Description

The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool used to connect a main line of a fishing line and a leader.
In particular, the present invention relates to a connection assisting tool (knot tool) capable of making a pack rat knot (PR knot) and an FG knot safely and easily.

  As the fishing line (main line) wound on the reel, a thin line is used because it is possible to carry out long throwing and is less affected by water resistance and wind. A thick fishing line (leader) is connected to the tip of the main line to prevent the leader at the tip from rubbing against rocks, seaweed or fish teeth.

As the main line, it is desirable to be light, supple, thin, and to have a tensile strength, so in recent years, the proportion of polyethylene lines (PE lines) having a tensile strength more than three times that of conventional nylon lines is increasing. However, the PE line has the following disadvantages.
(1) The surface is slippery and slippery.
(2) Since the thread is too thin, it is easy to cut the hand if it is pulled with bare hands when connecting.
(3) When the yarn is bent, the strength is lowered and is easily cut off.

As a leader, it is usual to use a fluorocarbon line excellent in wear resistance or a nylon line that is flexible and stretched, but there are the following problems.
(1) In order to cope with the tensile strength to the PE line, a line having a diameter of about 3 to 4 times that of the PE line is often used as a leader. Thus, when the diameters of the two are extremely different, the conventional connection method such as a general train knot is not suitable.
(2) When connecting the leader and the PE line, there is less surface friction between the lines due to the slipperiness of the surface of the PE line. ) Is easy to lose.

For this reason, it is necessary to connect the wires by a special method that does not cause thread dropout. Then, PR knot (refer nonpatent literature 1), FG knot (refer nonpatent literature 2), SF knot, mid knot etc. were proposed as such a special connection method (line system).
Among these line systems, the connection strength of PR knots is the strongest. Further, FG knots are widely known to lovers of lure fishing as a connection method that has high connection strength and a small knot at the time of connection and is excellent for casting.

However, PR knots are knots that cannot be connected without using tools. Also, to connect FG knots without using tools, skill is required in the work to make full use of both hands. Especially, the method of knitting by wrapping the PE line around two fingers of the dominant hand is The strength was not constant and could lead to thread dropout, which was often difficult and incomplete for beginners.
Also, when tightening, it is necessary to tighten the braided portion with a strong force, and with bare hands there is a risk of injury to fingers and hands, so gloves, protectors, and tools for tightening are required.

  Thus, knot tools for assisting such knitting have been proposed, and there are some commonly known tools.

For example, as a connection aid for PR knots (PR knot tool), the tip end side of the main line to be wound around the leader is wound around the bobbin portion in advance through the nozzle portion, and the wiring work is performed after adjusting the tension applied to the main line. There is something that is configured to start. (See Patent Document 1)
There is also a configuration in which the leader is rotated using the power of the battery and the motor, and the main line is wound around the rotated leader. (See Non-Patent Document 3)

  As a connection aid for FG knots (FG knot tool), the main line is stretched by using the two arm tips that extend from the knot tool body up and down, the manual work of winding the main line around the leader. In addition to locking to hold the tension state, the center of the knot tool body is provided with a leader locking part that detachably locks the leader, and the leader is stretched between the two arms while being detached from the leader locking part. There is one that is configured to be knitted to the main line. (See Patent Documents 2 and 3)

  Thus, although PR knot tools and FG knot tools corresponding to each knot are generally widely distributed, knot tools corresponding to both PR knots and FG knots have not been realized. Has never been proposed.

  Recently, there are several leader spools that use small spools for portability due to the fact that fishing styles with wading and fishing grounds called Langan are moving one after another and fishing styles have become common. Now available on the market. (See Non-Patent Document 4 and Non-Patent Document 5)

However, there is no unified standard for the size and shape of the leader spool, and each manufacturer is offering products with slightly different sizes and shapes.
In response to this movement, most of the knot tools that have been proposed so far are all carried individually, and products that are made on the assumption that they are carried with a reader that connects with the knot tool. Not present at the moment, it was inconvenient because it was necessary to carry each separately.

  As a proposal for such a problem, the realization method is the only one proposed in claim 4 of Patent Document 3 so that it can be used as a leader spool holder while being a knot tool.

