Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement of a lighted float used for fishing.

<Prior art> In general, this type of float has been developed for fishing at dusk, at night, and early in the morning, and the demand for this type of boat is that it should be light-emitting or illuminated so that it is clearly visible at night and at night. This was the most important function. Therefore, many conventional devices have a structure in which a small battery is mounted inside a transparent or semi-transparent float, and a light emitting bulb is attached to the inside of the head to emit light continuously.

<Problems that the invention seeks to solve> However, although these conventional lights are certainly effective at night or in the dark, in actual use they remain lit all the time, and cannot be easily illuminated by gaze. Once a bite occurs due to an illusion caused by eye strain or fatigue, it is difficult to judge when the bite occurred. Moreover, it requires a high level of skill to distinguish between the sway of the waves and the pull of fish.Furthermore, leaving the light on all the time causes the battery to drain and run out prematurely, making it difficult for fish to actually bite. This caused the inconvenience that by the time the lights arrived, there was no longer enough electricity to turn on the lights.

In addition, there are electric floats described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-177638 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 52-36176 that address the above-mentioned problems. However, with these electric floats, when the fishing line is pulled in the direction of the fishing needle,
The light is emitted temporarily or the light changes to another color, and there is a problem that you cannot see the fish's hit unless you are constantly staring at the float.

In any of the floats mentioned above, if a fish dives deep with bait in its mouth, the float will be drawn into the water. That is, when fishing using these floats, the fish often sense this buoyancy resistance during retraction and let go of the bait.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an illuminated telegraph board that solves the above-mentioned problems.

<Means and effects for solving the problems> The lighted electric float of the present invention has a lighting section which is arranged inside the float body and has at least two types of light means, at least one of which is lit during use. and,
It is equipped with a switch key that is removably inserted into the bottom of the float body, and a switch that is provided inside the float body and that switches the lighting means by inserting and removing the switch key. In addition to passing the fishing line through the fishing line, a fishing line stopping member is provided between the fishing line locking ring and the switch key, and when the fishing line is pulled in the direction of the fishing needle and the switch key is removed, the switch is activated. It is characterized in that it operates to continuously display the light display means after switching without sinking.

