Description

The present disclosure relates to parts attached to reel seats. The present disclosure also relates to reel seats and fishing rods provided with such parts.

In a fishing rod using a reel, a reel seat is used to attach the reel to the main body of the fishing rod. The reel seat has a seat body attached to the main body of the fishing rod and a hood for fixing the reel legs of the reel to the seat body. The reel seat may have a seat body formed in a pipe shape so that the body of the fishing rod penetrates. A reel seat having such a pipe-shaped seat body is referred to as a pipe seat in the art.

As an example of a pipe seat type reel seat, a double-screw reel or bait reel is attached to the upper side of the seat body, and a protrusion on the lower side of the seat body on which the user's finger can hang (such a protrusion is a trigger in the field). (Can be referred to as a trigger)) is known as a protruding reel seat. As an example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5919442 proposes a pipe sheet type reel sheet having the above-mentioned trigger.

Japanese Registered Patent No. 5919442

In fishing using a reel, the user swings a fishing rod to fly a device, that is, a so-called casting operation. Accurate casting operation is required to fly the device to the desired position. An example in which a reel seat according to a conventional technique is gripped when a user performs a casting operation is shown in FIG. 1a.

Referring to FIG. 1a, during the casting operation, the user can hold the reel seat (92) with the palm and the remaining fingers by touching the tip of the thumb (F1) to the spool of the reel (91). During the casting operation, the user must press the reel (91) with the thumb (F1) to prevent the spool from rotating, so that the user has an unnatural wrist. Therefore, it is difficult to perform a highly accurate casting operation.

The flight distance of the device can be adjusted by a so-called summing operation. The summing operation means an operation in which the thumb is brought into contact with the spool of the reel or the fishing line. During the summing operation, the user delicately touches the spool of the reel with his thumb (F1) so that the spool does not rotate faster than the fishing line comes out and the fishing line does not get entangled in the spool. Friction resistance can be given to the spool to adjust the rotation speed of the spool. As shown in FIG. 1a, there is a considerable gap between the rear surface of the reel (91) and the upper surface of the reel sheet (92). When the user performs the summing operation, the base of the thumb (F1) cannot be supported, and the user must perform the summing operation while moving the thumb (F1) greatly. This makes it difficult to adjust the force applied to the thumb (F1), and the flight distance of the device cannot be easily adjusted.

After casting the gimmick, the user performs a so-called palming operation in which the reel seat is gripped by hand to keep the fishing rod in a fixed position. An example in which a reel seat according to a conventional technique is gripped when a user performs a palming operation is shown in FIG. 1b.

Referring to FIG. 1b, during the palming operation, the user covers the thumb (F1) on the front upper side of the reel (91) and grips the reel seat (92) with the palm and the remaining fingers. That is, during the palming operation, the user grips the reel (91) and the reel seat (92) at the same time, and the reel (91) has a strong force to prevent left and right wobbling when turning the handle of the reel (91). And grip the reel seat (92). However, since there is a considerable gap between the rear surface of the reel (91) and the upper surface of the reel seat (92), the base of the thumb (F1) and the palm cannot be supported. As a result, the palming operation for a long time causes fatigue and pain in the user's hand.

Although various sizes of reels (91) can be attached to the reel seat (92), the reel seat (92) is downsized due to its light weight. When a relatively large size reel (91) is attached to the reel seat (92), a considerable gap is formed between the side surface of the reel seat (92) and the side surface of the reel (91). , The user's palm touches the reel (91) and the reel seat (92) with a small area. In this case, the user grips the reel (91) and the reel seat (92) with a strong grip strength in order to secure a stable grip force. However, since a gap is formed between the rear surface of the reel (91) and the upper surface of the reel seat (92) and between the side surface of the reel (91) and the side surface of the reel seat (92), the user can use the reel (92). When the 91) and the reel seat (92) are gripped with a strong grip force, the palm of the hand has to come into contact with the edge of the reel (91). As a result, the user has no choice but to grip the reel seat (92) with a reduced grip strength, and the strong grip strength may cause fatigue and pain in the palm and fingers.

In the case of the so-called hooking operation in which the fishhook is hooked on the mouth of the fish, or in the so-called fighting operation in which the fish is pulled, the user grips the reel and the reel seat with a stronger force than the palming operation. Since there is a considerable gap between the side of the reel and the side of the reel seat, the thumb ball portion of the hand (the slightly thicker portion below the thumb) easily enters such a gap. This allows the user's hand to grip the reel and reel seat in an atrophied form. Therefore, especially during the hooking operation or the fighting operation, the user's hand becomes an unnatural shape, and it is difficult for the user to put effort into the hand.

As described above, in the example of gripping a reel seat according to the prior art, a considerable gap is formed between the reel and the reel seat. Due to such a gap, the user feels fatigue and pain in the palm and thumb in various movements related to fishing, and cannot grip the reel and the reel seat with a good grip feeling and a strong grip force. As described above, the reel seat according to the prior art is disadvantageous in terms of convenience and improved grip feeling.

