Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems wherein the placing balance of a rod body and a seating part of a cover for protecting a rod tip is apt to be upset in a fastening and holding operation because a fastening belt is wound on the outer periphery of the rod body while being pulled to give the tensile force to the seating part, and the rod tip is damaged by the accidental slip when the force pushed by an index finger is strengthened to prevent the wobble described above because, when the force is strengthened, the finger tip slips not infrequently. <P>SOLUTION: The cover for protecting the rod tip is constituted as follows. The seating part 5 is formed, for example, into a V-shape in the cross section view in the vertical direction of the rod axis of the put rod body so that the contact positions with the rod body (s) may be present at two positions sandwitching the position pushed by the index finger (i), and the winding-starting side terminal of the fastening belt 21 may be positioned at the outside of one contacting position. The placing balance of the rod body (s) and the seating part 5 can be maintained by a proper pushing force by the index finger by utilizing the action of a lever by using the part between the pushing position and the winding-starting side terminal part which are the right side part of the V-shape as a wheel axis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  When attaching the tip protection cover of a conventional swinging rod with a guide to the fishing rod (first patent document 1 below), first hold the rod with one hand and hold the tip protection cover with the other hand. The cover body is put on the tip of the head, and the housing is placed on a non-slip mat placed on the pedestal part body of the pedestal part. Next, the index finger is moved to hold and hold the pedestal portion together from below, so that both hands are gripped. Next, while pulling the tightening belt made of rubber material with one free hand, it is wound around the outer periphery of the housing, and the tightening belt's fitting hole is fitted to the locking projection provided on the outside of the pedestal The housing is tightened and held with respect to the pedestal by fitting.

No. 1-31017

In this structure, the frictional force between the tightening belt and the casing is used well, and once tightened and held, the tip protection cover can be firmly fixed to the casing, i.e., without glare.
However, in the tightening holding operation, the tension belt is wound around the outer periphery of the casing while pulling, so that the tensile force is applied to the base, and the mounting balance between the base of the casing and the tip protection cover is likely to be lost. . Thus, once the mounting balance is lost and the pedestal portion becomes uneven, it is very difficult to wind and fit the tightening belt.
In particular, when the temperature drops, such as in winter, the tightening belt hardens, so the tightening belt must be pulled more strongly during the tightening and holding operation, and as a result, the tensile force applied to the pedestal is also greater. As a result, it becomes more and more easily glazed.

  Increasing the index finger's pushing force may prevent the above-mentioned glare, but increasing the force often causes the fingertip to slip, so this may cause the tip to break due to accidental sliding. Come out.

  Therefore, the present invention can solve the above-described problems, and can be easily and stably maintained with a proper gripping force so that the mounting balance between the casing and the pedestal portion can be easily and stably maintained. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod tip protection cover having a shape.

The pedestal portion 5 includes a pedestal portion main body 7. The pedestal portion main body 7 is integrally formed with the cover main body 3 and a rigid material such as hard plastic. The pedestal portion main body 7 has a shape in which a rectangular flat plate is bent into a V shape, and one side of the V-shaped cross section is continuous with the bottom end portion of the cover main body 3. A locking projection 11 is integrally formed on the lower surface 9 of the base portion body 7.
A shallow concave portion for accommodating a rectangular plate-shaped non-slip mat 17 described later is formed on the upper surface 13 of the pedestal portion main body 7, and an insertion hole 15 is formed on a side surface of the concave portion.

A groove is formed at the center of the rectangular flat antislip mat 17. The non-slip mat 17 is laid so as to fill the above-described concave portion in a state of being bent into a V shape with the groove as a valley corresponding to the V shape of the upper surface 13 of the pedestal main body 7, and the exposed upper surface 19 is a contact side surface with the housing s. The upper surface 19 projects somewhat upward from the upper surface 13 of the base body 7.
Reference numeral 21 denotes a tightening belt, and the tightening belt 21 has a thin belt shape. The fastening belt 21 is formed with a fitting hole 23 that fits into the above-described locking projection 11.

