  FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a bat of a fishing rod equipped with an example of a fishing rod gimbal (hereinafter referred to as “gimbal”) according to the present invention. A fishing rod bat 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a gimbals 1, a rear grip portion 2, a reel seat portion 3, and a front grip portion 4 in order from the bottom of the rod. The longitudinal axis of the bat 10 is indicated by the symbol C. For convenience of explanation, the axis C direction is the front-back direction of the bat, the heel body (not shown) side is the front, and the gimbals side is the rear.

  The front grip portion 4 and the rear grip portion 2 are portions that the user grips to support the fishing rod, and have a substantially cylindrical shape. FIG. 1 schematically shows the reel 5 mounted on the reel sheet portion 3. For convenience of explanation, in the illustrated example, the reel 5 is assumed to be mounted directly above the vertical direction, and this direction will be described as the vertical direction. The gimbal of the present invention is also applicable when the reel 5 is not mounted directly above. The shape of the bat 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and the configuration of the front grip portion 4, the reel seat portion 3, and the rear grip portion 2 is not limited to the illustrated example.

  The material of the bat 10 is, for example, aluminum, titanium, carbon or the like, and the gimbal 1 is processed into a predetermined shape by a general cutting process.

  The gimbal 1 of the present invention is a component that can be attached to and detached from the rest of the bat 10. That is, the gimbal 1 can be attached to and detached from the rear end of the rear grip portion 2.

2A is an enlarged view of the gimbal in the fishing rod bat shown in FIG. 1 and its enlarged view, ie, a plan view thereof, and FIG. is there.
Fig.3 (a) is II-II sectional drawing of Fig.2 (a), (b) is an expanded sectional view of the state which removed the gimbal in (a).
4 (a), 4 (b), and 4 (c) are respectively a schematic III arrow view, an IV sectional view, and a V sectional view of FIG. 3 (b).

  The gimbal 1 includes a substantially cylindrical gimbal main body 1A and a mounting portion 1B protruding forward from the front end surface 1A1 of the gimbal main body 1A.

  The rear part including the rear end face 1A2 of the gimbal body 1A is formed with a locking structure for engaging with a locking pin 203 of a heel support such as the fighting belt 200 shown in FIG. Yes. The locking pin 203 is usually a cylindrical body having a predetermined diameter and length. The length of the locking pin 203 is larger than the diameter of the gimbals 1.

  The locking structure of the gimbal body 1A has an insertion groove 1E formed on the rear end surface 1A2 and a rotation space 1F. As shown in FIG. 4A, the insertion groove 1E is a groove having a predetermined width w extending between both ends of the diameter D along one diameter D on the circular rear end face 1A2. The width w of the insertion groove 1E is slightly larger than the diameter of the locking pin. Further, the length d1 of the insertion groove 1E shown in FIG. 3B in the direction of the axis C is also slightly larger than the diameter of the locking pin. Thereby, the locking pin can be inserted into the insertion groove 1E with an appropriate margin.

  Note that when the fishing rod butt is actually supported by the fighting belt, the operation is to engage the fishing rod's gimbals closer to the locking pins on the fighting belt worn by the user. For the sake of convenience, the locking pin may be expressed as being close to the gimbals. This merely represents that the locking pin and the gimbals are relatively close to each other, and is not essential. The same applies to the relative rotation of the locking pin and the gimbals.

  Further, a rotational space 1F is formed in the gimbal body 1A on the back side of the insertion groove 1E (that is, the front side of the shaft C). The rotation space 1F is a space that continues to the insertion groove 1E. The locking pin inserted into the insertion groove 1E can move to the front side of the shaft C and enter the rotation space 1F with the posture as it is. The length d2 in the direction of the axis C of the rotation space 1F shown in FIG. 3B is also formed slightly larger than the diameter of the locking pin.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the rotation space 1 </ b> F has a space in which the locking pin inserted from the insertion groove 1 </ b> E can rotate within a predetermined angle range α around the axis C. . This space extends between the boundary surfaces 1G1 and 1H1 and between the boundary surfaces 1H2 and 1G2 shown in FIG. 4 (c). Shape. Each of the boundary surface 1G1 and the boundary surface 1G2 is connected in the axis C direction on the same plane as each of both wall surfaces of the insertion groove 1E.

