Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing rod, and more particularly to a fishing rod provided with a plurality of fishing line guides.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-256640 describes a fishing rod in which a light storage layer in which fine particle-shaped light storage materials are densely arranged in a three-dimensional manner is formed at appropriate intervals on the outer peripheral portion of the intermediate portion of the tip rod.
The phosphorescent layer in this conventional fishing rod is formed by thickly applying a paint containing a phosphorescent pigment on the outer circumference of the tip tube in order to obtain a light amount and a light emission time necessary for night fishing. In this phosphorescent layer, the fine particle-shaped phosphorescent material arranged in a three-dimensionally dense manner by the paint improves the light emission luminance over a long period of time and improves the visibility during night fishing.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the phosphorescent layer is formed by thick coating of a paint containing a phosphorescent pigment, not only does the cost increase because a separate additional process is required in the production of the spiked tube, but the spiked tube When the weight of the bag increases, the original functions of the bag such as weight and swinging tone are deteriorated. Furthermore, such a thick phosphorescent layer may change the bending rigidity of the tip tube, adversely affecting the deflection curve of the tip tube, and may cause stress concentration.
[0004]
The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an inexpensive fishing rod capable of improving the visibility of a fishing rod at night without impairing the function of the fishing rod.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there are provided a plurality of fishing line guides each having a guide part for guiding a fishing line and a leg part extending from the guide part to the buttock side. A fishing rod attached to the outer peripheral surface of a fiber reinforced plastic rod main body via a portion, and an outer periphery of a fixed layer for fixing a leg portion of at least one fishing line guide located on the tip side to the outer peripheral surface of the rod main body And a light emitting layer containing a phosphorescent pigment, and the light emitting layer has an outer shape that is smoothly reduced in diameter from the maximum outer diameter portion located substantially at the central portion in the axial direction toward both end portions in the axial direction. A fishing rod having a non-circular cross-sectional shape in which a portion corresponding to the leg portion protrudes outward is provided.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 to 6 show a fishing rod 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The fishing rod 10 in the present embodiment is formed, for example, as a side-by-side fishing rod. As shown in FIG. 1, the small-diameter rod 12 that is a tip rod, the middle-diameter tube 14 having a larger diameter than this, and the most A grip portion 18 that has a large diameter main shaft 16 and is held by a fisherman is formed on the bottom end side of the main shaft 16. The fishing rod 10 is formed as a fishing rod suitable for night fishing, such as a rockfish, and a spinning reel is attached to the grip portion 18 as a fishing reel 8 that accommodates a fishing line. Instead of this spinning reel, it is also possible to use a double-axis reel (not shown).
[0008]
The fishing rod 10 of this embodiment is a fiber reinforced prepreg (hereinafter simply referred to as a prepreg) in which a reinforcing fiber such as carbon fiber is impregnated with a synthetic resin such as an epoxy resin. Although it is formed from a hollow rod tube in which a plurality of main body layers are laminated by winding in a direction of deflection inclined at an angle, it is not limited to such a hollow structure, and the fishing rod can be greatly bent. It can also be formed in a solid structure. Of course, in addition to the parallel splicing type, such a spear pipe may adopt other appropriate joining types such as a seal splicing type or a swing-out type in which small-diameter spear pipes are sequentially accommodated in a large-diameter spear pipe. it can.
[0009]
Further, a fishing line guide 20 for preventing the fishing line from adhering to the outer surface of the rod is fixed to the fishing rod 10 at a predetermined interval toward the tip of the fishing rod 10 on the same side as the fishing reel 8. A fishing line guide 22, which is also referred to as a “top guide” below, is fixed to the tip of the tip rod 12.
