Description

The present invention relates to a reel seat on which a fishing reel is attached.

Conventionally, fishing rods to which various fishing reels are attached have been provided with a reel seat on the base end side. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the reel seat includes a fixed hood into which one end of a reel leg is fitted, and a floating hood into which the other end of the reel leg is fitted. The movable hood is configured to move toward and away from the fixed hood by rotating a nut member, so that a fishing reel can be attached to and removed from the fixed hood.

Generally, the end of the nut member and the end of the floating hood are integrated by an engagement structure, and when the nut member is rotated, the floating hood does not rotate together with the nut member. It is configured to move in the axial direction. The end of the nut member bulges in the radial direction, and an annular recess is formed on the inner surface thereof. Further, an annular convex portion that fits into an annular concave portion of the nut member is formed at an end of the floating hood, and when the annular concave portion and the annular convex portion fit together, the nut The member and the floating hood are configured to be able to move together in the axial direction.

In this case, an engaging part (a recess or a convex part, etc.) extending in the axial direction is formed on the inner surface of the floating hood, and this engaging part engages with a rotation regulating part formed on the seat body. This allows the floating hood to move in the axial direction without being rotated by the nut member.

JP2020-89310

As shown in FIGS. 7(a) to 7(c), the conventional nut member and floating hood engagement structure 100 includes a bulge 112 at the end of the nut member 110, which has an annular recess 111 formed on the inner surface. An annular protrusion 121 formed on the outer surface of the end of the floating hood 120 is fitted into the annular recess 111. Therefore, the bulging portion 112 ends up having an exposed region having a certain length in the axial direction.

These exposed areas are easy to see, so if you try to paint them to improve their appearance, you will need to mask off areas other than the exposed areas, which increases the number of turns and increases the possibility of processing defects. There is. In addition, when painting the floating hood side, since the annular convex part is exposed, it is necessary to mask this part as well, and as with the floating hood side, the number of turns increases and processing defects are likely to occur. may occur.

Furthermore, since the nut member has a bulge, the diameter of the end portion of the floating hood increases, and gripping comfort is impaired when the reel seat is gripped and held together with the fishing reel. In particular, with a spinning reel, the user must cover the floating hood portion with his or her fingers, so if the diameter of that portion is large, the grip becomes uncomfortable.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and provides a reel seat that can simplify the machining process of the engagement part between the nut member and the floating hood, and has a comfortable grip on the floating hood part. The purpose is to

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a floating hood, a nut member for moving the floating hood in the axial direction, and a structure in which both the floating hood and the nut member are movable in the axial direction. In the reel seat, the engagement structure includes an annular recess formed on the outer surface of the nut member on the end side and an inner surface of the floating hood on the end side. an annular convex portion that fits into the annular concave portion; and an annular convex portion of the nut member and an annular convex portion of the floating hood that are formed adjacent to the annular concave portion formed in the nut member; and an annular flange against which the opening edge of the floating hood comes into contact when the floating hood is fitted.

The reel seat described above maintains the engagement relationship between the nut member and the floating hood by an annular recess formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member and an inner surface of the floating hood on the end side. This is done using an annular convex portion, and when the annular concave portion and the annular convex portion are fitted together, the opening edge of the floating hood comes into contact with the annular flange. As a result, the annular protrusion is not exposed on the outer surface of the movable hood, so there is no need to perform a masking process to cover the annular protrusion when painting the movable hood.

In addition, since the opening edge of the floating hood is brought into contact with the annular flange on the nut member side, there is no need to form a long bulge in the axial direction as in the past, and painting and masking treatments on the nut member side are unnecessary. It is possible to omit it. Further, in the above-described configuration, the engagement area between the floating hood and the nut member is not elongated in the axial direction and does not swell greatly in the radial direction, so that grip comfort does not deteriorate.
Note that the state of contact between the annular flange and the opening edge of the floating hood includes a state in which there is some clearance between the two. For example, when the nut member and the floating hood are pulled in opposite directions, a clearance is created between them, and when the nut member and the floating hood are pressed in the direction of pressing against each other, the clearance between them disappears and the abutting state occurs. It may be. Regarding this clearance, if it is too large, functional problems such as deterioration in appearance and backlash may occur, so it is preferable to set it to 0.3 mm or less.

