Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain the lure comprising a hollow outer shell made from a metal, etc., and a foam for filling the inner cavity of the outer shell, not causing a disorder in the weight balance of the lure, improved in durability, and used for lure fishing. CONSTITUTION: This lure has at least at the front and rear parts eyelets 4, 6, 7 to which a fishing line extended from a reel and a hook can be attached, and comprises a substantially hollow outer shell 11 made from either of a metal and a synthetic resin, and a closed cell foam used for filling the inner cavity of the outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 is preferably made by joining two divided members 2, 3 formed in the longitudinal, lateral or vertical direction to each other, and the foam is preferably obtained from a synthetic resin.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure used for lure fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a luer has a plug, a jig, and a sprue.
It is well known that there are various types such as spinner, spinner and bait. Among them, many plugs and jigs are made of wood or synthetic resin to resemble the shape of an actual fish. If it is wood, it can be made by cutting it out, and if it is synthetic resin, it can be easily made hollow and lightweight by using means such as injection molding. The lightweight lure is adjusted to the required weight by appropriate means and supplied to the consumer.

[0003]

By the way, wooden plugs and jigs may be rubbed with sharp tips of hooks attached to them during repeated use, or they may hit rocks during casting. Since it is easily scratched and the surface is scratched, it has poor durability.

[0004] In many cases, hollow plugs and jigs made of synthetic resin are joined together by dividing or dividing the front and back of the plugs by bonding or welding. With such a product, there is a problem that after repeated use, peeling or cracking occurs in the joined parts little by little, water enters from there and upsets the weight balance of plugs and jigs. . In addition, such delamination and cracking impairs the durability of those lures.

Therefore, the present invention has an object to solve the above problems by filling a hollow outer shell forming a lure with a foam.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides means for solving the above problems as follows.

The present invention is premised on a lure having eyelets at least at the front end and the rear end, to which lines and hooks extending from the reel can be attached. Under such a premise, it is a feature of the present invention that the luer is composed of a substantially hollow outer shell made of either a metal or a synthetic resin and a foam filling the inside of the outer shell.

In one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the outer shell is formed by joining divided bodies which divide the front and rear, the left and right, and the vertical direction to each other, and the foam is made of a synthetic resin. In another embodiment of the present invention, the luer is either a plug or a jig. Furthermore, the foam is composed of closed cells.

[0009]

In the lure thus constructed, the hollow outer shell is divided into two parts, so that the divided body can be easily formed by a conventional technique such as metal drawing or synthetic resin injection molding. . The lure is made by connecting these divided bodies using adhesive technology or welding technology, and filling the inside with foam.The foam supports the outer shell from the inside, so it easily dents or peels off at the joined parts. Will not occur. Further, even if peeling occurs, water does not enter because the foam fills the inside.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the lure according to the present invention will be described below by taking a plug as an example.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the plug 1. The plug 1 is composed of a front outer shell 2 and a rear outer shell 3 which are bounded by a joining line 1A extending in the body circumferential direction, and the outer shells 2 and 3 are inseparable from each other. At the front end of the front outer shell 2, there is an eyelet 4 for attaching a line extending from the reel, and an eyeball portion 5 slightly rearward of the eyelet 4.
There is. Eyelets 6 and 7 for attaching hooks are provided at the rear end of the rear outer shell 3 and the lower part around the waist.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the internal structure of the plug 1 of FIG. The rear outer shell 3 has a reduced diameter portion 10A at a front end portion 10 thereof, and the front outer shell 2 is fitted therein from the outside. The outer shells 2 and 3 are watertightly joined to each other in the reduced diameter portion 10A to form a hollow body 11. Each eyelet 4,
6 and 7 are mounting shaft portions 12, 13, 14 in which a thread is carved.
Is inserted into the through holes 15, 16A, 16B of the respective outer shells 2, 3 and is screwed with the inner nuts 17, 18, 19 to be fixed to the outer shells 2, 3 so as not to be removed. . The hollow body 11 is filled with foamed urethane resin 21. The resin 21 is filled with the injection hole 2 that is closed by the sealing plug 22 in the drawing.
It was prepared by injecting the stock solution from No. 3 and then foaming and curing it so that the required magnification was obtained. The resin 21 exerts an adhesive force in the course of curing, and is in a state of being fixed to the inner surfaces of the outer shells 2 and 3, the shaft portions 12, 13, 14 of the eyelets, and the nuts 17, 18, 19. As a result, the front and rear outer shells 2 and 3 which are integrated by joining at the reduced diameter portion 10 have the resin 21
Also, they are held together and do not easily separate from each other. Further, the outer shells 2 and 3 are not easily dented even if a force is applied from the outside. Furthermore, the nuts 17, 18, and 19 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the outer shells 2 and 3, so that the eyelets 4, 6, and 7 can be prevented from slipping out and idling.

Eyelets 4, 6, 7 and nuts 17, 1
The numerals 8 and 19 also have the purpose of adjusting the weight of the plug 1 and the weight balance. Therefore, the eyelets 4, 6, 7 and the nuts 17, 18, 19 may have a required weight depending on the purpose. By the way,
The abdominal eyelet 7 can be provided at a required position in the front-rear direction. In such a plug 1, front and rear outer shells 2,
3 can be obtained by drawing a thin metal plate such as aluminum or brass, or by injection molding a thermoplastic synthetic resin. In order to join the outer shells 2 and 3 at the fitting portion, an ultrasonic welding technique can be used in addition to using an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive as long as it is a synthetic resin. The foam 21 can be variously changed in weight by changing the specific gravity of the stock solution. In addition, this foam 2
If 1 is composed of closed cells, it is possible to almost completely prevent water from entering the foam 21. In the present invention, the hollow body 1 is replaced with the outer shells 2 and 3 that divide the front-rear direction into two.
You may use the outer shell which divides the up-down direction of 1 and the width direction into two.

[0014]

The lure according to the present invention is such that the hollow body formed by the outer shell is filled with the foam so that the outer shell is unlikely to be dented and the outer shells joined to each other are not easily separated. Therefore, the durability of the lure is improved. Furthermore, since water does not enter even if peeling occurs at the joined portion, the weight balance of the lure is not disturbed, and the operability of the lure is stable. With this lure, the overall weight and weight balance can be adjusted relatively easily by the weight of the eyelet, the nut that fixes it, the specific gravity of the foam, and the like.
