Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fish storage device for storing fishing fish, and more particularly, to a cooler fish storage device which is applied to a cooler for keeping the fishing fish cool and stores the fishing fish in the cooler.
[0002]
Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention
Regardless of the genre of fishing, in general, in fishing, a cooler called a cooler is used in order to keep the fish, that is, the fish caught, cool and preserved. It is said that the preferred method of preserving the cold storage of the fish is to immerse the fish in a liquid called "tide ice". Specifically, seawater and ice are mixed in the cooler (this liquid is referred to as "tidal ice"), and fishing fish is put therein.
Sea ice is adopted as a method for preserving the cold storage of fishing fish because, when the fishing fish is placed directly on ice (or under ice) in a cooler, the ice comes into contact with the fishing fish, and the surface texture of the fishing fish is so-called. This is because the fish will be morbid and the fishing fish will be damaged.
[0003]
However, even if tidal ice is formed in the cooler, the ice will float because the specific gravity of the ice is smaller than the specific gravity of seawater. When a fishing fish is put into the tidal ice, the ice and the fishing fish come into direct contact with each other, and in some cases, the surface texture of the fishing fish may be in a so-called moist state.
Conventionally, a member for appropriately dividing and dividing the space in the cooler has been provided (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1), but this member is not intended to accommodate fishing fish, and is not actually used. However, it was not possible to accommodate fishing fish separately from other things (such as ice).
[0004]

[0005]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cooler fish that can completely separate a fishing fish and ice and keep the fish in a cool condition even when the fishing fish is put in tidal ice created in the cooler. It is to provide a container.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
(1) To achieve the above object, the cooler fish storage device according to the present application is formed in a bag shape having water permeability and flexibility, and a fish storage member that can be arranged along the inner wall surface of the cooler; An engaging member provided at the opening peripheral portion of the fish storage member and capable of engaging with the opening peripheral portion of the cooler, and disposed inside the fish storage member, parallel to the inner bottom surface of the cooler and along the inner wall surface. And a partition member movably formed in the depth direction.
[0007]
According to this configuration, first, sea ice is formed in the cooler. The door (lid) of the cooler is opened, and the bag-shaped fish storage member is inserted into the cooler. At this time, the fish housing member is housed in the cooler from the bottom, and the opening edge of the fish housing member is aligned with the opening edge of the cooler. Since the engaging member is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening of the fish storage member, the engaging member is engaged with the peripheral edge of the opening of the cooler. Thus, the fish storage member can be suspended inside the cooler along the inner wall surface of the cooler in a state where the opening peripheral edge is locked to the opening peripheral edge of the cooler.
A partition member is arranged inside the fish storage member. The partition member is disposed on the inner bottom of the fish storage member by its own weight.
[0008]
Since the above-mentioned tidal ice is formed inside the cooler, the ice floats on the surface of seawater with a predetermined buoyancy. Therefore, in a state where the fish is not stored in the fish storage member, the partition member is lifted by the ice of the sea ice, and the fish storage member is in a state of being folded in the depth direction of the cooler.
When the fishing fish is stored in the fish storage member, the partition member moves in the depth direction due to the weight of the fishing fish, and the fishing fish is buried in the sea ice. At this time, since the fishing fish is placed on the partition member, the partition member is interposed between the ice and the fishing fish. Therefore, there is no direct contact between the fishing fish and the ice in the sea ice.
Further, when the fishing fish is transported together with the cooler (for example, when the cooler is transported as luggage after the fishing is completed), the seawater in the cooler is discharged. Even in this case, since the partition member separates the fishing fish from the ice, the fishing fish is not damaged by the ice.
[0009]
(2) It is preferable that the fish accommodation member is formed in a net shape by a flexible wire.
In this configuration, the fish accommodation member can be configured by, for example, a net adopted for a duck net. Therefore, there is an advantage that the fish accommodation member is configured simply and inexpensively.
[0010]
(3) The partition member may be formed in a plate shape and include a plurality of through holes penetrating in the plate thickness direction.
In this configuration, since the partition member is formed by a plate-shaped member made of resin, metal, or the like, the partition member is configured simply and inexpensively. Further, by providing the through-holes in the plate-shaped member, the partitioning member ensures good water permeability. Therefore, when the fishing fish is put into the fish storage member, the fishing fish is quickly buried in the cooler together with the partition member.
