Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure used for lure fishing, when the lure is stored or carried, a hook (needle) of the lure is stuck in a body or the like. The present invention relates to a lure hook cover that covers the hook so as not to be caught on the lure or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventional lure hook covers are used individually one by one. [0003] That is, even when the hook is housed in the hook cover, the hook can move freely with respect to the body of the lure, so that the lure and the hook are easily entangled with each other, and the lure is taken out of the storage box, bag, or pocket. Occasionally, not only is the hook cover entangled with other lures or hook covers, and the hook cover is likely to come off from the hook, but also a hook cover of a different size with a hook receiving section corresponding to the size of the hook There were also issues that needed to be kept on hand. [0004] The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a lure hook cover that is hard to be detached from a hook in a bag, a pocket, and the like, and can be used for both large and small hooks. A hook cover of a lure according to the present invention has a hook receiving portion (3) for receiving a hook (2) of a fishing lure (13) from an opening (3a).
In the hook cover (1) having a small size, a small hook engaging projection (10) is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the hook receiving portion (3).
And a large hook engaging projection (11) are protruded. When the hook (2) is inserted from the opening (3a) into the hook accommodating portion (3), the hook (2) is protruded. )
When the hook is relatively large, the hook (2) elastically deforms the small hook engaging projection (10) and the large hook engaging projection (11) outwardly, and the hook (2) is elastically deformed. The hooks (10, 11) are accommodated in the hook accommodating portion (3) over the projections (10, 11).
Is prevented from dropping out of the hook accommodating portion (3) by the large hook locking projection (11), while the hook (2) is relatively small when the hook (2) is relatively small.
Is accommodated in the hook accommodating portion (3) while overcoming only the small hook engaging projection (10) while elastically deforming the small hook engaging projection (10) outward.
Thus, the hook (2) is configured to be prevented from falling out of the hook housing (3) by the small hook locking projection (10). Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 9 show an embodiment of a hook cover 1 according to the present invention.
The whole is integrally formed of a soft plastic, and can accommodate a hook 2 (see a chain line in FIGS. 8 and 9) which is a triple hook (a type of hook having a three-pointed branch). The hook housing 3 has a cross-sectional shape that extends radially in three directions at 120-degree intervals. One end of the hook housing 3 is open (3a indicates this opening), and the other end is closed. At the closed end of the hook cover 1, one ring-shaped knob 4 and two eaves 5 are provided.
Is provided. The knob 4 and the eaves 5
Are provided between the three radially extending portions of the hook cover 1 and extend in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the hook 2 is inserted into the hook housing 3 (a plane perpendicular to the hook housing 3). . One of the first connecting band insertion holes 6 penetrates in the vicinity of the base of the knob 4, and the other first connecting band insertion hole 6 Is formed, and the pair of first connecting band insertion holes 6 are located on a straight line extending in parallel with the direction in which the hook 2 is inserted into the hook accommodating portion 3. A window 8 is formed in each of the three radially extending portions of the hook cover 1 near a corner on the knob 4 side. As shown in FIG. 2, the hook accommodating portion 3 is brought into contact with the eaves-shaped portion 5 so that the second direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the hook 2 is inserted into the hook accommodating portion 3. Connection hole 9 has been drilled. As shown in FIGS. 4, 6, 8, and 9, a small hook engaging projection 10 and a large hook engaging projection 11 are formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the hook housing 3. Are protruded one by one, and the protrusions 10 of each pair are provided.
11 are provided to face each other. Here, the small hook engaging projection 10 is larger than the large hook engaging projection 11 by the opening 3 a and the hook accommodating section 3.
The center is located near both. FIGS. 10 and 12 show an example of use of the lure hook cover 1 of the present invention. In this example of use, two hook covers 1 are used. Then, the connecting body 12 is inserted into the pair of first connecting band insertion holes 6 of the hook cover 1 in a direction parallel to the direction in which the hook 2 is inserted into the hook receiving section 3, thereby obtaining the two The hook cover 1 is connected via a connecting body 12. Here, two hook covers 1
Make the opening 3a face the opposite side to the other hook cover 1 (that is, the opening 3a of the two hook covers 1).
(with a facing outward). The connecting member 12 is made of plastic,
Each hook cover 1 has elasticity and is substantially linear in a free state. Each hook cover 1 is attached to the connecting body 12 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the connecting body 12. The connecting body 12 has a generally flat rectangular cross-section so as to prevent the attached hook cover 1 from rotating, and both ends of the connecting body 12 are formed so as not to fall out of the first connecting band insertion holes 6. The width of the first connecting band is slightly wider than the width of one connecting band insertion hole 6 (when both ends are elastically deformed when inserted into the first connecting band insertion hole 6), It is inserted into the insertion hole 6). FIG. 13 shows a state in which the hook cover device according to the above-mentioned use example is used for a lure 13 of a type having two hooks 2. Each hook cover 1 is accommodated by inserting a hook 2 through an opening 3a. In this example of use, each hook cover 1 is slidable relative to the connecting body 12 in the longitudinal direction of the connecting body 12 as described above. It can correspond to the difference in distance. In this use example of the hook cover, when removing the hook cover 1 from the hook 2, the body 13a of the lure 13 is gripped by one hand, and the connecting body 12 is gripped by the other hand and both are pulled. As a result, the hook cover 1 can be easily removed from the hook 2 without bringing the finger close to the hook 2, so that there is no danger that the hook 2 will be stabbed by a finger when removing the hook cover 1 from the lure 13, and it is safe. Further, each hook cover 1 can be quickly and simultaneously removed from the two hooks 2 by the operation described above. Also, the two hook covers 1
Because it is linked by two, it is hard to lose. Further, since each hook 2 is fixed to the body 13a of the lure 13 along the body 13a, the lures 13 are hardly entangled in a box, bag, pocket, or the like for storing the lure 13. , Lure 13
From the box, bag, pocket, etc. Further, since each hook 2 is fixed along the body 13a of the lure 13 as described above, the hook cover 1 can be connected to another lure 1 in a bag, a pocket or the like.