The fastening belt 21 and the anti-slip mat 17 are integrally formed of a soft rubber, and the base end of the fastening belt 21 is connected to the lower surface of the anti-slip mat 17. As described above, the anti-slip mat 17 not only constitutes the pedestal portion 5 together with the pedestal portion main body 7, but also functions as a holding portion for the fastening belt 21.
When the tightening belt 21 is attached to the pedestal portion body 7, the tightening belt 21 is inserted through the insertion hole 15 from the distal end side, and the anti-slip mat 17 as a holding portion is fitted into the recessed portion and fixed. Has been. When slipping, stop firmly with an adhesive if necessary.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show the state in which the cover body 3 is put on the tip, and the case s is gripped together while being placed on the pedestal portion 5 with one hand, from the tip side and the buttock side, respectively. It is. The clamping belt 21 is only gripped but not pulled.
The V-shaped bottom top of the pedestal main body 7 is pressed from the lower side with the index finger (i), and the housing s is pressed from the upper side with the thumb (t). The casing s is pressed from the lower side with the other fingers as with the index finger (i).
The direction pressed by the finger (= vertical direction) is based on the drawing in FIGS. 2 and 3. If the arm is bent, the actual vertical relationship may be changed even if the gripping state is the same, but for convenience of explanation. In this specification, it is described that the pedestal 5 is pressed from the lower side with the index finger (i), and the housing s is pressed from the upper side with the thumb (t).

As shown in detail in the cross-sectional view in the vertical direction of the flange axis in FIG. 4 (1), the contact portions (O ₁ , O ₂ ) on the upper surface 19 of the anti-slip mat 17 of the base portion 5 to the casing s are There are two places sandwiching the pressing portion (A) of the index finger (i) at the bottom of the V shape of the pedestal main body 7. Further, the winding start side end portion (B) of the tightening belt 21 is located outside the contact portion (O ₂ ). Supplementally, the winding start side end portion (B) is a portion that becomes a rotation fulcrum of the tightening belt 21 during the winding operation, and in this case, the right end portion of the base portion body 7 is Applicable.
Since shown on the diagram cross section, abutting portions (O _1, O _2), the start end winding (B) is shown as each point, the pedestal portion 5 are those having a width, The contact portions (O ₁ , O ₂ ) and the winding start side end (B) actually exist in a straight line extending in a direction perpendicularly penetrating the paper surface.

The pressing force (F ₁ ) indicates the pressing force that is applied to the pedestal portion 5 and directly to the pedestal portion main body 7 when the index finger (i) is pressed. Although the pressing force of the other finger is also applied to the pedestal portion 5, only the pressing force (F ₁ ) of the index finger (i) is shown for convenience of explanation.
Reference numeral 25 denotes a right side portion from the V-shaped bottom top portion of the rigid base body 7. This portion 25 functions as a lever axle and generates this action. That is, the right contact portion (O ₂ ) of the pedestal portion 5 on the anti-slip mat 17 is a fulcrum portion, the winding start side end (B) of the pedestal portion main body 7 is a force point portion, and the pedestal portion main body 7 is also pressed. The part (A) serves as a point of action and generates a lever action.
In this embodiment, since the _two contact portions (O ₁ , O ₂ ) are provided, the contact portion (O ₂ ) serving as the fulcrum portion is difficult to shift. Therefore, the lever action can be utilized stably.

The cross-sectional view of FIG. 4B is a correspondence diagram of the conventional product 101 shown for convenience of comparison. A non-slip mat 105 is laid on the substantially flat base part 103. In this conventional product 101, the contact portion (O) of the anti-slip mat 105 to the housing s is one. In this illustrated state, the product is in the direction of action of the pressing force (F ₁ ) applied to the pressing part (A) of the index finger (i) at the bottom top of the abutting part (O) pedestal body 103, so Such a lever action cannot be provided.
In the state of FIG. 4, the head protection cover 1 (hereinafter referred to as “the product of the present invention” for convenience of comparison) and the conventional product 101 are both of the housing s and the pedestal portion (the pedestal portion body + slip prevention mat). Although the mounting balance is stably maintained, in the product 1 of the present invention, the pedestal portion 5 is supported at three points by the contact part (O ₁ , O ₂ ) and the pressing part (A), so that it is more stable. Maintained.

Hereinafter, even if the tightening belt 21 is pulled during the tightening and holding operation while comparing the product 1 of the present invention with the conventional product 101, the balance of the mounting of the housing s on the pedestal portion is consistently utilized by utilizing the action of the lever. Explain that it is easily and stably maintained.
The cross-sectional view in the vertical axis direction of FIG. 5 shows a state in which the fastening belt 21 is pulled upward immediately after the work starts.
In this state, as shown in FIG. 5 (1), the product 1 of the present invention is subjected to the tension force (F ₂ ) from the tightening belt 21 on the winding start side end B of the pedestal body 7. The pulling force (F ₂ ) can be received by appropriately increasing the pressing force F ₁ of the index finger (i) using the lever action. That is, adjustment is made in the direction of increasing the pressing force (F ₁ ) of the index finger (i) so as to satisfy F ₁ × L ₁ = F ₂ × L ₂ while considering the distances (L ₁ , L ₂ ). Thus, the placement balance is stably maintained as it is without changing from the state of FIG.
With the progress of the tightening operation, the tensioning direction of the tightening belt 21 is sequentially changed. As shown in the corresponding cross-sectional views of FIGS. 6 (1) and 7 (1), the product 1 of the present invention uses the action of the lever. Thus, the mounting balance between the casing s and the pedestal portion 5 is easily and stably maintained.

