The structure of the first fixing member 13 that adjusts and fixes the angles of the first shaft 11, the second shaft 12, and the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 12 is not limited to such a structure.

The leg member 14 is a member provided on the first shaft 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the leg member 14 is attached to the first shaft 11 and is in contact with the base 80 on which the electric reel 40 is placed. The first shaft 11 is supported by the leg member 14. Therefore, even when the tip of the tip rod 60 is pulled downward, the electric reel 40 to which the first shaft 11 is attached is unlikely to fall forward. In other words, the leg member 14 touches the base 80 to form a fulcrum for supporting the first shaft 11, and the electric reel 40 is less likely to fall forward.

In this embodiment, the leg member 14 is arranged closer to the base end portion connected to the second shaft 12 than the intermediate portion of the first shaft 11. Since the leg member 14 is arranged closer to the base end portion connected to the second shaft 12 than the intermediate portion of the first shaft 11, the fulcrum supporting the first shaft 11 is in front of the electric reel 40. Is located in. Therefore, the electric reel 40 is less likely to fall forward.

The leg member 14 has a mechanism whose height for supporting the first shaft 11 can be changed. In this embodiment, the leg member 14 includes a first member 14a, a second member 14b, and a second fixing member 14c. The first member 14a and the second member 14b are rotatably attached to the first shaft 11 in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first member 14a and the second member 14b are plate-shaped members, and one end thereof is a mounting hole 14a1 that can be mounted on the leg mounting portion 11b of the first shaft 11. , 14b1. The second member 14b is attached to the leg mounting portion 11b of the first shaft 11 so that the second member 14b is in front (the flange portion 11b1 side of the first shaft 11) and the first member 14a is behind the second member 14b. The first member 14a and the second member 14b open and close left and right with respect to the first axis 11. By changing the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b with respect to the first shaft 11, the height at which the leg member 14 supports the first shaft 11 changes.

The second fixing member 14c is a member that fixes the angles of the first member 14a and the second member 14b. In this embodiment, a screw groove 11b3 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the leg mounting portion 11b of the first shaft 11 (see FIG. 2). The second fixing member 14c may be mounted on the screw groove 11b3, for example, to fix the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b. In this embodiment, the second fixing member 14c includes a first screw 14c1 and a second screw 14c2. The first screw 14c1 is mounted on the front side of the leg mounting portion 11b of the first shaft 11, and is applied to the leg member 14 on the first shaft 11. The second screw 14c2 is mounted on the rear side and is applied to the first screw 14c1.

In this case, the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b with respect to the first shaft 11 is adjusted. Next, the first screw 14c1 is tightened toward the leg member 14 to temporarily fix the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b. Further, the second screw 14c2 is tightened toward the first screw 14c1 to function as a lock for the first screw 14c1. As a result, the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b is fixed. As described above, the first screw 14c1 and the second screw 14c2 function as double nuts.

The angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b may be adjusted so that the first member 14a and the second member 14b supporting the first shaft 11 are in contact with the base 80. By grounding the first member 14a and the second member 14b to the base 80, a fulcrum supported by the base 80 is generated in front of the electric reel 40. This makes it difficult for the electric reel 40 to fall forward. In this embodiment, the angles of the first member 14a and the second member 14b can be adjusted and fixed, so that even if the attached electric reel 40 changes or the shape of the base 80 changes, the first shaft 11 The leg member 14 attached to the base 80 can be grounded to the base 80. The structure of the leg member 14 is not limited to such a structure.

For example, the second screw 14c2 may be a thicker screw than the first screw 14c1. In this embodiment, the first screw 14c1 and the second screw 14c2 are each composed of knurled screws having irregularities on the outer peripheral surface, and can be turned by an operator by hand. In this case, if the second screw 14c2 to be tightened later is thick, it becomes easier to apply a force to the second screw 14c2. Therefore, the workability of the angler is improved. In this case, when the width of the first screw 14c1 is about 3 mm, the width of the second screw 14c2 is, for example, 3 mm or more, more preferably 6 mm or more. Further, in this case, the width of the second screw 14c2 may be about 1 cm.

FIG. 4 shows an adapter 10A for a tip rod, which is a modified example. As shown in FIG. 4, the second screw 14c2 may have a step 14c3 on the side where the first screw 14c1 is applied. In this case, the step 14c3 forms a groove 14d between the outer peripheral surface of the first screw 14c1 and the outer peripheral surface of the second screw 14c2. The width of the groove 14d may be, for example, 1 mm or more, and for example, 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less. Since the groove formed by the step 14c3 is formed, it becomes difficult for a finger to hit the first screw 14c1 when turning the second screw 14c2. Therefore, when the second screw 14c2 is operated, the first screw 14c1 becomes difficult to rotate.

