Description

  The present invention relates to a grip handle provided at the base of a fishing rod.

  On the base side of a general fishing rod (hereinafter referred to as “fishing rod”), there is provided a grip portion, that is, a grip handle mainly intended to prevent slipping when gripped by hand. The shape of the grip handle varies greatly depending on the use of the fishing rod.For example, in a fishing rod that is used with a reel, the handle is held on the outer peripheral surface relatively long before and after the reel because the buttock is sandwiched by the side when holding it. ing. On the other hand, the grip handle of a fishing rod used in mountain streams, swamps, etc. is usually assumed to be gripped with one hand, and thus is provided on the outer peripheral surface with a length about the size of the hand.

  A general grip pattern is formed so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the heel with an elastic member made of a resin material, a rubber material, a cork material, a sponge material, or the like. Of these, the surface of the resin or rubber material is roughened. Since fishing rods are held for a long time, various devised shapes such as ease of gripping and less fatigue are proposed. In these grip patterns, for example, in Patent Document 1, a cord material (yarn) made of synthetic fiber is braided into a flat cross-sectional shape on the outer peripheral surface of a urethane rubber core member, and a resin is infiltrated into the cord material. A grip pattern with a solidified grip structure has been proposed.

JP 2008-17791 A

The grip pattern of the fishing rod from the user is required not to slip even when gripped with a wet hand, to be easy to grip, to have good operability and feel, and to be less fatigued.
In addition, in a grip pattern in which yarns are braided, depending on the material of the fibers forming the yarns, the yarn twisting form (twisting pitch), or the weave interval, If you hold the grip handle while the kneaded food is on your hands, it will be clogged in the yarn and the weave, and it may not be enough to wash off after washing.

  As described in Patent Document 1, as the texture of the string material (yarn) is filled with a soft resin or the like and flattened, the grip feel becomes easier and the washing becomes easier, but the fish is more slimy. Or if your hands are wet with water, it becomes slippery. On the other hand, knitting with one type of thick and hard yarn increases the anti-slip function and does not impair the operability, but the grip feel is poor.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a fishing rod having a grip pattern that has a plurality of texture patterns of yarns that are difficult to slip due to changes in surface irregularities, has a good hand grip feeling, and further reduces fatigue due to hand holding. Objective.

  In order to achieve the above object, a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a cylindrical outer peripheral surface of a base portion of a fishing rod to define an outer shape and a plurality of different diameters on the substrate. Provided is a grip pattern composed of a braided layer in which yarns are knitted and wrapped using different numbers of pairs.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing rod having a grip pattern that has a plurality of texture patterns of yarns that are difficult to slip due to a change in surface unevenness, has a good hand grip feeling, and further reduces hand holding fatigue. Can do.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an example in which the grip handle according to the present embodiment is applied to a so-called spatula rod used for herabuna fishing among a variety of fishing rods.
The grip handle 2 of the fishing rod 1 has a hook shape that draws a gentle curve on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion of the rod body 1 so that it can be easily gripped with a finger, so that the center side is slightly thicker than the front and rear ends. It is provided in the taper shape where the front end side becomes thin. These shapes are realized by, for example, the shape of the base material 3 made of a flexible member having desired elasticity, and are wrapped so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the base portion.

  The base material 3 is an element of the ease of gripping the grip handle and the operability of the fishing rod, and is formed of a flexible member according to the design concept. This member is preferably a member made of a resin material or a rubber material, for example. Moreover, you may comprise the base material 3 combining these members. As a separate body, the base material 3 may be formed in a cylindrical shape and fitted from the buttock side, or may be formed in a belt shape and wound and fixed. It is also possible to directly mold the fishing rod 1 with resin. Further, a bottom plug member 18 is fitted into the rear end portion of the base 3 at the hollow rod end of the fishing rod 1.

  To cover the surface of the base material 3, for example, a plurality of yarns 5 are used to cover with a braided layer knitted so as to cross obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod, and applied or penetrated into the braided layer The made synthetic resin, adhesive, etc. are solidified. The yarn 5 is formed, for example, by twisting a fiber material such as polyamide-based synthetic fiber (for example, nylon (registered trademark)), vinylon, polyester, wool, and cotton yarn. In this embodiment, different soft yarns with different diameters are used in combination.

  In FIG. 2, the weave pattern of the yarn in the braided layer covering the grip handle of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a weave pattern in the AA cross section shown in FIG. In the following description of the weave pattern, “step” indicates the number of stacks in the overlapping direction (the radial direction of the fishing rod), and “column” indicates the number of rows arranged in the circumferential direction.

