Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は竿体を振出形式に連結してなる釣竿、特に、釣竿全体の長さを調整可能としている釣竿に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に、釣竿は複数の筒状体である竿体を連結して一本の釣竿となっている。このような複数の竿体を連結する方式としては、振出形式と呼ばれるものがある。この振出形式とは、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している。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】
さらに、このような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したものがある。例えば、このような釣竿の元竿とその穂先側に連結される元上竿とにおいては、元竿の竿元側端部に装着される尻栓に元上竿の竿元側端部を装着できるようにしている。即ち、ある種の釣竿では、元上竿を元竿内に収納した際に、元上竿２の竿元側端部を尻栓に嵌着させる。そして、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）と元上竿が元竿内に挿入された状態（以下「収納状態」という）とのいずれの状態においても、元上竿と元竿とは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のである（例えば、特許文献１参照）。

【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような尻栓に元上竿を嵌着させるタイプの釣竿において生じる問題の１つに、元上竿を元竿内に収納した際の元上竿の尻栓への脱着に際し、尻栓の元竿への螺着が緩んでしまうということがある。即ち、元上竿を尻栓に装着し若しくは取り外す際には、元上竿を周方向にひねりながら元上竿の尻栓への脱着を行うことが多い。このような周方向への元上竿のひねりによって、尻栓の元竿への螺着が緩まってしまうことがある。この尻栓の緩みは尻栓の元竿からの落下や紛失などを引き起こしかねない。
【０００６】
また、このように釣竿全体の長さを調整するための釣竿に限らず、一般に、釣竿の尻栓は、釣竿の竿元側端部を釣人が腹部に当てて釣り操作を行うこともあるので、釣りをおこなっている間に緩んでしまう場合もある。
本発明の課題は、釣竿全体の長さを調整可能であり、且つ尻栓の緩みも生じ難い釣竿を提供することにある。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の釣竿は、筒状の本体部，及び本体部の竿元側端部に於いて他の部分より内径が大径化してその内周面にねじ溝が形成されている雌ねじ部を有する第１竿体と、第１竿体の雌ねじ部に脱着自在に装着される尻栓とを備えている。この尻栓は、穂先側に向かって開口する筒状の部分であって、穂先側外周面が第１竿体の本体部の内周面に当接可能な当接部分になっており、竿元側外周面が雌ねじ部に螺着する雄ねじ部分となっている筒部と、筒部の竿元側に連続する頭部とを有し、筒部の当接部分に穂先側端部から軸方向に延びる複数の割りが周方向に間隔を隔てて形成されている。
【０００８】
この釣竿では、尻栓の雄ねじ部分を第１竿体の雌ねじ部に螺着させて、尻栓を脱着自在に第１竿体に装着している。尻栓の筒部を第１竿体の竿元側に挿入し、雌ねじ部に雄ねじ部分を螺着させて、雄ねじ部分を雌ねじ部に完全に締め込むと、筒部の当接部分が第１竿体の本体部の内周面に当接する。この当接部分と本体部との摩擦力で、尻栓のねじの緩みが抑えられる。釣りの最中に、第１竿体の竿元側端部を腹部に押しあてながら釣人が釣りをおこなっても、尻栓は不当に緩み難い。
【０００９】
また、本発明の別の釣竿は、第１竿体の穂先側に振出形式に連結される第２竿体をさらに備えている。筒部は穂先側に向かって開口する第１筒状部と、第１筒状部の内部に位置し穂先側に向かって開口する第２筒状部とを有している。そして、当接部分及び雄ねじ部分は第１筒状部の外周面に形成されており、第２筒状部の外周面に第２竿体の竿元側端部内周面が嵌着自在である。
【００１０】
この釣竿では、必要に応じて、第２竿体の穂先側にさらに他の竿体が振出形式に連結される。そして、各竿体を順次第１竿体から穂先側に引き出した際には、従来の振出形式の釣竿と同様に順次嵌合されて固定され、一本の釣竿として使用できる。一方、他の竿体及び第２竿体を第１竿体内に収納すれば、コンパクトな状態となる。さらにまた、この第２竿体と第１竿体とに於いては、第２竿体を第１竿体内に収納した際に、尻栓の筒部の第２筒状部の外周面に（即ち、第１筒状部と第２筒状部との間に）第２竿体の竿元側端部が嵌着して固定される。このようにして、第２竿体は第１竿体内に収納した状態でも第１竿体に連結固定され、その余の竿体を穂先側に引き出して、釣竿全体の長さを調整して釣りをおこなうことが可能となる。
