Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel such as a fishing reel, a cooler, or a small case for storing small items such as hooks and lures.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, the surface of the exterior member of the above-mentioned fishing equipment is designed to improve the appearance in appearance such as marks, decorations, patterns, etc., or various functions are displayed by characters or the like (for example, In the case of fishing reels, the used thread, the amount of winding and strength and the drag force are displayed, and in the case of the cooler, the display of the cooling capacity is displayed. It is attached at a position where it can be made by printing or the like.

[0003]

By the way, the above-mentioned fishing equipment may come into contact with other objects when it is carried (for example, collision of other objects or fishing equipment in a trunk of a car or movement of a fishing spot). In the case of a reel for fishing, in the case of a reeling operation and a releasing operation during actual fishing,
The palming plate is gripped and held, and the handle knob is held with fingers. That is, a rubbing external pressure is constantly applied to the surface of the exterior member of the fishing gear.

[0004] For this reason, the printed portion on the surface of the exterior member is scratched, worn, peeled off, or the like, so that the appearance becomes poor and corrosion is induced and progresses. In addition, there is a problem that the display of various functions becomes invisible, thereby making it difficult to use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and it is intended to reduce the appearance display function of a design such as a decoration, a pattern, and various function displays provided on the surface of an exterior member. Not intended to provide fishing equipment.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a fishing tackle of the present invention is provided with a transparent coating on the surface of an exterior member having a character, symbol, pattern, decoration or the like on the surface. It is characterized in that such a design is made visible through a transparent film layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a dual-bearing type reel will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing the entire structure of a dual-bearing type reel. The dual-bearing type reel 1 includes a reel body 2 having left and right side plates 1a and 1b, a spool 5 rotatably supported between the left and right side plates and around which a fishing line is wound, and a handle 7 for winding and driving the spool 5. It has.

A palming plate 9 is disposed between the left and right side plates 1a and 1b. At the time of winding the fishing line during actual fishing, the left side plate 1a is held by the left hand, and the thumb is placed on the palming plate 9. You. The handle 7
A handle knob 10 which is gripped by the fingers of the hand when the fishing line is wound is attached to the end of the handle.

The materials of the constituent members (exterior members) such as the reel body 2, the handle 7, the palming plate 9, the handle knob 10, and the like are not limited. Made of metal materials such as magnesium alloys, aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, and iron alloys; hard resins such as ABS, PC, and nylon; soft resins such as PE and urethane; rubber-based materials; and materials such as cork. Can be. In addition, the surface of the exterior member formed of these materials may be subjected to a surface polishing treatment as necessary, or a chemical treatment such as chromic acid treatment, heavy chromate treatment, stannate treatment, painting, anodizing treatment, etc. An anticorrosion layer may be formed, or a corrosion resistant film may be formed on such an anticorrosion layer by a dry coating method (CVD method, sputtering method, vacuum evaporation method, ion plating method, or the like).

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, showing a sectional structure of the palming plate 9, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 1, and is a view showing a cross-sectional structure of the handle knob 10.

On the surfaces of the palming plate 9 and the handle knob 10 (exterior member), designs 9a, 10a such as characters, symbols, patterns, decorations, etc. are formed. In this case, the designs 9a and 10a can be formed by, for example, spray coating, electrostatic coating, powder coating or the like, wet plating, metal dry coating, or attaching a member such as a seal or a photograph. .

A transparent film layer 15 is formed on a portion where such a design is formed. In this case, the transparent coating layer 15 is appropriately formed by a method such as painting (hand-blown, electrostatic), a dry coating method, mold molding, or the like.

The thickness of the transparent coating layer 15 is not particularly limited, but when a hard material such as a metal or a hard resin is suitable for the outer member, such as the palming plate 9, the outer member may be used. Since the transparent film is reinforced in strength, for example, about 0.01 to 0.1 mm is considered to be an allowable range, and can be formed by painting or dry coating. When a material such as a soft resin, a rubber-based material, or cork is suitable for the exterior member as in the case of the handle knob 10, a thick stable film layer is required. It is considered to be a range and can be formed by die molding or the like.

As a material for forming the transparent film layer 15, a material such as polyamide, polyurethane, epoxy, or acrylic is appropriately selected and used. In particular, a finger is always held or held like a handle knob. For the part,
Urethane-based materials that are soft and provide a good fit are preferred. In addition to forming the design on the surface of the exterior member, the design may be formed on the inner surface side of the material for forming the transparent film layer as described above.

As described above, since the surface of the design portion formed on the palming plate 9 or the handle knob 10 is protected by the transparent film layer 15, the surface is protected from being scratched during carrying or actual use. There is no abrasion or peeling, good appearance can be maintained at all times, and the effect of corrosion resistance can be obtained. In particular, even when a design is applied to a portion where a finger or the like always contacts, the design can be reliably protected. And, even in the exterior part made of a soft material and the exterior part having a complicated shape, by using the mold molding method, the transparent film layer can be formed thickly and stably, and the design formed there can be obtained. It can be protected reliably.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the dual-bearing type reel, the present invention can be applied to various types of fishing equipment such as coolers, accessory cases, fishing rods, and the like.

[0018]

According to the fishing implement of the present invention, the appearance display function of a design such as a character, a symbol, a decoration, or a pattern attached to the surface of the exterior member does not deteriorate.
