Description

Handle, and reel seat and fishing rod with handle

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a structure of a fishing rod and a reel seat, and more particularly, to a structure of a handle provided to these.

Background

For example, in sea fishing using a dual-bearing reel, a fisherman grips (so-called grips) a reel seat and a reel with a rear end portion of a fishing rod held in an armpit, operates the fishing rod and the reel, and performs various actions of sea fishing. In order to make such a fishing rod and reel operate well, a handle is provided at the fishing rod.

The handle generally has a front handle provided on the reel seat and a rear handle provided on the rear end of the fishing rod. The shapes of the front grip and the rear grip are designed to improve the grip and the operation of the fishing rod (see, for example, patent documents 1 and 2 and non-patent document 1).

Patent document 1: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2019-146536.

Patent document 2: japanese patent No. 6000107.

Non-patent document 1: the 2020 island Fishing gear catalog page 126 (2020 SHIMARNO Fishing tack catalog P126).

The conventional handle is designed to enable a majority of anglers to perform good gripping and operation of a fishing rod. However, since the sizes of the physique and the hand of the angler are various, in order to achieve a good grip at a high level, the design of the handle is not limited to the design that is considered to be a compromise for the angler with the standard physique.

Disclosure of Invention

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod and a reel seat that can easily replace a handle in accordance with the size of the body and hand of the fisherman without changing the performance of the fishing rod, and to provide a structure of the handle used for the same.

(1) The handle of the present invention includes a cylindrical body through which a blank constituting a fishing rod is slidably inserted, a handle body provided on an outer peripheral side of the cylindrical body, and a fixing ring detachably engaged with the cylindrical body, thereby fixing the handle body to the cylindrical body.

The handle has a cylindrical body, a handle body, and a fixing ring. The cylindrical body is fitted to the blank and covers the outer peripheral surface of the blank. The handle body is embedded in the cylindrical body. The shape of the handle body is not particularly limited, but various shapes may be designed to achieve a desired grip. The fixing ring is engaged with the cylindrical body, and the fixing ring and the cylindrical body cooperate with each other to fix the handle body to the cylindrical body. The fixing ring is disengaged from the cylindrical body, and thereby the handle body is disengaged from the cylindrical body. That is, the handle body can be replaced with another handle body.

(2) Preferably, the handle body is a hollow member.

In this configuration, a space is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body and the inner peripheral surface of the handle body. Therefore, even if the outer dimension of the handle main body is increased, the weight of the handle main body is suppressed, and the weight of the handle is reduced.

(3) Preferably, one side of the cylindrical body is screwed to the other side of the fixing ring, and the fixing ring includes a 1 st seat portion with which one end of the handle body abuts.

In this configuration, the operator can easily attach and detach the fixed ring to and from the cylindrical body by simply rotating the fixed ring. Therefore, the handle body can be easily detached. Further, since the handle main body is mounted on the tubular body in a state of being placed on the 1 st seat portion of the fixed ring, the assembling work of the handle main body is also easy.

(4) Preferably, a 2 nd seat portion with which the other end of the handle body abuts is formed on an outer edge of the cylindrical body.

In this configuration, the handle body can be positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the tubular body (i.e., the position where the 2 nd seat portion is formed) when fitted to the tubular body. This simplifies the assembly work of the handle main body.

(5) Preferably, the cylindrical body has a finger portion for assisting the screw engagement with the fixing ring.

In this configuration, when the fixing ring is attached and detached, the operator can clamp the finger or the tool to the finger-catching portion, so that the operation of the fixing ring is simple.

(6) An end surface member may be attached to an end surface of the fixing ring.

The end face of the fixing ring attached to the cylindrical body is exposed. By providing the end face member on the end face, the mixing of water and foreign matter into the fixing ring is prevented. Further, the handle functions as a so-called handle tail end, and the handle is more aesthetically pleasing, and the finish is high as a product.

