Description

The present invention relates to a reel leg fixing device mounted on a fishing rod and capable of mounting various fishing reels.

Conventionally, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a movable hood and a fixed hood that are separated from each other in the axial direction are provided, and one end of the reel leg is inserted into the fixed hood and the other end of the reel leg is moved in the axial direction. There is known a reel leg fixing device of a type in which a fishing reel is fixed by pressing with a moving hood. In this case, the fixed hood and the movable hood are arranged on a pipe-shaped reel seat attached to the outer periphery of the rod of the fishing rod, and the movable hood is rotated by rotating an operation nut arranged adjacent to the movable hood. Is moved toward and away from the fixed hood, whereby the fishing reel is attached and detached. Usually, the moving hood of the reel leg fixing device (hereinafter, also referred to as a hood portion) is often formed of a metal material, and a pad portion made of synthetic resin is arranged on a portion (the inner surface of the hood portion) with which the reel leg to be inserted abuts. I am trying to set it up.

By the way, recently, it has been required to reduce the weight of the fishing rod, and forming the hood portion with a metal material as described above impedes the reduction in the weight. For this reason, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses molding the hood portion with a synthetic resin.

No. 57-187064 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-65868

As described above, the reel leg fixing device causes the moving hood to approach/separate from the fixed hood by rotating the operation nut arranged adjacent to the moving hood. Connects the distal end of the operating nut to the base end of the moving hood, and when the operating nut is rotated in the tightening direction, moves the moving hood to the fixed hood side without rotating, and This is achieved by moving the moving hood away from the fixed hood without rotating the moving hood when the rotating operation is performed in the loosening direction. Then, in this case, the connection between the distal end portion of the operation nut and the proximal end portion of the movable hood generally forms an annular recessed portion at the distal end portion of the operation nut 18, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, It is formed by engaging a bent hook-shaped locking projection, which is provided in an annular shape at the base end of the moving hood, into the recess.

Therefore, in such a connecting portion between the operation nut and the movable hood, a large pressing force acts when the operation nut is tightened to press the reel leg between the movable hood and the fixed hood, and such a pressing force is applied. Even when the operation nut is loosened from the attached state and the moving hood is separated from the fixed hood, a large pulling force acts. Then, such a force causes stress concentration in the connecting portion, particularly in the bent portion of the hook-shaped locking projection of the moving hood, and the moving hood is deformed in the radial direction so as to separate the locking projection from the recess. Try to cause it at the proximal end of.

Therefore, when the moving hood is made of synthetic resin as disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, it is necessary to secure sufficient strength with this connecting portion, particularly the locking projection of the moving hood. That is, when the moving hood is made of resin for weight reduction, it is essential to secure sufficient strength at such a connecting portion that is likely to cause stress concentration. In some cases, the hood's locking projections may cause breakage. However, if the wall thickness is too large to secure the strength, the weight is increased, which results in the reverse trend of weight reduction. That is, in terms of weight reduction, it is desirable to make the thickness as thin as possible, and efficient and effective weight reduction including securing strength is desired.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and effectively and efficiently reduces the thickness and weight of the moving hood while ensuring sufficient strength at the connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood. It is an object of the present invention to provide a reel leg fixing device that can be achieved in a desired manner.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention axially moves a cylindrical moving hood having a bulging portion that bulges so as to form an opening capable of accommodating a reel leg of a fishing reel by an operation nut. In the reel leg fixing device, the operating nut and the moving hood are connected by engaging a bent locking portion provided at the end of the moving hood with a recessed portion of the end of the operating nut. In the reel leg fixing device, the moving hood is formed of a fiber reinforced resin material in which a reinforced fiber is impregnated with a synthetic resin, and an outer circumference of the fiber reinforced resin material located at a connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood or A reinforcing member that suppresses deformation of the moving hood at the connecting portion is provided on the inner circumference.

According to the reel leg fixing device having the above structure, the moving hood is formed of the fiber reinforced resin material in which the reinforcing fibers are impregnated with the synthetic resin, and therefore the strength is improved as compared with the case where the moving hood is formed of only the synthetic resin. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the thickness while ensuring necessary and sufficient strength. That is, it is possible to effectively and efficiently reduce the thickness and weight of the moving hood while ensuring sufficient strength.