【００１１】
この場合において、第２竿体の尻栓へ嵌着し若しくはその嵌着を解除するに当たって、第２竿体を周方向にねじる等しても、尻栓の第１筒状部の当接部分が尻栓の不当な周方向への回転を妨げ、尻栓の不当な緩みが防止される。
また、本発明の別の釣竿は、第２竿体の穂先側に振出形式に連結される第３竿体をさらに備えている。筒部の第２筒状部の外周面は穂先側の小径部分と竿元側の大径部分との２段構造であり、穂先側の小径部分に第３竿体の竿元側端部内周面が嵌着自在であり、竿元側の大径部分に前記第２竿体の竿元側端部内周面が嵌着自在である。
【００１２】
この釣竿では、さらに、第３竿体を尻栓の第２筒状部の外周面の穂先側に嵌着させることができる。第２竿体及び第３竿体の両者を尻栓に嵌着させることで、釣竿全体の長さを３段にわたって変化させることが可能となる。この場合において、第２竿体及び／又は第３竿体の尻栓へ嵌着し若しくはその嵌着を解除するに当たって、第２竿体及び／又は第３竿体を周方向にねじる等しても、尻栓の第１筒状部の当接部分が尻栓の不当な周方向への回転を妨げ、尻栓の不当な緩みが防止される。
【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、複数の竿体を振出形式に連結して構成される。最も竿元側に位置する竿体が太径の元竿１である。図１及び図２に示すように、元竿１の竿元側端部には尻栓１０が脱着自在に装着される。
【００１４】
元竿１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る。そして、穂先側に位置する他の竿体（例えば、元上竿２や中竿など）は、穂先側に位置する竿体から順次竿元側に位置する竿体の内部に挿入され出し入れ自在になっており、最終的には元竿１の内部に収納されコンパクトな状態となる。元竿１の周面には、必要に応じて、リールシートや釣糸ガイドなど部品も装着される。
【００１５】
元竿１は、全体として先細りテーパが施されている。穂先側端部内周面には、元上竿２の穂先側への抜け止め及び元上竿２を連結するための嵌合部分も形成される。図２に詳しく示すように、この元竿１は、本体部１ａと本体部１ａの竿元側端部に於いて他の部分より内径が大径化してその内周面にねじ溝が形成されている雌ねじ部１ｂとに区分できる。このような雌ねじ部１ｂは、例えば、芯材に繊維強化樹脂を巻回して焼成して先細り筒状部材を形成した後に、その一端側内周面を削って、内径を大径化し、且つ、その内周面にねじ溝を削る等の手法で形成できる。なお、元上竿２は、元竿１の穂先側に連結される竿体であり、元竿１と同様に全体として先細りテーパが施されている。後述のように、この元上竿２の竿元側端部は、元上竿２を元竿１内に収納した際に尻栓１０に嵌着し得る。
【００１６】
元竿１の竿元側端部の上述の雌ねじ部１ｂに尻栓１０が装着されている。図１及び図２に示すように、この尻栓１０は、穂先側に向かって開口する筒状の筒部１１と筒部１１の竿元側に連続する頭部１２とを有している。
筒部１１は第１筒状部１３と第２筒状部１４との２つの部分からなる。第１筒状部１３が外周側に位置し、第２筒状部１４が第１筒状部１３の内部に収納された状態にある。第２筒状部１４の軸方向長さは第１筒状部１３の軸方向長さより短く、第２筒状部１４は第１筒状部１３内に完全に収納されている。
【００１７】
第１筒状部１３の外周面は軸方向において２つの部分に区分できる。即ち、第１筒状部１３は穂先側の当接部分１３ａと、竿元側の雄ねじ部分１３ｂとに区分できる。当接部分１３ａはその外径が元竿１の本体部１ａの竿元側の径にあわせて調整されており、本体部１ａの内周面に当接可能である。当接部分１３ａの穂先側の端面は内周面側・外周面側共にテーパ面となっている。さらに、この当接部分１３ａには、穂先側の端縁から軸方向に延びる割りが形成されている。割りは、周方向に間隔を隔てて複数形成される。例えば、図１に示すように、周方向にそれぞれ１２０ずつ変位しながら３つの割りを形成する。
【００１８】
一方、雄ねじ部分１３ｂは当接部分１３ａより外径が大きく設定され、元竿１の雌ねじ部１ｂの径にあわせて調整されている。雄ねじ部分１３ｂにはこの雌ねじ部１ｂに螺着するためのねじ溝が形成されている。この雄ねじ部分１３ｂの軸方向長さは、一般に、雌ねじ部１ｂの軸方向長さより短く設定される。
図２に示すように、第２筒状部１４はその外径を元上竿２の竿元側端部の内径にあわせて調整されており、元上竿２の内周面が第２筒状部１４の外周面に嵌着可能となっている。即ち、元上竿２は第２筒状部１４と第１筒状部１３との間のクリアランスに収納される。なお、第２筒状部１４の外周面には周方向に係止用の突起を形成してもよい。また、第２筒状部１４の穂先側の開口には、ゴム栓１６が装着されている。
【００１９】