The disclosed examples solve at least one or more of the problems of the prior art described above. According to one embodiment, a palm rest is provided that is attached to a reel seat to support the user's palm. According to one embodiment, a palm rest that is lightweight and has high strength and can be attached to a reel seat is provided. According to one embodiment, a reel seat and a fishing rod with the aforementioned palm rest are provided.

One aspect of the disclosed embodiment provides a palm rest for a reel seat that is placed between the reel and a reel seat that attaches the reel to the rod body of a fishing rod to support the palm. The palm rest for a reel seat according to one embodiment includes a hollow body. The hollow body has a hollow portion that is opened toward the reel and extends toward the bat of the fishing rod, and a bottom wall portion and a support wall portion that surround the hollow portion. The bottom wall portion is coupled to the reel seat so that at least a portion of the hollow portion is located above the reel seat. The support wall portion is formed extending from the bottom wall portion to support the palm. When the hollow body is viewed from the side, at least a part of the upper contour line of the support wall portion tilts downward toward the bat of the fishing rod.

In one embodiment, the hollow body may be formed with a monocoque structure in which the bottom wall portion and the support wall portion are integrally formed and the hollow portion is limited.

In one embodiment, when the hollow body is viewed from the side, the hollow body has a first upper contour line that is at least partially tilted downward toward the bat of the fishing rod and a first that is tilted downward toward the tip of the fishing rod. It has two upper contour lines.

In one embodiment, the bottom wall portion includes a first bottom wall portion that abuts on the upper surface of the reel sheet and a second bottom wall portion that abuts on the side surface of the reel sheet and extends downward from the first bottom wall portion. .. When the hollow body is viewed from above, the hollow body is located between the first bottom wall portion and the support wall portion and faces the first lateral contour line recessed inside the hollow body and the first lateral contour line. It is located on the support wall portion and has a second lateral contour line that is convex or linear on the outside of the hollow body.

In one embodiment, the front end of the bottom wall towards the reel and the front end of the support wall towards the reel form the front end of the hollow body. The front end portion is rounded with a radius of curvature larger than the radius of curvature of the first front end portion having a thickness thicker than that of the first front end portion and the first front end portion connected to the first bottom wall portion, and the second bottom wall portion. Includes a second front end located opposite to.

In one embodiment, the bottom wall portion has a locking projection that is locked to a portion of the reel sheet to prevent the hollow body from moving.

In one embodiment, the hollow body has a through hole formed through the bottom wall portion, and a bolt that detachably connects the hollow body to the reel sheet penetrates the through hole.

Another aspect of the disclosed embodiment provides a reel seat that secures the reel legs of the reel and attaches the reel to the rod body of a fishing rod.

The hollow portion (2111) is at the front end (2112) and is opened towards the tip or reel of the fishing rod and extends towards the rear end (2113), i.e. towards the bat of the fishing rod. The opposite side of the hollow portion (2111) to the open side may be closed by the rear end portion (2113) or may be opened with a size smaller than the open side.

The bottom wall portion (2120) is coupled to the seat body (1100) of the reel seat (1000). The lower surface of the bottom wall portion (2120) may be formed so as to be in surface contact with the surface of the seat body (1100). The support wall portion (2130) is formed integrally with the bottom wall portion (2120). The support wall portion (2130), together with the bottom wall portion (2120), limits the hollow portion (2111) of the hollow body (2100). The support wall portion (2130) comes into contact with the user's palm at a part of the upper surface thereof, and the support wall portion (2130) supports the user's palm.

The hollow body according to the embodiment can be formed so that the height dimension and the width dimension decrease toward the bat of the fishing rod, that is, gradually narrow toward the rear end portion. The hollow body (2100) of one embodiment is formed so as to gradually narrow from the front end portion (2112) to the rear end portion (2113). As shown in FIG. 7, the height dimension (VD) in the vertical direction of the hollow body (2100) and the width dimension (HD) in the horizontal direction of the hollow body (2100) are changed from the front end portion (2112) to the rear direction (RD). Hollow bodies (2100) are formed so as to gradually decrease. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the hollow portion (2111) is also formed so that its height dimension and width dimension decrease from the front end portion (2112) to the rear end portion (2113). As another embodiment, the portion of the hollow body whose height and width dimensions are reduced may be provided only in a predetermined section in the forward direction from the rear end portion (2113).

When viewed from the side of a hollow body that narrows toward the bat of the fishing rod, at least part or all of the upper contour of the hollow body tilts downward toward the bat of the fishing rod. Here, the upper contour line of the hollow body can be referred to as a line seen at the upper end of the hollow body when the hollow body is viewed from the side. Also, when looking from above the hollow body that narrows toward the bat of the fishing rod, at least part or all of the lateral contour of the hollow body tilts inward of the hollow body. Here, the lateral contour line of the hollow body can be referred to as a line seen at each side end of the hollow body when the hollow body is viewed from above. Thus, the hollow body (2100) formed to gradually shrink towards the bat of the fishing rod can be easily inserted by the user's hand into the space between the palm and the thenar of the thumb. It can be in close contact with the palm of the user.

