1 according to the above embodiment. The cover 65 is provided so as to cover the base portion 63 and to close the window portion 59. The cover 65 is flexible so that the window 59 can be freely opened and closed. The cover 65 includes a waterproof material 67. When the cover 65 is closed, the waterproof material 67 comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the window portion 59 and waterproofs the window portion 59.

  As the waterproof material 67, a foam molded product such as EVA having a high expansion ratio is preferably used. The cover 65 is kept closed by the snap 69. At the same time, the waterproof material 67 is compressed by the cover 65 and elastically deformed. Due to this elastic deformation, the periphery of the window portion 59 is closed by the cover 65. When the cover 65 is opened, the open posture is held by the snap 71. This fishing bucket 55 can also be drained leaving a stored item when water accumulates inside.

  The waterproof material 67 may be attached to the entire back surface of the cover 65. In this case, the opening and closing of the window 59 by the cover 65 can be more easily and reliably performed. Further, for example, a slide fastener may be employed instead of the snaps 69 and 71 in order to ensure the closing and opening of the window portion 59. In this case, if the cover 65 is joined to the lid member 57, the window portion 59 can be opened and closed regardless of the material of the base portion 63.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a fishing bucket 75 according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
The fishing bucket 75 also includes a bucket main body 77 formed in a container shape having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member 79 provided on the bucket main body 77 for opening and closing the opening. Similar to the fishing bucket 1, the bucket body 77 includes a side wall 81 and a bottom 83, and a handle 85 is provided on the surface of the side wall 81. As shown in this figure, a window portion 87 that communicates the inside and the outside of the bucket body 77 with the lid member 79 closed with the opening is formed along the edge of the short side of the lid member 79. It is provided in the shape of a band including two corners.

  The window 87 is provided with a mesh structure having water permeability. The window part 87 is provided with many small holes 89 similar to the small holes 29 (see FIG. 3) provided in the fishing bucket 1 according to the above embodiment. A cover 91 is provided on the base portion to which the window portion 87 is attached. The cover 91 is provided so as to cover the base portion and to close the window portion 87. The cover 91 is flexible so that the window 87 can be freely opened and closed. The cover 91 is opened and closed by a slide fastener 93 attached to the cover 91. FIG. 8 shows a state where the cover 91 is opened and the open posture is held by the snap 95 which is an open posture holding member. The fishing bucket 75 can also be drained with water remaining when water accumulates inside, and can prevent waterproofing from the outside of the bucket 75 and diffusion of odors inside.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a fishing bucket 97 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The fishing bucket 97 also includes a bucket body 99 formed in a container shape having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid member 101 that is provided in the bucket body 99 and opens and closes the opening. The bucket body 97 includes a side wall 103 and a bottom portion 105, and a handle 107 is provided on the surface of the side wall 103. As shown in this figure, a window portion 109 that connects the inside and the outside of the bucket body 97 with the lid member 101 closing the opening is provided on the upper portion of the side wall 103. The upper portion of the side wall 103 refers to a region higher than the height of the bucket body 97 in the height direction center of the side wall 103.

  The side wall 103 is provided with a hole that penetrates the inside and outside of the bucket body 97. The window 109 is attached to a window attaching base provided around the hole. The base portion may be depressed from the surface of the side wall 103 or may be raised. The base portion may be formed integrally with the side wall 103. Further, the base portion may be formed by being separately molded and joined to the side wall 103. The window 109 is provided with a slit structure having water permeability. The window 109 has a slit formed by a plurality of slits 111. This slit prevents the passage of particles with a diameter greater than 1.0 mm. The window 109 is preferably provided with a waterproof cover 113 that covers the window 109 and can close communication between the inside and the outside of the bucket body 97. This cover 113 is removed when the fishing bucket 97 is drained.

  The cover 113 is held by a cover holding portion provided in the base portion for fitting and holding the cover 113. For this cover holding portion, for example, various known protrusions or groove-like fitting structures applied to the lid member can be used. In the example of this figure, the cover 113 includes a side portion 115 that rises from the side wall 103 in a fitted state. The side portion 115 is provided with a protrusion 117 for preventing the cover 113 from slipping when the cover 113 is opened and closed. The aforementioned waterproof material 67 (see FIG. 7) may be applied to the back surface of the cover 113 as well. The fishing bucket 97 can also be drained with water remaining when water accumulates in the interior, and can prevent waterproofing from the outside of the bucket 97 and the emission of internal odors.
