Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing float structure which has a long flight distance, a low landing sound, and is easy to catch fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A float is a member that serves as a mark when it is provided in the middle of a fishing line, and there are various kinds according to the type of target fish, the fishing method, or the angler's preference. But in any case, the important purpose of the normal float is
It is to be able to accurately take the fish.
For this reason, various measures such as improving the visibility, reducing the influence of the wind, and emitting light to enable floating fishing at night are made.

Further, the float also serves to fly the entire fishing tackle farther by using its weight. A so-called "flying float" that is separate from the float for catching fish is a remarkable example, but if it is not such a special one, it is a far point if you can fly the floating mechanism far Since it is possible to throw in a device, there are various floats that are conscious of flight distance.

[0004]

However, the "easiness of catching fish" and the "flying distance" are characteristics that are obtained based on the properties that are generally contradictory to each other. However, it often suffers, and the float that gives the flight distance tends to be insensitive, and it is often difficult to get fish and fish. Therefore, depending on the fishing method and target fish, for example, when it is important to react sensitively even to small fish, it is necessary to use a float that cannot be expected regarding the flight distance.

From such a background, the appearance of a float that is strong against a headwind, can accurately fly a device to a far point, and is easy to catch a fish meal has been awaited.

[0006]

Therefore, the present inventor has finally accomplished the present invention as a result of earnest research in view of the above points, and is characterized by a rod-shaped head portion, an eggplant-shaped main body portion, and a rod-shaped head portion. The rod-shaped head and the surface of the eggplant-shaped main body are continuous with a concave curved surface, and the main body below the concave convex portion is entirely convex. And there is an inflection portion of a concave bay and a convex bay above the maximum width portion of the main body portion, and the lower end side of the eggplant-shaped main body portion has a substantially spherical shape and is continuous with this lower end portion. At the lower end of the leg, a buoyancy adjusting weight and a can metal fitting for hooking on the fishing line are installed.

Here, the "rod-shaped head" is a portion that serves as a "mark" which is the first purpose of floating, and it is desirable that it is visible from the water surface after being put into a point and has good visibility. It is a part. Usually, it is colored with fluorescent paint or the like.

The "egg-shaped main body" is a portion for imparting buoyancy to the floating main body, and is similar to an elliptical or elliptical rotating body, but bulges downward (radius of curvature) rather than upward. It is a large so-called "Eggplant" type member. The surface of the rod-shaped head and the surface of this eggplant-shaped main body are continuous with a concave curved surface. By making it concave, the float thrown into the water will sink without blurring while keeping the throwing angle, and will float without making unnecessary movements. It is a fact that the present inventor found out by experiments in which a large number of prototypes were made and they were actually put in water that the floating had such a behavior when it was recessed, and was theoretically derived. Although this is not the result, when the float moves through the water at a considerable speed, the water (seawater) near the float surface makes a dislocation at this recessed bay, and when the float tries to shake, a force tends to recover that shake. I imagine it's because I work.

Further, the shape of the eggplant-shaped main body on the lower end side is close to a sphere. Contrary to that of the present invention, the normal float has a shape that is sharp on the lower end side, and in terms of the shape of "Eggplant", the one closer to the spherical surface is upward, and the thinner one is downward. There are many things that become. Various trials and experiments have been carried out on this as well, but in the case of the shape of the present invention, the sound of water landing becomes extremely small. Imagine the reason for that, when the float hits the surface of the water, and when the float enters the water and removes the water in that part, it sinks further deeply and there is a void above the float, so there is It occurs when the water that flows into the water hits each other. In the case of a conventional type of float where the lower part becomes thinner gradually, it does not generate a loud noise when hitting the surface of the water, but since it enters like a wedge, the speed does not drop so much and the water hits when hitting each other. The amount of Therefore, the result is a loud sound. The sound of landing
The effect on fishing depends on the depth of the swimming layer of the target fish and the level of alertness to the sound of the target fish itself, but small fish called bait catchers have the property of gathering in the direction of the sound. As a result, during times when there is a lot of food, small fish gather around the float and the bait does not reach the depth of the target fish, which makes fishing difficult. Even in such a case, the float of the present invention is effective.

The "rod-shaped leg portion" is a rod-shaped member which is continuous with the lower end position of the eggplant-shaped main body portion, and a buoyancy adjusting weight and a can metal fitting are attached to the lower end. The "buoyancy adjusting weight" is attached for the purpose of erecting the floating body and increasing the fisheye sensitivity, and may have a conventional structure rather than a new member. Further, the "can metal fitting" which is a member for passing the floating thread through and suspending the main body on the fishing line may have the conventional structure.