These conventional knot tools also have the following problems.
(1) With the conventional PR knot tool, it is necessary to adjust the tension according to the thickness of the line before the connection work. If a thin line is used, the tension is weakened. If a thick line is used, the tension is set strongly. However, when using an extremely thick line, it is necessary to carefully adjust the tension in advance by increasing the tension and adding a weight. Incorrect tension adjustment may result in an incomplete line system, which may result in insufficient strength.
(2) With a general knot tool, when the tension is increased, the main line is fed out from the nozzle portion so that the brake is applied. Therefore, the knot root itself is difficult to rotate. Usually, in such a case, the weight of the knot tool itself is increased by adding a weight to the knot tool.
(3) As a result, there are many cases in which the tension is adjusted to be higher than necessary, and the leader is strongly twisted at the connection stage, resulting in a crease in the leader, resulting in a loss of line system strength. There is also.
(4) Recently, fishing is carried out while carrying a smartphone or other device while checking the location information and tide table. In the case of a knot tool using a magnet, the built-in gyro sensor and electronic compass have a considerable impact. Because of the relationship they give, care must be taken when carrying them at the same time. Also, when fishing on sandy ground such as surf, if you do not take care not to drop the knot tool, the intended performance may not be obtained due to the adhesion of dust such as iron sand.
(5) Knot tools that use batteries and motors can also be damaged due to sand bites or water shorts, so care must be taken when carrying them to fishing grounds.
(6) Depending on the target fish, the line system may be properly used for PR knots and FG knots, but there is no knot tool that can connect PR knots and FG knots with one knot tool. It can be purchased or divided into one of the line systems and only one knot tool can be used, leading to the result of narrowing the options for the angler.
(7) In order to spread as a holder of a leader spool while being a knot tool, it is necessary to expand the options of leader products to be used in correspondence with a wider range of spool sizes.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, save the tension adjustment work, minimize the twist of the leader, and do not break down even if it falls or falls on sand. It is an object of the present invention to provide a knot tool which can be used as a spool holder corresponding to a wide range of leader spool sizes.

  The basic structure of the fishing line knot tool of the present invention is an auxiliary tool used for wrapping or knitting a main line that is a relatively thin fishing line around the surface of a leader that is a relatively thick fishing line. The knot tool body is provided with a pair of upper and lower arms for extending the main line in the vertical direction, and each arm is composed of an inelastic rigid body or a rigid plate. Is provided with a winding stop for locking the main line, and a spring (a tension coil spring or a torsion coil in the direction in which the ends of both arms open in the support part of both upper and lower arms of the knot tool body. The knot tool body is provided with a winding stop for locking the leader. With this basic structure, a function as an FG knot tool is realized.

  According to claim 1 of the present invention, a nozzle portion is further provided at the tip portion of one of the upper and lower arms. The main line that passes through this nozzle part is locked to the winding part of the other arm tip not provided with the nozzle part, and the main force is applied to the leader using the spring force that applies force in the direction of opening the arm tip. It creates tension when winding the line. As a result, a function as a PR knot tool is realized.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a guide portion for folding or winding the main line is further provided on the distal end side of the pair of upper and lower arms.
The role of this guide part (tension guide) is when the centrifugal force generated when the main line is wound around the leader is greater than the force of the spring that applies the force in the direction to open the end of the arm. The tip of the arm moves in the direction of centrifugal force and closes the tip of the arm, and the tension at the tip of the nozzle part may come off. However, by winding the main line around the guide part (tension guide), the nozzle directly It is possible to prevent the centrifugal force from being applied to the arm side having the portion and maintain the line tension.
In addition, by folding back the guide part between the arms (folding guide) several times, the length of the main line to be wound around the leader can be given a margin, and a thicker leader with a longer winding length can be obtained. It also plays a role in making it possible to respond.
This makes it possible to improve the usability as a PR knot tool and widen the range of support for a thick leader.

