DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the fishing tackle of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0008]
The fishing equipment to which the technical idea of the present invention can be applied includes, for example, a fishing line guide for guiding the fishing line along the fishing rod, and a level for guiding the fishing line to the reel at the time of feeding and winding of the fishing line. For example, a fishing line guide of a wind mechanism.
[0009]
In this embodiment, as an example, a fishing line guide for guiding a fishing line along a fishing rod will be described.
[0010]
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the entire fishing rod.
[0011]
This fishing rod includes a main rod tube 4 on which a gripping grip portion 2 is formed, a first middle rod tube 6 connected to the tip of the main rod tube 4, and a first pin connected to the tip of the first middle rod tube 6. It is comprised from the 2 middle rod tube 8, and the tip rod tube 10 connected with the front-end | tip of the 2nd medium rod tube 8. As shown in FIG.
[0012]
A reel 12 is detachably attached to the gripping and gripping part 2 of the main rod 4, and a plurality of fishing line guides 14 are detachably or movably attached to the rods 4, 6, 8, and 10. It is installed.
[0013]
In such a configuration, the fishing line 16 wound around the reel 12 is guided along the fishing rod by a plurality of fishing line guides 14, and then the fishing line guide (tentatively, the top) It can be extended outward from 14).
[0014]
FIGS. 2A and 2B show the configuration of the fishing line guide 14.
[0015]
The fishing line guide 14 has a guide ring 18 having an inner diameter through which a fishing line 16 (see FIG. 1) can be inserted, a frame body 20 that supports the guide ring 18, and a fishing rod, that is, each rod tube 4, 6. , 8 and 10 are provided.
[0016]
In order to ensure the strength and durability, the guide ring 18 is preferably formed of a material such as alumina or silicon carbide.
[0017]
The frame 20 has a larger size and weight than the guide ring 18, and when the frame 20 is mounted on a fishing rod, that is, each rod tube 4, 6, 8, 10, the entire fishing rod becomes heavy or fish It is necessary to prevent problems such as poor fishing operability. For this reason, the frame body 20 realizes weight reduction of the whole fishing rod and fishing operability of the fishing rod, and at the same time, in order to ensure its strength and durability, for example, a low specific gravity material such as engineering plastic (specifically, It is preferable to use a material having a specific gravity lighter than the material constituting the decorative film described later. In particular, when there is a request to form the frame 20 to be transparent or translucent, a transparent material such as polycarbonate or a translucent material such as nylon or ABS is appropriately selected according to the request. It is preferable.
[0018]
The mounting portion is a mounting hole 22 formed in the frame body 20, and the inner diameter dimension of the mounting hole 22 corresponds to the outer diameter dimension of each tub tube 4, 6, 8, 10 to which the frame body 20 is mounted. Is set. That is, the position where the fishing line guide 14 is attached to the rods 4, 6, 8, and 10 differs depending on the inner diameter of the attachment hole 22 (see FIG. 1). For example, when the inner diameter of the mounting hole 22 is relatively small, the fishing line guide 14 is adapted to be mounted on the tip rod 10 or the second middle rod 8, whereas the inner diameter of the mounting hole 22 is When the size is relatively large, the fishing line guide 14 is attached to the first middle rod pipe 6 or the main rod pipe 4.
[0019]
Since the fishing rod tapers continuously and smoothly from the base end (the main rod tube 4) to the tip (the tip rod tube 10), each rod tube 4, 6, 8, 10 has this tapered shape. Correspondingly, each is tapered. Therefore, when the above-described fishing line guide 14 is moved toward the proximal end of the fishing rod after passing the mounting hole 22 from the tip of the tip rod tube 10, the inner diameter dimension of the mounting hole 22 and the outside of the rod tube are increased. Further movement is temporarily prevented at the locations where the diameters match. At this time, if the fishing line guide 14 is further moved toward the base end of the fishing rod, the mounting hole 22 is pressed against the rod and a predetermined frictional force is generated between the mounting hole 22 and the rod. The guide 14 is stably mounted on the portion of the soot tube having an outer diameter that matches the inner diameter of the mounting hole 22.
[0020]
By performing such an operation on all the fishing line guides 14, each fishing line guide 14 can be mounted at a position as shown in FIG.

[0022]
FIG. 2C shows a state in which the decorative coating 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface 22 a of the mounting hole 22 of the frame body 20.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the inner peripheral surface 22a of the mounting hole 22 of the frame body 20 is used as a detent when the frame body 20 is mounted on each of the tubules 4, 6, 8, and 10. A plurality of uneven portions 26 are formed in the circumferential direction, and a decorative coating 24 is formed so as to cover the surface of the uneven portions 26.
[0024]
In this case, it is preferable that each top portion of the uneven portion 26 is formed in a gently curved shape so that the decorative coating 24 formed on the surface of the uneven portion 26 does not peel off. When each top part of the uneven part 26 is formed in a gently curved shape, the spread angle θ of the uneven part 26 is set to a range of about 30 degrees to 150 degrees, preferably about 30 degrees to 90 degrees. . By comprising in this way, the top part of the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 26 can be made hard to chip.
[0025]
As the decorative coating 24 formed on the inner peripheral surface 22 a of the mounting hole 22, it is preferable to select various types of decorative coating 24 corresponding to the type of material of the frame 20. For example, chromium, titanium and its nitride, carbide, D.I. L. Hard coatings made of materials such as C (diamond-like carbon), chromium, titanium and nitrides and carbides thereof; L. A wear-resistant coating film made of a material such as C, a water-repellent coating film made of a material such as a fluorine-based compound or a silicon-based compound; L. It is preferable to select a lubricating coating made of a material such as C or molybdenum.
