In one embodiment, the second rod pipe includes: a thin and long blank; a decorated layer formed on an outer surface of the handle-side edge portion of the blank by an ink-jet printing so as to have a design of natural bamboo joints; and a coated layer formed on the decorated layer by a die-coating so as to have a design of a plurality of filamentous lines extending in a longitudinal direction of a fishing rod body.

Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing rod having an appearance similar to that of a natural bamboo rod, and a method for manufacturing a rod used for the fishing rod.

  Conventionally, a light brown coating layer close to the ground color of bamboo is formed on the surface of a blank made of artificial materials such as carbon, and a bamboo pattern is applied on this coating layer to resemble a natural bamboo basket. Fishing rods having a different appearance are known. The bamboo pattern mainly consists of a pattern imitating a bamboo knot and a linear pattern extending in the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod.

  There is a disclosure example of a technique for reproducing the appearance imitating a natural bamboo basket. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-61376 (Patent No. 4051161), a bulging portion is provided by overlay molding at a position corresponding to a node of the tubule, and the surface of the bulging portion is provided in the longitudinal direction of the tubule. The appearance of a natural bamboo shoot is reproduced by adding a linear pattern that stretches.

JP 2001-61376 A

  However, since the diameter of the bulging portion formed by overlaying is significantly larger than the diameter of the other portion of the rod tube, in a fishing rod (for example, a parallel-type fishing rod) in which a plurality of rod tubes are joined together The bulging portion cannot be provided at the joining portion where the tubules are joined together. Since natural bamboo has nodes at almost equal intervals along its length, it gives an unnatural impression if there are no bulges (ie, those expressing the knot pattern) at the joint. End up.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that is formed by joining a plurality of rods and has an appearance close to that of a natural bamboo rod. In one embodiment of the present invention, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod having an appearance close to that of a natural bamboo shoot by forming a knot pattern in a natural bamboo shoot at a joint portion between tub tubes. And Other objects of the present invention will be clarified throughout the specification.

  A fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first rod tube and a second rod tube, and a proximal side end portion of the second rod tube is located at a tip side end portion of the first rod tube. Seamed. In one embodiment, the second soot tube is an elongated blank, and a decorative layer formed on the outer surface of the proximal end portion of the blank so as to have a pattern imitating a bamboo knot by inkjet printing; And a coating layer formed on the upper surface of the decorative layer so as to have a plurality of linear patterns extending in the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod main body by squeeze coating.

  A method for manufacturing a fishing rod for a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of preparing an elongated blank, and a pattern imitating a bamboo knot by ink jet printing on the outer surface of the proximal end of the blank. A step of forming a decoration layer, and a step of forming a coating layer having a plurality of linear patterns extending in the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod main body on the upper surface of the decoration layer by squeeze coating.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing rod that is formed by connecting a plurality of rods and has an appearance close to that of a natural bamboo rod.

  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 diagram schematically showing a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a fishing rod R according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an elongated proximal side rod 10a and a tip side rod 10b joined to the end of the proximal side of the proximal rod 10a. FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic view showing a joint portion between the proximal side rod and the tip side rod of the fishing rod in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 (a) shows the proximal side rod 10a and the tip side rod. FIG. 2 (b) shows a state in which the proximal side tub tube 10a and the tip side tub tube 10b are joined together. A grip 12 is provided at the proximal side end of the proximal side tub tube 10a. In this specification, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the proximal side tubal tube 10a and the tip side tubal tube 10b, the proximal side tubal tube 10a and the tip side tubal tube 10b are collectively referred to as the tub tube 10.

  The surface of the tub tube 10 is provided with a bamboo pattern imitating a natural bamboo pattern. The bamboo pattern includes a pattern imitating a natural bamboo knot in the node portion 16 and a linear pattern in the internode portion 14 located between the node portions 16. A linear pattern may also be formed on the node 16. The position where the node 16 is provided corresponds to the position of a node in natural bamboo. As shown in FIG. 2, the pattern of the internode part 14 is composed of a plurality of linear patterns extending in the longitudinal direction of the soot tube 10. As will be described later, this linear pattern is not straight, but is slightly bent or interrupted in the middle, as in the case of natural bamboo internode patterns. In this way, the linear pattern is bent or interrupted in the middle, so that an appearance more similar to natural bamboo can be obtained.

