Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a fishing rod, and more particularly to a structure of a grip provided on the fishing rod.

  A fisherman grasps and operates a fishing rod to perform lure and bait casting, line posture correction and reeling, action and reaction when the target fish bites, and the like. Therefore, the fishing rod plays an extremely important role in actual fishing, but it is necessary for the fishing rod to be securely gripped by the angler in order for the fishing rod to fully perform. . In other words, it is necessary to take measures so that slip does not easily occur between the angler's hand and the fishing rod. For this reason, in a conventional fishing rod, a portion (generally referred to as “grip”) gripped by a fisherman is subjected to various anti-skid processes (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2003-116421 A

  The conventional general anti-slip process is performed, for example, by providing a large number of minute protrusions on the surface of a fishing rod grip. Although a predetermined anti-slipping effect is obtained by such anti-slipping treatment, a more effective anti-slipping effect is still required in actual fishing. In particular, it is necessary to reliably prevent slippage between the angler's hand and the grip during the hooking operation performed by the angler when the target fish is bitten.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that does not slip between the grip and the angler's hand even when the angler performs a hooking operation during actual fishing.

To achieve the above object , a fishing rod according to the present invention includes a fishing rod main body, a grip provided on the fishing rod main body, a grip for the angler to grip, and the angler's thumb and index finger with the angler holding the grip. And an engaging protrusion protruding from the grip so as to be disposed therebetween. This grip is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the original clause made of a cylindrical member. This engagement protrusion protrudes in the radial direction of the grip.

  When the angler holds the grip, the grip is placed between the angler's thumb and index finger. According to the above configuration, since the engagement protrusion is provided on the grip, the engagement protrusion is sandwiched between the angler's thumb and the index finger when the angler holds the grip. That is, the engaging protrusion is caught by the fisher's thumb and index finger.

The engaging protrusion includes a main body in which a jaw portion is formed to be hooked between a fisherman's thumb and a forefinger, and a leg portion that is continuous with the main body and connected to a grip . When the fisherman grasps the grip, the leg is disposed between the fisherman's thumb and the index finger, and the main body is the Protrude from between. As described above, since the jaw portion contacts the boundary portion between the thumb and the index finger, the engagement protrusion reliably engages with the angler's hand, and a reliable slip prevention is realized.

In particular, the jaw portion is formed in a cone shape that is continuous with the leg portion and is gradually and smoothly expanded in diameter from the leg portion of the engagement protrusion toward the main body . Since the jaw portion is formed in such a shape, the jaw portion fits the angler's hand, so that the angler has an advantage that the grip is comfortable.

The leg portion is preferably flexible. Since the leg portion is flexible, even if the posture of the angler's hand with respect to the grip is changed, the posture of the engaging protrusion is changed accordingly. Therefore, even if the gripping method differs depending on the angler, the engagement protrusion has an advantage that it can be surely fitted to the angler's hand.

Position change mechanism that changes the position of the engagement projections against the said grip may be is further provided. Thereby, an engaging protrusion can be arrange | positioned in the position which fits the angler's hand most. Therefore, slipping between the angler's hand and the grip is more reliably prevented, and the grip feeling of the grip is further improved for the angler.

  A plurality of the position change mechanisms may be provided on the grip and provided with an attachment hole for holding the engagement protrusion. In this configuration, since the position changing mechanism has a very simple structure, the means for adjusting the position of the engaging protrusion is configured at a very low cost.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the angler grips the grip, the engaging protrusion is caught on the angler's thumb and index finger, so that the angler's hand can be easily removed from the grip no matter how the angler operates the fishing rod during actual fishing. It will not come off. Therefore, for example, even when the angler performs a hooking operation, no slip occurs between the grip and the angler's hand, and a very easy-to-use fishing rod is provided.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a fishing rod 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This fishing rod 10 is a so-called inner guide type swing-out fishing rod. The fishing rod 10 includes a fishing rod main body 11 and a grip 12. The grip 12 is a portion where the angler grips the fishing rod 10. A feature of the fishing rod 10 according to the present embodiment is that the grip 12 is provided with an engaging protrusion 24 described later, whereby the grip 12 is easily gripped by the angler and is securely gripped. No slip occurs between the hand and the grip 12. Hereinafter, the configuration of the fishing rod 10 will be described in detail.