  The angle range α is preferably in the range of 30 ° to 90 °, but is not limited to this range.

  2 and 3, the mounting portion 1B protrudes from the front end surface 1A1 of the gimbal main body 1A toward the front of the shaft C. The diameter of the mounting portion 1B is smaller than the diameter of the gimbal body 1A. Further, the mounting portion 1B has a front screw portion 1B1 and a rear cylindrical portion 1B2. The screw portion 1B1 has a male screw formed around it. Furthermore, although it is optional, a hole 1C is formed along the axis C from the front end surface of the mounting portion 1B.

  The screw portion 1B1 can be screwed with a female screw of a screw hole 2B formed in the rear end portion 2A of the rear grid portion 2. Thereby, the gimbal 1 can be detachably mounted as a part of the bat 10.

  Preferably, the screw part 1B1 of the gimbal 1 and the screw hole 2B of the rear grid part 2 are provided as a left screw instead of a general right screw. That is, the gimbal 1 is provided so as to be tightened when turned counterclockwise and loosen when turned clockwise. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the gimbal 1 from being loosened by the torque around the axis applied to the bat 10 when fishing the fish. Further, in the screwing of the screw part 1B1 of the gimbal 1 and the screw hole 2B of the rear grid part 2, a locking prevention using a known lock nut mechanism may be employed.

  Further, a coil spring 1D is wound around the cylindrical portion 1B2 of the mounting portion 1B. By tightening the gimbals 1 against the rear grid portion 2, the coil spring 1D is compressed between the rear end portion 2A of the rear grid portion 2 and the front end face 1A1 of the gimbals body 1A. Thereby, the coil spring 1 </ b> D exhibits a lock function that prevents the gimbals 1 from loosening.

  FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C show a procedure for engaging the rod end of the fishing rod equipped with the gimbal of the present invention with the locking pin of the fighting belt. FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing only the gimbal body 1A in the fishing rod and the locking pin 203 in the fighting belt.

  When the user wearing the fighting belt stands, the fighting belt locking pin 203 is normally oriented in the horizontal direction. When the gimbal body 1A at the bottom of the fishing rod is to be engaged with the locking pin 203, the locking pin 203 is first inserted into the insertion groove 1E as indicated by an arrow in FIG. At this time, the longitudinal direction of the insertion groove 1E is parallel to the locking pin 203, that is, the horizontal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, after the locking pin 203 is inserted from the insertion groove 1E to the rotation space 1F in the back, the gimbal body 1A is rotated as indicated by an arrow.

  FIG. 5C shows a state where the gimbal body 1A is completely rotated with respect to the locking pin 203. FIG. That is, it is the state rotated to the upper limit of the rotatable angle range. Thereby, the longitudinal direction of the insertion groove 1E makes a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal direction (see the angle α in FIG. 4C). In this state, the locking pin 203 engaged with the gimbal body 1A is prevented from moving in the direction of the axis C. Therefore, even when a force for pulling the fishing rod is applied forward in the direction of the axis C, the locking pin 203 is not detached from the gimbal body 1A.

  In addition, when the reel 5 shown in FIG. 1 should be positioned right above the bat 10, in a state where the rotation is completed as shown in FIG. The position of the insertion portion 1E, the rotation range of the rotation space 1F, the screwing length of the mounting portion 1B, and the like are designed. Not only when the reel 5 is located directly above, but when the direction around the axis C of the reel 5 is determined, the reel 5 is directed in an appropriate direction when the gimbal 1, that is, the bat 10 is rotated. Design the Gimbal 1 However, in the case of a bat having a structure in which the orientation of the reel 5 around the axis C can be freely adjusted, the orientation of the reel 5 may be adjusted.

  The present invention further provides a fishing rod having the above-described fishing rod gimbals.

  The specific configuration of the fishing rod gimbals of the present invention described above is an example, and various modifications can be considered within the scope of the gist of the present invention. About the dimension of each site | part in the gimbal for fishing rods of this invention, it designs suitably and is not limited to a specific range.
