Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fish clipper used for securely grasping a caught fish without directly touching it with a hand.

In fishing, if you try to grab the fish with your hands, for example, when removing the hook from the fish you have caught, you may slip on the surface mucous membrane. If you touch the fish directly with your hands, the smell of the fish will stick to your hands, and you may be injured by the fish's fins and thorns. Also, some species of fish have poisonous spines. Therefore, in fishing, a fish clamp is often used for grasping a fish without touching it directly.
As such fish clamps, scissors-type or tongs-type ones are generally widely used, in which a pair of grips to be gripped by hand and a pair of rocking arms that open and close in front of the grips are integrated. The scissor-type fish clipper has a support shaft in the middle of the entire structure including the grip and swing arms, and is configured to form an X shape when the swing arms are spaced apart. The tongue type has a support shaft on the base end side of a pair of grips, and is configured to open in a U-shape or V-shape as a whole. Both types of fish clamps are often made of plastic.
The fish clamping tool described in Patent Document 1 is of scissors type and has a grip (grasping part) to be gripped by hand and a swinging arm (grasping part) for grasping the fish, and a center support shaft (short shaft) so that it can be opened and closed. A serration is formed on the swing arm to facilitate grasping of the fish. In Document 1, it is recommended that the fish clamp tool be made of stainless steel.

Plastic fish clamps are easy to handle because they are lightweight and rust-resistant. On the other hand, due to the characteristics of the material, they are prone to elastic deformation. There is In addition, plastic products are disadvantageous in terms of appearance, and have the disadvantage that they tend to look unreliable and cheap.
On the other hand, the fish clamping device of Patent Document 1 is made entirely of stainless steel or the like, so that it has high rigidity and the rocking arm and the like are less likely to bend even when a fish is caught. In addition, in the example of Document 1, the grip and the swing arm are made of thin stainless steel plates, and the area where the fish is held is a single line and narrow, so it can hold a large fish that has a strong violent force. It is unstable in terms of In order to stably catch the fish, it is preferable to construct the swing arm from a thick metal plate to widen the range of grasping the fish.
In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fish clamp that is lightweight, yet has a good appearance and is capable of securely gripping live fish.

The fish pincher of the present invention has a pair of swinging arms provided in front of a pair of grips connected by a support shaft (the side on which the fish can be approached), and when the pair of grips is gripped by hand, the fish is pinched. A fish clip tool in which the pair of swing arms approach each other for
・ On both sides of the above-mentioned pair of swinging arms, there are protrusions facing each other (towards the inner side of the swinging arms), and stainless steel teeth continuous in the length direction of the swinging arms (holding fish). A tooth having a convex portion that is easy to clean.The shape of the tooth does not matter) is attached, and
- The teeth are arranged side by side in two rows with an interval in the width direction (the length direction of the support shaft) of each swing arm.
1 to 3 show an example of a fish clamp according to the present invention. A pair of swinging arms 3a is provided in front of the pair of grips 2a (on the right side in the drawing). When the pair of grip members 2a are gripped by hand, the pair of swinging arms 3a swing toward each other in a closing direction. Stainless teeth (protrusions) 5a extending in the lengthwise direction of the swing arms 3a are attached to the sides of the swing arms 3a facing each other. Two rows of teeth 5a are arranged side by side, for example, in parallel with each other at intervals in the width direction of each swing arm 3a.

In such a fish clamp, each of a pair of swinging arms has two rows of stainless steel teeth spaced apart, so that the fish can be stably caught at multiple points, that is, over a wide range. is possible. The continuous stainless steel teeth are more rigid than plastic teeth, so even if you apply force to grab the fish, the operating part will not bend easily, so you can reliably grab the fish. Since the teeth are made of stainless steel, it has excellent corrosion resistance and is also preferable in terms of appearance. Although it can hold fish stably in a wide range as mentioned above, it does not use exceptionally thick stainless steel teeth, but it has two rows of teeth that are not particularly thick at intervals, so it is lightweight. It can be configured to be easy to handle.

