Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An element for evaluating a fishing rod is called "tone". This condition refers to the "bending condition" or "deformation mode" when a load is applied to the fishing rod, which is an elastic body, and indicates the strength (for example, mechanical breaking strength) or elasticity (for example, when the fishing rod is deformed) of the fishing rod. Quantity), but is essentially a separate element from these elements. That is, the fishing rod has
Even if the amount of deformation is large, there are fishing rods with high mechanical breaking strength (non-breakable fishing rod) and rods with low mechanical breaking strength (easy to break) despite small deformation amount, but what is the condition of the fishing rod? Such mechanical strength is not a problem, but the method of deforming the fishing rod is evaluated. In other words, the condition of the fishing rod has a character as what the so-called "seasoning" of the designer with respect to the characteristics of the fishing rod as a product, and the judgment as to whether the fishing rod is good or bad is greatly influenced by the subjectivity of the fisherman.

By the way, as tones of fishing rods, there are those generally called "tones" and those called "transfer tones". In this specification, in order to clearly distinguish the two, the tone of the fishing rod, which is generally called "tone," is defined as "general tone."

The "general condition" in this case is to evaluate the bending condition of the fishing rod when a relatively large load is applied from the rod tip through the fishing line, for example, when pulling a hooked fish. The "transfer condition" is to evaluate the bending condition of the fishing rod when a relatively small load is applied to the fishing rod from the angler's hand, for example, when a tackle is thrown in. Then, the transfer tone is specifically a characteristic of how the fishing rod follows the throwing motion of the tackle by the fisherman, and its evaluation is particularly divided depending on the subjectivity (preference) of the fisherman. It is a thing. However, the transfer condition of the fishing rod is still related to the basic performance of the fishing rod, that is, whether or not the fishing rod can be thrown into the target point accurately.

Generally, a fishing rod includes a fishing rod main body and a grip fixed to an end of the fishing rod main body and held by a fisherman. Due to such a structure, there is a correlation between the general condition of the fishing rod and the transfer condition, and it is extremely difficult to realize the mutually opposite conditions at the same time.

The condition of the fishing rod is created by designing the material constituting the fishing rod main body, as well as the outer diameter and the size of the taper. Therefore, in the conventional fishing rod, the condition of the fishing rod once designed and manufactured is peculiar to the fishing rod, and it is impossible for the fisherman to change the condition of the fishing rod. Therefore, even if the fishing rods on the market are not in the general condition, only the transfer condition is often not suitable for the angler's preference. I had no choice but to look for another fishing rod and buy it, or to give up the demand for such a fishing rod.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod capable of changing only the tone, particularly the swing tone.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] (1) As described above, the swinging condition of the fishing rod is a characteristic of how the fishing rod follows the delaying movement of the tackle by the fisherman. The inventor of the present application pays attention to this "delay with respect to the throwing motion of the angler", and in order to intentionally cause such a "delay", the connection structure between the fishing rod main body and the grip is firmly fixed as in the conventional case. I thought that it would be possible to change only the transfer tone without changing the general tone of the fishing rod by making it more gradual, instead of changing it.

(2) Therefore, a fishing rod according to the present application is a fishing rod including a fishing rod main body and a grip provided at a base end portion of the fishing rod main body, wherein the grip is provided with the elastic member to the base end portion. It is characterized in that it is fitted on.

According to this structure, since the grip is fitted into the base end portion of the fishing rod main body via the elastic member, the connecting portion between the grip and the fishing rod main body is not fixed, and the fishing rod main body with respect to the grip. Can be bent within a certain range. Therefore, when the tackle is thrown in, it is possible to further delay the following motion of the fishing rod with respect to the throwing motion of the fisherman. On the other hand, since the structure allows the bending of the fishing rod body only between the grip and the base end portion of the fishing rod body, the condition of the fishing rod body is not affected.

