DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing line guide for a fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing line guide provided on a fishing rod generally has a leg portion suspended from a fishing line guide portion having a fishing line guide hole toward the surface of a rod tube. The base is formed by bending along the direction, and the base is fixed to the surface of the rod pipe. In the fishing line guide disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-5493, the fishing line guide portion, the leg portion, and the base portion are integrally formed by bending a single wire.

In recent years, a fishing line guide 1 called a U guide as shown in FIGS. 24 to 26 has been used.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
In the fishing line guide disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 5493 or the like, a fishing line guide portion is provided by interposing a leg portion from the surface of the rod tube. There is a problem that it is difficult to detect. In addition, this fishing line guide is to fix the base of the fishing line guide to the front and back of the fishing line guide by applying the base to the front and back of the fishing line, and wrapping the fishing line around the base from above the base. Not only does the thread winding adversely affect the smooth deflection of the fishing rod,
There is also a problem that stress concentrates on the line winding portions before and after the fishing line guide when the fishing rod is bent. Furthermore, since this fishing line guide has legs that stand up from the surface of the rod pipe, when twists accumulate in the fishing line, the fishing line is easily entangled with the legs,
In addition, there is also a problem that the entangled fishing line is caught by the fishing line guide portion and is difficult to take.

A fishing line guide 1 serving as a U guide has a fishing line 3 passing through a U-shaped curved portion serving as a fishing line guide portion.
24, it is easy to detect the contact of fish, etc., and since the both ends of the wire are attached in parallel on the surface of the rod 2, the bending of the rod 2 is not hindered. As shown in the figure, since the U-shaped fishing line guide portion is inclined upward from the surface of the rod tube 2 toward the front, even if the fishing line 3 is inserted through the fishing line guide portion, if the tension of the fishing line 3 drops, There is a problem that the fishing line 3 hanging from the rod tip gets entangled with the fishing line guide 1. Further, since the fishing line guide 1 is opened to the surface side of the rod tube 2, the fishing line 3 passing through the inside of the fishing line guide 1 easily adheres to the surface of the rod tube 2 due to water, rain and the like. If the fishing line 3 adheres to the surface of the rod tube 2, it hinders the feeding operation and the winding operation of the fishing line 3. In the case of a swing-out type fishing rod, the inclination angle of the fishing line guide 1 is reduced, and the fishing line guide 1 is tilted and stored in the original rod tube 2. However, since the fishing line guide 1 has a spring property, The tip of the fishing line guide 1 is extended when the fishing rod is extended.
Problems such as damage to itself and damage to the inner surface of the rod tube 2 occur. The problem of damage to the inner surfaces of the fishing line guide 1 and the rod tube 2 occurs not only in the case of the swing-out fishing rod but also in the case of a jointed fishing rod in which a small-diameter rod tube is stored from the rear end of the original rod. The fishing line guide 1 is, as shown in FIG.
When the fishing line 3 is used facing the upper side of the rod tube 2, the fishing line 3 bites into the gap between the U-shaped fishing line guide 1 and the surface of the rod tube 2, so that the fishing line 3 cannot be extended, or the fishing line 3 is There is also a problem that the mounting portion 1 and the surface of the rod 2 are damaged, and the fishing line 3 itself is damaged. Also, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, when a load is applied to the fishing line 3 when the fishing line guide 1 is used facing the lower side of the rod tube 2, the fishing line 3 bites into the top of the U-shaped fishing line guide 1 and receives a large resistance. Also, there arise problems that the winding resistance of the fishing line 3 increases, the top of the U-shaped fishing line guide 1 is damaged, and the fishing line 3 is cut. Further, since the fishing line guide 1 swings in the front-rear direction with the winding and unwinding operations of the fishing line 3, there is a problem that bending fatigue is likely to occur.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing line guide which can solve the above-mentioned various problems.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a base (6) attached to a rod (5) so as to be separated from the surface of the rod from the base (6). A ring-shaped fishing line guide portion (8) is formed integrally with the top of the leg (7) so as to approach the surface of the rod tube from the top. The formed fishing line guide (4) is employed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fishing line guide according to the first aspect, wherein a second fishing line guide having a diameter larger than that of the fishing line guide is formed on the leg. (4) is adopted.

