TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing rod end plug used for fishing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional fishing rod has a base rod, a plurality of middle rods connected to the head side of the base rod in a swing-out or parallel manner, and a head rod connected to the head side of the center rod. Generally, a reel sheet to which a reel can be detachably attached is formed on the original rod, and a stopper called a butt plug is detachably attached to an end of the original rod by a screw type or the like (for example, see Patent Document 1). 1). Then, the angler mounts a reel on the reel sheet, grips the vicinity of the reel sheet of the original rod, the end on the rod side, and performs fishing operations such as casting and retrieval.
[0003]
By the way, at the time of retrieving after casting or winding of the fishing line, in order to suppress the wobbling of the rod at the tip of the ear, the rod end side of the former rod is applied to a part of the body (for example, chest or belly) to operate the reel. May be performed. By performing the reel operation in this manner, the speed at which the reel is wound during retrieval, the angle at which the fishing rod is held, and the like are stabilized, and the fishing is performed while changing the angle at which the fishing rod is held or swinging the fishing rod left and right. Therefore, there is also provided a fishing rod in which a belly pad or the like is separately attached to a rod base end of the former rod (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0004]
However, in the conventional fishing rod equipped with the above-described general tail plug, the angler performs the fishing operation while pressing the tail plug against the belly, the chest, or the like. Therefore, when the angler changes the angle of the fishing rod or swings the fishing rod to the left or right, the screw may be loosened to the rod body due to the rotation of the buttocks together. On the other hand, when the loosening of the screw is not accompanied, the tail plug may not be easily slipped on the angler's belly and the fishing operation may be difficult.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a butt plug capable of performing a fishing operation smoothly while pressing against a body.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The butt plug according to Invention 1 is a plug which is detachably attached to a rod-side end portion of a rod body constituting a fishing rod, and is a cylindrical body having a portion to be attached to the rod body on an outer peripheral surface. A main body having a window portion formed on an end surface, a sphere rotatably housed in the main body portion such that a part of the main body portion is exposed to the outside of the main body portion, and a lid for closing a tip end side end surface of the main body portion Section.
[0009]
After attaching the attachment part of the body part of the buttocks to the end of the rod body side, the angler puts this buttocks on the belly or chest to perform a fishing operation. At this time, the sphere exposed to the outside from the window portion hits the belly, the chest, and the like. When a fishing operation is performed by swinging and rotating the fishing rod up, down, left and right, the sphere rotates with the operation of the fishing rod, and the main body itself does not rotate. Therefore, for example, even if the mounting portion is screw-type, it does not come loose and the butt plug does not come off, and even if the mounting portion is fitted, the butt plug does not come off. Also, the up, down, left, right, and rotational movements of the fishing rod are smooth.
[0010]
The buttocks of Invention 2 are the buttocks of Invention 1, wherein the rod-side end surface of the main body is spherically formed so as to project in the direction of the bottom of the rod.
The rod base end surface of the main body itself is spherical, so that not only rotation of the sphere but also the sliding of the rod base end surface of the body part of the buttocks other than the sphere, the fishing rod's up, down, left, right or rotating motion is smooth become.
[0011]
The buttocks of invention 3 are the buttocks of invention 1 or 2, wherein the lid is a rubber body and urges the sphere toward the base of the pole.
The lid urges the sphere toward the base of the rod, so that even if the angler presses the rod-side end face of the main body with the sphere exposed to the abdomen, the sphere remains partially outside the main body. Is always exposed.
[0012]
A tail plug according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the tail plug according to any of the first to third aspects, wherein a through-hole that penetrates the lid in the axial direction is formed.
For example, in a fishing rod or the like, water attached to the fishing line together with the fishing line often enters the inside of the rod body. The water that has thus entered the rod body flows to the base end of the rod and flows out from the through hole of the lid toward the sphere. Then, the water is drained to the outside through a gap between the sphere and the window portion. In particular, since the sphere rotates and drains water from the gap with the window portion, conversely, intrusion of sandstone or the like from the outside into the inside is eliminated.
