Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod provided with a fishing line guide on the outside of a rod tube.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as in the fishing rod disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-294344, since the rigidity of the fishing rod is generally smaller than that of the fishing rod, the fishing line guide has the same size as the leading guide or the leading guide. Formed smaller.

[0003]

However, the supporting portion of the fishing line guide disclosed in the above publication is not particularly disclosed in terms of the material thereof, and is formed of the same material in the same form (dimensions are different) with reference to the drawings. It is considered that Most of recent fishing rods are made of fiber reinforced resin aiming at light weight and high strength, and the rod tube itself is extremely lightweight. Therefore, the weight of the fishing line guide attached to the rod tube cannot be ignored with respect to the total weight of the fishing rod, and even with the same weight, due to the moment load due to the distance from the attachment position to the hand, the tip of the fishing rod cannot be ignored. The more it is attached to, the more it feels heavy. Since the fishing rod made of fiber reinforced resin is made thin and lightweight, a long rod can be used. With such a long fishing rod, a feeling of weight is greatly different due to a slight difference in weight of a fishing line guide to be attached. However, it is necessary to give priority to securing the necessary strength as a prerequisite for such weight reduction.

Accordingly, the present invention aims to reduce the feeling of weight and to provide a fishing rod that reduces the feeling of weight as much as possible while ensuring the strength of the fishing line guide. Moreover, it aims at cost reduction with reduction of a feeling of weight.

[0005]

In view of the above object, the present invention provides the fishing line guide according to claim 1, which is provided outside the rod tube, wherein the guide fixed to the rod tube uses only metal. And a supporting portion of the floating guide having a rod region formed by using only synthetic resin. Metals such as stainless steel have higher strength and larger specific gravity than synthetic resins.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fishing line guide provided outside the joint type fishing rod, wherein a guide supporting portion provided at a joint portion of a predetermined rod pipe is formed by using only metal. Provided is a fishing rod having an external guide, characterized in that a support portion of a guide provided on a front rod pipe joined to the rod pipe is formed by using only synthetic resin. The fishing line guide according to claim 3, wherein the support portions of all the guides provided in a region ahead of the predetermined position of the fishing rod are more than the support portions of the guides provided in the rear region of the predetermined position. Provided is a fishing rod having an outer guide, which is formed by using only a material having a low specific gravity. In the above guide, the top guide is excluded. Further, the guide is not limited to a guide that encloses the fishing line, but may be a guide that does not have to be a perfect ring as long as it has about half the circumference (a semi-ring).

Since the fixed guide is completely integrated with the rod pipe, a large stress tends to be applied when a load is applied through the fishing line as compared with the floating guide. However, in the first aspect, the fixed guide is used. Since the support portion of is formed using only metal, it has higher strength and durability compared to the floating guide formed using only synthetic resin. Moreover, since the support portion of the floating guide having a small stress is formed by using only synthetic resin, it can contribute to weight reduction as compared with the case where it is formed by using only metal.

In the joint type fishing rod, the rigidity of the joint portion is high, and the rigidity of the front side rod pipe suddenly becomes smaller than that of the joint portion. Therefore,
The joining portion has little bending, and its front portion largely bends, so that a large force is likely to act on the fishing line guide provided at the joining portion. According to the present invention, since the supporting portion of the fishing line guide provided at the joint portion of the rod pipe is formed by using only metal, strength is ensured, and it is provided at the front rod pipe joined to the rod pipe. The support part of the guide is formed using only synthetic resin, but since the action of a small force is smaller than that of the fishing line guide of the joining part, there is little inconvenience in strength, and the specific gravity of the synthetic resin is small. It can be made small and lightweight, reducing the feeling of weight.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the supporting portions of all the guides provided in the fishing rod tip region are formed using only a material having a smaller specific gravity than the supporting portions of the guides provided in the rear region.
The tip of the fishing rod can be made a lightweight rod and the feeling of carrying can be reduced. If a metal such as stainless steel is used as a material having a large specific gravity and a synthetic resin is used as a material having a small specific gravity, and the latter is molded by injection molding, the latter fishing line guide can be manufactured at a lower cost. Aluminum, titanium and their alloys are materials having a smaller specific gravity than stainless steel. Titanium (alloy) is lightweight, rust-resistant and strong.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a swing-out type fishing rod having an external guide according to the present invention. A middle rod 12 is connected to the base rod 10, a head rod 14 is attached to the middle rod, and a tip rod 16 is connected to the head rod 16 in a swing manner. Each of these rod tubes is made of a fiber reinforced resin which has a matrix of synthetic resin such as epoxy resin and is reinforced by reinforcing fibers such as carbon fibers. A reel fixing device 18 for mounting a reel 20 is attached to the original rod 10, and a fishing line 22 drawn out from the fishing rod 10 passes through a fishing line guide provided in each rod tube to pass from a top guide 16G1 at the tip. It has been pulled out.