(7) The reel seat of the present invention is provided with a reel seat main body which is inserted in an axial direction by a blank constituting a fishing rod and to which a fishing reel is assembled, a cylindrical body which is movably inserted by the blank, a handle main body which is provided on an outer peripheral side of the cylindrical body, and a fixing ring which is detachably engaged with the cylindrical body in a state where the blank is movable in the axial direction, whereby the handle main body is fixed to the cylindrical body and is connected to an axial end of the reel seat main body.

The reel seat is also used as a handle and comprises a reel seat main body, a cylindrical body, a handle main body and a fixing ring. The reel seat body is attached to the blank member and holds the fishing reel. The cylindrical body is fitted to the blank and covers the outer peripheral surface of the blank. The handle body is embedded in the cylindrical body. The shape of the handle body is not particularly limited, but various shapes may be designed to achieve a desired grip. The fixing ring is engaged with the cylindrical body, and the fixing ring and the cylindrical body cooperate with each other to fix the handle body to the cylindrical body. The fixing ring is disengaged from the cylindrical body, and thereby the handle body is disengaged from the cylindrical body. That is, the handle body can be replaced with another handle body.

(8) Preferably, an axial rear side of the fixing ring is screwed to an axial front side of the cylindrical body, and an axial front side of the fixing ring is screwed to the reel seat body.

In this configuration, the operator can easily attach and detach the fixed ring to and from the reel seat and the cylindrical body by simply rotating the fixed ring. Therefore, not only the replacement work of the handle body but also the replacement work of the handle unit constituted by the cylindrical body, the handle body and the fixed ring is easy.

Preferably, the fixing ring has a 1 st seat portion against which an axial front end portion of the handle main body abuts. In this case, since the handle main body is mounted to the tubular body in a state of being placed on the seat portion of the fixed ring, the assembling work of the handle main body is also easy.

Preferably, a 2 nd seat portion with which an axial rear side end portion of the handle body abuts is formed on an outer edge of the cylindrical body. In this case, the handle body can be positioned at a predetermined position (i.e., a position where the seat portion is formed) with respect to the cylindrical body when the handle body is fitted to the cylindrical body. This simplifies the assembly work of the handle body.

Preferably, the cylindrical body has a finger portion for assisting the screw engagement with the fixing ring. In this case, when the fixing ring is attached and detached, the operator can catch the finger or the tool on the finger-catching portion, so that the operation of the fixing ring is simple.

(9) The fishing rod of the present invention includes a cylindrical body through which a blank constituting the fishing rod is movably inserted, a grip main body provided on an outer peripheral side of the cylindrical body, a fixing ring detachably engaged with the cylindrical body in a state where a rear end portion of the blank is inserted in an axial direction, thereby fixing the grip main body to the cylindrical body, and an end surface member detachably connected to the rear end portion of the blank and detachably attached to an end surface on an axial rear side of the fixing ring.

The fishing rod comprises a blank, a cylindrical body, a handle body, a fixing ring and an end surface member. The cylindrical body is fitted to the blank and covers the outer peripheral surface of the blank. The handle body is embedded in the cylindrical body. The shape of the handle body is not particularly limited, but various shapes may be designed to achieve a desired grip. The fixing ring is engaged with the cylindrical body, and the fixing ring and the cylindrical body cooperate with each other to fix the handle body to the cylindrical body. The rear end of the blank is connected to an end face member attached to a fixing ring. That is, the handle unit including the cylindrical body, the handle body, and the fixing ring is attached to the blank member in a state of being supported by the end surface member. Therefore, the handle unit is attached to and detached from the blank by the end surface member being detached from the blank. The handle body is detached from the cylindrical body by detaching the fixing ring from the cylindrical body. That is, the handle unit can be replaced with another handle unit, and the handle body can be replaced with another handle body.

(10) Preferably, an axial front side of the fixed ring is screwed to an axial rear side of the tubular body, and the end surface member is fitted to the axial rear side of the fixed ring.

