JPH0994043A - Member for lure - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a member for lures having an exposed part which is brought into contact with the outer face of a lure, is readily attached and is simply prevented from falling off. SOLUTION: This member is composed of an exposed part which has an outward convex surface 2A and a face 2B being in contact with the outer face of a lure 10 and a plug 3 which integrally projects from the contact face and is positioned inside the lure 10. The plug 3 has a neck 3A of a smaller diameter than that of the contact face, a stopper 3B expanding toward the radial direction of the neck 3A and a guiding inclination part 3C projecting from the stopper 3B, as it narrows toward the direction opposing to the convex direction of the convex surface 2A of the exposed part. The stopper 3B and the guide inclination part 3C are preferably formed in a cone shape.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member used for a pseudo bait for fishing, and more particularly to a member suitable for being attached as an eyeball to a pseudo bait that resembles the shape of a fish or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a simulated bait that resembles the shape of a fish is well known. Further, an eyeball member used for this simulated bait is also known. For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-50574 discloses an eyeball member including a hemispherical eye portion and a cylindrical shaft portion extending from the inner surface thereof.

[0003]

The eyeball member of the above-mentioned known example is attached by inserting its shaft portion into the main body attachment hole of the dummy bait. In order to prevent the ocular member from falling off, the shaft portion may be pressed into the hole or the shaft portion may be bonded to the peripheral surface of the hole. However, press-fitting the shaft portion requires strict dimensional control of the shaft diameter and the hole diameter. Further, the bonding of the shaft portion is complicated in its work, and the eyeball portion requiring gloss may be soiled with the adhesive.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to make it possible to surely engage a member for a simulated bait body such as an eyeball member by simply press-fitting it into a mounting hole of the body.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that it has an outer convex curved surface and an inner contact surface, and the contact surface is brought into contact with the outer surface of the dummy bait. The exposed portion and the insertion portion that integrally projects from the contact surface and is located inside the bait, and the insertion portion has a neck portion having a diameter smaller than that of the contact surface and a radial direction of the neck portion. There is provided a pseudo bait member having a locking portion to be extended and a guide sloped portion which is narrowed and protrudes from the locking portion in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the exposed curved surface of the exposed portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Details of an eyeball member as an example of the member for simulated bait according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An eyeball member 1 shown in a side view in FIG. 1 is molded from a light-transmissive hard plastic, and mainly
It is attached to a dummy bait body molded from a flexible elastic material. The member 1 includes an exposed portion 2 having a hemispherical outer convex curved surface 2A and a flat inner contact surface 2B, and an insertion portion 3 integrally protruding from the central portion of the contact surface 2B.
The insertion portion 3 protrudes from the contact surface 2B and has a rod-shaped neck portion 3A having a smaller diameter than the contact surface 2B and having a circular cross-section. The insertion portion 3 protrudes in the radial direction of the protruding end of the neck portion 3A and faces the contact surface 2B and is larger than the neck portion 3A. Diameter circular locking portion 3B and convex curved surface 2A from the locking portion 3B
3C, which has a conical guide sloped portion 3C that narrows and protrudes in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of.

2 and 3 are a side view of the simulated fish bait 10 and an end view taken along line III-III thereof. The dummy bait 10 includes a main body 11 molded from a flexible elastic material such as silicon rubber.
And the eyeball member 1. As shown in FIG. 3, there are mounting holes 12 on both left and right sides of the main body 11, and the member 1 is press-fitted therein. As is apparent from this press-fit state, the contact surface 2B is formed larger than the diameter of the hole 12 and presses against the outer surface of the dummy bait 10 to perform a flange function, and the locking portion 3B is larger than the diameter of the hole 12. Largely formed. When the member 1 is inserted into the hole 12 with the conical guide inclined portion 3C in front, the peripheral edge of the locking portion 3B digs into the peripheral surface of the hole 12 to exert an effect of preventing the member 1 from falling off (see FIG. 3). . To further secure this effect, although not shown, at least a part of the peripheral edge of the locking portion 3B may be formed in a sawtooth shape. In FIG. 3, in order to clearly show the hole 12, the member 1 is press-fitted into only one of the left and right holes 12.

The guide inclined portion 3C including the engaging portion 3B of the eyeball member 1 can be replaced with a conical shape to have a flat barbed shape. In that case, the length of the bottom of the barbed may be made larger than the diameter of the neck 3. The barbed guide portion 3C has a smaller contact area with the peripheral surface of the hole 12 when it is inserted into the hole 12 as compared with the case of the conical shape, and therefore has less resistance and is easy to insert. Since the corners of the bottom of the digging bite sharply into the peripheral surface of the hole 12, it exhibits an excellent effect of preventing falling.

In the present invention, the member 1 is described as an eyeball. However, since the member 1 makes the simulated bait stand out by shining it, its use is as an eyeball. Not exclusively. For example, it can be attached to an appropriate site on a variety of flexible dummy baits to highlight it, such as a worm for lure fishing. Also,
The member 1 can also be used for a hard dummy bait made of wood or metal. However, in that case, it is necessary to narrow the allowable error range of the diameter of the mounting hole 12 as compared with a soft dummy bait so that the member 1 can be press-fitted.

[0011]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Since the artificial bait member according to the present invention is formed with the insertion portion having the engaging portion projecting in the radial direction from the neck through the neck, the artificial bait member is provided with the artificial bait. When the fitting portion is press-fitted into the mounting hole of the main body, the locking portion bites into the peripheral surface of the hole to easily prevent the member from falling off. Also,
Since the insertion portion has the tapered guide inclined portion, insertion into the mounting hole is easy.