[0013]
A fishing rod according to a fifth aspect of the present invention includes the rod body and the tail plug according to any one of the first to fourth aspects.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a fishing rod equipped with a tail plug 10 employing the first embodiment of the present invention. This fishing rod includes a former rod 1, a former upper rod 2, a first middle rod 3, a second middle rod 4, and a head rod 5 which are sequentially connected to the tip side thereof in a swinging-out manner. Each of the former rod 1 to the ear tip 5 is a tapered cylindrical member obtained by winding a prepreg in which carbon fiber or glass fiber is impregnated with a synthetic resin on a mandrel and firing it. A fitting portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip end side or the inner peripheral surface of the rod end side so that each rod body can be sequentially connected and fixed in a state of being swung to the tip side.
[0015]
A reel sheet 6 to which a reel 7 can be detachably attached is arranged on the peripheral surface of the original rod 1, and an original rod 10 described later is detachably attached to an end of the original rod on the rod base side. A fishing line introduction port 9 for introducing the fishing line L from the reel 7 into the inside of the rod body is formed on the peripheral surface on the tip side of the former upper rod 2. A top guide 8 is detachably attached to the tip end of the tip rod 5. Then, the fishing line L from the reel 7 is introduced into the former upper rod 2 from the fishing line introduction port 9, is sequentially inserted into the rod body on the tip side, and is led out from the top guide 8.
[0016]
Next, the buttocks plug 10 attached to the rod base side end of the former rod 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
The butt plug 10 includes a substantially cylindrical main body 11, a sphere 12 housed in the main body 11, and a lid 13 for closing the tip side of the main body 11.
The main body 11 has a thread portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of a thread groove to be screwed into a thread groove formed on an inner peripheral surface of a rod-side end portion of the former rod 1, and a rod portion continuous with the thread portion. It has a head portion that is larger in diameter than the screw portion and protrudes in a flange shape along the outer diameter of the original rod 1. It is made of metal or hard synthetic resin. Although the inside of the main body 11 penetrates in the axial direction, the rod-side end surface (the end surface on the head portion side) is formed in a hemispherical shape that is convex in the rod-side direction. The vicinity of the center in the radial direction of the rod-side end surface is the window portion 11a. The window portion 11 a is a window having a smaller diameter than the opening at the tip end side of the main body 11, and is set smaller than the diameter of the sphere 12. Further, a thread groove is separately formed on the inner peripheral surface on the tip side of the main body 11.
[0017]
The spherical body 12 is a spherical member made of metal or hard synthetic resin. The main body 11 is housed in the above-mentioned main body 11, and a part thereof is exposed to the outside from the above-mentioned window portion 11 a toward the base of the main body 11.
The lid 13 is a lid plug that closes the opening on the tip side of the main body 11. It is made of elastic rubber such as urethane rubber. The cover portion 13 has a screw portion 13a having a screw groove on an outer peripheral surface thereof to be screwed with a screw groove on an inner peripheral surface of the tip side of the main body portion 11, and a smaller diameter than the screw portion 13a on the rod side of the screw portion 13a. The contact portion 13b protrudes toward the base of the rod, and the head portion 13c protrudes like a flange on the tip side of the screw portion 13a so as to have a large diameter along the outer diameter of the main body portion 11. The rod-side end surface of the abutting portion 13b has a spherical surface recessed toward the tip of the ear, and abuts on the sphere 12 described above. In addition, a through-hole is formed in the lid portion 13 to penetrate in the axial direction from the head portion 10c to the contact portion 13b. Any number of through holes can be set.
