Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod in which a rod tip portion and a reel mounting portion are offset.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing rod having a rod tip and a reel mounting portion offset from each other is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 35-31667, and in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2568758. By the offset, the fishing line drawn from the reel can be guided to the pole tip with its bending being reduced. Therefore, the fishing line can be smoothly fed out and wound up.

[0003]

However, a connecting member is required at the offset portion for the structure for offsetting, and this connecting member is connected to the front portion of the rod or the rod member (handle member) on the reel mounting portion side. Must be fixed.
In this case, it is desired to improve the strength of the connecting portion while improving the appearance of the connecting structure.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems,
According to claim 1, the fishing rod has a portion where the reel is mounted and the rod tip are offset, and a front side of the connecting member to be offset has a front side extending in the rod tip direction,
The rear side has a rear portion extending in the direction of the reel mounting portion, and the rear side portion and the operating member on the reel mounting portion side are provided inside the tubular reel sheet body at the portion where the reel is mounted. A fishing rod characterized by having at least two types of members disposed between a front portion of a handle member and a third reinforcing member, and having a laminated structure of three or more layers in combination with a cylindrical reel seat body. provide. The direction of the rod tip means the direction in which the rod intermediate portion extends toward the tip, even if the rod is normally bent at the tip. Since the outermost part of the three-layer or more laminated structure is the cylindrical reel seat body, the members essential for mounting the reel are effectively used so that the ends of the connected and inserted members are not exposed to the outside. And good appearance. Further, since the connection is made in a triple structure, the strength of the connection portion can be improved as compared with the case of the double structure.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the triple or more laminated structure portion has a triple structure in which at least the rear side portion, the front portion, and the cylindrical reel seat body overlap, and the triple structure is cylindrical. 2. The fishing rod according to claim 1, wherein the fishing rod extends over half the length of the reel seat body. Because the connecting member and the handle member are members that are inevitably connected to each other,
If this is used to overlap and form a triple structure in combination with the cylindrical reel sheet, the connecting portion can be effectively reinforced.

[0006]

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 shows a side view of a rod (a former rod) at the wrist of a fishing rod according to the present invention, and FIG.
Is a top view, FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view, FIG. 4 is a partially omitted transverse sectional view taken along the line DD, FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line EE, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. This former rod is roughly composed of three members. That is, a cylindrical reel sheet main body 10A which is the main body of the reel mounting device 10 at the center, a connecting member 14 disposed at the front side of the cylindrical reel sheet body and connected thereto, and connected at the rear side. And the handle member 12 that is provided.

[0007] The extending direction of the handle member and the cylindrical reel seat body is offset from the extending direction of the tip of the original rod, and the connecting member 14 is bent into the shape shown in the drawing to offset the extending direction. . As will be described later, the tip of the former pole is usually made of a fiber-reinforced resin made by reinforcing a resin such as an epoxy resin (other than a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin) with a reinforcing fiber such as a carbon fiber. , Straight rod pipes are connected in parallel or in reverse. The material of the handle portion 12 is not limited, but usually, it is preferably made of a fiber-reinforced resin in order to increase the weight and strength. Although the material of the cylindrical reel sheet body is not limited, if it is formed of a resin material or the above-described fiber-reinforced resin, the weight becomes light. In particular, in the case of a resin material, it can be formed at low cost by injection molding or the like.

The connecting member 14 is also easy to form resin by injection molding, and can reduce the cost. However, a large force acts when a bent portion is gripped and a pumping operation is performed. Here, it is formed of metal. In order to reduce the weight, a metal having a specific gravity of 5 or less, such as an aluminum alloy, a magnesium alloy, or a titanium alloy, is preferably formed by die casting. It may be made of the above-mentioned fiber reinforced resin.

At the rear end of the handle member 12, a tail plug 13 is detachably screwed. This tail plug can also be used for abdomen at the time of a pumping operation or the like. It also prevents the gripped hand from slipping behind. As shown in FIG. 7, the outer periphery of the front portion 12A of the handle member 12 is formed to have a step-like reduced diameter at a position P4, and is inserted and fixed in the tubular reel sheet body 10A. Also, the rear side portion 14A of the connecting member 14
The outer circumference is reduced in diameter to two steps as shown in the figure.
It is inserted and fixed in the front part 12A.