Further, in the above-mentioned configuration, a reinforcing member that suppresses deformation of the moving hood at the connecting portion, particularly radial outward deformation on the outer or inner circumference of the fiber reinforced resin material located at the connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood. Since it is provided, sufficient strength can be secured at the connecting portion, and damage or the like at the connecting portion can be avoided. That is, as described above, when the operation nut is tightened or loosened, the fiber reinforced resin material is configured by the outward force in the radial direction based on the inherent pressing force or tensile force acting on the connecting portion of the moving hood. Depending on the amount and the directional direction of the reinforcing fibers to be ruptured, there is a possibility that breakage may occur at the site of the fiber reinforced resin material corresponding to the connecting portion. In order to resist, since the reinforcing member for suppressing the deformation of the moving hood at the connecting portion is provided on the outer circumference or the inner circumference of the fiber reinforced resin material located at the connecting portion, such breakage can be effectively prevented. ..

According to the present invention, there is provided a reel leg fixing device capable of effectively and efficiently reducing the thickness and weight of the moving hood while ensuring sufficient strength at the connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood. You will get it.

A fishing line guide 8 (the tip of the tip rod 7 is a top guide 8a) is attached. The fishing line guide 8 may be configured as a fixed guide that is fixed to the rod or a floating guide that is slidable along the rod.

The main rod 3, the middle rod 5, and the tip rod 7 are made of a fiber-reinforced resin material obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers (for example, carbon fibers or glass fibers) with a synthetic resin such as epoxy resin, It is configured as a tubular body or a solid body.

The reel leg fixing device 10 provided on the base rod 3 is provided with a fixed hood and a moving hood that moves in the axial direction, and the moving hood is pivoted with the reel leg of the fishing reel inserted in the fixed hood. The fishing reel is configured to be attached and detached by moving in the direction. In this case, the fixed hood may be on the tip side or on the base end side.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the reel leg fixing device 10 of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.
The reel leg fixing device 10 includes a reel seat main body (hereinafter, simply referred to as a main body) 11 that is formed in a tubular shape and is externally fitted to the main rod 3. The main body 11 is integrally formed of, for example, a synthetic resin, and has a mounting surface 12 on which the reel legs 71 of the fishing reel 70 are mounted, and a fixed hood 13 disposed on the tip side of the mounting surface 12. And a moving hood 15 arranged on the base end side of the mounting surface 12.

The fixed hood 13 is integrally formed with the main body 11 and includes a hood portion 13A that bulges to accommodate the tip side leg portion 71a of the reel leg 71. The tip side leg portion 71a of the reel leg 71 is a hood portion. It is inserted through the opening 13a of 13A. Note that the hood portion 13A may be formed separately from the main body 11 and integrated with the main body 11, similarly to the hood portion of the moving hood described later.

The movable hood 15 is configured to be movable in the axial direction, and includes a hood portion 15A formed separately from the main body 11. The hood portion 15A of the present embodiment includes a bulging portion 15a bulging so as to accommodate the base end side leg portion 71b of the reel leg 71, and a cylindrical portion 15b integrally formed on the base end side of the bulging portion 15a. Equipped with. That is, the bulging portion 15a has a shape that gradually rises as the circular arc area in the predetermined range on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 15b moves to the tip side, and the base end side leg portion 71b of the reel leg 71 has its shape. The bulging portion 15a is inserted through the opening 15c.

The pad member 16 is disposed inside the bulging portion 15a so as to be in pressure contact with the surface of the base end side leg portion 71b of the reel leg 71 to be inserted. The pad member 16 is a portion that is pressed against the surface of the base end side leg portion 71b of the reel leg 71 when the movable hood 15 is moved toward the fixed hood 13, and has a function of firmly fixing the reel leg 71. Have. That is, the pad member 16 is formed in a shape corresponding to the surface of the base end side leg portion 71 b of the reel leg 71, and the protrusion 16 a thereof is fitted into the hole 15 d formed in the bulging portion 15 a of the moving hood 15. By doing so, it is integrated with the inner surface of the bulging portion 15a.

A male screw portion 11a is integrally formed on the base end side of the main body 11, and an operating nut 18 that is moved in the axial direction by a rotating operation is screwed into the male screw portion 11a. The tip of the operation nut 18 is connected to the movable hood 15 (the cylindrical portion 15b of the hood portion 15A). It should be noted that the connection relationship here is that, when the operation nut 18 is rotated in the tightening direction, the movable hood 15 is moved to the fixed hood side without rotating, and the operation nut 18 is rotated in the loosening direction. It is sufficient that the movable hood 15 is moved in a direction away from the fixed hood 13 without rotating.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(a), an annular protrusion 18a is formed on an end edge 18e of the operation nut 18 on the cylindrical portion 15b side, and a locking protrusion 18f protruding outward in the radial direction is formed at the tip of the annular protrusion 18a. By forming the operation nut 18, an annular recess 18g is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the operation nut 18, and the end portion (base end edge) 15e of the cylindrical portion 15b of the moving hood 15 on the operation nut 18 side is radially inward. The operation nut 18 and the movable hood 15 are connected to each other by forming an annular locking protrusion 15f serving as a locking portion that is bent in a hook shape and protruding to the concave portion 18g. The connecting portion is indicated by reference numeral 20 in FIG.

