Can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the tightening condition is loose, the reel legs come off between the hoods, and the reel falls off the fishing rod (and / or the reel rattles due to the loosening of the tightened state). In this case, the tightening position that can generate the desired tightening force may be standardized, but it is used for each reel that should be mounted based on the relative positional relationship between the index portion and the opening that constitute the visual recognition means. All you have to do is understand it. Further, according to such a visual inspection means, even if the tightening state of the reel leg by the moving hood is loosened due to some impact or the like while the reel is attached to the fishing rod and used, the visual inspection means (for example, an index). By visually confirming (the relative positional relationship between the portion and the opening, etc.), the looseness (and / or the rattling of the reel due to the loosening, etc.) can be quickly confirmed (grasped).

In the above configuration, the index portion is preferably located in the recessed groove formed on the outer surface of the reel seat body. In this way, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the index unit is worn out due to frictional contact accompanying the movement of the moving hood and becomes invisible. Further, in the above configuration, it is preferable that the opening is provided at a position where the fingers of the hand holding the reel seat come into contact with each other. In this way, when the reel seat is gripped by the hand, the fingers of the hand are caught in the opening, and the grip holding property (grip property) of the reel seat is improved.

Members are provided. The sheet body 2 can be integrally formed by injection molding a synthetic resin using a mold (not shown).

The seat body 2 forms a part of the mounting portion R1a (reel leg R1) of the leg portion (hereinafter referred to as a reel leg) R1 of the reel R (the main body of the reel R is not shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5). , A portion having a predetermined length extending substantially perpendicular to the tip of the main body of the reel leg R1) is placed on the reel leg mounting surface 3 which is a flat surface so as to face the front and rear of the reel leg mounting surface 3. It has a pair of hoods 5 and 6 having openings 5a and 6a for receiving the reel legs R1 (specifically, the front end and the rear end of the mounting portion R1a). At least one of these pair of hoods 5 and 6 is movable, and in the present embodiment, the rear side (rod tail side) is the mobile hood 6 and the front side (rod tip side). Is the fixed hood 5. The hoods 5 and 6 can also be formed by injection molding a synthetic resin using a mold (not shown) like the sheet body 2, but may also be formed by press molding of SUS.

The moving hood 6 is movably assembled to the seat body 2 in the axial direction X, moves in the axial direction X via the adjusting nut member 16 integrated with the moving hood 6, and is brought into contact with and separated from the fixed hood 6. Is done. The adjusting nut member 16 is screwed into a screw portion 9 (see FIG. 2) provided on the seat body 2, and the moving hood 6 is moved and adjusted in the axial direction X by the screwing adjustment (toward the fixed hood 5). (Move), the reel leg R1 is tightened between the moving hood 6 and the fixed hood 5 (the mounting portion R1a is tightened from the front and back) to fix it.

Further, the seat body 2 is provided with a guide groove (not shown) for guiding the movement of the moving hood 6 along the axial direction X so that the moving hood 6 can move along the axial direction X without rotating. It is formed over a range. An engaging portion (not shown) integrally formed with the moving hood 6 is engaged with the guide groove, whereby the moving hood 6 does not rotate with respect to the seat body 2. It is stably guided along the axial direction X.

Further, the reel seat 1 of the present embodiment includes a visual means for making the tightening state (tightening state of the adjusting nut member 16) of the reel legs R1 (mounting portion R1a) by the moving hood 6 visible. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the visual means is formed on the outer surface 2a of the seat body 2 and is an index capable of specifying the tightening position of the reel leg R1 by the moving hood 6. The index unit 30 is provided so as to penetrate the moving hood 6, and has an opening 32 that makes the index unit 30 visible (exposing the outer surface 2a of the seat body 2 to the outside).

In this case, the index portion 30 is a moving hood that can completely tighten the reel leg R1 of the reel R of a predetermined size to the outer surface 2a portion of the seat body 2 between the screw portion 9 and the fixed hood 5. It is positioned (over a predetermined range before and after the outer surface 2a portion) corresponding to the position 6 (complete tightening position). Further, the opening 32 is formed in a portion of the moving hood 6 so that the entire index portion 30 is exposed to the outside and can be visually recognized at the completely tightened position of the moving hood 6, for example, on the side surface of the moving hood 6 as shown in the drawing. To.