In this configuration, the end surface member is easily detached, so that the operator can easily attach and detach the handle unit. Further, the operator can easily attach and detach the fixing ring to and from the cylindrical body by simply rotating the fixing ring. Therefore, not only the replacement work of the handle body but also the replacement work of the handle unit constituted by the cylindrical body, the handle body and the fixed ring is easy.

Preferably, the fixing ring includes a 1 st seat portion with which an axial rear end portion of the handle main body abuts. In this case, since the handle main body is mounted to the tubular body in a state of being placed on the seat portion of the fixed ring, the assembling work of the handle main body is also easy.

Preferably, a 2 nd seat portion with which the axial front end portion of the handle body abuts is formed on an outer edge of the cylindrical body. In this case, the handle body can be positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the cylindrical body (i.e., a position where the seat portion is formed) when the handle body is fitted to the cylindrical body. This simplifies the assembly work of the handle body.

Preferably, the cylindrical body has a finger portion for assisting the screw engagement with the fixing ring. In this case, when the fixing ring is attached and detached, the operator can catch the finger or the tool at the finger-catching portion, so that the operation of the fixing ring is simple.

Effects of the invention

According to the present invention, since the handle or the handle body provided in the fishing rod can be replaced, the shape of the handle can be changed by the angler without changing the performance of the fishing rod according to the physique and the size of the hand.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. The present embodiment is merely one embodiment of the fishing rod of the present invention, and it is obvious that the embodiment can be changed within a range not changing the gist of the present invention.

1. Outline of fishing rod

The fishing rod 10 is applied to a dual-bearing type fishing reel, for example, used for sea fishing (ジギング). The fishing rod 10 includes a fishing rod body 11 (corresponding to a "blank" described in the claims), a reel seat 12 attached thereto, and a rear grip 13. In sea fishing, for example, a fisherman grips (so-called grips) the reel seat 12 and the fishing reel with his left hand, and operates the fishing rod 10 and the fishing reel while holding the rear handle 13 under the armpit.

This figure also shows an enlarged perspective view of the essential part of the reel seat 12 and the rear handle 13. The fishing rod 10 of the present embodiment is characterized by the structure of the reel seat 12 and the rear handle 13. The reel seat 12 includes a front handle 14, and the front handle 14 and the rear handle 13 are easily replaced according to the size and the physique of the hand of the fisherman.

2. Fishing rod body

The fishing rod body 11 is formed of a single blank in the present embodiment. The blank is constructed according to known points. For example, a carbon fiber-reinforced resin base (so-called prepreg) is cut into a predetermined shape and wound around a roll. In this state, the prepreg is heated at a predetermined temperature, and then the reel is pulled out, whereby the fishing rod body 11 is fired. However, it is obvious that the fishing rod body 11 may be constructed from a plurality of blanks. Although not shown, a line guide is provided at a predetermined position of the fishing rod body 11, and a fishing line fed from a fishing reel is inserted through the line guide and supported.

3. Reel seat

Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part of the reel seat 12.

The reel seat 12 is formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole, and detachably holds the fishing reel (typically, a bait cast reel). The reel seat 12 includes a reel seat main body 15, a movable cover 16, and a front handle 14. In the present embodiment, the reel seat main body 15 and the movable cover 16 have a known structure and are generally formed of resin or metal. As shown in these figures, the fishing rod body 11 penetrates the reel seat 12. The fishing rod body 11 has an axial direction 17 that coincides with the axial direction of the reel seat body 15, and the reel seat body 15 is fixed to a predetermined position of the fishing rod body 11. The two are typically secured by an adhesive.

The reel seat main body 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in fig. 2, and is provided with a through hole 24 along the axial direction 17. In the present embodiment, the gap 25 is provided to reduce the weight of the reel seat main body 15. Thus, the rear end portion 26 (corresponding to the "axial end portion" in the claims) of the reel seat body 15 has a double cylindrical shape. That is, the rear end portion 26 has a small-diameter inner tube portion 27 and a large-diameter outer tube portion 28. In the present embodiment, the female screw 29 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the inner tube portion 27. The outer tube portion 28 determines the outer shape of the rear end portion 26 of the reel seat body 15. Although described in detail later, the front handle 14 is coupled to the rear end portion 26.

