Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a reel seat for fixing and holding a reel on a fishing rod, and more particularly to a reel seat having improved grip performance when gripping a reel body together with a fishing rod.

Conventionally, a reel seat is fixed to a fishing rod that uses a reel.For example, with a fishing rod or a lure rod, a reel that can easily perform a casting operation or a fishing line winding operation while grasping the reel body and the fishing rod with one hand. The seat is fixed. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a trigger is provided on the back side of the reel sheet opposite to the reel leg mounting surface, and the trigger is held between the little finger and the ring finger, or between the ring finger and the middle finger. By doing so, various operations can be easily performed while holding the fishing rod together with the reel body.

In addition, a curved surface is formed on the back side of the front of the reel seat so that the belly part of the index finger can be applied. The curved surface is formed over a range of approximately 180° when viewed in the axial direction, and the lower surface region is formed so as to gradually increase in diameter as it moves to the front side. Specifically, the curved surface has a shape in which both surfaces are substantially along the axial direction in a plan view, and has a slanted shape in which the diameter gradually increases as it moves to the front in a side view. Therefore, when the fishing rod is gripped together with the reel body, the abdominal region from the first joint to the second joint of the index finger can be applied without a feeling of discomfort.

Design No. 1348697

By the way, in recent years, in addition to the weight reduction of fishing rods, the reels (double-bearing type reels) attached to the fishing rods have also been downsized. When the reel attached to the fishing rod is downsized, the gripping position in the above state tends to shift to the front (the tip side) to some extent. Therefore, it is desirable that the reel sheet is configured such that the trigger formed on the back side can be held between the little finger and the ring finger, and can be firmly gripped in this state.

However, since the conventional reel seat as disclosed in the above-mentioned publication does not have a structure in which a desirable gripping/holding mode is taken into consideration when the mounted reel is downsized, the reel seat is actually When a small reel is attached to the reel seat, the finger that touches in the front area (the area where the curved surface is formed) does not fit comfortably, and the abdomen of the finger easily floats from the curved surface or is axially displaced ( It becomes slippery), and there is a problem that the grip performance is poor or the grip is poor. That is, conventional reel seats, including reel seats with triggers disclosed in the above publications, stabilize the abdomen of the middle finger and forefinger with a small reel attached and the reel body held together with a fishing rod. There is no idea to improve the grip by contacting them.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a reel seat that is comfortable to grip and that has improved grip performance even when a small reel is mounted and the fishing rod is held and held together with the reel. The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a reel seat fixed to a fishing rod according to the present invention is formed on a reel leg mounting portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is mounted, and on the back side of the reel leg mounting portion. And a main body having a trigger that allows a finger to be hung, the main body having a finger receiving surface formed of a curved surface that gradually bulges from a predetermined position on the distal end side toward the distal end edge. In the finger receiving surface, the bulging start position on the lower side in side view is on the tip edge side from the start of bulging on both sides in plan view, and the bulging height in plan view is side view. It is characterized in that it is not less than the bulge height at the time of doing.

In the reel seat having the above-described configuration, when the reel is gripped and held together with the fishing rod, the abdomen within the range from the first joint to the second joint of the middle finger (in some cases, the index finger), especially the abdomen area on the thumb side is , Abuts on a finger receiving surface formed by a curved surface that gradually bulges toward the tip edge. In this abutting state, the finger receiving surface has a lower bulging start position in the side view than a bulging start position on both sides in a plan view, and therefore the lower surface side bulging state is It is a mode that it rises more rapidly than the side surface bulge, and when gripping and holding, it effectively prevents the abdomen of the middle finger (or index finger) that abuts the lower surface from sliding firmly toward the front side. It becomes possible to do. In addition, the bulge height in plan view is set to be greater than or equal to the bulge height in side view, so that the abdomen of the middle finger (or index finger) when gripped is pulled out forward on both sides. It becomes difficult, and this improves the feeling of close contact on both sides and improves grip.

According to the reel seat of the present invention, when a small reel is mounted and the fishing rod is held and held together with the reel, the gripping comfort is good and the grip performance can be improved.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a reel sheet according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 4 are diagrams showing a configuration of an embodiment of a reel sheet according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view, FIG. 2 is a plan view, FIG. 3 is a rear view, and FIG. 4 is A of FIG. It is a sectional view taken along the line A. 5 to 7 are views showing a usage state in which a fishing rod (reel sheet) is held and held together with a reel, FIG. 5 is a side view, FIG. 6 is a rear view, and FIG. 7 is a front view. ..

