Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、振出形式で連結される複数の竿体を有する釣竿に関する。詳しくは、特定の竿体同士を収納状態及び延伸状態の何れにおいても相互に連結固定可能とし、竿全体の長さを変化させて釣りを行えるように工夫した釣竿に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の振出形式の釣竿は、複数の筒状の竿体が穂先側の竿体から順次竿元側の竿体内に挿入可能になっている。釣りを行う際には各竿体を順次穂先側に引き出して嵌合固定して一本の竿体として用いる。一方、収納時には穂先側の竿体を順次竿元側の竿体内に収納してコンパクトな状態とする。
【０００３】
また、従来の振出形式の釣竿には竿全体の長さを変化させて釣りを行えるように工夫したものがある。このように工夫された釣竿は、例えば、穂先側端部内周面に嵌合雌部を有する元竿と、竿元側端部外周面に第１嵌合雄部を有しつつ長手方向中央付近の外周面に第２嵌合雄部を有する元上竿とを備える。
そして、この種の釣竿では、元竿の穂先側に連結される元上竿が穂先側に引き出された状態（以下「延伸状態」という）では、嵌合雌部を第１嵌合雄部と嵌着させ、元上竿が元竿内に挿入された状態（以下「収納状態」という）では、嵌合雌部を第２嵌合雄部と嵌着させることが可能となっている。
【０００４】
こうして、元竿と元上竿とは「延伸状態」，「収納状態」のいずれの状態においても互いに嵌合固定可能であり、状況に応じて竿全体の長さを変化させて釣りを行える。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような従来の竿全体の長さを変化させて釣りを行うことができる釣竿では、小径竿体と大径竿体とを軸方向で十分に固定させる嵌合部分を有しており、軸方向での位置決め乃至相互の固定については特に問題はない。しかし、竿体相互の周方向の位置決めに関して問題が生じる。
【０００６】
即ち、複数の竿体を連結してなる釣竿にあっては、各竿体の周面にリールからの釣糸を案内する為の釣糸ガイドが装着されており、個々の釣糸ガイドの周方向位置を合致させる必要がある。このため、各竿体の周方向の位置関係においても整合性を保つ必要がある。従来は、釣人が目視等によって個々の竿体の周方向の位置を調整してきた。
【０００７】
しかし、釣りを行っている最中でも元竿と元上竿とを出し入れして竿全体の長さを調整する場合もある上述のようなタイプの釣竿では、その竿全体の長さの調整作業を行う際に円滑に竿体同士の周方向の位置関係を調整する必要がある。
本発明の課題は、釣竿全体の長さを調整しつつ、円滑に周方向の竿体同士の位置関係も調整可能な釣竿を提供することにある。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
発明１の釣竿は、振出形式で複数の竿体を連結してなる釣竿であって、穂先側端部内周面に嵌合雌部を有する大径竿体と、前記大径竿体の穂先側に振出形式で連結され、前記嵌合雌部に嵌着可能な竿元側端部外周面に形成された第１嵌合雄部及び穂先側の外周面に形成された第２嵌合雄部を有する小径竿体と、前記大径竿体の穂先端部に穂先側に張り出すように装着された、周方向の一部が軸方向に凹入し若しくは凸出している第１リング部材と、前記小径竿体の第２嵌合雄部の穂先側に隣接する周面に装着された、前記第１リング部材に合致するように周方向の一部が軸方向に凹入し若しくは凸出した第２リング部材とを備え、前記大径竿体の第１リング部材に、その頭端にガイドリング有する第１釣糸ガイドが固定され、前記小径竿体の第２リング部材に、その頭端にガイドリング有する第２釣糸ガイドが固定され、前記第１釣糸ガイドは、その頭端において軸方向竿元側に部分的に湾曲した湾曲部分を有しており、前記第２釣糸ガイドは、その頭端側が軸方向竿元側に湾曲し、ガイドリングがはめ込まれたその頭端部分が、小径竿体を大径竿体内に挿入した収納状態においては前記第１釣糸ガイドの湾曲部分に収納されるように配置されている。
【０００９】
この釣竿では、小径竿体を大径竿体の穂先側に引き出した延伸状態においては、小径竿体の第１嵌合雄部を大径竿体の嵌合雌部に嵌合させて固定する。一方、小径竿体を大径竿体内に挿入した収納状態においては、小径竿体の第２嵌合雄部を大径竿体内の嵌合雌部に嵌合させて固定する。このように延伸状態と収納状態との何れにおいても相互に竿体同士を固定可能であり、何れの状態においても釣りを行うことができるようになっている。
【００１１】
