Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of an automatic needle reinforcing device.

[Conventional technology]

It is well known from the experience of anglers as well as the results of many experiments that the thinner the fishing needle is, the less wary the fish will be.

However, if a large fish is caught using a thin needle, it will be cut off, so anglers have used various devices and fishing techniques to prevent this, but even highly skilled anglers When fish got into the roots, the needles were often cut off. This kind of situation where the hook breaks is not a problem in recreational fishing, but it is a big problem for fishermen.

In order to solve these problems, the inventor first
In Japanese Patent Application No. 57-208336, we proposed an automatic needle reinforcement device that uses a thin needle to improve the approach of fish and automatically reinforces the thin needle when a large fish hooks. There is. This automatic needle reinforcement device is
As shown in FIG. 7 cited in the present invention, a locking body 3 is provided on the root thread (also called chimoto) 1, and a needle element 4 having a needle 5 is connected, and a reinforcement longer than the needle element 4 is provided. A body 6 is provided, and a guide body 8 is provided to guide the thread 7.
A load sensing type unlocking means 9 is provided which is connected to the rear end of the reinforcing body 6 via the reinforcing body 6 and locking the reinforcing body 6 to the guide thread 7. A locking means 10 for locking the root thread 1 to the locking body 3 is provided.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above-mentioned automatic needle reinforcing device, as shown in FIG. 7, the reinforcing body 6, which is composed of one rod-shaped body, needs to have a length slightly longer than the needle element. However, when trying to use relatively thin and long needles to improve the fish's approach, there was a problem in that the overall structure was very bulky, making it difficult to handle, and there was a risk of bending during transportation.

Therefore, due to the deformation of the reinforcing body 6, a situation has arisen in which reliable operation cannot be performed at all times.

Furthermore, since the reinforcing body 6 is a long rod-like member, it is unbalanced when thrown in with a fishing rod, making it difficult to cast long distances, and also having poor directionality, making it difficult to cast the fish into the desired position.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the problems of the prior art described above, the automatic needle reinforcement device according to the present invention has a needle 5 attached to one end of the root thread 1, and a needle element 4 connected to the other end with a locking body 3 interposed therebetween. , a load-sensing unlocking means for switching the reinforcing body 6 from a non-operating state to an operating state, by providing a reinforcing body 6 longer than the needle element 4, and connecting a thread 7 to the rear end of the reinforcing body 6; 10, and a locking means 6D is provided at the tip of the reinforcing body 6 to lock this tip to the locking body 3 of the root thread 1. 8 with a shaft 9,
The reinforcing body 6 is made of a flexible material that can be wound around the shaft 9 in a band shape, and the frame-like body 8 is configured to accommodate most of the reinforcing body 6 in the wound state, The proximal end of the needle element 4 is connected to this frame-shaped body 8, and the lock release means 10 is provided between the guide thread 7 or a part of the reinforcing body 6 and the frame-shaped body 8. It was.

[Effect]

That is, by constructing the reinforcing body 6 in the form of a strip of flexible material that can be wound, it is possible to wind up the reinforcing body 6 with a low volume when setting the automatic needle reinforcement device to the winding state. It can be done. By this,
While exhibiting the original needle reinforcing function of an automatic needle reinforcing tool, it is more compact and well balanced than conventional rod-shaped reinforcing bodies, making it easier to handle and cast over long distances.

Furthermore, since the reinforcing body 6 is housed in the frame-shaped body in a wound state when it is set in the non-operating state, there is no risk of bending during transportation and handling compared to conventional rod-shaped reinforcing bodies. This allows troubles caused by deformation to be prevented.

[First Example] As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, a root thread (also called Chimoto) 1 made of a strong synthetic fiber such as Keprat (registered trademark) or a synthetic resin filament is used. A locking body 3 is provided and a needle element 4 having a needle 5 is connected thereto. As the locking body 3,
Here, a knot between the root thread 1 and the needle element 4 is used, but it may be made of a material such as beads, plastic balls, ceramic balls, or steel balls.

The needle element 4 may be a very thin one, rather than one of a suitable thickness that is normally applied to the target fish, and is chosen to be much weaker than the root thread 1. . Reference numeral 6 denotes a reinforcing body that is longer than the needle element 4, and here, it is a thin steel plate that is a flexible material that can be wound, and is configured in the shape of a tapered band that becomes thinner toward the lower end. There is. The strength of the reinforcing body 6 can be increased by having a depression in the center along the longitudinal direction, that is, by configuring the reinforcing body 6 to have a substantially U-shape in cross section in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A tapered annular body 6A is provided at the tip of this reinforcing body 6, and a small diameter portion 6B at the tip.
is configured to allow the passage of the root thread 1 and the needle element 4, and the large diameter portion 6C following this is configured to allow the passage of the locking body 3. The annular body 6A and the locking body 3 constitute a locking means 6D. Reference numeral 7 denotes a thick thread connected to the rear end of the reinforcing body 6 via a load sensing type unlocking means 10, which will be described later. Reference numeral 8 denotes a casing as a frame-like body, which is constructed like a tape measure case (approximately a flat cylindrical body).A shaft 9 is rotatably provided at the center of the casing, and the needle element 4 is attached to the lower part of the casing, which will be described later. Operation restriction mechanism 11
has been fixed through. A rotation knob 9A is connected to the shaft 9 on the outside of the casing 8,
A substantially middle portion of the reinforcing body 6 is fixed on the inside thereof, and most of the reinforcing body 6 is accommodated in the casing 8 when the reinforcing body 6 is wound around the shaft 9. Said rotation knob 9A
Alternatively, instead of having a protruding shape as shown in the drawings, the thread 7 and the needle element 4 may be prevented from becoming entangled by using a screwdriver with a round head or a flat head. The reinforcing body 6 is fixed to the shaft 9 by providing a slit 9B in the shaft 9, passing the reinforcing body 6 through the slit 9B, and fixing both with a pin 9C. However, any suitable conventional means may be used for this fixing and attachment means.

