Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing line guide and a fishing rod provided with the fishing line guide.

  Conventional fishing rods are provided with a plurality of fishing line guides on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body in order to guide the fishing line fed from the reel or wound around the reel along the rod body. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-136844 (Patent Document 1) discloses an example of such a fishing line guide. The fishing line guide disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a frame formed by pressing a metal plate, and a guide ring fitted in a mounting hole of the frame.

  As described in paragraph [0003] of Patent Document 1, the fishing line guide has a problem that the fishing line is easily entangled. In order to cope with this problem, there is known a fishing line guide in which a guide ring holding portion of a frame is largely inclined forward of a housing (for example, see FIG. 10 of Patent Document 1).

JP-A-10-136844

  However, if the guide ring holding part of the frame is tilted forward of the housing, the vertical diameter of the guide ring decreases, so that the friction between the fishing line and the inner peripheral surface of the guide ring when the fishing line is fed out or wound up There is a problem that the size of the fishing line becomes large and obstructs the feeding and winding of the fishing line. Increasing the diameter of the guide ring can reduce the friction generated between the fishing line and the inner peripheral surface of the guide ring, but causes another problem that the size of the guide ring holding portion is increased in size and weight.

  One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a fishing line guide capable of increasing the diameter of the guide ring in the vertical direction as compared with the conventional one without increasing the size of the guide ring holding portion. Other objects of the present invention will become apparent by referring to the entire specification.

  A fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rod-shaped rod body and a fishing line guide that is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rod body and guides a fishing line fed from a reel.

  In one embodiment, the fishing line guide is connected to the front end of the mounting foot portion attached to the rod-shaped rod body, and is formed in a plate shape extending forward with a first acute angle with the axial direction of the rod body. A ring holding portion, and an annular guide ring fitted in a through hole formed in the ring holding portion. In one aspect of the present invention, the guide ring is disposed such that a surface perpendicular to the axial direction forms a second acute angle larger than the first acute angle with the axial direction of the housing.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, a fishing line guide is provided that can increase the vertical diameter of the guide ring compared to the conventional one without increasing the size of the guide ring holding portion.

  Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. In addition, the same referential mark is attached | subjected to the component which is common in each drawing. It should be noted that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for convenience of explanation.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration of a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a rod body 1 of a fishing rod R according to an embodiment of the present invention includes two rod members, namely, a rod rod 1-1 and a tip rod 1 attached to the tip of the rod rod 1-1. -2. The housing 1 may include any number of three or more scissors members. For example, by attaching a middle rod between the former rod 1-1 and the tip rod 1-2, the rod body 1 composed of three rod members is obtained. The reel 2 is detachably mounted on the main fence 1-1 via the reel sheet 3. Moreover, the grip 4 is attached to the base end side of the main shaft 1-1.

  Typically, these cocoons 1-1 and tip buds 1-2 are made from a fiber-reinforced prepreg sheet in which a reinforced fiber is impregnated with a synthetic resin. Specifically, after winding a fiber reinforced prepreg sheet around a cored bar, steps such as curing and decentering are performed, thereby obtaining a cocoon 1-1 and a tip heel 1-2. The materials and the manufacturing method of the potato 1-1 and the spike pod 1-2 are not limited to those described in the present specification, and can be manufactured using various other known materials and known manufacturing methods. Each cage may have a hollow structure or a solid structure.

  At least one fishing line guide is attached to the housing 1. 1 is provided with sixteen fishing line guides 6-1 to 6-16. The fishing line 5 fed out from the reel 2 is guided to the tip of the housing 1 by the fishing line guide 6-1 to the fishing line guide 6-16 shown in FIG. The fishing line guide 6-1 is sometimes referred to as a “former guide” because it is located closest to the hand of the angler. Further, the fishing line guide 6-16 is sometimes called the “top guide” because it is on the most distal end side of the housing 1. The fishing line guide 6-1 to the fishing line guide 6-7 is a so-called double foot type fishing line guide that is attached to the housing 1 with a foot portion extending forward and backward, while the fishing line guide 6-8 to the fishing line guide 6-15 is This is a so-called single foot type fishing line guide that is attached to the chassis with a single foot that extends rearward of the chassis 1. As will be described later, the fishing line guide according to the present invention is of a single foot type. In the present specification, the fishing line guide 6-1 to the fishing line guide 6-16 may be collectively referred to as a fishing line guide 6.

