Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention provides a float and an underwater float for fishing, which enhances visibility regardless of day and night and makes it easy to confirm a fish-belt.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, floats for fishing have mainly been made of wood such as paulownia or a material such as plastic for the visual recognition part, and have been marked with fluorescent or luminescent colors such as red, yellow, and green. But I tried to improve the visibility.

Regarding the underwater float, ebony, black, dark brown, etc. were used at the beginning, but in recent years, for the angler who catches Atari with the underwater float, green Colored ones such as yellow also started to appear.

In night fishing, an electric float or a chemiluminescent body was attached to the float for use.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as a trend in recent years, the shape of the body of the float becomes smaller in the float for float fishing, and the residual buoyancy of the float is reduced as much as possible so that the top of the float can slip on the water surface. There are many popular methods such as being in the water, or being slightly submerged from the surface of the water, which makes it very difficult to see due to various conditions such as long-distance flow, backlight, high waves, and wind. However, it became difficult to confirm the fishery, and a float with higher visibility was desired. There was a limit to improving visibility by coloring, and there were great expectations for the development of new materials or the combination with new materials from other fields.

Also in the rod float, the shape of the float main body is a so-called slim type, and the float upper part (visual recognition part) becomes thinner, and the visual recognition part becomes difficult to see due to the above conditions.

As for the underwater float, some fishermen catch the fish-belt by the movement of the underwater float, so it has been desired that they can be seen as deep as possible in the water.

[0008] Even when long-distance fishing is carried out by a device with a basket, or when a large floating float which is carried on a tidal current from a ship and flows to a long distance is used, it is difficult to confirm the visual recognition part and it is not easy to confirm the fishery.

Further, in night fishing, a chemiluminescent body is attached to a float for use, but these are also harder to see than during the daytime, such as when the waves are high or when they flow away.

On the other hand, polycarbonate resin, which has a fluorescent property (light-collecting property), has a small molding shrinkage and is stable and has high dimensional stability. It has outstanding impact resistance among plastics and weather resistance. It is used for warning signs, traffic signs, lighting advertisements, indirect lighting, etc., but it has been desired to develop applications in other fields.

The present invention makes use of the characteristics of conventional floats that do not give a resistance to fish, or maintains the respective characteristics such as underwater floats and long-distance floats, and has excellent visibility regardless of day or night. The purpose is to provide various types of floats, and to develop new applications of polycarbonate resin, which is a new material and has fluorescent properties (light-collecting properties).

[0012]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The float and the underwater float for fishing are characterized in that the body (1) is provided with a visual recognition portion (3) made of a polycarbonate resin (2) having a fluorescent characteristic (light condensing property). Further, the polycarbonate resin (2) may be provided with a hole (4) into which the chemiluminescent body (7) can be mounted.

[0013]

[Function] The following is a basic design for giving the polycarbonate resin fluorescent properties (light-collecting properties). (A) The light collecting surface (5) is made as large and smooth as possible. (B) An edge is formed on the light condensing surface (5) at the portion where light emission is desired. (C) The light collecting surface (5) is made large or the light emitting surface (6) is made small. (D) Do not make edges at corners that you do not want to emit light. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the light (10) entering the polycarbonate resin (2) from the light collecting surface (5) is a light emitting surface (6) whose area ratio is much smaller than that of the light collecting surface (5). Since it is condensed and goes out, the light emitting surface (6) looks bright as if it is emitting light. In FIG. 2, the arrow indicates the incident light, and the large arrow indicates the light emitting state (11).

【Example】

 Generally, when the fishing float is used normally, it is recognized that the upper part of the float is mainly the visible part, and there is no indication of the visible part in the float itself or in the manual. .

The visual recognition portion referred to in the present invention is basically the upper part of the float, but depending on the condition of the fishing ground, the float may be looked down on from the top, or may be viewed almost horizontally. In addition, there are cases in which fishing is carried out far away, and in consideration of the fact that many types of floats are emerging depending on the situation and fishing method, it is not just that the upper part of the float is the visible part. If it looks bright as if it is emitting light even near the middle of the float, that place is also worth the visual recognition.

Therefore, in the present invention, a polycarbonate resin having a fluorescent property (light condensing property) is provided as a material for the visual recognition portion.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a plate of a polycarbonate resin (2) having a substantially semi-circular fluorescent characteristic (light condensing property) is provided on the upper part of the main body (1). Plural pieces are provided diagonally.

In the above-mentioned configuration, when using this, as in the conventional float, the road thread (13) is provided with the float stop member (8), the shimori (9) is passed through, and it is tied to the connector (16). In some cases, an underwater float (12) may be provided.

The method using the embodiment described below with reference to the drawings is the same as the conventional method.

FIG. 3 shows a float or an underwater float made of a polycarbonate resin (2) having a fluorescent property (light-collecting property) in which the visual recognition part (3) is provided in a substantially columnar shape.

FIG. 4 is a long-distance float for the polycarbonate (2) whose blades (14) of the visual recognition part (3) have a fluorescent property (light-collecting property) and which is mainly used for basket-mounting. .

FIG. 5 shows a large float having a visible portion (3) provided with blades (15) of a polycarbonate resin (2) having a fluorescent property (light condensing property).

The hole (4) provided in FIGS. 1 and 3 is for mounting the chemiluminescent body (7).

[0024]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Since the polycarbonate resin having a fluorescent property (light-collecting property) is provided on the float body, the visibility becomes extremely high, and it is possible to expect about 50% increase of the conventional float. For example, if a conventional float becomes difficult to see at a distance of 10 meters, a float of the same size and shape will be visible enough at a distance of 15 meters.

In particular, since it looks like it is brightly shining in the retrograde state, it is much easier to see than the conventional backlit ball and backlit float.

When the float is submerged in the water or even in the underwater float, the visibility can be sufficiently exerted in the range where the light reaches, so that the movement in the water is clearer than that of the conventional float or underwater float. I can confirm.

The use of polycarbonate resins in fishing floats will lead to new fields of demand for polycarbonate resins.

Since both the float body and the carbonate resin can be molded with a mold, mass production is easily possible, and a low-priced product can be provided.

In night fishing, since the light of the attached chemiluminescent body is condensed and emitted from the light emitting surface, the chemiluminescent body and the float appear to shine at the same cost as before, and the visibility is surely improved. become.