According to claim 3 of the present invention, an arm having a winding part for locking a leader provided in the vicinity of the support part of both arms in the above-mentioned basic structure is provided in a movable state. It is said that.
The role of the movable arm (leader arm) makes it possible to adjust the distance between the upper and lower arm tip portions and the arm tip portion for locking the leader.
When it is arranged at a predetermined position, the distance between the lower arm tip position and the leader arm tip (the distance between the arms) is the shortest.
The distance between the arms can be maximized by bringing the leader arm closer to the middle point on the line connecting the tip positions of the upper and lower arms.
Using the difference in distance between the arms, it can be used as a spool holder for leader spools of different sizes.

According to claim 4 of the present invention, the function of claim 3 is added to the basic structure described above, and the functions of claims 1 and 2 are further added, whereby the function as an FG knot tool is achieved. It has a function as a spool holder while having a function as a PR knot tool that is easy to use and has a wide range of compatibility with thick leaders. Both FG knot and PR knot The knot tool corresponding to is realized.

The effect produced by claim 1 of the present invention is that it is possible to connect PR knots while being able to connect FG knots. There is no conventional knot tool capable of connecting both the FG knot and the PR knot, and the first knot tool enables the connection of the FG knot and the PR knot.
A general PR knot tool has a bobbin portion and uses a method in which a main line to be wound around a leader is wound around the bobbin portion in advance. And the men line wound around the leader is sent out through the nozzle part while applying tension from the bobbin part.
In the knot tool (present knot tool) of the present invention, the function corresponding to this bobbin portion is realized by the upper and lower arms. By sending out the main line wound around the leader, the distance between the tips of the upper and lower arms is narrowed, and the spring force repels the movement, creating tension, playing the role equivalent to the bobbin part.

As an effect produced by claim 2 of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the need for troublesome tension adjustment work performed in advance with a conventional PR knot tool. Furthermore, since the guide portion (tension guide) has an effect of relieving the centrifugal force applied to the arm having the nozzle portion, a member having a weak spring force can be used.
By making it possible to use a spring having a weak force, there is a further effect. This is an effect that the work of knitting the FG knot becomes easy. Specifically, if the spring is strong, if the hand slips while the leader is being knitted to the main line, the strong spring will unwind and return to the state before knitting. However, if the spring force is weak, the knitted portion does not return to the state before knitting even if the hand is released, and the rework does not waste time.
Although the concern arises that tightening of the FG knot may be insufficient if the spring force is weak, the knot tool of the present invention uses a rigid body (or rigid plate) for the arm. Tightening can be consciously adjusted by manually applying force to the side that opens the tip, and there is no need to worry about insufficient tightening.

As a mechanism for eliminating the tension adjustment work required for a general PR knot tool, the knot tool is structurally based on two arms. Specifically, the arm having the nozzle portion is restricted from moving in the centrifugal force direction by the tension guide, but the arm not having the tension guide is directly affected by the centrifugal force. When the main line is wrapped around the leader, the knot tool is rotated around the leader so that gymnastics athletes make large wheels in a horizontal bar competition, but the centrifugal force can be adjusted by adjusting this rotational speed. It is possible to adjust the strength of the. This centrifugal force acts as a force in the direction of expanding the distal end side of the arm, and as a result, assists the force of the spring to open the arm. This increases the tension of the main line that wraps around the leader.
The role of the tension guide at this time corresponds to the grip strength of the horizontal bar player, and serves to prevent the knot tool from moving away from the leader, which is the center of rotation, in the direction in which the centrifugal force is applied.
In this knot tool, the strength of the tension does not change in a static state, but the applied tension can be increased by increasing the rotational speed, and the applied tension can be decreased by decreasing the rotational speed. In other words, since an unprecedented method is adopted in which the addition of tension can be adjusted according to the speed of rotation when winding, no prior tension adjustment work is required.

In adjusting the speed of rotation when winding, if the leader is thin, the rotation of the rotating shaft will increase due to the weight of the knot tool, so it will be psychologically modest and suitable for thin leaders. The effect of adjusting to rotation appears. On the other hand, if the leader is thicker, the rotation axis is more stable than that of a thin leader. Therefore, the rotation is positively accelerated from a psychological sense of security, and the effect is that it is adjusted to an earlier rotation suitable for a thick leader. appear.
In addition, since the leader is held in both hands at the time of winding, the tension of the leader can be grasped while winding, so the tension is adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed while winding so that twisting is minimized It is also possible to advance winding with awareness of
The ability to adjust the tension strongly by speeding up the winding rotation is equivalent to the state in which the inertial force of the rotation is sufficiently strong when the tension is increased, and the brakes are applied to the main line delivery. This means that it becomes difficult to rotate the knot tool itself, and as a result, there are fewer situations where additional weights are required, and almost no prior adjustment work is required. .
Although it depends on individual preference, if you can't feel safe without applying a strong line tension, you can add a weight and adjust the rotation speed to support a stronger line tension.

