Description

The present invention relates to a snap opening / closing device for fishing.

Fishing has become more popular as a leisure activity and has become popular with a wide range of people from some enthusiasts. There are two types of fishing line: tip thread and road thread. The tip thread is a fishing line attached between the road thread and the device (a set of fishing hooks, weights, etc.). The road thread is the fishing line wound on the reel of the fishing rod, and both threads have different thicknesses.

In order to easily connect the tip thread and the way thread, a metal fitting with rings on both sides called Sarkhan is used in the middle. In addition to connecting the threads, Sarkhan is made so that the metal fittings rotate, and it has the function of removing the twist of the threads. By taking a twist, there are advantages such as eliminating the rotation of the bait and improving the bite, the strength is more stable than the direct connection, and even if the bait is cut off, it is limited to below the sarkhan. In addition, a sarkhan with a snap at the bottom has been developed, which makes it easy and quick to set and replace the gimmick, so even beginners who are not accustomed to tying fishing lines can securely attach it, which is very popular.

Special Rapid Service 2002-142824 Gazette

While the sarkhan with a snap has the above advantages, it is difficult to open and close due to the thin wire-like shape of the snap portion having a diameter of less than 1 mm, which is pushed open and then pushed and closed again. Moreover, it requires power, and there are many cases of failure without closing it securely. Snaps can be very awkward for many women, as even strong men may not be able to get them off. It's difficult to remove and put on snaps well, even when it's cold and your hands aren't clenching. Many men use their thumb nails to open and close the snaps, but the nails can crack, so women who put on makeup on their nails cannot handle it.

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is compact and lightweight, easy to carry, can be easily put in a pocket of fishing wear, etc., and is easy to take out. We provide snap closures for fishing that facilitate opening and closing.

Specifically, the present invention provides a snap opening / closing tool for fishing that is durable even in a place where there are many opportunities to come into contact with water such as the sea and can be opened / closed by sandwiching a snap.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, there is provided a snap opening / closing tool for fishing that can be easily used by both men and women in fishing using a snap for fishing and increases the enjoyment of fishing.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
<Embodiment 1>

The snap opening / closing tool for fishing of the present invention has a thorn-like shape as a whole (FIG. 1), and has notches (FIG. 1: 0104) on both claws of the grip portion at the tip. FIG. 1 is an external view of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing of the present patent, and the tip portion (FIG. 1: 0101) has upper and lower cutout portions (FIG. 1: 0104) as described above. The metal at the rear end (Fig. 1: 0103) draws a U-shape with respect to the front end, and you can feel the elasticity by grasping the whole and pressing the part where you put your finger (Fig. 1: 0102). .. That is, the tip portion has a structure in which the upper and lower parts are separated from each other when the necessary force is not applied to the part to which the finger is applied.

The dimensions of the snap closure for fishing are 60 to 130 mm in total length. The width (FIG. 1: 0105) is 3 to 12 millimeters. The shape of the notch is drawn in a U shape in FIGS. 1 and 2, but not only this shape but also a V shape, a semicircular shape, and the like are possible. In the case of a V-shape, it is convenient because it is easy to lock in the notch even if the metal wire diameter of the snap is various. Even if it is U-shaped, if the bottom portion of the U-shape draws a gentle curve, the same effect as when there is a V-shaped notch can be obtained. The width of the notch (FIG. 1: 0110) is preferably 0.3 to 3.0 mm, and the height of the notch (FIG. 1: 0109) is preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mm. This is because if the lower limit is smaller than this, the metal wire of the snap is often missed, and if the upper limit exceeds this, the metal wire of the snap has too much play in the notch. By the way, the diameter of the metal wire of the snap is about 0.3 mm for a small snap and about 1.5 mm for a large snap, although it depends on the size of the snap. Is for large snaps. When the notch is V-shaped, the crossing angle of the V-shape is preferably about 30 to 60 degrees. If the angle is steeper than 30 degrees, it becomes difficult to grab a snap with a thick wire diameter, and if the angle is wider than 60 degrees, the snap that is grabbed tends to rattle. The optimum V-shaped opening is in the range of 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. If it is narrower than this, the snap will often spill out, and if it is wider than 2.5 mm, rattling will increase when the snap is gripped.

The distance between the upper and lower tips (FIG. 1: 0106) is usually about 3 to 14 mm. If it is smaller than the lower limit of 3 mm, it is difficult to insert the metal wire of the snap between the claws, and conversely, if it is larger than the upper limit of 14 mm, it is difficult to aim because the metal wire of the snap is pinched. The distance at the base of the tip (FIG. 1: 0107) is usually 6 to 17 mm, and when closed it is 3 to 4 mm. The maximum opening width of the tip (FIG. 1: 0106) is usually 5 to 15 mm and the maximum is 15 to 30 mm. The width of the rear end (Fig. 1: 0108) is 3 to 8 mm.

The material of the snap opening and closing tool for fishing is stainless steel or other metal that is resistant to rust. Since it is used for fishing, it is preferable that it is a material that does not rust or that it is rust-proofed, and stainless steel is suitable because it does not rust easily. As a rust preventive treatment, it is conceivable to apply an oxidation coating to the metal surface.
<Embodiment 2>

The notch portions (FIGS. 2: 0204, 0205) of both claws arranged at the tip of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing of the present invention are arranged at positions where both claws are closed.

FIG. 2 (0200) is a front view of the closed state of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing. Here, when the upper tip claw (Fig. 2: 0201) and the lower tip claw (Fig. 2: 0202) are closed, the notch on the upper claw and the notch on the lower claw meet. It can be seen that the space is such that the snap is sandwiched between the tips. The above state indicates that the notches are fitted by the pressure of the upper and lower fingers (FIG. 2: 0203).
<Embodiment 3>

The notch portions of both claws of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing of the present invention have a notch width capable of locking the U-shaped hook metal wire of a commercially available fishing snap.

FIG. 3 (FIG. 3: 0300) describes the operation of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing of the present invention in relation to the snap for fishing. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the tip of the snap opening / closing tool for fishing (FIG. 3: 0301) of the present invention is close to the tip of the snap for fishing (FIG. 3: 0302) and lined up. The opening / closing tool has not yet touched the snap, and the snap is about to be opened / closed.

FIG. 3B is a step forward from the situation of FIG. 3A, in which the fishing snap switch (FIG. 3: 0302) is applied to the tip of the fishing snap (FIG. 3: 0303). , The snap switch for fishing has not been applied yet.

In FIG. 3 (c), a force is further applied to the fishing snap switch (FIG. 3: 0304) from the state in which the fishing snap switch is applied to the tip of the fishing snap in FIG. 3 (b). It shows a state in which the tip of the snap (FIG. 3: 0305) is pushed and detached from the cover (FIG. 3: 0306). In this state, the fishing snap can be replaced. When the snap exchange for fishing is completed according to FIG. 3 (c), the process returns to FIG. 3 (a) and waits for the next work. The above is the movement of the fishing snap switch and the fishing snap.
