PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a desired ground bait container capable of housing ground bait in air and in water, after being cast, and surely scattering the ground bait at a scheduled target point in the water.SOLUTION: This ground bait container 1 is provided by equipping its body case 6 for housing the ground bait M and freely passing water through an engaging part for engaging the body case 6 capable of sliding along fishing line a pair of blocking walls 12, 12 consisting of a bottom plate part 12B and hanging down plate parts 12A and arranged separated, to both sides at the inside of the body case 6 a release port 13 of the ground bait M, formed in between opposing hanging plate parts 12A, 12A and a pair of opening and closing plates 14, 14 for opening and closing the release port 13 from its lower direction, arranging it by installing a float 16 and a weight 17 at the power point part 14B of the opening and closing plate 14. By taking a part for opening and closing the release port 13 as a site for action part 14A and a shaft 9 as a fulcrum to constitute, such that the floating power of the float 16 becomes larger than the gravity which acts on the weight 17 in water, a blocking space 18 for blocking the power point part 14B on opening the opening and closing plate 14 from the ground bait M is formed, in the lower direction of each of the blocking walls 12.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】投てき後の空中や水中では撒餌を収容しており、水中における予定の目標ポイントで撒餌を確実に撒くことのできる撒餌器が望まれている。【解決手段】撒餌器1は、撒餌Mを収容する通水自由な本体ケース6と、本体ケース6を釣糸に沿ってスライド可能に係止する係止部と、底板部12Bおよび垂下板部12Aから成っていて本体ケース6内の両側に離間配置された1対の遮蔽壁12,12と、対向する垂下板部12A,12A間に形成された撒餌Mの放出口13と、放出口13を下方から開閉する1対の開閉板14,14とを備えてなり、放出口13を開閉する部分を作用点部14Aとし軸9を支点とする開閉板14の、力点部14Bに、浮子16と錘17を配備し、水中において錘17にかかる重力よりも浮子16の浮力が大きくなるように構成し、各遮蔽壁12の下方に、各開閉板14が開いたときの力点部14Bを撒餌Mから遮蔽する遮蔽空間18を形成したものである。【選択図】図5