In one embodiment, the hollow body (2100) is formed with a monocoque structure that limits the hollow portion (2111) inside it, and in such a monocoque structure, a bottom wall portion (2120) and a support wall portion (2130). ) Is formed integrally. Therefore, the hollow body (2100) has high strength while being formed as a single body (one-piece body). Here, the monocoque structure can be referred to as a structure formed so as to withstand an external force with one wall body without using a frame member that can withstand an external force. Therefore, the hollow body (2100) formed as a monocoque structure can have high strength while having a thin thickness. Further, the hollow body (2100) formed as a monocoque structure has no seams and can be formed, for example, by injection molding of a resin material. Therefore, the hollow body (2100) is formed to be lightweight due to its thin thickness, and the weight increase of the reel sheet can be suppressed.

The hollow body (2100) formed of a monocoque structure and gradually shrinking toward the bat of the fishing rod is at a level sufficient for the horizontal external force (EP1) shown in FIG. 7 and the vertical external force (EP2) shown in FIG. It resists with strength and does not cause damage or damage. The integrated bottom wall portion (2120) and support wall portion (2130) form a monocoque structure of the hollow body (2100) while limiting the hollow portion (2111) of the hollow body (2100). As a result, at least a part of the bottom wall portion (2120) and at least a part of the support wall portion (2130) are formed so as to narrow toward the bat of the fishing rod along the axial direction (AD). The support wall portion (2130) has an arch-shaped cross-sectional shape. The arched support wall portion (2130) can strongly resist external forces (EP2) (see FIG. 8) in the vertical direction.

6 and 9-13 are referenced for the description of the hollow body of the palm rest according to one embodiment. FIG. 9 is a side view of the palm rest shown in FIG. FIG. 10 shows a plan view of the palm rest shown in FIG. 6 and a part of the reel. FIG. 11 shows an example of gripping the reel seat according to one embodiment, and shows a cross-sectional shape taken along the line 11-11 of FIG. FIG. 12 shows a front view of the palm rest shown in FIG. 6 and a part of the reel. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 13-13 of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 9, when the hollow body according to one embodiment is viewed from the side, the hollow body (2100) may have a first upper contour line (UC1) and a second upper contour line (UC2). The first upper contour line (UC1) and the second upper contour line (UC2) can be inclined downward from the points where they are in contact with each other in the axial direction (AD) of the rod body. When the hollow body is viewed from the side, the point where the first upper contour line (UC1) and the second upper contour line (UC2) meet each other can be the uppermost end (2119) of the hollow body. According to one embodiment, the top of the front end (2112) can be the top of the hollow body (2119). The first upper contour line (UC1) located between the uppermost end (2119) and the rear end (2113) of the hollow body (that is, located in the region of the hollow portion (2111) of the hollow body (2100)) is It tilts downward from the top end (2119) of the hollow body toward the bat of the fishing rod. Further, the first upper contour line (UC1) is inclined from the center of rotation of the spool of the reel or the upper end of the spool of the reel toward the reel seat. Since the hollow body (2100) contacts the palm at the inclined first upper contour line (UC1), the hollow body (2100) easily supports the palm in the space between the user's palm and the upper surface of the reel seat. can do. The second upper contour line (UC2) located at the front end portion (2112) of the hollow body (2100) is inclined downward from the uppermost end (2119) of the hollow body toward the tip of the fishing rod. The second upper contour line (UC2) can correspond to the shape of the spool of the reel.

Referring to FIG. 10, the hollow body (2100) according to the embodiment is formed so that the center line (CL) that divides the hollow body (2100) into two in the width direction is separated from the axial direction (AD), and is in the axial direction. It has an asymmetrical shape with respect to (AD). When the hollow body (2100) is viewed from above, the hollow body (2100) can be divided into two parts according to the axial direction (AD) of the rod body. One of the two parts is the first part (2114) near the reel handle (131), and the other of the two parts is far from the reel handle (131) and is the first part (2114). A second portion (2115) having a width greater than the width of 2114). The second portion (2115) is located on the opposite side of the handle (131) of the reel (130) with respect to the axial direction (AD). As described above, in the hollow body (2100) of one embodiment, the second portion (2115) located on the opposite side of the reel handle (131) with respect to the axial direction (AD) becomes the reel handle (131). It is formed larger than the first portion (2114) to which it faces. Thereby, the hollow body (2100) can fill the gap between the opposite side of the handle (131) of the reel (130) and the side surface of the reel seat.