The reel seat body 15 has a wrench 23 and a fixing cover 18. Which are integrally formed with the reel seat body 15. The fixed cover 18 is integrally formed on a rear side 19 in the axial direction 17 of the reel seat body 15. One of the leg portions of the fishing reel is inserted into the fixing cover 18 and held by a predetermined holding force. The movable cover 16 is disposed on the front side 20 in the axial direction 17 of the reel seat main body 15. The movable hood 16 has a hood main body 21 and a threaded engagement ring 22. The cover main body 21 is provided on the reel seat main body 15 and is slidable in the axial direction 17. The screw ring 22 is screwed to the reel seat body 15, and the screw ring 22 is operated to slide in the axial direction 17 together with the cover body 21. That is, the cover main body 21 can approach and separate from the fixed cover 18. When the other of the leg portions of the fishing reel is inserted into the cover body 21 and the screw engagement ring 22 is operated, the leg portion of the fishing reel is held between the fixed cover 18 and the movable cover 16.

4. Front handle

Fig. 3 is an exploded view of front handle 14.

The front handle 14 has a substantially circular truncated cone shape as shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the front handle 14 includes a core tube 31 (corresponding to a "cylindrical body" described in the claims), a handle body 32, and a fixing ring 33. As shown in fig. 2, the fishing rod body 11 is inserted through the core tube 31, and the handle body 32 covers the core tube 31. The handle main body 32 is held between the fixing ring 33 and the core tube 31 by being coupled to each other. As will be described later, the fixing ring 33 is coupled to the rear end 26 of the reel seat body 15.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the core tube 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The core tube 31 may be made of metal or resin. The inner diameter of the core tube 31 corresponds to the outer diameter of the fishing rod body 11, and the fishing rod body 11 is slidable in the axial direction 17 with respect to the core tube 31. An external thread 34 is formed on one side of the outer peripheral surface of the core tube 31, i.e., the front side 20 in the axial direction 17.

A hook portion 35 is formed on the other side of the core tube 31, i.e., the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. The hook portion 35 includes a large diameter portion 36 and an umbrella portion 37 (corresponding to a "finger-engaging portion" described in the claims) which are integrally formed continuously in the axial direction 17. Since the maximum outer diameter of the umbrella portion 37 is larger than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 36, a step portion 47 (corresponding to "seat 2" described in claims) is formed at the boundary between the large diameter portion 36 and the umbrella portion 37.

The umbrella portion 37 is in the shape of a hat with a rim. The umbrella portion 37 is formed in this shape, so that the operator can easily grip the core tube 31, and the operation of assembling the front handle 14 is facilitated as described later. However, the shape of the umbrella portion 37 is not particularly limited, and may be other shapes as long as the stepped portion 47 is formed.

The fixed ring 33 has three cylindrical rings integrally connected to each other, and the three cylindrical rings have a common center. The material of the fixing ring 33 may be metal or resin. As shown in fig. 2, the fixing ring 33 is coupled to the inner cylindrical portion 27 of the reel seat main body 15, and the center of the fixing ring 33 coincides with the axial direction 17. That is, the fixed ring 33 includes a 1 st ring 38, a 2 nd ring 39, and a 3 rd ring 40 in order from the front side 20 in the axial direction 17, and the 2 nd ring 39 is disposed so as to surround the 3 rd ring 40.

The 1 st ring 38 has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the inner cylindrical portion 27, and has an external thread 41 formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof. Therefore, the 1 st ring 38 can be screwed with the inner cylindrical portion 27.

