Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod and, more particularly, to a structure of a floating guide in a swinging out guide rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Among fishing rods, out guide rods for swinging,
In other words, a swing rod provided with an out guide (thread guide) is very convenient to carry because it can sequentially store each rod in the original rod. For example, in the case of a four-type swinging out guide rod, each rod, that is, the front of the former rod, the ear rod, and the head rod can be sequentially stored in the former rod. In the guide rod of the out guide, a top guide is fixed at the tip of the tip of the head rod, and a lip guide is fixed at each tip from the holding rod to the former rod. A plurality of floating guides are slidably provided on each rod.

[0003] When the rods are used by swinging them out, each rod is pulled out from the tip rod. At this time, in the out guide rod, each out guide to the mouth guide of the former rod is adjusted to a position corresponding to the top guide of the tip rod with reference to the top guide of the tip rod. In other words, by attaching so that the center of each guide ring from the top guide to the mouth guide of the former rod is placed on a position on a straight line,
During casting, the fishing line can be guided smoothly.

The conventional floating guide includes a guide ring for guiding the fishing line and a mounting portion having a through hole for slidably mounting the fishing line on a rod, and these are fixed by a support. The floating guide is fixed by holding its mounting portion in pressure contact with the rod. That is,
The fixed state of the floating guide can be maintained by the frictional resistance generated between the mounting portion and the rod.

However, the pressure contact area (fixing area) of the mounting portion is short, and the fixing strength of the floating guide cannot always be sufficiently satisfied. That is, since the frictional resistance generated between the mounting portion and the rod is small, the fixed state of the floating guide cannot be reliably maintained. When the rod is operated, particularly in casting, a force is applied to the floating guide due to a rod run-out, bending of the rod, and a run-out of the fishing line (line run-out). At this time, since the fixed state is weak, the floating guide is easily loosened and comes off.

If one of the floating guides comes off, the floating guide and the front and rear fixed out guides will be out of phase and will not be able to ride on a straight line, resulting in a deviation in the yarn running path. As a result, useless resistance occurs in the fishing line traveling during this time, and the fishing line cannot be released smoothly. It is also common to experience that the free floating guide is rotated, thereby causing the fishing line to become entangled with the rod.

On the other hand, when the floating guide is fixed to the rod,
For example, if it is a tip rod, assuming an extension of the center of the guide ring of the reference top guide, so that the center of the guide ring of the floating guide is located on the extension, sequentially from the floating guide on the tip side of the rod, I will fix it. However,
In such a method of fixing the floating guide, as the distance from the top guide increases, the reference extended line becomes ambiguous, and it is difficult to accurately position and fix the floating guide in a straight line. As described above, the conventional floating guide is not always sufficiently satisfactory from the viewpoint of fixing force and positioning.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [First Embodiment] A preferred embodiment of a fishing rod provided with a floating guide according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a part of a tipping rod and a holding rod of a drawing rod provided with an out guide (including a floating guide). Here, a description will be given below of a swinging rod A having an out guide constituted by a total of four piece rods (rod rods) in front of the former rod and the former rod in addition to the head rod 1 and the holding rod 2 (not shown). ).

In the rod A, a plurality of out guides are attached to each rod at regular intervals from the original rod to the top guide 1A at the tip of the head rod 1. More specifically, a top guide 1A, which is an out-guide, is attached to the tip of the tip rod 1 by extrapolation and fixation. In addition, the tip rod 2, the front of the former rod, and the tip of the former rod (mouth portion). , A so-called mouth guide, which is an out guide, is extrapolated and fixed.

A plurality of slidable (slidable and rotatable) out guides, for example, floating guides (3A, 3B, 3C) are provided between the top guide 1A and the mouth guide 2A at the tip of the ear rod 2. ) Is usually provided. Similarly, although not shown, a plurality of floating guides are also provided between the mouth guide of the ear rod and the mouth guide in front of the former rod, and between the mouth guide in front of the former rod and the mouth guide of the former rod.

In the present invention, the structure of the floating guide 3 is characterized, and the structure will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a yarn guide constituting the floating guide. FIG.
It is a diagram showing a pipe body constituting a floating guide,
(A) is a side view, and (B) is a plan view as viewed from below. 4A and 4B are views showing a floating guide of the present invention, wherein FIG. 4A is a perspective view, and FIG. 4B is a side view. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an enlarged cross section of the floating guide.

The floating guide 3 of the present invention comprises a pipe 5 which is externally inserted into a rod and held by pressure, and a foot 4
And a thread guide 4 fixed via 3. As will be described later, in the floating guide 3, the length of the pipe 5 is larger than the diameter of the pipe 5, and the length of the pipe 5 is larger than the length of the foot 43 of the thread guide 4. Is big. Here, the foot portion 43 is a portion in contact with the surface of the rod.