In order to fill the gap between the opposite side of the reel handle (131) and the reel seat, the bottom wall portion (2120) of the hollow body of one embodiment is formed so as to abut on the upper surface and the side surface of the seat body (1100). Can be done. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 10, the bottom wall portion (2120) of the hollow body (2100) of one embodiment is in contact with the upper surface of the reel sheet (that is, the upper surface of the seat body (1100)). (2121) and a second bottom wall portion (2122) that comes into contact with the side surface of the reel seat (that is, the side surface of the seat body (1100)). The second bottom wall portion (2122) extends downward from the first bottom wall portion (2121). In the hollow body (2100), the second bottom wall portion (2122) is located on the opposite side of the reel handle (131) with respect to the axial direction (AD) of the rod body. The support wall portion (2130) is formed integrally with the bottom wall portion (2120) so as to cover the first bottom wall portion (2121) and the second bottom wall portion (2122). The second bottom wall portion (2122) comes into contact with the side surface of the seat body, and the support wall portion (2130) covers the bottom wall portion (2120). Therefore, the hollow body (2100) is formed so as to project toward the opposite side of the reel handle (131) in the side direction perpendicular to the length direction of the seat body (1100) with respect to the axial direction (AD). Therefore, the gap between the opposite side of the reel handle (131) and the side surface of the seat body of the reel seat can be effectively filled.

Referring to FIG. 10, when the hollow body according to one embodiment is viewed from above, the hollow body (2100) has a first lateral contour line (LC1) and a second lateral contour line (LC2). When the hollow body is viewed from above, the first lateral contour line (LC1) is located in the first portion (2114), specifically between the first bottom wall portion (2121) and the support wall portion (2130). The second lateral contour line (LC2) is located on the support wall portion (2130) facing the first lateral contour line (LC1). Further, the first lateral contour line (LC1) is closer to the reel handle (131), and the second lateral contour line (LC2) is farther from the reel handle (131) than the first lateral contour line (LC1). To position. When the hollow body (2100) is viewed from above, the first lateral contour line (LC1) is recessed inside the hollow body (2100), and the second lateral contour line (LC2) has a linear shape or the hollow body (LC2). It is convex to the outside of 2100).

When the hollow body (2100) is viewed from above, the first lateral contour line (LC1) is located in the first portion (2114) and is recessed inside the hollow body (2100). Thus, for example, when the user grips the reel seat with his right hand, a space is formed between the user's fingertips and the first portion (2114) of the hollow body (2100), and the user's fingertips are the first portion (2114). ) Suppresses the possibility of contact with the hollow body (2100). In this regard, see FIGS. 5, 10 and 11.

As shown in FIG. 5, the grip body (1300) of the seat body (1100) may have two recesses (1322, 1323) on the lower outer surface. The recesses (1322, 1323) are recessed inside the grip body (1300). The user can grip the seat body (1100) so that any one finger except the thumb covers the recess (1322). The recesses (1322, 1323) allow the user to fully bend his fingers into a hook to grip the grip body (1300). The contraction of the flexors that bend the fingers increases the load bearing capacity. Therefore, in order for the user to grip the seat body with a strong grip force, it is important that the user's fingers are sufficiently bent like a hook to cover the recesses (1322, 1323).

The hollow body of the palm rest is joined to the seat body so as to be located above the seat body. As shown in FIG. 5, according to one embodiment, the support wall portion of the hollow body is separated upward from the recess (1322). When the user grips the grip body (1300), the finger covering the recess (1322) can come into contact with the support wall portion of the hollow body. In this case, the user may be impaired in the action of bending the finger like a hook. However, according to the palm rest of one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the first lateral contour line (LC1) is located in the first portion (2114) and is recessed inside the hollow body (2100). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user grips the reel seat, a space is formed between the user's fingertip and the first portion (2114) of the hollow body (2100), and the user's fingertip becomes the first. The possibility of contact with the hollow body (2100) at one portion (2114) is suppressed. Therefore, the user can sufficiently bend the finger covering the recess of the grip body like a hook. In addition, the user can grip the seat body with a strong grip force without touching the hollow body (2100) with the fingertips as much as possible.

As described above, the hollow body (2100) is formed asymmetrically with respect to the axial direction (AD) and is coupled to the reel seat so as to be asymmetrical with respect to the axial direction (AD). Therefore, the hollow body (2100) has a portion protruding from the axial direction (AD) toward the side of the seat body (1100), effectively providing a gap between the opposite side of the reel handle (131) and the reel seat. Can be filled.

In one embodiment, the front end of the hollow body may be rounded with a predetermined radius of curvature along its entire circumference. Further, the front end portion may be composed of a portion having a constant thickness and a portion having a thickness further thick than the portion having the constant thickness on the opposite side of the handle of the reel.

With reference to FIGS. 12 and 13, the front end portion (2112) is located at a position facing the first front end portion (2116) connected to the first bottom wall portion (2121) and the second bottom wall portion (2122). 2 Includes the front end (2117). The second front end (2117) is located on the opposite side of the reel handle (131) with respect to the axial direction (AD). The second front end portion (2117) has a thickness (T2) thicker than the thickness (T1) of the first front end portion (2116). Further, the second front end portion (2117) is rounded with a radius of curvature (R2) larger than the radius of curvature (R1) of the first front end portion (2116). With reference to FIG. 12, of the front end (2112) connecting the first front end (2116) and the second front end (2117) between the first front end (2116) and the second front end (2117). Part can be the third front end (2118). The first front end (2116), second front end (2117) and third front end (2118) can form part of the open inlet of the hollow portion (2111). The third front end (2118) may have the same thickness and radius of curvature as the thickness and radius of curvature of the first front end (2116).