In the above-described fish clamping device, the teeth are formed on one edge of a band-shaped stainless steel plate extending along the swing arm, and the two stainless steel plates sandwich the spacer. It is preferable that two rows are arranged side by side with an interval in the width direction by being attached to each swing arm in a state of being connected by .
1 to 3, two strip-shaped stainless steel plates 5 are attached to each swing arm 3a in a state of being connected with a spacer 7 interposed therebetween. The tooth 5a is formed as a projection on one edge of the stainless steel plate 5. As shown in FIG. The stainless steel plate 5 including the teeth 5a is thin with a thickness of about 1.5 to 3 mm.

In such a fish clamp, since the two stainless steel plates connected together have higher rigidity than when each plate exists independently, it is difficult to bend when grasping the fish, and the fish can be held more stably. can grab onto. Since there is a space between the two stainless steel plates connected with the spacer, the fish clamp can be configured to have the advantage of being lightweight while having high rigidity.

In the fish clamp device of the above invention, the teeth are sawtooth-shaped with triangular protrusions arranged in the length direction of the swing arm when viewed from the side (the width direction of the swing arm). The inclination of the projection on the side closer to the grip has an angle closer to the right angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the swing arm than the inclination on the side farther from the grip (that is, each tooth is inclined toward the grip). It is preferably formed by
1 to 3 (especially see FIG. 3), the tooth 5a has a serrated shape inclined toward the grip 2a. It has an angle closer to the right angle to the longitudinal direction of the swing arm 3a than the inclined surface 5a2 on the side farther from.

Such a fish clamping device has the advantage that the gripped fish has a large resistance to sliding and moving to the tip side of the swing arm due to the teeth having such a shape, and it is difficult for the fish to escape. be.

In the fish clamp device of the above invention, a pair of body constituent members integrally having the grip and the swing arm intersect each other in an X shape by having the support shaft between the grip and the swing arm. It is also preferable to have a clip (that is, a scissors type as in the example of FIGS. 1 to 3).

The above conceived fish clipper can be configured in a so-called scissors type or a tongs type. However, the scissors-type fish clamping device described here has the same strength as the tongs-type fish clamping device having a support shaft on the base end side of the grip because the distance between the position of the fish to be grasped and the fulcrum is close. If you grip the grip with force, you can grab the fish with more force based on the principle of leverage.

In the fish clamp device of the above invention, a body component (not including the teeth and stainless steel plate, and the rubber described later) integrally having the grip and the swing arm is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. It is particularly preferable to have
In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3 as well, the body constituent members 8A and 8B are made of aluminum.

Aluminum or an aluminum alloy is a metal with a small specific gravity and has a corrosion-resistant film on its surface, making it difficult to rust. Therefore, it can be said that the above-mentioned fish clamp having a body component made of such a metal is lightweight, easy to handle, and excellent in rust resistance. It is advantageous in terms of mechanical strength and appearance as compared with those made of plastic.

In the fish clipper of the above invention, it is more preferable that (all or part of) the portion of the grip that is touched by the hand is covered with rubber (anti-slip rubber).
In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3 as well, rubbers 9 are attached to each outer portion of the grip 2a.

If even a part of the grip of the fish nipper that you touch is covered with rubber, it will not slip easily even when your hand or the grip is wet. There is an advantage that the user is less likely to feel coldness.

Since the fish clamping device of the present invention has two rows of stainless steel teeth spaced apart from each other, the fish can be stably caught over a wide range. In addition, it can be constructed to be lightweight and easy to handle. It is also preferable in terms of appearance.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the open state of the fish clip tool 1. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the closed state of the fish clamp 1. FIG. FIG. 3 is a bottom view (viewed from the back side of FIG. 2) showing the open state of the fish clamp 1. As shown in FIG.

An embodiment of a fish clamp device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG.
The fish clipper 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used for grasping a fish without directly touching it with a hand, such as when removing a hook from a caught fish.

