JPH11346618A - Fishing float - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing float capable of distinctively informing of the bite of a fish by the change in color and shape. SOLUTION: This fishing float is composed of a pair of plates 1 made of a material floatable on water and horizontally openable (the solid line) and vertically closeable (the dotted line) by an opening mechanism 3. The upper face 5 of the plate is subjected to water-repelling treatment and colored to give high contrast with the lower face 2. The shaft of the opening mechanism 3 is pulled downward with a guide string 4 attached to the plates when a fishing line 9 is pulled downward by a fish. The color of the upper face is hidden and that of the lower face becomes visible by the closure of the plates (dotted line) when the fishing line is pulled by a fish. The sticking of the plates is prevented by the water-repelling treatment to quickly open the plates when the pull of the fish disappears. The change in the color and shape is easily observable even by a weak pulling to cause incomplete closure. The fishing of soft-striking fish can be enjoyed even by a beginner. The float enables the enjoyment of fishing even by a person of weak eyesight who can see the float only in a clouded state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a float for fishing which closes a slat by pulling and changes color and form greatly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Vivid colors are applied,
Unless all are drawn into the water, such as ball floating,
There is little change in visible color tone and no change in form. Floats need to float on water, so materials that float on water are used. In addition to natural materials such as wood and peacock feathers such as balsa, foamed resins such as styrofoam, etc., even if the specific gravity is 1 or less, even if the specific gravity is 1 or more, it is made to float in water by making it hollow. There are also materials. In addition, water resistant treatment is applied so that the specific gravity does not increase due to water seepage.

[0003]

For a person who has poor eyesight or a person who is not prepared with appropriate glasses, the conventional float can only look faint and the change of the float caused by eating fish is difficult to understand. If you are a big game and the float is drawn deeply,
Although it can be seen from the change in color due to tactile sensation and deep sinking, it is difficult to distinguish small pulls such as Hera crucian carp and small fish. Even if you catch a fish with a strong pull, if you do not match it at the beginning of the pull, you often miss it and you need a float with good visibility. Floats that produce clear visual changes without sinking deep into the water are desired.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Water-repellent treatment and a color contrasting with the lower surface are applied to the upper surface of a horizontally deployed wing plate, and the lower surface of the lower surface is closed by pulling downward by a fish. Make the colors visible.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. The opening and closing mechanism 3 enables the horizontal expansion (solid line) and vertical closing (dotted line) of the slat 1. You don't have to do it completely as shown in Figure 1. By closing, the color of the upper surface becomes difficult to see,
This is because the color of the lower surface, which was difficult to see, becomes easier to see. The upper surface 5 is given a color contrasting with the lower surface 2 and the side surface 6 and is water-repellent. It is open above the water surface when there is no fish pull and attaches a fishing line (Michiito) 4 to the opening / closing mechanism to be closed when there is a pull. Yarn may be sheet material (Fig. 2) (cloth, non-woven fabric, knit, paper, plastic sheet, leather, etc.) or yarn (Fig. 1).

When the downward pulling force of the weight or the like is large, the buoyancy increasing body 8 is attached (FIG. 1). When attached to the body of the float, the buoyancy-enhancing body 8 is designed so that the upper width is narrow and it projects downwards so that the distance between the two surfaces to be closed is not widened, so that the deployment force is large and the gap when closed is small. You. A buoyancy booster or part of it can be attached to the yarn (Fig. 3).

If the upper surface is hydrophilic, it will not close and open, so the upper surface is made to repel water (water repellency). To achieve water repellency, commercially available water repellent paints and water repellents can be used. Avoid hydrophilic and highly water-repellent paint on the sides and bottom.

The opening / closing mechanism includes a flexible sheet material (cloth,
Non-woven fabric, knitted fabric, paper, plastic sheet, leather, etc.), attach a floating material to water (either gluing, welding, or sewing), use hinges, or connect floating material to water with a ring, chain, rope, etc. Or, it can be achieved by crushing or melting materials floating in water such as foamed resin along a straight line.
For fish with weak pulling, a cloth is simple, strong and desirable, but
Strong fish may lack strength unless they are made of metal hinges. A horizontal deployment force can be applied to the opening and closing mechanism with a spring.

[0009] If the paint color is bright and vivid on the top surface, the visibility will be better when there is no pull. At this time, if the paint color on the side and underside is dark, it will feel as if the float disappears when there is a pull. If the top and sides are dark and the bottom is vivid, it feels like a float when pulling. By choosing a bright complementary color for the upper and lower surfaces and darkening the sides, the visibility of the pull is good, and you can always see the float unless it is drawn deep into the water. As described above, the colors of the upper surface and the lower surface are changed to the freshness, lightness,
Contrast with chromaticity. Generally, bright colors are
It shows reddish or yellowish or bright blue, etc., and fluorescent color makes it more vivid. Contrasting colors include complementary colors (including yellow for red), dark colors, achromatic colors (including white), brown, silver, blue, green,
Mirror and similar colors. Vivid colors and distinctive color relationships depend on the fishing environment. When the surroundings are snowy or white on the surface of a cloud of white clouds, red or yellow on the surface of autumn leaves, shoots, flowers, sunrise or sunset, blue when the water is clear and the water looks deep blue, green when fresh green, etc. Is not bright. On the other hand, when the surroundings are flashy, the dark color has high visibility and feels vivid. Assume a combination of colors according to the fishing environment.

[0010] The piece closes upward due to air resistance, and water comes down with the bottom face down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First Example One balsa plate material serving as a wing plate and a balsa square material 8 serving as a buoyancy increasing body are pasted on the lower surface of a cloth to form an opening / closing mechanism 3, a yarn guide 4 is attached to the square material, and the lower surface 2 is attached. After coating the upper surface 5 with the fluorescent color yellow and the side surface 6 with the fluorescent color yellow, the upper surface 2 was subjected to a water-repellent treatment. (Fig. 1)

Second Example The bottom side of the triangular cloth 4 was sewn along the diameter of the lower surface of the circular cloth. Triangular cloth is a hole processing to attach a fishing line near the top 11
And frayed. The styrofoam adhesive was sprayed onto the sewn portion only with a water-repellent agent so that the styrofoam adhesive was hard to adhere, and two semicircular styrofoam pieces were adhered to the lower surface of the circular cloth. After bonding, the lower surface 2 was painted black, and the side surface 6 was left white. Apply red fluorescent paint on the upper surface 5,
A commercially available water repellent was sprayed. For use without a weight, no buoyancy-enhancing body is used. (Fig. 2)

Third Example A rectangular Styrofoam 1 was crushed and bent along two straight lines 3 parallel to the center line. A balsa wood rod 8 is applied to the upper and lower portions sandwiched between these two straight lines, and
And the balsa rod was fixed to the styrofoam with the thread 12. After the lower surface 2 was painted white, the side surfaces 6 were painted black, and the upper surface 5 was painted in fluorescent red, the upper surface 5 was treated with a water repellent. A buoyancy increasing body 10, which also serves as a coupling with the fishing line 9, was attached to the guiding line 4. (Fig. 3)

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] In each case, the slats close when throwing, and the water comes in with the bottom face down. Opening and closing the wings changes both the form and the color, providing good visibility.
