Description

The present invention relates to the structure of a reel seat that is provided on a fishing rod body and holds a fishing reel.

A fishing rod to which a fishing reel is attached generally has a fishing rod body and a reel seat provided thereon. The reel seat is provided with a pair of hoods that come into contact with and separate from each other, and by holding the legs of the fishing reel between them, the fishing reel is fixed to the fishing rod body via the reel seat. For example, a bait reel (double-bearing type reel) is mounted with the reel seat facing upward. That is, in actual fishing, the fisherman holds the fishing rod body together with the bait reel and puts the fishing rod body and the bait reel on the palm of his hand.

Therefore, palming is extremely important for anglers to perform casting and hooking stably. Therefore, various improvements have been made to the external shape of the conventional reel seat (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4), and the reel seat also serves as a grip for the fishing rod body.

By the way, the so-called full palming is a state in which the reel seat and the fishing rod body are securely placed in the center of the palm and surrounded by all the fingers, preferably, the angler's thumb is securely attached to the thumb bar of the bait reel. It means the hanging state. In actual fishing, it is important that this full palming is realized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a reel seat that holds a bait reel and allows easy full palming.

(1) A reel seat according to the present invention is attached to a blank constituting a fishing rod along the axial direction, and a fishing reel is attached and detached. The reel seat has an upper surface, a seat surface on which the legs of the fishing reel are placed, and a fixed hood to which the legs are fitted and held adjacent to the rear side of the seat surface in the axial direction. and a palming support that surrounds the lower surface and side surfaces of at least the region of the tubular body where the seat surface and the fixed hood are provided and assists palming. The palming support includes a first curved surface that surrounds the lower surface of the tubular body corresponding to the region, and a first curved surface that extends upward continuously from the first curved surface and extends left and right while surrounding the side surfaces of the tubular body . a pair of second curved surfaces that bulge out symmetrically in the direction of the curved surface; and a curved surface.

According to this configuration, an angler can grip and operate the fishing rod and the bait reel by, for example, attaching the bait reel to the reel seat and gripping the palming support. The fisherman puts his hand on the palming support so as to support it from below. The first curved surface abuts the center of the palm. The ball of the foot, the ball of the finger, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger smoothly follow the second curved surface and the third curved surface. The thumb touches the thumb bar of the baitcasting reel.

(2) A contact surface may be provided which is formed continuously with the pair of second curved surfaces or the pair of third curved surfaces and extends rearward and downward in a direction intersecting the axial direction.

With this configuration, when an angler grips the palming support, the boundary between the ball of the foot, the ball of the finger, and the wrist touches the contact surface. This realizes more reliable full palming.

(3) It is preferable that the contact surface is a curved surface that is arranged in the center between the pair of second curved surfaces or the pair of third curved surfaces and is convex to the front side in the axial direction.

(4) It is preferable that the first curved surface is formed symmetrically with respect to the axial direction so that the center of the palm is wrapped around the curved surface.

(5) It is preferable that the second curved surface and the third curved surface bulge uniformly so that the ball of the foot, the ball of the finger, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger are wrapped around.

(6) It is preferable that the upper ends of the pair of third curved surfaces are curved so as to approach each other symmetrically along the peripheral surface of the tubular body .

According to the present invention, the angler simply grips the palming support so as to support it from below, and the ball of the foot, the center of the palm, the ball of the finger, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger are smoothed on the outer peripheral surface of the palming support. Since it follows, the thumb can easily contact the thumb bar of the baitcasting reel. In other words, full palming is easily realized, and comfortable fishing is possible.

When the tightening nut is screwed into the tightening pipe portion 23 with one leg of the bait reel inserted into the fixed hood 30, the other leg of the bait reel is inserted into the hood provided on the tightening nut. The legs of the baitcasting reel are sandwiched between these hoods and the fixed hood 30 .