そして、収納状態において大径竿体の嵌合雌部が小径竿体の第２嵌合雄部に嵌合する際に、第１リング部材の凹凸と第２リング部材とが合致し、大径竿体と小径竿体との周方向の位置が決定される。
さらに、第１釣糸ガイドは、その頭端において軸方向竿元側に部分的に湾曲した湾曲部分を有しており、第２釣糸ガイドは、その頭端側が軸方向竿元側に湾曲し、ガイドリングがはめ込まれたその頭端部分が、小径竿体を大径竿体内に挿入した収納状態においては第１釣糸ガイドの湾曲部分に収納されるように配置されているので、第１釣糸ガイドと第２釣糸ガイドとが合致して恰も１つの釣糸ガイドのように作用する。しかも、小径竿体と大径竿体との嵌合を解除するために相互に周方向に竿体をねじる作用は阻害されない。
【００１２】
発明２の釣竿は、釣糸ガイドの部分が、第１釣糸ガイドと第２釣糸ガイドとは、それらの頭端側が相互に軸方向に歩み寄るように湾曲し、小径竿体の収納状態において相互のガイドリングが隣接して１つの釣糸ガイドとして作用するように配置されている。この場合にも、小径竿体と大径竿体との嵌合を解除するために相互に周方向に竿体をねじる作用は阻害されない。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
［第１実施形態］
以下、本発明の第１実施形態について図面を参照しつつ説明する。
本発明の第１実施形態を採用した釣竿は、図１に示すように、元竿１と、元竿１の穂先側に順次振出形式で連結される、元上竿２，第１中竿３，第２中竿４及び穂先竿５とを有している。これら元竿１〜穂先竿５は炭素繊維またはガラス繊維等に合成樹脂を含浸させたプリプレグから形成される先細り筒状部材であって、第１中竿２〜穂先竿５は穂先側から順次竿元側の竿体の内部に挿入され出し入れ自在である。なお、竿体の数は任意に設定するものであり、５本に限定されるものではない。
【００１４】
元竿１は、外周面に形成されリール（図示せず）を脱着自在に装着可能なリールシート６を有し、竿元側端部には尻栓７が脱着自在に装着され、穂先側端部には第１リング１０が装着されている。このリールシート６は別途合成樹脂等で形成されたパイプ状の部材を所定の位置に配置して固定して形成されている。元竿１の竿元側端部内周面には雌ねじ部材が配置され、ここに尻栓７が脱着自在に螺合している。また、元竿１の穂先側端部内周面は他の部分に比べてやや小径に設定されて嵌合雌部となっており、その穂先側端部外周面には第１リング１０が接着剤等で固定されている。この第１リング１０は、例えば、金属若しくは硬質合成樹脂からなる。
【００１５】
図２及び図３に詳しく示すように、元竿１の穂先側端縁には周方向に１８０度変位する位置に１対の凹部がある。この凹部は竿元側方向に凹入する部分であり、滑らかなＲ型に凹入している。そして、第１リング１０はこの元竿１の穂先側端縁の形状にあわせた凹部を有し、元竿１の穂先側端縁を保護している。
元上竿２は、元竿１の穂先側に連結された竿体であり、軸方向中央付近よりやや穂先側に位置する外周面にはガイドリング８が固定されている。この元上竿２は竿元側端部外周面に第１嵌合雄部を（図示せず）、ガイドリング８の竿元側の外周面に第２嵌合雄部２ａを有し、それぞれの嵌合雄部を元竿１の穂先側端部内周面の嵌合雌部と嵌着させて、収納状態と延伸状態とに於いて相互に固定可能となっている。なお、特に図示しないが、元竿１の尻栓７に隣接する元竿１の内部にストッパーリングを配置し、収納状態においてはこのストッパーリングで元上竿２の竿元側端部を固定するようにしてもよい。
【００１６】
図２及び図３に詳しく示すように、第２嵌合雄部２ａの穂先側に隣接する周面には第２リング１１が固定されている。この第２リング１１も第１リングと同様に金属若しくは硬質合成樹脂からなり元上竿２の所定の周面に接着剤等で固定されている。そして、第２リング１１は周方向に１８０度変位する位置に１対の凸部がある。この凸部は竿元側方向に凸出する部分であり、滑らかなＲ型に凸出している。その形状は上述の第１リング１０に合致するように設定されている。
【００１７】
その他の第１中竿３〜穂先竿５は、それぞれ順次元上竿２の穂先側に連結される。各竿体の竿元側端部や穂先側端部外周面は相互に嵌合固定可能な嵌合部分として加工されている。また、各竿体の周面には、それぞれの竿体の穂先側端部外周面に固定ガイドが装着されると共に複数のスライドガイドが配置されている。このスライドガイドは周知のものであり、各竿体周面を軸方向に滑動自在に配置され、所定の軸方向位置において竿体の外径と合致して固定可能となっている。
【００１８】