The load sensing type unlocking means 10 is provided here near the connecting portion between the guide thread 7 and the rear end of the reinforcing body 6 in order to switch the reinforcing body 6 from a wound state to an extended state. an elastic engagement plate-like body 10A as an engagement body; an opening 10B at the upper part of the casing 8; an elastic engagement plate-like body 10 pressed against the inner surface of the opening 10B of the casing 8 by the screw 10C;
A is configured so that when a fish is caught and a large force is applied to pull the casing 8 downward, the elastic engagement is released, thereby functioning as a load sensing type unlocking means.

The operation limiting mechanism 11, as shown in FIG.
One end thereof is fixed to the lower part of the casing 8,
A horizontal U-shaped elastic rod 11A has the needle element 4 fixed to the other end, and a vertical U-shaped rod 11B has both ends fixed to the lower part of the casing 8 to limit the vertical movement range of the other end. It consists of

This operation limiting mechanism 11 is for providing a margin for the expected elongation of the needle element 4,
Therefore, if the needle element 4 is sufficiently long, it is not necessary, and in addition to the above-mentioned structure, a pin-shaped elastic rod may be used.

Reference numeral 12 is a so-called thread, which is provided across the upper part of the casing 8 and a twisting thread 13 provided at the tip of the thread 7, and is made of a thread thinner than the thread 4. It is preferable to use this tobashi 12 in combination with the above-mentioned load sensing type unlocking means 10, but it may be used in place of this locking releasing means 10 as needed to have the same role. It is.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a pin groove, which is formed along the upper part from the center position with respect to the shaft 9 in the part of the reinforcing body 6 that extends above the casing 8. is fitted to the upper part of the casing 8 so that it can be engaged with the casing 8. This brake pin 15 comes into contact with the side surface of the reinforcing body 6 to perform a braking action when the load sensing type unlocking means 10 starts to operate, and when the movement of the reinforcing body 6 approaches the end. The brake pin 15 fits into the pin groove 14 to release the brake action, and the large diameter portion 6C passes smoothly through the locking body 3.

Next, regarding the operation, when a large fish is caught on the hook 5 and a strong force is applied to the needle element 4, the casing 8 is pulled from the needle element 4 via the operation limiting mechanism 11. As a result of the engagement plate-like body 10A elastically engaged with the casing 8 being pulled straight by the guide thread 7,
The engagement plate-like body 10A fixed thereto is detached from the opening 10B, and the reinforcing body 6
is unwound, its shaft 9 rotates, and this reinforcing body 6
The other end side is drawn out from the casing 8.

As a result, the annular body 6A at the tip of the reinforcing body 6 climbs over the locking body 3, and when the needle element 4 continues to be pulled, the needle element 4 itself and the operation limiting mechanism 11 stretch. The locking body 3 engages with the small diameter portion 6B at the tip of the annular body 6A, so that the pulling force of the fish is transmitted to the line 7 through the reinforcing body 6, and the needle element 4 is cut. This means that you won't have to worry about it.

Incidentally, the casing 8 may be of a frame type with a visible interior other than that shown.

Further, the upper half of the reinforcing body 6, that is, the part that comes above the shaft 9 in the unwound state, is not made of the same material, but is made of, for example, a very large number Tegus or Keprat (registered trademark). , may be connected to the lower half of the reinforcing body 6.

[Effect of idea]

According to the automatic needle element reinforcing device according to the present invention, while exhibiting the needle element reinforcing function inherent to the automatic needle element reinforcing device described above, the reinforcing body can be constructed in a band shape using a flexible material that can be wound. Therefore, when setting this automatic needle reinforcing device, this reinforcing body can be rolled up to reduce its bulk. This makes it more compact and well-balanced than conventional rod-shaped reinforcing bodies, making it easier to handle and cast over long distances.

Furthermore, since this reinforcing body is housed in a wound state within the frame-shaped body when set, there is no risk of bending during transportation and handling, compared to conventional rod-shaped reinforcing bodies.
Therefore, there is also an effect that troubles caused by deformation of this can be prevented.