On the other hand, when a tensile force (F ₂ ) from the fastening belt 21 is applied to the conventional product 101 on the winding start side end B of the pedestal main body 103, the same pressing force as that of the product 1 of the present invention is applied. If the index finger (i) is pressed, the lever action cannot be used. Therefore, as shown in the corresponding cross-sectional view of FIG. 5 (2), the pedestal main body 103 is pulled up and easily displaced, I'll follow you.
Furthermore, since the pressing part (A) and the contact part (O) are separated by a distance L ₁ when displaced to this state, it seems that the action occurs similar to the product 1 of the present invention. The winding operation of the tightening belt 21 does not end, and the pulling direction also changes sequentially. Since the conventional product 101 does not have a contact part other than the contact part (O) which is a fulcrum part, the contact part (O) is easily displaced, and with the same pressing force as the product 1 of the present invention. If it is pressed with the index finger (i), if the pulling direction is counterclockwise, it is easily displaced in a direction in which the distance L ₁ that can be folded is reduced.
When the pressing force of the index finger (i) is increased to prevent such displacement, the fingertip becomes slippery, and the pedestal main body 103 is detached from the hand as shown in the corresponding sectional view of FIG. Problem occurs.

As can be easily understood from comparison with the conventional product 101, the product 1 of the present invention can be mounted on the housing s and the pedestal portion 5 consistently during the tightening and holding operation by simply pressing the index finger (i) with an appropriate force. The balance can be maintained stably.
The product 1 of the present invention is particularly optimal by having the rigid pedestal main body 7 mainly perform the function as the wheel rod and the non-slip mat 17 having a large frictional force to provide the anti-slip function. The effect is obtained.

The pedestal portions 31, 37, 43, and 49 of the tip protection cover according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the pedestal portion 31, the shape of the pedestal portion main body 33 in the vertical axis direction is an arc shape, and a non-slip pad 35 constituting a contact portion is provided separately from the tightening belt 21.
In the pedestal portion 37, the shape of the pedestal portion main body 39 in the vertical axis direction is slightly curved, and the anti-slip mat 41 including the anti-slip protrusions constituting the contact portion is integrated with the tightening belt 21. Is formed.
In the pedestal portion 43, the shape of the pedestal portion main body 45 in the vertical axis direction is V-shaped, and the anti-slip pad 47 constituting the contact portion is configured separately from the tightening belt 21.
In the pedestal portion 49, the shape of the pedestal portion main body 51 in the vertical axis direction is U-shaped, and the anti-slip pad 47 constituting the contact portion is configured separately from the tightening belt 21.
As shown in the above example, the pedestal body can be set in a V shape, a U shape, or other various shapes, and the anti-slip material is not necessarily formed integrally with the tightening belt.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and even if there is a design change within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.
For example, the shape of the upper surface, which is the housing contact side surface of the pedestal portion, may be any shape as long as it can form two contact portions across the pressing portion of the index finger, and the shape in the vertical axis direction is not necessarily V-shaped. It is not limited to a U-shape, and a conventional arc shape may be used as it is.
However, if the shape is V-shaped or U-shaped, the distance between the contact portion and the pressing portion can be easily created even if the diameter of the housing to be mounted varies slightly.
In addition, the rigid pedestal body functions as a wheel shaft of the lever, and the placement balance is adjusted by the pressing force of the index finger, so that the wheel shaft portion has a constant thickness or is changed from the contact portion to the pressing portion. It is preferable that the thickness is set to be thinner from the contact part to the winding start side end. Furthermore, since the pedestal main body is usually formed by resin molding, it is easy to manufacture it so that the thickness is constant.

  In addition, the anti-slip material is also required to have a rigidity and shape enough to raise and support the housing so that the pressing portion and the contact portion do not coincide with each other. Even if it is formed in a V shape or a U shape, it cannot be included in the scope of the present invention if it sinks by pressing with the thumb and abuts against the horizontal upper surface of the bottom.

  Since the tip protection cover for a fishing rod of the present invention can prevent glare only by applying an appropriate force even when the tightening belt is wound, it is easy to perform winding and subsequent fitting work, and it is much easier than conventional products. It is easy to use.