頭部１２は、尻栓１０を元竿１に装着した際に、元竿１の竿元側に露出する部分である。その外径は元竿１の外径にあわせて調整されている。頭部１２と筒部１１の雄ねじ部分１１ｂとの間にはワッシャーリング１５を介在させてもよい。この釣竿では、釣りをおこなう際には、各竿体を順次元竿１から穂先側に引き出して連結して一本の釣竿として使用される。一方、他の竿体〜元上竿２を元竿１内に収納すれば、コンパクトな状態となる。さらに、元上竿２と元竿１とに於いては、元上竿２を元竿１内に収納した際に、尻栓１０の筒部１１の第２筒状部１４の外周面に元上竿２の竿元側端部が嵌着して固定される。このようにして、元上竿２は元竿１内に収納した状態でも元竿１に連結固定され、その余の竿体を穂先側に引き出して、釣竿全体の長さを調整して釣りをおこなうこともできる。
【００２０】
この釣竿に於いては、尻栓１０の雄ねじ部分１３ｂを元竿１雌ねじ部１ｂに螺着させて、尻栓１０を脱着自在に元竿１に装着している。そして、尻栓１０の筒部１１を元竿１の竿元側に挿入し、雌ねじ部１ｂに第１筒状部１３の雄ねじ部１３ｂを螺着させて、雄ねじ部分１３ｂを雌ねじ部１ｂに完全に締め込むと、図２に示すように、第１筒状部１３の穂先側の当接部分１３ａが元竿１の本体部１ａの内周面に当接する。この当接部分１３ａと本体部１ａとの摩擦力で、尻栓１０のねじの緩みが抑えられている。よって、元上竿２を尻栓１０に嵌着させ若しくはその嵌着を解除するために、元上竿２を周方向にねじる等しても、尻栓１０は元上竿２と共に周方向に回転し難く、不当に尻栓１０が緩んでしまうこともない。また、釣りの最中に、元竿１の竿元側端部の尻栓１０を腹部に押しあてながら釣人が釣りをおこなっても、尻栓１０は不当に緩み難い。
［第２実施形態］
本発明の第２実施形態を採用する釣竿は、図３に示すように、元竿２１と、その穂先側に振出形式に連結される元上竿２２と、元上竿２２の穂先側に振出形式で連結される中竿２３と、その穂先側にさらに必要に応じて連結されるその余の竿体とからなる。この元竿２１も、上記第１実施形態と同様に、本体部２１ａ及び雌ねじ部２１ｂとに区分できる。
【００２１】
この元竿２１の竿元側端部の上述の雌ねじ部２１ｂに尻栓３０が装着されている。この尻栓３０は、穂先側に向かって開口する筒状の筒部と筒部の竿元側に連続する頭部３２とを有している。上記第１実施形態と同様に、筒部は第１筒状部３３と第２筒状部３４との２つの部分からなる。第１筒状部３３が外周側に位置し、第２筒状部３４が第１筒状部３３の内部に収納された状態にある。もっとも、この尻栓３０においては、第１筒状部３３と第２筒状部３４とは別体から構成されている。即ち、第２筒状部３４の竿元側において、第２筒状部３４は頭部３２にねじ式で連結されている。両者は脱着自在としてもよいが、接着剤等で両者を固定してしまってもよい。
【００２２】
この第１筒状部３３の外周面は軸方向において２つの部分に区分できる。即ち、第１実施形態と同様に、第１筒状部３３は穂先側の当接部分３３ａと、竿元側の雄ねじ部分３３ｂとに区分できる。その余の構造も第１実施形態と同様である。
一方、第２筒状部３４の外周面も、軸方向において２つの部分に区分できる。即ち、この外周面は、軸方向においてその穂先側を小径部分として竿元側を大径部分とする２段構造となっている。穂先側の小径部分は、その外径を中竿２３の竿元側端部の内径にあわせて調整されており、中竿３の竿元側の内取面が第２筒状部３４の穂先側の外周面（小径部分）に嵌着可能となっている。また、竿元側の大径部分は、その外径を元上竿２２の竿元側端部の内径にあわせて調整されており、元上竿２２の内周面が第２筒状部３４の竿元側の外周面（大径部分）に嵌着可能となっている。また、第２筒状部３４の穂先側の開口には、ゴム栓３６が装着されている。
【００２３】
頭部３２は、尻栓３０を元竿２１に装着した際に、元竿１の竿元側に露出する部分であって、上記第１実施形態と同様である。
この釣竿では、第１実施形態と異なり、さらに中竿２３も尻栓３０の第２筒状部３４の外周面の穂先側の小径部分に嵌着させることができる。中竿２３及び元上竿２２の両者を尻栓３０に嵌着させることで、釣竿全体の長さを３段にわたって変化させることが可能となる。この場合において、元上竿２２及び／又は中竿２３の尻栓３０へ嵌着し若しくはその嵌着を解除するに当たって、元上竿２２及び／又は中竿２３を周方向にねじる等しても、尻栓３０の第１筒状部３３の当接部分３３ａが尻栓３０の不当な周方向への回転を妨げ、尻栓３０の不当な緩みが防止される。
［他の実施形態］
上述の第１実施形態において、図４に示すように、当接部分１３ａに周方向の凹部を形成し、この凹部にゴムリング５０を装着してもよい。このゴムリング５０は当接部分１３ａの周面の外径より大きな外径を有し、ゴムリング５０の周面を本体部１ａに当接させる。このように、ゴムリング５０の弾性を利用して嵌合力を演出することもできる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing rod formed by connecting a rod body in a swing-out form, and more particularly to a fishing rod capable of adjusting the entire length of the fishing rod.