[0026]
As a method for forming the decorative coating 24 on the inner peripheral surface 22a of the mounting hole 22, for example, a physical vapor deposition method, a chemical vapor deposition method, a CVD method, an ion plating method, a sputtering method, a wet plating method, or the like is selected. be able to.
[0027]
The thickness of the decorative coating 24 formed on the inner peripheral surface 22a of the mounting hole 22 is not limited to the weight reduction of the frame 20, and the mounting between the mounting hole 22 and each of the tubules 4, 6, 8, 10 is performed. In order to improve the force, it is preferably set to about 3 μm or less, preferably in the range of 1 μm to 0.01 μm. In this case, as described above, particularly when there is a demand for forming the frame 20 to be transparent or translucent, an extremely thin thickness (for example, 0.01 μm) that allows a part of the light to pass through the decorative coating 24. It is preferable to set it to a thickness of ˜0.1 μm.
[0028]
FIG. 3 shows a state in which a decorative coating 28 is formed on the surface of the frame 20.
[0029]
Similarly to the above-described decorative coating 24 (see FIG. 2C), this decorative coating 28 also has various types (hard coating, wear-resistant coating, water-repellent coating) corresponding to the type of material of the frame 20. It is preferable to select a decorative coating 28 such as a lubricating coating. The method for forming the decorative coating 28 and the thickness thereof are the same as in the case of the decorative coating 24 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
[0030]
Further, FIG. 4 shows a decorative coating on the surface of the guide ring 18 (at least the portion where the fishing line 16 (see FIG. 1) contacts, particularly the portion exposed to the outside when the guide ring 18 is fitted in the frame 20). A state in which 30 is formed is shown.
[0031]
As the decorative coating 30 formed on the surface of the guide ring 18, it is preferable to select various types of decorative coating 30 corresponding to the type of material of the guide ring 18. In particular, since the fishing line 16 (see FIG. 1) is in direct contact with the guide ring 18, the decorative coating 30 has a low frictional resistance with the fishing line 16 and can be easily damaged by the fishing line 16. It is preferable to configure with no material. In this case, for example, D.I. L. It is preferable to use materials such as C, SiC, and titanium aluminum. In addition, as long as all the conditions regarding frictional resistance and damage are satisfied, various types of decorative coatings (hard coating, abrasion-resistant coating, water-repellent coating, lubricating coating, etc.) as described above can be selected. good.
[0032]
Further, since a large number of minute concave portions (pinholes) 18a are formed on the surface of the guide ring 18, when the decorative coating 30 is formed on the surface of the guide ring 18, the decorative coating 30 is formed by the large number of concave portions 18a. It is preferable to adjust the thickness of the decorative coating 30 so that the surface does not become rough. Specifically, the thickness of the decorative coating 30 formed on the surface of the guide ring 18 is set to about 1 μm or less, preferably in the range of 0.05 μm to 0.5 μm.
[0033]
By setting the type and thickness of the coating in this manner, the frictional resistance with the fishing line 16 is reduced, and the decorative coating is maintained without a damage by the fishing line 16 and its surface is maintained as a smooth surface. 30 can be formed. Furthermore, since the decorative coating 30 can sufficiently enter into the numerous recesses 18a of the guide ring 18, even if the decorative coating 30 is worn and the surface of the guide ring 18 is exposed, it enters into the numerous recesses 18a. The smoothness of the surface can be maintained by the decorative coating 30 that is exposed.
[0034]
The method for forming the decorative coating 30 is the same as that for the decorative coating 24 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0035]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made as follows.
[0036]
The above-described decorative coatings 24, 28, and 30 are all assumed to be a single-layer coating, but may be a multi-layered decorative coating composed of a base layer and a coating layer, for example.
[0037]
Moreover, although embodiment mentioned above demonstrated the case where a decoration film was formed separately with respect to the surface of the guide ring 18, the inner peripheral surface 22a of the mounting hole 22 of the frame 20, and the surface of the frame 20. The decorative coating may be formed integrally and continuously with the fishing line guide 14. In particular, when the decorative coating is integrally and continuously formed with the guide ring 18 fitted in the frame 20, the decorative coating partially enters between the guide ring 18 and the frame 20, whereby the guide ring 18. a frame body 20 and the supporting force can be improved between the can improve the appearance of increased simultaneously with the guide ring 18 and the frame body 20 and the boundary portion of the surface smoothness of the guide ring 18.
[0038]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, before the guide ring 18 is fitted into the frame body 20, the surface of the frame body 20 (the inner peripheral surface 22 a of the mounting hole 22, the support hole 32 for supporting the guide ring 18). A decorative coating (not shown) may be formed only on the surface of the frame body 20 including the inner peripheral surface 32a, and then the guide ring 18 may be fitted into the support hole 32. The guide ring 18 is not subjected to a film forming process.
[0039]
In this case, as the decorative coating, it is preferable to select a coating that is softer than the guide ring 18 and that has an intermediate hardness between the frame 20 and the guide ring 18.
[0040]
According to the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the guide ring 18 can be firmly fixed to the support hole 32 of the frame body 20. Furthermore, even if the thickness of the decorative coating is increased or a decorative coating having a high hardness is used, the surface where the decorative coating is formed is only on the surface of the frame 20, and therefore the surface of the guide ring 18 (especially the fishing line There is no influence on the fishing line guide performance of the contact surface).
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
