Description

  The present invention relates to a tip marker assembly attached to a tip of a fishing rod.

  There are various genres of fishing using a fishing rod. For example, in the case of riverfish fishing from a ship or submerged fishing with a rod, a fisherman may catch a so-called fish attack by changing the tip. In order for a fish's atari to be caught at the tip, the sensitivity of the tip must be high. The “sensitivity” in this case is the degree to which the vibration due to the above-mentioned attack appears as a change in the tip as a straight line. Various improvements have been made to the structure of fishing rods, particularly the tip of the tip (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2005-52093 A

  By the way, even if the sensitivity of the tip is improved, if the angler cannot surely recognize the subtle changes in the tip, it will not be possible to catch the atari of the fish. In order to improve the visibility of the tip, it is conceivable to attach a marker containing a fluorescent agent to the tip. However, the tip of a fishing rod requiring high sensitivity is vulnerable to external forces. Therefore, the tip may be damaged when the marker is attached or detached.

  This invention is made in view of said situation, The objective is to provide the tip marker assembly which can attach a marker to a fishing rod safely and reliably.

  (1) A tip marker assembly according to the present invention includes a marker attached to the tip of a fishing rod and an attachment jig for attaching the marker to the tip. And the said marker is comprised by the cylindrical shape which has flexibility with resin containing a fluorescent agent, and is parted along the parting line extended in an axial direction in one place of the circumferential direction. The mounting jig has a plate shape having a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface, the guide plate extending in and out of the marker through the dividing line, and the marker and the guide plate can be attached and detached. And a coupling member coupled to.

  According to the tip marker assembly having the above-described configuration, the tip is separated from the marker while being guided by the surface of the guide plate by pulling the guide plate away from the marker while holding the tip mounted on the surface of the guide plate together with the marker. Enter the marker. Thereby, a marker can be safely and reliably attached to the tip that is vulnerable to external force.

  (2) Preferably, the length of the marker in the axial direction is 6 mm or more.

  According to the said structure, the angler with the said fishing rod can be made to visually recognize the light which injects into the outer peripheral surface of the marker attached to the tip of the fishing rod, and is emitted from an end surface.

  (3) Preferably, the coupling member is a seal attached across the outer peripheral surface of the marker and the back surface of the guide plate.

  According to the above configuration, the tip marker assembly can be easily assembled. Further, when the marker is attached to the tip by the above method, the seal can be easily peeled off from the marker.

  According to the present invention, since the tip that enters the marker through the dividing line is guided by the guide plate, it is possible to obtain a tip marker assembly that can attach the marker to the fishing rod safely and reliably.

In addition, this Embodiment is only one aspect | mode of the tip marker assembly which concerns on this invention, and it cannot be overemphasized that an embodiment may be changed in the range which does not change the summary of this invention.

[Overall configuration of fishing rod 10]

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fishing rod 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a fishing rod 10 in a state where a fish is hit. As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing rod 10 includes a plurality of nodes 12, 13, and 14 and a plurality of guide members 15. The fishing rod 10 is made of, for example, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or glass fiber reinforced plastic. The fishing rod 10 is a swing type used for boat fishing, for example. However, the fishing rod 10 may be used other than boat fishing, and may be a joint type instead of a swing-out type.

  The nodes 12 to 14 are elongated rod-like members that constitute the fishing rod 10. The nodes 12 to 14 are referred to as a first node 12 and a second node (not shown) in order from the front end side of the fishing rod 10, and the rearmost node is particularly referred to as an original node 14. The preceding paragraph that continues to the original clause 14 is particularly called the original upper clause 13. Each node 12-14 is formed in a cylindrical shape. Each node 12-14 can be manufactured by the well-known method of winding and baking the resin sheet (so-called carbon prepreg) impregnated with carbon fiber helically, for example.

  The guide member 15 is provided in each node 12-14. Each guide member 15 has an insertion hole (not shown) through which the fishing line 19 fed from the fishing reel 11 is inserted. Each guide member 15 is for guiding the fishing line 19 in the longitudinal direction along the outer peripheral surface of the fishing rod 10. That is, the fishing rod 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a so-called outer guide type fishing rod. Note that the fishing rod 10 may be a so-called inner guide type fishing rod in which a fishing line 19 is passed inside each node formed in a cylindrical shape.

