Description

  The present invention relates to a reel leg fixing device in which a reel seat body supporting a reel leg of a fishing reel is covered with a soft grip member, and more particularly to the structure of the grip member.

  The fishing rod is provided with a reel leg fixing device for fixing a fishing reel on the proximal side of the main rod. The reel leg fixing device includes a cylindrical reel sheet main body having a mounting surface for receiving the reel leg, and a fixed hood and a moving hood for fixing the reel leg to the reel sheet main body.

  The fixed hood is formed integrally with the reel sheet main body, and the position with respect to the placement surface is fixedly determined. The moving hood is supported by the reel sheet main body so as to be movable in a direction approaching or moving away from the fixed hood. By moving the moving hood, the reel legs can be sandwiched between the fixed hoods and the sandwiching of the reel legs can be released, and the fishing reel can be detachably fixed to the reel seat body.

  By the way, for example, when a fishing line is wound up and a fish is picked up, a large load may act on a fixed portion between the reel leg and the reel seat body. If this load exceeds the fixing force of the reel legs by the fixed hood and the moving hood, the reel legs will wobble with respect to the reel seat body, which adversely affects the operability of the fishing rod.

  As an improvement measure, in the reel leg fixing device disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, an elastic member is disposed on the mounting surface of the reel sheet main body. The elastic member is formed of a material that is more flexible than the reel sheet body. A part of the elastic member is embedded in the mounting surface so as to slightly protrude from the mounting surface.

For this reason, when the reel leg is fixed to the placement surface via the fixed hood and the movable hood, the elastic member is compressed between the reel leg and the placement surface and is in close contact with the reel leg. As a result, a frictional force against the external load is applied to the contact portion between the reel leg and the elastic member, and the wobbling of the reel leg is eliminated by the presence of this frictional force.

  According to the conventional reel leg fixing device, the elastic member embedded in the placement surface is a square block independent from the reel seat body, and is narrower than the placement surface. According to such a configuration, depending on the shape of the reel leg, both side portions of the reel leg protrude from the elastic member, and the reel leg cannot be reliably received by the elastic member.

  As a result, the contact area between the elastic member and the reel legs is insufficient, and it becomes difficult to prevent the reel legs from wobbling particularly in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body.

  An object of the present invention is to obtain a reel leg fixing device that can prevent wobbling of the reel legs in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet main body, has a good feel when the reel sheet main body is gripped by hand, and has excellent operability. is there.

To achieve the above object, a reel leg fixing device according to one aspect of the present invention includes:
A cylindrical reel sheet body having a mounting surface for receiving the reel legs;
A fixed hood that is provided on the reel seat body and holds one end of the reel leg with the placement surface;
A movable hood that is movably provided on the reel seat body, and holds the other end of the reel leg with the mounting surface by moving in a direction approaching the fixed hood;
A grip member that is formed of a softer material than the reel sheet main body and covers a region of the reel sheet main body that is out of the placement surface .
The grip member integrally includes an extending portion that extends so as to be positioned on the placement surface, and the extending portion is formed on the fixed hood and along the circumferential direction of the reel seat body. The extension hood is configured to cross a part of the placement surface with the movable hood and elastically contacts the reel leg when the reel leg is placed on the placement surface. In the position corresponding to the above, the grip member cooperates with the extending portion and continuously surrounds the reel seat body in the circumferential direction.

According to the present invention, when the reel leg is fixed to the reel seat body via the fixed hood and the movable hood, the reel leg is pressed against the placement surface and the extending portion of the grip member that covers a part of the placement surface Elastically contacts the reel legs.
At this time, since the extending portion of the grip member crosses a part of the mounting surface along the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body , the reel leg is received by the circumferential surface continuous in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body. be able to. As a result, regardless of the width dimension of the reel leg, both side portions of the reel leg do not protrude from the extending portion. Therefore, the reel legs can be reliably received by both the grip member and the mounting surface, and the reel legs can be reliably prevented from wobbling and shifting in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body.

