PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a fishhook in which stress is hardly concentrated on a root part of a barb, any trouble on a fishing line at a ring part is hardly caused and also rust is prevented from gathering.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing a fishhook comprises a kneading process 20 of kneading metal power and binder to constitute a compound an injection molding process 30 of injecting the compound to a fishhook mold a defatting process 40 of removing the binder from the compound hardened in a fishhook shape and a sintering process of sintering the remaining metal powder. At that time, a mold having a shape corresponding to the fishhook having the ring formed into a complete ring shape with no gaps, and a barb projecting from its tip end part is used.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】カエシの根元部分に応力が集中しにくく、かつ、カン部分における釣糸の問題が生じにくいとともにサビの発生を回避できる、釣針の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】金属粉とバインダーとを混練してコンパウンドを構成する混練工程20と、コンパウンドを釣針の鋳型に射出する射出成型工程30と、釣針の形状に固めたコンパウンドからバインダーを除去する脱脂工程40と、残った金属粉を焼き固める焼結工程とを有する製造方法で釣針を製造する。その際、切れ目の無い完全な環状に形成されたカンと先端部から突出するカエシとを有する釣針に対応する形状の鋳型を用いる。【選択図】図1