[0010]
In the present embodiment, the two fishing line guides 20 positioned on the thick buttock side of the groin have a both-leg structure that is fixed to the tub tube via two leg portions that respectively extend to the tip side and the buttock side. . On the other hand, the three fishing line guides 20 positioned on the tip side are formed in a one-leg structure that is fixed to the tub tube through one leg portion that extends to the buttock side, so that the narrow-pointed tip rod 12 can be bent or tuned. It is preferable that the structure has no effect. The number and arrangement position of such fishing line guides 20 are not limited to the illustrated example, and can be arbitrarily set. In particular, when the fishing rod 10 is formed in a swing-out manner, a part or all of the plurality of fishing line guides 20 can be formed so as to be movable on the rod pipe. When the fishing line guide 20 can be moved on the rod pipe, it can be fixed on a predetermined position by sliding on the rod body instead of directly fixing the fishing line guide 20 to the rod body as will be described later. For example, it is preferable to attach to an idler sleeve made of resin or prepreg.
[0011]
Of these fishing line guides 20 and 22, a light emitting part 24 for improving visibility of the fishing rod at night is formed in the vicinity of the fishing line guide located on the tip side. If such a light emission part 24 can improve the visibility of a tip especially in the position separated from the angler, it will be near in one near part among a plurality of fishing line guides 20 and 22 located in the tip side. However, in order to make the bent state of the tip rod 12 visible, it is preferable that the tip rod 12 be provided close to the plurality of fishing line guides 20 and 22 attached to the tip rod 12.
[0012]
2 to 4 show an example in which a light emitting portion 24 is provided in a fishing line guide 20 adjacent to the most advanced top guide 22.
The fishing line guide 20 has a support frame 28 made of metal or resin that supports a guide ring 26 made of, for example, ceramic or metal having a smooth curved inner surface as a guide portion for guiding the fishing line. Legs 30 extend from. As shown in FIG. 3, the leg portion 30 of the present embodiment has a substantially arcuate shape in which the central portion is thick and gradually becomes thinner toward both side edges when viewed in cross section. The guide ring 26 may be formed as an integral structure instead of being formed as a separate member from the support frame 28.
[0013]
The fishing line guide 20 has a concave side of the leg portion 30 placed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip rod 12 and the leg portion 30 and the rod main body of the tip rod 12 are impregnated with resin in a normal bobbin portion. The pinned layer 32 formed in this manner is fixed to the tub tube of the tip rod 12. It is preferable that the fixed layer 32 extends not only in the range where the leg portion 30 extends but also beyond the leg portion 30 to the buttock side.
[0014]
The above-described bobbin is preferably formed by winding a yarn having a diameter of, for example, about 0.17 to 0.23 mm at close intervals, but not only such a yarn but also a synthetic resin tape, polyester It can also be formed by winding a metal me tape, a cloth adhesive tape, or a narrow prepreg tape in which aluminum is deposited on the film. Such a tape is preferably about 0.05 to 0.3 mm in thickness and about 1 to 10 mm in width. In addition, the leg part 30 can also be fixed to the tub tube main body of the tip heel 12 by adhesion or the like.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 4, the outer peripheral portion of such a fixed layer 32 is formed on an uneven surface by alternately forming protrusions and grooves extending in the circumferential direction by thread winding or the like along the axial direction. . On the outer peripheral surface of the fixed layer 32, a light reflecting layer 34 that reflects light of a light emitting layer described later is formed. The light reflecting layer 34 can be formed of an appropriate member such as a white paint and a synthetic resin tape or a colored polyester film tape. In any case, the light reflecting layer 34 is formed in a white color having a thickness of about 0.01 to 0.05 mm, and the outer periphery thereof is formed with unevenness corresponding to the uneven surface of the fixed layer 32. Is preferred. In the present specification, the white system is not only a perfect white color having the highest reflectance, but also a milky white color, a silver white color, a grayish white color, and a white color to which a light color such as yellow, light blue, or pink is added. Also includes white.