[0009]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment> As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of fishing line guides 4 are mounted on a rod tube 5 of a fishing rod at predetermined intervals.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, each fishing line guide 4 has a base 6 attached to a rod tube 5, a leg which is inclined upward from the base 6 and away from the surface of the rod tube 5. A portion 7 is integrally formed, and a ring-shaped first fishing line guide portion 8 which is inclined downward from the top toward the front of the rod 5 so as to approach the surface of the rod tube 5 is integrally formed at the top of the leg 7. It has a configuration. The fishing line guide 4 is made of one wire as described later, and the top of the leg 7 is formed at the intersection 9 of the wires. A second fishing line guide having an opening 7a communicating with the opening 8a of the first fishing line guide 8 is formed on the leg 7 of the fishing line guide 4 as necessary.

Each fishing line guide 4 is manufactured as follows. First, a ring-shaped fishing line guide portion 8 is formed by intersecting the center of one wire rod while bending it in a U-shape. next,
Extend the wires on both sides in parallel. Thereafter, the fishing line guide portion 8 is folded up so as to valley-fold the middle of the two parallel wire portions, and the fishing line guide portion 8 is inclined downward so as to further fold the intersection 9. Thereby, the fishing line guide 4 in which the ring-shaped fishing line guide portion 8, the leg portion 7, and the base portion 6 are integrated is formed. Of course, this manufacturing procedure can be appropriately changed.

The material of each fishing line guide 4 is a synthetic resin such as stainless steel, chrome-plated brass, nylon or polyacetal mixed with a reinforcing material. Because these materials have spring properties,
The fishing line guide 4 itself is also provided with a spring property.

The base 6 is formed of two wires extending parallel to the axis of the rod 5, and grooves 6 a are formed on the upper surface thereof at a predetermined pitch so as to cross the axis of the rod or the rod 5. You.
The fishing line guide 4 is fixed on the rod tube 5 by winding the fixing line 10 around the rod tube 5 from above the base 6. When the fixing thread 10 bites into the groove 6a of the base 6, the base 6
It is fixed firmly so that it does not fall off from between 0 and the rod pipe 5. On the fixing thread 10 wound around the rod tube 5, a protective film is formed by brush coating of epoxy resin, urethane resin, or the like.

The leg 7 rises obliquely upward from the base 6 on the surface of the rod tube 5 toward the rod tip, and supports the first fishing line guide 8 at its tip. The two legs 7 themselves form a second fishing line guide having an opening 7a approximately the same size as the opening 8a of the first fishing line guide 8.

The first fishing line guide section 8 descends obliquely downward from the tip of the leg section 7 on the surface of the rod tube 5 toward the rod tip. As shown in FIG. 3, the lowermost part of the first fishing line guide 8 is formed so as to float above the bottom surface of the base 6 by a distance H, and as a result, the tip of the first fishing line guide 8 is From the surface by the same distance H. of course,
The distance H may be eliminated so that the tip of the first fishing line guide 8 contacts the surface of the rod tube 5.

The opening 8a of the first fishing line guide section 8 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from directly above, it has an elliptical shape, but as shown in FIG.
6) are formed so as to present a true circle when viewed from the direction in which they pass. Oval, are for example, the width L _1, the vertical width and the shape represented by L ₁ = L ₂ sinα as L _2. The first fishing line guide portion 8 has a true circular opening 8a as viewed in the direction in which the fishing line 3 passes, so that the fishing line 3 can swing in the first fishing line guide portion 8 in the same width in the vertical and horizontal directions. Become
Therefore, the fishing line 3 is smoothly guided.

