Description

The present invention relates to the structure of a support grip applied to a reel seat holding a fishing reel.

For example, when a bait reel is attached to a fishing rod, the fisherman grips the reel seat together with the bait reel and operates the fishing rod in that state. In this case, so-called palming is very important, but on the other hand, since the outer shape of the bait reel is complicated, good palming is generally difficult to realize, and the tackle operation tends to be unstable. Therefore, conventionally, various improvements have been made to the reel seat (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2), and palming is supported.

Japanese Patent No. 3866509 Japanese Patent No. 600007

By the way, good palming means that the angler's hand is familiar with the outer edge of the bait reel and the reel sheet (easy to grip), in other words, between the angler's palm and the bait reel and the reel sheet. No extra gap is formed in the reel. This is not limited to bait reels, but also applies to spinning reels and other reels with specifications.

The present invention is based on this background, and an object thereof is to provide a support grip capable of achieving good palming and freely manipulating a tackle on a fishing rod equipped with a fishing reel. It is to be.

(1) The support grip according to the present invention has a tubular shape into which a blank constituting a fishing rod is inserted, and a seat surface on which a leg of a fishing reel is placed is formed on the outer peripheral surface, and the seat surface is formed. A reel seat body formed with a fixed hood that accommodates and holds one of the legs of the mounted fishing reel, and a reel seat body that is screwed into the reel seat body to accommodate and hold the other of the legs, and cooperates with the fixed hood. It is applied to a reel seat provided with a movable hood that holds the legs. This support grip is connected to the anchor inserted into the fixed hood or the movable hood while surrounding one or the other of the legs, and is connected to the anchor to cover the side of the reel seat body, and the fishing reel of the fishing reel. It has a continuous cover on the side surface.

According to this configuration, the fisherman attaches, for example, a bait reel to the reel seat. At this time, the support grip is attached to the reel seat body. Specifically, the leg of the bait reel is sandwiched between the anchor and the seat surface by inserting the anchor into the fixed hood and operating the movable hood. The fisherman grasps the body of the bait reel together with this reel seat body. The cover of the support grip covers the side of the reel seat body and is continuous with the side surface of the bait reel. Therefore, the angler's hand is along the outer peripheral surface of the cover, and full palming is realized. The same applies when a spinning reel is attached to the reel seat body instead of the bait reel. Moreover, the support grip can be attached and detached by operating the movable hood. When the anchor is inserted into the movable hood, the same operation as described above is obtained.

(2) It is preferable that the cover has a convex curved surface that bulges toward the side of the reel seat body and is in contact with the palm of the fisherman.

In this configuration, when the fisherman grasps the bait reel together with the reel seat, the ball of the thumb to the thumb naturally abuts on the cover. As a result, more reliable palming is realized.

(3) The anchor includes a contact surface that abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the fixed hood or the movable hood, and a concave surface that forms an accommodation space for accommodating one or the other of the legs between the seat surface and the contact surface. It is preferable to have.

In this configuration, the contact surface of the anchor is pressed against the fixed hood (or movable hood) from the inside, and at the same time, the leg is pressed against the concave surface. This makes it easy and quick to fix the support grip and the fishing reel.

According to the present invention, the support grip is attached to the reel seat body at the same time as the fishing reel is attached, and can be replaced. Therefore, by preparing a plurality of support grips having different shapes of the outer peripheral surfaces of the cover in advance, a support grip that matches the taste of the fisherman or the hand can be attached. As a result, full palming is easily realized regardless of the type of fishing reel, and the fisherman can freely operate the fishing rod on which the fishing reel is mounted.

The figure shows a state in which a fishing reel (bait reel in this embodiment) 13 and a support grip 10 are attached to the reel seat main body 12. In the figure, only the body of the fishing reel 13 is displayed so that the position of the support grip 10 with respect to the reel seat 11 can be easily understood.

The reel seat 11 has a known structure and includes a reel seat body 12 and a tightening nut (not shown). The reel sheet main body 12 has a tubular shape as a whole, and is made of a resin reinforced with fibers such as polyamide (PA) and polyoxymethylene (POM), as well as carbon fibers. The blank 14 constituting the fishing rod main body is fitted inside the reel seat main body 12 along the axial direction 15. The blank 14 is fixed to the reel sheet body 12 by a known means (for example, an adhesive).

2 and 4, respectively, show a state in which the fishing reel 13 is omitted in FIGS. 1 and 3, respectively. The reel seat main body 12 has a tightening pipe portion 18 and a reel holding portion 19 in this order from the front side 16 to the rear side 17. Although not shown, a rear grip is generally provided behind the reel holding portion 19. These are known structures, and the tightening pipe portion 18 and the reel holding portion 19 are integrally formed.