[0016]
A light emitting layer 36 is formed on the outer periphery of the light reflecting layer 34. The light emitting layer 36 is made of a suitable material such as a synthetic resin, paint or ink which preferably contains 30% by weight or more of a suitable luminous pigment such as Al ₂ O ₃ , BaCo ₃ , SrCl _{2, and the} like. Forming a maximum outer diameter part by bulging the substantially central part, and forming a smooth curved surface with the outer surface smoothly reduced in diameter from the maximum outer diameter part toward both ends in the axial direction on the tip side and buttock side It is formed and forms a three-dimensional effect whose shape changes depending on the viewing angle even at night. Further, since the outer surface is formed in a smooth curved surface shape, the bending of the soot tube main body is not hindered, and a step portion that causes stress concentration is not formed between the soot tube main body. Since the outer surface of the light reflecting layer 34 is formed as an uneven surface as described above, the adhesion between the light reflecting layer 34 and the light emitting layer 36 is improved, and the large deflection of the soot tube body is repeatedly performed. Even in such a case, peeling of the light emitting layer 36 can be reliably prevented. In addition, since the outer surface of the fixed layer 32 is also formed in an uneven surface as described above, it is obvious that the separation between the fixed layer 32 and the light reflecting layer 36 is also reliably prevented.
[0017]
The content ratio of the phosphorescent pigment in the light emitting layer 36 can be set as appropriate, but when excessively contained, in addition to the intensity of the light emitting layer 36 being reduced, the amount of transmitted ultraviolet light is reduced, The emission intensity does not increase greatly beyond a predetermined value. Conversely, if the phosphorescent pigment content is too small, the light emission intensity is insufficient.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows the maximum outer diameter portion of the light emitting layer 36 in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the axis of the soot tube body. As is clear from this figure, the maximum outer diameter portion of the light emitting layer 36 is a leg portion. A portion corresponding to 30 has a non-circular cross-sectional shape protruding outward. Such a non-circular cross-sectional shape of the maximum outer diameter portion provides a three-dimensional effect of the light emitting layer 36, and an index that makes it easy to visually recognize the posture or arrangement direction at night. Therefore, it is easy to detect the direction of the hit from the posture and movement of the light emitting layer 36, and it is possible to easily take the posture of taking together or taking in the fish. It should be noted that at least one portion other than the portion corresponding to the leg portion 30 is projected or recessed as long as it is an index that allows the posture or arrangement direction of the light emitting layer 36 to be easily visible at night. It may be provided.
[0019]
The light emitting layer 36 having such a cross-sectional shape has a thickness of 0.2 mm or more within a range that does not reach the edge portion of the guide hole formed by the guide ring 26 of the fishing line guide 20 that is closest to the rod body. Form. By setting the outer diameter or thickness of the light emitting layer 36 in such a range, the fishing line is passed through the light emitting layer 36 when the fishing line passes through the guide ring 26 while maintaining a sufficient thickness for securing the light emission intensity. It is possible to prevent a collision and damage. The light emitting layer 36 can be formed thicker until it has a larger diameter if necessary. However, when it is formed excessively thick, the number of steps is increased and the molding difficulty is increased. In addition, the light emitting layer 36 itself is likely to be heavy and fragile, and the original functions of the fishing rod such as the weight of the fishing rod and the swinging tone are deteriorated. Therefore, the thickness of the light emitting layer 36 is preferably determined based on necessary elements such as weight, visibility, and light emission intensity.
[0020]
Further, since the light emitting portion 24 having the light emitting layer 36 is located on the heel side with respect to the support frame 28 and the guide ring 26, the support frame 28 and the guide ring 30 of the fishing line guide 20 even if the rod main body is greatly curved. The light-emitting layer 36 can be viewed from any angle without being hindered by. Further, for example, when the fishing rod 10 falls down, the light guide 36 is protected by the support frame 28 of the fishing line guide 20 because the side on which the fishing line guide 20 is disposed falls first due to the weight of the fishing line guide 20. Damage to the light emitting layer 36 is prevented.