FIG. 5 shows an adapter 10B for a tip rod, which is a modified example. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip rod adapter 10B includes washers 21, 22, and 23. In other respects, it has the same structure as the tip rod adapter 10A shown in FIG.

The washer 21 is mounted on the first shaft 11 between the base end portion (here, the flange portion 11b1) of the first shaft 11 and the first member 14a. The washer 21 has a frictional force between the flange portion 11b1 of the first shaft 11 and the first member 14a so that the first member 14a moves smoothly with respect to the flange portion 11b1 of the first shaft 11. It is for adjusting. For the washer 21, for example, a washer made of nylon having a thickness of about 0.3 mm can be used.

The washer 22 is mounted on the first shaft 11 between the first member 14a and the second member 14b. The washer 22 is a member that prevents the first member 14a and the second member 14b from moving excessively after the first screw 14c1 is tightened. Here, as the washer 22, a rubber washer having a thickness of about 0.3 mm can be used.

Further, the washer 23 is mounted on the first shaft 11 between the second member 14b and the first screw 14c1. The washer 23 is for adjusting the frictional force so that the second member 14b moves smoothly with respect to the first screw 14c1 with an appropriate friction. That is, it is possible to prevent the second member 14b from rotating with respect to the first screw 14c1 with respect to the first screw 14c1. For the washer 23, for example, a washer made of nylon having a thickness of about 0.3 mm can be used.

In this way, a first washer 22 made of an elastomer may be mounted on the first shaft 11 between the first member 14a and the second member 14b. As a result, the first member 14a and the second member 14b are less likely to slip, so that the height at which the first member 14a and the second member 14b support the first shaft 11 can be easily adjusted. From this point of view, as the first washer 22 made of an elastomer, for example, an elastomer such as an industrial rubber washer that can obtain the required durability and frictional force may be appropriately adopted. For example, an Asner sheet manufactured by Ask Industry Co., Ltd. can be used. Further, the thickness of the first washer 22 is preferably, for example, about 0.1 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less.

Further, a second washer made of resin is mounted on the first shaft 11 between the flange portion 11b1 and the first member 14a of the first shaft 11 and between the second member 14b and the first screw 14c1. You may be. As a result, it is possible to secure an appropriate slip between the flange portion 11b1 of the first shaft 11 and the first member 14a, and between the second member 14b and the first screw 14c1. With such a configuration, between the flange portion 11b1 of the first shaft 11 and the first member 14a, and between the second member 14b and the first screw 14c1, between the first member 14a and the second member 14b. Also slips first. Therefore, while maintaining the angle between the first member 14a and the second member 14b, the first member 14a and the second member 14b come into contact with each other, and the first member 14a and the second member 14b are first. The height supporting the shaft 11 can be easily adjusted. From this point of view, for example, nylon washers can be used as the second washers 21 and 23. The thickness is, for example, preferably about 0.2 mm or more and 0.5 or less.

Up to this point, a structure including a first member 14a mounted on the first shaft 11 and a second member 14b as leg members and having a mechanism capable of changing the height of supporting the first shaft 11 has been exemplified. In this embodiment, the leg member 14 may have a structure capable of supporting the first shaft 11. FIG. 6 shows a modified example of the leg member. As shown in FIG. 6, the leg member 30 is a member mounted on the first shaft 11 in place of the leg member 14 in the above-mentioned tip rod adapter 10. As shown in FIG. 6, the leg member 30 has holes 30a mounted on the first shaft 11 and leg portions 30b and 30c extending to the left and right from the base where the holes 30a are provided. In this case, the leg member 30 may have a required thickness so that the first shaft 11 can be stably supported. The leg member 30 does not have a structure for adjusting the height, but it is preferable to prepare a plurality of members having different heights. Further, the leg member 30 may be mounted on the first shaft 11, and the first screw 14c1 and the second screw 14c2 may be omitted. For example, the leg member 30 may be press-fitted into the first shaft 11. Further, a non-slip may be mounted between the hole 30a of the leg member 30 and the first shaft 11.

Although one embodiment of the tip rod adapter proposed here has been described above, the tip rod adapter proposed here is not limited to the above-described embodiment unless otherwise specified.