According to the engagement (connection) relationship between the operation member 18 and the hood portion 15A (cylindrical portion 15b), when the operation nut 18 is rotated in the tightening direction, the operation nut 18 is screwed toward the fixed hood 13 side. At the same time, the movable hood 15 (the cylindrical portion 15b of the hood portion 15A) does not rotate, but is moved toward the fixed hood 13 side by the abutting relationship between the end edges 18e and 15e. That is, the reel leg 71 mounted on the mounting surface 12 is clamped and fixed between the fixed hood 13 and the movable hood 15. Further, when the operation nut 18 is rotated in the direction of loosening, the operation nut 18 is screwed in a direction away from the fixed hood 13, and the moving hood 15 (the cylindrical portion 15b of the hood portion 15A) does not rotate, and the locking projection is retained. It is moved in a direction away from the fixed hood 13 due to the engagement relationship between 15f and the recess 18g. That is, the reel leg 71 placed on the placement surface 12 can be removed from the fixed hood 13 and the movable hood 15.

The moving hood 15 (hood portion 15A) having the above-described configuration is a fiber-reinforced resin material obtained by impregnating a reinforcing resin (for example, carbon fiber or glass fiber) with a synthetic resin so that a certain strength can be maintained and the weight can be reduced. In the present embodiment, the prepreg sheet 40 (see (b) and (c) of FIG. 5) is formed. In this case, the prepreg sheet 40 has a sheet shape in which the reinforcing fibers are aligned in, for example, the axial direction, the circumferential direction forming 90° with respect to the axial direction, or the inclined direction forming an angle less than 90° with respect to the axial direction. Alternatively, it is formed into a sheet shape in which reinforcing fibers are knitted, and is made of a thermoplastic resin (for example, nylon, polypropylene, polyphenyl sulfide, thermoplastic polyurethane) or a thermosetting resin (for example, epoxy resin, phenol resin, polyester resin). ) Is impregnated as a matrix resin.

When the moving hood 15 is formed of the prepreg sheet 40, the moving hood 15 is obtained by winding the prepreg sheet 40 around a mandrel (not shown) formed in a predetermined shape, heating the mandrel to cure the synthetic resin, and then removing the mandrel. It is formed by decoreing. In this case, the mandrel has a large diameter so as to have a step for forming the bent portion 44 of the locking protrusion 15f of the movable hood 15 corresponding to the connecting portion 20 as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. And a small-diameter cylindrical part. Further, in order to bend the carbon fiber at the step and form the bent portion 44, a tightening tape (not shown) may be wrapped around the outer circumference of the prepreg sheet 40 to tighten the prepreg sheet 40. Further, the prepreg sheet 40 may be composed of a plurality of layers as shown in the figure in consideration of the shape and durability of the moving hood 15, and the arrangement (direction, knitting state, etc.) of the reinforcing fibers in each layer. ) Can be appropriately modified.

5A and 5B are perspective views (FIG. 5A) and side sectional views in which the moving hood 15 formed by the prepreg sheet 40 is connected (connected) to the operation nut 18 in this manner. ((B) of FIG. 5) is shown. This connection state has already been described with reference to FIG. 4B, and will not be described here.

In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the prepreg sheet 40 forming the moving hood 15 has a plurality of layers, and the reinforcing fibers 42 in each layer are oriented in the axial direction. Particularly, in this example, the layer of the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction at the connecting portion 20 (particularly the bent portion 44) is divided into two layers 40A and 40B in the radial direction. Such a two-layer structure is obtained, for example, by forming a predetermined shape and then cutting predetermined portions C1 and C2 on the inner surface of the prepreg sheet 40, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C. May be.

Further, in the present embodiment, the reinforcing member 60 that suppresses the radial deformation of the moving hood 15 at the connecting portion 20 is provided on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material (prepreg sheet 40) located at the connecting portion 20. .. Specifically, a metal ring-shaped member (metal ring) is formed on the outer periphery of the locking projection 15f of the moving hood 15 (on the side of the tip immediately before the bent portion 44 (toward the bulging portion 15a)). A reinforcing member 60 is fitted therein, and the reinforcing member 60 has a function of suppressing the radial deformation of the prepreg sheet 40 at this portion. That is, by disposing the reinforcing member formed of such a ring-shaped member, stress concentration does not occur at the portion of the connecting portion, and the locking projection 15f is also prevented from separating from the recess 18g. The reinforcing member 60 may be made of a prepreg sheet having reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction instead of the metal ring.