The fish clamp tool 1 has an operation part 2 which is gripped by a user's hand and operated, and an operation part 3 which is opened and closed by swinging in front thereof, and has a spindle 4 between both parts 2 and 3. It is a scissor-shaped fish clamp. The operating portion 2 has a pair of grips 2a, and the operating portion 3 includes a pair of swing arms 3a. One of the grips 2a and one of the swinging arms 3a are integrally formed as a body forming member 8A, and the other paired grip 2a and the other swinging arm 3a are integrally formed as a body forming member 8B. body constituent members 8A and 8B are connected by a support shaft 4 so as to be able to swing. When the pair of grips 2a of the operation unit 2 are gripped and closed from the open state as shown in FIG. can be done. By moving the swinging arms 3a closer together, the fish can be gripped. In addition, since a spring (not shown) is built in the vicinity of the support shaft 4, the space between the swing arms 3a is opened in a natural state where gripping force is not applied.

The body constituent members 8A and 8B of the fish clamp 1 are made of aluminum, which is a lightweight metal and has excellent corrosion resistance. Further, a stainless steel plate 5 having teeth 5a, which will be described later, is attached to each swing arm 3a of the operating portion 3, and the support shaft 4 is also made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has high corrosion resistance and is even more rigid than aluminum, so it does not pose a problem even if it gets wet with water or seawater, and it is used because it can hold fish firmly.

Two stainless steel plates 5 are attached to each of the pair of swinging arms 3a, and the fish is sandwiched between these stainless steel plates 5 directly. That is, the fish clamping tool 1 has a total of four stainless steel plates 5, and since the fish is clamped between them, the fish can be stably clamped at multiple points.

Each stainless steel plate 5 is strip-shaped with a thickness of about 1.0 to 3.0 mm, a length of about 50 to 150 mm, and a width of about 5 to 15 mm. The proximal end portions 5b of the two stainless steel plates 5 are fixed to both side surfaces (surfaces parallel to the direction in which the swing arm 3a swings about the support shaft 4) on the distal end side of the swing arm 3a with stainless receiving screws 6. there is Further, the two stainless steel plates 5 are connected to each other in the middle of the entire length by a spacer 7 made of stainless steel and a receiving screw 6 passing through the spacer. The spacer 7 is a cylindrical member having a length that connects the two stainless steel plates 5 in parallel. The two stainless steel plates 5 that are integrally connected in this manner have higher rigidity and are less likely to bend than if they were attached individually one by one. In addition, since there is a large space between the two stainless steel plates 5 that are connected, the moving part 3 can be made lightweight while having high rigidity.

Each stainless steel plate 5 is continuously formed with mountain-shaped teeth (convex portions) 5a on opposite edges for catching fish. As shown in FIG. 3, the tooth 5a has a triangular cross-section with a top portion 5a1 inclined toward the grip 2a. has an angle closer to the right angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the stainless plate 5 than the inclined surface 5a2 facing the tip side. Therefore, the fish clipper 1 has a large resistance to the gripped fish slipping to the tip side of the stainless steel plate 5, and can prevent the fish from escaping.

Each grip 2a of the operation unit 2 is covered with a non-slip rubber 9 at a portion that is mainly touched by a hand when gripped. Therefore, when the user holds the fish clipper 1, even if his or her hands are wet with water, the user's hands are not slippery, and even in winter, the coldness of the aluminum grip 2a can be avoided from being directly transmitted to the hands.

The fish clamp 1 of the invention is not limited to the above-described forms with respect to the pitch and height of the teeth 5a, the arrangement of the stainless plate 5, the number of receiving screws 6 and spacers 7, the shape of the rubber 9, and the like. By providing the position of the support shaft 4 on the base end side of the operation part 2, it is possible to construct a tong-type fish clipper.

The invented fish clipper is used as a means for grasping a caught fish without directly touching it with a hand. It can be used at fishing sites, and can also be used when cooking fish.
