Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An assembly for mounting a fishing reel by a fixed sleeve secured to one end of the cylindrical body and a slidable sleeve movably mounted in opposite relation to the fixed sleeve. A conventional key way which has been em-ployed as a guide way for the slidable sleeve, is used as a guide way for locating the fixed sleeve, which aligns with the slidable sleeve precisely and economically by extending the key way to the end of the cylindrical body. The mounting is of good quality yet cheap to produce.

Description
,j The present invention relates to an assembly for mounting a fishing reel to a fishing rod.
A known assembly for mounting a fishing reel comprises a cylindrical body to fit over a fishing rod. A
fixed sleeve i5 fitted over one end oE the cylindrical body.
A slidable sleeve fits over the cylindrical body in opposed relation to the fixed sleeve. A screw ring is threaded on the cylindrical body.
When mounting a reel onto a fishing rod with the use of such an assembly, one end of a reel foot is inserted into a hood of the fixed sleeve and a hood of the slidable sleeve is fitted over the other end and subsequently clamped by a screw ring behind the slidable sleeve. ~ -In such an assembly the slidable sleeve is usually of two types. One type has no guide mechanism of the slidable sleeve which can freely rotate around the cylin-drical body~ The other type has a guide mechanism, for example a key way on its body and an inner projection on the slidable sleeve which prevents rotation of the sleeve. ~-A comparison of these two types from the viewpoint of the reel-mounting operation indicates that the latter type is superior.
Despite its excellent performance, however, the latter type has been used in a very limited field because of a substantial increase in the production cost compared with the former type. In most cases, users are compelled to use the type in which the slidable sleeve is fixed in place.
When the fixed sleeve is fixedly mounted onto the cylindrical body, the hood of the fixed sleeve must correc-tly align with the hood of the slidable sleeveO Such locating of the fixed sleeve involves technical difficulties and takes -time, thus rendering it impossible to raise pro-duction efficiency. In addition, the rate of reject pro-duction is high. These two factors are together responsible for increases in the manufacturing cost. In this connec-tion, it is noted that the type where the slidable sleeve is rotatable can be manufactured with good productivity with no rejects and the fixed sleeve can easily be mounted onto the cylindrical body regardless of its fixing position.
The present invention seeks to obviate the above two defects. That is, the present invention seeks to provide an inexpensive but good quality assembly for mounting reels by simplifying the mounting operation thereof as well as saving the assembling cost and minimizing the rejection of goods after assembly.
Accordingly, the present invention is for mounting fishing reels, the assembly comprising a cylindric:al body ~0 having a longitudinally-extending key way formed t:herein, a first sleeve fixedly mounted upon the said body and having a projection extending into the key way, a second sleeve slidably mounted upon the body and having a projec-tion extending into the key way, -the said project:ions each being arranged to maintain its respective sleeve :i.n a predetermined rotational relationship with respect to the other, and a screw ring rota-tably mounted upon the body and in screw threaded engagement with a threaded portion of the body, the screw ring being in rotational erlgagement with the second sleeve for movement of the second sleeve ...
along the body.
With the invention it is possible to locate the fixed sleeve at a desired position easily and economically.
Further features and advantages of the present invention will be made in the following description, re-ference being made to the accompanying drawings illustrating one embodiment thereof. In the drawings:-Figure l is a cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a bottom view of a cylindrical body of the preferred embodiment; and Figure 3 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In the drawings a cylindrical body 1 to be mounted onto a fishing rod (not shown), is provided on its outer surface with a key way 2 extending substantially from its rear to its front end. The key way 2 has two functions.
First, it acts as a guide way for a fixed sleeve 3 from the rear end of the cylindrical body l to its front end 4.
; 20 Secondly, it acts as a guide way for a slidable sleeve 5.
The fixed sleeve 3 and the slidable sleeve 5 are provided on their inner surfaces with projections 6 and 6', respect-ively, which are in turn in slidable engagement with the key way 2.
The fixed sleeve 3 is slipped on and tightly fitted over the front end portion 4 of the cylindrical body l for its fixation. In order to permit sufficient fixation, this end portion has an outside diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of the fixed sleeve 3.
Of course, the rest of the outside diameter of the cylindrical body 1 is made slightly smaller than the inside ,.. :

diameter of the fixing sleeve 3. Moreover, the cylindrical body 1 is provided at its end with a collar 7 integral with cylindrical body 1 to abut the fixed sleeve 3 when it is forced over the body for fixation. This construction prevents disengagement of the fixing sleeve 3 from the cylindrical body 1, correctly locates the same and avoids disengagement of the fixing sleeve 3 during use.
The slidable sleeve 5 is opposed to the fixed sleeve 3 and is mounted such that it moves along the rest of the body. The mechanism for moving the slidable sleeve 5 comprises an external threaded portion 8 provided in the vicinity of, and on a given range of, the rear end of the cylindrical body 1, and a screw ring 9 formed of, e.g., synthetic resin, which is in threaded engagement with the external thread portion. Turning the screw ring 9 moves the slidable sleeve 5 in the forward directionO It will be noted that the sliding sleeve 5 may be separated from or connected to the screw ring 9. When they are connected to each other, it is required that one be rotatably snap-fitted over the other.
As described in detail, locating of the fixing sleeve according to the present invention is carried out with the aid of the key way extending substantially from the rear to the front end of the cylindrical body. This pre-ven-ts occurrence of inferior goods which, in the prior art, have been caused by misalignment. Firm fixation of the fixed sleeve can easily and firmly be attained by pressure-fitting.
With these constructions and effects, the present invention provides a fishing reel-mounting assembly which is -of high quality and is suitable for mass production at a low cost. It will, of course, be understood that the operation for mounting the reel onto the fishing rod with, the use of this assembly may be effected in known manner, and~ excels in performance as the fixed sleeve is located relati~e to the slidable sleeve as described above.
