JP5700281B2 - Bat and fishing rod - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to the structure of a fishing rod (fishing rod), and more particularly to the structure of a bat employed in a fishing rod.

  A fisherman generally fishes using a fishing rod. The fisherman grips and operates the fishing rod, thereby manipulating the road line and the device and pulling in the fish that has been hit.

  By the way, when fishing from a ship or a shark, the fishing rod may fall as a result of the road line being pulled by the influence of wind, waves, tides and other factors. Therefore, some conventional fishing rods have a tail ring mounted on the bat (see Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1). By connecting a rope or the like to the tail ring, the fisherman can easily collect the dropped fishing rod even if the fishing rod is dropped.

  In general, in the case of a light tackle, a simple tail ring is attached to a fishing rod. Specifically, a cylindrical anchor protrudes from the rear end of the butt plug, and a through hole is formed in the side surface of the anchor (see Non-Patent Document 1). The tail ring is formed in a substantially C shape, and both ends of the tail ring are inserted into the through hole so as to sandwich the anchor from both sides.

  However, in the conventional fishing rod for light tackle, the butt ring protrudes from the rear end of the butt plug, so the limb ring and the anchor may be caught on the fisherman's clothes, and the fishing rod operation is hindered There was something to be done. Further, the tail ring that swings in accordance with the movement of the fishing rod may collide with the anchor, and an unpleasant strange noise may occur. Furthermore, the anchor and tail ring exposed to the outside of the fishing rod are easily corroded by seawater or the like, and are easily damaged by an external impact. When the anchor or the tail ring is corroded, these strengths are reduced and the appearance is deteriorated. In addition, since the tail ring is only bent into a C shape and inserted into the anchor, when the tensile force acts on the tail ring, the tail ring may come off the anchor.

  The present invention has been made based on such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bat and a fishing rod having a structure for securely connecting a tail rope or the like so as not to hinder rod action. .

(1) A bat according to the present invention includes a bat main body on which a fishing rod main body having a blank is supported, and a connection structure capable of connecting a rope to a rear end portion of the bat main body is formed . The coupling structure includes a frame having a cylindrical portion to the rear end of the bat body is fitted, the bat by the cylindrical portion of the frame continuous with Rutotomoni the opening aperture is formed in the rear end surface of the bat body A recess is defined in the body . Furthermore, a connecting bar extending along the radial direction of the bat main body by being spanned between a pair of insertion holes provided in the cylindrical portion is disposed.

  According to this configuration, the connecting bar is exposed through the opening on the rear end surface of the bat body. By connecting a rope or the like to the connecting bar, the fishing rod is held in actual fishing, and even if the fishing rod falls, the angler can collect the fishing rod by pulling the rope. Since the connecting bar is disposed inside the recess, it does not protrude outside the bat, and therefore does not hinder the rod action. For the same reason, the connecting bar is less likely to come into contact with or collide with other members (such as a stopper or a fisher's body), and is less likely to be damaged or corroded by seawater or the like. In addition, the connecting bar does not move like a conventional tail ring, so that no unpleasant noise is generated. Furthermore, since the connecting bar is disposed so as to extend in the radial direction in the recess, it is unlikely to come off even if a tensile force is applied as compared with a conventional tail ring.

  Since the recess is defined by the cylindrical portion of the frame, it is not necessary to process the recess with high accuracy in the bat body by processing the frame as a separate part. Moreover, since the said recessed part is divided by the said cylindrical part, manufacture of the said connection structure is easy, and the rigidity of the said connection structure improves. This connection structure is assembled, for example, in the following manner. A holding portion capable of fitting the frame into the rear end portion of the bat body is formed. At least one end face of the cylindrical portion of the frame is open, and a pair of opposed insertion holes are provided in the peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion. The connection bar is inserted into the pair of insertion holes, and the connection bar is placed over the pair of insertion holes. Both ends of the connecting bar are respectively fixed to the insertion holes by an arbitrary method. When the connecting bar is attached to the cylindrical portion, the connecting bar is fitted and fixed to the holding portion so that the open end of the cylindrical portion is located on the rear end side of the bat body. Since the internal space of the cylindrical portion communicates with the outside through the opening, a rope or the like can be connected to the connecting bar.