The 2 nd ring 39 has a larger diameter than the 1 st ring 38, and has two

steps

42 and 43. The step portion 42 is formed on the front side 20 in the axial direction 17. The outer diameter of the stepped portion 42 and the maximum outer diameter of the 2 nd ring 39 correspond to the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the outer cylindrical portion 28 of the reel seat body 15, respectively. Therefore, the 2 nd ring 39 is smoothly connected to the rear end portion 26 of the reel seat body 15 continuously (see fig. 1 and 2). A step portion 43 (corresponding to the "1 st seat portion" described in the claims) is formed on the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. The outer diameter of the stepped portion 43 corresponds to the inner diameter of one side of the handle main body 32 described later.

The 3 rd ring 40 is continuous with the boundaries between the 1 st ring 38 and the 2 nd ring 39 (see fig. 2), and extends toward the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. The 3 rd ring 40 has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the core tube 31. An internal thread 44 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the 3 rd ring 40. Thus, the core tube 31 can be threadedly engaged with the 3 rd ring 40.

The handle main body 32 is molded from a carbon fiber-reinforced resin. However, the material of the handle main body 32 is not particularly limited. The handle main body 32 has a thin funnel shape as shown in fig. 2 and 3 in the present embodiment, and includes a large-diameter cylindrical portion 45 and a reduced-diameter portion 46. These are integrally formed, the reduced diameter portion 46 is continuous with the cylindrical portion 45, and the outer diameter of the reduced diameter portion 46 gradually decreases toward the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. The outer shape of the handle body 32 is not particularly limited, and is appropriately designed and changed in accordance with the size and the physical form of the hand of the fisherman.

The outer diameter and the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 45 correspond to the outer diameter of the 2 nd ring 39 and the outer diameter of the stepped portion 43, respectively. Therefore, one end of the handle body 32, i.e., the front side 20 in the axial direction 17 is fitted into the other end of the 2 nd ring 39, i.e., the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17, and the fixed ring 33 and the handle body 32 are smoothly continuous (see fig. 1 and 2).

The outer diameter and the inner diameter of the end portion of the reduced diameter portion 46, i.e., the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17, correspond to the outer diameter of the hook portion 35 of the core tube 31 and the outer diameter of the step portion 47, respectively. Therefore, the other end of the handle body 32, i.e., the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17 is fitted to the stepped portion 47 formed on the outer edge of the core tube 31, and the handle body 32 and the core tube 31 are smoothly continuous (see fig. 1 and 2).

The front handle 14 is assembled according to the following points.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the fixing ring 33 is fitted to the fishing rod body 11 inserted through the reel seat body 15. The 1 st ring 38 is screwed into the reel seat body 15, the 2 nd ring 39 is fitted into the reel seat body 15, and the fixing ring 33 is fixed to the reel seat body 15. In the present embodiment, the 1 st ring 38 is screwed to the reel seat main body 15, but instead, the 1 st ring 38 and the inner diameter of the inner cylindrical portion 27 of the reel seat main body 15 may be configured such that the outer diameter of the ring and the inner diameter are set to a predetermined fitting dimension, and both are fitted and fixed. Alternatively, the 1 st ring 38 and the 2 nd ring 39 may be fixed to the reel seat body 15 with an adhesive or the like. Further, an O-ring may be present on the step portion 42 of the fixing ring 33.

The handle body 32 is fitted to the 2 nd ring 39. Specifically, the cylindrical portion 45 of the handle main body 32 is fitted to the stepped portion 43 of the aforementioned 2 nd ring 39. The core tube 31 is fitted into the fishing rod body 11, slides along the fishing rod body 11 toward the front side 20 in the axial direction 17, and is inserted into the grip body 32. The male screw 34 formed in the core tube 31 is screwed into the female screw 44 formed in the 3 rd ring 40 and screwed into the front side 20 in the axial direction 17. Thereby, the reduced diameter portion 46 of the handle main body 32 is fitted to the stepped portion 47 of the core tube 31, and the handle main body 32 is sandwiched between the core tube 31 and the fixing ring 33. Since the core tube 31 is screwed to the fixing ring 33, the core tube 31 is detachable from the fixing ring 33.

