Description

The present invention relates to a lure used in bass fishing, and more particularly to a structure of a crawler type lure in which parts such as bird feathers are horizontally swiveled on both side surfaces of the lure body.

In bass fishing, a fishing method called top water is used. This is a fishing method that invites a bass to swim like a living thing by pulling a lure floating on the surface of the water at a constant speed called straight retrieve. The lure used for this is also called a noisy lure because it moves noisily on the surface of the water and makes noise. It is said that the noisy movement that makes noise appeals to the bus and makes it easier to bite.

There are three types of noisy lures, one of which is called a crawler lure. FIG. 11 is an example of a typical crawler type lure 50. Parts 52 like bird feathers are attached to both side surfaces of the lure body 51. When the lure body 51 is pulled at a constant speed while floating on the surface of the water, the blades 52 make a noise as if they crawl due to the resistance of the water and move noisily on the surface of the water.

FIG. 12 (1) is an exploded view of parts attached to one side of the lure body 51 of the crawler lure 50. It is composed of a blade 52, a joint metal fitting 53 for holding the blade 52 so as to be able to rotate horizontally, two screws 54, and a fastener consisting of four stopper screws 55. The stopper screw 55 is a component for preventing the blade 52 from tilting to the caudal side. The four parts constituting the fastener and the blade 52 are attached to the side surface of the lure body 51 in combination as shown in FIG. 12 (2). When the lure body 51 is in the horizontal state, the surface of the blade 52 is substantially vertical, and while maintaining the vertical state, the lure body 51 horizontally turns back and forth around the joint metal fitting 53.

When the lure body 51 is pulled forward by the fishing line, the blade 52 receives the resistance of water, turns rearward, and comes into contact with the stopper screw 55 to stop as shown in FIG. It is necessary for the lure to move noisily to stop the blade 52 in a posture substantially perpendicular to the side surface in this way, but this is a little problematic. When stopped in such a posture, the blade 52 is likely to be caught by an obstacle in the water, and if it is forcibly pulled in the hooked state, it may be deformed.

Further, since the blade 52 can turn to a position facing the forward direction, the blade 52 may be in a closed state as shown in FIG. 13 when it is first thrown into the water surface. In order to prevent this closed state, as shown in FIG. 14, there is also a stopper 56 provided in front of the side surface by a screw type. The conventional blade mounting methods shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 require 6 screwed parts in the method of FIG. 21 and 8 screwed parts in the method of FIG. 23 for mounting the two blades 52. Therefore, there is a problem that the assembly is complicated, troublesome, and the weight increases.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems of the prior art, and the problem is that in a crawler lure that attaches horizontally swiveling blades to both side surfaces of the lure body, the installation work of attaching the blades to the lure body is required. The purpose is to provide a mounting structure that is simple and can reduce the weight of the entire lure.

The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above problems is a blade-shaped component structure attached to the side surface of a lure body of a crawler lure used for bass fishing.
The structure is composed of a blade-shaped plate and a fastener for attaching the blade-shaped plate so as to be able to rotate horizontally with the blade surface vertical when the lure body is in a horizontal posture.
The blade-shaped plate has a rectangular hole long in the vertical direction formed at the base of the blade.
The fastener is composed of a joint metal fitting, a stopper screw, and two screws.
The joint metal fitting has a shape in which a horizontally long portion excluding both end portions of a horizontally long rectangular plate is bent into a semicircular shape, and holes for passing the screw are passed through both end portions and the stopper screw is passed through the central portion of the semicircular arc shape portion. Each hole is formed, and a cut-up of about 1/3 of the vertical width of the semicircular plate is formed in the portion between the stopper screw hole and one end of the semicircle on the side surface of the semicircular portion. It is provided in the central part in the vertical direction with the root part on the center side of the semicircular part, and the cut-up tip part is bent toward the outside of the semicircular part.
The stopper screw has a length longer than the radial dimension of the semicircular portion, and a flat ring-shaped portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the screw is formed on the head.
When forming a blade-shaped component structure with such parts and attaching it to the side surface of the lure body, one end of the joint metal fitting and a semicircular arc-shaped portion are passed through a rectangular hole at the base of the blade-shaped plate to form a blade. Attach the plate to the joint metal fittings, and in this state, attach the joint metal fittings to the side surface of the lure body with the two screws with both ends facing the head and tail of the lure body, and in that state, attach the blade-shaped plate. A blade characterized in that the stopper screw is screwed into the side surface of the lure body through a hole in the center of a semicircular portion in a state of being brought closer to the cut-up side to form a blade-shaped component structure. It is a shaped part structure.