As shown in FIG. 2, the line guide 4 includes a guide ring 41 for directly guiding the fishing line, a guide ring fixing portion 42 for supporting the line, and a foot portion (one leg portion) 43 fixed to the pipe body 5. In this example, the guide ring fixing portion 42 is formed in an inclined shape. The foot 43 is directly attached to and fixed to the pipe body 5.

Incidentally, the feature of the slanted line guide 4 is that the guide ring fixing portion 42 is a guide that is slanted at a fixed angle with respect to the axis in the longitudinal direction of the rod. In the case of entanglement, there is a merit that the entanglement is easily canceled by receiving a pulling force. In other words, by pulling the fishing line, the fishing line slides along the outer wall of the guide ring fixing portion 42 and gets over the outer wall to be released.

It is preferable that a projection 43A for preventing thread breakage is formed on the upper surface of the foot 43 of the thread guide 4, and a groove 43B for providing flexibility at the same position is formed. The groove 43B allows the leg 43 of the thread guide to bend following the bending of the rod (the bending of the pipe body 5). Further, as described later, the thread guide 4 can be attached to the pipe body 5 with sufficient strength without breaking the thread by the projection 43A.

Now, as shown in FIG. 3, the pipe 5
As described above, in a state where the leg portion 43 of the thread guide is fixed, the thread guide is externally inserted into the rod and held in pressure contact. As a material of the pipe body, a material used for a material of the rod, for example, a carbon reinforced fiber, a synthetic resin material or the like is used.
As described above, the length of the pipe body 5 is designed to be larger than the diameter of the pipe body 5 and larger than the length of the foot 43 of the thread guide.

By designing in this way, the pressure contact area (fixed area) of the pipe body 5 which is externally inserted into the rod and held by pressure contact
Becomes sufficiently long, the frictional force increases, and the pressure contact holding force of the pipe body 5 increases. Therefore, the floating guide 3 can be securely pressed against the rod and fixed. For this reason, even when a force is applied to the floating guide 3 as in the related art, the loose guide 3 does not easily loosen and slide in the rod axis direction or rotate around the rod axis.

That is, the pipe body 5 functions as a slide stopping function of the floating guide 3 and also functions as a rotation preventing function of the floating guide 3. Incidentally, if the inner peripheral surface of the pipe body 5 is roughened or knurled in order to improve the sliding stop function and the detent function, more effective merit can be obtained.

Here, both ends of the pipe body 5 are notched obliquely (notches 51) so that pointed portions 52 are formed at both ends of the pipe body 5 (FIG. 3). (B)). The first reason for notching both ends of the pipe body 5 in this way is that, by forming the pointed portions 52 at both ends of the pipe body 5, when the floating guide 3 is fixed to the rod, This is because it can function as a reference mark for positioning.

The second reason is to keep the bending of the pipe as much as possible. When the rod is bent,
The notch 51 of the pipe body serves as an escape portion acting to release the rod, and the rod to which the long pipe body 5 is fixed is partially hardened, and the balance of the bending of the entire rod A is impaired. To prevent. The third reason is to provide a notch 51 in the pipe body to reduce the weight while maintaining the length.

Next, how to attach the yarn guide 4 and the pipe body 5 of the present invention will be described. First, the thread guide leg 43 is placed on the pipe body in contact with the thread guide. At that time, thread guide 4
Is attached to the pipe body 5 with its feet aligned with the pointed portion 52 of the pipe body 5 as a reference. Here, in order to attach the thread guide 4 more efficiently and reliably, it is more preferable to provide the mark 6 on the extension of the tip portion of the pointed portion 52 (see FIG. 4A).

Next, a yarn wire is wound from above the foot portion 43 of the yarn guide 4 and the yarn guide 4 is strongly tightened and fixed to the pipe body 5. In this way, the upper thread layer 7 is formed, and the foot 43 of the thread guide can be strongly pressed and fixed to the pipe body 5. Although not shown, it is preferable that the upper thread layer and the foot are completely covered with a synthetic resin material to form a protective film, so that the fixing strength is further increased.

Here, as described above, it is preferable that the leg 43 of the thread guide is formed with the projection 43A for preventing thread breakage, and the groove 43B for providing flexibility at the same position.

When a large stress is applied between the thread guide 4 and the pipe body 5 by the groove 43B, the foot 43 of the thread guide 4 can follow the bending of the pipe body 5, and furthermore, the projection 43A
Is caught between the yarns, thereby preventing the upper yarn layer 7 from loosening and causing yarn breakage. By the way, at the time of manufacturing, also in the step of winding the yarn wire, there is an advantage that the wound yarn wire does not slip and move due to the projection 43A of the foot portion, and no gap is generated between the yarns of the upper yarn layer 7. Thus, the attachment of the thread guide 4 to the pipe body 5 is completed.