(2) In the bat according to the present invention, the connecting bar is arranged along a virtual arrangement line that is arranged in parallel to the virtual center line extending in the radial direction through the center of the bat main body and separated by a predetermined distance. It may be.

  In this configuration, since the connecting bar is offset from the virtual center line, the cross section of the bat body is divided into a first area having a large area and a second area having a small area across the connecting bar. When connecting a rope or the like to a connecting bar, a hook or the like is usually provided at the tip of the rope, and the hook is engaged with the connecting bar. The hook is inserted into the recess from the opening and is hooked to the connecting bar from the first region side having the large area. Thus, the operation | work which engages the said rope etc. with a connection bar becomes easy by offsetting a connection bar.

(3) The bat according to the present invention may be one in which the rear end portion of the bat body covers the peripheral edge of the opening and a cap that is smoothly continuous with the outer surface of the bat body.

  During fishing or when the fishing ground is moving, the fishing rod may come into contact with the surrounding rocky place or the like due to the carelessness of the angler. In particular, the rear end of the bat is frequently in contact with the surrounding rocks and is easily damaged. In this configuration, the opening peripheral edge of the rear end portion of the bat body is covered with the cap, so that the rear end portion of the bat is protected. Moreover, even if the cap is damaged, the cap can be easily replaced.

(4) A fishing rod can be formed by supporting a fishing rod body having a blank on the bat body. In this case, the fishing rod main body may be detachably supported by the bat main body, or may be provided integrally with the bat main body.

  According to this invention, even if a fishing rod falls, it can collect | recover rapidly. Further, since the connecting bar does not swing, no abnormal noise is generated. Furthermore, since the connecting bar does not protrude outside the bat, it does not hinder the rod action. For the same reason, the connecting bar is less likely to be damaged by impact and is less likely to deteriorate due to corrosion. In addition, since the connecting bar is curved and not attached, it is difficult to come off due to a tensile force.

The movable hood 49 is fitted with the reel sheet main body 45 and can slide along the axial direction 41. When the movable hood 49 is slid toward the fixed hood 48 while the reel is placed on the reel sheet main body 45, the legs of the reel are accommodated in the leg accommodating recesses provided in the movable hood 49 and the fixed hood 48, Retained.

  The nut 50 is provided side by side with the movable hood 49. As described above, the nut 50 is screwed into the male screw 54 of the reel sheet main body 45. When the nut 50 is tightened, the nut 50 pushes the end face of the movable hood 49, and the movable hood 49 slides along the axial direction 41 toward the fixed hood 48. As a result, the leg of the reel is clamped by the fixed hood 48 and the movable hood 49, and the reel is fixed on the reel sheet main body 45. The lock nut 51 is screwed into the male screw 54 and is juxtaposed with the nut 50. When the lock nut 51 is tightened, the nut 50 is fixed.

[Usage of fishing rod 30]

  Prior to actual fishing, a fishing rod main body 32 is attached to the bat 31. Specifically, the ferrule 36 of the fishing rod main body 32 is inserted into the bat main body 60, and the nut 37 is screwed into the reel seat main body 45 of the bat 31. Thereby, the fishing rod main body 32 is fixed to the bat 31, and the fishing rod 30 is assembled. In the fishing rod 30, since a connecting structure 80 is formed on the bat body 60, a rope or the like can be connected to the connecting structure 80.

  When a rope or the like is connected to the connection structure 80, the connection structure 80 is preferably connected to the rope or the like via a predetermined fastener or the like. In the present embodiment, a substantially J-shaped hook 20 is used as a fastener.