(3) The grip is formed in a tubular shape having a housing portion into which the base end portion is inserted, and the elastic member is
It can be formed in a tubular shape in which the base end portion can be fitted while being disposed in the accommodating portion.

According to this structure, the grip and the elastic member can be integrally formed, and by fitting the grip into the base end portion of the fishing rod body, the base end portion becomes the elastic member. It will be in a supported state. Even in this case, the connecting portion between the grip and the fishing rod main body is not fixed, and the fishing rod main body can bend within a certain range with respect to the grip. Therefore, when the tackle is thrown in, it is possible to further delay the following motion of the fishing rod with respect to the throwing motion of the fisherman. On the other hand, since the structure allows the bending of the fishing rod body only between the grip and the base end portion of the fishing rod body, the condition of the fishing rod body is not affected.

(4) Further, a plurality of the elastic members may be arranged in the accommodating portion along the fitting direction of the base end portion.

With this structure, at least both ends of the base end of the fishing rod body inserted into the accommodating portion can be supported by the elastic member. By supporting the base end portion of the fishing rod body in this manner, the fishing rod body can be flexed in a wider range with respect to the grip. Therefore, when the tackle is thrown in, it is possible to further delay the follow-up action of the fishing rod with respect to the throwing action of the fisherman.

(5) Further, the elastic members can be made of materials having different elastic coefficients.

With this configuration, the amount of bending of the fishing rod body with respect to the grip can be changed by changing the elastic coefficient of the elastic member. Therefore, when the tackle is thrown in, it is possible to set a desired degree of delay in the follow-up movement of the fishing rod with respect to the throwing movement of the fisherman.

(6) The grip may be detachably attached to the fishing rod body.

According to this structure, by flexibly preparing the plurality of grips having different kinds of elastic members and exchanging these grips, the deflection of the fishing rod main body with respect to the grips can be adjusted. Therefore, when the tackle is thrown in, it is possible to adjust the delay in the follow-up movement of the fishing rod with respect to the throwing movement of the fisherman.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the fishing rod 10 is constructed as a spatula rod, but it is not limited to a spatula rod and can be constructed as a fishing rod for various purposes such as a so-called mainstream rod in addition to a mountain stream rod. .

The fishing rod 10 includes a fishing rod main body 15 and a grip 16.
It has and. The fishing rod body 15 includes four joints 11 to 14
The first node 11 to the fourth node 14 are sequentially connected in the longitudinal direction. The fishing rod main body 15 can be configured by a larger number of joints.

The joints 11 to 14 are joined in a so-called side-by-side manner. The rear end portion of the first joint 11 is inserted into the front end portion of the second joint 12, and the rear end portion of the second joint 12 is connected to the first joint portion. It is inserted at the tip of section 3. The same applies to the relationship between the third section 13 and the fourth section 14. It is needless to say that the nodes 11 to 14 may have a so-called swing-out type structure.

Each of the joints 12 to 14 is formed in an elongated tubular shape, and can be manufactured in a known manner, for example, by winding a carbon fiber to form a tubular shape. Section 1 11
Is formed in a solid structure, but the first joint 11 may also be formed in a cylindrical shape. A fishing line connecting portion 23 for connecting the fishing line is formed at the tip of the first joint 11.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the main parts in FIG.
The structure of the grip portion is shown in detail.

The grip 16 is attached to the rear end of the fourth joint 14. The grip 16 is a portion that the fisherman actually grips when using the fishing rod 10, and the grip body 17 and the elastic member 18 provided in the grip body 17 are provided.
And have.

The grip body 17 is designed to be easy to grip.
The outer shape is formed in a substantially spindle shape as shown in the figure. However, the outer shape of the grip body 17 is not particularly limited as long as it is easy to grip. It should be noted that the outer peripheral surface of the grip body 17 may be treated to prevent slippage. In this embodiment, a thin thread (cotton thread, etc.)
It is fixed by wrapping it with and coating it with resin.

