Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a reel seat mounted on a fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-37011, a cylindrical reel sheet mounted on a fishing rod is formed on the outer periphery of a rear end portion of a movable hood member as an engagement means between a nut member and a movable hood member. A structure is disclosed in which an engagement protrusion provided inside a front end portion of a nut member is engaged with the annular concave portion.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned engagement structure, the step between the moving hood member and the nut member is large, and the hand holding the reel seat portion during the fishing operation hits the step to improve the grip. Poorly, the length of the moving hood member is not long, and a grasped hand may be positioned on the nut member and loosen the nut member. Further, the moving hood member is pressed against the reel leg by the strong tightening and rotating operation of the nut member, but there is also a problem that the engaging structure is easily deformed by the reaction force. Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to improve the gripping property when gripping the reel seat portion and to make it difficult for the nut member to be loosened. Still another object is to improve the strength of the engagement structure.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned object, in the first aspect, at least one of the hoods has a pair of hoods which are movable hoods which move in the front-rear direction along with the rotation of the nut member on the reel seat body. A reel sheet, wherein the member having the moving hood has a tubular portion extending in a direction opposite to the hood entrance, and the length of the member from the distal end position of the moving hood to the end of the tubular portion is substantially 40 mm or more, and the outer diameter thereof gradually increases from the position on the cylindrical portion to the vicinity of the end of the cylindrical portion, the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion end, and the nut member end facing the end. A reel sheet for a fishing rod, wherein the reel sheet is substantially flush with an outer periphery of the fishing rod. The length from the tip of the moving hood to the end of the tube is approximately 40m
m or more, it is difficult for the hand holding the reel seat to reach the nut member, and the nut member is prevented from being loosened. In addition, since the outer periphery of the end of the cylindrical portion and the outer periphery of the end of the nut member are substantially flush with each other, it is assumed that the gripped hand reaches the engagement structure between the member having the moving hood and the nut member. Also, the gripping property of this engagement structure portion is good. Furthermore, since the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion only gradually changes to the vicinity of its end, the grip in the cylindrical portion is also good, and the change is gradually increasing, and the hand slides toward the end (toward the nut member). Movement is prevented.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at the end of the cylindrical portion of the member having the movable hood, there is provided an engaging portion projecting toward the axis of the cylindrical portion, and the engaging portion is provided with the nut. The end face of the engaging part, which is farther from the hood entrance, and the wall face of the groove part facing the end face are engaged with the groove part on the outer side of the member with respect to the extending direction of the axis. 2. The fishing rod reel seat according to claim 1, wherein each of the reel seats is substantially orthogonal to each other, and an end of the cylindrical portion near the engaging portion is formed substantially in a direction in which the axis extends. Since the end face of the convex engagement portion and the groove wall surface facing the end face are substantially perpendicular to the axis, each end face is perpendicular to the reaction force generated when the nut member is screwed and the reel leg is fastened. In addition, since the end portion of the cylindrical portion is formed substantially in the axial extension direction, the end portion of the cylindrical portion receives a pressing force mainly in a direction along the wall surface, and is bent laterally to bend the cylindrical wall. Since little directional force acts, damage to the engagement structure is prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a reel sheet of a fishing rod according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part. A plastic tubular reel sheet body 10A is adhered and fixed to a rod tube 20 made of a fiber-reinforced resin reinforced with a reinforcing fiber such as carbon fiber using a synthetic resin such as an epoxy resin as a matrix. That is, the inner space 10AK is a cylinder having a circular cross section. The reel sheet body may be integrally formed with the rod tube 20 by injection molding of a synthetic resin material or the like. Further, a steep step between the end of the illustrated cylindrical reel sheet and the outer periphery of the rod tube 20 may be eliminated by gradually changing the end of the cylindrical reel sheet into an inclined shape. Here, a male screw 10AR is formed on the outer periphery of the rear part of the cylindrical reel seat body, and a nut member 10C made of a synthetic resin having a female screw 10CR formed on the inner periphery.
Is screwed. A member 10 to be described later on the inner surface of the nut member
If a female screw is formed on the front side from the side facing B to the middle position and no screw is formed on the rear side, the length of forming the male screw of the cylindrical reel sheet body 10A can be shortened, and the member 1
Even if the total length of 0B and the nut member 10C is short, the male screw portion of the tubular reel seat body can be covered. In any case, the total length of the member 10B and the nut member 10C may be set so that the male screw 10AR of the reel seat body is hidden with the reel mounted and fixed.