  In one embodiment, a pattern imitating the appearance of a node in an actual bamboo basket is formed on the node 16 by inkjet printing. For example, the node part in an actual bamboo basket is brown or brown, the region near the node has a darker color (lower brightness) than the internode, and the region on the tip side than the node is more internode Has a bright (high brightness) color. In order to express the appearance of the node portion in the bamboo rod made of such a natural material, the node portion 16 of the fishing rod in one embodiment of the present invention has a low-lightness decorative layer 16a on the hand side as shown in FIG. In addition, a high brightness decorative layer 16b is provided on the tip side. The pattern of the joints in the bamboo bamboo, which is a natural material, looks different depending on the color of the paint, the painting method, and the amount of paint applied. Therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned pattern, an arbitrary pattern imitating the pattern on the node of the bamboo rod made of a natural material can be formed on the node of the fishing rod according to the present invention. For example, the node portion 16 of the fishing rod in one embodiment of the present invention may have a high brightness decoration layer 16a on the hand side and a low brightness decoration layer 16b on the tip side. The pattern of the node portion 16 can be given at an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the soot tube 10, but in order to express a natural appearance, it is desirable that the patterns are arranged so that their distances are substantially equal.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the proximal side tub tube 10a is formed in a hollow tubular shape, and the proximal side end portion 18b of the distal side tub tube 10b is fitted into the distal end side portion 18a of the proximal side tub tube 10a. As a result, the proximal side tube 10a and the tip side tube 10b are joined together. As described above, since the node portions 16 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the tip side tub tube 10b, the node portions 16 are also provided on the proximal side end portion 18b.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the structure of the fishing rod which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is further demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a view schematically showing a cross section of a portion where the node portion 16 is printed at the proximal end portion 18b of the tip side tub tube 10b. As shown in FIG. 3, the proximal end 18 b of the tip side rod 10 b of the fishing rod R according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a blank 22, a clear layer 24 formed on the blank 22, and a clear layer. The first coating layer 26 formed on the first coating layer 26, the many ink dots 20 formed on the first coating layer by inkjet printing, and the first coating layer 26 formed by squeeze coating. A second coating layer 28.

  The blank 22 is made of an artificial material, and is made of, for example, a fiber reinforced prepreg sheet in which a reinforced fiber is impregnated with a synthetic resin. Specifically, the blank 22 is obtained by winding a fiber-reinforced prepreg sheet around a cored bar and then performing steps such as curing and decentering. A fishing rod body using a fiber-reinforced prepreg sheet can be manufactured using various manufacturing methods known to those skilled in the art. In addition, the material of the blank 22 is not limited to that described in the present specification, and can be manufactured using various known materials other than those described in the present specification.

  In one embodiment, a clear layer 24 is provided on the outer surface of the blank 22. The clear layer 24 covers the blank 22 and can smooth the outer surface of the blank 22. The clear layer 24 can be formed by applying a clear paint (a paint obtained by removing a pigment) to the blank 22. As the clear paint, for example, a resin containing acrylate ester and hexamethylene diacrylate as a resin, diphenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphine oxide as an initiator, and further containing an additive may be used. it can. The material and forming method for forming the clear layer 24 are not limited to those explicitly described in the present specification, and may be formed using various other known materials and coating methods. The clear layer 24 is formed to have a thickness of about 6 μm to 25 μm, for example. The thickness of the clear layer 24 can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the step appearing on the surface of the blank 22 so that the step of the blank 22 can be filled and the surface thereof can be smoothed.

  In one embodiment, a first coating layer 26 is formed on the upper surface of the clear layer 24. The first coating layer 26 is formed by applying various resin-based paints such as an epoxy resin paint and a polyurethane resin paint on the surface of the clear layer 24. The first coating layer 26 is formed, for example, by spray coating or squeeze coating. The resin-based paint is preferably brown or brown similar to the natural color of bamboo. The kind of coating material forming the first coating layer 26 is not limited to those explicitly described in the present specification, and may be formed using various other known materials and known coating methods. In one embodiment, the clear layer 24 can be omitted. In this case, the coating layer 26 is applied directly on the soot tube 10. The first coating layer 26 is formed to have a thickness of about 6 μm to 20 μm, for example.