The grip body 17 can be made of wood, synthetic resin, metal or the like. Grip body 1
7 is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, and the space inside forms a housing portion 19. The housing portion 19 houses the base end portion 20 of the fourth section 14. That is, the grip 16 is fitted so as to cover the base end portion 20 of the fourth joint 14.

The elastic members 18 are fitted and fixed in the accommodating portion 19, and two elastic members 18 are arranged in the accommodating portion 19 in this embodiment. The elastic member 18 is formed in a cylindrical shape (longitudinal dimension a), and is made of, for example, nitrile rubber,
It can be made of urethane rubber or the like. The method of fixing the elastic member 18 is performed by, for example, an adhesive agent for the housing portion 1.
A method of fixing to the inner surface of 9 can be adopted. However, it is also possible to form an engaging portion (for example, a circumferential groove or the like) with which the elastic member 18 can engage on the inner surface of the housing portion 19 and fix the elastic member 18 to the engaging portion using an adhesive or the like. By fixing in this way, the elastic member 18 is accommodated in the housing portion 1.
Positioning within 9 can be ensured.

The base end portion 20 of the fourth section 14 is inserted into the accommodating portion 19 as described above, but specifically,
The elastic member 18 is fitted inside. The inner diameter of the elastic member 18 is set so as to correspond to the outer diameter d of the fourth joint 14. Therefore, the base end portion 20 of the fourth section 14 is not
The base end portion 20 is surrounded by and supported by the two elastic members 18 in the state of being inserted in.

In particular, the elastic member 18 is, as shown in the figure,
Since it is arranged at the entrance and the inner bottom of the storage unit 19,
Of the base end portion 20 inserted into the accommodating portion 19, the front end portion 21 (end portion of the fourth joint) and the rear end portion 22 are elastic members 1.
Will be supported by 8. The elastic member 18
The end surface of C is chamfered so that the base end portion 20 can be easily inserted, and a so-called C surface 24 is formed.

The fishing rod 10 according to this embodiment has the following operational effects.

The grip 16 is fitted into the base end portion 20 of the fishing rod body 15 (specifically, the fourth joint 14) via the elastic member 18. That is, the grip 16 is not fixed to the fishing rod body 15. Therefore, the grip 1
When a load is applied to the fishing rod main body 15 while holding the fishing rod 6, the elastic member 18 is deformed, and the fishing rod main body 15 can be bent with respect to the grip 16 within a certain range.

More specifically, in the actual fishing of spatula fishing, when the bait is attached to the needle and a tackle is to be put in, the fisherman holds the grip 16 and once stands up the fishing rod 10. While swinging the fishing rod main body 15 and the entire tackle connected to the grip rod main body 15 around the grip 16 held gently, the tackle is swung to a desired point. At this time, the resultant force of the weight of the tackle and its own weight (relatively small load) of the fishing rod body 15 is applied to the fishing rod body 15 through the grip from the angler's hand as a reaction force to the grip 16 at the time of inserting the tackle. As a result, the fishing rod body 15 is bent.

In other words, the fishing rod 10 as a whole follows the fishing tackle insertion operation of the fisherman.
By the fishing rod main body 15 bending with respect to the grip 16, the follow-up operation can be further delayed. This means that the swinging condition of the fishing rod 10 is changed. Moreover, since the fishing rod main body 15 has the same structure as the conventional one, the general condition of the fishing rod 10 does not change. That is, in the fishing rod 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to change only the swing tone without changing the general tone, and it is possible to provide the fishing rod with the tone that meets the demand of the angler.

Particularly, in this embodiment, the elastic member 18 is previously fixed to the accommodating portion 19 of the grip body 17, and the grip 16 is fixed.
Only can be manufactured. Therefore, the fishing rod body 1
5 is manufactured in the same manner as the conventional one, and the base end 2
Since the fishing rod 10 can be configured by fitting the grip 16 into 0, there is also an advantage that the manufacturing cost of the fishing rod 10 does not increase significantly.