A fixed hood 10F is formed at the front of the cylindrical reel sheet body 10A, and a member 10B having a movable hood 10F 'is engaged with the front end of the nut member so as to face the fixed hood 10F. I have. This mobile hood has
A receiving member 10BF made of synthetic resin or rubber is inserted. A long groove 10AM is formed in the region where the member 10B is disposed on the side opposite to the fixed hood of the tubular reel sheet body in the radial direction, and in the front and rear direction. On the other hand, the member 10B is formed with an engagement projection 10K that is convex toward the axis CL, and is configured to engage with the groove 10AM and to be able to move back and forth. Therefore, if the nut member is rotated, the member 10B
Moves back and forth without rotating.

Thus, the spinning reel leg R is placed between the front fixed hood 10F and the rear movable hood 10F '.
And fix it with a nut member. Usually, the fishing rod is operated while the spinning reel is on the lower side and the reel seat portion is gripped. In this case, the leg R of the reel is gripped between the index finger and the middle finger or between the middle finger and the ring finger.
Therefore, three or two fingers are located behind the leg R. In consideration of this, the member 10B has a cylindrical portion 10BE (range of the area Z) extending in the opposite direction (rearward side) of the entrance of the moving hood, and extends from the front end position of the moving hood to the rear end of the cylindrical portion. Is approximately 40 mm or more. Thereby, when two fingers are located behind the leg R, the grasped hand is within the range of the member 10B, and the member 10B
Has a good grip because it has no steps. However, the member 10B may be composed of two parts, a moving hood part and a cylindrical part 10BE. The former is formed of a hard member such as a metal, and the latter is formed of a soft member such as a resin, and the gripping property is improved by the soft member.

However, in the case of three, the palm of the grasped hand often comes into contact with the vicinity of the engagement structure with the rear nut member 10C (including the front end region of the nut member).
Therefore, the outer periphery of the engagement structure portion is configured to be substantially flush with each other, so that even in this case, the grip structure is configured to be good. in this case,
The grip area with good grip feeling with almost no unevenness on the surface is length L4
, The outer periphery of the front part of the nut member is also formed smoothly, and is set as an area to be gripped. L4 may be 60 mm or more, preferably 60 to 100 mm. A flexible member layer which is softer than the main body of each member 10B and 10C in the region may be formed by coating or the like around the region L4 with rubber or elastomer resin. In addition, a non-slip irregularity is formed on the outer periphery of the rear portion of the nut member 10C (away from the hood, from the middle to the rear side), which deviates from the length range L4, and the front portion is formed smoothly to provide grip. Has been improved.

However, the length L1 of the member 10B is set to 60
If the distance is set to about mm, the hand can be almost settled within the range of the member 10B, and the gripping feeling is good without making the outer periphery of the engagement structure portion flush. Therefore, the length L1 is set to about 40 to 60 mm. As shown in FIG. 1, the front end 10BF of the member 10B is cut and formed in an inclined shape, and the minimum length is L3 and the length of the nut member 10C is L2. , L3, L4 are 50 mm and 30 m, respectively.
m, 44 mm and 68 mm. The member 10B having the moving hood is formed to be longer than the nut member, and has a length L1 of 60% or more of the total length of both members.
Preferably, it is between 65 and 80 percent. Thus, the gripping property is improved, and the operability is improved. The outer peripheral edge of the front end 10BF is chamfered in a curved shape, or the front end portion is formed in an inclined shape to eliminate a steep step perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the reel seat body 10A to improve gripping comfort. Good.