Various types of reels can be attached to the reel seats of the embodiments. Some of these reels can be attached to the reel seat so that their side ends are located inside the side ends of the palm rest with respect to the axial direction (AD). In this case, a gap is formed between the side end of the reel and the side end of the palm rest, and such a gap reduces the grip feeling. According to one embodiment, the front end (2112) of the hollow body has a second front end (2117) located on the opposite side of the reel handle, and the second front end (2117) is the front end (2112). It has a thicker thickness and a larger radius of curvature than other parts (eg, the first front end (2116)). That is, at the front end portion (2112), the thickness of the second front end portion (2117) is larger than the thickness of the other portion of the front end portion. Further, at the front end portion (2112), the second front end portion (2117) is rounded with a radius of curvature larger than the radius of curvature of the other portion of the front end portion. As a result, the hollow body (2100) has an increased thickness only in the region of the front end (2112) located on the opposite side of the reel handle (131) (ie, only in the second front end (2117)). Possible, such an increased thickness allows the second front end (2117) to be rounded with a sufficient level of radius of curvature (R2). As a result, if a gap is formed between the side end of the reel and the second front end (2117) of the hollow body (2100), the second front end (R2) rounded with increased thickness and radius of curvature (R2). 2117) does not reduce the grip feeling. Therefore, the hollow body (2100) of one embodiment can be applied to various types of reels without reducing the grip feeling.

FIG. 14 is a downward perspective view of the palm rest shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 15 is a bottom view of the palm rest shown in FIG.

The hollow body of one embodiment may include an element that is locked to the seat body of the reel seat. When the hollow body is coupled to the upper surface of the seat body of the reel seat, the locking element can be locked to a part of the seat body to prevent the hollow body from moving. Referring to FIG. 14, the bottom wall portion (2120) of the hollow body (2100) has a locking projection (2123) protruding downward. The locking projection (2123) extends along the front end of the hollow body at the bottom wall portion (2120). The locking projection (2123) is formed so as to engage a part of the seat body. As an example, the locking projection (2123) may be formed to engage the front end of a fixed hood (1400) (see FIG. 6) of the seat body. As another example, the locking projections (2123) may be provided at locations other than the front end of the hollow body, and the seat body may include corresponding elements to which the locking projections (2123) may engage or fit. it can.

The hollow body of one embodiment can be detachably coupled to the seat body of the reel seat by a bolt fastening method. With reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, the hollow body (2100) has a through hole (2124) formed through the bottom wall portion (2120). The through hole (2124) can penetrate the first bottom wall portion (2121) of the bottom wall portion (2120) and can be located in the axial direction (AD) of the rod body. By fastening the bolts to the seat body via the through holes (2124), the hollow body (2100) can be detachably coupled to the seat body of the reel seat. As an example, the seat body may be formed with screw holes to which the bolts are fastened, or nuts to which the bolts are fastened may be provided. By fastening the bolt to the seat body, strong connection strength can be provided to the hollow body (2100) and the seat body 1100).

FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing an example in which the palm rest according to the embodiment is coupled to the reel seat according to the embodiment. The palm rest (2000) can be detachably and firmly coupled to the reel seat (1000). According to one embodiment, the reel seat (1000) includes a coupling device (1600) that couples the palm rest (2000) to the seat body (1100).

With reference to FIG. 16, the coupling device (1600) includes a nut (1610) and a bolt (1620) fastened to the nut (1610). In one embodiment, the nut (1610) is embedded in the seat body (1100). As an example, the nut (1610) can be embedded in the seat body (1100) by injection molding the seat body (1100) using the nut (1610) as an insert. The nut (1610) is located inside the fixed hood (1400) of the seat body (1100). Further, the nut (1610) can be located in the axial direction (AD) of the rod body.

A recess (1631) is formed on the upper surface of the fixed hood (1400), and a through hole (1632) is formed from the recess (1631) to the nut (1610). A through hole (2124) is formed in the first bottom wall portion (2121) of the hollow body (2100), and a boss (2125) surrounding the through hole (2124) is formed on the lower surface of the first bottom wall portion (2121). Is protruding. As the hollow body (2100) rests on the fixed hood (1400), the boss (2125) is fitted into the recess (1631). The bolt (1620) may pass through the through hole (2124), washer (1621) and through hole (1632) and be fastened to the nut (1610). Also, by removing the bolt (1620) from the nut (1610), the hollow body (2100) can be easily separated from the seat body (1100). Since the hollow body (2100) is bonded to the seat body (1100) using the nut (1610) and the bolt (1620), the palm rest (2000) of one embodiment is firmly bonded to the reel seat (1000). Not only can it be easily separated. Further, since the nut (1610) is embedded in the seat body (1100), the nut (1610) that becomes a part of the coupling device (1600) can be reliably maintained in the seat body (1100).