  In FIG. 1, a reel 2 is a bait casting reel. As illustrated, the bait casting reel is generally attached to the upper side of the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1. When the reel 2 is attached to the upper side of the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1, the fishing line guides 6-1 to 6-16 for guiding the fishing line are also attached to the upper outer peripheral surface of the housing 1. As the reel 2, various kinds of reels other than the bait casting reel, for example, various kinds of spinning reels can be used. Since the spinning reel is generally attached to the lower side of the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1, the fishing line guide 6 is also attached to the lower outer peripheral surface of the housing 1 in this case. In this specification, the grip 4 side of the housing 1 is referred to as “rear”, and the tip side of the housing 1 is referred to as “front”. Further, the front side in FIG. 1 is referred to as “right” and the back side is referred to as “left”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2 thru | or FIG. 4, the fishing line guide which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is further demonstrated. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the single foot type fishing line guide 6-8 of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the fishing line guide 6-8, and FIG. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view along A line. As illustrated, a fishing line guide 6-8 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an attachment foot 11 attached to the housing 1, a plate-like ring holding portion 12 connected to the front end of the attachment foot 11, and And a guide ring 13 fitted in a through hole 12a formed in the ring holding portion 12.

  As best shown in FIG. 3, the attachment foot portion 11 is an elongated plate-like or tongue-like member that extends along the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1 when attached to the housing 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the attachment foot portion 11 is wound around the housing 1 by a winding thread 21 formed from nylon fiber or the like. The wound yarn 21 is impregnated with an epoxy resin, whereby an epoxy resin layer 22 is formed on the surface of the wound yarn 21. With this epoxy resin layer 22, the mounting foot 11 is fixed in close contact with the housing 1. In the present specification, members for fixing the fishing line guide 6 to the housing 1 may be collectively referred to as “guide fixing member” or “guide fixing member 20”. The structure including the winding yarn 21 and the epoxy resin layer 22 is an example of the guide fixing member 20.

  The ring holding portion 12 provided at the front end of the attachment foot portion 11 is inclined upward from the rear of the housing 1 toward the front. That is, the ring holding part 12 is attached to the housing 1 in a posture that falls forward of the housing 1. The ring holding portion 12 is a substantially flat plate-like member, but the connection portion with the attachment foot portion 11 is gently curved as shown in FIG. That is, the ring holding part 12 includes a substantially flat flat part in which the through hole 12 a is formed, and a gently curved curved part connected to the attachment foot part 11.

  The attachment foot portion 11 and the ring holding portion 12 can be integrally manufactured from a prepreg sheet. When producing the attachment foot portion 11 and the ring holding portion 12, first, a plurality of prepreg sheets are bonded together by press working and fired and cured to produce a prepreg molded product. Next, a frame having a shape corresponding to the mounting foot portion 11 and the ring holding portion 12 is cut out from the prepreg molded product. In this way, a frame in which the mounting foot portion 11 and the ring holding portion 12 are integrated is obtained. Details of the process for producing a fishing line guide from a prepreg sheet are described in the applicant's international application PCT / JP2012 / 079595. The fishing line guide 6-8 may be manufactured using any known method other than those described above. For example, the fishing line guide 6-8 can be formed by injection molding using a material such as metal or synthetic resin.

  An annular guide ring 13 is fitted into the through hole 12 a of the ring holding part 12. As best shown in FIG. 2, the guide ring 13 includes a ring outer peripheral surface 13 a that extends annularly in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 13, a ring inner peripheral surface 13 c that extends parallel to the ring outer peripheral surface 13 a, and this ring. It has ring side surface 13b which connects outer peripheral surface 13a and ring outer peripheral surface 13c. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the ring outer peripheral surface 13a and the ring outer peripheral surface 13c are also connected by the ring side surface 13b on the back side of the guide ring 13 in FIG. 2 (the front side when installed on the housing 1). Has been. The guide ring 13 is formed from various ceramics, metals, or resins, for example. In one embodiment, the guide ring 13 is formed in a substantially circular shape. The detailed shape of the guide ring 13 will be described later.

  In the plan view of FIG. 3, the outer periphery of the ring holding portion 12 is between the vertex T and a point P1 rotated about 120 ° clockwise from the vertex T around the center O1 of the guide ring, and the vertex T and this point. In the section between points P2 rotated about 120 ° counterclockwise from the apex T, it is formed in a perfect circle shape concentric with the guide ring. The lower part of the ring holding part 12 is formed so as to gradually become narrower from the point P1 and the point P2 toward the attachment foot part 11.