Furthermore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, by providing the folding portion (folding guide), it becomes possible to lengthen the length of the main line wound around the leader more than the distance between the arm tips . An effect of widening the width corresponding to the thickness can be obtained. Since the connection strength tends to increase when the number of wraps around the leader is small, it becomes possible to deal with large target fish.

Moreover, in this knot tool, it is possible to reduce the twist of the leader after winding by using the arm. In a general PR knot tool, the main line that is wound is twisted in the form of pulling the leader at the stage where the main line is wound with tension, so when the winding is finished, a considerable amount of time is given to the leader. Twisting has occurred.
With a general PR knot tool, it takes time to unwind this twist with your fingers, but with this knot tool, the leader grasped with both hands is tightly pulled and tensioned, and the ends of both arms It is possible to loosen the tension of the main line wrapped around the leader by moving it to the side that narrows the gap. When the tension is released, the leader exerts a force to restore the twisted part to its original state. At that time, the main line of the part where the tension is loosen can be restored to its original state. Wrap around the leader.
In this process, the twisting of the leader is alleviated, and the effect of reducing the trouble of untwisting by hand is obtained. At the same time, it is possible to prevent the leader from being bent due to a twist that leads to a decrease in strength.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the leader arm is movable, and by providing a tension spring or the like so that the leader arm is arranged at a predetermined position , the predetermined position corresponds to the size of the smaller leader spool. However, the position where the spring repulsion is maximized (the position where the leader is knitted on the main line) can be adapted to fix the larger leader spool .
Specifically, when arranged at a predetermined position, the distance between the lower arm tip position and the leader arm tip (distance between the arms) is the shortest, and the outer circumference side of the leader spool and the lower arm The surface of the winding part touches, and the winding part of the leader arm fits into the hole (shaft hole) in the middle of the leader spool, so that the leader spool has the lower arm winding part and the leader arm. It can be used as a spool holder.
If the position of the leader arm can be moved to the position where the leader is knitted to the main line, it can be used as a spool holder for a larger leader spool, and there is an advantage in terms of portability.

Further, as an effect obtained in claim 3 of the present invention, in the FG knot tool of Patent Document 3, the advanceability of the knitting portion is obtained from the relationship of the unique arm movement due to the arm shape of the dogleg shape. In this knot tool, the advancement of the knitting position can be obtained by moving the leader arm in the direction away from the knitting position using the movement of the leader arm. Further, by providing the tension spring, the leader arm can be moved in the direction away from the knitting position by the force of the tension spring, and the advanceability of the knitting position can be obtained. As a result, this knot tool also has characteristics that can achieve the same effects as in Patent Document 3.

Furthermore, since the leader arm is movable, the leader winding part can be moved away from the knitting position, so the end line side of the main line is removed from the lower arm winding part, By moving the arm, it is possible to stretch the knitted main line main line side and the leader in tension. In addition, by automatically performing this operation by the force of the tension spring, it is possible to immediately proceed to the half hitch work process. That is, the rewinding work of the leader for proceeding to the half hitch process required for a general FG knot tool is not required by the movable leader arm, and the time required for the wiring work is shortened.

  According to claim 4 of the present invention, and because it is a structure that does not use electrical parts or magnets, a knot tool corresponding to both PR knots and FG knots that can solve all the problems defined in the present application is realized. It becomes possible.

The knot tool of the present invention can be used for both PR knots and FG knots, but it can also be used as a half-hitch tool for connecting a snap with a leader using the guide portion (folding guide) of claim 2 of the present invention. Become available.
Recently, it is generally known that the connection strength is increased by applying a half hitch to the snap connection. By assisting the snap connection work, the PE line and the leader are connected, and the leader and the snap are connected. The entire line system can be connected with the knot tool of the present invention.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the back surface of the connection assisting tool of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view from the front when the connection aid of the present invention is folded.