In the engagement structure of the floating hood and the nut member described above, an annular recess is formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member, and an annular recess that fits into the annular recess is formed on the inner surface of the end side of the floating hood. However, an annular convex portion is formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member, and an annular concave portion that fits into the annular convex portion is formed on the inner surface of the end side of the floating hood. It may be a formed configuration.

According to the present invention, it is possible to simplify the machining process of the engaging portion between the nut member and the floating hood, and to obtain a reel seat in which the floating hood portion is comfortable to grip, and a fishing rod having such a reel seat. It will be done.

FIG.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the reel sheet according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 5 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of a reel seat according to the present invention. In the following embodiments, the nut member and the floating hood move together in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) X.

The reel seat 1 according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical reel seat main body 2 (hereinafter referred to as the main body) that is fitted into a rod rod 80 of a fishing rod, and the following structural members are included in the main body 2. It is provided. The main body 2 can be made of, for example, synthetic resin, metal, or the like.

The main body 2 includes a reel leg mounting surface 3, which is a flat surface on which a reel leg 90 of a fishing reel is mounted, and openings 5a and 6a disposed opposite to each other in the front and rear thereof to receive the reel leg 90. A pair of hoods 5 and 6 are provided. At least one of the pair of hoods is configured to be movable (in this embodiment, the hood 5 is a floating hood; hereinafter referred to as the floating hood 5), and the floating hood 5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main body 2. It is integrated via an engagement structure 10 with a nut member 7 whose inner peripheral surface has a female threaded portion 7a that is screwed into a male threaded portion 2a formed on the surface.

When the nut member 7 is rotated, the engagement structure 10 moves the floating hood 5 integrally along the axial direction Has a function. Further, there is a space between the main body 2 and the floating hood 5 to prevent the floating hood 5 from rotating when the nut member 7 is rotated to move the floating hood 5 along the axial direction X. It has a regulatory mechanism. That is, by rotating the nut member 7, the floating hood 5 approaches or moves away from the hood 6 without rotating, and the reel leg 90 of the fishing reel can be tightened and fixed, or removed. It becomes.

As is well known, the entrainment rotation regulating mechanism includes, for example, guide portions (not shown) for guiding the movement of the floating hood 5 on both left and right sides of the main body 2 within a predetermined range (the floating hood 5 (corresponding to the moving length of the floating hood 5), and an engaging portion 5b integrally formed on the inner surface of the floating hood 5 is engaged with this guide portion. Thereby, when the nut member 7 is rotated, the floating hood 5 is moved along the axial direction X without rotating relative to the main body 2.

Next, the configuration of the above-mentioned engagement structure 10 will be explained.
The engagement structure 10 engages the floating hood 5 and the nut member 7 so that they can move together in the axial direction.

The engagement structure 10 of this embodiment is formed in an annular recess 11 formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member 7 and on an inner surface of the end side of the floating hood 5. A fitting annular convex portion 16 and an annular convex portion 16 of the floating hood 5 formed adjacent to the annular concave portion 11 formed in the nut member 7. It has an annular flange 14 against which the opening edge 5A of the floating hood 5 comes into contact when the movable hood 5 is fitted (see FIG. 5).

The annular concave portion 11 and the annular convex portion 16 are fitted together by aligning the opening edges 7A and 5A of the nut member 7 and the floating hood 5, and fitting them together along the axial direction X. Ru. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an inclined surface 11a whose diameter gradually increases in the axial direction toward the annular recess 11 may be formed on the opening edge 7A of the nut member 7. preferable. Further, the opening edge 5A of the floating hood 5 has an inclined surface 16a whose diameter gradually increases toward the opening side of the annular protrusion 16 so that the annular protrusion 16 can easily fit into the annular recess 11. It is preferable to form.