As described above, according to the reel leg fixing device 10 of the present embodiment, since the moving hood 15 is formed of the fiber reinforced resin material in which the reinforcing fiber is impregnated with the synthetic resin, the moving hood 15 is made of only the synthetic resin. The strength can be improved as compared with the case where it is formed, and therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the thickness while ensuring the necessary and sufficient strength. That is, with respect to the movable hood 15, it is possible to effectively and efficiently reduce the thickness and weight while ensuring sufficient strength.

Further, in the present embodiment, the movement of the moving hood 15 at the connecting portion 20 to the radial outside is formed on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material (prepreg sheet 40) located at the connecting portion 20 between the operation nut 18 and the moving hood 15. Since the reinforcing member 60 that suppresses the above is provided, sufficient strength can be ensured at the connecting portion 20, and damage or the like at the connecting portion can be avoided. That is, for example, when the reinforcing fibers 42 oriented in the axial direction are not continuous at the connecting portion 20 as in the present embodiment, specifically, as shown in FIG. When the layer of the reinforcing fiber oriented in the axial direction in 44) is divided into two or more layers 40A, 40B in the radial direction, the connecting portion 20 of the moving hood 15 is tightened or loosened when the operation nut 18 is tightened or loosened. The layers 40A and 40B separated in the radial direction may be fractured along the axial direction at the interface due to the radially outward force based on the inherent pressing force or tensile force acting on the In the configuration, in order to withstand such an action force specific to the connecting portion 20, deformation of the moving hood 15 at the connecting portion 20, especially on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material (prepreg sheet 40) located in the connecting portion 20, Since the reinforcing member 60 that suppresses the deformation outward in the radial direction is provided, such breakage can be effectively prevented.

FIG. 6 shows a side sectional view of the moving hood 15 of the reel leg fixing device and the operation nut 18 connected thereto according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, also in the present embodiment, a reinforcing member that suppresses deformation of the moving hood 15 in the connecting portion 20 to the outside in the radial direction on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material (prepreg sheet 40) located in the connecting portion 20. 64 is provided. Specifically, the reinforcing member 64 formed of a metal ring or the like is fitted to the outer periphery of the locking protrusion 15f of the moving hood 15 according to the first embodiment, more specifically, so as to straddle the bent portion 44. It is worn. Therefore, the reinforcing member 64 has a cylindrical portion 64a that extends in the axial direction on the tip side of the bent portion 44 and a bent flange 64b that extends radially inward from the bent portion 44. Such a reinforcing member 64 prevents the prepreg sheet 40 from being deformed radially outward and axially outward at this portion so that stress concentration does not occur at this portion, and therefore, the locking projection from the recessed portion 18g. It also prevents disengagement of 15f. The reinforcing member 64 may be formed of a prepreg sheet having reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction instead of the metal ring. The prepreg sheet having such reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction can also effectively suppress the deformation of the prepreg sheet 40.

FIG. 7 shows a side sectional view of the moving hood 15 of the reel leg fixing device and the operation nut 18 connected thereto according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the concave portion 18g' of the operation nut 18 is formed longer in the axial direction than the concave portion 18g of the first embodiment, and correspondingly, the movable hood 15 that is locked in the concave portion 18g'. The locking projection 15f' is also formed such that the base end side from the bent portion 44 is elongated in the axial direction. In such a configuration as well, the same operational effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained, and the connected state (locked state) of the connecting portion 20 becomes stronger, and the rigidity of the connecting portion 20 can be further increased.

Further, in this embodiment, in addition to this configuration, the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material (prepreg sheet 40) located in the connecting portion 20 is further suppressed from radially outward deformation of the moving hood 15 in the connecting portion 20. A reinforcing member 66 is provided. Specifically, a reinforcing member 66 formed of a metal ring or the like is fitted to the outer periphery of the locking projection 15f′ of the moving hood 15 (outer periphery from the bent portion 44 to the operation nut 18 side). 66 suppresses the radial deformation of the prepreg sheet 40 at this portion so that stress concentration does not occur at this portion. Therefore, the detachment of the locking projection 15f' from the recess 18g' is also prevented. The reinforcing member 60 may be made of a prepreg sheet or the like having reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction instead of the metal ring. The prepreg sheet having such reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction can also effectively suppress the deformation of the prepreg sheet 40.