At the position P1, the front end face of the tubular reel sheet body is in contact with the first stepped end face of the connecting member 14, and at the position P4, the rear end face is the handle member 1
2 is in contact with the end face of the step. Therefore, the occurrence of a connection gap can be prevented, and the internal structure is not visible from the outside, so that the appearance is good. Further, at both positions P1 and P4, they are formed so as to be flush with each other so as to eliminate a step.

A front portion 12A of the handle member 12 is located on the outer periphery of the second step portion of the connecting member 14.
Normally, the distal end surface of No. 2 has some gap at the position P2, but is configured so that there is almost no gap. On the other hand, the rear side portion 14A of the connecting member 14 is located at the stepped position P2.
To a position P3 having a length L1 and a length L1
Numeral 1 is longer than half the length L0 of the cylindrical reel sheet body 10A, and is a triple laminated structure of a rear side portion 14A, a front portion 12A, and a cylindrical reel sheet body 10A from the inside, and the length is cylindrical. It is configured to be at least half the length of the reel sheet body.

The step position P2 (or the front end position of the front portion 12A) is shifted from the position P1, and here is about 10 m.
In addition, the position P4 and the rear end position P3 of the rear side portion 14A are shifted from each other so that the concentrated stress at each connection end portion is not overlapped. Therefore,
Strength is improved. Instead of the above-mentioned adhesive fixing, the tubular reel sheet body may be integrally formed with the handle member by injection molding. Further, the tubular reel sheet body may be formed of a prepreg and integrated at the time of forming the handle member.

A fixed hood 10F is provided at a front portion of the cylindrical reel sheet body 10A, and a male screw portion 1 is provided at an outer periphery of the rear portion.
0R is formed, and the moving hood 10F '
Is provided. A nut member 10C having an internal thread on the inner periphery that is screwed to the male screw is screwed to the male screw portion 10R to move the movable hood member back and forth. The nut member and the movable hood member are omitted from FIG.

The inclination angle θ of the inclined portion 14B of the connecting member 14 for offset is about 20 to 60 degrees,
Preferably about 45 degrees. The length GL is 80-1.
If it is about 50 mm, it can be easily gripped with a hand in the case of a pumping operation or the like, and the operation becomes easy. The lower surface of the connecting member, which can be such a gripping region, is provided with a flexible member 16 such as Jura cork (trade name), natural cork, or soft rubber.
To improve grip. Further, a member as light as possible is preferable. As shown by the two-dot chain line 16F, the shape of the lower surface side that can be a gripping area may be formed in a plurality of steps such as two steps. In this embodiment, the front end of the cylindrical reel sheet body 10A is immediately in front of the fixed hood 10F, and the length L of the connecting member extending forward from this front end position is short, about 30 mm. Therefore, it is not suitable to arrange the moving hood 10F 'on this side (front side).

The front end 14D of the front side 14C of the connecting member 14 extending in the direction of the rod end is also formed of the above-described metal, and has a cylindrical shape. When the former rod is dropped, the tip part collides with a rocky place or the like, and a synthetic resin material is used as a member having a buffering action in order to prevent plastic deformation of the former rod tip (the front part of the connecting member). A cylindrical member 18 such as a fiber-reinforced resin material is inserted into and fixed to the inner periphery 14S, and the distal end is exposed to the outside to cover the distal end of the metal original rod.
In addition, this insertion cylindrical member 18 prevents rattling and loosening when the rear ends of the inner rods are joined in parallel, improves the accuracy of the joints, and the metal original rod tip joints 14D are made of aluminum. In this case, it contributes to prevention of electrolytic corrosion when the inner rod to be joined is a rod pipe using carbon fiber. A hole WH for draining water is provided near the rear end of the tip portion 14D and at a lower position during use.
Is provided.

The cross section of the inclined portion 14B of the connecting member has a T-shape as shown in FIG. 5, and the front side portion 14C extending in the direction of the tip of the rod is connected to the cylindrical end portion 14D.
, The section is U-shaped as shown in FIG. U-shape is a broad term that also includes V-shape. Inclined part 1
The above-described gripping member 16 is provided on the lower side from 4B to the front side portion 14C, and a certain area of the gripping member 16 is gripped by the front hand to operate the fishing rod. Even if a strong bending force is applied to the rod as described above, the fishing rod has a large second moment of area that contributes to resistance to the bending direction (bending rigidity) of the rod, but the fishing rod is durable. In addition, since the hand is in contact with the flexible gripping member 16, the gripping feeling is good.