  In addition, since the grip member is softer than the reel sheet body, the feel when the reel sheet body is grasped by hand is improved. For this reason, in combination with the ability to prevent the reel legs from wobbling, the operability when actually fishing fish is improved.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  The hood main body 14 has a bulging portion 16 at its front end. The bulging portion 16 projects from the placement surface 7 toward the lower side of the reel sheet body 5. The bulging portion 16 has a slit-like opening 17 into which the other end 4 b of the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is inserted. The opening 17 opens toward the front of the placement surface 7.

  Therefore, the fixed hood 10 and the movable hood 13 face each other with the placement surface 7 interposed therebetween.

  The nut member 15 is coaxially connected to the rear end portion of the hood body 14 and is integrated with the hood body 14. The nut member 15 is screwed into the male screw portion 9 of the reel sheet main body 5. By this screwing, the moving hood 13 is supported by the reel sheet body 5 so as to be movable in a direction approaching or moving away from the fixed hood 10.

  One end 4 a of the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is inserted into the opening 11 of the fixed hood 10 and is held between the fixed hood 10 and the mounting surface 7. The other end 4 b of the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is held between the bulging portion 16 of the hood main body 14 and the placement surface 7 by moving the movable hood 13 toward the fixed hood 10.

  Accordingly, the reel leg 3 is sandwiched between the fixed hood 10 and the movable hood 13 in the axial direction of the reel seat body 5 and has such a force that the reel leg 3 is pressed against the placement surface 7 through both the hoods 10 and 13. receive. As a result, the fishing reel is fixed to a fixed position of the reel seat body 5.

  The positional relationship between the fixed hood 10 and the movable hood 13 with respect to the placement surface 7 is not specified in the first embodiment. For example, the movable hood 13 may be disposed at the front end of the placement surface 7 and the fixed hood 10 may be disposed at the rear end of the placement surface 7.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when actually fishing, a fisherman holds the reel seat body 5 to which the reel legs 3 are fixed with one hand. Specifically, with the thumb f1 of one hand pressed against the cylindrical portion 8 of the reel sheet body 5, the reel sheet body 5 is grasped with the index finger f2, the middle finger f3, and the ring finger f4, and the little finger f5 is moved with the moving hood. 13 on the hood body 14. At this time, the index finger f2 is wound around the tubular portion 8 from below and is in contact with the fixed hood 10. The middle finger f3 and the ring finger f4 are wound around the reel sheet main body 5 to press the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 from below and sandwich the reel leg 3 therebetween.

  Therefore, the fisherman operates the fishing rod so as to wrap the fixed portion between the reel seat body 5 and the reel legs 3 with one hand.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a region of the reel sheet main body 5 that is gripped by a fisherman is covered with a grip member 20 that is softer than the reel sheet main body 5. The grip member 20 is made of a rubber-like elastic material such as a urethane-based, styrene-based, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer or synthetic rubber, which has an excellent fit when gripped with a hand and does not slip easily. It is also preferable to use a thermoplastic resin such as polyurethane and vinyl chloride.

  In the present embodiment, the grip member 20 is integrally molded with the reel sheet main body 5 using, for example, a two-color molding machine. Therefore, the reel sheet main body 5 and the grip member 20 are in close contact with each other.

  The grip member 20 is not limited to being molded by injection molding using a two-color molding machine, and may be molded by insert molding, for example. Further, after the reel sheet body 5 and the grip member 20 are individually formed, they may be bonded to each other.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the grip member 20 includes a main body portion 21 and an extension portion 22. The main body 21 has a cylindrical shape that continuously covers an area from the front of the fixed hood 10 to the opposite side of the mounting surface 7 in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet main body 5.

  The main body 21 has a first area 21a where the belly of the index finger f2 comes into contact with the hand of the reel sheet body 5, and a second area 21b where the palm, the fingertip of the middle finger f3 and the fingertip of the ring finger f4 come into contact. is doing.

  The first region 21 a is located immediately before the fixed hood 10. A plurality of first depressions 23 are formed in the first region 21a. For example, the first depressions 23 have a groove shape along the circumferential direction of the reel sheet main body 5 and are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the reel sheet main body 5.