The first fishing line guide portion 8 is formed such that the lower end of the opening 8a is located above the upper surface of the base 6, and more desirably, a protective film formed on the upper surface of the base 6 (FIG. 25). (See Reference)). This prevents the fishing line 3 inserted into the first fishing line guide portion 8 from biting into the protective film.

The base 6, the leg 7, and the first fishing line guide 8 are arranged in an angular relationship as shown in FIG. 3, and the angle between the first fishing line guide 8 and the leg 7 is α. , The leg 7 and the base 6, that is, the surface of the rod 5 intersect at an angle β, and the first fishing line guide 8 and the surface of the rod 5 intersect at an angle γ. Desirably, each of β and γ is 30 ° to 45 °, more preferably α = 90 ° and β = γ = 45 °, in which case it is a right-angled isosceles triangle in side view.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wire intersects the axis of the rod 5 at the intersection 9 at an angle of about 45 °. Since the fishing line guide 4 has a spring property, it is desirable to bond the two wires at the intersection 9 in order to prevent the two wires at the intersection 9 from separating due to bending of the fishing rod or the like.

Next, the operation of the fishing line guide having the above configuration will be described.

The fishing line 3 is paid out from a reel attached to the base of a fishing rod (not shown), and is passed through a top guide 11 and a plurality of fishing line guides 4. In each fishing line guide 4, the fishing line 3 is passed through both the first fishing line guide portion 8 and the leg portion 7 as the second fishing line guide portion.

When the fishing line 3 is paid out, the leg 7 serving as the second fishing line guide portion sends the fishing line 3 to the first fishing line guide portion 8 after the deflection of the fishing line 3 is reduced.

Since the first fishing line guide portion 8 has an opening 8a which is substantially circular when viewed from the direction in which the fishing line 3 passes, the fishing line 3 in the first fishing line guide portion 8 is the same in the vertical and horizontal directions. It runs smoothly while swinging in width.

A fishing rod can be used with the fishing line guide 4 located above the rod tube 5. However, when the fishing rod is used with the fishing line guide 4 positioned below the rod tube 5, The fishing line 3 is guided at an intersection 9 between the leg 7 and the fishing line guide 8. When the intersection 9 is cut along a vertical plane including the axis of the rod 5 as shown in FIG. 5, the fishing line 3 is guided by a guide portion made of a single wire rod because it has an elliptical shape (see FIG. 26). As a result, it comes into contact longer, and can withstand a large load.

When storing the fishing rod, the fishing line guide 4
Of the fishing line guide 4 is lowered to push the fishing line guide 4 into the original rod. Since the crossing portion 9 has a shape in which the wire is bent in a mountain shape, the wire enters the rod tube 5 without cutting into the inner surface of the rod tube 5. Even when the fishing rod is swung out, the intersection 9 of the fishing line guide 4 is pulled out of the rod pipe 5 without digging into the inner surface of the rod pipe 5 and returns to its original shape.

<Embodiment 2> As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, an inclined portion 6b is formed at the rear end of the base 6 of the fishing line guide 4. Therefore, the upper surface of the base 6 smoothly moves to the surface of the rod tube 5.

As shown in FIG. 8, an opening 7a as a second fishing line guide formed in the leg 7 has an inner diameter L.
₂ is formed so as to be larger than the inner diameter L _{1 of} the first fishing line guide portion 8. As a result, the fishing line 3 inserted into the fishing line guide 4 is guided by the first fishing line guide portion 8 so as not to abut on the leg portion 7, so that the resistance to the fishing line 3 is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first fishing line guide 8 and the leg 7 intersect at an angle α = 120 °, and the leg 7
And the base 6, that is, the surface of the rod tube 5, intersects at an angle β = 30 °, and the angle between the first fishing line guide portion 8 and the surface of the rod tube 5 is γ =
Intersect at 30 °. Thereby, the position of the intersection 9 is lower than in the first embodiment.

<Third Embodiment> As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the two bases 6 of the fishing line guide 4 are overlapped so as to be arranged in the left-right direction. The two bases 6 may be integrally bonded by brazing or the like. Since the two bases 6 overlap, the fishing line guide 4 can be easily attached to the thin rod tube 5.