The hook 1 is not easily entangled with the hook cover 1 and the direction of the hook 2 is fixed so that the hook 2 is not easily removed from the hook cover 1. It is hard to fall out of the hook cover 1 because it is locked by either the small hook locking projection 10 or the large hook locking projection 11 protruding from the inner surface of the side wall. The hook cover 1 is hard to be detached from the hook 2 in a bag, a pocket, or the like.
Since the small hook engaging projections 10 and the large hook engaging projections 11 are provided in a protruding manner, there is no need to prepare several types of hook covers 1 having different sizes corresponding to the sizes of the hooks 2. Hook cover 1 of one size can handle hooks 2 of different sizes. FIGS. 14 and 15 show another use example of the hook cover 1 of the lure of the present invention. In this use example, four hook covers 1 described above are used. In this example of use, the connecting body 12 is inserted into the second connecting band insertion holes 9 of these hook covers 1 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the hooks are inserted into the hook receiving portions 3, thereby forming four hooks. The hook cover 1 is connected via a connecting body 12. Note that the connecting body 12 in this usage example also has a band-like shape having the same form as that of the above-mentioned usage example, and both ends of the connecting body 12 are slightly wider than the width of the second connection band insertion hole 9. By doing so, it will not fall out of the second connecting band insertion hole 9. In this example of use, the hook cover 1 accommodates the lure 13 (of the type having only one hook) in each hook cover 1 as shown in FIG. By this, four lures 13 can be combined. Therefore, if the required number of the examples of this use example are prepared, any number of lures 13 can be collectively connected to each hook cover device for each group of weight, type, color, and the like. Also, in this example of use, when removing the hook 2 of the desired lure 13 from the hook cover 1, one end of the connecting body 12 is gripped by one hand, and the body of the lure 13 is gripped by the other hand. 13a, and by pulling both, the hook cover 1 can be easily removed from the hook 2 without putting a finger close to the hook 2 when removing the lure 13.
Can be removed, so that the hook can be prevented from being stuck in the finger at this time, and it is safe. (In the case of removal, the hook 4 of the hook cover 1 is used instead of the connector 12.
You can also remove the hook 2 by picking etc.) Also in this example of use, since an arbitrary number of hook covers 1 are connected by the connecting body 12, the hook covers 1 can be prevented from being lost, and the inner surface of the side wall of the hook receiving portion 3 of the hook cover 1 can be prevented. Is provided with a small hook engaging projection 10 and a large hook engaging projection 11 so as to face each other.
It is locked by the projections 10, 11 of the small hook locking projections 10 or the large hook locking projections 11 and is difficult to be removed from the hook cover 1. The hook cover 1 is hard to come off, and the hook cover 1 of one size can be used for a plurality of hooks 2 of different sizes. That is, in the hook cover 1 according to the present invention,
As described above, since the small hook engaging projection 10 and the large hook engaging projection 11 are projected, the hook 2 is provided.
When the hook 2 to be inserted is relatively large, the hook 2 is inserted into the small hook engaging projection 10 and the large hook engaging projection. While elastically deforming the hook cover 11 outward in the thickness direction of the hook cover 11 (in the case of this embodiment, the wall of the hook accommodating portion 3 is elastically deformed and the projections 10 and 11 are also elastically deformed). As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8, the hooks 2 are received in the hook receiving portions 3 over the projections 10 and 11, whereby the hooks 2 are outside the hook receiving portions 3 by the large hook locking projections 11. Can be prevented from falling off. On the other hand, when the hook 2 to be inserted is relatively small, the hook 2 is
While being elastically deformed outward, the small hook hooking projection 10 is passed over only the small hook locking projection 10 and is accommodated in the hook accommodating portion 3 as shown by the dashed line in FIG. The hook locking projections 10 can prevent the hooks 3 from falling out of the housing 3. Therefore,
Both the relatively large hook 2 shown by the two-dot chain line and the small hook 2 shown by the one-dot chain line were completely accommodated in the hook accommodating portion 3 so that the needle tip did not protrude outside. Locked in the state, it can be prevented from falling out of the hook storage part 3. Although the connecting body 12 in the above-mentioned use example is formed in a flat band shape, it goes without saying that in the present invention, the connecting body may be a columnar one having a circular cross section or the like. As described above, the hook cover of the lure of the present invention has the small hook engaging projections 10 and the large hook engaging projections 11 projecting from the inner surface of the side wall of the hook accommodating portion. Therefore, the stored hook 2 is locked by the projections 10 and 11 of either the small hook locking projections 10 or the large hook locking projections 11 and is difficult to be removed from the hook cover 1. Hook 2 in a bag or pocket
The hook cover 1 is hard to come off from the hook 2 and a plurality of hooks 2 of different sizes are provided by the hook cover 1 of one size.
Can be used in correspondence with.