The palm rest of one embodiment shown in FIGS. 6-16 may be applied for right-handed users. FIG. 17 illustrates a palm rest according to another embodiment. The palm rest (2000) shown in FIG. 17 may be applied for left-handed users. The palm rest (2000) shown in FIG. 17 has the same configuration as the palm rest of the above-described embodiment, and each component thereof is formed symmetrically with the palm rest of the above-described embodiment. The palm rest of yet another embodiment may be configured to apply to either right-handed or left-handed users. The palm rests of such an example can be formed symmetrically with respect to the axial direction.

FIG. 18 is a plan view showing a modified example of the palm rest. With reference to FIG. 18, the hollow body may have a protrusion (2131) that can protrude from the support wall portion (2130) to increase grip. 19a and 19b are side views and plan views showing still another modification of the palm rest, respectively. With reference to FIGS. 19a and 19b, the support wall portion (2130) of the hollow body may be formed so as to widen rearward from the front end portion (2112) and then narrow. With reference to FIG. 19a, a part of the first upper contour line (UC1) of the upper contour line of the hollow body (upper contour line of the support wall portion (2130)) is inclined downward, and the first upper contour line (UC1). Has a vertex (UP). The apex (UP) of the first upper contour line (UC1) can be the topmost end of the hollow body. Referring to FIG. 19b, the second lateral contour line (LC2) of the hollow body is arcuately convex to the outside of the hollow body and has vertices (LP). The apex (LP) of the second lateral contour line (LC2) is located behind the front end portion (2112) and can be the outermost end of the hollow body. As described above, since the support wall portion (2130) has the apex (UP, LP), the hollow body gradually narrows from the position of the apex (UP, LP) toward the bat of the fishing rod.

The palm rest of one embodiment improves the grip feeling and grip force in the casting operation or palming operation of the user, and stably supports the palm of the user. An example in which the palm rest according to the embodiment improves the grip feeling and the grip force will be described with reference to FIGS. 20a to 21b.

20a and 20b show an example in which the palm rest according to one embodiment and the reel seat according to one embodiment are gripped by a casting operation. The user can perform the casting operation with the tip of the thumb (F1) placed on the clutch and spool of the reel (130). The palm rest (2000) attached to the reel seat (1000) can support the thumb (F1) with its support wall portion (2130). Therefore, the area where the thumb (F1) is supported is increased, and the user can grip the reel seat (1000) with an improved grip force. That is, the user does not need to grip the reel seat (1000) while exerting a large force on the thumb (F1). As a result, the user's wrist can move freely, and the accuracy of the casting movement can be improved. Also, the base of the thumb (F1) can be supported by the palm rest (2000). As a result, the amount of movement of the thumb (F1) can be reduced, and the force applied to the thumb (F1) in the summing operation can be easily adjusted. As a result, the flight distance of the device can be easily controlled during the casting operation.

21a and 21b show an example in which the palm rest according to one embodiment and the reel seat according to one embodiment are gripped by a palming operation. The palm rest (2000) of one embodiment attached to the reel seat (1000) has a gap between the rear surface of the reel (130) and the upper surface of the reel seat (1000), and the side surface of the reel (130) and the reel seat (1000). Fill the gap between the sides of 1000). Therefore, the palm of the user may be supported by the palm rest (2000) when the user grips the reel seat (1000) during the palming operation. As a result, the load during the palming operation can be distributed over the entire fingers and palms, improving the grip feeling and grip force. In addition, the load distribution and improved grip allow the user to release tension and handle the fishing rod. As a result, the user can easily grasp the hit of the fish with the improved sensitivity of the fishing rod. Further, since the grip strength is improved by the palm rest (2000), the user does not need to increase the grip strength of the finger, and the fatigue and pain of the finger can be reduced in the palming operation for a long time.

Further, the palm rest (2000) of one embodiment fills a gap between the reel (130) and the side surface of the reel seat (1000). This allows the user to maintain a hand shape that is easy to grip the reel and reel seat, similar to the palming operation, even if the user grips the reel and reel seat strongly. Therefore, the power loss due to the unnatural hand shape can be reduced, and the power applied to the fishing rod during the hooking operation or the fighting operation can be improved.

The upper surface (1331) is curved with the same curvature with respect to the center of the bore (1110) of the pipe body. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the surface and the protruding portion (1330) of the inner peripheral portion (1211) of the pipe body (1200) in a state where the protruding portion (1330) is fitted into the notch slit (1220). The upper surface (1331) limits the bore (1110). According to one embodiment, the bore (1110) is limited by the inner peripheral portion (1211) of the pipe body (1200) and the upper surface (1331) of the protruding portion (1330), so that the rod body and the seat body can be joined. The adhesive can be applied to the inner peripheral portion (1211) of the pipe body (1200) and the protruding portion (1330) of the grip body (1300). As a result, both the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300) can be firmly fixed to the rod body.