Even if the cross section of the inclined portion 14B is formed in a U-shape as shown in FIG. 6, the bending rigidity can be similarly increased. Furthermore,
If the fishing rod is not hollow (if it is an external fishing rod), the bending rigidity can be increased without inconvenience even if the cross section of the front side portion 14C is formed in a T shape as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is U-shaped in order to secure a space for a fishing line passage. The shape is not limited to the U-shape or the T-shape, and may be another shape in which the second moment of area in the bending direction (bending direction) of the rod is increased. As described above, in the T-shape, the flexible gripping members 16 can be sufficiently arranged in both side spaces of the longitudinal axis portion which is the lower side (back side) of the head, but even in the U-shape, as shown in FIG. In addition, a gripping member 16 can be provided below (on the back side). The vertical axis of the T-shape may be divided into several parts, and the inside may be hollow.

The reel R mounted on the reel mounting device 10
At the rear of the U-shaped space 14U, a U-shaped ceramic guide protruding into the space is mounted in order to guide the fishing line drawn out of the U-shaped space. In addition, a complete annular guide ring G2 made of ceramics is attached to the entrance to the above-described tip portion 14D. Width B of U-shaped guide
2 is formed smaller than the width B0 of the line guide RG of the dual-bearing type reel R and larger than the width B4 (shown in FIG. 2) of the annular guide. Thereby, before the fishing line pulled out from the reel is introduced into the inside rod, its deflection is gradually reduced, and the insertion resistance of the fishing line inside the rod tube can be reduced.

Accordingly, the width B1 of the rear portion and the width B3 of the front portion of the U-shaped space in FIG. 2 are formed in a substantially constricted shape so that B1 is larger than B3. The diameter of the portion 14C is made as small as possible to reduce the weight of the fishing rod. However, the width B3 may be set to the same extent as the width B1. The U-shaped guide G1 may be completely annular, and may be any shape of guide near the intersection of the inclined portion 14B and the front side portion 14C as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It may be attached substantially along the extension direction of the inclined portion (G1 ″), and further, it may be attached in a low state (G1 ′) that is inwardly dropped from the upper end surface of the U-shaped space.

FIGS. 8 to 10 show an example of a connecting structure replacing FIG. Items that are not particularly described are the same as those in FIG. In FIG. 8, the rear part 14A of the connecting member extends to near the rear end P4 of the cylindrical reel seat body 10A (P3), while the front part 12A of the handle member 12 is inserted into the rear part 14A. And extends somewhat forward (P2) from the front end position P1 of the tubular reel sheet body. In this case, the triple structure extends over substantially the entire length of the tubular reel seat body.

In the case of FIG. 9, a cylindrical member 20, which is a third reinforcing member slightly smaller in size than the cylindrical reel sheet body, is inserted into the cylindrical reel sheet body. The rear side portion 14A of the connecting member 14 and the front portion 12A of the handle member 12 are formed such that their outer circumferences are reduced in diameter in two steps, and a cylindrical reel seat body and a cylindrical member are provided on the end faces of the steps. 20
Of the rear side 14
A and the front part 12A are inserted and fixed so as to face each other at a substantially intermediate position (P3 and P2) of the tubular reel sheet body. From the point of view of appearance, abutment is made at positions P1 and P4 to prevent a gap, but at position P2 'or P4', some gap occurs between the end face of the cylindrical member and the end face of the step. obtain. Also in this case, the triple structure extends over most of the tubular reel seat body. Even if the cylindrical member 20 is formed integrally with the cylindrical reel seat body 10A, the strength of the connecting structure is similarly improved.

In the case of FIG. 10, a cylindrical member 20 ', which is a third reinforcing member longer than the cylindrical reel sheet body, is inserted into the cylindrical reel sheet body, and the rear portion is provided inside the handle member 12. It has been inserted up to position P4 '. On the other hand, the rear side portion 14A of the connecting member 14 is inserted inside the cylindrical member and reaches the position P3. In this case, 3
The heavy structure portion extends over a range longer than half of the tubular reel seat body. Even if the cylindrical member 20 'is formed integrally with the cylindrical reel seat body 10A, the strength of the connection structure is similarly improved.

The above is an example of a three-layer structure.
A stacked structure of four or more layers may be used. In the above description, the connecting member 14 has the front side portion 1 extending to the front side of the inclined portion 14B.
4C, but without this, at the end of the connecting part (upper end in FIG. 1), a splice hole for inserting and holding the rear end splicing part of the middle rod to be spliced to the front side. It may be a structure that only has.
