Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention is a fishing sinker or float that is universally used in fishing or recreational fishing, and is easy to attach and detach from the fishing line, and is suitable for fishing conditions. This invention relates to a fishing sinker or float for use in combination with an elastic fishing line tool, which allows the type of sinker or float to be changed at will.

PRIOR ART Conventional fishing weights or floats are nothing more than a sinker or float with a hole through which a fishing line is inserted. Therefore, it has become customary to first insert a fishing line into a sinker or float to be used, and then attach a device such as a fishing hook to the sinker or float.

Problems that the present invention aims to solve: For this reason, the weights or floats are designed to suit various conditions such as the strength of ocean currents and currents, the height of waves, the thickness of the fishing line, the type of bait, etc. Also, even in lakes and rivers, the type and size of sinkers or floats that are most appropriate must be selected according to various conditions such as speed of flow, water depth, type of fish, etc.; Attempting to replace the sinker or float to make it compatible involves the troublesome work of having to cut the fishing line, insert the fishing line through a new sinker or float, and then remake the hook and other devices. .

Another example of the use of a hollow weight is bottom fishing, in which the weight is placed on the bottom of the water. Pulling the fishing line may cause the fishing rod to break, so it is inconvenient that it is necessary to cut the fishing line between the sinker and the fishing rod and rebuild the fishing hook.

The present invention takes into consideration the disadvantages of fishing rods or floats as described above, and is designed to prevent fishing rods from falling off each time the weight or float gets caught on an underwater obstacle or is pulled too hard. This eliminates the need to cut the fishing line or rebuild the fishing hook every time there is a risk of damaging the fishing line, and makes it easy and efficient to replace and attach/detach weights and floats. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fishing sinker or float for use with fishing line equipment.

Means and Effects for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a weight or a float main body 1 with a mounting hole 2 into which an elastic tube for inserting a fishing line material or an elastic string 5 which also serves as a fishing line is fitted, and the elastic tube or The attachment/detachment groove 3 of the elastic tube or elastic cord 5, which has a groove width W portion smaller than the outer diameter d of the elastic cord 5 and spans the entire axial length of the attachment hole 2, is connected from the attachment hole 2 to the weight or float. This is a fishing sinker or float for use with an elastic fishing line tool that extends to one outer peripheral surface of the main body 1.

The elastic tube 5 for inserting the fishing line material to be fitted into the mounting hole 2 of the weight or float body 1 is made of a material with appropriate elasticity, such as soft polyethylene, vinyl chloride resin, or polypropylene. Similarly, as the fishing line/elastic cord 5, a material having appropriate elasticity such as polyurethane rubber or rubber is used.

The fitted state between the mounting hole 2 of the weight or float main body 1 and the elastic tube or elastic string 5 is normally such that the mounting hole has an inner diameter D smaller than the outer diameter d of the elastic tube or elastic string 5. 2 to achieve a fixed fitted state, but if necessary, the inner diameter D of the mounting hole 2 may be set to be approximately the same length or larger than the outer diameter d of the elastic tube or elastic string 5, so that it can slide or fit in a fixed state. Of course, they may be in a loosely fitted state.

The fishing sinker or float constructed in this way is constructed by inserting an elastic tube into which a fishing line or other fishing line material is inserted, or an elastic string that also serves as a fishing line, along the attachment/detachment groove 3, and then inserting the fishing line 7 or other fishing line in the direction of the solid line arrow in FIG. When the fishing line material, elastic tube, or elastic string is pulled, the elastic tube or elastic string deforms as shown in FIG. . When you want to remove the weight or float from the fishing line, hold the weight or float body with one hand and pull the fishing line 7 or other fishing line material, or the elastic tube or elastic string outward of the attachment/detachment groove 3 with the other hand. As shown in FIG. 4, they deform from the attachment hole 2 along the attachment/detachment groove and come to separate from the weight or the float body. Therefore, when you want to replace a weight or float with a different shape or size, you can freely change them without cutting the fishing line, but at the same time, you can easily change the weight or float to a different shape or size without cutting the fishing line. Even if the fishing line is caught, the weight will be released from the fishing line by simply pulling the fishing line strongly, and troubles such as having to cut the fishing line or otherwise prevent damage to the fishing rod can be significantly reduced.

Example 1 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a mounting hole 2 having a diameter D slightly smaller than the outer diameter d of the elastic tube 5 for inserting fishing line material is bored in the spindle-shaped weight body 1 in the axial direction. On the other hand, the attachment/detachment groove 3 of the elastic tube 5, which has a groove width W smaller than the outer diameter d of the elastic tube 5 and extends over the entire axial length of the attachment hole 2, is inserted from the attachment hole 2 to one side of the weight body 1. This fishing sinker is open to the outer circumferential surface, and the outer circumferential portion of the weight main body of the attachment/detachment groove 3 is cut into a wedge-like surface to form a wide-angle surface 4.