The size of the cover portion (1310) is set so that the gap between the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body and the cover portion (1310) is limited. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the width of the cover portion (1310) in the width direction (WD) perpendicular to the axial direction (AD) is further larger than the height in the vertical direction of the cover portion (1310). Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the cover portion (1310) has a substantially semi-elliptical shape. Therefore, when the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300) are combined, a gap (1130) is formed between the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200) and the inner peripheral portion (1311) of the cover portion (1310). Is formed. The gap (1130) exists in the region of the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200) surrounded by the cover portion (1310) and is formed in the axial direction (AD) and the circumferential direction (CD). Since both side edges (1312) of the cover portion (1310) are engaged with the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200), the gap (1130) is formed between the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200) and the cover portion (1212). It is limited by both side edges (1312) of the cover portion (1310) to and from the inner peripheral portion (1311) of the 1310). With the protrusion (1330) fitted into the notch slit of the pipe body (1200), the edge surface (1222) of the notch slit and the edge surface (1332) of the protrusion are bored (1110) and the gap (1130). ) Are separated from each other. As a result, the gap formed in the seat body of the reel seat includes two gaps (1130) arranged symmetrically with respect to the protrusion (1330). The two gaps (1130) are each limited by both side edges (1312) of the cover portion (1310) and both side edges (1221) of the notched slits.

As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the seat body of one embodiment is a combination of a pipe body (1200) and a grip body (1300), and the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1200) are inside the seat body. A gap (1130) is formed between the vehicle and the 1300). Therefore, the seat body of one embodiment may have a reduced weight than the seat body as one body. The cross-sectional shape of the cover portion (1310) of the grip body (1300) corresponds to a substantially semi-elliptical shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the pipe body (1200) has an annular shape. Therefore, the seat body of one embodiment includes an outer body having a flat shape (for example, a cover portion of a grip portion) and an inner body having an annular shape (for example, a pipe body). As a result, the outer body and the inner body can be independently designed to reduce the thickness, so that a lightweight reel seat seat body can be realized. Further, such a pipe body and a grip body can be molded from a molding die having a simple structure. Therefore, the molding cost of the seat body can be reduced. Further, since various pipe bodies to be combined with one grip body can be easily designed and manufactured, a reel seat seat body having various deformed dimensions can be realized.

The width of the notch slit can be determined to be effective in reducing the weight and strength of the reel sheet. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 24, the width (SW) of the notch slit is preferably in the range of 50% to 80% of the inner diameter (BD) of the bore (1110). Here, the inner diameter (BD) of the bore (1110) may mean the diameter of the bore passing through the center of the bore (1110) in the horizontal direction in the cross-sectional shape of the pipe body.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 26, the protrusion (1330) has a front end surface (1333) tilted towards the front end of the pipe body (1200) at its front end. The front end surface (1333) is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the axial direction (AD). The pipe body (1200) is provided with a slope (1223) in the notched slit. The slope (1223) is inclined from the lower surface of the pipe body (1200) toward the front end of the pipe body (1200) at the same inclination as the inclination of the front end surface (1333) of the protruding portion (1330). When the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300) are connected, the front end surface (1333) of the protrusion (1330) and the slope (1223) of the notch slit come into contact with each other. The front end surface (1333) and the slope (1223) achieve an inclined contact, and a force attracting each other can act on the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the grip body (1300) or the pipe body (1200) from rotating relatively, and it is possible to suppress rattling between the two.

The pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300) can be coupled in the axial direction (AD) by snap coupling. In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 27, the pipe body (1200) is provided with a locking groove (1213) extending in the circumferential direction (CD) at the rear end. The locking groove (1213) extends in the circumferential direction (CD) from each edge (1221) of the notched slit (1220). The locking groove (1213) is separated forward from the rear end surface (1215) of the pipe body (1200). As a result, a locking flange (1214) extending in an arc shape is formed between the locking groove (1213) and the rear end surface (1215). The grip body (1300) includes a locking projection (1321) that is locked in a locking groove (1213) of the pipe body (1200). The locking projection (1321) extends in an arc shape to correspond to the shape of the locking flange (1214). The locking projection (1321) extends in the circumferential direction (CD). As the pipe body (1200) is inserted into the grip body (1300) in the axial direction (AD), the locking projection (1321) is locked in the locking groove (1213) in the axial direction (AD). It is snap-coupled to the groove (1213). Since the rear end of the pipe body (1200) can be flexed and deformed by the notch slit (1220), the snap connection between the locking groove (1213) and the locking projection (1321) is with the pipe body (1200). Eliminates the risk of breakage of the rear end of the pipe body (1200) when joining the grip body (1300).

In the reel seat of one embodiment, the gap formed in the seat body is sealed by the connection between the pipe body and the grip body. With reference to FIGS. 23 to 25, the pipe body (1200) includes a pair of sealing protrusions (1216) on the outer peripheral portion (1212). The sealing protrusion (1216) protrudes in the outer radial direction at the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200) and extends in the axial direction (AD). The sealing projection (1216) may extend linearly or stepwise in the axial direction (AD). The cover portion (1310) of the grip body (1300) includes a sealing groove (1313) that engages with the sealing projection (1216). The gap (1130) is sealed by the sealing projections (1216) and sealing grooves (1313) that are engaged with each other. The sealing groove (1313) is located at each edge (1312) of the cover portion (1310) and extends along each edge (1312) in the axial direction (AD). The edge (1312) of the cover portion (1310) extends to correspond to the shape of the sealing projection (1216) of the pipe body, and the sealing groove (1313) is along the edge (1312) having such a shape. It is formed.