A seat surface 22 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 (upper surface in this embodiment) of the reel holding portion 19. The legs of the fishing reel 13 are placed on the seat surface 22. A fixed hood 23 is provided on the rear side 17 of the seat surface 22. The fixed hood 23 is integrally formed with the reel seat main body 12. The fixed hood 23 is formed in a dome shape that covers the upper part of the seat surface 22, so that one leg (the leg of the rear side 17) of the fishing reel 13 is inserted into the fixed hood 23 and fixed. It has become.

A male screw 20 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tightening pipe portion 18. The tightening nut has a known structure and includes a nut body and a movable hood. The nut body is screwed with the male screw 20. The movable hood is rotatably provided with respect to the nut body. With the nut body screwed into the male screw 20, the movable hood slides along the axial direction 15 with respect to the tightening pipe portion 18 while rotating relative to the nut body. That is, the movable hood is brought into contact with and separated from the fixed hood 23. The movable hood is also formed in a dome shape like the fixed hood 23, and can cover the upper part of the seat surface 22. The other leg of the fishing reel 13 (the leg of the front side 16) is inserted into the movable hood.

5 is a V-arrow view in FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG.

The nut body is operated with the legs 25 of the rear side 17 of the fishing reel 13 inserted into the fixed hood 23. As a result, the movable hood slides to the rear side 17 and approaches the fixed hood 23, and the other leg 26 (the leg of the front side 16) of the fishing reel 13 is inserted into the movable hood. By tightening the nut body, the legs 25 and 26 are sandwiched by the fixed hood 23 and the movable hood, and the fishing reel 13 is fixed to the reel seat body 12.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, a trigger 24 is provided on the lower surface of the reel holding portion 19. The trigger 24 is provided on the reel holding portion 19 and projects downward. The fisherman puts his hand on the trigger 24 during palming in order to realize stable casting. The outer shape of the trigger 24 is known, and it is formed so that the fisherman's finger can easily catch it. However, this trigger 24 may be omitted.

<Structure of support grip>

7 and 8 are a plan view of the reel seat 11 to which the support grip 10 is mounted, and VIII-arrow view in FIG. 7, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and FIGS. 7 and 8, the support grip 10 is mounted on the reel seat body 12 together with the fishing reel 13. In the present embodiment, the arrows 27 and 28 in the figure indicate the left side and the right side, respectively, and as these figures show, in the present embodiment, the support grip 10 is arranged on the left side 27 of the reel seat main body 12. ..

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the support grip 10. 10 to 13 are a plan view, a right side view (that is, an XI-arrow view in FIG. 9), a left side view (that is, an XII-arrow view in FIG. 9), and a bottom view of the support grip 10, respectively. be.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the support grip 10 has an anchor 51 fixed to the reel seat main body 12 and a cover 52 provided on the anchor 51. These may be integrally formed of the resin, or may be configured as separate members, and both may be assembled.

The cover 52 is made of, for example, polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), or a resin reinforced with fibers such as carbon fibers. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, 9 and 10, the cover 52 has a thin-walled vessel shape and has a so-called hexagonal shell shape. As shown in FIG. 9, the wall thickness dimension T of the cover 52 is set to about 2 mm to 5 mm. The cover 52 is cut diagonally downward from the central portion of the upper edge toward the front side 16. That is, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 12, the cover 52 has an opening 54 in the right end surface 53, and a recess 55 is formed continuously in the opening 54 on the left side 27.

In other words, the outer peripheral surface 56 of the cover 52 is a flat left end surface 57 (corresponding to the "convex curved surface" described in the claims) and a curved surface 58 (patent claimed) continuous around the left end surface 57. Corresponds to the "convex curved surface" described in the range). That is, the outer peripheral surface 56 of the cover 52 bulges to the left side 27 of the reel seat main body 12. This amount of swelling corresponds to the shape of the fishing reel 13 to be mounted. As shown in FIG. 1, the cover 52 covers the left side 27 of the reel seat main body 12 and is formed so as to be continuous with the side surface of the fishing reel 13. The action and effect due to the shape of the cover 52 will be described later.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the anchor 51 has an insertion piece 59 and an connecting member 60. These consist of, for example, polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), and resins reinforced with fibers such as carbon fibers. The insertion piece 59 has a base portion 61 and a tip portion 62. As shown in FIG. 6, the insertion piece 59 is inserted inside the fixed hood 23 of the reel seat main body 12. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the tip portion 62 of the insertion piece 59 has a substantially pyramidal shape and has a shape that can be easily inserted into the fixed hood 23. The outer shape of the tip portion 62 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily inserted into the fixed hood 23.