[0011]
(4) The engagement member may be configured by a rectangular frame member that is fitted into a step formed at the periphery of the opening of the cooler.
In the cooler, a door (lid) may be fitted to the opening of the cooler in a so-called jerking or spigot-like manner in order to improve the cooling power. In that case, a step portion with which the door is fitted is formed at the periphery of the opening of the cooler.
In this configuration, by fitting the frame member into the step portion, the opening peripheral portion of the fish storage member is easily and reliably positioned at the opening peripheral portion of the cooler. That is, the cooler fish container is easily attached to the cooler.
Further, the engagement member may be constituted by a suction cup member.
In this configuration, the suction rim is attached to the inner wall surface of the cooler, so that the opening rim of the fish storage member is positioned at the opening rim of the cooler.
[0012]
(5) Further, in order to achieve the above object, the cooler fish container according to the present application is formed into a leg that is provided upright at the corner of the cooler and a bag shape having water permeability and flexibility. A fish accommodating member arranged along the inner wall surface of the cooler by being suspended on the leg portion, and a fish accommodating member arranged inside the fish accommodating member, and having a depth parallel to the inner bottom surface of the cooler and along the inner wall surface. And a partition member movably formed in the vertical direction.
[0013]
According to this configuration, first, sea ice is formed in the cooler. The cooler door (lid) is opened, and the legs are arranged in a state where the legs are erected at the corners of the cooler. Since the bag-shaped fish accommodating member is suspended from the leg, the fish accommodating member is inserted into the cooler by disposing the leg in the cooler. At this time, the fish accommodating member is accommodated from the bottom along the inner wall surface of the cooler, and the opening peripheral edge of the fish accommodating member is aligned with the opening peripheral edge of the cooler.
A partition member is arranged inside the fish storage member. The partition member is disposed on the inner bottom of the fish storage member by its own weight.
[0014]
Since the tidal ice is formed inside the cooler, the ice floats on the surface of seawater with a predetermined buoyancy. Therefore, in a state where the fish is not stored in the fish storage member, the partition member is lifted by the ice of the sea ice, and the fish storage member is in a state of being folded in the depth direction of the cooler.
When the fishing fish is stored in the fish storage member, the partition member moves in the depth direction due to the weight of the fishing fish, and the fishing fish is buried in the sea ice. At this time, since the fishing fish is placed on the partition member, the partition member is interposed between the ice and the fishing fish. Therefore, there is no direct contact between the fishing fish and the ice in the sea ice.
Further, when the fishing fish is transported together with the cooler (for example, when the cooler is transported as luggage after the fishing is completed), the seawater in the cooler is discharged. Even in this case, since the partition member separates the fishing fish from the ice, the fishing fish is not damaged by the ice.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings as appropriate.
[0016]
<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cooler fish container 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The cooler fish container 10 is installed inside a cooler for keeping cold-cooked fish. By storing the fishing fish in the cooler fish storage device 10, even when the fishing fish is put together with the sea ice in the cooler, the fishing fish can be kept cool and satisfactorily without directly contacting the ice. ing.
[0017]
The cooler fish storage device 10 includes a fish storage member 11 formed in a bag shape, an engagement member 12 for attaching the fish storage member 11 to the cooler, and a partition member 13 disposed inside the fish storage member 11. It has. The manner in which the cooler fish container 10 is arranged in the cooler will be described later.
[0018]
The fish accommodating member 11 has a bag shape in which the opening 14 is formed. In this embodiment, the fish accommodation member 11 is formed in a net shape and has flexibility. Specifically, the fish storage member 11 is made of a flexible wire such as a nylon thread or a fluorocarbon thread, for example, and is woven in a predetermined manner.
Thereby, the fish accommodation member 11 has good water permeability and flexes freely, so that it is easily arranged along the inner wall surface of the cooler. Various known methods can be adopted for the method of knitting the wire.
[0019]
A large number of annular portions 16 are juxtaposed at an opening peripheral portion 15 that defines the opening 14 of the fish storage member 11. These annular portions 16 are made of the above-mentioned wire.