As shown in FIG. 1, this connection assisting tool 1 has a nozzle arm 4 and an under arm 6 in the vertical direction, and these upper and lower arms are supported by an arm support shaft 2 a of the arm support portion 2. The mechanism for opening the tip is performed by an arm torsion coil spring 2d shown in FIG.
Also, arm release prevention pins 2e and 2e 'are provided as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, so that the tips of the upper and lower arms do not open more than necessary.
The leader arm 3 is supported by the arm support shaft 2a of the arm support portion 2 in the same manner as the upper and lower arms described above. However, in order to place the reader arm 3 at a predetermined position, that is, as shown in FIG. The position is adjusted by the leader arm tension spring 3a shown in FIG. The leader arm tension spring 3 a is fixed to the leader arm tension spring fixing metal fitting 2 b of the arm support portion 2.
In order to prevent the support portions of these three arms (3, 4, 6) from directly touching the spring portions of the torsion coil springs 2d for the arm and preventing the movement, the arm support shaft spacer 2c is shown in FIGS. As shown, the main structure of the arm support 2 is constructed.

A leader winding part 3d is provided at the tip of the leader arm 3, and the leader winding part 3d includes a leader winding part O-ring 3c and a leader winding part winding position 3d.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, four leader winding portions O-rings 3c are used, and two leader winding portions O-rings 3d are provided with the leader winding portion winding position 3d interposed therebetween.
The leader is sandwiched between two leader winding portions O-rings 3c on the base side of the leader arm 3, and then wound around the leader winding portion winding position 3d several times, and then the leader winding on the opposite side is wound. The leader can be locked by sandwiching the leader between the two O-rings 3c and fixing the leader.

  In this connection assisting tool 1, there are three winding portions, namely, a leader winding portion 3 d, a nozzle winding portion 5 d, and an underarm winding portion 6 d, but the basic usage and role are the same. Used for line fixing (including temporary fixing) and locking.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the nozzle portion 5 is provided at the tip of the nozzle arm 4. The nozzle portion 5 is provided so that the installation angle can be varied as shown in the example of FIG. 8, and is normally folded as shown in FIG.
The nozzle portion 5 is composed of a nozzle guide portion (tension guide) 5a, a nozzle winding portion 5b, a nozzle pipe 5e, a nozzle portion hook 5f, and a nozzle portion leader guide 5g. Of these, the nozzle winding portion 5b is composed of four nozzle windings. The stopper O-ring 5c and the nozzle winding part winding position 5d are configured.

Since the purpose of the nozzle guide portion (tension guide) 5a is to apply tension to the line, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 9, two tensions of the nozzle guide portion (S-shaped tension guide) 5a ′ are used. A method of creating tension by tying a line with an S-shaped guide is also conceivable.
The nozzle pipe 5e is used for passing the main line M when connecting the PR knots.
Nozzle hook 5f is connected to PR knot when the main line M breaks because the tension on the main line M is too strong or the line is damaged. It is designed to stay on the spot in the form of being caught by a leader so as not to be lost.
As shown in FIG. 5, the nozzle part leader guide 5g is characterized by extending to the back side in such a way as to extend the nozzle part hook 5f, but this length is the main connection when connecting the PR knot. It has the role of stabilizing the rotational posture of the auxiliary tool 1.

FIG. 6 is a view showing the back side of the connection assisting tool 1. The nozzle arm guide portion (folding guide) 4a and the under arm guide portion (folding guide) 6a provided on the back side are used when connecting the PR knots.
Specifically, in the connection of PR knots, when a thick leader is used, winding is performed only with the main line corresponding to the length between the nozzle guide portion (tension guide) 5a and the underarm winding portion winding position 6d. Since there is a case where the length to be knitted is insufficient, there is a role of securing the length to be wound (knitted) using these two folding guides.
As an example of the implementation diagram, an arrow portion shown in FIG. 10 corresponds.
The nozzle arm guide part (bending guide spare) 4b shown in FIG. 4 is provided in advance for a case where a length for further winding (knitting) is required.

