Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for fixing, at the end of a strand of fishing rod, in particular a telescopic rod, an accessory such as a wire guide ring, requiring rigid mounting and a removable nature.
• the guiding of the wire of the fishing rods with external wire is ensured by rings fixed on the strands of the rod.
• the traditional rings have a leg extended by a foot that is ligated on the strand of the cane.
• Another solution consists in using split rings coming to be housed, by the play of their radial elasticity in grooves formed on the strands. However, due to the forces transmitted by the wire to the rings, it often happens that the rings open causing the detachment of the corresponding ring.
• a first solution consists in providing a ring made of an elastic material and a nose piece forming a conical access ramp with an outside diameter greater than the outside diameter of the groove. This ramp thus ensures the expansion by force of the ring during its introduction on the nozzle, then the blocking of this ring, once the latter retracted and positioned in the groove. The removal of the ring is also facilitated by a chamfer formed on the front edge of the groove.
• the second solution consists in providing a peripheral cord with a diameter at most equal to the inside diameter of the ring and that of the bottom of the groove, a groove being formed between this groove and this peripheral cord.
• the blocking of the ring in the groove is then obtained by means of a circiips which is received in the groove.
• This second solution has the advantage of allowing the use of rigid rings which form a solid body with the ring and which ensure a rigid connection of the latter with the strand which supports it.
• the two solutions proposed make it very easy to mount or dismount the ring holder ring, while guaranteeing a rigid blocking of the latter.
• these devices consist in using an element in one piece integrating the belt ring and the wire guide ring. All the devices described above therefore require, during a deterioration of this ring to change the ring-ring assembly.
• this ring forms, by its projecting position on the strands of the cane, the element of this cane that is the most vulnerable and the most likely to be damaged.
• the guide ring equipped with its ring constitutes an element requiring special manufacture and can only be purchased in specialized stores authorized by the manufacturer of this element.
• the present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks and to provide a removable fixing device for a ring, of the traditional type, at the end of a strand of fishing rod, ensuring a rigid connection of this ring with this strand. Another objective is to allow very quick and easy assembly or disassembly of the ring on the strand which supports it.
• Another objective is to provide a fixing device allowing the dismantling of the strands of the rod.
• Another object i f is to provide a device with great reliability and great job security.
• the device for the removable fixing of a wire guide ring at the end of a strand of fishing rod is of the type comprising:
• a tip comprising an assembly skirt on the end of the strand, a barrel in the extension of said skirt, a tip nose and an annular groove formed between said barrel and tip nose,
• this device is characterized in that:
• the ring is a removable ring adapted to be fixed on a strand by means of two branches connected at one of their ends by a foot capable of being fixed on said strand
• the ring holder ring consists of a hollow sleeve comprising a longitudinal housing of shape conjugated to that of the foot of the ring
• the locking circlip comprises a latching tenon adapted to be housed between the two branches of the 'ring so as to lock the foot of the latter in the housing of the ring.
• this device allows rigid blocking of a traditional ring of current manufacture, such as a ring intended to be tied to a strand of fishing rod.
• assembly or disassembly operations of this ring are very rapid, the latter being blocked only by means of the circlip.
• disassembly of the rod can also be obtained by means of a simple operation consisting in removing the circlip and in disengaging the ring from the end piece.
• the ring holder ring is provided in a rigid material, the nose of the end piece having: an outside diameter at most equal to the inside diameter of this ring.
• this ring can be fitted onto the endpiece without requiring force expansion during its introduction.
• this rigid ring forms a solid body with the barrel of the nozzle and ensures a rigid connection of the ring with the strand which supports it.
• FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the end of a strand and of the various elements ready to be mounted on this strand for guiding the wire,
• FIG. 2 is a section through a longitudinal plane of the end of this strand equipped with the fixing device according to the invention
• FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of three strands, the two strands of greater diameter being in the folded position and being fitted with their fixing device.
• the fixing device shown in Figures 1 to 3 is intended to allow the mounting, in a removable manner, of a traditional type guide ring, on the end of the strands of a fishing rod with adjustable length and therefore equipped with reducing plugs.
