Description

FISHING WEIGHT FOR PREVENTING WATER POLLUTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing weight which is used in all
types of fishing, and more particularly, to a fishing weight which is
manufactured with a pure earth material, to thereby prevent water pollution.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generally, when reel fishing or fishing on a sea rock is implemented, a
fishing weight is used to cast a fishing line which is fixed into a fishhook
into the water, so that the fishhook is sunk into the water and is finally
disposed at a desired position. Of course, a buoyant float is used,
considering the weight of the fishing weight, to support the fishhook by
using its own buoyance, such that the fishhook can float into the water. At
the time, the fishing weight is generally manufactured by a lead material and
has an oval shape, which may be variable upon determining the shapes thereof.
Furthermore, such the fishing weight made of the lead material is
numerously used for a fishing net, a cultivating farm net, various kinds of fish traps and so on, which are widely used in the whole world. As a result,
the number of the fishing weight, which is sunk into the water, without
recollected, can be increased geometrically.
However, since there have been recently developed fishing equipments
which have a relatively excellent durability and are well repaired at a
proper time, even though a serious problem that the fishing weight made of
the lead material causes water pollution has emerged over the whole world, it
can be expected that the damages caused by the fishing equipments will be
reduced. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, therefore, an
attention on the problems caused from the fishing weights made of the lead
material which are deserted into the water by fishermen* ill be given.
Meanwhile, when the fishing is executed on the sea, river, lake, a
reservoir and the like, the fishhook is often caught on a water grass, stone,
a gap on the rock, or a net, which results in the cut-off of the fishing
line. At the time, the fishing weight made of the lead material is deserted
into the water, along with the cut-off fishing line.
In addition, after completing the fishing, it is common that fishermen
cast the fishing weight made of the lead material into the water. The fishing weights which have been deserted into the water are continuously stacked on
the bottom surface and, during a very long time period, are corroded and
oxidized to thereby pollute the sea or river by heavy metals(for example, the
lead material). Further, it is important that such the water pollution may
cause a fishery ecosystem to be destroyed. As a result, the destruction
becomes one of hindrance causes in the development of the fishing industry
and the cultivating industry on the seas along the coast or adjacent seas,
river, reservoir and the like. Furthermore, this becomes one of causes of
destroying a natural ecosystem on the seas along the coast or adjacent seas.
Accordingly, it is natural that the fishing weight made of the lead
material which have been deserted into the water should be collected, but the
collecting work is not well operated for various reasons. Therefore, as time
elapses, the water pollution problem becomes more and more serious, which may
be badly affected on the balance of ecosystem on the earth.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing weight for
preventing an environmental pollution which is manufactured with a pure earth material and even though stacked into the water, prevents water quality
from being deteriorated or polluted, to thereby preserve an ecosystem on the
earth as well as a fishery ecosystem, without any destruction.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fishing weight
for preventing an envi onmental pollution which does not need an additional
work for collecting the fishing weight which is deserted into the water along
with a fishing line which is cut off due to the hooking onto an object into
the water.
To achieve these and other objects according to the present invention,
there is provided a method for manufacturing a fishing weight which prevents
an environmental pollution, including the steps of: molding the fishing
weight with a ceramic material; and heating the molding material up to a
predetermined temperature to convert the heated material into a pure earth
material.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects and' aspects of the invention will become apparent from the
following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a fishing weight, for preventing
an environmental pollution constructed according to a preferred embodiment of
the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Hereinafter, an explanation on a manufacturing process of a fishing
weight for preventing an environmental pollution according to a preferred
embodiment of the present invention will be discussed, but explanation on
the well-known functions or constructions to those skilled in the art will be
excluded in this detailed description for the sake of brevity.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing a fishing weight which is manufactured
with a pure earth material according to a preferred embodiment of the present
invention, the fishing weight 100 includes a hole 102 on the center portion
thereof, through which a fishing line is inserted. Generally, the fishing
weight 100 takes an oval shape, but may be variable to have a circular shape,
a square shape, or any other shape. On the other hand, the fishing weight 100 is manufactured with a pure
earth material. In more detail, the fishing weight 100 is molded into a
predetermined shape made of a ceramic material by means of a press means and
is then put into the interior of a furnace to be heated up to a temperature
of about 1300°C or more. At the time, in the fishing weight 100 made of the
ceramic material, since a metal component among the ceramic composing
components is molten and oxidized, a pure ceramic, i. e. a pure earth
material remains on the fishing weight 100. Next, the fishing weight 100 is
gradually cooled at a room temperature(in the air), such that the
manufacturing process for the fishing weight 100 made of the pure earth
material is completed.
If the size of the fishing weight constructed according to the present
invention is adjusted not to generate a serious weight difference from a
conventional fishing weight(made of a lead material), the fishing weight
which is made of the pure earth material can be used without any
inconvenience.
While the present invention has been described with reference to a
specific embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. However, various modifications
in which the fishing weight which is attached to a fishing net, a cultivating
net and the like may be manufactured with a pure earth material may occur tα
those skilled in the art, without: departing from the spirit and scope of the
present invention.
As discussed in the above, a fishing weight for preventing an
environmental pollution constructed according to the present invention is
manufactured with a pure earth material and under the state where it is
deserted into the water, can be finally reduced to a natural component, as a
predetermined time elapses, to thereby prevent water quality from being
deteriorated or polluted and further to preserve a fishery ecosystem, without
any destruction.
