In view of the above object, the present invention provides a weight body in the lower portion of the cage body in claim 1 and divides the weight body into a plurality of weight body elements. The separated weight element is configured to be engageable with and disengageable from at least another one weight element, and in the engagement / disengagement structure, one element has a convex portion capable of elastic deformation and the other has the convex portion. Is characterized in that it has a concave portion that can be engaged with, and has a sloped surface that is inclined in at least one of the sides in the operation direction that disengages the convex portion and the concave portion, and the convex portion can ride over the concave portion. Providing a basket. Further, in claim 2, the inclined surface is provided on a side portion on one side in the left-right direction, and opposite side portions of the side portion are opposed to each other so that the convex portion does not get over the concave portion. To configure.

Since one weight element has a convex portion which can be elastically deformed and at least another one has a concave portion which can be engaged with the convex portion, only a linear insertion operation or a rotation operation, or With this combination, the convex portion and the concave portion can be engaged with each other in about one stroke or two strokes, and at least either side has an inclined surface inclined in the operation direction for disengaging the concave portion and the convex portion. Then, since the convex portion can ride over the concave portion, the engagement can be disengaged by simply operating with a predetermined force in the direction of the inclined surface, and the weight of the weight can be quickly adjusted. Claim 2
Then, the inclined surface is provided on one side portion in the left-right direction, and the side portions on the opposite side of the side portions are configured so that their end surfaces are opposed to each other so that the convex portion does not get over the concave portion. So 1
When the weight element of is engaged with the concave portion by rotating in the direction of the opposite side portion, even if the rotational force in this direction is strong, the convex portion is prevented from coming off the concave portion, and it may not go too far. To be prevented. Therefore, even if it is operated randomly, the engagement can be surely performed, and the reliability is enhanced.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a basket according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of an assembling process. The inner cylinder 10 and the outer cylinder 12 are made of translucent synthetic resin. The shank is scooped at the front end opening 10A of the inner cylinder 10 and is inserted into the outer cylinder in the direction of the arrow in FIG. A groove 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the inner cylinder 10 to form a tongue-shaped piece 22 which is elastically deformable by the elastic action of synthetic resin in the radial direction of the cylinder, and an engaging protrusion 22A is provided at the tip thereof. ing.

On the other hand, the engaging hole 1 is provided at a predetermined position below the outer cylinder 12.
2A is provided, and a lid portion 12T is attached to the upper portion. A ring member 18 is attached to the fishing line. An annular member 16 is screwed onto the outer periphery of the lower portion, and this adjusts the size of the opening of the cage. Further, the upper weight element 14A of the weight body 14 is attached and fixed to the lower portion 10K of the inner cylinder 10 by the screw member 13.

When the inner cylinder is scooped and inserted into the outer cylinder 12 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, the state shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. That is, the regulating portion 12S2 is provided at a predetermined depth position on the inner circumference of the outer cylinder 12.
Is provided in a ring shape, and the engaging projection 22A abuts on the ring to restrict the insertion of the inner cylinder. When the inner cylinder is rotated in this state, the engagement projection is elastically engaged with the engagement hole 12A, and both cylinders are superposed and integrated. After that, the ring member 18
Attach it to the fishing line and throw it into the sea. At this time, the weight 14 is placed in the lower part 10K of the car body (which is also the lower part of the inner cylinder 10 in this case) so that the weight 14 is submerged in the sea.

The weight body 14 is divided into upper and lower parts, and an upper weight body element 14A fixed to a lower part 10K of an inner cylinder made of synthetic resin and a lower weight body engaged with the upper weight body element 14A by a detachable structure described later. And a body element 14B. Mainly referring to FIG. 2, the upper half of the cylindrical body 10KC, which is made of synthetic resin and is continuous with the lower portion 10K, on the inner peripheral side of the annular weight body formed of lead is A pair of vertically elongated grooves 14K are formed as engagement recesses that are long in the direction. On the other hand, the lower weight element 14B is provided with a pair of plate-shaped projecting pieces made of synthetic resin and having elastically deformable legs 14L standing above the lead portion of the weight body. Engaging projection 14T on the tip
Are formed.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the leg portion 14L, and FIG. 4 is a front view thereof. In the front view, the right side portion 14T2 in the left-right direction of the convex portion 14T does not form an inclined surface, and the opposite left side portion is low in the D1 direction and high in the D2 direction. 14T1 inclined to
Is formed. Further, an inclined surface 14T0 is formed at the upper end portion so as to descend from the front rear toward the front front lower direction. Therefore, the weight element 14B is replaced by the other weight element 14B.
When inserting from below into the cylindrical body 10KC of A, the insertion can be smoothly started by the guiding action of the inclined surface 14T0, and the leg 14L can be further inserted while elastically deforming toward the inside of the cylindrical body. When the stepped portion 14BD of 14B comes into contact with the element 14A to regulate the insertion and then the element 14B is rotated, the convex portion 14T elastically engages with the concave portion 14K.

In the case of this turning operation, the arrow D2 shown in FIG.
When the convex portion 14T is engaged with the concave portion 14K, the convex portion 14T is restricted from climbing over the concave portion 14K by the action of the end surface of the right side portion 14T2 of the convex portion 14T when rotated in the direction. It is possible to prevent the convex portion from coming off the concave portion by further rotating by the momentum of the rotating operation of 14B. Therefore, the element 14B can be easily engaged and assembled. Also,
When the weight element 14B is twisted in the direction of arrow D1 in FIG. 4 when it is desired to be removed, the convex portion 14T is removed from the concave portion 14K along the inclined surface by the action of the inclined surface 14T1.
It can be easily disengaged and removed. Since the lower end portion of the convex portion 14T is not provided with an inclined surface so that it can be sufficiently locked to the lower end edge portion of the concave portion 14K, separation even when thrown into the sea after assembly is prevented.

The weight body 14 has a through hole in the center of each of the elements 14A and 14B. On the other hand, a shaft body 24 is provided upright in the lower portion of the inner cylinder 10, and a valve body 26 that is vertically movable along the shaft body is provided. Therefore, if the basket is thrown into the sea, seawater flows through the through hole of the weight body 14 as shown by the arrow in FIG.
Push up. Therefore, the valve body 26 blocks the inside of the lower part of the inner cylinder until the cage can reach the seabed, so that the inside cage can be prevented from escaping during the sinking.

In the above, the weight body 14 is divided into the upper and lower parts, but it may be divided into three or more parts, or may be divided in the vertical direction, but it is required to be detachable. . For example, when it is divided into three elements A, B, and C in the vertical direction in order, the element B may be configured to be detachable from the element A, and the element C may be configured to be detachable from the element B. For example, the elements A, B, and C can be used in some combinations. In addition to the above, there are three elements A, B, and C, but the element B is configured to be detachable from the element A, and the element C is also configured to be detachable from the element A, so that only the element A is used. In addition, the combination of the elements A and B and the combination of the elements A and C may be used.

Further, although there are three elements A, B and C,
The element B is configured to be removable from the fixed element A, and the element C
If the element A and the element B are detachably configured, they can be used in a combination of four types. For example, if element A is a fixed weight element of No. 60, element B is No. 20, and element C is No. 40, then
It is possible to adjust four types of weights of No. 80, No. 100, No. 120.