  A large number of ink dots 20 are formed by ink jet printing on the upper surface of the first coating layer 26 in the node portion 16, and a decorative layer having a natural bamboo knot pattern is formed by the large number of ink dots 20. Specifically, the ink dots 20 ejected from the nozzles by ink jet printing adhere to the surface of the first coating layer 26, and the ink dots 20 adhered to the surface of the first coating film 26 form a knot pattern. The As described above, the decorative layer composed of the ink dots 20 includes the low-lightness decorative layer 16a on the proximal side of the node 16 and the high-lightness decorative layer 16b on the tip side in one embodiment. As the ink for inkjet printing, any kind of ink can be used as long as it can adhere to the base (for example, the first coating layer 26) and can be cured thereafter. In one embodiment, it is desirable to use an ink containing a UV curable resin and a solvent. As shown in FIG. 3, the sizes of the ink dots 20 may be different from each other. In FIG. 3, the largest convex part is represented by reference numeral 20A, the smallest convex part is represented by reference numeral 20C, and a convex part having an intermediate size is represented by reference numeral 20B. The diameter of the ink dot 20 is desirably in the range of approximately 10 to 500 μm. A large number of ink dots 20 are discretely formed on the outer surface of the blank 22 as shown in the figure, but a part of these ink dots 20 may be connected.

  The second coating layer 28 is formed by applying a brown-colored paint on the upper surface of the first coating layer 26 on which a large number of ink dots 20 are formed using squeeze coating. As the paint for forming the second coating layer 28, various resin paints such as an epoxy resin paint and a polyurethane resin paint can be used. The coating material for the second coating layer 28 is preferably a coating material having the same color as the coating material of the first coating layer 26 and darker (low brightness) than that. The type of coating material that forms the second coating layer 28 is not limited to that explicitly described in this specification, and the second coating layer 28 is formed using various other known coating materials. obtain. For example, the second coating layer 28 is formed to have a thickness of about 5 μm to 15 μm.

  Specifically, the second coating layer 28 is made by adhering a paint to an inner peripheral surface of a ring-shaped rubber member, a cloth, a sponge, a palm or other squirrel member, and a part of the squeeze member to which the paint is adhered is blank 22. While contacting the outer surface (in the case where the clear layer 24 and the first coating layer 26 are provided, the outer surface of the layer located in the outermost layer among these layers; the same shall apply hereinafter), the blank 22 It is formed by moving in the longitudinal direction (or moving the squeeze member in the longitudinal direction of the blank 22). Since there is unevenness on the contact surface of the squeaker member with the blank 22, the paint adhering to the convex portion is applied to the outer surface of the blank 22, and the paint in the concave portion of the contact surface is not applied to the blank 22. On the outer surface of 22, a linear pattern extending in the longitudinal direction of the blank 22 is formed. Details of shigoki coating applicable to the present invention are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2001-061376 and 2002-010727. Shikoki painting applicable to the present invention includes so-called hand-wiping painting using a palm with paint applied thereto.

  When the squeeze member is moved in the longitudinal direction of the blank 22 while being in contact with the blank 22, the ink dots 20 formed on the surface of the blank 22 interfere with the squeeze member. Thereby, the contact part which is contacting the blank 22 among the squeak members cannot move straight along the longitudinal direction of the blank 22 at the position of the ink dot 20, for example, around the ink dot 20. Move to detour. As described above, it is desirable that the diameter of the ink dot 20 is approximately in the range of 10 to 500 μm. If the diameter of the ink dot 20 is smaller than 10 μm, it is difficult to change the course of the squeaker member. If the diameter of the ink dot 20 is larger than 500 μm, the ink dot 20 itself can be visually recognized, and the natural appearance of the bamboo basket cannot be realized. Because. As a result, the linear pattern formed by squeeze coating in the present invention is not a straight line, but looks bent around the ink dots 20 or appears broken. Even in natural bamboo, the linear pattern is often slightly bent or interrupted in the middle, and the linear pattern of such a natural bamboo shoot is more faithfully reproduced by the present invention.

  Although not shown in the drawings, a surface of the second coating layer 28 may be provided with a clear layer (surface clear layer) different from the clear layer 24 in order to smooth the outermost layer surface of the soot tube 10. . Further, a protective layer for protecting the soot tube 10 from scratches and corrosion may be provided on the upper surface of the surface clear layer or directly on the upper surface of the second coating layer 28. Further, a primer layer may be provided between the layers shown in FIG. 3 in order to increase the adhesion between the layers. A protective layer and a primer layer are produced | generated by a well-known formation method from a well-known material clear to those skilled in the art. Moreover, the cross section of the proximal side tub tube 10a can be configured similarly to the cross section of the tip side tub tube 10b described above.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a large number of ink dots 20 formed in a region within the virtual circle A of the proximal side end 18b and the second coating layer 28 formed by squeeze coating. As described above, since the second coating layer 28 is formed by squeeze coating, the coating layer 28 has a number of linear patterns including the illustrated linear patterns 28A to 28D. .

