Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wind resistor, and more particularly to a wind resistor used for a fishing rod.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a fishing rod mainly has a rod body, a fishing line locking portion provided on the tip side of the rod body, and a grip that is fitted into a rod-side end portion of the rod body.
[0003]
When fishing using such a fishing rod, especially in the case of rod fishing, a long rod of about 8 to 10 m is usually used. In recent years, the use of carbon fiber or the like has been used to reduce the weight of long bags such as cocoons.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For example, when fishing is performed on a windy day, the chassis receives wind, and wind force acts on the chassis. Therefore, a moment is generated along the wind direction around the grip portion. As a result, the angler holding the grip on the heel side receives a great resistance, and feels heavy on the fishing rod and becomes tired easily.
[0005]
The subject of this invention is improving the operativity fall resulting from the resistance of the wind which a fishing rod receives.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The wind resistor according to the first aspect of the present invention is a wind resistor that is attached to the base side of a fishing rod and maintains a balance with the tip side of the fishing rod, and includes a wind receiving portion that receives wind on the surface, and a wind receiving portion. And a mounting portion for attaching to the fishing rod.
[0007]
This wind resistor is attached to the base end of a fishing rod, for example. And if a fishing rod receives a wind, force will act on the wind receiving part attached to the base side edge part of a rod body along a wind direction similarly to the tip side. Since the wind receiving area of the wind receiving portion can be generally secured larger than the wind receiving area of the fishing rod, the force received by the wind by the wind receiving portion is larger than that on the tip side. For this reason, a small force acts on the tip side away from the grip, and a large force acts on the wind receiving portion near the grip, and the moment on the tip side is suppressed by a reverse moment on the wind receiving portion side. Therefore, although the force received by the angler increases as a whole, the moment on the tip side decreases, so the fatigue of the angler decreases.
[0008]
The wind resistor according to a second aspect of the present invention is the wind resistor of the first aspect, further comprising a wind receiving portion moving means for making the wind receiving portion face each other in the wind direction. In this case, the surface of the wind receiving portion can be directed in an arbitrary wind direction by the wind receiving portion moving means. Therefore, an operation for the angler to align the surface of the wind receiving portion with the wind direction is not necessary.
[0009]
A wind resistor according to a third aspect of the present invention is the wind resistor according to the first or second aspect, wherein the wind receiving portion and the mounting portion are rotatable with respect to each other about the axis of the fishing rod, and the wind receiving portion is a bag-like net that receives the wind. Part, an annular frame part to which an outer edge end of the net part is fixed, and a support part for supporting a part of the frame part.
[0010]
In this case, for example, a concave portion is formed on one of the support portion side end portion of the mounting portion and the mounting portion side end portion of the support portion, and a convex portion is formed on the other, and the concave portion and the convex portion are rotatably fitted. is doing. Further, a bag-like net part is formed in the wind receiving part, and the wind receiving part receives wind by the net part, but the wind passes through the net part. Therefore, the resistance received by the angler can be reduced.
[0011]
Further, when the wind passes through the bag-like net part, the opening side of the net part is opposed to the wind by the same action as the blowing. That is, the wind receiving part moving means can be realized by such a configuration.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 1, a wind resistor that employs an embodiment of the present invention is capable of receiving a wind receiving portion 1 that receives wind, and the wind receiving portion 1 can be freely rotated around an axis at the base end of a fishing rod R. And a mounting portion 2 for mounting on the head.
[0013]
The wind receiving portion 1 includes a bag-like net portion 3, a frame portion 4 to which the outer periphery of the net portion 3 is attached, and a support portion 5 that holds the frame portion 4 and to which the attachment portion 2 is attached.
[0014]
The mesh portion 3 is a mesh-like member made of, for example, nylon fiber, and the opening side edge portion is formed in a substantially circular shape so as to receive wind on the surface. The frame part 4 is formed by annularly forming a metal wire member such as stainless steel. Both end portions 6 (see FIG. 2) of the frame portion 4 are bent in the outer circumferential direction, and the bent both end portions 6 are fixed to the support portion 5.
[0015]
As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the mounting portion 2 has a support portion 5 rotatably mounted on one end side, and a cylindrical fishing rod mounting portion 7 for mounting on a fishing rod R on the other end side. Is formed. In the fishing rod mounting portion 7, an elastic member 8 is bonded to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion. The inner diameter of the cylindrical portion including the elastic member 8 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the fishing rod R, but is slightly smaller. For this reason, when the fishing rod mounting portion 7 is mounted on the fishing rod R, the mounting portion 2 and the fishing rod R are not easily detached by the elastic force of the elastic member 8.
[0016]
A connecting portion 9 that connects the supporting portion 5 and the mounting portion 2 so as to be rotatable around a fishing rod axis is constituted by the end portion on the mounting portion 2 side of the supporting portion 5 and the end portion on the supporting portion 5 side of the mounting portion 2. Yes. That is, the flange portion 10 is formed to protrude from the end portion on the support portion 5 side of the mounting portion 2, and the hole portion 11 into which the flange portion 10 is rotatably fitted is formed at the end portion on the mounting portion 2 side of the support portion 5. Yes. A lubricant such as grease is filled between the flange portion 10 and the hole portion 11 as necessary.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 3, the fishing rod R to which the wind resistor configured as described above is attached includes a rod body 20, a fishing line locking portion 21 provided on the tip side of the rod body 20, and the rod body 20. It has a grip 22 formed at the heel side end, and is a long rod used for carp fishing and the like. Here, a wind resistor is attached to the base end of the fishing rod R.
[0018]
When wind in the direction indicated by arrow A in FIG. 3 acts on the fishing rod R equipped with such a wind resistor, a moment a is generated in the counterclockwise direction around the grip 22 portion on the tip side. At this time, since the wind is also received in the same direction A on the heel side, the mesh portion 3 of the wind resistor receives the wind and rotates, and the wind acts on the surface of the mesh portion 3. As a result, a moment b is generated in the clockwise direction around the grip 22 on the heel side. At this time, although the net part 3 is mesh-shaped, since the wind receiving area is relatively large, it receives a force larger than the force acting on the tip side by the wind. Therefore, the wind receiving portion 1 is positioned closer to the grip 22 but can receive a relatively large force. For this reason, the tip-side moment a is canceled by the moment b by the wind receiving portion 1, and the tip-side moment a can be reduced.
[0019]

Although the hole 11 to be freely fitted is formed and configured, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a hole may be formed in the mounting portion 2 and a flange portion may be formed in the support portion 5.
