(22) Date of filing : 20.11.1998 (72) Patent Inventor : MORIBAYASHI MUTSUMI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a sphere which can substitute for a high-sepcific-gravity sphere made of lead, a hard metal, or the like by mixing a tungsten powder mainly comprising primary particles with a thermoplastic resin or elastomer in a specified ratio and injection molding the resultant mixture so that the specific gravity of the resultant molded item is a specified value.
SOLUTION: A mixture mainly comprising 45-75 vol.% tungsten powder which is obtained by cracking agglomerates occurring in the production process and mainly comprises primary particles and 25-55 vol.% thermoplastic resin or elastomer is molded so that a molded item with a specific gravity of 9-15 is obtained. The use of a biodegradable resin as the thermoplastic resin is environmentally preferable since it gives a sphere which decomposes even when left behind as a bullet or a fishing sinker in a mountain or in the sea. The surface of the sphere may be coated with e.g. a fluororesin, graphite, or molybdenum disulfide to improve the heat resistance or slipperiness. Thus, the spheres can be mass-produced at a high precision.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a split shot sinker scarcely causing a fishing line to be broken, effective for preventing environmental pollution, and capable of being easily produced.
SOLUTION: This split shot inker S has a slit 16 into which the fishing line L is inserted, wherein the sinker is composed of a sinker body 20 made of a material having a high relative density, and further composed of a slit material 10 which is embedded in the sinker body 20, positioned in an area with which the fishing line L is contacted, forms the slit 16, and is made of a resin material having flexibility. The fishing line L is difficult to be broken, because the slit material 10 contacts with the fishing line. Even when a metal which does not give any anxiety about the environmental pollution but is too hard to be flexibly deformed, such as tungsten, is used as the sinker body 20, fastening operation of the fishing line L can be carried out, because the slit 16 of the slit material 10 made of the resin material is easily deformable.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To eliminate public pollution even if a material made of konnyaku or gelatinous food made from devil's-tongue starch powder and non-toxic metal powder of predetermined amount with respect to the konnyaku as a bullet, finishing weight, etc., is left to stand in natural field after using by using the material as the bullet, the fishing weight, etc.
CONSTITUTION: A kg of konnyaku powder, 0.5A to 5Akg of non-toxic metallic powder (tungsten powder) and 5A to about 40Akg of water are mixed, the mixed solution is left to stand for about 2 to three hours. Then, the solution thus left to stand is agitated without irregularity, glucomannan is solidified, and then solidified konnyaku powder is filled in a predetermined mold to be molded. Thereafter, the molding is filled in a dryer to extract its moisture, and the shape is arranged. As required, a film coating is provided. When the bullet or the weight is left to stand for about one week, it is corroded to be returned to soil. The bullet or the weight flowing to the river is returned to the water in 5 to 30 days. Thus, even if it is left to stand after the use, there is no anxiety of public pollution.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sinker for fishing comprising a brittle metal and to provide a method for producing the same.
SOLUTION: The material for the sinker body has a sufficient specific gravity for using as the sinker (10) for fishing, and has an outside casing, namely, a skin cover (15) fitting to the outer surface (10a) of the body to prevent crushing of the body and preventing loss of the material in the case of crushing. The casing can be provided with a visible indicator to help a user identify the type of sinker and dimension or other information thereof.


TRANSPARENT SINKER WITH LOW SPECIFIC GRAVITY

(21) Patent Application number : 2000-270809 (71) Patent Applicant : CEL:KK
(22) Date of filing : 03.08.2000 (72) Patent Inventor : IKEDA MASATOSHI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for simultaneously achieving tightening of a fishline and synchronization with chum or attractant by using a transparent sinker with a low specific gravity because the conventional sinker attached to the vicinity of a fishhook is mainly composed of a metal (e.g. lead) and has a large specific gravity to cause crimp or bend to the flow and not to be readily synchronized with the chum.
SOLUTION: This transparent sinker with the low specific gravity is characterized in that a half-cone body is formed out of a transparent material having >1.0 specific gravity, and a through hole 3 allowing the fishline to penetrate the hole 3 from the vicinity of the tip bottom part of the half-cone body to the vicinity of the top center comprising a flat surface, a concave part or the like. The transparent sinker with the low specific gravity can be attached to a part very close to a fishhook without calling attention of a fish because of the transparency, and hardly provides a node-like crimp to the fishline because of the low specific gravity. The sinker also can facilitate the catch of strike because the flat surface or the concave part of the upper part receives the force of the stream to make the fishline tight, and can allow the chum or the attractant to be synchronized with the fishhook and prevent the terminal tackle from being entangled because the terminal tackle is directly pulled by the flow. A transparent high-molecular material and glass having >1 specific gravity is cited as the material.
