Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stopper for fixing a tackle element of a relatively small size such as a weight or a float used for fishing to a fishing line to fix the fishing line at a required position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as the tackle element, there is a through hole for inserting a fishing line (hereinafter referred to as a line),
Use it in a state that it can move freely along the inserted line, or insert a thin round bar such as a toothpick into the mouth of the through hole through which the line is inserted as a stopper, and place the line on the wall of the through hole. It is known that the tackle element is fixed at a desired position by pressure contact.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, a tackle element, for example, a stopper such as a toothpick used for fixing a weight to a line, has an opposite end when the one end is pressed into the insertion hole. The end of the must extend out of the weight long enough to hold it. By doing so, it becomes possible to remove the stopper for changing the position of the weight or exchanging the weight. However, since the line extends from the end of the weight together with the stopper and runs in parallel, the line is likely to be entangled with the extended portion of the stopper. If the line is entangled, the detailed action of the rod will not be accurately transmitted to the worm, and it will be difficult to control the worm at will. Further, the line is in pressure contact with the wall surface of the insertion hole and is not located on the center line of the weight. In other words, the weight is eccentric with respect to the line, which also causes a problem that the rod action is difficult to be transmitted to the worm. In addition, since the toothpick is thin and difficult to grasp, it is difficult to insert and remove it from the hole.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems at once by providing a large-diameter gripping portion having a groove portion for line guide at the rear end of a stopper which is used by being pressed into a line insertion hole of a weight. It is an issue.

[0005]

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

According to the present invention, a large-diameter gripping portion that can be gripped with a fingertip and a tackle element that extends from approximately the center of one end surface of the gripping portion and has a fishing line insertion hole can be inserted into the insertion hole. A small-diameter shaft portion is integrally formed, and the holding portion penetrates from the one end surface to the other end surface of the holding portion from which the shaft portion extends, and from the outer peripheral surface to the radial center thereof. It is characterized in that a fishing line guide groove portion that becomes deeper toward the bottom is provided, and at least the other end surface of the grip portion and the bottom surface of the groove portion in the vicinity thereof are located substantially in the radial center portion of the grip portion. .

[0007]

In the tackle element stopper thus constructed, when a line extending from one opening of the insertion hole of the element is guided to the groove portion of the gripping portion of the stopper located outside the opening, the line is formed. Can be extended from the end surface of the holding portion.
The line is in a state of being fixed to the stopper until it comes out of the insertion hole and reaches the end surface of the grip portion, and is not entangled with the stopper. The grip portion has a larger diameter than the shaft portion and is easy to grip. Further, the extension position of the line on the end face of the grip portion can be set on the center line of the element.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention,
The side wall of the V-shaped groove can be used to prevent the line guided to the groove from coming off the groove.

[0009]

The details of the tackle element for fishing according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a weight as an example.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a stopper 1 used for lure fishing. In the figure, a plastic worm 2 which is a lure is pierced with a tip portion of a hook 4 to which one end of a line 3 is tied. The other end of the line 3 extends through a line insertion hole 6 of a bell-shaped weight 5 to a rod (not shown). At one end of the weight 5 near the worm 2, there is a stopper 1 for fixing the weight 5 to the line 3, and the stopper 1 has a groove 11 for guiding the line 3.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. The II-II line extends in the longitudinal direction of the weight 5 and divides the weight 5 into two parts, and also divides the stopper 1 in the widthwise center of the groove portion 11. The weight 5 has a line insertion hole 6 having a circular cross section along an axis (not shown), and a spherical recess 13 at one end of the insertion hole 6 near the worm 2. The stopper 1 has a cylindrical shaft portion 16 having a sharp end 15 and a bell-shaped grip portion 17 connected to the rear end of the shaft portion 16. The grip portion 17 has a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion 16, the groove portion 11 extends from the connection portion with the shaft portion 16 to the rear end surface 18, and a bottom surface 20 of the groove portion 11 is provided.
The front portion is connected to the peripheral surface of the shaft portion 16, the rear portion is inclined downward to the right, and the rear end surface 18 is near the axis of the weight 5. The shaft portion 16 is pressed into the insertion hole 6 through which the line 3 is inserted, presses the line 3 against the wall of the insertion hole 6, and consequently fixes the weight 5 to the line 3. The portion where the line 3 extends from the insertion hole 6 to the recess 13 is the groove portion 1.
1 is guided along the bottom surface 20 and the rear end surface 18 of the grip portion 17
Through almost the center of the worm toward the worm 2. The side wall 11A of the groove portion 11 has a projection 22 extending toward the opposite side wall 11B (see FIGS. 3 and 4 to be described later) so that the line 3 does not come off from the groove 11. Further, on the peripheral surface of the grip portion 17, there is a locking groove 23 extending in the circumferential direction so that a fingertip or a nail can be hooked.

3 and 4 are a perspective view of the stopper 1 and a front view of the rear end face 18. The rear end surface 18 has a circular shape, and the groove portion 1
The left and right side walls 11A, 11B of the No. 1 are V-shaped and extend from the peripheral edge 25 of the rear end face 18 toward the center, and the bottom surface 20 of the groove portion 11 draws a concave curved surface substantially equal to the outline of the line 3. On each of the side walls 11A and 11B, protrusions 22 and 2 for preventing disengagement extending alternately toward the opposite side walls.
There is 6.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing an example of a procedure for using the stopper 1. In this figure, since the line 3 has already been guided to the groove 11 of the stopper 1, the weight 5 is held by the left hand, and the grip portion 17 of the stopper 1 is held by the right hand. Just press into. Finally, when the line 3 is slightly pulled to the right while holding the weight 5, the slack of the line 3 along the stopper 1 is removed and the state shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. When the stopper 1 is used in this way, the line 3 becomes a sharp end 1 of the stopper 1.
The portion from the vicinity of 5 to the rear end face 18 is almost fixed, and the portion extending from the weight 5 does not get caught in the stopper 1. As another usage procedure, the stopper 1 may be first press-fitted and then the line 3 may be guided to the groove 11.

The diameter of the shaft portion 16 of the stopper 1 is made slightly larger than the difference between the diameter of the insertion hole 6 and the diameter of the line 3 so that the shaft can be securely press-fitted. The length of the shaft portion 16 is
It is preferable that the line 3 can be press-contacted within a range of 1/4 to 4/5 of the entire length of the insertion hole 6. However, if the shaft portion 16 is tapered over its entire length, it is possible to deal with the insertion holes having various hole diameters with the single stopper 1. Therefore, when the shaft portion 16 is such a case, The line 3 may be pressed into contact with the length of ¼ or less of the total length. The stopper 1 according to the present invention can be made by injection molding of thermoplastic, for example.

[0015]

In the stopper according to the present invention, the line inserted into the tackle element can be extended from the center of the rear end face of the stopper, so that the line is not entangled with the stopper unlike the prior art. Moreover, when the tackle element is a weight, the lure attached to the line can be positioned on the center line of the weight, so that the rod action can be accurately transmitted to the lure. Since the groove of the stopper for guiding the line is V-shaped and the projection is provided on the side wall thereof, it is easy to guide the line and is hard to come off. The stopper has a gripping portion having a diameter larger than that of the shaft, so that the stopper is easy to grip and can be easily inserted into and removed from the insertion hole.