Further, in the present embodiment, the index unit 30 is located in the recessed groove 40 formed on the outer surface 2a of the seat body 2, as clearly shown in FIG. In this case, the index unit 30 is preferably formed by a pattern from the viewpoint of improving the design. Here, the pattern is composed of characters, colors, patterns, or a combination thereof. In particular, in the present embodiment, the index unit 30 is formed as the character "LOCK" indicating the completely tightened state of the reel leg R1 by the moving hood 6.

Further, in the present embodiment, the opening 32 is formed as a rectangular elongated hole extending in the axial direction X of the moving hood 6, but may have an arbitrary shape. From the viewpoint of improving the design, the opening 32 may have an unusual shape.

Further, in the present embodiment, the opening 32 is provided at a position where the fingers of the hand holding the reel seat 1 come into contact with the opening 32. That is, simply by grasping the rod 80 of the fishing rod and putting a finger along the reel seat 1, the fingertip is always hooked on the opening 32, and it is possible to always grip with a good grip force. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the thumb 100A is applied to the surface opposite to the reel leg mounting surface 3 with the reel leg mounting surface 3 facing downward, and the index finger 100B is placed near the fixed hood 5. When the reel seat 1 is gripped by the hand 100 while straddling the reel leg R1 in a lightly touched state, the little finger 100E is caught in the opening 32 with the middle finger 100C and the ring finger 100D touching the side surface of the seat body 2, and the grip is firm. You can gain strength. That is, it is hard to slip even if it is not gripped, and stable grip and operability can be improved.

When the reel R is mounted on the rod 80 using the reel seat 1 having the above configuration, the mounting portion R1a of the reel leg R1 is mounted on the reel leg mounting surface 3 of the seat body 2. At the same time, the front end of the mounting portion R1a is inserted into the opening 5a of the fixed hood 5, and in that state, the adjusting nut member 16 is tightened to move the moving hood 6 toward the fixed hood 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the position where the entire index portion 30 of the seat body 2 located inside through the opening 32 of the moving hood 6 is completely exposed to the outside (the entire index portion 30 can be visually recognized). When the moving hood 6 is moved to, the user can visually and surely grasp that the moving hood 6 is in a completely tightened state in which the reel legs R1 of the reel R of a predetermined size can be completely tightened. In an incomplete tightening position where the tightening state is loose, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire index portion 30 cannot be completely visually recognized through the opening 32 (the letter “L” cannot be visually recognized in the figure).

In the case of a reel of a predetermined size, the tightening position shown in FIG. 4 may be in a completely tightened state, but depending on the size of the reel, FIG. 5 may be in a completely tightened state. The completely tightened state only needs to be grasped by the user for each reel to be mounted based on the relative positional relationship between the index portion 30 and the opening 32 constituting the visual recognition means.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the visual means for making the tightening state of the reel leg R1 by the moving hood 6 visible is provided, it is possible to visually and accurately grasp the tightening state of the reel leg R1. Therefore, the desired tightening force can be reliably obtained. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the tightening condition is loose, the reel leg R1 comes off between the hoods 5 and 6, and the reel falls off the fishing rod (and / or the reel rattles due to the loosening of the tightened state). Further, according to such a visual inspection means, even if the tightening state of the reel leg R1 by the moving hood 6 is loosened due to some impact or the like while the reel is attached to the fishing rod and used, the visual inspection means ( For example, by visually confirming the relative positional relationship between the index unit 30 and the opening 32, etc., it is possible to quickly confirm (grasp) the looseness (and / or the rattling of the reel due to the looseness, etc.). it can.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the index portion 30 is located in the recessed groove 40 formed in the outer surface 2a of the seat body 2, the index portion 30 is worn due to frictional contact accompanying the movement of the moving hood 6. It is possible to avoid the situation where it becomes invisible. Further, in the present embodiment, since the opening 32 is provided at a position where the fingers of the hand holding the reel sheet 1 come into contact with each other, the fingers of the hand are caught in the opening 32 when the reel sheet 1 is gripped by the hand. , The grip holding property (grip property) of the reel seat 1 is improved. Further, in the present embodiment, the design of the reel sheet 1 is performed by forming the index portion 30 with a pattern, particularly by giving the pattern decorativeness (or by giving the shape of the opening 32 decorativeness). It can improve sex and is beneficial.