The leg portion 7 is curved outward in the left-right direction, and forms a second fishing line guide portion having a circular opening 7a similar to the opening 8a of the first fishing line guide portion 8. .

Fourth Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, a hard ring 12 made of a wear-resistant hard material is fitted into and fixed to a first fishing line guide portion 8 of the fishing line guide 4. I have. The hard ring 12 is formed of SiC, Al ₂ O ₃ , zirconia, or the like.

Since the fishing line 3 comes into contact with the hard ring 12, it is smoothly guided, and damage to the fishing line 3 is also prevented.

A hard ring may be fitted to the leg 7 as the second fishing line guide.

<Fifth Embodiment> As shown in FIG. 14, this fishing line guide 4 differs from the fishing line guide 4 of the fourth embodiment in that two bases 6 are overlapped. For this reason, the fishing line guide 4 can be easily attached to the thin rod tube 5.

<Sixth Embodiment> As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the base 6 of the fishing line guide 4 is inserted and fixed in the thickness of the annular body 13. When the annular body 13 is formed of resin, it can be insert-molded together with the fishing line guide 4. A groove 13a is formed around the annular body 13 to make it easier to hold with a finger.

The fishing line guide 4 is fixed on the rod pipe 5 by covering the annular body 13 on the rod pipe 5. The annular body 13 is loosely fitted to the rod tube 5 and is fixed at a predetermined position on the rod tube 5 because the diameter of the rod tube 5 increases toward the original side. Of course ring 1
3 may be used as a fixed guide by bonding to the rod tube 5.

<Seventh Embodiment> As shown in FIG. 17, the fishing line guide 4 is provided on a base 6 attached to a rod tube 5 (see FIG. 1). The legs 7 that are inclined upward to separate further are formed integrally,
A ring-shaped first fishing line guide 8 that is inclined downward from the top toward the front of the rod 5 so as to approach the surface of the rod tube 5 is integrally formed on the top of the leg 7. A second fishing line guide having an opening 7a communicating with the opening 8a of the first fishing line guide 8 is formed on the leg 7 of the fishing line guide 4 as necessary.

The fishing line guide 4 is formed by press-forming a metal material such as a stainless steel plate. That is, the contour of the fishing line guide 4 and the openings 7a and 8a are punched out of the metal plate, and are bent three-dimensionally as shown in FIG. By bending, a raised crest is formed between the leg 7 and the first fishing line guide 8.

<Eighth Embodiment> As shown in FIG. 18, this fishing line guide 4 has a single base 6 unlike the fishing line guide 4 of the seventh embodiment. For this reason, it can be easily attached to the small-diameter rod 5.

Ninth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 19, this fishing line guide 4 is different from the fishing line guide 4 of the eighth embodiment in that an opening 7a for passing the fishing line 3 between the left and right legs 7 is provided. Another opening 7b is formed.

<Embodiment 10> As shown in FIG.
This fishing line guide 4 is different from the fishing line guide 4 of the seventh embodiment in that a hard ring 1 for improving line sliding between a first fishing line guide portion 8 and a leg portion 7 as a second fishing line guide portion is provided.
2 is provided.

<Embodiment 11> As shown in FIG.
This fishing line guide 4 is different from the fishing line guide 4 of the eighth embodiment in that a hard ring 1 for improving the line slip between the first fishing line guide portion 8 and the leg portion 7 as the second fishing line guide portion is provided.
2 is provided.

<Twelfth Embodiment> As shown in FIG.
The fishing line guide 4 according to the tenth embodiment
Unlike this, the hard ring 12 is omitted from the second fishing line guide portion of the leg 7.

The two legs 7, 7 are formed such that the distance between them is larger than the inner diameter of the hard ring 12. Therefore, the fishing line 3 does not come into contact with the legs 7
Guided by 2.