The sealing groove (1313) may be formed such that the sealing projection (1216) is fitted into the sealing groove (1313). For example, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing groove (1313) can be L-shaped. Therefore, the sealing protrusion (1216) and the sealing groove (1313) form at least two sealing surfaces (for example, a peripheral sealing surface and a radial sealing surface). Water or seawater can enter the gaps (1130) formed in the seat body (1100), and such water can penetrate the bore through the notch slits in the pipe body and the protrusions in the grip body. Then, the adhesive that adheres the rod body to the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300) can cause deterioration such as blushing or chalking due to moisture. However, according to one embodiment, the sealing projection (1216) and the sealing groove (1313) seal the gap (1130) while making at least two surface contacts. Therefore, the intrusion of water into the gap (1130) is prevented and the deterioration of the adhesive is prevented.

Referring to FIG. 24, the edge (1312) of the cover portion (1310) may be formed so as to be in close contact with the surface of the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200). As a result, a sealing structure formed by three surface contacts can be formed between the outer peripheral portion (1212) of the pipe body (1200) and the edge (1312) of the cover portion (1310). Further, the edge (1312) of the cover portion (1310) is formed so that a part of the pipe body (1200) located between the edge (1312) and the protruding portion (1330) is compressed by the edge (1312). Can be done. In this case, the sealing protrusion (1216) receives a force in the circumferential direction (CD) due to the edge (1312), and the pipe body (1200) receives a compressive force in the circumferential direction (CD) toward the notch slit (1220). It can be applied and the notch slit (1220) and the protrusion (1330) can come into surface contact even more strongly.

With reference to FIGS. 26 and 27, in one embodiment, the pipe body (1200) includes a front sealing projection (1217) that projects from the underside of the outer peripheral portion (1212) and connects to the front end of the sealing projection. The front sealing protrusion (1217) extends in an arc shape. The cover portion (1310) of the grip body (1300) is provided with a front sealing groove (1314) along its front edge. The front sealing groove (1314) is connected to the sealing groove (1313). The front sealing protrusion (1217) is fitted into the front sealing groove (1314) in the axial direction, and it is possible to prevent water from entering the gap in the rear direction while forming a sealing structure by two surface contacts.

With reference to FIGS. 24 and 25, the cover portion (1310) includes a curved surface (1315) on the outer peripheral portion. The curved surface (1315) may have a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the cover portion (1310). The curved surface (1315) extends in the axial direction (AD). Further, the curved surface (1315) is located outside the gap (1130) formed between the pipe body (1200) and the grip body (1300). Since the curved surface (1315) is formed on the cover portion (1310), when the user grips the grip body (1300), the user can grip the cover portion (1310) with a finger without feeling a foreign body. The cover portion (1310) that partially encloses the pipe body (1200) can be formed over a long area within the seat body so that the user can at least bring the index finger, middle finger and ring finger into sufficient contact with the cover portion (1310). .. Therefore, the reel seat of one embodiment can provide an improved grip feeling.

The grip body (1300) of one embodiment is provided with two recesses (1322, 1323) on the lower outer surface of the cylindrical portion (1320) behind the curved surface (1315). The recesses (1322, 1323) are separated by a trigger (1324) protruding downward from the underside of the cylindrical portion (1320). Recesses (1322, 1323) and triggers (1324) to which fingers can be fixed are provided only on the grip body (1300). Referring to FIG. 26, the recess (1322) is formed on the outer periphery of the region where the protrusion (1330) is formed along the axial direction (AD), and the trigger (1324) is behind the pipe body (1200). Formed on the outer circumference corresponding to the bottom of the end, the recess (1323) is located behind the trigger (1324). In the region of the recess (1322), the protrusion (1330) is fitted into the notch slit to limit a portion of the bore (1110) of the pipe body (1200). As a result, in the seat body, the front portion of the trigger (1324) is not formed in a double structure in the vertical direction. Therefore, the seat body of the reel seat of one embodiment may have reduced vertical dimensions as compared to having a double structure in the vertical direction. As a result, when the user grips the reel seat, the user can grip the reel seat narrowly in the vertical direction, and can grip the reel seat with an improved grip feeling.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the aforementioned fixed hood (1400) is provided in the cylindrical portion (1320) of the grip body (1300). The front upper end portion of the cylindrical portion (1320) protrudes upward while having a thicker thickness than the lateral portion, and forms a fixed hood (1400). As another embodiment, the fixed hood (1400) can be formed separately from the grip body (1300) and can be coupled to the grip body (1300).

With reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, the movable hood (1500) is movably coupled to the front end of the pipe body (1200) in the axial direction (AD).
