FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a phrase according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a fishing gear (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a buoy (Buoy. 110), a net (120), a buoyancy body (130), and a pinger (Pinger, 140).

The buoy (110) floats on water and informs the manager of the location of the fishing gear (100) to the outside. The buoy (110) is implemented with a material having a density less than 1 (e.g., Styrofoam, etc.) so that the fishing gear (100) can float on water when placed at a specific location. Since the buoy (110) floats on water, the fishing gear (100) manager can check the location of the fishing gear (100) without necessarily checking the water.

Additionally, the buoy (110) may be equipped with a sensor (not shown) and a communication unit (not shown) to perform additional operations. In addition to informing the outside of its location, the buoy (110) may include additional configurations to perform additional operations. The buoy (110) may additionally include a communication unit (not shown) to transmit its location, for example, a GPS signal, to the manager's terminal without the manager having to go out to the sea to check. In addition, the buoy (110) may additionally include a sensor (not shown) to sense information that the manager wants to check at sea, for example, water temperature or the speed of the current, and may additionally transmit the sensing value to the manager's terminal.

The buoy (110) is connected to a net (120) by a connecting line (115) and indicates the position of the net (120).

The net (120) restricts the movement of the target object (mainly fish) to be captured, thereby enabling the target object to be captured. The net (120) includes countless holes (not shown) smaller in size than the target object to be captured, allowing organisms or seawater smaller than the target object to pass through, but preventing the target object from passing through, thereby capturing the target object.

The net (120) includes a step line (124) formed at the bottom and a buoy line (128) formed at the top. The step line (124) and the buoy line (128) are formed to be relatively thicker than other components of the net (120), so as to support the shape of the net (120) and enable a buoyancy body (130) or a fin (140) to be placed on the net (120).

The buoyancy body (130) is installed at preset intervals on the buoyancy line (128) formed at the top of the net (120) to provide buoyancy to the net (120). The buoyancy body (130) is configured to have a density smaller than that of water and to supply buoyancy. At this time, the buoyancy body (130) is installed at preset intervals on the buoyancy line (128) to cause the top of the net (120) to receive force in the direction of the sea surface due to buoyancy.

In contrast, the fins (140) are mounted on the slings (124) formed at the lowest end of the net (120) at preset intervals to apply an external force to the net (120). The external force applied by the fins (140) is a force that acts in the opposite direction of buoyancy, and allows the net (120) to remain stationary (in the direction of height or water depth) without rising or falling in the fully spread state. The fins (140) are mounted on the slings (124) at appropriate intervals so that they can supply a force of the same magnitude as the buoyancy provided by the buoyancy body (130) to the net (120) in the opposite direction of the buoyancy. Accordingly, the net (120) can remain stationary without moving in the corresponding direction while maintaining a state in which it is fully spread in the direction of water depth or height.

The finger (140) may additionally include an ultrasonic transmitter inside. Even if the buoy (110) can supply a GPS signal as its own location to a manager terminal (not shown), the GPS signal has relatively low accuracy, so that it may be determined that it is the same location within a certain radius. Accordingly, even if the manager sets sail based on the location information transmitted by the buoy (110), there are cases where it is difficult to easily find the fishing gear (100). Therefore, the finger (140) may additionally include an ultrasonic transmitter inside, so that it can relatively accurately provide its own location to a manager terminal that approaches nearby.

The fin (140) has a structure that allows it to be directly mounted on the line (124) of the net (120) at any position of the net (120). The fin (140) can be directly mounted on the line (124) at an appropriate position, rather than moving from one end of the line (124) of the net (120) to the other end and being placed at an appropriate position. Accordingly, the convenience of fishermen or fishing gear manufacturers has been improved.

The specific structure of the finger (140) is illustrated in Figures 2 to 5.

FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating the structure of a finger according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a drawing illustrating a finger and housing combination according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the finger (140a) according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a through hole (210), a housing (220), and a rotating part (230).

