Abstract
A method of fishing rod construction for use on all types of rods whereby the fittings, in this example a double leg rod ring (1) is secured to the rod blank (3) using epoxy resin adhesive (4) and two sections of heat shrinkable tubing (5) instead of the traditional silk or nylon thread whippings coated with varnish, thus speeding the production time and reducing the production costs. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
A method of fishing rod construction
This invention relates to the method of securing rod rings and rod fittings to a fishing rod blank in the course of construction of a fishing rod.
Previously, in the process offishing rod construction, the rod fittings, such as rod rings, or line guides and plate-type reel fittings, have been secured to the blank, or bare rod, by means of a number of whippings utilising silk or nylon thread. When the whippings have been completed, a number of coats of clear varnish are applied to them in orderto increasethe rigidityofthe ring mounting and provide a weath erprooffinish to the whipping.
This method of fishing rod construction, which has altered little since fishing rods were first produced commercially in the middle ofthe last century, is a time-consuming and expensive operation and furthermore, should a ring suffer damage necessitating its replacement, great care is required to avoid spoiling the overall appearance of the rod.
According to the invention, it is now possible to securetherodfittingstothe blankbya much quicker and less expensive method, and additionally it offers a simple means of effecting repairs to the fittings should this be necessary.
In the invention, the fittings are secured to the blanks using Araldite epoxy resin adhesive and heat-shrinkable tubing, such as Raychem RNF 3000.
The adhesive is used to obtain rigid mounting forthe fitting and the heat-shrinkable tubing in its recovered orshrunkstate protects the bond and provides a pleasing finish to the assembly.
Specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 shows in side elevation a double leg rod ring in position on a section of rod blank prior to the final placement of the heat shrinkable tubing.
FIGURE 2 illustrates the assembly prior to the application of heat the heatshrinkabletubing.
FIGURE 3 illustrates in perspective the completed assembly.
Referring to the drawing, two sections of heat shrink tubing (5), not more than twice the diameter of the rod blank and sufficient in length to coverthe bases of the rod ring supports (2) and allow an overlap of 4mm, are slid onto the rod blank (3). The rod ring (1) is placed in the required position on the rod blank (3) with the bases of the ring supports (2) coated with the adhesive (4). The two lengths of heat shrinktubing (5) are then moved into position covering the bases ofthe rod ring supports, as shown in Figure 2. Using a heat gun or similar appliance, the two lengths of heat shrink tubing are heated to a temperature of 1 20"C, causing the tubing to shrink and encapsulate the bases of the rod ring supports (2) and the rod blank (3) as iliustrated in Figure 3. This operation can now be
repeated on the remaining number of fittings required
and after allowing the heatshrinktubing to cool,the assembly is complete.
CLAIM
1. A method of constructing fishing rods by which the rod fittings are secured to the rod blank using a combination of epoxy resin adhesive and heat shrink able tubing.