このような釣竿では、釣りを終えた際には、スライドガイドを穂先側にスライド移動させた上で、各竿体を順次竿元側の竿体の内部に振出形式で収納してコンパクトな状態になる。一方、釣りを行う際には、順次穂先側の竿体を引き出して相互に竿体を連結し、スライドガイドもスライド移動させて固定し、一本の釣竿をして用いることになる。特に、元竿１と元上竿２とにおいては、元上竿２を元竿１の穂先側に引き出した延伸状態と、元上竿２を元竿１内に挿入した収納状態との双方の状態において相互に竿体を固定可能である。そして、釣竿全体の長さを調整しつつ、釣り状況に応じて釣りを行うことが可能となる。
【００１９】
この元竿１と元上竿２との関係において、収納状態においては、図２に示すように、元上竿１の穂先側端部の嵌合雌部と元上竿２の第２嵌合雄部２ａが嵌着する際に、元竿１の穂先側端縁乃至第１リング１０と第２リング１１とがその凹凸を合致するようにして噛み合い、元竿１と元上竿２との周方向の位置を決定する。
【００２０】
一方、延伸状態とする際には、図３に示すように、第１リング１０と第２リング１１とは相互に離れてゆく。ここで、収納状態となっている元竿１と元上竿２との嵌着を解除する際には、一般に竿体同士を周方向にねじる方向に力を加えて嵌着を解除するが、元竿１の穂先側端縁乃至第１リング１０と第２リング１１との凹凸は滑らかなＲ型であり、スムーズに相互の竿体がねじれて竿体同士の嵌着も解除できる。
【００２１】
［第２実施形態］
以下、本発明の第２実施形態について図面を参照しつつ説明する。
この実施形態における釣竿も、第１実施形態と同様の元竿１と元上竿２とを有している。即ち、元竿１の穂先側端部内周面には嵌合雌部が形成されると共に、元上竿２の所定の外周面には第１嵌合雄部と第２嵌合雄部とが形成される。
【００２２】
図４に示すように、元竿１の穂先側端縁には周方向の一部に穂先側に突出する凸部がある。そして、この凸部に合致するように設定された第１リング２０がこの元竿１の穂先側端部の外周面に配置され、元竿１の穂先側端縁を保護している。
元上竿２は、元竿１の穂先側に連結された竿体であり、第２嵌合雄部２ａの穂先側に隣接する周面には釣糸ガイド１５が固定されている。この釣糸ガイド１５は、元上竿２が貫通した状態で元上竿２の周面に固定されるリング状の固定部１６と、固定部１６より起立する本体部１７と、本体部１７の頭端に軸方向にむかって開口するようにはめ込まれたセラミックス等の硬質部材からなるガイドリング１８とを有する。
【００２３】
この固定部１６は第１リング２０と同様に金属若しくは硬質合成樹脂からなり元上竿２の所定の周面に接着剤等で固定されている。そして、固定部１６は周方向の一部に穂先側に凹入する凹部がある。この凹部の形状は上述の第１リング２０の凸部に合致するように設定されている。
なお、その他の竿体等については上記第１実施形態と同様である。
【００２４】
このような構造の釣竿においても、第１実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏することになる。即ち、元上竿２と元竿１との関係において、収納状態においては、元竿１の穂先側端縁乃至第１リング２０の凸部と釣糸ガイド１５の固定部１６の凹部とが合致して、元竿１と元上竿２との周方向の位置を決定する。
【００２５】
［第３実施形態］
以下、さらに別の変形例について図面を参照しつつ説明する。
この実施形態における釣竿も、第１実施形態と同様の元竿１と元上竿２とを有している。
この元竿１の穂先側端縁は上記実施形態と異なり凹凸部分がない。その代わりに、図５に示すように、周方向に１８０度変位する位置に竿元側方向に凹入する凹部３０ａが形成された第１リング３０が元竿１の穂先側端部に装着されている。この第１リングは元竿１に接着剤等で固定してもよいが脱着自在としてもよい。
【００２６】
一方、元上竿２の第２嵌合雄部２ａの穂先側に隣接する周面には、第２リング３１が固定されている。この第２リング３１は上述の第１リング３０の凹部３０ａに合致するように竿元側に突出する凸部を有している。
なお、その他の竿体等については上記第１実施形態と同様である。
このような構造の釣竿においても、第１実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏することになる。即ち、元上竿２と元竿１との関係において、収納状態においては、元竿１の穂先側端部に装着された第１リング３０の凹部と第２リング３１の凸部とが合致して、元竿１と元上竿２との周方向の位置を決定する。そして、この釣竿では、元竿１自体の穂先側端縁を変形加工する必要がない。
【００２７】
［第４実施形態］
以下、第４実施形態について説明する。
この実施形態における釣竿も、第１実施形態と同様の元竿１と元上竿２とを有している。即ち、元竿１の穂先側端部内周面には嵌合雌部が形成されると共に、元上竿２の所定の外周面には第１嵌合雄部と第２嵌合雄部２ａとが形成される。