In this way, by forming the inclined surfaces 11a and 16a at the opening edges 7A and 5A of the nut member 7 and the floating hood 5, it is easy to fit the nut member 7 and the floating hood 5 in the axial direction and integrate them. can do.

Since the annular flange 14 formed on the outer surface of the nut member 7 is the part against which the opening edge 5A of the fitted floating hood 5 comes into contact, its height H (see FIG. 3) is the same as that of the floating hood 5. It is sufficient to ensure the thickness of the opening edge 5A. In addition, its axial length (thickness) L (see Fig. 3) can be shortened as long as it functions as a stopper against which the opening edge 5A of the floating hood 5 comes into contact. becomes.

Specifically, the height H of the flange 14 is preferably formed to be 2.0 mm or less, and more preferably 1.5 mm or less so as not to cause discomfort when gripping the reel seat. It is preferable.

Furthermore, regarding the wall thickness L in the axial direction of the flange 14, when an external appearance part 20 (see FIG. 1) such as a ring is bonded and fixed to the outer surface 7d of the nut member 7, the appearance thereof will not be affected ( It is preferably formed to a thickness of 1.5 mm or less so that there is no need to apply a separate coating, etc. Furthermore, it is preferably formed to a thickness of 1 mm or less so that it can be visually recognized as a part of the pattern, for example, an edge. preferable.

According to the reel seat 1 described above, it is not necessary to form a bulge portion with an engagement structure on the inner surface in the nut member as in the conventional case, so the exposed area is reduced and the engagement between the nut member and the floating hood is reduced. The machining process for the joint part can be simplified. Specifically, the painting process can be simplified, such as by eliminating the painting process for the nut member 7 and the masking process when painting the floating hood 5. Further, when painting the floating hood 5 side, the engagement structure is not exposed, so a masking process or the like is not necessary. That is, the number of machining steps does not increase as a whole, and the possibility of machining defects is reduced.

Furthermore, since the nut member 7 is not formed with an axially long bulging portion that bulges in the radial direction, the diameter of the end portion of the floating hood 5 does not become large. Therefore, when the reel seat 1 is gripped and held together with a fishing reel, grip comfort is not impaired.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 5d of the floating hood 5, which the opening edge 5A abuts, are flush with each other.

By forming the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 5d of the floating hood 5 on which the opening edge 5A is flush in this way, there is no step at the boundary between the two, and the appearance is improved. , a decrease in grip comfort is suppressed. Furthermore, by designing the appearance component 20 to be flush with or integrated with the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14, the appearance can be improved and a decrease in grip comfort can be suppressed.

Further, it is preferable to form an inclined surface 7e (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 2) between the outer surface 14a of the annular flange 14 and the outer surface 7d of the nut member 7.
By forming such an inclined surface, there is no difference in level in the annular flange 14, which improves the appearance and suppresses a decrease in grip comfort.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the reel seat, in which (a) is a longitudinal sectional view of the nut member, (b) is a longitudinal sectional view of the floating hood, and (c) is a longitudinal sectional view of the nut member. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a state in which the floating hood is integrated. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

This embodiment has a configuration opposite to that of the engagement structure 10 of the first embodiment described above. That is, the engagement structure 10A of this embodiment has an annular convex portion 11A formed on the outer surface of the end side of the nut member 7, and a ring-shaped convex portion 11A formed on the inner surface of the end side of the floating hood 5. It has a configuration in which a matching annular recess 16A is formed. Further, when the annular convex portion 11A of the nut member 7 and the annular concave portion 16A of the floating hood 5 are fitted adjacent to the annular convex portion 11A (FIG. 6(c) ), an annular flange 14 is formed against which the opening edge 5A of the floating hood 5 abuts.

Even with such an engagement structure 10A, it is possible to obtain the same effects as the engagement structure 10 of the first embodiment. Also in this embodiment, the height and axial thickness of the annular flange 14 can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the reel seat according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified and implemented as appropriate.
The floating hood 5 described above may be disposed on the tip side of the fishing rod, or may be disposed on the bottom side of the fishing rod. Furthermore, the constituent materials and forms of the main body 2, floating hood 5, and nut member 7 can be modified as appropriate.