5. Rear handle

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the rear handle 13, and fig. 5 is an exploded view of the rear handle 13.

The rear handle 13 is provided at the rear end of the fishing rod body 11 (see fig. 1). The outer shape of the rear handle 13 is, as shown in fig. 4 and 1, an elongated substantially circular truncated cone shape. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the rear handle 13 includes a core tube 51 (corresponding to the "cylindrical body" in the claims), a handle body 52, a fixing ring 53, and a tail plug 71 (corresponding to the "end surface member" in the claims). The fishing rod body 11 is inserted through the core pipe 51 and connected to the tail plug 71. As in the case of the front grip 14, the grip main body 52 is covered on the core tube 51, and the fixing ring 53 is coupled to the core tube 51, whereby the grip main body 52 is sandwiched between the core tube 51 and the fixing ring 53.

The core tube 51 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The core tube 51 may be made of metal or resin. The inner diameter of the core tube 51 corresponds to the outer diameter of the fishing rod body 11, and the fishing rod body 11 is slidable in the axial direction 17 with respect to the core tube 51. A male screw 54 is formed on the rear side 19 of the core tube 51 in the axial direction 17.

A hook-shaped portion 55 is formed on the front side 20 in the axial direction 17 of the core tube 51. The hook portion 55 has a large diameter portion 56 and an umbrella portion 57 (corresponding to a "finger-lock portion" described in the claims) which are integrally formed continuously in the axial direction 17. Since the maximum outer diameter of the umbrella portion 57 is larger than the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion 56, as shown in fig. 5, a step portion 67 (corresponding to "the 2 nd seat portion" in the claims) is formed at the boundary between the large-diameter portion 56 and the umbrella portion 57.

The umbrella portion 57 is in the shape of a hat with a rim. The umbrella portion 57 is formed in this shape, so that the operator can easily grip the core tube 51, and the rear handle 13 can be easily attached as described later. However, the shape of the umbrella part 57 is not particularly limited, and may be other shapes as long as the stepped part 67 is formed.

The fixed ring 53 has three cylindrical rings, and as shown in fig. 5, they have a common center and are integrally connected. The material of the fixing ring 53 may be metal or resin. The rear end of the fishing rod body 11 penetrates the fixing ring 53, and the center of the fixing ring 53 coincides with the axial direction 17. The fixed ring 53 includes a 1 st ring 58, a 2 nd ring 59, and a 3 rd ring 60 in this order from the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. They are arranged side-by-side in the axial direction 17 with the 1 st ring 58 having the largest outer diameter and the 3 rd ring 60 having the smallest outer diameter.

The 3 rd ring 60 has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the core tube 51 and an inner peripheral surface formed with female threads 61. Thus, the 3 rd ring 60 can be threadedly engaged with the core tube 51. The 2 nd ring 59 has a cylindrical shape with a larger diameter than the 3 rd ring 60. The inner diameter of the 2 nd ring 59 corresponds to the outer diameter of a boss portion 72 of a tail plug 71 described later.

The 1 st ring 58 has a cylindrical shape having a larger diameter than the 2 nd ring 59, and is formed with a flange-like stepped portion 62 (see fig. 5). The step portion 62 is formed on the end surface of the rear side 19 in the axial direction 17. The outer diameter of the step portion 62 and the maximum outer diameter of the 1 st ring 58 correspond to the inner diameter and the outer diameter of a cylindrical portion 65 of the handle main body 52, which will be described later. Therefore, the 1 st ring 58 is smoothly connected to the cylindrical portion 65 of the handle main body 52 (see fig. 1 and 4). The inner diameter of the 1 st ring 58 corresponds to the outer diameter of a step 73 of the tail plug 71 described later.