The through hole (210) is formed at both ends of the finger (140a), more specifically, the housing (220), and penetrates the outside and inside of the housing when the two housings (220a, 220b) are combined. When the two housings (220a, 220b) are combined, the string (124) is combined with the finger (140a) in such a way that it flows into the inside of the housing through one of the through holes (210) and flows out of the outside of the housing through the other through hole (210).

The housing (220) allows the finger (140a) to be coupled to the string (124) and allows a separate component to be built into the interior.

The housing (220) is implemented with two symmetrical configurations (220a, 220b), and has a structure in which the two can be combined or separated. That is, the two configurations are combined so that one end, which is symmetrical to the other, is centered on the rotating part (230), but can rotate. Accordingly, since the one end is symmetrical to the other in the rotating part (230), the opposite ends, which are symmetrical to the other, rotate in a form in which they are combined by moving away from or closer to each other centered on the rotating part (230).

When each component (220a, 220b) of the housing (220) is combined, a through hole (210) is formed at both ends. Accordingly, only half of the shape (semicircular shape) of the through hole (210) is implemented at both ends (220a, 220b) of each component of the housing (220), and the through hole (210) is formed by combining the two (220a, 220b).

The housing (220) has a certain space that can include a configuration inside in a combined form. Accordingly, a configuration such as a weight (not shown) can be included in the space inside the housing (220) so that a force opposing the buoyancy of the buoyant body (130) can be applied to the net (120) by having a certain weight. In addition, as described above, by embedding an ultrasonic transmitter (not shown), an ultrasonic signal can be transmitted to a manager terminal (not shown).

Since the housing (220) has such a structure, it can be mounted and connected to the string (124) at any position of the string (124). However, it can only be connected, and it is difficult to be fixed in a connected state. Accordingly, a housing assembly (300) is additionally arranged at both ends of the housing (220) to fix the connected state of the housing (220). The housing assembly (300) includes a fastener (310) and a fastener (320).

The clamp (310) has two ends that move away from or closer to each other, and the diameter of the space formed inside the clamp (310) is variable. A fastener (320) is attached to both ends of the clamp (310) to prevent changes in the diameter of the space formed inside.

The latch (320) is connected to both ends of the fastener (310) and prevents the diameter of the space formed inside the fastener (310) from changing.

In this way, as the fastener (310) and the latch (320) are arranged and connected to both ends of the housing (220), the housing (220) mounted on the string (124) can be fixed while mounted on the string (124) without the two configurations being spread apart again.

Since the finger (140a) has this structure, it can be directly connected and fixed to any position of the foot string (124).

FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating the structure of a fin according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrating a fin and housing combination according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the finger (140b) according to the second embodiment of the present invention further includes screw threads (410) in the through hole (210), the housing (220), and the rotating part (230).

The through hole (210), housing (220) and rotating part (230) have the same configuration as those of the finger (140a). However, a screw thread (410) is formed at one end (of the outer surface) of the housing (220).

The housing assembly (500) is joined to the position where the screw thread (410) is formed.

The housing assembly (500) is implemented as a hollow cylinder, and has screw threads (510) formed inside. Accordingly, it can be combined with screw threads (410) formed at one end of the housing (220), and when combined, the two components (220a, 220b) of the housing (220) are fixed by preventing them from spreading out.

The housing assembly (500) has a shape in which a portion (520) is opened in the circumferential direction. The opened portion is formed to be at least larger than the diameter of the string (124), so that the housing assembly (500) can also enter any portion of the string (124) through the opened portion.

Meanwhile, the housing assembly (500) is implemented with a material that does not have elasticity, or at least the elasticity of the housing assembly (500) is implemented to a degree that it can withstand the force of the two components (220a, 220b) of the housing (220) trying to spread apart. Since the housing assembly (500) has the elasticity of the aforementioned degree, even if a part (520) has an open shape, it can be fixed to the screw thread (410) of the housing (220).

The above description is merely an illustrative description of the technical idea of the present embodiment, and those with ordinary skill in the art to which the present embodiment belongs may make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential characteristics of the present embodiment. Therefore, the present embodiments are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present embodiment, but to explain it, and the scope of the technical idea of the present embodiment is not limited by these embodiments.