  The second region 21 b is located on the opposite side of the placement surface 7. A plurality of second depressions 24 are formed in the second region 21b. The second depressions 24 are, for example, circular small depressions, and are distributed in a matrix over the wide area of the second region 21b.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the main body portion 21 has a pair of side portions 25 a and 25 b extending from the left and right side edge portions of the second region 21 b toward the placement surface 7. The extending part 22 has a strip shape that crosses the placement surface 7 so as to straddle between the side parts 25a and 25b.

  In other words, the extending portion 22 is positioned on the placement surface 7 along the circumferential direction of the reel sheet main body 5 and curved so as to follow the curvature of the connecting portion 4 of the reel sheet main body 5 and the reel leg 3. is doing. Therefore, at a position corresponding to the extending portion 22, the grip member 20 continuously surrounds the reel sheet main body 5 in the circumferential direction in cooperation with the extending portion 22.

  Furthermore, the extending part 22 covers only a part of the mounting surface 7 without covering the mounting surface 7 entirely. For this reason, the extending part 22 is located between the one end 4 a and the other end 4 b of the connecting part 4 of the reel leg 4 when the connecting part 4 of the reel leg 3 is fixed to the mounting surface 7.

  As best shown in FIG. 5, a fitting recess 27 is formed in a region covered with the grip member 20 on the outer surface of the reel sheet body 5. The fitting recess 27 is recessed in the same shape as the main body 21 so that the main body 21 of the grip member 20 fits tightly.

  According to the present embodiment, the thickness of the main body 21 of the grip member 20 and the depth of the fitting recess 27 are equal. As a result, the outer surface of the reel sheet main body 5 and the outer surface of the main body portion 21 are flush with each other, and there is no sense of incongruity when the reel sheet main body 5 is gripped by hand.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, line-shaped depressions 28 are formed at the boundary between the fitting recess 27 and the edge of the main body 21 and at the boundary between the main body 21 and the side portions 25a and 25b. . The recess 28 serves as an accent on the appearance of the reel leg fixing device 2 and also serves as a slip stopper.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fitting recess 27 of the reel sheet body 5 includes a recess 27 a located on the placement surface 7. The recess 27 a crosses the placement surface 7 in the radial direction of the reel sheet main body 5 so as to correspond to the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20. The extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 is fitted into the recess 27a.

  The extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 slightly protrudes from the mounting surface 7 in a free state where the reel legs 3 are removed from the mounting surface 7. The protruding height of the extending portion 22 is defined to be about 0.5 mm, for example.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the reel sheet main body 5 has a convex portion 29 protruding from the bottom surface of the recess 27a. The convex portion 29 is formed at a position corresponding to the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 and extends in the axial direction of the reel sheet main body 5.

  The extension 22 has a groove-like recess 30 that opens toward the bottom surface of the recess 27a. The convex part 29 and the concave part 30 fit into each other exactly. Thereby, the reel sheet main body 5 and the grip member 20 are relatively prevented from rotating.

  In order to fix the reel leg 3 of the fishing reel to the reel seat body 5, first, the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is guided to the mounting surface 7 of the reel seat body 5, and one end 4a of the connecting portion 4 is fixed to the fixing hood. 10 into the opening 11.

  Next, the nut member 15 of the moving hood 13 is rotated in the tightening direction. By this rotation, the hood main body 14 moves together with the nut member 15 in a direction approaching the fixed hood 10, and the bulging portion 16 of the hood main body 14 covers the other end 4 b of the connecting portion 4.

  In other words, the other end 4 b of the connecting portion 4 enters the opening 17 of the bulging portion 16. When the nut member 15 is further tightened in this state, the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is sandwiched between the fixed hood 10 and the movable hood 13 and is directed toward the placement surface 7 through both the hoods 10 and 13. Pressed.

  A part of the mounting surface 7 is covered with the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20. Since the extending portion 22 slightly protrudes from the mounting surface 7, when the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is pressed against the mounting surface 7 via the fixed hood 10 and the movable hood 13, the extending portion 22 is It is compressed between the reel sheet main body 5 and the connecting portion 4 and elastically adheres to the connecting portion 4.

