DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a finger protector for fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, casting using a spinning reel involves hooking a fishing line on an index finger of a hand holding a rod and a reel leg, and in this state, raising a bail arm of the reel to reversely position the fishing line at a fishing line payout position. Next, while the fishing rod is being swung forward, the forefinger is extended to release the fishing line.

According to such a casting method,
By effectively utilizing the characteristics of the spinning reel, the flight distance of the device can be extended. However, when an extremely long flight distance, for example, a flight distance exceeding 100 m is required, it is necessary to attach a heavy weight to the tip of the fishing line. When such a heavy weight is used, the tension applied to the fishing line is also increased, and as a result, when performing the casting, a remarkably large force is applied to the index finger, which causes an undesirably large load.

[0004] To solve such a problem, finger protectors have been developed and used.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-154714 discloses a fixed band portion wound around a wrist, a finger bag portion for protecting the index finger, and a connecting portion for connecting the finger bag portion to the fixed band portion. (Hereinafter referred to as "prior art 1").

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-114031 discloses a fishing finger protector having a basic structure including a fixed band portion, a finger sack portion and a connecting portion, similarly to the prior art 1 (hereinafter, referred to as "prior art 1"). "Prior art 2").

[0007]

However, in the prior art 1, since the connecting portion is located on the back side of the index finger, when the finger protector is used, the edge of the finger pocket portion is located on the ventral side of the index finger. I do. At the time of casting, since the fishing line comes into contact with the abdomen of the forefinger, the fishing line may be caught on the edge of the finger pocket portion, which may hinder proper casting.

Further, the connecting portion located on the back side of the index finger hinders the operation of bending the forefinger inward. In particular, when the connecting portion is made of an elastic tape as in the prior art 1, Hampers such an operation significantly. As a result, an uncomfortable feeling is caused in the extension / contraction operation of the forefinger, and when the fishing line is hooked with the forefinger for casting, the feeling may become dull and it may be difficult to perform appropriate casting.

Further, in consideration of easy exchange of baits and gimmicks, it is desirable that the finger-bag portion be detachable from the index finger while the fixed band portion is kept attached to the wrist. In the prior art 1, since the connecting portion is located on the back side of the index finger as described above, the more the index finger is bent inward, the closer the finger bag portion is to the index finger, and the higher the connection portion is. Unless it has elasticity, it is not easy to attach and detach only the finger-bag portion.

On the other hand, in the prior art 2, the finger pouch portion has a length capable of surrounding the entire forefinger, and the connecting portion is formed of an enclosure covering the entire palm. Although the problem that the fishing line sometimes gets stuck in the finger-bag portion is solved, the problem of discomfort caused by the extension and retraction of the index finger still remains unsolved. Further, in the prior art 2, it is impossible to attach / detach only the finger bag portion.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the fishing line from catching on the edge of the finger-bag portion during casting, reduce the sense of discomfort due to the attachment of the finger-bag portion, and further facilitate the attachment / detachment of only the finger-bag portion. An object of the present invention is to provide a finger protector for fishing.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention according to claim 1 comprises a fixed band portion (1) wound around a wrist and a finger-bag portion for protecting an index finger (F). (3) and a connecting part (2) for connecting the finger-bag part (3) to the fixed band part (1), wherein the finger-bag part (3) is the index finger. (F) has a length capable of surrounding only the distal end thereof, and the connecting portion (2) is formed of a strip extending in the length direction of the forefinger (F);
It is characterized by being located on the ventral side of the index finger (F).

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the fishing finger protector according to the first aspect, a thickness adjusting means (5) is provided on the finger-bag portion (3).