  As illustrated, the linear patterns 28 </ b> A to 28 </ b> D extend linearly along the longitudinal direction of the blank 22. The coating layer extends in a straight line along the longitudinal direction of the blank 22 if it is not interfered with the ink dots 20. For example, the pattern 28 </ b> C at a position where the ink dots 20 inside the region A do not exist extend in the longitudinal direction of the blank 22 in a straight line. On the other hand, the patterns 28 </ b> B and 28 </ b> C generally extend in the longitudinal direction of the blank 22, but extend so as to bypass the periphery of the ink dot 20 in the vicinity of the ink dot 20. In addition, the pattern 28A is temporarily interrupted when it reaches the area where the ink dots 20 are dense, and appears again in the area where the density of the ink dots is low on the upstream side in the sliding direction of the blank 22.

  As described above, in the fishing rod R according to the embodiment of the present invention, a pattern imitating a natural bamboo rod node is formed on the outer surface of the proximal end portion 18b of the tip side rod tube 10b using ink jet printing. Therefore, the increase in the diameter of the proximal end 18b due to the formation of the knot pattern is slight. Therefore, not only can the knot pattern be formed on the proximal side end 18b of the tip side side tubular tube 10b, but the proximal side end portion 18b can be fitted into the proximal side lateral tube 10a. In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 4, a linear pattern is formed so as to avoid the ink dots 20 formed by ink jet printing, so that the joint portion 16 is also close to the linear pattern of a natural bamboo shoot. A linear pattern can be expressed more naturally. As described above, in the fishing rod R according to the embodiment of the present invention, the rods can be accurately spliced together, and the pattern of the natural bamboo rod is also expressed at the joint portion between the rods. Can do.

  Next, a method for manufacturing a rod for fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, an elongate blank for the hand side tub tube 10a and an elongate blank for the tip side tub tube 10b are prepared. This blank is, for example, the blank 22 described above. Next, in order to smooth the surface of the blank, a clear paint is applied to the blank to form a clear layer. This clear layer is, for example, the above-described clear layer 24. Next, a first coating film layer is formed on the upper surface of the clear layer. The first coating layer is preferably a brown resin similar to natural bamboo ground color. The first coating layer is, for example, the first coating layer 26 described above.

  Next, a decorative layer having a pattern imitating a bamboo bamboo knot made of a natural material is formed on the surface of the first coating layer 26 by ink jet printing at a blank node. For example, as described above, the pattern simulating the knot of natural bamboo is formed by attaching a large number of ink dots 20 to the surface of the first coating layer 26 by ink dot printing. In one embodiment, the decorative layer has a low brightness decorative layer 16a and a high brightness decorative layer 16b.

  Next, a second coating layer is formed on the outer surface of the blank on which the pattern simulating the bamboo knots is formed as described above, by a squeeze coating method. The paint of the second coating layer is preferably a paint having the same color as the paint of the first coating layer and darker than that. This 2nd coating-film layer is the 2nd coating-film layer 28 mentioned above, for example, and is formed so that it may have a some linear pattern extended in the longitudinal direction of the soot tube 10. As shown in FIG. A clear layer or a protective layer may be provided on the surface of the second coating layer 28 thus formed. In this way, the hand side side tube 10a and the tip side side tube 10b are obtained. In addition, a fishing rod is obtained by fitting the proximal end of the tip side rod tube thus obtained into the tip side end portion of the proximal side rod tube.

  A rod tube according to an embodiment of the present invention and a fishing rod obtained by joining the rod tubes are manufactured as described above, but omitting a part of the above manufacturing process and adding a process other than the above. It is possible to change the order of the steps constituting the above-described manufacturing method, and the manufacturing method in which such omission, addition, or change in order is also within the scope of the present invention. Included in the range. In particular, even if the clear layer, the primer layer, and the protective layer are omitted, a fishing rod having an appearance similar to a bamboo rod made of a natural bamboo material can be obtained. Therefore, the step of forming each layer is optional for the present invention. It can be omitted.

  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.