FIG. 8 shows a side sectional view of the moving hood 15 of the reel leg fixing device and the operation nut 18 connected thereto according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated, in the present embodiment, in the moving hood 15, the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction is at least at the connecting portion 20 between the operation nut 18 and the moving hood 15 (for example, the moving hood via the bent portion 44). It extends continuously without interruption (almost the entire length of 15). In this case, the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction swells from the tip of the locking projection 15f (the end surface facing the radially inner side at the base end of the moving hood 15) via the bent portion 44 of the locking projection 15f. It extends continuously toward the portion 15a without interruption. The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the second embodiment shown in FIG. That is, the same reinforcing member 64 as that of the second embodiment is provided on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material located in the connecting portion 20.

As described above, in the connecting portion 20, the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction does not need to be divided into the two layers 40A and 40B, and the reinforcing fiber 42 may continuously extend without interruption. That is, instead of cutting the end portion of the laminated prepreg sheet 40 on the operation nut side (rather than forming a two-layer structure by cutting processing such as that shown in FIG. 5C), the end portion has a diameter. By bending inward in the direction, the locking protrusion 15f can be formed without cutting the reinforcing fiber 42. As described above, if the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction continuously extends at least at the connecting portion 20 between the operation nut 18 and the moving hood 15 where stress concentration easily occurs, the connecting portion 20 has sufficient strength. Therefore, the connecting portion 20 can be prevented from being damaged. In the prepreg sheet 40, it is preferable that the reinforcing fibers oriented in the axial direction continuously extend over substantially the entire length of the moving hood, which makes it possible to increase the strength of the entire moving hood. In this case, the reinforcing fibers oriented in the axial direction only need to be arranged in the region extending from the tip of the locking portion to the bent portion, whereby the rigidity with respect to the axial force and the twisting force can be increased.

FIG. 9 shows a side sectional view of the movable hood 15 of the reel leg fixing device and the operation nut 18 connected thereto according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, also in the present embodiment, as in the configuration shown in FIG. 8, the reinforcing fiber 42 oriented in the axial direction is at least at the connecting portion 20 between the operation nut 18 and the moving hood 15 (for example, in the moving hood 15). It extends continuously over almost the entire length). The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7. That is, the reinforcing member 66 similar to that of the third embodiment is provided on the outer periphery of the fiber reinforced resin material located in the connecting portion 20.

FIG. 10 shows a side sectional view of a moving hood 15 of a reel leg fixing device and an operation nut 18 connected to the moving hood 15 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the locking protrusions 15f and 15f′ protruding inward in the radial direction of the movable hood 15 are locked to the recesses 18g and 18g′ formed on the outer peripheral surface of the operation nut 18, but this embodiment In the configuration described above, the annular locking projection 15f″ protruding outward in the radial direction of the movable hood 15 is locked in the annular recess 18g″ formed on the inner peripheral surface of the operation nut 18. In this case, the annular locking protrusion 18f′ that projects radially inward from the tip of the operation nut 18 that forms the concave portion 18g″ is locked in the annular concave portion 15g formed on the outer peripheral surface of the moving hood 15. A reinforcing member 69 is provided on the inner circumference of the fiber-reinforced resin material located in the connecting portion 20 to suppress the deformation of the moving hood 15 in the connecting portion 20 to the outside in the radial direction. The shape may be a metal ring, or may be made of a prepreg sheet having reinforcing fibers oriented in the circumferential direction, and the reinforcing fibers 42 oriented in the axial direction are interrupted at the connecting portion 20. It may be extended continuously without being separated, or may be divided into two layers in the radial direction.Even in such a configuration, the same operation and effect as those of the respective embodiments described above can be obtained.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration and can be variously modified. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the forms of the moving hood and the operation nut, and the forms of the locking protrusions and the recesses are arbitrary, and the point is that the fiber reinforced resin material located at the connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood It suffices that a reinforcing member that suppresses the deformation of the moving hood at the connecting portion is provided at the portion. Note that such a reinforcing member may be provided on either the outer circumference or the inner circumference of the fiber reinforced resin material located at the connecting portion between the operation nut and the moving hood, and suppresses the deformation of the moving hood at the connecting portion. The shape, the constituent material, the arrangement mode, and the like can be appropriately modified as long as they are provided. Moreover, as the reinforcing member, a member other than the ring-shaped member may be additionally provided.