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a fishing rod is formed as a single fishing rod by connecting a plurality of cylindrical bodies. As a method of connecting such a plurality of housings, there is a so-called swing type. In this swing-out format, a plurality of cylindrical casings can be sequentially inserted from the tip end casing into the base casing. 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]
Furthermore, some of the conventional swing-type fishing rods can be changed by changing the overall length of the rod. For example, in the former rod of the fishing rod and the former upper rod connected to the tip of the fishing rod, the end portion of the former upper rod is attached to the bottom plug attached to the proximal end portion of the former rod. I can do it. That is, in a certain type of fishing rod, when the former upper rod is stored in the former rod, the end portion on the lower side of the former upper rod 2 is fitted to the bottom plug. And, the state where the former bowl connected to the tip side of the marshal is pulled out to the tip side (hereinafter referred to as “stretched state”) and the state where the former bowl is inserted into the former side (hereinafter referred to as “storage state”) In both states, the original upper rod and the original rod can be fitted and fixed to each other, and fishing can be performed by changing the entire length of the rod depending on the situation (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-354437
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
One of the problems that arise in fishing rods of the type in which the upper rod is fitted to such a bottom plug is that when the upper collar is stored in the main rod, There are times when the screw on the Marshal is loosened. That is, when the upper collar is attached to or removed from the butt plug, the former heel is often attached to or detached from the butt plug while twisting in the circumferential direction. Such a twist of the upper collar in the circumferential direction may loosen the threaded attachment of the butt plug to the former collar. This loose bottom plug can cause the bottom plug to fall or be lost.
