FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a configuration of a fishing rod provided with a surface structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, fiber cloths 20 and 30 are fixed on the surface of a fishing rod main body (base material) 10 in order to express characters, patterns and patterns. As the fiber cloth, a belt-like fiber cloth (one or more fiber cloths) extending along the circumferential direction of the fishing rod so as to cover the outer periphery of the fishing rod can be used.
The base material 10 and fiber cloths such as fiber cloths 20 and 30 form a surface structure according to an embodiment.

  The base material 10 is formed, for example, by winding a fiber reinforced prepreg sheet impregnated with a synthetic resin for fiber reinforcement around a cored bar and then performing steps such as curing and decentering. The base material 10 may have either a hollow structure or a solid structure. FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which the base material 10 includes a plurality of fibers extending along the horizontal direction as an example. Moreover, the base material 10 may include a coating (decoration) layer (not shown) provided thereon.

The fiber cloths such as the fiber cloths 20 and 30 are formed into a sheet shape using fibers such as glass fibers and carbon (carbon) fibers. The fiber cloth is i) a normal fiber cloth having a structure in which a plurality of fibers are arranged so as to extend along the same direction, ii) a woven shape (a plain woven shape, a traverse shape, a triaxial shape, a tetraaxial shape, etc. Including) fiber cloth and the like.
Further, the fiber cloth may be colored with a pigment or the like in an arbitrary color.

  The fiber cloths 20 and 30 shown as specific examples of the fiber cloth in FIG. 1 are formed by patterning a sheet-like fiber cloth.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a surface structure including the fiber cloth 20 and the substrate 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the surface structure according to one embodiment includes a base material 10 made of fiber-reinforced plastic and a fiber cloth 20 disposed on the base material 10. The fiber cloth 20 is fixed to the base material 10 by containing the resin flowing out from the base material 10 inside (between fibers).
The end face of the fiber cloth 20 is covered with the resin 12 that has flowed out of the base material 10. The resin 12 forms a curved surface between the surface of the substrate 10 and the surface of the fiber cloth 20.

The fiber cloth 20 may include fibers extending in a direction different from the extending direction of the fibers included in the substrate 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 10 can have a plurality of fibers extending along the horizontal direction, and the fiber cloth 20 can be a plain-woven fiber cloth. That is, the fiber cloth 20 includes a plurality of fibers extending in the vertical direction in addition to the plurality of fibers extending in the horizontal direction. Thereby, the fiber cloth 20 can have an appearance different from the exposed surface of the substrate 10.

  The surface structure shown in FIG. 2 may include a protective layer 40 that continuously covers the fiber cloth 20 and the exposed surface of the substrate 10. The protective layer 40 is made of, for example, a material obtained by removing a pigment from a paint.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a surface structure including the fiber cloth 30 and the base material 10 illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the surface structure according to an embodiment includes a base material 10 made of fiber reinforced plastic and a fiber cloth 30 disposed on the base material 10. The fiber cloth 30 is fixed to the base material 10 by containing the resin flowing out from the base material 10 inside (between fibers).

  The fiber cloth 30 includes a first fiber cloth 32 and a second fiber cloth 34 that sequentially overlap the base material 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the first fiber cloth 32 is, for example, a colored fiber cloth, and the second fiber cloth 34 is, for example, a plain-woven fiber cloth. The first fiber cloth 32 has an appearance different from the exposed surface of the base material 10 by being colored in a color different from that of the base material 10, for example. The second fiber cloth 34 includes fibers extending in a direction different from the extending direction of the fibers included in the substrate 10. Specifically, in addition to the plurality of fibers extending in the first direction inclined by about 45 degrees in the horizontal direction, the second fiber cloth 34 extends in the second direction inclined by about 90 degrees in the first direction. It also includes a plurality of extending fibers. Thereby, the fiber cloth 20 can have an appearance different from the exposed surface of the substrate 10.

  The end face of the fiber cloth 30 is covered with the resin 14 that has flowed out of the base material 10. Specifically, the resin 14a forms a curved surface between the surface of the substrate 10 and the surface of the first fiber cloth 32, and the resin 14b is formed between the surface of the first fiber cloth 32 and the second fiber cloth 32. A curved surface is formed between the surface of the fiber cloth 34.

  The surface structure shown in FIG. 3 may include a protective layer 40 that continuously covers the first fiber cloth 32, the second fiber cloth 34, and the exposed surface of the substrate 10. .