  Next, the arrangement of the guide ring 13 with respect to the ring holding portion 12 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic view seen from the right side of the fishing line guide 6-8. As described above, the plate-shaped ring holding portion 12 is inclined upward from the rear to the front of the housing 1. In the example of FIG. 5, the ring holding portion 12 extends forward at an acute angle α1 with respect to the axial direction of the housing 1. FIG. 5 shows a virtual surface S <b> 1 (which may be referred to as “ring holding portion installation surface” in this specification) that extends parallel to the surface of the ring holding portion 12. As is clear from this definition, the ring holding part 12 is arranged so that the surface of the flat part (the part excluding the curved part connected to the mounting foot part 11) is parallel to the virtual plane S1.

  The guide ring 13 is disposed such that a surface S2 perpendicular to the axial direction (sometimes referred to as a “guide ring installation surface” in this specification) forms an angle α2 with the axial direction of the housing 1. That is, the guide ring 13 is disposed so as to be inclined by the angle α2 from the axial direction of the housing 1. This angle α2 is determined to be slightly larger than the angle α1. In one embodiment, the difference (α2−α1) between the guide ring installation surface and the ring holding portion installation surface satisfies 0 ° <(α2−α1) ≦ 5 °. In one embodiment, α1 is approximately 45 °.

  As is clear from the above description, the ring holding portion 12 is inclined more forward than the guide ring 13 in front of the housing 1. In other words, the guide ring 13 is less inclined forward than the ring holding portion 12. In the conventional fishing line guide, the arrangement of the ring holding portion and the guide ring is determined so that the ring holding portion installation surface and the guide ring installation surface are parallel, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the ring holding The part installation surface and the guide ring installation surface are not parallel to each other, and the ring holding part installation surface is greatly inclined with respect to the axial direction of the housing 1.

  As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the guide ring installation surface is inclined in the vertical direction with respect to the ring holding unit installation surface, so that the vertical diameter of the guide ring is set to the ring holding unit installation surface and the guide ring installation. It can be ensured larger than the conventional fishing line guide arranged in parallel with the surface. Thereby, the friction which arises between a fishing line and the inner peripheral surface of a guide ring at the time of feeding and winding of a fishing line can be reduced. Further, by making the guide ring 13 substantially circular, it is possible to prevent an increase in the size of the ring holding portion 12 that holds the guide ring 13.

  Next, the shape of the guide ring 13 will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a cross section (a cross section in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the guide ring 13) of a boundary region (generally corresponding to the region A of FIG. 4) between the lower end of the guide ring 13 and the ring holding portion 12. It is an expanded sectional view.

  As described above, the guide ring 13 includes the ring outer peripheral surface 13a, the inner peripheral surface 13c, and the ring side surface 13b that connects the ring outer peripheral surface 13a and the ring outer peripheral surface 13c. As shown in FIG. 6, in one embodiment, the ring outer peripheral surface 13a is formed flat so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 12a. On the other hand, the ring inner peripheral surface 13 c is formed in a gently curved shape so that a sharp edge does not hit the fishing line passing through the guide ring 13. The outer peripheral surface 13a and the inner peripheral surface 13c are connected by a ring side surface 13b having a substantially partial arc shape with a radius r. The guide ring 13 has a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape over the entire circumference.

  As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the guide ring 13 is disposed to be inclined with respect to the ring holding portion 12, the lower end of the guide ring 13 protrudes from the tip side surface of the ring holding portion 12 (FIG. 4). The upper end may protrude from the buttock side surface of the ring holding portion 12 (see region B in FIG. 4). In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the vicinity of the lower end of the guide ring 13 protrudes by an amount corresponding to the length L in the normal direction of the surface 12 b from the front surface 12 b of the ring holding portion 12. Yes. The ring side surface 13b of the guide ring 13 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed in a partial arc shape having a radius r. In one embodiment, the ring side surface 13b is formed such that the radius r thereof is larger than the protruding length L of the guide ring 13 (that is, the relationship r> L is satisfied).

  Thus, by making the radius r of the ring side surface 13b larger than the protruding length L of the guide ring 13, the outer peripheral surface 13a and the inner peripheral surface 13c of the guide ring 13 can be connected by a gentle curved surface. Therefore, it is possible to make the fishing line 5 difficult to catch on the step between the ring holding portion 12 and the lower end of the guide ring 13 (the protruding portion where the guide ring 13 protrudes from the ring holding portion 12).

  Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower end of the guide ring 13 (the rearmost part thereof) does not protrude from the buttock side surface of the ring holding part 12. The guide ring 13 is disposed with respect to the ring holding part 12. With this arrangement, the fishing line 5 can be less likely to be caught by the guide ring 13 on the heel side surface of the ring holding portion 12. When the lower end of the guide ring 13 protrudes from the buttock-side surface of the ring holding portion 12, the guide ring is restored when the fishing line 5 returns to the normal trajectory in the guide ring 13 from the state where the fishing line 5 hangs down below the guide ring 13. It will become easy to get caught in the part which protrudes 13 lower end. By preventing the lower end of the guide ring 13 from protruding from the buttock side surface of the ring holding portion 12, when the fishing line 5 returns to the normal trajectory in the guide ring 13 from the state where it is hung below the guide ring 13. In addition, the fishing line 5 can be prevented from being caught by the guide ring 13.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide ring 13 has its lower end (the rearmost part thereof) protruding from the buttock side surface of the ring holding portion 12. The ring 13 is disposed with respect to the ring holding part 12. With this arrangement, the fishing line 5 can be less likely to be caught by the guide ring 13 on the heel side surface of the ring holding portion 12. When the upper end (the rearmost part thereof) of the guide ring 13 is positioned on the front side of the buttock-side surface of the ring holding part 12, the fishing line passing through the guide ring 5 has an acute edge part with an inner diameter of the guide ring 12 (see FIG. 4), the fishing line 5 may be damaged. By arranging the guide ring 13 with respect to the ring holding part 12 so that the lower end (the rearmost part thereof) of the guide ring 13 protrudes from the buttock-side surface of the ring holding part 12, the fishing line 5 is attached to the ring holding part. Contact with the inner diameter of 12 can be prevented.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 shows a plan view of a fishing rod guide according to another embodiment of the present invention. The fishing line guide 26 shown in FIG. 7 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the fishing rod R shown in FIG. The fishing line guide 26 differs from the fishing line guide 6 in the shape of the portion that supports the guide ring and the guide ring of the ring holding part, but is otherwise configured in the same manner as the fishing line guide 6, and therefore other than the guide ring and ring holding part The detailed description is omitted.

  The ring holding portion 32 shown in FIG. 7 has a substantially elliptical through hole 32a. In the plan view shown in FIG. 7, the through hole 32 a has a long diameter in the front-rear direction of the housing 1 and a short diameter in the left-right direction. Similarly, a guide ring 33 formed in an approximately elliptical shape is fitted in the through hole 32a. Similar to the relationship between the ring holding part 12 and the guide ring 13 described above, the inclination angle of the guide ring 33 with respect to the axial direction of the casing 1 is larger than the inclination angle of the ring holding part 32 with respect to the axial direction of the casing 1. ing.

  In the fishing line guide 26 according to the present embodiment, since the guide ring 33 is formed in an elliptical shape having a major axis in the front-rear direction of the housing 1 in plan view, the guide ring 33 is located above and below the perfect circular guide ring. The caliber in the direction can be increased. Thereby, the friction between a fishing line and a guide ring can be reduced further. The fishing line guide 26 according to the present embodiment has a conventional elliptical shape in which the guide ring and the ring holding portion are arranged in parallel even when the vertical diameter of the guide ring 33 is ensured to be larger than a predetermined value. The fishing line guide having a guide ring (for example, the fishing line guide 1 disclosed in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1) does not increase the size of the ring holding portion as compared with the case where the same aperture is ensured.

  The configuration of the fishing line guide included in the scope of the present invention has been described above by taking the fishing line guide 6-8 and the fishing line guide 26 as an example, but the other single foot type fishing line guides 6-9 to 6-15 are also used as the fishing line guide. It can be configured similarly to 6-8. However, the dimensions may be the same or different. Further, the double foot type fishing line guides 6-1 to 6-7 may be replaced with a single foot type fishing line guide configured similarly to the fishing line guide 6-8. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, among the fishing line guides 6-1 to 6-16, the front fishing line guide has the same or smaller width and the same height as the rear fishing line guide. Or configured to be low. For example, the fishing line guide 6-2 is configured to be smaller in width and lower in height than the fishing line guide 6-1 on the rear side thereof, and the fishing line guide in the vicinity of the top guide 6-16 (for example, the fishing line guide 6). −10 to 6-16) are formed to have the same width and height.

  The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described in this specification are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component may be included in the scope of the present invention. Can be modified to have different dimensions, materials, and arrangements. In addition, components that are not explicitly described in the present specification can be added to the described embodiments, or some of the components described in the embodiments can be omitted.
