Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

The invention provides a fishing rod and a handle member with simple structure, which are not easy to be obstructed by a power cord of an electric reel.

Means for solving the problems

The fishing rod according to the present invention includes a reel seat. An electric reel is arranged on the reel seat. The fishing rod has a line supporting surface and a circumferential groove on the peripheral surface closer to the rod tail than the reel seat, the line supporting surface is sunken towards the center side than other parts on the whole peripheral surface, and the circumferential groove is used for transversely cutting the line supporting surface.

According to the fishing rod with the structure, the power line of the electric reel can be made to follow the line supporting surface. The power supply line is prevented from being displaced in the circumferential direction by the line support surface. Further, a band-like body such as a rod band can be wound around the circumferential groove, or an elastic ring-like body can be attached to the circumferential groove. The power supply wire can be pressed and held on the wire support surface by these band-shaped or ring-shaped bodies.

Preferably, the line support surface extends in the direction of the centre line of the fishing rod.

Preferably, a plurality of circumferential grooves are formed at intervals in the direction of the center line of the fishing rod.

Preferably, the fishing rod includes a rod blank and a grip member covering the rod blank, and the grip member has a line support surface and a circumferential groove formed therein.

The grip member for a fishing rod according to the present invention is a grip member to be attached to a rod blank of a fishing rod, and has a line support surface and a circumferential groove formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, the line support surface being recessed toward a center side over an entire outer circumferential surface thereof with respect to other portions, the circumferential groove intersecting the line support surface.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

As described above, the power supply line can be pressed and held on the line support surface by attaching the band-shaped body or the annular body to the peripheral groove. Therefore, the power cord of the electric reel is not easy to be blocked, and the fishing rod structure can be simplified. Further, the band-shaped body or the ring-shaped body attached to the circumferential groove is less likely to be an obstacle.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a grip member for a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention and a fishing rod including the grip member will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 7. Hereinafter, the rod tip side is referred to as the front side, the rod tail side is referred to as the rear side, and the direction of the center line of the fishing rod is referred to as the front-rear direction. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the fishing rod 1 of the present embodiment includes a reel seat 2 for attaching various reels. The reel seat 2 is disposed at a position spaced a predetermined length forward from the rear end (end on the rod tail side) of the fishing rod 1. An electric reel 3 can be attached to the reel stand 2. The electric reel 3 is positioned above the fishing rod 1 when it is used, i.e., when it is fishing. The electric reel 3 is connected to an external power source not shown through a power cord 4.

The fishing rod 1 includes a rod blank 5. The rod blank 5 is, for example, cylindrical, that is, hollow, but may be solid. The rod blank 5 is formed of, for example, a prepreg using carbon fibers or the like as reinforcing fibers. The fishing rod 1 may have a one-piece structure including only one rod body, or may have a structure in which a plurality of rod bodies are joined together. When the rod bodies are jointed, the tail rod is provided with a reel seat 2. The reel holder 2 is fixedly attached to the rod blank 5. The fishing rod 1 includes a grip member 6 on the rear side of the reel seat 2. The grip member 6 extends to the rear end of the fishing rod 1. The grip member 6 is a portion to be held by a hand or held under the armpit of an angler while carrying the fishing rod 1. The grip member 6 is of any length. The grip member 6 may be provided on the rear side of the reel seat 2 without a gap, or may be provided at a gap from the reel seat 2 to the rear side. In the present embodiment, the grip member 6 is provided at a distance from the reel seat 2 toward the rear side.

The grip member 6 is separate from the rod blank 5. The grip member 6 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rod blank 5 so as to cover the rod blank 5. The grip member 6 has a cylindrical shape with both ends open, or a cylindrical shape with the front end open and the rear end closed. Fig. 1 to 5 show the grip member 6 of the present embodiment in a single body. The grip member 6 of the present embodiment is a tubular member having an open front end and a closed rear end. The grip member 6 is made of various grip materials. Examples of the grip material include foamed EVA and cork.

The diameter of the grip member 6 may be substantially constant over the entire length, but in the present embodiment, the diameter of the rear portion is slightly larger. The grip member 6 has a large diameter portion 11 having a slightly larger diameter at the rear. That is, the grip member 6 includes: a main portion 10 occupying most of the entire length and having a substantially fixed diameter; and a large diameter portion 11 continuous on the rear side of the main portion 10 and having a larger diameter than the main portion 10.

A wire support surface 20 and a pair of front and rear

peripheral grooves

21 and 22 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip member 6. The wire support surface 20 extends linearly in the front-rear direction, which is the direction along the center line of the grip member 6. The wire support surface 20 is recessed more toward the center side than other portions in the entire outer peripheral surface of the grip member 6. The wire support surface 20 is groove-shaped extending in the front-rear direction. The wire support surface 20 is formed over a substantial portion of the entire length of the grip member 6. The string supporting surface 20 preferably reaches the front end surface 6a (end surface on the rod tip side) of the grip member 6. The thread supporting surface 20 may reach the rear end surface 6b (end surface on the rod tail side) of the grip member 6, but in the present embodiment, the thread supporting surface 20 is spaced forward from the rear end surface 6b of the grip member 6 without reaching the rear end surface 6 b. The wire support surface 20 may be a flat surface, but in the present embodiment, it is a curved surface that curves toward the center of the grip member 6. The portion of the grip member 6 on which the linear support surface 20 is formed over the entire circumference is thinner than the other portions. The width of the wire support surface 20 is preferably substantially the same as the diameter of the power wire 4 or wider than the diameter of the power wire 4, but may be narrower than the diameter of the power wire 4. The dimension from the center of the grip member 6 to the string supporting surface 20 may be fixed over the entire length of the string supporting surface 20, or may vary in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the dimension from the center of the grip member 6 to the wire support surface 20 is substantially constant over the entire length of the wire support surface 20. The wire seating surface 20 extends to the large diameter portion 11. Since the grip member 6 has the large diameter portion 11, the wire support surface 20 is widened in width in the large diameter portion 11.

