Description

  The present invention relates to a grip structure applied to a fishing rod for fishing.

  In fishing rods and the like, a grip portion is provided mainly for the purpose of preventing slipping when grasped by hand. The grip portion is composed of a grip base material made of rubber material (for example, urethane rubber material). In the fishing rod for fishing, the base portion (base end portion) of the fishing rod is provided with the base grip base material. Depending on the type of fishing rod, an intermediate grip base material is provided at the intermediate portion thereof. Such a grip base material has moderate elasticity, is easy to grip, and is difficult to slip.

  However, if you are fishing, you may grip the grip base with a hand that touches the fish or gets wet with water, and in this case, even rubber materials are slippery, and from fishing enthusiasts, Even in such a state, it has been desired to realize a grip structure that suppresses slippage.

  For this reason, a material in which a plurality of yarns having different diameters are knitted on the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this grip structure, a first yarn having a large diameter and flexibility is used, and a second yarn having a small diameter and rigidity is used. These first and second yarns are required. The yarn knitting layer is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material.

  In the grip structure in which the grip base material is covered with this yarn knitting layer, since two types of yarn having different diameters are used, there are uneven portions on the outer peripheral surface of the grip portion, and the uneven portions are difficult to slip. It has become.

  However, even a fishing rod having such a grip structure has problems to be solved as follows. First, in order to form a yarn knitting layer by knitting two types of yarn having different diameters on the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material, a yarn knitting device or the like is required for the production, and the production is complicated. At the same time, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost becomes high. Secondly, an uneven portion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material with the yarn knitting layer, but it is not easy to change the shape of the uneven portion of the yarn knitting layer, for example, to fit each fisher's hand. It is not easy to form the uneven portion. Third, a yarn knitting layer is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material. Even if such a yarn knitting layer is provided, it is difficult to sufficiently suppress slipping, and a grip that can more effectively suppress slipping. A structure proposal is desired. Such a problem also exists in grip structures applied to things other than fishing rods (for example, various rackets, bicycle handles, etc.).

  An object of the present invention is to provide a grip structure capable of easily adjusting the shape of the outer peripheral surface of a grip base material and sufficiently suppressing slippage even when gripped with a wet hand or the like.

A member is attached, and heat is applied to the grip rubber member to cause heat shrinkage, and the string-like member and the grip rubber member are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material.

  Furthermore, in the grip structure according to claim 4 of the present invention, the grip portion is an original grip portion of an original portion of a fishing rod and / or an intermediate grip portion of an intermediate portion thereof, and the grip base material is the original grip portion. It is the former grip base material which comprises a part, and / or the intermediate grip base material which comprises the said intermediate | middle grip part.

  According to the grip structure of the first aspect of the present invention, after the string-like member is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material, a grip rubber member formed of a heat-shrinkable rubber material is attached, and the grip rubber is provided. Since the member is heated and attached to the grip base material, the string-like member and the grip rubber member can be securely attached to the grip base. Further, in this attached state, a convex portion is formed on a part of the grip rubber member by the wound string-like member, and this convex portion effectively suppresses slipping when grasped by a wet hand or the like. In addition, the grip feeling when grasping can be improved. Furthermore, the grip portion can be provided with a convex portion for preventing slipping with a simple configuration of winding the cord-like member, and the size of the convex portion can be adjusted by the thickness of the cord-like member. In addition, the interval between the convex portions can be adjusted by the winding interval of the string-like member, and a grip portion suitable for each user can be easily manufactured.

  Moreover, according to the grip structure according to claim 2 of the present invention, since the string-like member is spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material, the convex portion provided in the grip portion also corresponds to this. It can be provided in a spiral shape that is easy to grip with a hand and difficult to slide.

  Further, according to the grip structure of the third aspect of the present invention, the string-like member is temporarily fixed helically to the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material by the tape member or the adhesive, and therefore when the grip rubber member is mounted. In addition, the wound string-like member is not displaced, and a convex portion having a desired shape can be provided in the grip portion.