The reel sheet 1 according to the present invention is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of a rod rod 70 on the base end side of a fishing rod (not shown) by adhesion or the like, and is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin member such as nylon or ABS. Equipped with. In the main body 10, cylindrical portions 11 and 12 are coaxially formed on the front side (the tip side) and the rear side (the rod end side), respectively, and the legs of the reel 80 are mounted between the both cylindrical portions. A reel leg placing portion 13 to be placed is formed. A through hole 15 having a circular cross section is formed in the main body 10 below the reel leg mounting portion 13 so as to penetrate in the axial direction. The through hole 15 penetrates the cylindrical portions 11 and 12 and has a linear shape. The rod rod 70 constituting the fishing rod is fitted into this portion and is fixed by an adhesive or the like.

Before and after the reel leg mounting portion 13, hood portions for tightening and fixing the reel legs of the mounted reel 80 are provided. In this embodiment, the front side is a rotary operation type movable hood and the rear side is a fixed hood. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear fixed hood 17 has an opening 17a for receiving a reel leg. It is integrally formed with the main body 10. In addition to the function of fixing the reel, the front movable hood is screwed into the male screw portion 11a formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 11, and the belly portion of the index finger is held in the gripping and holding state as described later. It is configured as a cylindrical tubular portion 19 (see FIGS. 5 to 7) that can come into contact.

The tubular portion (also referred to as a moving hood) 19 has an opening having a circular cross section, and when the tubular portion 19 is tightened rearward along the male screw portion 11a, the inner peripheral surface thereof and the front end of the reel leg mounting portion 13 are provided. A gap into which the reel leg is fitted is formed between the surface of the portion 13a and the surface of the portion 13a. That is, when the tubular portion 19 is tightened along the male screw portion 11a in a state in which the rear side of the reel leg is fitted into the opening 17a of the fixed hood 17, the front side of the reel leg has the front end portion 13a and the tubular portion 19 at the front side. The reel leg is clamped and fixed between the hoods 17 and 19, and the inner peripheral surface of the reel leg is clamped. Then, the reel 80 can be removed by rotating the tubular portion 19 in the opposite direction.

As will be described later, the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 19 is a portion against which the belly portion of the index finger abuts when the rod 70 (reel seat 1) is gripped and held together with the reel 80. It is preferable that a flexible member 19A such as a plastic elastomer, cork, or a urethane-based foamable member is adhered. Further, it is preferable to dispose the grip portion 18 to which the similar flexible member 18A is attached also on the cylindrical portion 12 on the rear side of the fixed hood 17.

The reel sheet main body 10 is provided with an abutting portion (tip edge of the finger receiving surface) 20 that abuts against the opening edge of the moving hood 19 when the moving hood 19 is tightened and restricts the rearward movement of the moving hood. ing. The contact portion 20 defines a boundary between the contact portion 20 and the moving hood 19, and the surface of the moving hood 19 contacting the contact portion 20 and the surface of the main body 10 of the reel seat 1 are substantially flush with each other. Is configured.

Here, the surface shape of the reel seat main body 10 on the lower side of the reel leg mounting portion 13 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the main body 10 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a trigger (finger hooking portion) 22 faces downward on the opposite side of the flat reel leg mounting portion 13. It is integrally formed so as to bulge out. When the fisherman holds and holds the rod 70 (reel seat 1) together with the reel 80 with one hand, the trigger 22 prevents the finger gripping the finger from slipping and prevents the fishing rod from sliding during casting. Fulfill the function of. Specifically, the trigger 22 has a shape that inclines forward as it moves from the proximal end to the distal end. In the present embodiment, the ring finger F4 is mainly applied to the front surface 22a, and the rear It is formed on the assumption that the little finger F5 is placed on the side surface 22b and grasped in this state (see FIGS. 5 to 7).