[0021]
Since the light emitting part 24 having such a light emitting layer 36 can be provided on the outer periphery of the leg 30 when the fishing line guide 20 is fixed to the rod body, it is not necessary to add a manufacturing process. The fishing rod 10 can be manufactured at low cost. Further, since the light emitting unit 24 does not need to be provided separately at a position separated from the fishing line guide 20, it does not feel strange and does not adversely affect the weight of the main body of the fishing rod 10 and the swinging tone. Therefore, the fishing rod 10 can be manufactured at a low cost without impairing the function of the fishing rod 10, and the visibility and operability of the fishing rod 10 at night can be improved due to the arrangement position and the three-dimensional shape that is easily visible.
[0022]
FIG. 5 shows a light emitting unit 24A according to a modification. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the site | part similar to the above-mentioned, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
The light emitting portion 24A is formed in a white system in which the fixed layer 32 itself reflects the light of the light emitting layer 36 by using the above-described thread, tape, or resin that fixes the fixed layer 32 that is white. However, the light reflection layer 34 described above is omitted. Furthermore, the luminous layer 24A with higher luminance can be formed by including the phosphorescent pigment in the entire fixed layer 32 or at least in the outer peripheral portion. Such a phosphorescent pigment can be contained in the fixed layer 32 by winding a phosphorescent yarn or phosphorescent tape containing the phosphorescent pigment around the leg 30 and the tub tube body. Thus, by omitting the light reflecting layer 34, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost of the fishing rod 10 can be further reduced. It is also possible to improve the aesthetics of the daytime by coloring the outer peripheral surface of the light emitting layer 36 with, for example, a transparent paint or forming a pattern.
[0023]
FIGS. 6A and 6B show examples in which the light emitting sections 24 and 24A are provided on the most advanced top guide 22, respectively.

[0024]
A reinforcement layer 33 that reinforces the tip collar 12 is extended on the tip collar 12 from the rear end of the sleeve 31 toward the buttock side. This reinforcing layer 33 can be formed by impregnating a pin wound portion similar to the above-described fixed layer 32 with a resin. Further, similarly to the fixed layer 32, the reinforcing layer 33 can be formed by winding a synthetic resin tape, a metal me tape obtained by vapor-depositing aluminum on a polyester film, a cloth adhesive tape, or a narrow prepreg tape. The light emitting unit 24 shown in FIG. 6A sequentially forms a light reflecting layer 34 and a light emitting layer 36 similar to those described above, and the light emitting unit 24A shown in FIG. The light emitting layer 36 itself is formed in a white system that reflects the light, and the light emitting layer 36 similar to the above is directly formed on the outer periphery.
[0025]
In any case, the light emitting layer 36 has an outer shape that smoothly decreases in diameter from the maximum outer diameter portion located at the substantially central portion in the axial direction toward both end portions in the axial direction. Creates a three-dimensional effect that changes depending on the viewing angle of the shape. Moreover, the uneven surface between each layer prevents peeling of each layer.
[0026]

The rear end portion 27 of the auxiliary leg portion 29b has a substantially arc-shaped cross-sectional shape similar to the leg portion 30 of the fishing line guide 20 described above, and is fixed to the rod main body by the fixing layer 32 as described above. The Even when the length of the tubule body inserted into the sleeve 31A is extremely short, it can be firmly fixed to the tubule body of the tip tub 12 via the rear end portion 27 of the auxiliary leg portion 29b. . The intermediate portion of the auxiliary leg portion 29b preferably has a curved structure so as not to interfere with the fishing line passing through the guide hole of the guide ring 26, and may be one or two. Further, similarly to the above-described fishing line guide 20, a light reflecting layer 34 and a light emitting layer 36 are formed in order on the fixed layer 32, and the maximum outer diameter portion is a non-circular cross section similar to the above-described fishing line guide 20. Form a shape.