[0006]
In addition, not only a fishing rod for adjusting the overall length of the fishing rod in this way, but in general, the bottom plug of a fishing rod may be operated by the angler hitting the rod side end of the fishing rod against the abdomen. In some cases, you may loosen while fishing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that can adjust the entire length of the fishing rod and that does not easily cause loosening of the bottom plug.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The fishing rod of the present invention has a cylindrical main body portion and a female screw portion in which the inner diameter is larger than the other portion at the base side end portion of the main body portion and a thread groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. A first housing and a bottom plug that is detachably attached to the female thread portion of the first housing are provided. The bottom plug is a cylindrical portion that opens toward the tip side, and the tip side outer peripheral surface is a contact portion that can contact the inner peripheral surface of the main body of the first housing. It has a cylindrical part that is a male threaded part whose outer peripheral surface is screwed to the female threaded part, and a head that is continuous to the base side of the cylindrical part. A plurality of splits extending in the direction are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction.
[0008]
In this fishing rod, the male screw portion of the bottom plug is screwed onto the female screw portion of the first casing, and the bottom plug is detachably attached to the first casing. When the cylindrical portion of the butt plug is inserted into the base side of the first housing, the male screw portion is screwed onto the female screw portion, and the male screw portion is completely tightened into the female screw portion, the contact portion of the cylindrical portion becomes the first portion. It contacts the inner peripheral surface of the main body of the housing. The frictional force between the abutting portion and the main body portion suppresses loosening of the screw of the bottom plug. During fishing, even if the angler fishes while pushing the heel side end of the first housing against the abdomen, the bottom plug is not likely to loosen unreasonably.
[0009]
In addition, another fishing rod of the present invention further includes a second rod connected to the tip of the first rod in a swinging manner. The tubular portion has a first tubular portion that opens toward the tip side, and a second tubular portion that is located inside the first tubular portion and opens toward the tip side. And the contact part and the external thread part are formed in the outer peripheral surface of the 1st cylindrical part, and the inner peripheral surface of the edge side edge part of a 2nd housing is freely engageable with the outer peripheral surface of a 2nd cylindrical part. .
[0010]
In this fishing rod, if necessary, another rod is connected to the tip side of the second rod in a swinging form. When each rod is sequentially pulled out from the first rod to the tip, it is fitted and fixed in the same manner as a conventional fishing rod and can be used as a single rod. On the other hand, if the other casing and the second casing are housed in the first casing, a compact state is obtained. Furthermore, in the second casing and the first casing, when the second casing is stored in the first casing, the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion of the cylindrical portion of the bottom plug ( That is, the flange side end portion of the second casing is fitted and fixed between the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion. In this way, the second rod is connected and fixed to the first rod even in the state of being housed in the first rod, and the remaining rod is pulled out to the tip side to adjust the overall length of the fishing rod. Can be performed.
[0011]
In this case, even if the second casing is twisted in the circumferential direction when fitted to or released from the bottom plug of the second casing, the contact portion of the first cylindrical portion of the bottom plug This prevents the butt plug from rotating in the circumferential direction and prevents the butt plug from being unreasonably loosened.