  The tip of the fishing rod 10 (that is, the tip of the node 12) is referred to as the tip 41. The tip portion 41 is a portion that is visually recognized by the user of the fishing rod 10 when the user catches the atari of the fish by the change in the curvature of the fishing rod 10. The tip 41 is painted with a metal color, for example. Specifically, the tip portion 41 is painted with a so-called metallic color paint that can reproduce the surface of the painted member into a metal texture. In addition, a marker 20 described later is attached to the tip 41.

  The base end portion of the fishing rod 10 (that is, the base end portion of the base clause 14) is called a butt portion 44. The butt portion 44 is provided between a rear grip 45 provided in the vicinity of the proximal end of the base clause 14, a front grip 46 provided on the front end side of the rear grip 45, and the rear grip 45 and the front grip 46. And a reel sheet 47. The rear grip 45 and the front grip 46 are formed of a member having a high friction coefficient such as rubber. When the fishing rod 10 is used, at least one of the rear grip 45 and the front grip 46 is gripped by the user of the fishing rod 10.

  The reel sheet 47 is for holding the fishing reel 11 on the fishing rod 10. The reel seat 47 covers the base clause 14 and is slidable along the longitudinal direction of the base clause 14, a fixed hood 48 provided on the proximal end side of the fishing rod 10 with respect to the movable hood 49, and a movable seat And a lock portion (not shown) that locks the sliding of the hood 49. The movable hood 49 holds one side of the legs provided on the fishing reel 11. The fixed hood 48 holds the other side of the legs provided on the fishing reel 11. In a state where both the movable hood 49 and the fixed hood 48 hold the leg of the fishing reel 11, the movable hood 49 is made non-slidable by the lock portion. In cooperation, the fishing reel 11 is positioned and fixed to the reel seat 47.

[Marker 20]

  The marker 20 is externally fitted to the tip portion 41. As shown in FIG. 2, the marker 20 has a cylindrical outer shape. The inner diameter of the marker 20 is set to be the same as the diameter of the tip 41 or slightly larger than the diameter of the tip 41. Moreover, the length of the marker 20 in the axial direction is set to, for example, about 6 mm to 15 mm, more preferably about 8 mm to 10 mm. The marker 20 can be obtained, for example, by cutting a sufficiently long marker material to a desired length.

  The marker 20 is made of, for example, a resin containing a fluorescent agent such as a fluorescent paint. Thereby, the light incident on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface is emitted from the end surfaces 22 and 23. Therefore, a fisherman with the fishing rod 10 shown in FIG. 1 can visually recognize the position and movement of the tip 41 by the light emitted from the end face 23. As the resin constituting the marker 20, for example, polyvinyl chloride or the like can be adopted. Thereby, the marker 20 has the flexibility which does not inhibit the movement of the tip part 41.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the cylindrical marker 20 is divided along a dividing line 21 extending in the axial direction at one place in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 2A, the dividing line 21 refers to a line that appears on the surface of the marker 20 by bringing a pair of end faces 24 and 25 facing each other in the circumferential direction into contact with each other. The dividing line 21 is formed in the whole area of the marker 20 in the axial direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, the marker 20 is configured such that a pair of end surfaces 24 and 25 positioned on both sides of the dividing line 21 are separated by applying an external force. The dividing line 21 may be formed afterwards by dividing the marker 20 continuous in the circumferential direction (that is, the dividing line 21 is not formed) with a knife or the like.