A fishing line guide 10G1, which is provided on the outer periphery of the joint portion which is the tip of each rod tube 10, 12, 14, 16.
12G1, 14G1, and 16G1 are fixed to each rod tube. Other fishing line guides 12G2, 14G2, 1
4G3, 16G2, 16G3, 16G4 are floating guides. Floating guide 12G2 and fixed guides 10G1, 12
G1, 14G1, and 16G1 are guides 14 in FIG.
G1 is used for the configuration, and the other floating guides are configured for use with the guide 14G2 in FIG.

That is, the former has an annular (short cylindrical) base portion KB made of synthetic resin to be inserted into the rod tube, and uses a metal frame such as stainless steel, which is hard to rust and has high strength, on the outer periphery thereof. The support portion SB is wound and erected, an annular portion is formed in the upper portion, and the ceramic guide ring GR through which the fishing line is inserted is held and fixed by the annular portion. The top guide 16G1 has an inclined support portion, which is somewhat different from the configuration of FIG. In addition, the floating guide 12G2 may be formed with a small ridge-shaped detent on the inner circumference of the annular base portion KB and the outer circumference of the middle rod at a predetermined position so that the fishing line guide does not rotate at the predetermined position of the middle rod 12. Good.

In the latter, the supporting portion SKB, which also serves as the base portion KB and the supporting portion SB, is made of synthetic resin, and holds and fixes the ceramic guide ring GR. The guide ring GR is formed with recesses GRK on both outer peripheral edges, and the synthetic resin that has entered there can be hardened and held so as not to come off the guide ring GR. Since the floating guide can be formed only by injection-molding the support portion SKB so as to cast the guide ring together with the synthetic resin, the cost is reduced.

The support portion SB is made of stainless steel, and the support portion SKB is made of, for example, polyamide, polyimide (PI),
Since it is a synthetic resin such as ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and polycarbonate, the former support portion SB has higher strength and specific gravity. Therefore, the predetermined floating guides can be formed in the same shape (and material) as the fixed guides and at the same height as the predetermined floating guides, and can be formed lighter than the case where the same guide ring GR is used. It has been changed (about 30% as an example). Therefore, compared with the case where all the floating guides are made of the same material as that of the fixed guide, the weights of the spike-holding rod 14 and the tip rod 16 are reduced, and the feeling of carrying is reduced.

As an example, the fishing line guides 10G1 and 12
G2, 12G1, 14G3, 14G2, 14G1, 16
The inner diameter (mm) of the guide ring is 8, 6, 5, 4, 4, in the order of G4, 16G3, 16G2, 16G1.
3, 2, 2, 2, 2. The height (mm) from the surface of the rod pipe to the top of each fishing line guide is 20,
10,8,6,6,5,5,5,5,5;
It is about 5 to 30 mm, and in the case of the fishing line guide 14G1, it is about 3 to 10 mm.

The illustrated embodiment is one embodiment of claims 1 and 2 of the present application, but the support portion of the fixed guide 14G1 is the middle rod 1.
Since the second fixed guide 12G1 and the like are made of stainless steel, they do not fall under claim 3. For example, the guide 14
If the supporting portion and the base portion of G1 are made of synthetic resin as shown in FIG. 3, they correspond to claim 3. In general, a fishing rod has a strong fishing line guide because the middle part (or the base part) of the target fish for the fishing rod is largely bent when a large fish is caught and a large load acts on such a part. Is desired. In this example, all of the middle rod 12 and the original rod 10
The support portion SB of each fishing line guide attached to the joint portion of is made of a sturdy metal such as stainless steel.
