Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an adapter for mounting a lure skirt (trolling skirt), and more particularly, to a lure head (cobra) used as a lure for lure fishing such as trolling.
The present invention relates to an adapter that is used as an auxiliary when attaching a skirt such as tachobait or squid bait.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a lure skirt (30) covers a tail portion 4 of a lure head 1 and connects the skirt 30 to the head 1, and an annular tail cover portion 31; It is mainly made of rubber or vinyl, and is made of rubber or vinyl. The streamer section 32 is made of rubber and vinyl. (Not shown)) from the target fish.

Further, the outer diameter of the tail portion 4 increases rearward so that the skirt 30 does not come off the lure head 1 during use, and the tail portion 4 has a double tail (FIG. 3).
Etc.), as well as a single tail (see Fig. 5)
On the other hand, the skirt 30 is selected such that the inner diameter of the opening of the tail covering portion 31 when it is not mounted is much smaller than the outermost diameter of the tail portion 4, whereby the skirt 30 has an elasticity with respect to the tail portion 4 when it is mounted. The tightening force has been improved to strengthen the connection.

Therefore, when attaching the skirt 30 to the lure head 1, it is not easy to widen the opening of the tail covering portion 31 to which a strong tightening force is applied by a finger. From tail part 4
It is difficult to mount the skirt 30 directly on the head 1, so that the skirt 30 is first turned upside down and the skirt 30 is put on the front of the head 1 with the tail covering portion 31 at the top, and then the tail covering portion 31 is After the inner diameter of the covering portion 31 is expanded by sliding it from the front of the head 1 to the side portion 3 using soapy water or the like, the tail covering portion 31 is formed into a tail portion 4 which is stepwise reduced in diameter behind the head 1. The tail portion 4 was dropped, and the tail portion 4 was tightened. Thereafter, the streamer portion 32 was mounted so as to be inverted from the front side of the head 1 to the rear side of the head 2 so as to return the skirt 30 turned upside down.

[0005]

However, even when the skirt 30 is mounted from the front of the lure head 1, the mounting of the skirt 30 is not easy.
At times, the tail cover 31 may be torn or torn during mounting. In particular, in the case of a lure head 1 'having a larger tip diameter as compared to the rear as shown in FIG. 4 or a cylindrical head 1 "as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 3, in the case of the luer head 1 whose tip is cut obliquely, when the tail covering portion 31 is passed through the head side portion 3 when the skirt is attached, the tail covering portion 31 is located on the lower side 3 ″ side ( (See FIG. 2). The upper side of the side portion 3 ′ advances backward more quickly than in the case of FIG. 2), so that the opening of the tail covering portion 31 expands diagonally, and the tail covering portion 31 often tears.

A group tail having a relatively small outer diameter and capable of directly attaching the skirt from behind the head is also known. In this case, however, it is necessary to fix the skirt with a tape or the like. Is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an adapter for mounting a lure skirt that can facilitate the operation of mounting a skirt on a lure head. It is in.

[0008]

The luer skirt mounting adapter according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the present adapter" in this section) is used as an auxiliary when the skirt is mounted on the tail part of the lure head. An adapter, comprising an adapter main body having a fixed shape in the shape of a conical cup that gradually decreases in diameter toward the front, and being capable of being fixedly connected by covering the adapter main body from the front of the lure head to the lure head. Features.

The method of using the present adapter is the same as the conventional skirt mounting process from the front of the head after the adapter body is coaxially placed over the luer head from the front of the luer head and the adapter body is connected to the luer head. Is performed from above the adapter body. At this time, since the adapter body is in the shape of a conical cup whose diameter gradually decreases forward, the opening of the tail covering part of the skirt is passed through the top of the adapter body, and the inner diameter of the tail covering part is gradually and obliquely set by the side of the adapter body. The tail covering can be transferred to the side of the lure head or directly to the tail, with even enlargement without becoming. Therefore,
Regardless of the shape of the front of the lure head, this adapter facilitates the mounting of the skirt.

In the present invention, "having a fixed form"
The meaning of "adaptation" is that the adapter main body has such a strength that the adapter main body is not deformed by the tightening force of the tail covering portion, and specific examples of the material of the adapter main body include hard plastics and metals.

Also, when the adapter body is connected to the luer head, it is most preferable that no gap or step is formed at the boundary between the rear end of the adapter body and the side of the luer head. The circular opening defined by the rear end may have the same diameter as a part of the side of the lure head, or at least the rear end of the adapter body may be thinned.