【００２８】
図６に示すように、元竿１の穂先側端縁は周方向の一部が穂先側に斜めに突出している（元竿１自体の穂先側端部が斜めに切断されている）。そして、この斜めの突出部分に合致するように設定された第１リング４０がこの元竿１の穂先側端部の外周面に配置され、元竿１の穂先側端縁を保護している。
また、この第１リング４０には第１釣糸ガイド１００が固定されている。この第１釣糸ガイド１００は、第１リング４０の周面に固定され起立している本体部１０１と、本体部１０１の頭端に軸方向にむかって開口するようにはめ込まれたセラミックス等の硬質部材からなるガイドリング１０２とを有する。本体部１０１は頭端側において、左右方向視にあって竿元側に部分的に湾曲しており、この湾曲した部分にガイドリング１０２がその形状に合致してはめ込まれている。
【００２９】
一方、元上竿２は、元竿１の穂先側に連結された竿体であり、第２嵌合雄部２ａの穂先側に隣接する周面には第２リング４１が固定されている。この第２リング４１は上述の第１リング４０の斜めの突出に合致するように逆方向に斜めに突出している。例えば、１つのパイプ状の部材を軸方向中央付近で軸方向に斜めに切断して、第１リング４０と第２リング４１とを形成することができる。
【００３０】
また、この第２リング４１には第２釣糸ガイド２００が固定されている。この第２釣糸ガイド２００は、第２リング４１の周面に固定され起立している本体部２０１と、本体部２０１の頭端に軸方向にむかって開口するようにはめ込まれたセラミックス等の硬質部材からなるガイドリング２０２とを有する。この本体部２０１は頭端側にかけて竿元側に湾曲している。そして、図７に示すように、元竿１と元上竿２との収納状態において、ガイドリング２０２がはめ込まれたその頭端部分が上記第１釣糸ガイド１００の本体部１０１及びガイドリング１０２の頭端側の湾曲部分に収納されるようになっている。
【００３１】
なお、その他の竿体等については上記第１実施形態と同様である。
このような構造の釣竿においても、第１実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏することになる。即ち、元上竿２と元竿１との関係において、収納状態においては、元竿１の穂先側端縁乃至第１リング４０と元上竿２の第２リング４１とが合致して、元竿１と元上竿２との周方向の位置を決定する。
【００３２】
さらに、この釣竿では、このような釣竿全体の長さを調整して釣りを行い得る釣竿で問題となる釣糸ガイドの軸方向長さの変化にも対応可能である。即ち、元竿１と元上竿２との延伸状態においては、第１リング４０と第２リング４１とが別個の釣糸ガイドとしてそれぞれの軸方向位置において、リールからの釣糸を案内する（図６参照）。一方、収納状態においては、元竿１の第１釣糸ガイド１００と第２釣糸ガイド２００とが合致して恰も１つの釣糸ガイドのように作用する（図７参照）。
【００３３】
なお、この収納されたガイドリング２０２付近は第１釣糸ガイド１００の本体部１０１の湾曲により、周方向に容易に逃げ得るのであって、元竿１と元上竿２との嵌合を解除するために相互に周方向に竿体をねじる作業は阻害されない。また、第１釣糸ガイド１００と第２釣糸ガイド２００とを合致させるための周方向の位置決めは上記第１リング４０と第２リング４１によってスムーズに行われる。
こうして、元上竿２と元竿１との延伸状態・収納状態の何れに於いても、適度な軸方向間隔で釣糸ガイドが存在することになり、釣糸のリールからの出し入れが円滑になる。
【００３４】
［他の実施形態］
（ａ）上記第１実施形態及び第２実施形態においては、元竿１の穂先側端部に保護用のリングを装着しているが、必ずしもこれを装着する必要はない。
（ｂ）合致する凹凸の形状は上記実施形態のような形状に限定されるものではなく、その他、Ｖ字型等任意に設定可能である。
（ｃ）上記実施形態では、元上竿２自体ではなくその周面にリング部材を装着して元竿１の穂先側端縁と噛み合わせているが、元上竿２の所定の周面に元上竿２を形成する素材で肉盛をして、元上竿２自体の一部を元竿１に噛み合わせてもよい。
（ｄ）上記第４実施形態のように、二つの釣糸ガイドを収納状態において組み合わせて１つの釣糸ガイドのように用いる場合の変形例をさらに図８に示しておく。
【００３５】
この釣竿では、元竿１の穂先側端部には穂先側周縁の周方向の一部が竿元側に凹入している第１リング５０が装着されている。一方、元上竿２の第２嵌合雄部の穂先側の周面には、上記第１リング５０の凹部に合致する凸部を有する第２リング５１が装着されている。また、第１リング５０及び第２リング５１には第１釣糸ガイド１１０と第２釣糸ガイド２１０がそれぞれ装着されている。