  In this embodiment, two types of yarns 6 and 7 having different diameters and materials (or materials) are used as the yarns 5. Here, the yarn 6 is a yarn having a diameter about 2-3 times thicker than the yarn 7 and having flexibility, and for example, vinylon (or wool yarn) is applied. The yarn 7 is a yarn having a diameter smaller than that of the yarn 6 and having a waist (having rigidity). For example, nylon is applied. As the diameter, yarn 6: yarn 7 is used as 2 to 3: 1. Of course, the ratio of the diameters is not limited and can be appropriately changed depending on the characteristics of the yarn.

  The weave pattern of the present embodiment is a pattern in which warps and wefts cross each other diagonally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod, and ridges are formed in the diagonal direction. The weave pattern can be produced by changing the number of rows in the yarns 6 and 7, the number of steps, and the arrangement order, for example, a pattern arranged in the row direction without any height difference, A pattern having a concave portion and a pattern having a convex portion can be created. By combining these, as shown in FIG. 3, a continuous pattern is formed over the entire outer periphery of the fishing rod.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the yarn 6 has a diameter twice that of the yarn 7. Here, as a specific example, four weave patterns 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d are shown.
Pattern 2a is composed of six rows 7 in three rows and two rows and one yarn 6 in one row and one row. The pattern 2a is an arrangement of flat and different yarns and fits when gripped by hand. Create a feeling. The pattern 2b is composed of three rows and one row of yarns 7 and two yarns 6 of one row and one row arranged on both sides of these yarns 7. To give a non-slip function. The pattern 2c is composed of two yarns 6 in two rows and one row and yarns 7 arranged in one row on both sides thereof, and has a flexible convex portion, giving a feeling of being caught on the top of the convex portion. Produces high anti-slip function. This convex portion is formed by the intersection of the yarns 6. The pattern d has a configuration in which two yarns 7 are arranged in two rows and one row, and the width of the pattern 2a is narrowed. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1 and shows a weave pattern other than that shown in FIG.

  When a plurality of yarns having different diameters and / or different materials are used, it is possible to repeatedly knit only one weave pattern. However, this embodiment is basically composed of a plurality of different weave patterns by using a plurality of yarns having different diameters and adjusting the ratio of the number of thin and large diameter yarns to be used. It is assumed that. For this reason, the height difference in the unevenness can be set freely, and in particular, the line connecting the convex portion and the concave portion can be adjusted gently, and the grip feeling can be improved. Furthermore, it is premised on that the yarn having the top of the convex portion that comes into contact with the hand most strongly is knitted on the base material 3 so as to be formed with irregularities having different heights and different pattern widths.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, manufacture of the yarn weave pattern of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 shows an arrangement example of yarns drawn from a bobbin (not shown) when viewed from the AA cross-section direction shown in FIG. The bobbins for supplying the respective yarns are configured such that all the yarns can be moved to an inner position and an outer position in a radial direction (for example, an arrow shown in the yarn 6b) by a moving mechanism (not shown). The bobbins on which these yarns are wound are divided into two groups and rotated in directions (CW, CCW) crossing each other by a rotation mechanism (not shown). When these groups pass each other, each bobbin has a texture. According to the pattern, the yarn moves to either the inner position or the outer position, and the yarns are crossed to form a braided layer of yarn on the base material 3 of the fishing rod. The used braiding device uses a known mechanism, and is configured to braid a fishing rod attached to the center.

  In this embodiment, the example using 6 yarns 6a-6f and 18 yarns 7a-7k, 7m-7s among 24 yarns is shown. In principle, the ratio is set such that the proportion of the finer and more rigid yarn 7 in the total number of yarns is high. Here, it is divided into a first group of yarns 6a to 6c and yarns 7a to 7i, and a second group of yarns 6d to 6f and yarns 7j to 7k, 7m to 7s. The yarn is rotated in a direction crossing each other, knitted on the base material 3 and covered with a braided layer.

  When the knitting of the yarn is completed, the braided layer is resinized from the surface so that the weave is not buried and the flexibility of the yarn is not impaired in consideration of wear resistance and hydrophilicity (water repellency). The member or adhesive member is solidified by coating or infiltration. By this solidification, the braided layer not only fixes each yarn, but also realizes waterproofness and wear resistance. Furthermore, clogging into the yarn such as the above-mentioned komase or kneading can be prevented, and clogging into the weave can be easily washed away.