  The fishing rod main body 11 is composed of five cylindrical members 13-17. Each of the cylindrical members 13 to 17 is referred to as a “node” and is referred to as a first node 13 and a second node 14 in order from the distal end side (right side in the drawing) of the fishing rod main body 11. The fourth clause 16 is particularly referred to as “original upper clause”, and the fifth clause 17 is particularly referred to as “original clause”. Each clause 13-17 is comprised in a known manner. For example, a carbon fiber reinforced resin (carbon prepreg) is cut into a predetermined shape, and is wound around a mandrel and fired to form cylindrical nodes 13 to 17. The fishing rod 10 is equipped with a zoom mechanism in which the fourth node 16 (that is, the original upper node 16) extends and contracts with respect to the fifth node 17 (that is, the original node 17). However, this zoom mechanism is optional, and the mechanism may be omitted.

  The first node 13 is housed in the second node 14 so as to be freely drawn out. A top guide 18 from which the fishing line is led is provided at the tip of the first joint 13. The first node 13 is formed in a tapered shape, and is formed such that the outer diameter of the rear end portion is larger than the outer diameter of the front end portion. The rear end diameter of the first joint 13 is set to be larger than the tip diameter of the second joint 14, and when the first joint 13 is pulled out from the second joint 14, the first joint 13 is pulled out. The rear end portion of 13 is engaged with the front end portion of the second joint 14 so that both are fixed.

  The relationship between the second clause 14 and the third clause 15 and the relationship between the third clause 15 and the original upper clause 16 are the same. In addition, rings R1 to R4 are attached to the distal end portions of the second joint 14 to the original joint 17 in order to improve the rigidity of the part and to ensure the meshing of adjacent nodes. Further, a fishing line introduction hole (not shown) is provided at the distal end portion of the former upper section 16, and an introduction guide 19 for guiding the fishing line is attached to the fishing line introduction hole. The top guide 18 and the introduction guide 19 have a known configuration, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The original section 17 is provided with a reel sheet 20. The reel seat 20 is for holding a fishing reel (not shown) in a detachable manner. In the present embodiment, the reel sheet 20 is formed integrally with the grip 12. The reel seat 20 includes a hood 21 that accommodates and holds one of the legs of the fishing reel, and a movable hood 22 that accommodates and holds the other leg of the fishing reel. The movable hood 22 is slidable left and right in the drawing along the placement surface 23 on which the fishing reel is placed. Then, when the movable hood 22 slides left and right in the figure, the reel leg is sandwiched between the movable hood 22 and the hood 21, and the fishing reel is fixed on the mounting surface 23. .

FIG. 2 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of a main part of the fishing rod 10, and the structure of the grip 12 portion is shown in detail.
The grip 12 is formed integrally with the base clause 17 as shown in the figure. Therefore, the base clause 17, the grip 12, and the reel sheet 20 are integrally formed. Of course, the grip may be configured as a separate member, and this may be a structure that is attached to the base clause 17. In that case, the reel sheet may be formed integrally with the grip.

  The grip 12 has a recess 25 formed along the longitudinal direction. In the figure, only a single groove 25 is shown, but in reality, a pair of grooves 25 are provided symmetrically on both sides of the grip 12 with the longitudinal direction of the original joint 17 as the center. (See FIGS. 1 and 2). The concave line 25 prevents slipping when the angler grips the grip 12, but the concave line 25 may be omitted.

  The engagement protrusion 24 is provided inside the recess 25. The engagement protrusion 24 includes a main body 26 and a leg portion 27. The leg part 27 is comprised by the coil spring, and can be freely bent now in the axial direction and the direction which cross | intersects this. The coil spring is preferably composed of a wire made of stainless steel. A wire with a wire diameter of 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm is wound about 30 to 150 times, and an outer diameter of 3.0 to 6 mm. It is formed in a pipe shape of 0.0 mm.