[Method of Fixing the Floating Guide to the Rod] By the way, each rod (the front of the former rod, the ear rod, the head rod) that has been stored in the former rod is sequentially drawn out from the head rod 1 sequentially. And use it. In the drawing rod A, the top guide 1A is set based on the top guide 1A of the tip rod.
To the position that exactly corresponds to the top guide 1
It must be mounted so that the center of each guide ring from A to the mouth guide of the former rod is placed on a straight line.

Normally, a mark is provided on the surface of the rod at the joint between the head rod and the ear rod, the joint between the ear rod and the former rod, and the joint between the former rod and the former rod. When the pole is added while the marks are aligned, each fixed mouth guide corresponds to the top guide (not shown). Here, the floating guide provided on each rod can be attached to an accurate position so as to correspond to the top guide 1A (hereinafter, a method of fixing the floating guide 3 of the tip rod 1 will be described).

When the floating guides 3 are fixed, the floating guides are fixed sequentially from the floating guides provided on the rod tip side of each rod.
When fixing the first floating guide 3A on the tip side of the tip rod 1 (see FIG. 1), the tip of the pointed portion 52 of the pipe body is
It is fixed to the center of the guide ring of the reference top guide 1A.

At this time, since the distal end portion of the pipe body 5 is formed in a pointed shape, the first floating guide 3A only has to be aligned with the position pointing to the center of the guide ring of the top guide 1A, and orientation can be easily performed. . Also, in the pipe body 5,
If the mark 6 reminiscent of the extension of the center of the guide ring of the top guide 1A as described above is provided, the orientation is easier.

As described above, the position where the first floating guide 3A corresponds to the top guide 1A, that is, the center of the guide ring of the top guide 1A and the center of the guide ring 42 of the first floating guide 3A are located on the same line. Can be put on. Similarly, the second floating guide 3B is positioned and fixed based on the first floating guide 3A. Similarly, if the third floating guide 3C is fixed so as to correspond to the second floating guide 3B, the respective floating guides are placed and fixed on the same line as a whole.

[Second Embodiment] FIGS. 6A and 6B are views showing a floating guide, wherein FIG. 6A is a perspective view and FIG. 6B is a side view. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing an enlarged cross section of the floating guide. As shown in FIG. 6, the floating guide 3 here has a guide ring fixing portion 42 formed vertically.

The floating guide 3 is fixed to a pipe body 5 in which the leg portion 43 of the yarn guide is externally inserted into a rod and held by pressure, and the length of the pipe body 5 is larger than its diameter. The length of the foot portion 43 is larger than that of the first embodiment, as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the floating guide 3 can be securely pressed and held on the rod and fixed, and the floating guide 3 does not slide or rotate during the rod operation.

When attaching the floating guide 3, the pointed portion 52 of the pipe serves as a reference for positioning. Note that, unlike the first embodiment, the foot 43 of the thread guide
A plurality (two in this case) of protrusions 43A for preventing thread breakage and grooves 43B for imparting flexibility are formed on the upper surface of the slab.

[Third Embodiment] FIGS. 8A and 8B show a floating guide, wherein FIG. 8A is a perspective view and FIG. 8B is a side view. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing an enlarged cross section of the floating guide. The floating guide 3 here has a guide ring fixing portion 42 formed vertically. The thread guide 4 has both feet. On both sides of the guide ring fixing section 42, there are provided feet 43 for directly attaching and fixing to the pipe body 5.

The foot 43 is fixed to a pipe body 5 which is externally inserted into a rod and held in pressure contact. Here, the length of the pipe body 5 is larger than its diameter. Is greater than the length of Since the thread guide 4 has both feet,
The pipe body 5 is longer than in the above embodiment. It is to be noted that each of the feet 43 is provided with a groove 43B for imparting flexibility to the upper surface thereof and a projection 43A for preventing thread breakage as in the above-described embodiment.

Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited only to the embodiment, and it goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the essence of the present invention. For example, although the embodiment has been described as a floating guide, it can be used as a fixed guide other than the swing rod. The shape of the notch of the pipe body may be a shape other than the inclined shape. Also, the protrusions and grooves on the feet are not necessarily required.

[0046]

As described above, in the present invention, the positioning and fixing of each floating guide can be performed very accurately. In addition, since the floating guide is reliably held in pressure contact with the rod, it is prevented from loosely sliding or rotating.