The base 61 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The left and right corners of the base 61 are chamfered to form a contact surface 66. A concave surface 64 is formed on the lower surface 63 of the base portion 61. The concave surface 64 has an upwardly curved shape. By forming this concave surface 64, a storage space 65 is formed between the base portion 61 and the seat surface 22 of the reel seat body 12 in a state where the insertion piece 59 is inserted into the fixed hood 23 (see FIG. 2). (See FIG. 6). As will be described later, one leg 25 of the fishing reel 13 is accommodated in this accommodation space 65.

In the present embodiment, the shape of the contact surface 66 is formed in a smooth arc shape, and corresponds to the inner peripheral surface of the fixed hood 23. Therefore, the base portion 61 is fitted into the fixed hood 23 without any gap. However, the shape of the contact surface 66 is not particularly limited as long as it corresponds to the shape of the inner wall surface of the fixed hood 23.

The connecting material 60 connects the insertion piece 59 and the cover 52. In the present embodiment, the connecting material is made of a round bar member and is formed in a crank shape. The shape of the connecting material 60 is not particularly limited as long as the insertion piece 59 and the cover 52 can be connected to each other. However, since the amount of protrusion of the cover 52 (the amount of lateral offset with respect to the reel seat body 12: see FIG. 1) is determined by the lateral dimension of the connecting material 60, the dimension is the specification of the fishing reel to be mounted. It is designed accordingly.

As shown in FIG. 9, one end 67 of the connecting material 60 is continuous on the left side of the base portion 61, and the other end 68 of the connecting material 60 is continuous on the inner surface of the cover 52. That is, the cover 52 is supported by the insertion piece 59 via the connecting material 60. In the present embodiment, the position where the connecting member 60 is connected to the cover 52 is a predetermined rear portion of the cover 52 corresponding to the specifications of the fishing reel 13. However, the design of the connection position between the connecting material 60 and the cover 52 may be changed as appropriate.

<Action effect>

In actual fishing, the fisherman attaches the fishing reel 13 to the reel seat body 12. At this time, the support grip 10 is attached to the reel seat body 12 together with the fishing reel 13. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the insertion piece 59 (see FIG. 9) of the anchor 51 is preliminarily inserted into the fixed hood 23, and the legs 25 and 26 of the fishing reel 13 are on the seat surface 22. It is placed in. By operating the movable hood in that state, the legs 25 and 26 of the fishing reel 13 are sandwiched between the insertion piece 59 and the seat surface 22. By operating the movable hood, the fishing reel 13 and the support grip 10 can be easily removed from the reel seat main body 12.

The angler grasps the body of the fishing reel 13 together with the reel seat body 12 (see FIG. 1). Since the cover 52 of the support grip 10 bulges sideways as shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the side surface of the fishing reel 13 is covered with the side of the reel seat body 12 as shown in FIG. It is continuous without forming an unnecessary or useless gap between the two. As a result, the fisherman's hand abuts along the outer peripheral surface 56 of the cover 52, and the ball of the thumb to the thumb naturally abuts on the cover 52. That is, full palming is easily realized. The fisherman can freely operate the fishing rod to which the fishing reel 13 is mounted.

The support grip 10 is attached to the reel seat body 12 at the same time as the fishing reel 13 is attached, and can be replaced. Therefore, by preparing a plurality of support grips having different shapes of the outer peripheral surface 56 of the cover 52 (shapes of the left end surface 57 and the curved surface 58) in advance, the bait reel, the spinning reel, or the like can be used according to the fisherman's preference. Even if it is a reel of specifications, a support grip that matches the hand can be attached. In the present embodiment, the cover 52 projects to the left side 27, but of course, it can be configured to project to the right side 28.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 6, since the contact surface 66 of the base 61 of the insertion piece 59 matches the shape of the inner wall surface of the fixed hood 23, the insertion piece 59 is the fixed hood. It is pressed from the inside while being inserted into the 23. Further, since the concave surface 64 is formed on the base portion 61 of the insertion piece 59, a storage space 65 is formed between the base portion 61 and the seat surface 22 of the reel seat main body 12. The leg 25 is inserted into the accommodation space 65 and pressed against the concave surface 64. That is, there is an advantage that the support grip 10 can be fixed and the fishing reel 13 can be fixed easily and quickly.

In the present embodiment, when the support grip 10 is attached to the reel seat main body 12, the insertion piece 59 (see FIG. 9) of the anchor 51 is inserted into the fixed hood 23. The reel 59 may be inserted into the movable hood.