  An attachment recess 28 is provided in the recess 25 of the grip 12. The mounting recess 28 accommodates and holds the end of the leg 27. The inner diameter of the mounting recess 28 corresponds to the outer diameter of the leg 27 (the outer diameter of the coil spring), and the leg 27 is fitted into the mounting recess 28 without a gap. In addition, the leg part 27 is fixed in the attachment recessed part 28 with an adhesive agent etc., for example.

  The main body 26 includes a jaw portion 29 and a head portion 30 and is formed in a substantially light bulb shape as a whole. The jaw portion 29 has a cone shape and is gradually expanded in diameter from the lower side to the upper side. That is, the jaw portion 29 has an outer diameter dimension that increases smoothly from the lower end to the upper side, and the generatrix defining the contour has a hyperbolic shape. The lower end portion of the jaw portion 29 is fitted into the coil spring constituting the leg portion 27, and both are fixed by, for example, an adhesive. On the other hand, the head 30 is formed continuously above the jaw 29 and is formed in a semi-spindle shape.

  When the main body 26 is fitted into the leg portion 27 and the leg portion 27 is attached to the attachment recess 28 of the grip 12, the engagement protrusion 24 is provided so as to protrude from the grip 12 in the radial direction. Thereby, when the angler grips the grip 12, the engagement protrusion 24 is disposed between the angler's thumb and the index finger.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part of the fishing rod 10 in a state where the angler holds the fishing rod 10.
Since the fishing rod 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with the reel sheet 20, a fishing reel 31 is attached thereto. In the figure, only the legs of the fishing reel 31 are shown. In this state, the angler grips the grip 12 of the fishing rod 10. When the angler grips the grip 12, the grip 12 is disposed between the angler's thumb 32 and the index finger 33. Since the grip 12 is provided with the engagement protrusion 24, when the angler holds the grip 12, the engagement protrusion 24 is sandwiched between the thumb 32 and the index finger 33, and the engagement protrusion 24 is engaged. The protrusion 24 is caught by the fisher's thumb 32 and index finger 33.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part of the fishing rod 10 when the angler performs a hooking operation.
As described above, when the angler grips the grip 12, the engaging protrusion 24 is caught by the thumb 32 and the index finger 33, so that the angler's hand can easily move from the grip 12 no matter how the angler operates the fishing rod 10 during actual fishing. It will not come off. Therefore, for example, even when the angler performs a hooking operation and the fishing rod 10 stands, no slip occurs between the grip 12 and the angler's hand, and the angler can operate the fishing rod 10 stably. it can.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the fisherman grips the grip 12, the leg portion 27 of the engagement protrusion 24 is disposed between the fisherman's thumb 32 and the index finger 33, and the chin portion 29 continuous with the leg portion 27 is the thumb. The head 30 protrudes from between the thumb 32 and the index finger 33 with contact with the boundary portion between the index finger 32 and the index finger 33. In this way, since the jaw portion 29 abuts on the boundary portion between the thumb 32 and the index finger 33, the engagement protrusion 24 reliably engages with the angler's hand, and a reliable slip is realized.

  Further, since the jaw portion 29 is formed in a cone shape, the jaw portion 29 has an advantage that it fits the angler's hand and that the angler has a good grip comfort.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the leg part 27 has flexibility, even if it is a case where the attitude | position of the angler's hand with respect to the grip 12 changes, the attitude | position of the engagement protrusion 24 changes according to this. To do. Therefore, even when the grip 12 is gripped differently depending on the angler, the engaging protrusion 24 can be surely fitted to the angler's hand due to the deformation of the leg portion 27, and a more reliable slip can be achieved. Realized.