  Furthermore, according to the grip structure according to claim 4 of the present invention, the grip portion is the original grip portion (and / or the intermediate grip portion of the intermediate portion) of the base portion of the fishing rod, Since it is the former grip base material (and / or the intermediate grip base material which comprises the intermediate grip part) which comprises a former grip part, the grip structure suitable for fishing rods for fishing can be provided.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a grip structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings by applying it to a fishing rod for fishing. 1 and 2, the fishing rod of the illustrated embodiment includes a rod-shaped rod main body 2, and a grip portion 4 (that is, a former grip portion) is provided at the base portion (so-called base portion) of the rod main body 2. ing. In the illustrated embodiment, the heel body 2 is composed of a single rod-shaped member, but is not limited to such a configuration, and a plurality of portions may be mounted so as to be stretchable or a plurality of (for example, 2) (-3) may be detachably connected to each other.

  A core end portion 6 that protrudes in the axial direction toward the base portion side (rightward in FIG. 2) is provided at the base portion of the heel body 2, and the grip base material that constitutes the grip portion 4 is provided on the core end portion 6. 8 (ie, the original grip base) is attached (see FIG. 3). Referring also to FIG. 3, the illustrated grip base 8 is formed of a hollow cylindrical member. Such a grip base 8 is, for example, a synthetic resin material, a rubber material (for example, a urethane rubber material), a cork material, or the like. Formed from.

  A string-like member 10 is spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the grip base 8. The string-like member 10 is formed from an elongated string, a wire, or the like. As the string, for example, synthetic fiber (for example, polyamide-based synthetic fiber, polyester-based synthetic fiber, etc.), twisted cotton yarn, or a synthetic resin wire can be used. As will be understood from the following description, the string-like member 10 is for providing the convex portion 12 on the grip portion 4, and its diameter affects the size of the convex portion 12, and its winding interval. Affects the spacing of the convex portions 12, and considering the ease of gripping, suppression of slipping, etc., the diameter (outer diameter) is preferably about 25 to 35 mm, and the winding interval is 20 to 30 mm. Is preferred.

  The string-like member 10 can be, for example, a kite string, and is temporarily fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the grip base 8 by the tape member 14. As the tape member 10, a paper tape, a cellophane tape, or the like can be used. The string member 10 may be temporarily fixed using an adhesive instead of the tape member 14.

  The grip base member 8, the string-like member 10, and the tape member 14 are covered with a grip rubber member 16. The grip rubber member 14 is in the form of a thin sleeve and has an inner diameter that is somewhat larger than the outer diameter of the grip base 8. The grip rubber member 14 is made of a rubber material having heat shrinkability, such as a urethane rubber material. As the grip rubber member 14, it is preferable to use a member that is somewhat longer than the length of the grip base member 8 in the axial direction (left-right direction in FIG. 3). By using such a member, as shown in FIG. In addition, both ends of the grip base material 8 cover both end faces of the grip base 8 when heat shrinking as will be described later. Since it is constituted in this way, the grip base material 8, the string-like member 10, the grip rubber member 16 and the like constitute the grip structure 17.

  In this embodiment, a ring-shaped fixing member 18 is attached to the outside of the grip base 8 in the axial direction. The fixing member 18 is attached to the outside after the grip base material 8 is attached to the core end 6 and is fixed to the core end 6 with an adhesive, for example. By attaching the fixing member 18 in this way, the grip base 8 is fixedly attached to the core end 6. The grip base 8 may be fixed using an adhesive or the like, and in this case, the fixing member 18 can be omitted.

  An end plug member 20 is mounted on the outer side of the fixing member 18 in the axial direction. One end portion of the bottom plug member 20 is slightly bulged radially outward and rounded, and a cylindrical recess (not shown) extending in the axial direction to one end side is provided on the other end surface. The bottom plug member 20 is attached to the core end 6 by inserting the tip of the core end 6 into the cylindrical recess.

  In the fishing rod 2 for fishing, as described above, the grip structure 17 (that is, the grip base member 8 on which the string-like member 10 and the grip rubber member 16 are attached), the fixing member 18, and the core end 6 of the rod body 2. The bottom plug member 20 is mounted on the axially outer side in this order (see FIG. 2), and by mounting in this manner, a fishing rod as shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured.