Depending on the shape and the like of the lure head, the adapter body can be connected so as to cover the luer head except for the tail part (see FIG. 4). In this case, the outer circumference of the rear part of the head and the inner diameter of the rear end of the adapter body are determined. There may be a slight gap between them.

By preparing a plurality of types of adapter bodies having different diameters such as open portions as described above, it is possible to cope with lure heads having various diameters and shapes.

The present adapter may further include a core rod extending coaxially to the adapter body from the top of the adapter body to the rear and insertable into a hole for inserting a leader line of a luer head.

By inserting the core rod into the leader line insertion hole of the luer head, the connection between the adapter body and the luer head can be made more reliable and stable. The connection between the adapter body and the lure head may be performed only by the core rod (see FIG. 5).

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view schematically showing a state in which an adapter 10 according to the present invention is connected to a lure head 1. The adapter 10 includes a conical cup-shaped adapter main body 11 and a core rod 20 extending coaxially with the main body 11 backward from a top portion 12 of the adapter main body 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the lure head 1 shown in FIG. 2 has a substantially shell-shaped front part 2 whose tip is obliquely cut, a side part 3 whose outer diameter increases rearward, and a stepped shape (double tail). )
Tail part 4 and the side part 3 of the one along the axis of the tail part 4
And a hole 5 for inserting a leader line which is deviated from the center.

The adapter body 11 is made of hard plastic and has a fixed shape. The side portion 13 becomes thinner toward the rear end portion 14 and the outer diameter of the side portion 13 increases rearward. The lure head 1 is designed so that it becomes constant near the rear end portion 14 and the diameter of the opening defined by the rear end portion 14 coincides with a part of the side portion 3 of the lure head 1. The adapter body 11 is firmly fixed by putting it on the lure head 1 so that the rear end portion 14 is located rearward as much as possible.

The core rod 20 is mainly made of brass, and can be freely attached to and detached from the adapter body 11 through a front end 21 that can be screwed into a screw hole 12 ′ provided on the top 12 of the adapter body 11. Become. Also, the rear half 22 of the core rod 20
Is inserted into the hole 5.

The adapter 10 configured as described above
Can be fixedly connected to the head 1 by capping the head 1 from the front of the lure head 1 without the core rod 20, but this connection is made more secure by passing the core rod 20 through the hole 5. Is stable.

By performing the conventional skirt mounting process from this state, the skirt 30 can be easily formed (see FIG. 3).
Can be attached to the tail portion 4. That is, first, the skirt 30 is turned over, and the skirt 30 is passed through the top part 12 of the adapter body 11 and the front end part 21 of the mandrel 20 with the opening of the tail covering part 31 at the top. 11 is slid rearward on the side portion 13 of the lure head 1 by using soapy water or the like to expand the inner diameter of the covering portion 31.
Then, the tail covering portion 31 is dropped onto the tail portion 4 and the tail portion 4 is tightened, and then the streamer portion 32 is reversed from the front of the head to the rear of the head so that the skirt 30 is turned upside down. . In addition, skirt 3
The reversal of 0 may be on the side portion 3 before the tail covering portion 31 is dropped on the tail portion 4. Then adapter 1
By removing the 0 from the lure head 1, the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

In the above lure head 1, the upper side 3 '
The inclination ratio or the distance (radius) of the tail portion 4 with respect to the central axis (hole 5) of the tail portion 4 differs from that of the side lower portion 3 ", but can be corrected by attaching the adapter 10 (see FIG. 1), thereby mounting. Sometimes tail cover 31
Opening does not become oblique, and the elastic spreading force acts on the entire opening of the covering portion 31 on average, so that the probability of the covering portion 31 being broken is reduced as compared with the case where the covering portion 31 spreads obliquely. I do.

Another example of the mode of connecting the adapter to the lure head is shown schematically in FIGS. 4 and 5. In FIG. 4, the adapter body 11 '
The rear end 14 'reaches the rear end of the luer head 1', and the adapter body 11 'is connected so as to cover the head 1' except for the tail part 4 '.
The connection between the lure head 1 "and the lure head 1" is made only by inserting the core rod 20 "into the hole 5".
The outer diameter of the rear end of 1 "is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the front end of the head 1".

[0024]

As described above, in the luer skirt mounting adapter according to the present invention, the opening of the tail covering portion of the skirt, which is difficult to expand, is gradually and evenly expanded by the conical cup-shaped adapter body. Since the skirt can be transferred to the lure head, the skirt mounting operation, which has conventionally been very troublesome, can be facilitated.