【００３６】
この第１釣糸ガイド１１０と第２釣糸ガイド２１０とは相互に頭端側が軸方向に歩み寄るように湾曲しており、収納状態においては相互のガイドリングが隣接して、恰も１つの釣糸ガイドとして作用するように位置する。
【００３７】
【発明の効果】
本発明の釣竿では、釣竿全体の長さを調整しつつ且つ竿体の周方向の位置も円滑に調整可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing rod having a plurality of rods connected in a swinging manner. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing rod designed to allow specific rod bodies to be connected and fixed to each other in both the housed state and the extended state, and to change the length of the entire rod so that fishing can be performed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional fishing rod, a plurality of cylindrical rods can be sequentially inserted from the tip-side rod into the rod-side rod. When fishing, each chassis is pulled out to the tip side sequentially and fitted and fixed to be used as a single chassis. On the other hand, at the time of storage, the body on the tip side is sequentially stored in the body on the base side to make it compact.
[0003]
In addition, some conventional fishing rods have been devised so that fishing can be performed by changing the overall length of the rod. The fishing rod devised in this way is, for example, a main rod having a fitting female portion on the inner peripheral surface of the tip side, and a vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction while having the first fitting male portion on the outer peripheral surface of the hook side And an upper collar having a second fitting male part on the outer peripheral surface.
In this type of fishing rod, when the former rod connected to the tip side of the former rod is pulled out to the tip side (hereinafter referred to as “stretched state”), the fitting female portion is referred to as the first fitting male portion. In a state in which the fitting upper part is inserted and the former upper part is inserted into the former part (hereinafter referred to as “storage state”), the fitting female part can be fitted to the second fitting male part.