<Thirteenth Embodiment> As shown in FIG.
The fishing line guide 4 according to the tenth embodiment
Unlike this, the hard ring 12 is omitted from the second fishing line guide portion of the leg 7.

The opening 7 of the second fishing line guide part by the leg part 7
a is formed such that its inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the hard guide 12. Therefore, the fishing line 3 is guided to the hard ring 12 without abutting on the leg 7.

In the present invention, the first and second fishing line guides and the hard ring can be formed in other shapes such as a triangle, in addition to a circle. In addition, the fishing line guide is attached to the surface of the rod tube by winding the line, and the fixed cylinder attached to the leg is attached to the rod surface, or the fixed cylinder is attached to the mounting seat formed on the outer surface of the rod tube. Can also be performed. Further, the fishing line guide of the present invention is not limited to a fishing rod of an outer guide type, and can be mounted on a through fishing rod. For example, by attaching a fishing line guide in the vicinity of an introduction guide for introducing a fishing line from outside the rod pipe of the through fishing rod into the rod pipe, the fishing line can be guided smoothly by the introduction guide.
Further, the fishing line guide is not limited to the wire rod, but can be formed by bending a plate material. Further, the fishing line guide can be processed not only by the bending processing but also by a die or the like. Further, the fishing line guide is fixed on the fishing rod with the first fishing line guide portion facing the rod tip, but may be mounted on the fishing rod with the front and rear reversed. Further, the two bases on the left and right of the fishing line guide may be respectively attached to the left and right side surfaces of the rod tube.

[0049]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the base attached to the fishing rod is integrally formed with a leg that is inclined upward from the base, and a ring that is inclined downward from the top is formed on the top of the leg. Since the fishing line guide portion in the form of a single piece is formed as a fishing line guide integrally formed, the following effects are obtained.

The front end of the fishing line guide for guiding the fishing line can be brought close to the surface of the rod pipe, and the hit of a fish or the like can be accurately detected.

Since the fishing line is guided by the ring-shaped fishing line guide portion, the fishing line hardly comes into contact with and adheres to the surface of the rod pipe, so that the fishing line can be smoothly fed and wound.

Even when the fishing line guide is used facing upward of the rod pipe, since the fishing line is guided by the ring-shaped fishing line guide portion, the fishing line bites into the corner between the leg and the surface of the rod pipe. Therefore, troubles such as stopping the payout of the fishing line do not occur.

Since the fishing line is guided by the ring-shaped fishing line guide portion, the fishing line guide does not swing back and forth with the winding and unwinding operations of the fishing line, so that bending fatigue can be prevented.

Since only one mounting point on the rod pipe is required for one fishing line guide, the rod pipe is bent smoothly.

Since the leg portion of the fishing line guide and the fishing line guide portion are bent in a mountain shape on the surface of the rod tube, the fishing line is hardly entangled, and the tension of the fishing line passed through the fishing line guide portion drops, and the fishing line drops from the rod tip. Even if the fishing line is entangled, the entangled fishing line can be easily removed by applying tension to the fishing line inserted through the fishing line guide portion.

Since the fishing line guide is formed so that the side surface is substantially triangular with the legs and the fishing line guide portion with respect to the surface of the rod tube, it is housed in another rod tube or taken out from another rod tube. At the time, it is slid and guided in another rod pipe by the triangular front and rear inclined surfaces. Therefore, damage in other rod pipes,
Damage to the fishing line guide itself can be prevented.

Since no equipment such as a mold is required, it can be easily manufactured.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the second fishing line guide having a diameter larger than that of the fishing line guide is formed on the leg, the fishing line fed from the reel attached to the base of the fishing rod. Is guided by a large-diameter second fishing line guide to reduce the runout of the fishing line, and then the fishing line can be sent to a fishing line guide ahead of the fishing line guide. The contact of the fishing line with the surface can be prevented. Therefore, the guide resistance to the fishing line can be reduced, the fishing line can be smoothly guided, and damage to the fishing line can be prevented.