With such a structure, the stopper 56 used in the conventional lure becomes unnecessary, so that the weight of the entire lure can be reduced and the time and effort for mounting can be reduced.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 eliminates the stopper screw and the hole through which the screw is passed in the vane-shaped part structure according to claim 1, and the cut-up tip portion is outside the semicircular portion. Instead of bending toward it, it is bent inward, and triangular protrusions are provided at both ends of the semicircular arc-shaped portion of the portion provided with the cut-up in the vertical direction, and the distance between the tips of the protrusions is the root of the vane-shaped plate. The rectangular hole of the portion is formed with a dimension longer than the vertical length, and a semicircle is formed between the center of the semi-arc-shaped portion and the end of the semi-arc-shaped portion on the side opposite to the side where the protrusion is provided. A cutout having a width of about 1/3 of the vertical width of the arc-shaped plate is formed, and a side view substantially V-shaped spring formed so as to maintain a constant spacing angle between the two sides is formed in the cutout. Is fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the screw head of the screw that fixes one end of the joint fitting to the side surface of the lure body and the joint fitting, and the other end is a semicircle from the formed cutout. It is attached so that it protrudes to the outside of the arc-shaped part, and the tip part is bent slightly at an angle in the direction in which the V-shape opens.
When the blade-shaped plate is swiveled toward the tail side of the lure body with the blade-shaped component structure having such a configuration attached to the side surface of the lure body, the tip of the blade at the base of the blade-shaped plate is bent inward. The tip of the substantially V-shaped spring that abuts on the raised portion and protrudes to the outside of the semi-arc-shaped portion abuts on the wing-shaped plate portion on the outside of the semi-arc-shaped portion, and in that state, the wing-shaped plate further lures. When trying to turn to the tail side of the main body, the angle between the two sides of the V-shaped spring narrows, so a force to widen the angle is generated from the V-shaped spring and is in contact with the vane-shaped plate. The vane-shaped component structure is characterized in that a force for pushing back from the tip of the V-shaped spring to the vane-shaped plate is applied.

With such a structure, the stopper 56 used in the conventional lure becomes unnecessary, so that it is effective in reducing the weight of the entire lure and the labor for mounting. Further, when the blade-shaped plate 13 turns toward the tail side at a steep angle, a force for pushing back is exerted by the spring 16. Since the lure is pushed back by a spring, the lure 11 is prevented from being deformed or damaged because an impact is not applied to the blade-shaped plate 13 as in the conventional product which collides with the stopper screw to stop the turning.

It is a lure 1 to which the blade-shaped component structure 2 according to the first embodiment is attached. It is an exploded perspective view of the vane-shaped component structure 2 attached to the right side surface of a lure 1. It is a side view of the state where the tail side surface of the vane-shaped plate 3 is in contact with the stopper screw and is stationary. It is a top view of the lure 11 to which the vane-shaped component structure 12 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is attached. It is a top view of the vane-shaped component structure 12 attached to the right side surface of a lure 11. It is an exploded perspective view of the vane-shaped component structure 12. It is a perspective view and the front view of the joint metal fitting 15. It is a block diagram of a spring 16. It is a top view of the vane-shaped component structure 12. It is a top view of the lure 11 to which the vane-shaped component structure 12 is attached. This is an example of a conventional crawler type lure 50. It is an exploded view of the part attached to one side of the lure body 51 of the conventional crawler type lure 50. It is a top view of the state which the blade 52 is closed. This is the state in which the stopper 56 of the conventional crawler lure 50 is attached.