Note that the indicator light means here includes weak light and strong light, constant light and flashing light, lights of mutually different colors, and the like.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a float body whose specific gravity is smaller than that of water,
It consists of a lower part 1a, an upper part 1b, and a head part 1c, each of which are removably engaged with each other. And the head 1c
In particular, since the luminous bulb 2 is mounted there, it is provided transparently or semi-transparently. Next, a notch hole 3 as narrow as possible is bored in the bottom part 1d of the lower part 1a of the float body, and a lightweight plate-shaped switch key 4 is inserted into the notch hole 3 and removably inserted therein. The face is inserted. 5 Switch key 4 inserted into the inside from the bottom 1d of the float body
This key box 5 is also removably and watertightly installed on the bottom part 1d from inside the main body. When the switch key 4 inserted into the key box 5 is pressed, the switch key 4 is turned OFF, and when the switch key 4 is removed, the key box 5 is turned OFF.
A switch 6 that is turned ON is provided, and a micro switch is suitable as the switch 6, for example. A screw 7 is provided on the key box 5 to sandwich the switch key 4 with the movable iron piece 6a of the switch 6, and by tightening or loosening this screw 7, the switch key 4 can be connected to the movable iron piece 6a of the switch 6 at any time. The pinching of the switch key 4 can be adjusted. That is, switch key 4
is held between a screw 7 fixed to the bottom portion 1d of the main body and the switch 6, and specifically supported by the movable other piece 6a of the switch 6. Further, the key box 5 is sealed with a rubber gasket or oil to ensure watertightness, and in particular, a waterproof bag 5 made of rubber or the like having an opening aligned with the notch hole 3 is provided.
It is also possible to provide a switch key 4 into which the switch key 4 is inserted. Also, 8,8 is
These are batteries that are removably installed inside the lower part 1a of the float body 1 and are partially buried so that they will not come off even if there is a slight impact. I'm using one. Reference numeral 9 denotes a spanning board on which the luminescent bulb 2 mounted on the head 1c is placed. On the other hand, at the lower end of the switch key 4, a part protruding from the bottom 1d of the float body has a hanging line locking ring 10 provided on the bottom 1d of the float body.
The hanging line 11 that has passed through is passing through. and,
The hanging line 11 located between the hanging line locking ring 10 and the switch key 4 is provided with a hanging line locking ring 10 or the like so that the hanging line moves a predetermined length and stops between them. A hanging line stop member 12 having a larger diameter than the hanging line hole of the key 4 is attached.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the electric circuit of the lighted electric float of the present invention will be explained. First, as for the circuit configuration, among the terminals a, b, and c of the switch 6, the terminal c is directly connected to the (-) terminal of the luminous bulb 2.
The (+) terminal of this luminous bulb 2 is connected to the (-) side of the first battery 8. The (+) side of the battery 8 is connected to the (-) side of another battery 8 via a contact d, and the (+) side of this battery 8 is connected to the terminal d of the switch 6. Terminal a of the remaining switch 6 is provided between the batteries 8 and 8. Now, in this circuit diagram, the movable piece 6a of terminal c,
That is, the switch piece is in a state connected to the terminal a side. This indicates that the switch key 4 is inserted into the key box 5 and presses the movable piece 6a toward the terminal a, as shown in FIG. Further, at this time, the other end e of the terminal a is free, that is, OFF, with respect to the contact d, and as a result, the lighting means does not operate. Next, when a fish bites and the fishing line 4 is pulled downward, the fishing line stopping member 12 also moves in the direction of the arrow A, whereby the switch key 4 is engaged and removed downward. At that moment, the pressure of the switch on the movable piece 6a is removed and the movable piece 6a is switched to the terminal b. That is, the terminals c and b are connected, and 3V power from the two batteries 8, 8 flows to the luminous bulb 2. With this lighting, fish catches can be reliably identified even at night. By the way, when implementing
Although the street lighting operation alone can achieve a certain degree of effect in terms of battery conservation and fish eating, when the fish are not eaten, that is, when the light emitting bulb 2 is off, the position of the float is not recognized from the beginning. Inconveniences such as not being able to leave the room may also occur. Therefore, if the terminal e provided in the circuit is connected to the contact d, even if the movable piece 6a is connected to the terminal a for turning off the lighting means by pressing the switch key 4, the terminal e will be connected to the contact d as described above. e is not free, forming a circuit similar to when only the 1.5V battery on the left side of the figure is connected to the luminous bulb 2, and when the switch key 4 is inserted into the float body 1, only 1.5V lights up. Also, when switch key 4 is removed, the 1.5V battery is connected in series as above, and the bright 3V
This means that the light emitting bulb 2 is lit. Therefore, the two lighting operations in this case represent so-called lighting means for controlling the intensity of the luminous bulb 2. This means that at night, the light stays on as a constant low light (1.5V) even when there are no fish eating, allowing anglers to clearly see the position of the fish, but on the other hand, the low light does not waste battery power. Once the light is absorbed, the brightness can be increased to 3V strong light, which is sufficient to counter eye strain and fatigue. When the float body 1 is loaded with the hook, bait, etc. toward the target water surface, the float body 1 moves faster than the fishing line 11 as shown by arrow A in Figure 1, so the fishing line A thread stopping member 12 is attached to the locking ring 10.
is locked, and the float main body 1 is fixed to the hanging line 11, and no load is applied to the switch key 4.
Furthermore, the lighting means built into the float body 1 of the present invention can be switched in this manner, thereby completely eliminating the conventional inconveniences, and
Other lighting means, such as flashing, colored light displays or the use of light emitting devices, can be incorporated as a design consideration as well.

<Effects of the invention> As mentioned above, the lighting type electric float of the present invention is as follows.
The display on the lighting section changes depending on the fish's strike, and this switched display is displayed continuously, so you can easily identify whether there is a strike or not, even if you are not constantly staring at the fish. can do.

After the hit, the switch key separates from the float body, so the fishing line is not subjected to resistance from the float and can flow freely in the direction the fish is pulling. That is,
The float of this invention does not provide the buoyancy resistance that fish conventionally feel by pulling the float into the water.
You can feed the fish to the end in a floating state that is close to natural. As a result, even fish that are highly wary can be easily caught because they do not let go of the bait midway through.

In addition, since at least one type of light means is lit when in use, the lighted electric float of the present invention has many excellent effects, such as making it easy to confirm the position of the float even in the dark. It's summery.