In this case, the elastic tube 5 is connected to A, B in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. and C, the elastic tube 5 into which the fishing line 7 is inserted can be freely fitted into the mounting hole 2 via the attachment/detachment groove 3, or detached from the attachment hole 2. The elastic tube 5
The fitted state between the mounting hole 2 and the mounting hole 2 is a fixed fit because the outer diameter d of the elastic tube 5 is slightly larger than the diameter D of the mounting hole 2, and the outer diameter d of the elastic tube 5
Since the groove width W of the attachment/detachment groove 3 is smaller than the above, the weight will not naturally fall off from the elastic tube during fishing operations, and since the wide-angle surface 4 is provided, the elastic tube 5 can be passed through the attachment/detachment groove 3. The fitting operation into the mounting hole 2 can be performed more easily.

In the case of this embodiment, the fitted state between the elastic tube 5 and the mounting hole 2 is fixed as described above, but since the fishing line 7 and the elastic tube 5 are free to each other, the relationship between them is also fixed. If you want to make something special, you can use a method such as inserting a filler between the fishing line and the elastic tube or using an adhesive that is easy to attach and remove.

Embodiment 2 What is shown in FIG. 4 is a hollow sinker for fishing having a structure similar to that of the embodiment shown in FIG. This makes it easy to thread the fishing line through.

Embodiment 3 What is shown in FIG. 5 is a fishing sinker having the same structure as the embodiment in FIG. Both ends of the tube 5 are expanded into a funnel shape 6, and the presence of the guide 8 makes it easier to attach the elastic tube 5 to the attachment hole 2, and the both ends of the elastic tube are expanded into a funnel shape. Therefore, the fishing line 7 can be easily inserted into the elastic tube from either the left or right direction.

Embodiment 4 The weight main body 1 shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the attachment/detachment groove 3 is formed in such a manner that the cross section is cut along the circumferential surface of the attachment hole 2. In the case of this example, when the elastic tube 5 is attached to and removed from the attachment hole 2, the deformation resistance of the elastic tube is reduced, and there is an advantage that the attachment and detachment becomes smooth.

Embodiment 5 What is shown in FIG. 8 is a modification of a hollow weight used in a so-called "balance" device, etc., in which a fishing line 7 is attached to both ends of the weight main body 1 having a substantially truncated cone shape. An elastic tube 5 into which a wire 9 with a connecting loop is inserted
are fitted together. It is mainly used for cast fishing and boat fishing, but it is also convenient because the weight can be replaced at will.

Embodiment 6 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a mounting hole 2 having a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic tube 5 for inserting fishing line material is bored in the spindle-shaped weight body 1 in the axial direction. , an attachment/detachment groove 3 for the elastic tube 5 is opened from the attachment hole 2 to one outer peripheral surface of the weight body 1, and has a groove width smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic tube 5 and extends over the entire axial length of the attachment hole 2. However, Example 1
The difference is that the attachment/detachment groove 3 does not have any wedge-shaped surface on the outer periphery of the weight body to form a wide-angle surface.

Even with this configuration, by making the groove width of the attachment/detachment groove 3 to an appropriate degree smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic tube 5, the attachment/detachment of the elastic tube to/from the weight body can be carried out. There are no particular problems.

Embodiment 7 What is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is approximately the same as Embodiment 6, but in particular, the groove width of the attachment/detachment groove 3 is not constant, and the groove width is different from that of the weight body. The elastic tube 5 is made to gradually become wider toward the outer circumferential direction, and the elastic tube 5 is prevented from falling naturally from the weight body by the groove width of the narrow attachment/detachment groove 3 near the attachment hole 2.

Example 8 The weight body was the same as in Examples 1, 6, and 7, but as shown in FIG. The length of the section is also replaced by the elastic string. In this case as well, the operation of attaching and detaching the elastic string 5 to and from the mounting hole 2 can be performed freely through the elastic deformation of the string as in the case of the elastic tube, but in this case, the elastic string 5 is particularly flexible as shown by the chain line. This provides the advantage that elasticity can be imparted to the fishing line itself. Note that by appropriately selecting the ratio of the diameter of the elastic string 5 to the diameter of the mounting hole 2, the fitted state between the elastic string 5 and the mounting hole 2 can be made fixed or floating. Same as above.

Example 9 As shown in FIG. 14, a water droplet-shaped float body 1 is made entirely of polystyrene or the like and has a lead piece or other weight piece 10 embedded in its lower end. A mounting hole 2 into which the elastic tube 5 into which the fishing line 7 is inserted is fitted is bored in the mounting hole 2, and has a groove width smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic tube and extends over the entire axial length of the mounting hole 2. This fishing float is used in conjunction with an elastic fishing line material in which the attachment/detachment groove 3 of the elastic tube 5 is opened from the attachment hole 2 to one outer peripheral surface of the float body 1.

As described above, this type of hollow float can be freely fitted into the mounting hole 2 of the fishing line insertion elastic tube through the mounting/detaching groove 3, or removed from the mounting hole 2, so that the float can be adjusted in response to changes in the fishing environment. It is convenient because it is easy to replace.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above, the hollow weight or float according to the invention can be used in fishing and recreational fishing, depending on the size, size, etc. of the fishing spot, type of fish, etc.
It is easy to replace the weight or float with a different shape, and the need to cut the fishing line even if the weight or float gets caught in an obstacle underwater can be greatly reduced, so the effect of use is enormous.