That is, when the reel 80 to be mounted is small as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the upper surface area including the thumb rest portion of the reel body is pressed by the abdomen on the tip side from the base area of the thumb F1 (hold deeply). Therefore, the position of each finger of the grasped hand tends to shift to the front side as a whole. In the present embodiment, in consideration of the size of such a small reel 80, the trigger 22 is formed at a position where it can be held between the ring finger F4 and the little finger F5, and gripping and holding properties are improved. Specifically, the main body 10 is formed so that the axial distance L1 between the abutting portion (tip edge) 20 and the tip P1 of the trigger 22 is 50 mm to 55 mm, preferably 52 to 54 mm. .. Thus, when the axial distance L1 is in the above range, when a fisherman having a general hand size grips the rod 70 (reel seat 1) together with the reel 80, the trigger 22 is set to the ring finger F4. While being pinched by the little finger F5, the middle finger F3 can be applied to the finger receiving surface 30 described later, and the abdomen of the index finger F2 can be applied to the moving hood 19 to which a flexible member is attached.

The surface of the trigger 22, in particular, the front surface 22a and the rear surface 22b are formed to have a curved cross section so that the ring finger F4 and the little finger F5 that come into contact with each other do not feel uncomfortable. It is preferable. The trigger 22 may be held between the middle finger F3 and the ring finger F4 depending on the angler's preference, the size of the reel to be attached, and the like.

Substantially elliptical openings 25 are formed on both side surfaces of the intermediate portion of the main body 10. The opening 25 is formed to reduce the weight as a whole and exposes the through hole 15. Therefore, when the rod 70 is inserted into the through hole 15, the outer surface of the rod 70 can be visually recognized through the opening 25. The shape of the opening 25 is not particularly limited, and the opening may not be formed.

Further, on the front side of the main body 10, there is provided a finger receiving surface 30 formed of a curved surface (inclined surface) that gradually bulges toward a tip edge from a predetermined position on the tip side. Here, the predetermined position means a position which is an inflection point where the surface of the main body starts to bulge when viewed from the front side in the axial direction, and grips the reel together with the rod (reel seat). When held, the abdomen (mainly the thumb side abdomen region) within the range from the first joint to the second joint of the middle finger F3 comes into contact. That is, when the surface gradually bulges from such a position toward the tip edge (preferably, bulges in a curved shape (inclined shape)), as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the first joint of the middle finger F3. To the second joint, the thumb side of the abdomen comes into contact with the front side in a regulated state, which affects grip comfort and operability (grip).

In the present invention, the finger receiving surface 30 starts bulging of the inclined surface 30b that bulges downward when viewed from the side, rather than the bulging start position P2 of the inclined surface 30a that bulges on both sides when viewed in a plan view. The position P3 is formed so as to be on the tip edge 20 side. That is, the bulge start that defines the tip edge 20 and the swelling inclined surface 30b is longer than the axial length L2 between the tip edge 20 and the bulge start position P2 that defines the swelling inclined surface 30a. It is formed such that the axial length L3 between the position P3 and the position P3 is shorter. In this case, the surface shape of the region from both side surfaces to the lower surface is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that both are continuous with a smooth surface (curved surface).

Regarding the above-mentioned inclined surfaces 30a and 30b, the bulging height H2 (see FIG. 3) of the inclined surface 30a in a plan view is the same as the bulging height H3 of the inclined surface 30b in a side view (see FIG. 1). (See) formed above. That is, the surfaces on both sides (the inclined surface 30a) and the lower surface (the inclined surface 30b) that form the finger receiving surface 30 are formed so that the inclined state of the inclined surface 30a is gentle and high, while the inclined surface is inclined. The inclined state of 30b is formed to be steeper and lower than that.

When the finger receiving surface 30 is configured as described above, when the reel is gripped and held together with the fishing rod (reel seat), the middle finger F3 (in some cases, the index finger) has a range from the first joint to the second joint. The abdomen, especially the thumb side abdominal region, comes into contact with the finger receiving surface 30 formed of a curved surface (inclined surface) that gradually bulges toward the tip edge in a state in which the forward movement is restricted. In this abutting state, since the finger receiving surface 30 has the bulging start position P3 on the lower side of the bulging start positions P2 on both sides on the tip edge 20 side, the bulging state on the lower surface side swells on the side surface side. It tends to stand up more rapidly than in the extended state, and therefore, when gripped and held, the abdomen of the middle finger F3 (or the index finger) that abuts on the lower surface firmly contacts the surface that rises rapidly and slides forward. Effectively prevented.