Hereinafter, a configuration example of the vane-shaped component structure according to the present invention will be described separately for each embodiment.
(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 (1) is a side view of the lure 1 to which the blade-shaped component structure 2 according to the first embodiment is attached, and FIG. 1 (2) is a plan view. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a blade-shaped component structure 2 attached to the right side surface of the lure 1. The blade-shaped component structure 2 is composed of a blade-shaped plate 3 and a fastener 4 that is attached to the side surface of the lure 1 and holds the blade-shaped plate 3 so that the blade surface can be swiveled horizontally in a vertical state.

The blade-shaped plate 3 is formed in a shape in which the tail side surface of the lure 1 is slightly convex and the head side surface is slightly concave when attached to the lure 1. Further, a rectangular hole 3a long in the vertical direction is formed at the root portion of the blade-shaped plate 3.

The fastener 4 is composed of a joint metal fitting 5, a stopper screw 6, and two screws 7. The joint metal fitting 5 has a shape in which both ends of the horizontally long rectangular plate are left and the horizontally long rectangular portion between them is bent into a semicircular shape. Holes 5a through which the screws 7 are passed are formed at both end portions thereof, and holes 5b through which the stopper screws 6 are passed are formed at the central portion of the semicircular plate. In the part between the stopper screw hole 5b and one end of the semicircle in the semicircular plate portion of the joint metal fitting 5, a cut-up 5c having a width of about 1/3 of the vertical width of the semicircular plate is formed at the base thereof. The portion is provided in the central portion in the vertical direction in a state where the portion is connected to the central side of the semicircular plate, and the cut-up tip portion is bent toward the outside of the semicircular arc-shaped portion.

The length of the stopper screw 6 is longer than the radial dimension of the semicircular portion of the joint fitting 5, and a flat ring-shaped portion 6a extending in the longitudinal direction of the screw is formed on the head portion.

When the blade-shaped component structure 2 composed of such parts is attached to the side surface of the main body of the lure 1, one end of the joint metal fitting 5 and the semicircular plate portion are first formed at the root portion of the blade-shaped plate 3. The blade-shaped plate 3 is attached to the joint metal fitting 5 through the rectangular hole 3a. In that state, the joint metal fittings 5 are oriented so that both ends face the head and tail of the lure body, and are fixed to the side surface of the lure 1 body with two screws 7. Next, the blade-shaped plate 3 is cut up and brought closer to the 5c side, and the stopper screw 5 is screwed into the side surface of the lure body through the hole 5b at the center of the semicircular arcuate portion. As a result, the blade-shaped component structure 2 is in a state of being attached as shown in FIGS. 1 (1) and 1 (2).

The blade-shaped plate 3 can be horizontally swiveled while being held by the joint metal fitting 5, and when swiveled horizontally toward the head direction, as shown in (1) of FIG. 1 and (2) of FIG. The side surface is cut up and the side surface of the head is brought into contact with the cut up tip portion of 5c to stand still. On the contrary, when it is turned horizontally toward the tail, as shown in FIG. 3, it stands still with its head side surface in contact with the flat ring-shaped portion 6a of the stopper screw 6 head.

With such a structure, the stopper 5 used in the conventional lure becomes unnecessary, so that the weight of the entire lure 1 can be reduced and at the same time the time and effort for mounting can be reduced.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the lure 11 to which the blade-shaped component structure 12 according to the second embodiment is attached. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the blade-shaped component structure 12 attached to the right side surface of the lure 11, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view thereof. The blade-shaped component structure 12 is composed of a blade-shaped plate 13 and a fastener 14. The fastener 14 is attached to the side surface of the lure 11 and holds the blade-shaped plate 13 so that the blade surface can be swiveled horizontally with the blade surface vertical.