  FIG. 7 is a view showing a state when the present connection aid 1 is folded.

Next, a procedure for knitting a PR knot with this connection aid will be described.
The drawings from FIG. 8 to FIG. 18 are diagrams for explaining the procedure for knitting PR knots.

First, as shown in FIG. 8, the main line branch line side Mb is passed through the nozzle pipe 5e of the present connection assisting tool 1, sandwiched between the under arm winding portions O-rings 6c, and temporarily fixed, and the main line M is wound under the arms. Wind several times around the stop winding position 6d. Then, the main line M with play is left in the portion between the wound position 6d and the nozzle pipe 5e.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main line M with play is used in the order of the nozzle arm guide (folding guide) 4a and the under arm guide (folding guide) 6a shown in FIG. The main line M is folded back and wound around the nozzle guide part (tension guide) 5a as shown in FIG. 9, or the S-shaped main line (S-shaped part) around the nozzle guide part (S-shaped tension guide) 5a ′. After tangling M ′, the main line main line side Ma is pulled outside the nozzle pipe 5e to prepare for winding as shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the leader branch line side Lb is passed through the nozzle part leader guide 5g. In addition, the leader of sufficient length wound around the leader spool exists on the extended line of the leader main line side La in FIG.
Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the main line side Ma is aligned with the leader branch side Lb, and the portion indicated by the range enclosed by Lh (the grip portion Lh on the left hand side) Use and hold firmly.
The right hand side firmly grasps the portion indicated by the range enclosed by Rh (the grip portion Rh by the right hand side).
Both hands are firmly grasped so that the leader L is taut, and then the connection assisting tool 1 is rotated several times in the direction indicated by the arrow.
While being rotated several times, the state shown in FIG. 13 is obtained.
In the stage of FIG. 12, the present connection assisting tool 1 is in a state of being hung from the leader at the portion of the nozzle hook 5f, but in the stage of FIG. 13, it is hung to the leader L through the main line M wound around the leader L. It has become.
At this stage, all the weights of the connection assisting tool 1 are applied to the main line M, and the tension is applied.
Up to this point, the winding has been proceeding to the leader main line La side, but when the main line M is tensioned, the holding position on the right hand side is held again at a position where it hits the nozzle section leader guide 5g. Specifically, the tip of the right thumb and the claw of the thumb are firmly held so that they touch the nozzle unit leader guide 5g. Thereby, even if it rotates further, it does not advance in the direction of the leader main line side La.

When the right-hand side is picked up again, as shown in FIG. 13, the result of rotating the main connection assisting tool 1 in the direction of the arrow 20 times or more and winding it around the leader branch side Lb is as shown in FIG.
The tip end side of the arm of the connection assisting tool 1 becomes narrower by the main line M wound around the leader L, and the state shown in FIG.
At the stage of winding from FIG. 13 to FIG. 14, if the speed at which the present connection assisting tool 1 is rotated is increased, the centrifugal force increases, resulting in an increase in line tension. Conversely, if the rotation is slowed, the line tension becomes weaker. However, this line tension does not fall below the line tension that the connection assisting tool 1 has statically, that is, the force that the arm torsion coil spring 2d shown in FIG. 2 has.
14 shows the carabiner ring portion 6e. By attaching an additional weight (weight) to this portion, it is possible to increase the rotational inertia force of the connection assisting tool 1. Yes. At the same time as the inertial force increases, the centrifugal force also increases, and the line tension can be further increased.

Once the wrapping around the leader is complete, the next step is a half-hitch finish.
Before performing the half hitch in advance, it is necessary to unscrew the portion that is wound (entangled) around the leader branch side Lb as seen in FIG. In this operation, the twist is alleviated by moving the tip of the under arm 6 slightly upward (nozzle part 5 side) while the leader L is pulled and tensioned with the left and right hands.
Next, in order to perform a half hitch, the main run M locked to the underarm winding portion O-ring 6c in FIG. 14 is removed, the main line M is pulled out from the nozzle pipe 5e, and each line is locked as shown in FIG. Try again.
In FIG. 15, the leader main line side La is first sandwiched between the under arm winding part O-ring 6c and wound around the under arm winding part winding position 6d several times, and then the main line main line side Ma is set to the nozzle. It is wound several times around the winding part winding position 5d, and is sandwiched and locked in the nozzle winding part O-ring 5c. Further, the leader branch line side Lb is temporarily fixed to the nozzle winding part O-ring 5c.