• Figure 1 shows the end of a strand 1 of fishing rod made of any conventional material known per se (metal, resin reinforced with fiberglass ).
• the reducing nozzle 2 tubular shown above this strand is made of a molded synthetic resin. It is provided with an assembly skirt 3 intended to be fitted and glued inside the end of the strand, as shown in FIG. 2.
• the inside diameter of this skirt 3 is determined so as to allow the strand to be guided of smaller diameter called to slide in this reducing end piece 2.
• This skirt 3 is surmounted by a peripheral flange 4 of the same outside diameter as the end of the strand 1 and intended to come into abutment against the end of this strand 1 in the fitted position of the skirt 3.
• the reducing end piece 2 comprises a barrel 5 of diameter less than the diameter of the strand 1 and on which the ring-carrying ring shown above the tubular end piece is positioned.
• An annular groove 6 is provided above the barrel 5 and intended to receive a locking circlip as will be seen below.
• the tubular end piece ends, finally, with a nose 7 of slightly conical shape, having an outside diameter at most equal to the outside diameter of the barrel 5.
• the ring holder ring 8 is a rigid ring, made of a molded synthetic resin. It has the shape of a hollow sleeve with an outside diameter greater than the diameter of the strand 1 and provided, internally with a shoulder 9 determining two sections of different internal diameter: a section 8a of internal diameter equal to the diameter of the strand 1 and a section 8b of internal diameter equal to the diameter of the barrel 5.
• this ring 8 slides on the barrel 5 until the shoulder 9 abuts against the flange 4.
• the section 8a of this ring 8 is fitted on the end of the strand 1 and acts as a stop for the nose 7 of the tubular end piece 2 of the strand of greater diameter, as shown in FIG. 3.
• the ring 8 also comprises a peripheral wall having an extra thickness 10. At this level extra thickness, this ring 8 is provided with a longitudinal housing 11, of conical shape.
• This housing is intended to receive the foot 13 of a guide ring 12 of the traditional type, that is to say normally intended to be tied to a strand of fishing rod.
• This guide ring 12 has, conventionally, the wire guide ring 14, proper, on which the free ends of two branches 15 having the shape of a V are joined.
• the fixing foot 13 has, for its part, a trapezoidal shape and extends in the extension of the branches 15, substantially orthogonally to the latter.
• the device for fixing this ring 12 is finally completed by a locking circlip 16 whose internal diameter is less than the diameter of the nose 7 of the tubular end piece 2 and corresponds substantially to that of the groove 6.
• this circlip 16 is greater than the inside diameter of the section 8b of the ring 8 so as to block in translation this ring 8, when it is positioned on the barrel 5.
• the circlip 16 further comprises a latching pin 17 adapted to be positioned between the branches 15 of the guide ring 12 so as to lock the foot 13 in its housing 11.
• the assembly is carried out as follows: the ring 8 is fitted onto the tubular end piece 2 until its internal shoulder 9 abuts against the flange 4 of this end piece.
• the nose 7 of the nozzle being of diameter at most equal to the diameter of the barrel 5, no element hinders the introduction of the ring 8.
• the foot 13 of the ring is then positioned in the housing 11 of the ring 8.
• the circlip 16 is fitted onto the conical nose 7 until it engages in the groove 6 of the socket 2 and so that the snap-in lug 17 is positioned between the branches 15 of the ring 12.
• the circlip 16 expands slightly and retracts after the passage of the nose 7.
• this circlip is provided in a relatively elastic material and is open so as to allow its expansion.
• the assembly is then presented as shown in FIG. 3.
• the ring 8 is firmly immobilized, on the one hand, on the barrel 5 and, on the other hand, between the flange 4 and the circlip 16.
• the ring is, likewise, immobilized, on the one hand, by the conical shape of the housing 11 and, on the other hand, by the latching pin 17.
• this device allows rigid mounting and rapid disassembly of traditional rings, at low cost and as mounted on the conventional rods currently used.