Further, since the bulging height H2 in plan view is formed to be equal to or more than the bulging height H3 in side view, the abdomen of the middle finger F3 (or the index finger) when gripped is on both side surfaces. It becomes difficult to slip forward, which improves the feeling of close contact on both sides and improves grip. That is, the abdomen of the middle finger F3, which is brought into contact with the finger receiving surface 30, can be brought into close contact with the abdomen, and the abdomen of the middle finger F3 in the grasped state has a large axial forward resistance on the lower surface (slope 30b) side. Since the middle finger as a whole receives the middle finger from the surface on both sides, it is difficult to shift forward on the bottom side, and as a result, the grip feeling when holding and holding is good and the grip performance is good. Can be improved. Further, even if the fishing rod is turned sideways or an operation such as shaking is performed, it is possible to grasp the fishing rod in a stable state from the trigger region to the region of the finger receiving surface 30. You can

Specifically, in the above-described configuration, L2 (the axial length of the bulging start position P2 that defines the leading edge 20 and the inclined surface 30a) is formed to be 17.5 mm, and the inclined surface 30a is formed. The height difference (bulging height) H2 of each is formed to be 6.9 mm. Further, L3 (the axial length of the bulging start position P3 that defines the tip edge 20 and the inclined surface 30b) is formed to be 14.7 mm, and the height difference (bulging height) of the inclined surface 30b is increased. H3 is formed to have a thickness of 5.2 mm.

Generally, the width of the abdomen of the middle finger of an adult is about 20 mm (almost covered in the range of 15 mm to 25 mm). In plan view, the side surfaces (inclined surfaces 30a) on both sides of the finger receiving surface 30 are gripped by abutting the abdomen of the middle finger so that they are sandwiched from both sides, so the length L2 of the inclined surface 30a in plan view is It may be in the range of 15 mm to 25 mm. That is, if the length of this L2 is too long (in a state where the slope is a gentle slope), it cannot be firmly sandwiched and becomes slippery, while if it is too short, a gap is likely to be formed between the abdomen. Therefore, the grip feeling when held is reduced (the abdominal contact feeling is poor), so in the present embodiment, it is set to 17.5 mm.

In addition, regarding the length L3 of the lower inclined surface 30b when viewed from the side, the close contact feeling and the sense of unity with the inclined surfaces 30a on both sides and the abdomen of the middle finger in the gripped state are unlikely to slide forward. It is preferable to form it so that it rises more rapidly than the inclined surface 30a (so that the bulging start position P3 of the inclined surface 30b is closer to the tip edge side than the bulging start position P2 of the inclined surface 30a). Is set to 14.7 mm, which is shorter than the length 17.5 mm of L2. In this case, if it is too short, the abdomen will hit more strongly, so it is preferable to secure 10 mm or more.

In addition, it is preferable that the height difference (height) between the inclined surfaces 30a and 30b is 5 mm or more. That is, if the height is 5 mm or more, it is possible to prevent the abdomen of the abutting middle finger (index finger) from coming out forward from the tip edge 20 on the side surface and the lower surface. However, if it is too high, the catching becomes strong and the grip property becomes poor, so it is preferable to set it to 10 mm or less.

Further, by setting the height H2 of the inclined surface 30a to be equal to or higher than the height H3 of the inclined surface 30b, it becomes more difficult for the both side surfaces of the portion sandwiched by the abdomen of the middle finger (index finger) to come out forward than the lower surface side. , The close contact is improved and the grip feeling can be improved.

In the above-described configuration, the inclined surfaces 30a and 30b of the finger receiving surface 30 may be formed so as to gradually bulge in a substantially linear shape as shown in the figure, but at least one of them is concavely recessed. You may swell in a state. For example, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3, the inclined surface 30a may be recessed (indicated by reference numeral 30a′), or as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the inclined surface 30b may be recessed (indicated by the reference numeral). 30b').
As described above, by curving both side surfaces and the lower surface of the finger receiving surface so as to be inwardly scooped, the finger contact is improved and the gripping and holding properties can be improved.

Further, the inclined state of the inclined surfaces 30a and 30b may be changed to a steep inclination as it moves to the tip side.
With this configuration, it is possible to effectively suppress the forward sliding of the abutting finger.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified. In the reel sheet 1 described above, the components other than the finger receiving surface 30 (the shape and size of the trigger, the uneven shape of the surface, etc.) are not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings and may be variously modified. It is possible. The rear side of the hood portion that fixes the reel leg may be a moving hood. Further, as for the finger receiving surface 30, it is sufficient that the inclined state of bulging on both side surfaces in plan view is looser than the inclined state of bulge on the lower surface side in side view. The surface shape can be appropriately modified.