[0018]
After screwing the threaded portion of the main body 11 of the tail plug 10 to the end of the original rod 1 on the base side of the rod, the angler hits the tail plug 10 against the belly or chest to perform a fishing operation. At this time, the sphere 12 exposed to the outside from the window portion 11a of the main body portion 11 toward the base of the rod hits the belly, the chest, and the like. When the fishing operation is performed by swinging or rotating the fishing rod up, down, left and right, the sphere 12 rotates with the operation of the fishing rod, and the main body 11 itself does not rotate. Since the main body 11 does not rotate unnecessarily, the butt plug 10 does not easily come off without unnecessarily loosening the main body 11 with the screw 1. In addition, the vertical or horizontal movement or the rotation of the fishing rod also makes the fishing rod vertically, horizontally or rotationally smooth.
[0019]
Further, in a so-called through rod in which a fishing line such as the above-mentioned fishing rod is inserted through the inside of the rod body, water enters the rod body together with the fishing line L which is wound up on the reel 7 and returns from the top guide 8 into each rod body. When the fishing rod is swung up or the like, the water that has entered the rod body flows to the base end of the rod, and flows into the sphere 12 from the through hole of the lid 13 of the buttocks 10. Then, water is drained to the outside through the gap between the sphere 12 and the window portion 11a as the sphere 12 rotates. At this time, sand and stones are unlikely to enter from the outside.
[0020]
In the butt plug 10, the cover 13 is screwed to the main body 11, and by adjusting the degree of screwing, the contact portion 13b of the cover 13 is urged against the sphere 12. The degree can be adjusted. The degree of screwing can be adjusted to produce a desired rotation condition of the sphere 12.
[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment, which is a modification of the above embodiment, will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 4, the butt plug 20 adopting the second embodiment is also detachably attached to the rod base side end of the former rod 1 as in the first embodiment. The butt plug 20 also includes a substantially cylindrical main body 21, a sphere 22 housed in the main body 21, and a lid 23 for closing the tip side of the main body 21.
The main body 21 has a thread portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of a thread groove to be screwed into a thread groove formed on an inner peripheral surface of a rod-side end portion of the original rod 1, and a rod portion continuous with the thread portion. It has a head portion that is larger in diameter than the screw portion and protrudes in a flange shape along the outer diameter of the original rod 1. The structure of the window portion on the rod-side end surface is the same as that of the first embodiment, but no separate thread groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the main body 21 on the tip side.
[0022]
The sphere 22 is the same as in the first embodiment. It is housed in the main body 21 so that a part thereof is exposed from the window portion.
The lid 23 is a lid plug that closes the opening on the tip side of the main body 11. It is made of elastic rubber such as urethane rubber. The lid portion 23 has a fitting portion 23 a having an outer peripheral surface fitted on the inner peripheral surface on the tip side of the main body portion 21, and a flange having a large diameter on the tip side of the fitting portion 23 a and along the outer diameter of the main body portion 21. And a head 23b that protrudes in a shape. The rod-side end face of the fitting portion 23a has a spherical surface that is recessed toward the tip side, and is in contact with the above-mentioned sphere 22.
[0023]
Even with such a butt plug 20, the sphere 22 rotates while abutting on the belly or chest of the angler. And the loosening of the screwing of the buttocks 20 to the original rod 1 is unduly suppressed.
[Other embodiments]
In order to store a larger sphere in the main body, a tail plug 30 as shown in FIG. 5 can be used. The buttocks plug 30 further includes a bottom lid 34 which is detachably attached to the pole base side of the main body 31 and has a window formed near the center in the radial direction. With the bottom cover 34 removed, the spherical body 32 is housed inside the main body 31 from the base of the rod. The rubber lid 33 urges the sphere 32 from the tip side. A part of the sphere 32 is exposed from the window portion of the bottom lid 34 toward the base of the rod.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
The buttocks according to the present invention are less likely to loosen even when the angler performs a fishing operation while pressing it against the belly, the chest, etc., and can smoothly perform the fishing operation without inhibiting the movement of the fishing rod.