Further, in the present embodiment, the base end portion 20 of the fourth joint 14 is fitted in the elastic member 18, but the elastic member 1
By appropriately setting the inner diameter of the grip 8, the grip 16 can be attached to and detached from the fishing rod body 15. That is, by setting the fitting between the elastic member 18 and the base end 20 to a predetermined value, the base end 20
With the elastic member 18 fitted in, the proximal end portion 20 is clamped by the elastic member 18 with a constant holding force by the tightening force. As a result, the grip 16 becomes detachable from the fishing rod body 15.

By making the grip 16 detachable as described above, a plurality of grips having different kinds of elastic members are prepared in advance, and by exchanging these grips, the bending of the fishing rod main body 15 with respect to the grip can be prevented. Can be adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to change only the swing tone of the fishing rod 10 to the tone desired by the fisherman.

Further, in this embodiment, two elastic members 18 are arranged in the accommodating portion 19 along the longitudinal direction of the fourth joint 14 (the fitting direction of the base end portion 20). The base end portion 20 is not supported between the two elastic members 18. Therefore, it is possible to design the fishing rod main body 15 so that it flexes in a wider range with respect to the grip 16, and thereby, the following operation of the fishing rod 10 can be further delayed. That is, there is an advantage that the designer can easily and freely design the swinging tone of the fishing rod 10.

Next, a modified example of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 3 shows a fishing rod 3 according to a modified example of this embodiment.
It is a principal part enlarged view of 0, and shows the structure of the grip 36 part in detail.

In this modification, the elastic member 18 and the elastic member 38 are provided inside the grip body 17. The elastic member 38 is made of a material similar to that of the elastic member 18, and is formed in a tubular shape.
It is set to b. Further, the elastic member 18 was provided with the C surface 24 at its end face, but the elastic member 38 had its end face 39 largely cut inward. By doing so, the elastic member 38 is more easily deformed.

According to this modification, since the elastic member 38 is further provided, the fishing rod main body 1 for the grip 16 is provided.
It is possible to accurately adjust the deflection of the rod 5, and as a result, the fishing rod 10 can be finely designed to perform a desired follow-up operation.

Further, the number of the elastic members 18, 38 can be variously changed, whereby the flexure of the fishing rod body 15 with respect to the grip 16 can be accurately adjusted as intended by the designer, and the desired swinging can be achieved. It is possible to provide a fishing rod having a condition. However, the elastic member may be a single member as shown in FIG.
As described above, even with the single elastic member 40, the fishing rod main body 15 can be flexed with respect to the grip 16 within a certain range. Therefore, only the swinging tone can be changed without changing the general tone of the fishing rod 10. You can

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment and modification,
Although the elastic members 18 and 38 are made of the same material, they may be made of different materials, that is, materials having different elastic coefficients. In this way, the elastic member 1
Since the flexures of 8 and 38 can be changed respectively, the flexure amount of the fishing rod main body 15 with respect to the grips 16 and 36 can be variously changed. Therefore, it is possible to more finely adjust the delay of the follow-up operation of the fishing rod 10 with respect to the inputting operation of the tackle, so that the swinging tone of the fishing rod 10 can be set with extremely high accuracy.

In the above-described embodiment and modification,
Although the aspect in which the present invention is applied to a fishing rod has been described, the structure according to the present invention has a structure for connecting a handle and a grip of a Makie cup used for fishing (especially for surf fishing, etc.), as well as a so-called tamnet. It can also be used in the connection structure between the handle and the grip.

[0047]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the fishing rod main body can be bent with respect to the grip within a certain range, when the tackle is thrown, the fishing rod follows the throwing operation of the angler. The operation can be delayed more and it does not affect the general condition of the fishing rod body. That is, it is possible to change only the transfer tone without changing the general tone of the fishing rod, and it is possible to provide the fishing rod with the tone that meets the demand of the angler.