  In this embodiment, the leg portion 27 is constituted by a coil spring, and the leg portion 27 is elastically deformed, but the leg portion 27 bends so as to fit the angler's hand without being elastically deformed. If it is. For example, the leg 27 may be made of a soft metal such as lead. In this case, the shape of the leg 27 once deformed is maintained, but since the leg 27 can be freely deformed, the grip 12 is gripped differently depending on the angler. Even so, the leg 27 is deformed and the engagement protrusion 24 fits securely into the angler's hand.

  In the present embodiment, it goes without saying that the outer shape of the engaging protrusion 24 may be formed in other shapes. For example, the jaw portion 29 may be formed into a substantially barrel shape in addition to the cone shape as described above, or the like so long as it is hooked on the boundary between the fisherman's thumb 32 and index finger 33. Further, the head 30 has a larger outer diameter, and various shapes such as a shape that comes into contact with the back of a fisherman's hand can be adopted.

Next, a modified example of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of a main part of a fishing rod 35 according to a modification of the present embodiment, and the structure of the grip 12 portion is shown in detail.

  The fishing rod 35 according to this modified example is different from the fishing rod 10 according to the above-described embodiment in that the grip 12 includes a position changing mechanism 36 that changes the attachment position of the engaging protrusion 24. In addition, about another structure, it is the same as that of the fishing rod 10 concerning the said embodiment.

  The position change mechanism 36 includes a plurality of mounting holes 37 provided in the grip 12. These attachment holes 37 are circular holes, and are provided at five locations along the recess 25. The inner diameter dimension of the attachment hole 37 corresponds to the outer diameter dimension of the leg portion 27. Thereby, the lower end part of the leg part 27 is fitted in each attachment hole 37 without a gap, and the leg part 27 is held with a predetermined holding force. This means that the leg portion 27 is removed from the attachment hole 37 by being pulled against the predetermined holding force, and therefore the leg portion 27 is the one that is desired by the angler among the attachment holes 37. It can be fitted and held.

  Thus, in this modification, the angler can arrange the engaging protrusion 24 at a position that best fits his / her hand. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent slippage between the angler's hand and the grip 12 and to further improve the grip feeling of the grip 12 for the angler. In addition, in this modification, the position changing mechanism 36 is constituted by a plurality of mounting holes 37 provided in the grip 12, so that the means for adjusting the position of the engagement protrusion 24 is configured at a very low cost. There is also.

Next, another modified example of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of a main part of a fishing rod according to another modification of the present embodiment, in which the structure of the grip 12 portion is shown in detail.

  Where the fishing rod according to this modification is different from the fishing rod 10 according to the above embodiment, the leg portion 27 of the engaging protrusion 24 has flexibility in the above embodiment, whereas in this modification, The leg 27 is not flexible and has a position change mechanism 36 as in the above modification. In addition, about another structure, it is the same as that of the fishing rod 10 concerning the said embodiment.

  As shown in this modification, the leg portion 27 of the engagement protrusion 24 is formed integrally with the jaw portion 29 continuously. The leg portion 27 is formed in a columnar shape as shown in the figure, and the outer diameter dimension thereof corresponds to the inner diameter dimension of the mounting hole 37 constituting the position changing mechanism 36. Therefore, the engagement protrusion 24 is gripped by the angler, and the leg portion 27 is fitted into the attachment hole 37 desired by the angler, whereby the engagement protrusion 24 is held by the grip 12 with a predetermined holding force. As described above, the angler can change the position of the engagement protrusion 24 by removing the engagement protrusion 24 from the attachment hole 37 and fitting it into another attachment hole 37.

  Also in this modified example, when the angler grips the grip 12, the engaging protrusion 24 is caught by the angler's finger 32 and index finger 33, so that the angler's hand can grip the grip 12 no matter how the angler operates the fishing rod 10 during actual fishing. Therefore, even if, for example, the angler performs a hooking operation and the fishing rod 10 stands up, no slip occurs between the grip 12 and the angler's hand. Can be operated stably.

  In this embodiment, the inner guide type fishing rod 10 is disclosed. However, the present invention is naturally applicable to an outer guide type fishing rod, a so-called all-purpose rod, and the like.

  The present invention can be applied to fishing rods in general.