The tail plug 71 is disk-shaped and made of metal or resin. The tail plug 71 includes a plug main body 74 and the boss portion 72, which are integrally formed. The boss portion 72 has a cylindrical shape and is fitted to the 2 nd ring 59 of the fixing ring 53. The inner diameter of the 2 nd ring 59 and the outer diameter of the boss portion 72 are set to predetermined fitting dimensions, whereby the boss portion 72 may be fitted and fixed to the 2 nd ring 59, or a structure may be employed in which a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the boss portion 72 and a female screw is formed on the 2 nd ring 59, and both are screwed together.

The stepped portion 73 is formed by reducing a diameter of a part of the plug main body 74. The step 73 is fitted into the 1 st ring 58. The inner diameter of the 1 st ring 58 and the outer diameter of the step portion 73 may be set to a predetermined fitting dimension, and the step portion 73 may be fitted and fixed to the 1 st ring 58. When the boss portion 72 and the 2 nd ring 59 are fitted to each other, the following structure may be adopted: a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stepped portion 73, and a female screw is formed on the 1 st ring 58, whereby both are screwed together. Further, the rear end face 75 of the plug main body 74 bulges gently outward, so that the appearance of the tail plug 71 is improved.

The handle main body 52 is molded from a carbon fiber-reinforced resin. However, the material of the handle main body 52 is not particularly limited. The handle main body 52 has a thin funnel shape as shown in fig. 4 and 5 in the present embodiment, and has a large-diameter cylindrical portion 65 and a reduced-diameter portion 66. These are integrally formed, the reduced diameter portion 66 is continuous with the cylindrical portion 65, and the outer diameter of the reduced diameter portion 66 gradually decreases toward the front side 20 in the axial direction 17. The outer shape of the handle body 52 is not particularly limited, and design changes are appropriately made according to the size and the physique of the hand of the fisherman.

Since the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 65 correspond to the outer diameter of the 1 st ring 58 and the outer diameter of the stepped portion 62, respectively, the rear side 19 of the handle main body 52 in the axial direction 17 is fitted to the front side 20 of the 1 st ring 58, and the fixing ring 53 is smoothly continuous with the handle main body 52 (see fig. 1 and 4).

The outer diameter and the inner diameter of the end portion of the reduced diameter portion 66, i.e., the front side 20 in the axial direction 17, correspond to the outer diameter of the hook-shaped portion 55 of the core tube 51 and the outer diameter of the stepped portion 67, respectively. Therefore, the front side 20 in the axial direction 17 of the grip main body 52 is fitted to the step portion 67 formed on the outer edge of the core tube 51, and the grip main body 52 and the core tube 51 are smoothly continuous (see fig. 1 and 4).

The rear handle 13 is assembled according to the following points.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the rear end of the fishing rod body 11 is inserted into the core tube 51. The handle body 52 is fitted to the core tube 51. Specifically, the reduced diameter portion 66 of the handle main body 52 is fitted to the stepped portion 67 of the core tube 51. The fixing ring 53 is coupled to the core tube 51. Specifically, the operator operates the umbrella part 57 of the core tube 51, whereby the male screw 54 formed at the core tube 51 is threadedly engaged with the female screw 61 formed at the aforementioned 3 rd ring 60. Thereby, the cylindrical portion 65 of the handle main body 52 is fitted to the stepped portion 62 of the fixing ring 53, and the handle main body 52 is sandwiched between the core tube 51 and the fixing ring 53. Since the core tube 51 is screwed to the fixing ring 53, the core tube 51 is detachable from the fixing ring 53.

Since the fishing rod body 11 is slidable relative to the core tube 51, the fishing rod body 11 is slidable relative to the core tube 51 in the axial direction 17 and the rear side 19. In a state where the fishing rod body 11 is exposed from the fixing ring 53, the tail plug 71 is fitted to the fixing ring 53. At this time, the rear end 76 of the fishing rod body 11 is connected to the boss portion 72 of the tail plug 71. The boss portion 72 is fitted and fixed to the rear end portion 76 of the fishing rod body 11 by setting the inner diameter of the boss portion 72 and the outer diameter of the rear end portion 76 of the fishing rod body 11 to a predetermined fitting dimension. However, the following configuration is also possible: a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rear end portion 76 of the fishing rod body 11, and a female screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the boss portion 72, whereby the fishing rod body 11 and the tail plug 71 are screwed together.