  In the present embodiment, the knitting by the yarn is knitted so as to cross in the oblique direction, but of course, the knitting is not limited, and the knitting by the plain weave or the satin weave is also possible. In these cases, the number of warps and wefts is set as appropriate, and the combination of the diameter and material type (nylon yarn, vinylon yarn, etc.) in the yarn and the arrangement order thereof are appropriately selected according to the design.

  The grip pattern according to the present embodiment described above can enhance the anti-slip function by the yarns in which the knitted texture patterns are irregularly arranged and have different pattern widths and height differences (unevenness or flatness). Further, the yarn 6 forming the convex portion that gives a touch to the hand has flexibility, and a fit feeling that the touch is softly crushed when gripped by the hand is generated. In addition, by setting the ratio of the thin and stiffer yarn 7 in the total number of the plurality of yarns to be higher, different concave portions are easily formed and the braided state is easily maintained.

Since the slip between the fishing rod and the finger or palm is suppressed, it can be gripped even if the gripping force is weakened, and fatigue is suppressed when the fishing rod is gripped for a long time. Further, since the yarn 7 is interposed between the yarns 6, the positional deviation of the yarn 6 is prevented and the operability is prevented from being impaired.
In the present embodiment, the plurality of texture patterns are knitted so as to be repeatedly arranged irregularly. However, the plurality of texture patterns may be arranged in advance in order.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the production of the yarn weave pattern of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 shows an arrangement example of yarns drawn from a bobbin (not shown) when viewed from the AA cross-sectional direction shown in FIG.
The yarn in the first embodiment described above is an example in which two different diameters of different materials are used in combination. However, the yarn is not limited to two diameters, but three or more different diameters. May be used. In this embodiment, it is an example which forms the braided layer using the yarn of three different diameters. In this example, the yarn 8 (8a to 8h) having an intermediate diameter between the diameter of the yarn 6 and the diameter of the yarn 7 is used.

  In the present embodiment, an example using four yarns 6a to 6d, eight yarns 8a to 8h, and twelve yarns 7a to 7k, 7m among 24 yarns is shown. Yes. Of these yarns, the yarn 7 is thinnest and has rigidity. The yarn 8 is a yarn having a diameter about twice as large as the yarn 7 and more flexible than the yarn 7. The yarn 6 is a yarn having a diameter about twice as large as the yarn 8 and having the most flexibility. As materials for these yarns, for example, the yarn 7 may employ nylon yarn, the yarn 8 may employ wool (or vinylon), and the yarn 6 may employ vinylon. Using these yarns, as in the first embodiment, the respective yarns are crossed obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod, and a desired weave pattern is knitted on the substrate 3.

  In addition, even if it employs a plurality of yarns made of the same material (material) and having different diameters, it can be realized. For example, when the ratio of the number of thick yarns 6 to thin yarns 7 is set to 1: 3, 6 yarns 6 and 18 thin yarns 7 are set in a total of 24 pairs. By this combination, the same effect can be obtained by irregularly knitting the plurality of texture patterns described above. However, paying attention to the flexibility and rigidity of the yarn, an appropriate yarn material is selected by selecting the material for the grip feeling and the operability of the heel.

  In the present embodiment, an example using three different diameter yarns was used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to use three or more different diameter yarns. You can get. Further, in the embodiment, the example applied to the spatula has been described, but it can be easily applied to other fishing rods such as a reel fishing rod on which a reel is mounted. In particular, since the grip portion provided on the tip side of the reel mounted on the reel rod is a portion to be gripped when operating the handle of the reel, an anti-slip function is required. By applying the grip handle of the present invention to the grip on the tip side, the grip feels well and the anti-slip function can be used to suppress the movement of the rod due to the rotation of the reel handle and the movement of the rod due to the hooked fish. Therefore, necessary grip strength is reduced, fishing rod operation is easy, and fatigue can be reduced.

According to the present embodiment described above, since the yarns having three different diameters are used, the variation range of the unevenness difference can be increased, and more texture patterns can be realized.
Moreover, the softness | flexibility of the material employ | adopted for a thread | yarn and the condition of a touch can be set suitably. In particular, because different weave patterns can be partially formed in the grip handle, the operability is higher and the more flexible yarn is more surface in the portion where more rigid yarn is exposed on the surface. The feel of grip is improved in the exposed part. By selecting the texture pattern in this way, it is possible to realize different operability and grip feeling for each part in the grip pattern. For example, more rigid yarn is exposed on the part where the fingertip is applied to improve the operability, and more flexible yarn is exposed on the part where the palm comes in contact to improve the grip feeling. can do.