In addition, another fishing rod of the present invention further includes a third rod body connected to the tip of the second rod body in a swinging manner. The outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion of the tube portion is a two-stage structure having a small diameter portion on the tip side and a large diameter portion on the heel side, and the inner periphery of the heel side end portion of the third skeleton on the small diameter portion on the tip side The surface can be freely fitted, and the inner peripheral surface of the flange side end of the second casing can be freely fitted to the large diameter portion on the flange side.
[0012]
In this fishing rod, the third rod can be further fitted to the tip side of the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion of the bottom plug. By fitting both the second rod body and the third rod body to the bottom plug, the length of the entire fishing rod can be changed over three stages. In this case, the second casing and / or the third casing is twisted in the circumferential direction, for example, when the second casing and / or the third casing is fitted to the butt plug or released. However, the contact portion of the first tubular portion of the butt plug prevents the butt plug from being unduly rotated in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing undue loosening of the butt plug.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The fishing rod employing the first embodiment of the present invention is configured by connecting a plurality of rods in a swing-out format. The casing located closest to the base side is the large diameter base 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a butt plug 10 is detachably attached to a heel side end of the heel 1.
[0014]
The base rod 1 is a tapered cylindrical member formed from a prepreg obtained by impregnating carbon fiber or glass fiber with a synthetic resin. Then, other rods located on the tip side (for example, the former rod 2 and the middle rod) are inserted into the rods located on the rod side sequentially from the rod located on the tip side, and can be freely inserted and removed. Finally, it is housed inside the main fence 1 and becomes compact. Parts such as a reel seat and a fishing line guide are also mounted on the peripheral surface of the main rod 1 as necessary.
[0015]
The main shaft 1 is tapered as a whole. On the inner peripheral surface of the tip side end part, a fitting portion for preventing the former upper collar 2 from coming off to the tip side and connecting the former upper collar 2 is also formed. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the main shaft 1 has an inner diameter larger than that of the other portion at the main body portion 1a and the end portion of the main body portion 1a, and a thread groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. And the female thread portion 1b. Such a female thread portion 1b is formed by, for example, winding a fiber reinforced resin around a core material and firing it to form a tapered tubular member, then scraping the inner peripheral surface on one end side to increase the inner diameter, and It can be formed by a technique such as cutting a thread groove on the inner peripheral surface. In addition, the former upper heel 2 is a skeleton that is connected to the tip side of the former heel 1 and is tapered as a whole in the same manner as the former heel 1. As will be described later, the heel side end portion of the former upper collar 2 can be fitted into the bottom plug 10 when the upper upper collar 2 is housed in the former collar 1.
[0016]
A tail plug 10 is attached to the above-described female screw portion 1 b at the end of the base side of the base 1. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the bottom plug 10 has a cylindrical tube portion 11 that opens toward the tip side, and a head portion 12 that continues to the base side of the tube portion 11.
The cylindrical part 11 consists of two parts, a first cylindrical part 13 and a second cylindrical part 14. The first cylindrical portion 13 is located on the outer peripheral side, and the second cylindrical portion 14 is in a state of being housed inside the first cylindrical portion 13. The axial length of the second cylindrical portion 14 is shorter than the axial length of the first cylindrical portion 13, and the second cylindrical portion 14 is completely accommodated in the first cylindrical portion 13.
[0017]
The outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 13 can be divided into two parts in the axial direction. That is, the first tubular portion 13 can be divided into a contact portion 13a on the tip side and a male screw portion 13b on the heel side. The outer diameter of the contact portion 13a is adjusted in accordance with the diameter of the base portion 1a of the main body 1a of the main shaft 1 and can contact the inner peripheral surface of the main body 1a. The end surface on the tip side of the contact portion 13a is a tapered surface on both the inner peripheral surface side and the outer peripheral surface side. Furthermore, the contact part 13a is formed with a split extending in the axial direction from the edge on the tip side. A plurality of splits are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, three splits are formed while being displaced by 120 each in the circumferential direction.
