BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
A preferred embodiment of a fishing float according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of a fishing float 1 according to the present invention.

In the basic structure, the float 1 is preferably formed of an oval or conical shape as shown in the drawing, preferably using a wood material. In addition, the float 1 is configured as a through float (FIG. 1A) having a threading hole 2 for inserting a fishing line 8 in the center of the float main body. Alternatively, it is configured as a ring float (FIG. 1B) or a rod float (FIG. 1C) in which a ring component is mounted at the center. A center pipe 3 is attached to a hole provided at the center of each float.
The center pipe 3 is preferably made of resin, and its inner hole forms the threading hole 2 or a mounting hole for a ring-tight part.

A weight 4 is arranged around the center pipe 3. A weight case 5 for accommodating the weight 4 is provided, and the weight case 5 is fixed to the floating body. The weight case 5 is preferably made of resin (typically, ABS resin is preferable), and is bonded or screwed to both the center pipe 3 and the floating body as described later. A hollow portion 6 is provided around the center pipe 3, and the weight case 5 is fitted or screwed into the hollow portion 6 and is fixed by bonding.

FIG. 2 shows a specific configuration example of the weight case 5. The weight case 5 has a fitting portion 5a fitted (FIG. 2A) or screwed (FIG. 2B) into the hollow portion 6 of the floating body.
And a stepped portion 5b on the outer periphery thereof. The stepped portion 5b abuts against and is fixed to the floating body.

The above members are fixed to each other by an adhesive 7. That is, the upper portion of the center pipe 3 and the floating body are bonded by an adhesive 7a, the fitting portion 5a and the step portion 5b and the floating body are bonded by an adhesive 7b, and the lower portion of the center pipe 3 and the weight case 5 are bonded by an adhesive 7c. You. Paint is applied to the entire surface of the float 1.

According to the present invention in the above configuration, first of all, the adhesion of the coating film applied to the weight case 5 is particularly high, and it is possible to reliably prevent the coating film from peeling off or falling off. Also,
Weight case 5 and wooden floating body or center pipe 3
A very strong adhesive force can be secured by the adhesive, and the waterproofness is greatly improved. When the adhesive is applied, the applied area can be made constant, so that the amount of the adhesive used can be stably maintained, whereby the buoyancy calculation can be performed accurately and easily.

In manufacturing, since the weight case 5 can be cut in a shorter time than a metal material, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Also, when cutting using a lathe, the durability of the cutting bite is improved. This also reduces manufacturing costs.

Further, the weight case 5 has a step 5
By having b, it is possible to prevent the weight 4 from floating and falling to the main body side due to the impact. In addition, regardless of the size of the weight 4, it can be assembled by bonding with the same bonding strength. Further, the weight case 5 can be shared by using a part having an extra cutting allowance so as to correspond to different designs and designs, and the weight used can be shared by making the inner surface of the case a uniform size. Furthermore, since the case is temporarily attached to the material, the weight is measured after the final cutting, and a weight corresponding to the buoyancy can be attached, a product having accurate buoyancy can be easily produced.

Since the adhesive strength can be ensured and guaranteed by the weight case 5, the weight 4 can be made large in diameter, and as a result, the center of gravity of the floating can be reduced. That is, FIG.
In the present invention (FIG. 3A) and the conventional example (FIG. 3B)
Compared with, whereas the adhesion margins L ₁ + L ₂ is secured by the engagement portion 5a of the float 1 in weight casing 5 of the present invention (including the stepped portion 5b), floating body in the conventional floating The adhesive margin L ₁ + L ₂ must be secured to the weight 20 by the weight 23 itself. That is, in order to secure a predetermined or target adhesive strength, the weight 23 becomes vertically elongated when the weight is the same. If such a weight 23 is used, the center of gravity of the entire float must be high. In the present invention, by increasing the diameter of the weight 4, the center of gravity can be effectively reduced, and the buoyancy of the float 1 or the movement or action thereby can be extremely stabilized.

The float 1 in the above embodiment can be applied to any fishing float provided with a weight. In addition, the specific dimensions and the like of the weight case 5 can be appropriately set in relation to the float to which the weight case 5 is applied, so that a wide range of shapes can be handled.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, the weight disposed around the threading hole is accommodated in the resin weight case, thereby ensuring high adhesion to the paint and floating. An extremely strong adhesive force by the adhesive can be secured to the main body. As a result, high waterproofness can be secured and maintained, the durability of the floating can be remarkably improved, the productivity of the floating itself can be increased, and the floating performance of lowering the center of gravity of the floating can be further improved. have.