[Point marker assembly 40]

  The marker 20 before being attached to the tip 41 is provided as a tip marker assembly 40 attached to the attachment jig 30 as shown in FIG. That is, the tip marker assembly 40 according to the present embodiment includes the marker 20 and the attachment jig 30. Further, the mounting jig 30 includes a guide plate 31 and a seal 35 (an example of the coupling member of the present invention).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the guide plate 31 has a plate-like outer shape having a front surface 32 and a back surface 33. The guide plate 31 in the tip marker assembly 40 extends inside and outside the marker 20 through the parting line 21 (in other words, between a pair of end surfaces 24 and 25 spaced apart in the circumferential direction). That is, the left end of the guide plate 31 shown in FIG. 3 is located inside the cylindrical marker 20, and the right end (projecting end 34) protrudes outside the marker 20. The length of the guide plate 31 protruding from the marker 20 (the protruding length of the guide plate 31) is preferably longer than the diameter of the tip portion 41. Further, the length in the front-rear direction of the guide plate 31 shown in FIG. 3 is substantially the same as the length in the axial direction of the marker 20, but is not limited to this, and is longer than the length in the axial direction of the marker 20. It may be short or short. Although the material which comprises the guide plate 31 is not specifically limited, For example, paper may be sufficient and a resin film etc. may be sufficient.

  The seal 35 is stuck across the outer peripheral surface of the marker 20 and the back surface 33 of the guide plate 31. In addition, the seal | sticker 35 is stuck by the sticking force of the grade which peels from the outer peripheral surface of the marker 20 easily by applying external force. That is, the seal 35 detachably couples the marker 20 and the guide plate 31. However, the coupling member of the present invention is not limited to the form of the seal 35 shown in FIG. For example, an adhesive that easily peels off by an external force may be applied across the outer peripheral surface of the marker 20 and the back surface 33 of the guide plate 31.

[How to use the tip marker assembly 40]

  With reference to FIG. 4, a procedure for attaching the marker 20 to the tip portion 41 using the tip marker assembly 40 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the following description, an example of the movement of the fisherman's hand that handles the tip marker assembly 40 is shown, but it goes without saying that the specific method of handling is not limited to this.

  First, the angler draws the tip 41 of the fishing rod 10 placed on the surface 32 of the guide plate 31 toward the marker 20 with the thumb of the left hand that holds the marker 20. Thereby, the tip part 41 is contact | abutted to the outer peripheral surface of the marker 20 in the vicinity of the parting line 21, as FIG. 4 (A) shows. Further, the guide plate 31 extends from the tip portion 41 to a position away from the marker 20. That is, the protruding end 34 of the guide plate 31 protrudes from the tip portion 41 to a position away from the marker 20.

  Next, the angler picks the protruding end 34 side of the guide plate 31 with the right hand and pulls the guide plate 31 in a direction (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4B) to separate it from the marker 20. At this time, in order to prevent the seal 35 from peeling from the back surface 33 of the guide plate 31, it is desirable to grip the guide plate 31 and the seal 35 together. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4B, the pair of end faces 24 and 25 constituting the dividing line 21 are separated.

  When the distance between the pair of end faces 24 and 25 exceeds the diameter of the tip 41 by further pulling the guide plate 31 in the direction of the arrow, as shown in FIG. The tip 41 enters. Further, the seal 35 is peeled off from the outer peripheral surface of the marker 20, and the guide plate 31 is removed from the marker 20. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the marker 20 is attached to the tip portion 41 of the fishing rod 10.

[Operational effects of this embodiment]

  The marker 20 according to the present embodiment includes a fluorescent agent and ensures a predetermined length so that the end faces 22 and 23 of the marker emit light by light incident on the outer peripheral surface. The visibility of 41 can be improved. Moreover, by providing flexibility to the marker 20, it is possible to suppress a decrease in sensitivity of the tip portion 41 to which the marker 20 is attached.

  Further, according to the tip marker assembly 40 of the present embodiment, the guide plate 31 is separated from the marker 20 while the tip portion 41 placed on the surface 32 of the guide plate 31 is held together with the marker 20. The tip portion 41 guided to the surface 32 of the pierced surface can be made to enter the marker 20 through the parting line 21 (in other words, between a pair of end surfaces 24 and 25 spaced apart in the circumferential direction). Thereby, the marker 20 can be safely and reliably attached to the tip 41 that is vulnerable to external force.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the seal 35 is used as a coupling member that couples the marker 20 and the guide plate 31, the tip marker assembly 40 can be easily assembled, and the marker 35 can be sealed from the marker 20 at the time of attachment. Can be easily peeled off.