[0018]
On the other hand, the outer diameter of the male screw portion 13b is set larger than that of the contact portion 13a, and is adjusted in accordance with the diameter of the female screw portion 1b of the main shaft 1. The male screw portion 13b is formed with a screw groove for screwing onto the female screw portion 1b. The axial length of the male screw portion 13b is generally set shorter than the axial length of the female screw portion 1b.
As shown in FIG. 2, the outer diameter of the second cylindrical portion 14 is adjusted to match the inner diameter of the base side end of the upper collar 2, and the inner peripheral surface of the upper collar 2 is the second cylinder. It can be fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the shaped portion 14. That is, the upper collar 2 is accommodated in the clearance between the second cylindrical portion 14 and the first cylindrical portion 13. A locking protrusion may be formed in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 14. A rubber plug 16 is attached to the opening on the tip side of the second cylindrical portion 14.

The bottom plug 30 has a cylindrical tube portion that opens toward the tip side, and a head portion 32 that continues to the base side of the tube portion. Similar to the first embodiment, the cylindrical portion is composed of two portions, a first cylindrical portion 33 and a second cylindrical portion 34. The first cylindrical portion 33 is located on the outer peripheral side, and the second cylindrical portion 34 is in a state of being accommodated inside the first cylindrical portion 33. But in this butt plug 30, the 1st cylindrical part 33 and the 2nd cylindrical part 34 are constituted from another object. In other words, the second cylindrical portion 34 is connected to the head portion 32 by a screw on the base side of the second cylindrical portion 34. Both may be detachable, but may be fixed with an adhesive or the like.
[0022]
The outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 33 can be divided into two parts in the axial direction. That is, as in the first embodiment, the first cylindrical portion 33 can be divided into a contact portion 33a on the tip side and a male screw portion 33b on the heel side. The remaining structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.
On the other hand, the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 34 can also be divided into two portions in the axial direction. That is, the outer peripheral surface has a two-stage structure in which the tip side is a small diameter portion and the heel side is a large diameter portion in the axial direction. The outer diameter of the small-diameter portion on the tip side is adjusted in accordance with the inner diameter of the end portion on the heel side of the center collar 23, and the inner surface on the heel side of the center collar 3 is the tip of the second cylindrical portion 34. It can be fitted to the outer peripheral surface (small diameter portion) on the side. Further, the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion on the heel side is adjusted in accordance with the inner diameter of the heel-side end of the heel 22, and the inner peripheral surface of the heel 22 is the second cylindrical portion 34. Can be fitted to the outer peripheral surface (large-diameter portion) on the base side. A rubber plug 36 is attached to the opening on the tip side of the second cylindrical portion 34.
[0023]
The head 32 is a portion that is exposed to the base side of the base rod 1 when the bottom plug 30 is attached to the base rod 21, and is the same as in the first embodiment.
In this fishing rod, unlike the first embodiment, the intermediate rod 23 can also be fitted to the small diameter portion on the tip side of the outer peripheral surface of the second tubular portion 34 of the bottom plug 30. By fitting both the middle rod 23 and the upper rod 22 to the bottom plug 30, the length of the entire fishing rod can be changed over three stages. In this case, the former upper collar 22 and / or the middle collar 23 may be twisted in the circumferential direction or the like when the former collar 22 and / or the middle collar 23 is fitted to the bottom plug 30 or released. The abutment portion 33a of the first tubular portion 33 of the butt plug 30 prevents the butt plug 30 from rotating in an inappropriate circumferential direction, thereby preventing undue loosening of the butt plug 30.
[Other Embodiments]
In the first embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 4, a circumferential recess may be formed in the contact portion 13a, and a rubber ring 50 may be attached to the recess. The rubber ring 50 has an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the peripheral surface of the contact portion 13a, and makes the peripheral surface of the rubber ring 50 contact the main body 1a. Thus, the fitting force can be produced using the elasticity of the rubber ring 50.