[0004]
Thus, the main rod and the upper rod can be fitted and fixed to each other in both the “extended state” and the “stored state”, and fishing can be performed by changing the length of the entire rod according to the situation.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Such a fishing rod that can be changed by changing the overall length of the rod has a fitting portion that sufficiently fixes the small-diameter rod and the large-diameter rod in the axial direction. There is no particular problem with the positioning in the direction or the mutual fixing. However, problems arise with respect to the circumferential positioning of the enclosures.
[0006]
That is, in a fishing rod formed by connecting a plurality of rods, a fishing line guide for guiding the fishing line from the reel is mounted on the circumferential surface of each rod, and the circumferential position of each fishing line guide is determined. Must match. For this reason, it is necessary to maintain consistency in the circumferential positional relationship of each housing. Conventionally, the angler has adjusted the circumferential position of each individual frame by visual observation or the like.
[0007]
However, in the case of fishing rods of the type described above, the length of the entire rod may be adjusted by taking in and out of the original rod and the upper rod even during fishing. When performing, it is necessary to adjust the circumferential positional relationship between the casings smoothly.
The subject of this invention is providing the fishing rod which can adjust the positional relationship of the circumferential frame bodies smoothly, adjusting the length of the whole fishing rod.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The fishing rod according to the first aspect of the present invention is a fishing rod formed by connecting a plurality of rods in a swing-out manner, and a large-diameter rod having a fitting female portion on the inner peripheral surface of the tip end side, and the tip side of the large-diameter rod The first fitting male part formed on the outer peripheral surface of the heel-side end that can be fitted to the fitting female part and the second fitting male part formed on the outer peripheral surface on the tip side And a first ring member that is attached so as to protrude toward the tip of the ear of the large- diameter rod, and a part of the circumferential direction is recessed or protruded in the axial direction. A part of the circumferential direction is axially recessed or protruded so as to match the first ring member mounted on the peripheral surface adjacent to the tip side of the second fitting male part of the small-diameter housing. A first fishing line guide having a guide ring at the head end of the first ring member of the large-diameter frame, A second fishing line guide having a guide ring at its head end is fixed to the two-ring member, and the first fishing line guide has a curved portion that is partially curved toward the axial base at the head end, The second fishing line guide has its head end curved in the axial direction, and the head end portion into which the guide ring is inserted is in the first state when the small diameter rod is inserted into the large diameter rod. It arrange | positions so that it may accommodate in the curved part of a fishing line guide.
[0009]
In this fishing rod, in the extended state in which the small-diameter rod is pulled out toward the tip of the large-diameter rod, the first fitting male portion of the small-diameter rod is fitted and fixed to the fitting female portion of the large-diameter rod. . On the other hand, in the storage state in which the small-diameter casing is inserted into the large-diameter casing, the second fitting male part of the small-diameter casing is fitted and fixed to the fitting female part in the large-diameter casing. Thus, the rods can be fixed to each other both in the stretched state and in the housed state, and fishing can be performed in any state.
[0011]
When the fitting female portion of the large-diameter housing is fitted to the second fitting male portion of the small-diameter housing in the housed state, the unevenness of the first ring member and the second ring member match, and the large diameter The circumferential positions of the housing and the small-diameter housing are determined.
Furthermore, the first fishing line guide has a curved portion that is partially curved toward the axial heel side at the head end, and the second fishing line guide is curved toward the axial heel side at the head end side, Since the head end portion into which the guide ring is fitted is disposed so as to be stored in the curved portion of the first fishing line guide in the storage state in which the small diameter rod is inserted into the large diameter rod, the first fishing line guide And the second fishing line guide coincide with each other and the rod acts like one fishing line guide. Moreover, the action of twisting the casings in the circumferential direction in order to release the fitting between the small-diameter casing and the large-diameter casing is not hindered .
[0012]
In the fishing rod of the invention 2, the portion of the fishing line guide is curved so that the first fishing line guide and the second fishing line guide have their head end sides approaching each other in the axial direction, and the mutual guides are accommodated in the storage state of the small-diameter frame. The rings are arranged adjacent to act as one fishing line guide. Also in this case, the action of twisting the casings in the circumferential direction in order to release the fitting between the small-diameter casing and the large-diameter casing is not hindered.
[0013]