6. Effect of action

The fishing rod 10 of the present embodiment is mounted with a reel seat 12 having a front grip 14. The front handle 14 includes a core tube 31, a handle body 32, and a fixing ring 33, and the handle body 32 is attached and detached by attaching and detaching the core tube 31 to and from the fixing ring 33 (see fig. 2). That is, the handle body 32 can be easily replaced with another device. Similarly, the core tube 51 and the fishing rod body 11 are detached from the fixing ring 53 (see fig. 4) at the rear grip 13, and the grip body 52 is detached. That is, the handle main body 32 and the handle main body 52 can be easily replaced with other devices. Therefore, the fisherman can change the shape of the handle according to the physique and the size of the hand without changing the performance of the fishing rod.

In the present embodiment, the handle main body 32 and the handle main body 52 are formed in thin tubular shapes, and thus are configured as hollow members as shown in fig. 2 and 4. That is, a space is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the core tube 31 and the inner peripheral surface of the handle body 32, and between the outer peripheral surface of the core tube 51 and the inner peripheral surface of the handle body 52. Therefore, even if the outer dimensions of the handle

main bodies

32, 52 are increased, the weight of the handle

main bodies

32, 52 is suppressed, and the weight reduction of the front handle 14 and the rear handle 13 is achieved.

In the present embodiment, only the core tube 31 and the core tube 51 are rotated relative to the fixing ring 33 and the fixing ring 53, and the core tube 31 and the core tube 51 are removed. Therefore, the replacement work of the handle main body 32 and the handle main body 52 is easy. Further, since the core tube 31 and the core tube 51 are provided with the

umbrella parts

37 and 57, respectively, the operator can grasp the

umbrella parts

37 and 57 with fingers or can grasp them with a desired tool. Therefore, the operation of the

core pipes

31, 51 becomes simple. When a tool is engaged with the

umbrella parts

37 and 57, the external shape of the

umbrella parts

37 and 57 may be designed in accordance with the tool. For example, when the

core tubes

31 and 51 are operated by a wrench, the

umbrella parts

37 and 57 may be formed in a hexagonal prism shape.

In the present embodiment, when the handle body 32 is fitted to the core tube 31, the handle body 32 is placed on the step portion 43 (see fig. 3) of the fixing ring 33, and therefore, the assembly work of the handle body 32 is facilitated. Similarly, when the handle body 52 is fitted to the core tube 51 (see fig. 5), the handle body 52 is placed on the step portion 62 of the fixing ring 53, and therefore, the assembly work of the handle body 52 is facilitated.

In the present embodiment, in the attachment work of the

handle bodies

32 and 52, the handle body 32 is placed on the step portion 47 of the core tube 31, and the handle body 52 is placed on the step portion 67 of the core tube 51. That is, since the handle

main bodies

32 and 52 are positioned at predetermined positions of the

core pipes

31 and 51, the assembly work of the handle

main bodies

32 and 52 is simplified.

In the fishing rod 10 of this example embodiment, the reel seat 12 also serves as the front grip 14, and the grip body 32 can be replaced. In particular, since the handle unit is constituted by the core tube 31, the handle main body 32, and the fixing ring 33, the handle unit can be replaced together. On the other hand, the handle main body 52 of the rear handle 13 can be replaced, and the handle unit is constituted by the core tube 51, the handle main body 52, and the fixing ring 53, so that the handle unit can be replaced together. Therefore, the fisherman can customize the fishing rod according to his/her physique and preference. The rear handle 13 is provided with a tail plug 71, and thus functions as a so-called handle tail end while preventing water and foreign matter from entering the fixing ring 53 and the fishing rod body 11.