The blade-shaped plate 13 has a shape in which the tail side surface of the lure 11 is slightly convex and the head side surface is slightly concave when attached to the lure 11. Further, a rectangular hole 13a long in the vertical direction is formed at the root portion of the blade-shaped plate 13.

The fastener 14 is composed of a joint metal fitting 15, a spring 16, and two screws 17. The joint metal fitting 15 is shown in a plan view in FIG. 6, a perspective view thereof is shown in FIG. 7 (1), and a front view thereof is shown in FIG. 7 (2). As shown in FIG. 6, the joint metal fitting 15 has a shape in which both ends of the horizontally long rectangular plate are left and the horizontally long rectangular portion between them is bent into a semicircular shape. Holes 15a through which the screws 17 are passed are formed at both end portions of the above. In the portion between the center of the semicircle and one end of the semicircle in the semicircular plate portion of the joint metal fitting 15, a cut-up 15c having a width of about 1/3 of the vertical width of the semicircular plate is formed in the central portion in the vertical direction. It is provided in. The root of the cut-up is connected to the center side of the side surface of the semicircle, and the tip of the cut-up is bent toward the inside of the semicircular part. Triangular protrusions 15e are formed on both sides in the vertical direction of the side surface of the arcuate portion on which the cut-up 15c is formed.

A cutout hole 15d having a width of about 1/3 of the vertical width of the semicircular plate is vertically formed between the center of the semicircle on the side surface of the arcuate plate of the joint metal fitting 15 and the arc end on the side opposite to the raised portion 15c. It is provided in the center of the direction. This cutout hole 15d is used for mounting the spring 16. The spring 16 is for pushing back the blade-shaped plate 13 when it tries to turn toward the tail side of the lure 11 by a certain angle or more. The spring 16 is formed by bending an elastic wire into the shape shown in FIG. 8 (1) and further bending the elastic wire into the shape shown in FIG. 8 (2). A spring in which a wire is wound in a coil is formed in the central portion of the shape shown in FIG. 8 (1). As shown in (3) of FIG. 8, the joint fitting 15 is fixed in a state of being pressed against the surface of the joint fitting 15 with a screw 17 for fixing the joint fitting 15 to the lure 11. In the fixed state, the spring 16 is attached so as to fit inside the arc-shaped portion of the joint fitting 15, and in that state, the other end of the spring 16 is projected to the outside of the arc-shaped portion of the joint fitting 15. The vertical width of the spring 16 in FIG. 8 (1) is slightly narrower than the vertical width of the cutout hole 15d provided in the arcuate portion of the joint fitting 15.

FIG. 9 is a plan view of the assembled vane-shaped component structure 12. FIG. 10 is a plan view of the lure 11 with the blade-shaped component structure 12 attached. A state in which the blade-shaped plate 13 is swiveled toward the tail side at a steep angle is depicted. In this state, the spring 16 is compressed in the shape shown by the dotted line in FIG. 8 (3), so that a force for returning in the direction of the arrow in the figure is applied to the blade-shaped plate 13. When the force for turning the blade-shaped plate 13 toward the tail side weakens, the blade-shaped plate 13 is pushed back by the force of the spring 16 so that the blade-shaped plate 13 is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the spring 16.

When the blade-shaped plate 13 tries to turn at a steep angle toward the head of the lure 11, the rectangular holes 13a at the base of the blade-shaped plate 13 are cut up and 15c is formed on both sides in the vertical direction. It abuts on the triangular protrusion 15e and prevents further turning. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lure 11 is in contact with the triangular protrusion 15e.

With such a structure, the stopper 5 used in the conventional lure becomes unnecessary, so that it is effective in reducing the weight of the entire lure and the labor for mounting. Further, when the blade-shaped plate 13 turns toward the tail side at a steep angle, a force for pushing back is exerted by the spring 16. Since the lure is pushed back by a spring, the lure 11 is prevented from being deformed or damaged because an impact is not applied to the blade-shaped plate 13 as in the conventional product which collides with the stopper screw to stop the turning.