The outer periphery of the cylindrical portion up to the middle of the cylindrical portion 10BE is substantially along the axis CL, and the outer periphery of the rear portion following the outer periphery is a gentle slope 10B whose outer diameter gradually increases rearward.
K, and the rear outer periphery 10BS is a cylindrical portion whose outer periphery is substantially along the axis CL. The axis CL of the inclined surface
Is 30 degrees or less, and preferably 15 degrees.
Degrees or less, more preferably 10 degrees or less. Opposite side 10 in the radial direction of the reel leg mounting surface of cylindrical reel sheet body 10A
AB is slightly swelled outward, and is configured so that the tip (thumb) can be generally supported from near the boundary between the thumb and the palm of the gripped hand. If a flexible member is provided here, gripping properties are improved. Further, the outer shape of the nut member 10C has a small diameter at the end side remote from the member 10B having the moving hood, and the angle of the inclined surface 10BK is, for example, 10 degrees or less as described above (more preferably 5 degrees or less). ), The engaging structure portion is gently bulged and the outer shape from the cylindrical portion 10BE to the end of the nut member 10C is configured to have a small diameter, a large diameter, and a small diameter. Operability is improved.

The member 10B is made of stainless steel and is a thin tubular metal member (having a thickness of 0.8 mm). The thickness of this sheet metal is preferably selected from about 0.5 to 1.0 mm. On the other hand, the nut member 10C is made of a synthetic resin and the member 10B
Is formed thicker than The cylindrical portion 10 of the member 10B
At the end of the BE, there is an engaging portion 10BT protruding toward the axis CL of the cylindrical portion, and the engaging portion engages with the annular groove 10CM on the outer periphery of the nut member and rotates with each other. It is free. The outer periphery 10BS of the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion is a cylindrical portion substantially along the axis CL, and the rear end surface 10BV of the engagement portion 10BT.
Is substantially perpendicular to the rear end outer periphery 10BS.

The wall surface 10CV of the groove 10CM facing the rear end face 10BV is also substantially perpendicular to the axis CL. This wall surface 10CV is not a synthetic resin nut member 10C itself, but a front end surface of a stainless steel ring member 10D having a rectangular cross section, which is embedded in the groove so that its front end surface is exposed. The ring member is bonded and fixed to a nut member, and the front end surface 10CV is the wall surface of the groove portion in the present application.

Due to such an engaging portion structure, if the nut member 10C is strongly tightened to fix the reel legs, the groove wall surface 10CV presses the end surface 10BV of the cylindrical portion. It is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the center CL, and the end (the outer periphery is 10BS) of the cylindrical portion 10BE pushed by this is generally extended in the axial direction. The strength of the part is improved.
The outer periphery 10BS at the end of the cylindrical portion, the outer peripheral surface of the ring member 10D on the nut member side, and the outer peripheral surface of the nut member 10C near the outer peripheral surface are substantially flush with each other. Even when gripping the vicinity of the part, there is little discomfort and a good grip.

On the other hand, the nut member is made of a synthetic resin for weight reduction, but has a predetermined thickness and therefore has a strength capable of withstanding a pressing force. Furthermore, the radial width (thickness dimension) of the front end face 10CV of the ring member 10D is formed larger than that of the end face 10BV of the cylindrical portion. (Metals), and there is no synthetic resin member. The same applies to a combination of ceramics or a combination of metal and ceramics.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
In this case, a stainless steel cylindrical portion 10BE 'is engaged from the inside of the synthetic resin nut member 10C'. Therefore, since the thin-walled cylindrical portion is on the lower side, there is a step between the outer periphery and the outer periphery of the thick-walled nut member. In order to fill the gap and improve the grip feeling, a flexible member 10E is attached to the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion to fill the step. In this case, the flexible member is mounted from the middle of the cylindrical portion, and has a slope 10BK ′ such that the outer diameter gradually increases as approaching the nut member, but as shown by a two-dot chain line 10E ′, You may form so that the whole cylindrical part may be covered. The flexible member 10E may be metal or ceramic. In this case, the nut member 10
The contact surface (end surface) 10BV 'against the tightening at C' is strengthened, and the durability is improved.

In the above embodiment, the pair of hoods is a fixed hood and a movable hood. The member having the moving hood may be another metal, fiber-reinforced synthetic resin, ceramics, synthetic resin, or the like. Further, the nut member may be formed of metal or the like. The ring member 10D may be another metal, ceramics, fiber reinforced synthetic resin, or the like. Further, instead of the spinning reel, a double bearing type reel or the like may be mounted.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the reel seat portion is gripped, the gripping property is improved and the nut member is not easily loosened.
