Description

  The present invention relates to a flyline cleaning tool for use in removing dirt on a flyline surface used for fly fishing or applying a lubricant for improving lubricity to the flyline surface.

  The fishing line used for fly fishing consists of a fly line that plays the role of the road line and a leader that plays the role of Harris connected to the tip of the fishing line. Since fly fishing does not have a weight attached to the tip of the fishing line, the force to fly the leader and the fly connected to it far away is given by the fly line having a large diameter. In order to increase the fly distance, it is necessary to smoothly fly the fly line far away when the fly rod is shaken. Since the fly line comes into contact with the fly rod and the guide at the time of jumping out, it is required that the friction resistance with them is small, and as a countermeasure, a lubricant for reducing the friction resistance is applied to the surface of the fly line. Lubricants are also applied to increase fly line buoyancy and extend life. The effectiveness of the lubricant decreases with use. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to reapply. Moreover, since the dirt adheres to the flyline surface by use, it is necessary to remove the dirt.

  As a tool used for application | coating of the lubricant to this fly line, there exists a tool disclosed by patent document 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 6, this tool is configured such that one end (1c, 2c) of a pair of tongue pieces (1, 2) is openable and closable, and the other end (1a, 2a) is connected to each tongue piece. A cleaning member (6, 7) made of a felt plate or the like is affixed to the inner surface. When applying the lubricant, the cleaning member is impregnated, the tongue pieces (1, 2) are closed across the fly line, and the fly line and the cleaning member are moved relative to each other.

However, this tool is difficult to work because the tool must be held with one hand and the fly line must be pulled with the other hand. In addition, workability is poor because it is necessary to remove the entire fly line from the reel prior to work and to rewind it to the reel after work. For this reason, there is a problem that is not suitable for removing dirt on the fly line or applying a lubricant in the field.
Actual No. 3049359 gazette

  The present invention has been made to solve these problems of the prior art, and the problem is that the surface of the flyline used for fly fishing is cleaned or a lubricant that improves lubricity is applied to the flyline surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fly line cleaning tool that is used in the field, and has good workability and can be easily operated in the field.

  The device according to claim 1 for solving the above problem is a fly line cleaning tool used for removing dirt on a surface of a fly line used for fly fishing or applying a lubricant to the fly line surface. The double-sided fastener band is formed as a flexible band having a predetermined width and a predetermined length having engagement pieces on both the front and back surfaces, and the thickness of the sponge is the width of the double-sided fastener band. The sponge is formed in a shape in which the longitudinal direction is shorter than the length of the double-sided fastener band, the longitudinal section is mountain-shaped or trapezoidal, and a narrow V-shaped groove is provided perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction from the center of the top. Is mounted at a position a predetermined distance away from one end of the double-sided fastener band. A.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to wind and fix the hook-and-loop fastener band around the fly rod so that the V-shaped groove of the sponge is impregnated with the lubricant, the fly line is sandwiched, and the sponge is crushed. In this state, if the reel is rotated to wind up the fly line, the surface of the fly line can be removed and the lubricant can be applied simultaneously. Since the fly line cleaning tool is fixed to the fly rod, the handle portion of the fly rod can be held with one hand and the reel can be turned with the other hand. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the workability is better than the conventional method in which the tool is held by hand and the work can be performed in a short time because the work can be performed in a short time.

  Further, the invention described in claim 2 is the fly line cleaning tool according to claim 1, wherein the double-sided fastener band has a surface near the other end opposite to the one end on the same side as the surface on which the sponge is attached. Is a fly line cleaning tool to which a non-slip member for increasing the frictional resistance with the fly rod surface is attached.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the fly line cleaning tool from shifting when the fly line is wound around the reel.

  The invention described in claim 3 is the flyline cleaning tool according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the sponge is provided with an engagement piece that engages the surface of the double-sided fastener band on the surface that contacts the double-sided fastener band. A flyline cleaning tool characterized in that it is detachably attached to the surface of a double-sided fastener band.

  According to such a configuration, when the sponge becomes dirty, only the sponge can be replaced with a new one. Further, there is an advantage that the sponge can be exchanged between removing the dirt and applying the lubricant.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fly line cleaning tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a flyline cleaning tool 10 according to the present invention. The flyline cleaning tool 10 includes a double-sided fastener band 11, a sponge 12, and an anti-slip member 13.

  The double-sided fastener band 11 is a flexible band made of fiber having a width of 20 to 40 mm and a length of 130 to 180 mm. The length should be such that it can be wound several times around the fly rod. Engagement pieces are formed on one surface on both front and back surfaces of the double-sided fastener band 11, and can be formed into a ring shape by rolling and joining the front and back surfaces with engagement pieces.

  The sponge 12 is made of a soft material. Felt may be used instead of the sponge. The sponge 12 has a longitudinal cross section formed in a mountain shape or a trapezoidal shape, and the thickness width is substantially equal to the width of the double-sided fastener band 11. The base of the mountain or trapezoid has a length of 40 to 50 mm and is shorter than the length of the hook-and-loop fastener band 11. A narrow V-shaped groove 14 is formed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at the center of the upper side of the chevron or trapezoid. The sponge 12 is affixed at a position slightly spaced from the one end 11a of the double-sided fastener band 11 using an adhesive.

  The anti-slip member 13 is for preventing the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 from shifting in the longitudinal direction of the fly rod when the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 is wound around the fly rod. In order to increase the frictional resistance, the anti-slip member 13 is made of, for example, rubber and has a large number of protrusions formed on the surface. The anti-slip member 13 is the same surface as the surface to which the sponge 12 is attached, and is attached to a length portion of 20 to 30 mm from the end 11b opposite to the one end 11a. In addition, when the frictional resistance between the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 and the fly rod is ensured, the anti-slip member 13 may be omitted.

  Next, the usage method of this fly line cleaning tool 10 is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4, the fly line cleaning tool 10 is wound around the fly rod 17 and used. As shown in FIG. 2, the anti-slip member 13 of the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 is applied to the surface of the fly rod 17 and the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 is tightly wound and temporarily engaged by engaging the engaging pieces on both the front and back surfaces as shown in FIG. To do.

  When a lubricant is applied to the fly line 18, the V-shaped groove 14 of the sponge 12 is impregnated with the lubricant in this state. A silicon-based lubricant is used as the lubricant. In this state, the fly line 18 drawn from the reel 21 is sandwiched in the V-shaped groove 14. Subsequently, the remaining portion of the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 is wound with the sponge 12 being crushed while the fly line 18 is sandwiched, and the engagement pieces at the end portions of the hook-and-loop fastener band 11 are engaged, as shown in FIG. Fix it.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the fly line cleaning tool 10 is fixed to the fly rod 17 with the fly line 18 sandwiched between the V-shaped grooves 14 of the sponge 12 as described above. In this state, the reel 21 is rotated to wind up the fly line 18. The fly line 18 is wound up through the V-shaped groove 14 impregnated with the lubricant, and receives the lubricant when passing through the V-shaped groove 14. Also, dirt on the surface during passage is removed.

  Since the fly line cleaning tool 10 is fixed to the fly rod 17 by the engaging piece, the handle portion of the fly rod 17 is held with one hand, and the reel 21 is rotated with the other hand to wind the fly line 18. It is possible to simultaneously remove the dirt on the surface of the fly line 18 and apply the lubricant. Such a method for removing dirt and applying lubricant is easier than the method using the conventional tool shown in FIG. 6, and has an advantage that it can be performed in the field because it can be performed in a short time.