FIG. 16 is an enlarged view of the knitting position of the half hitch.
Since the main line main line side Ma, the leader branch line side Lb, and the leader main line side La are locked to the upper and lower arm winding portions, the half-hitch operation can be performed with the consciousness concentrated on the main line branch line side Mb. It is like that.
As shown in FIG. 16, the half hitch procedure is as follows. The tip of the main line branch line side Mb is turned to the main line main line side Ma and the leader branch line side Lb, and then the front side is passed. After passing through the created wheel, one half hitch is completed by forcing the tip of the main line branch line side Mb to close the wheel.
As shown in FIG. 16, it is desirable that the half hitch wound around the main line main line side Ma and the leader branch line side Lb is performed eight times or more. FIG. 17 shows a state where the half hitch is performed eight times.

Next, the main line main line side Ma is half-hitched at the main line branch line side Mb, but before that, the leader branch line side Lb is removed from the nozzle winding part O-ring 5c to cut off the extra leader . FIG. 18 shows a state where the main line main line side Ma is half-hitched at the main line branch line side Mb.
Finally, a knot called an end knot is made, and the excess main line branch line side Mb is cut off to complete the PR knot.

Next, the procedure for knitting FG knots with the present connection aid 1 will be described.
The drawings from FIG. 19 to FIG. 24 are diagrams for explaining the procedure for knitting FG knots.

First, as shown in FIG. 19, the main line M is sandwiched and locked in the under arm winding portion O-ring 6c of the present connection assisting tool 1, and the nozzle portion is wound several times around the under arm winding portion winding position 6d. The main line M is extended to the 5 side, wound several times around the nozzle winding portion winding position 5d, and sandwiched and locked in the nozzle winding portion O-ring 5c.
Next, the leader is sandwiched between the leader winding part O-ring 3c, the leader main line La is wound several times around the leader winding part winding position 3d, and then the leader winding part O-ring 3c is sandwiched again to the main line. A leader spool around which the leader is wound exists on the extension line of the leader main line La, which extends to the opposite side of the position where the leader intersects (crossing position) Xa.
This completes the preparation before knitting the FG knot.

20 and 21 are diagrams showing a procedure for knitting FG knots.
First, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), the leader branch side Lb is folded back and U-turned from the leader winding side 3b through the lower side of the main line branch side Mb, and the right hand is passed through the upper side of the main line branch side Mb. This result is as shown in FIG.
Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (C), the leader branch line side Lb is folded back and U-turned from the leader winding part 3b side through the lower side of the main line main line side Ma, and the right hand side through the upper side of the main line main line side Ma. This result is as shown in FIG.

The result of repeating the procedure from FIG. 20A to FIG. 20D five times is as shown in FIG.
At this stage, a half hitch is applied to bind the knitting. FIG. 21B shows the half hitch procedure.
As a procedure, the leader branch line side Lb is passed through the lower side of the main line branch line side Mb and passed through the upper side of the main line branch line side Mb. Then, the leader branch side Lb is pulled strongly through the lower side of the leader branch side Lb. The result is as shown in FIG. 21C, and the initial stage of the FG knot that is difficult to knit is completed.

FIG. 22 shows a state of the present connection assisting tool 1 at the stage where FIG.
As the next procedure, it is necessary to proceed to a process called half-hitch or end knot, which is a finishing operation.
As a procedure, first, the main line branch line side Mb is removed from the under arm winding part O-ring 6c, and the main line branch line side Mb wound around the under arm winding part winding position 6d is unwound.
Next, by moving the leader arm in the clockwise direction, a state where the leader main line La and the main line main line Ma are stretched is created. At this time, when the leader arm tension spring 3a is provided as shown in FIG. 2, the leader arm moves in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 23 by the force of the leader arm tension spring 3a and the leader main line La and The main line main line side Ma is automatically stretched.
Next, the leader branch line side Lb is temporarily fixed to the nozzle winding part O-ring 5c, and the process proceeds to the half-hitch operation.