Further, since the rod upper leg portion is thin, there may be a problem in strength depending on the material used. Therefore, the whole body has a tube-like structure, and a metal wire is provided in the hole of the "reinforcing core". You may make it insert "gold." In that case, since the most fragile position is the connecting portion between the rod-shaped leg portion and the eggplant-shaped main body portion, it is preferable that the reinforcing core metal partly enters the eggplant-shaped main body portion.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a fishing float 1 according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the float 1 of the present invention"). As is clear from the figure, the float 1 of the present invention comprises a rod-shaped head 2, It is a kind of bar float with a large bulge in the central part, which is composed of the eggplant-shaped main body 3 and the bar-shaped legs 4. In the float of this embodiment, a rod-shaped head 2, an eggplant-shaped main body 3, and a rod-shaped leg 4 were obtained by cutting one piece of wood. There is no problem in terms of function even if manufactured.

The rod-shaped head portion 2 is rod-shaped and the eggplant-shaped main body portion 3 is elliptic spherical, but the connecting portions thereof are gently curved to form a concave bay portion 5. Also, convex bay part 3
The position of the shoulder 32, which is the boundary between 1 and this concave bay portion 5,
It is located above the portion of the eggplant-shaped main body 3 having the largest diameter. That is, when the float 1 of the present invention drops and hits the surface of the water and is submerged in water, the thickest part (that is, near the bottom of the eggplant-shaped main body 3) is gradually thinned after pushing away the water,
The volume of the cavity is smaller and the sound of water landing is smaller than that of the sharply thin one. Regarding this point, the present inventor compared the float 1 of the present invention with the landing sound by using the floats A and B having the shapes shown in FIG. 2, but the difference was clear.

In the case of the float 1 of the present invention, since the weight is located at the lower end, when it is dropped into the water, the weight part immerses in such a manner that the weight part becomes the lowermost end, but in the conventional floats it is straight. It didn't sink and was shaken immediately. However, in the case of the float 1 of the present invention, such a situation does not occur at all.
Although the reason for this is not clear, three types of floats C, D, and E having different shapes only in the recessed bay portion 5 were made as prototypes (FIG. 3), and a blur test was carried out with them, and the float 1 of the present invention was obtained. Similarly, it was found that the case where the location was concave (floating of C) was hardly blurred, and the other (floating of D and E) was blurred and difficult to handle. When imagining the reason, in the case of a C-shaped float, since it has the recessed bay portion 5, a vortex S is generated when traveling in water. The size of the vortex S is uniform when it goes straight, but if the float floats to the left or right, it may change in size and generate a force that returns the float to a straight state. Imagine that

The rod-shaped leg portion 4 has a buoyancy adjusting weight 41 and a can metal fitting 42 at its lower end side position. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the commercially available sulcan is fitted to the inverted conical weight, but it may be integrally manufactured. The can of the can metal fitting 42 is preferably rotatable.

FIG. 4 schematically shows a cross section of an example of the float 1 of the present invention. In this example, the rod-shaped leg portion 4 is formed in a tube shape, and a reinforcing core metal 43 is provided in the hole. It is fitted. The reinforcing core metal 43 penetrates into not only the rod-shaped leg portion 4 but also a part of the eggplant-shaped main body portion 3.
The strength against bending is improved.

[0018]

As described in detail above, the fishing float according to the present invention is a float composed of a rod-shaped head portion, an eggplant-shaped main body portion, and a rod-shaped leg portion, and the rod-shaped head portion and the eggplant-shaped portion. The surface of the main body is continuous with a concave curved surface, all the main body below the concave bay is convex, and the convexity is higher than the maximum width portion of the main body. There is an inflection part of the bay, and the lower end side of the eggplant-shaped main body is almost spherical, and the buoyancy adjusting weight and the fishing line are hooked at the lower end position of the leg that is continuous with this lower end. The present invention is characterized in that a can metal fitting for doing so is attached, and is an extremely advanced invention having various effects as described below.

Since the diameter of the bottom of the eggplant-shaped main body is larger than the diameter of the shoulder of the float, the float does not sink deep into the water, and the sound of landing water becomes small. Since the thick portion is consciously provided, it is heavier than the conventional rod-shaped float, so it has a long flight distance and can be accurately thrown into a distant point. Since the curved shape above the shoulder of the eggplant-shaped body is concave, it sinks straight into the water, so the device does not get entangled and it floats at the point of landing.