  In one embodiment, the first fiber cloth 32 may include carbon fibers, and the second fiber cloth 34 may include glass fibers. Accordingly, the second fiber cloth 34 functions like a lens, and the appearance of the first fiber cloth 32 is changed by the lens effect of the second fiber cloth 34. On the other hand, as another embodiment, the first fiber cloth 32 may include glass fibers, and the second fiber cloth 34 may include carbon fibers. Thereby, the 1st fiber cloth 32 functions like a lens, and the 2nd fiber cloth 34 can have the external appearance which seems to float according to the lens function of the 1st fiber cloth 32.

Further, as a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, the first fiber cloth 32, the second fiber cloth 34, and the fiber cloth 30 that sequentially overlap the base material 10, and And a third fiber cloth 36. In this example, the end face of the third fiber cloth 36 is covered with the resin 14 c that has flowed out of the base material 10. The resin 14 c forms a curved surface between the surface of the second fiber cloth 34 and the surface of the third fiber cloth 36.
In this modification, each of the first fiber cloth 32 to the third fiber cloth 36 may include any fiber such as glass fiber and carbon fiber, and may be colored.

Next, a method for manufacturing the surface structure shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described.
First, the fiber cloth 12, 32, 34, 36 having a desired shape is formed by performing pattern removal on the sheet-like fiber cloth. These fiber cloths are arranged so as to sequentially overlap the substrate 10. For example, a molding tape such as polyester is spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the base material 10 on which these fiber cloths are arranged. The base material 10 around which the molding tape is wound is fired.

By this firing, the resin contained in the base material 10 flows out from the surface of the base material 10 to the outside, and flows into the inside (between fibers or interweave) from the bottom surface of the fiber cloth. Moreover, the resin contained in the inside of the base material 10 flows into the inside from the end surface of the fiber cloth. Resin heading from the substrate 10 toward the end face of the fiber cloth forms the resins 12, 14a, 14b, and 14c shown in FIGS. The resin contained in the inside of the base material 10 flows into the inside of the fiber cloth and is cured, whereby the fiber cloth is fixed to the base material 10.
Thereafter, the molding tape is peeled off. In addition, the protective layer 40 which covers the base material 10 and the fiber cloth continuously is provided as needed.

Next, specific examples of combinations of the appearance of the substrate 10 and the appearance of the fiber cloth will be described with reference to the following table. In addition, the angle shown in Table 1 means an angle formed by the fibers included in the base material or fiber cloth with respect to the extending direction of the fishing rod, that is, the horizontal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1).

  About the combination 1, the base material 10 contains the some fiber extended along a horizontal direction, for example, one fiber cloth is formed in plain weave form. For the combination 2, the base material 10 includes a plurality of fibers extending in the vertical direction, and the fiber cloth is formed in a plain weave shape. For combination 3, the substrate 10 includes a plurality of fibers extending along the horizontal direction, and the fiber cloth includes the first fibers in addition to the plurality of fibers extending in a first direction inclined by about 45 degrees in the horizontal direction. It also includes a plurality of fibers extending in a second direction inclined about 90 degrees in the direction. Thus, the fiber cloth has a different appearance from the exposed surface of the substrate by including fibers extending in a direction different from the extending direction of the fibers included in the substrate.

  In addition, although only one fiber cloth is included in Table 1, when another fiber cloth arranged above or below this one fiber cloth is used, the other fiber cloth is a base material. It is possible to include a fiber extending in a direction different from the extending direction of the fiber included in (which may of course be the same direction).

  In Table 1, only three combinations are shown as specific examples, but the angle formed by the fibers contained in the base material 10 or the fiber cloth with respect to the extending direction of the fishing rod can be appropriately set. It is.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the fiber cloth having an appearance different from the exposed surface of the base material is fixed on the base material constituted by the fiber reinforced plastic by using the resin flowing out from the base material. By doing so, since the fiber cloth is integrally molded with the base material, the adhesion between the fiber cloth and the base material can be made very good. Moreover, since the fiber cloth has a higher surface hardness than the seal described in the above-mentioned patent document, the fiber cloth has high impact resistance and is not easily damaged.
Moreover, the 1 or more fiber cloth arrange | positioned on a base material can express an uneven | corrugated pattern with high adhesiveness. Furthermore, one or more fiber cloths can be combined with the color of the base material and the type of fiber constituting the base material and the extending direction by combining the type, color, and extending direction of the fiber composing them. Thus, various appearances can be expressed. These various appearances have a sense of unity that cannot be expressed by a technique using a seal as described in the above patent document.