  As a result, a frictional force capable of resisting an external load is applied to the contact portion between the connecting portion 4 and the extending portion 22 of the reel leg 3.

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the extending portion 22 of the soft grip member 20 crosses the placement surface 7 so as to extend along the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body 5. At a position corresponding to the protruding portion 22, the reel sheet main body 5 is covered with the grip member 20 over the entire circumference.

  Therefore, the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 can receive the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 on the circumferential surface continuous in the circumferential direction of the reel seat body 5, and the width dimension of the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 is small. In either case, both side portions of the connecting portion 4 do not protrude from the extending portion 22.

  Therefore, the reel leg 3 can be reliably received using the grip member 20, and in particular, the wobbling / displacement of the reel leg 3 in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body 5 can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the grip member 20 is softer than the reel sheet main body 5, it is easy to adjust to the hand, and the feel when the reel sheet main body 5 is grasped by the hand is improved. Therefore, in combination with the ability to prevent wobbling of the reel legs 3, the operability of the fishing rod when actually fishing is improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, since the grip member 20 is continuous in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet main body 5 at the position corresponding to the extending portion 22, peeling and lifting of the extending portion 22 from the placement surface 7 are prevented. Can be prevented. Therefore, the extending portion 22 can be reliably fixed at a fixed position on the placement surface 7.

  At the same time, the convex portion 29 protruding from the bottom surface of the recess 27 a of the reel sheet main body 5 extends in the axial direction of the reel sheet main body 5 and is fitted in the concave portion 30 of the extending portion 22. In addition, the fitting portion between the convex portion 29 and the concave portion 30 is pressed from the side opposite to the reel sheet main body 5 by the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 when the reel leg 3 is fixed to the placement surface 7. Therefore, the recessed part 30 is urged | biased toward the convex part 29, and the fitting state of the convex part 29 and the recessed part 30 is maintained.

  As a result, the extension portion 22 is reliably prevented from rotating with respect to the reel sheet body 5, and the extension portion 22 that receives the reel legs 3 can be prevented from being displaced in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body 5.

  In addition, the flexible grip member 20 is fitted in the fitting recess 27 on the outer surface of the reel sheet body 5. As a result, the relative position between the grip member 20 and the reel sheet main body 5 is accurately determined, and the shift of the grip member 20 in the axial direction of the reel sheet main body 5 can be reliably prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the first embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  For example, FIG. 9 discloses a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the configuration of the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 is different from that of the first embodiment. The other configuration of the reel leg fixing device 2 is the same as that of the first embodiment. For this reason, in the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20 has an outer surface 41 that faces the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3. A plurality of protrusions 42 are integrally formed on the outer surface 41. For example, the protrusions 42 extend in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 4 and are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the reel legs 3.

  The protrusion 42 is elastically crushed by the connecting portion 4 of the reel leg 3 when the reel leg 3 is fixed on the mounting surface 7. As a result, a sufficient contact pressure between the connecting portion 4 and the extending portion 22 can be secured, and the frictional force generated at the contact portion between the connecting portion 4 and the extending portion 22 increases.

  According to such a second embodiment, the reel leg 3 can be firmly received by the extending portion 22 of the grip member 20, and the reel leg 3 can be prevented from wobbling / displaced in the circumferential direction of the reel sheet body 5. Can be prevented.

  In the first embodiment, the convex portion and the concave portion that prevent the grip member from rotating are formed one by one on the reel sheet main body and the extending portion, respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of convex portions are formed on the outer surface of the reel sheet body with a space in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of concave portions are formed on the inner surface of the grip member with a space in the circumferential direction. You may make it fit mutually.

  According to this configuration, since the reel sheet main body and the grip member mesh with each other at a plurality of locations along the circumferential direction, the movement of the grip member in the circumferential direction with the reel sheet main body can be prevented more reliably, and the grip member and the reel sheet can be prevented. There is an advantage that a sense of unity with the main body is improved.

  Furthermore, a concave portion may be formed on the outer surface of the reel sheet main body, and a convex portion that can be fitted into the concave portion may be formed on the inner surface of the grip member.