  Next, the manufacture of the grip structure 17 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. In order to manufacture the grip structure 17, as shown in FIG. 4A, the tape member 14 is wound from the outside (that is, the upper side) while the string-like member 10 is spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the grip base 8. In this way, the string-like member 10 is temporarily fixed to the grip base 8 (winding / temporary fixing step of the string-like member 10). The string-like member 10 can be wound, for example, so as to wind clockwise from the base portion of the heel body 2 toward the tip portion, and the wound member is suitable as a grip structure 17 for a right-handed user. In addition, it may be wound so as to wind in the counterclockwise direction from the base part to the tip part of the heel body 2, and the wound structure is suitable as a grip structure 17 for a left-handed user. It will be a thing.

  After temporarily fixing the string-like member 10 to the grip base material 8 as described above, as shown in FIG. 4B, the grip rubber member 16 is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow 22, for example, The string-like member 10 and the tape member 14 are covered (mounting process of the grip rubber member 16). When covered in this way, as shown in FIG. 4C, the length of the grip rubber member 16 in the axial direction is longer than the length of the grip base member 8 in the axial direction. The grip base 8 protrudes somewhat from both ends to both sides.

  Then, in the state covered with the grip rubber member 16, as shown in FIG. 4C, for example, hot air from the dryer 24 is blown onto the outer peripheral surface of the grip rubber member 16 as indicated by an arrow 26. When hot air is blown in this manner, as shown in FIG. 3, the grip rubber member 16 is thermally contracted by heat from the hot air and is fixed in close contact with the grip base material 8, and thus the close contact is formed. The member 10 and the tape member 14 are also closely attached and fixed to the grip base 8, and the string-like member 10 and the grip rubber member 14 are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the grip base 8 in this way as required.

  In the manufactured grip structure 17, as shown in FIG. 3, the grip portion 4 (specifically, the grip rubber member 16) corresponds to the string-like member 10 wound around the grip base 8. A convex portion 12 is formed in the portion, and this convex portion 12 can effectively suppress slipping when grasped by a wet hand or the like. Moreover, the convex part 12 for slip prevention can be provided in the grip part 4 with the simple structure of winding the string-like member 16. Further, as can be understood from the manufacturing method described above, the size of the convex portion 12 can be adjusted by the thickness of the string-like member 10, and the interval between the convex portions 12 can be adjusted by the thickness of the string-like member 10. It can be adjusted by the winding interval, and the grip structure 17 suitable for each user can be easily manufactured.

  Next, a modification of the grip structure will be described with reference to FIG. In the grip structure of this modified form, the convex part provided in the grip part is composed of two types of forms. 5, in the grip structure 17A, the first region P on the distal end side (left end side in FIG. 5) is provided with a convex portion 32 of the first form, and on the base side (right end in FIG. 5). A convex portion 34 of the second form is provided in the second region Q on the side where the above-described fixing member 18 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is attached.

  In the first region P, the first string-like member 10A is wound around the grip base 8 in a ring shape, and in the second region Q, the second string-like member 10B is applied to the grip base 8 in the same manner as described above. The first and second string-like members 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B are affixed by the tape member 14. And the grip rubber member 16 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the grip base material 8 so that these grip base materials 8 and 1st and 2nd string-like members 10A and 10B may be covered, The attachment is the same as that mentioned above. This is done by heat shrinkage.

  Since it is configured in this manner, the convex portion 32 of the first form is provided in a ring shape in the first region P corresponding to the first string-like member 10A wound in a ring shape. Corresponding to the second string-like member 10B wound around the second region Q, a convex portion 34 of the second form is provided in a spiral shape. The other configuration of this modified embodiment is substantially the same as the grip structure in the above-described embodiment.

  In this modified form, since the shape of the convex portions 32 and 34 is different between the first region P and the second region Q, the fit feeling when gripping the grip portion differs depending on the gripping portion, and the gripping portion is changed. The desired fit can be obtained.

  In this modified embodiment, one ring-shaped first convex portion 32 is provided in the first region P, but two or more first-shaped convex portions are provided in the first region P with an interval. The shape part 32 can also be provided.

  Further, in this modification, the first region P is provided with a ring-shaped first-shaped convex portion 32 and the second region Q is provided with a spiral second-shaped convex portion 34. Contrary to the above configuration, the first region P is provided with a convex portion of the second form in a spiral shape, and the second region Q is provided with one or more convex portions of the first shape of the ring shape.