The number and arrangement of the

peripheral grooves

21, 22 are arbitrary. In the present embodiment, a pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the grip member 6. The pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22 are separated forward and backward. The rod band 50 can be wound around the pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22. Therefore, the width of the pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22 is set to a level that the rod band 50 can be fitted into, and the depth of the pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22 is preferably equal to or greater than the thickness of one rod band 50. The pair of

circumferential grooves

21, 22 intersect the support surface 20. The wire support surface 20 may be divided into front and rear portions by the

peripheral grooves

21 and 22, but may not be divided.

The front side circumferential groove 21 (first circumferential groove) is located in a front side portion of the entire length of the wire support surface 20, and the rear side circumferential groove 22 (second circumferential groove) is located in a rear side portion of the entire length of the wire support surface 20. The front side circumferential groove 21 is located in the vicinity of the front end portion of the wire supporting surface 20. The front circumferential groove 21 is located at a position spaced apart from the front end surface 6a toward the rear side of the grip member 6 by a predetermined distance. The front side circumferential groove 21 intersects the line support surface 20, whereby the line support surface 20 is locally narrowed in width in the front side circumferential groove 21.

The rear peripheral groove 22 is located in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the wire support surface 20. The rear circumferential groove 22 is formed in the large diameter portion 11 of the grip member 6. The rear circumferential groove 22 is located at a position of the grip member 6 that is spaced a predetermined distance forward from the rear end surface 6 b. The rear circumferential groove 22 intersects the line support surface 20, whereby the line support surface 20 is locally narrowed in width in the rear circumferential groove 22.

When the wire support surface 20 is an upper surface of the grip member 6, the grip member 6 is formed with the inwardly-tapered portions 23 on both left and right side surfaces thereof, and the inwardly-tapered portions 23 are formed by forming a part of an outer peripheral surface of the grip member 6 in a flat shape. The retraction part may be a D-CUT surface. By forming the inward-contracting portions 23 on both the left and right side surfaces, the dimension of the grip member 6 in the left-right direction can be reduced. Therefore, the grip member 6 is easily gripped when the grip member 6 is held between the armpits, and the grip member 6 is not easily rotated in the circumferential direction to stabilize the fishing rod 1. The indented portion 23 has a shape that is long in the front-rear direction. The indented portion 23 is located between the front side circumferential groove 21 and the rear side circumferential groove 22. The inward-contracting portion 23 is formed in a majority of a length region in a section from the front-side circumferential groove 21 to the rear-side circumferential groove 22.

Fig. 6 and 7 show a use state of the fishing rod including the grip member 6. Fig. 6 and 7 show a case where the electric reel 3 of the right handle specification is attached to a fishing rod. The electric reel 3 of the right handle specification has a handle 7 on the right side in plan view. When the grip member 6 is attached to the rod blank 5, it is preferable that the string supporting surface 20 is directed upward, that is, the string supporting surface 20 is directed in the same direction as the electric reel 3. However, the wire support surface 20 may be directed obliquely upward or sideward, or the wire support surface 20 may be directed downward.

The power cord 4 can be fixed to the grip member 6 by a cord holder. As the string holder, for example, a rod string 50 (band-shaped body) can be used. In fig. 6 and 7, the rod band 50 is shown with a plurality of dots. First, the power cord 4 is placed on the cord support surface 20 of the grip member 6. Since the wire support surface 20 is recessed toward the center side than the other portion of the outer peripheral surface of the grip member 6, the power cord 4 can be stably placed on the wire support surface 20, and the power cord 4 is less likely to be displaced in the circumferential direction. Further, since the cord support surface 20 extends in the front-rear direction, the power cord 4 can be easily elongated in the front-rear direction by placing the power cord 4 on the cord support surface 20.

Thereafter, the rod band 50 is wound around the front circumferential groove 21 and the rear circumferential groove 22, respectively. The rod band 50 is wound around the power cord 4 from above, and the power cord 4 is pressed and fixed to the cord support surface 20. The rod band 50 preferably has stretchability. If the rod band 50 has elasticity, the power cord 4 can be firmly pressed and held on the cord support surface 20 by the rod band 50. The rod band 50 preferably has a hook and loop fastener, and can be easily held in a wound state.

Since the rod band 50 is fitted into the front circumferential groove 21 and the rear circumferential groove 22, the rod band 50 is less likely to protrude radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the grip member 6. Therefore, the rod band 50 is less likely to catch a hand or the like, and the handle member 6 is less likely to be caught or caught in the armpit. Further, since the amount of protrusion of the rod band 50 from the outer peripheral surface of the grip member 6 is small, the rod band 50 is less likely to fall off, and the state in which the power cord 4 is held by the grip member 6 can be maintained. Further, since the rod band 50 can be wound around two positions, the power cord 4 can be firmly wound along the grip member 6. Further, since the rod band 50 is fitted into the

circumferential grooves

21, 22, the rod band 50 can be reliably wound at a predetermined position, and the rod band 50 is less likely to be displaced in the front-rear direction. Since the line support surface 20 is positioned on the upper surface of the grip member 6 and the power line 4 extends along the upper surface of the grip member 6, the power line 4 is less likely to be an obstacle and a load is less likely to be applied to the power line 4 when the grip member 6 is held in an armpit to hold a fishing rod.

As the thread holder, for example, a ring body (not shown) having elasticity may be fitted into the

peripheral grooves

21 and 22.