[Hook 20]

  As shown in FIG. 5, the hook 20 includes a hook body 21, a fixing lever 22, and a rope connecting portion 23. The hook body 21 is formed in a substantially J shape. A fixing lever 22 is provided at the proximal end of the hook body 21. The fixing lever 22 is rotatable about the base end side, and is elastically urged outward by a spring or the like toward the tip of the hook body 21. Therefore, when the fixing lever 22 is pressed toward the inside of the hook 20 by a force equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the fixing lever 22 rotates in a direction opposite to the biased direction, and the hook body 21 is , Temporarily opened. The rope connection part 23 is formed in a ring shape, and the tip of the rope 10 is attached to the rope connection part 23 by an arbitrary method.

[Connection of rope 10]

  The procedure for connecting the rope 10 to the connecting structure 80 via the hook 20 will be described below. The angler inserts the hook 20 attached to the tip of the rope 10 into the inner space 85 of the end plug 81 from the rear end of the bat body 60. As described above, in the internal space 85, the connecting bar 88 is disposed in the radial direction of the bat body 60 and is offset from the virtual center line 42 by the separation distance 44. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the internal space 85 is partitioned into a wide first region 93 and a narrow second region 94 by the connecting bar 88. The angler passes the hook 20 through the first region 93 and inserts the hook 20 to a depth where the tip of the hook 20 exceeds the connecting bar 88. Subsequently, the angler presses the fixing lever 22 against the connecting bar 88 and presses it. At this time, when the angler rotates the hook 20, the fixing lever 22 rotates around the base end side, so that the hook body 21 is temporarily opened. The angler causes the connecting bar 88 to enter the inside of the hook main body 21 from the gap generated by opening while maintaining the pressed state. When the pressed state is released, the hook body 21 is closed again. Through the above procedure, the connecting bar 88 and the hook 20 are engaged, and the rope 10 is connected to the connecting structure 80 via the hook 20.

[Effects of Embodiment]

  By connecting the rope 10 to the connecting bar 88, the fishing rod 30 is held in actual fishing, and even if the fishing rod 30 falls, the angler can collect the fishing rod 30 by pulling the rope 10 by hand. Can do. Since the connecting bar 88 is accommodated in the internal space 85 and does not protrude outside the bat 31, the connecting structure 80 does not hinder the rod action. For the same reason, the connecting bar 88 is less likely to be damaged by impact and is less likely to be corroded by seawater or the like. Further, since the connecting bar 88 does not swing, no unpleasant noise is generated. Furthermore, since both ends of the connecting bar 88 are supported by the first cylindrical portion 82 of the bat main body 60, it is difficult to come off due to the tensile force.

  In addition, since the internal space 85 is partitioned by the first cylindrical portion 82 and the second cylindrical portion 83 of the end plug 81, the internal space 85 in which the connection bar 88 is accommodated is easily formed, and the rigidity of the connection structure 80 is achieved. Is kept high.

  In addition, the first region 93 can be made wider than the second region 94 by offsetting the connecting bar 88 from the virtual center line 42. Therefore, even if the inner space 85 of the end plug 81 is somewhat narrower than the size of the hook 20, the angler can easily pass the hook 20 through the deep portion of the first region 93 and engage the hook 20 with the connecting bar 88. It becomes easy.

[Modification]

  In the above-described embodiment, the fishing rod 30 is separable into the fishing rod main body 32 and the bat 31. However, the fishing rod 30 may be formed integrally with the fishing rod main body 32 and the bat 31. Good. In that case, the blank 34 may extend to the vicinity of the rear end of the bat 31, and the end plug 81 may be fixed to the blank 34.

  In the above-described embodiment, the internal space 85 is formed by the end plug 81, but the internal space 85 may be formed by other methods. For example, the internal space 85 may be formed by directly processing the exterior ring 72.

  In the above-described embodiment, the hook 20 is used for the connection between the rope 10 and the connection structure 80, but many types of fasteners and connecting members that are used for general purposes can be connected to the connection structure 80. it can. Therefore, a fastener or a connecting member having a shape different from that of the hook 20 may be used.