The rear grip portion 25 is provided on the rear side 14 of the reel holding portion 24 . The outer shape of the rear grip portion 25 is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, it has a columnar shape as shown in the figure and is set to an outer diameter dimension that is easy for an angler to grip.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the palming support 22 is integrally formed with the reel holding portion 24. As shown in FIG. Although the palming support 22 is provided on the reel holding portion 24 in this embodiment, it may be provided on another portion of the tubular main body 21 .

The palming support 22 has a vessel shape as a whole and is formed so as to hold the reel holding portion 24 inside. The palming support 22 includes a first bending portion 31 (see FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 9), a pair of second bending portions 32 (see FIGS. 1 to 5, 8 and 9), and a It has three curved portions 33 (see FIGS. 1 to 5 and 8) and a collar portion 34 (see FIGS. 1 to 4). These are three-dimensionally continuous smoothly as shown in each figure. In each figure, the first curved portion 31, the second curved portion 32, the third curved portion 33, and the collar portion 34 correspond to imaginary parts defined by two-dot chain lines. In other words, the outer peripheral surface of the palming support 22 does not have a bent portion or a discontinuous portion. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and 9, a plurality of grooves 35 are formed along the outer peripheral surface of the palming support 22 . In this embodiment, three grooves 35 are provided on each of the left and right sides of the palming support 22, but the number of grooves 35 is not particularly limited. The function of the groove 35 will be described later.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and 9, the first curved portion 31 is provided on the lower surface 36 of the reel holding portion 24. As shown in FIG. The first curved portion 31 is a portion surrounded by a two-dot chain line 46 in FIGS. 3, 5 and 9. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the first curved portion 31 has an elongated tray shape. The cross-sectional shape of the first curved portion 31 is formed in an arcuate shape that protrudes toward the lower side 16 (see FIG. 3) and extends along the axial direction 12 . The outer peripheral surface 37 of the first curved portion 31 (corresponding to the “first curved surface” described in the claims) also exhibits an arcuate shape that protrudes toward the lower side 16 and surrounds the lower surface 36 . there is In this embodiment, as shown in these drawings, the outer peripheral surface 37 is formed symmetrically with respect to the axial direction 12 .

The second curved portion 32 extends to the upper side 15 continuously from the first curved portion 31 and the collar portion 34 . Specifically, the second curved portion 32 is continuous with the left and right upper edges of the first curved portion 31 (imaginary upper edges 42: boundaries indicated by two-dot chain lines 46) and the upper edge 49 of the collar portion 34. , are arranged symmetrically on the left side 17 and on the right side 18 . The second curved portion 32 is a portion surrounded by two-dot chain lines 46, 47 and 48 in FIGS. The outer peripheral surface 38 of each of the second curved portions 32 (corresponding to the “second curved surface” described in the claims) smoothly continues to the outer peripheral surface 37 of the first curved portion 31 and the flange portion 34 and extends upward. Extends to 15. A pair of outer peripheral surfaces 38 have a shape that bulges toward the left side 17 and the right side 18 . As shown in FIG. 8, the second curved portion 32 is provided between the left and right side surfaces 40, 41 of the reel holding portion 24 (corresponding to the "side surface of the tubular body " described in the claims). It bulges out to form a gap 39 . Therefore, the pair of outer peripheral surfaces 38 surround the side surfaces 40 and 41 and bulge out symmetrically and uniformly to the left side 17 and the right side 18 . The bulging dimension P is not particularly limited, but the position of the maximum dimension is preferably in the vicinity of the top portion 51 of the fixed hood 30 or on the rear side 14 thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, 1, 3, and 4, the third curved portion 33 continues to the second curved portion 32 and extends upward 15. As shown in FIG. Specifically, it is continuous with the left and right upper edges of the second curved portion 32 (virtual upper edge 43: boundary indicated by a two-dot chain line 47), and is arranged symmetrically on the left side 17 and the right side 18 . The outer peripheral surface 44 of each third curved portion 33 (corresponding to the “third curved surface” described in the claims) smoothly continues to the outer peripheral surface 38 of the second curved portion 32 and extends upward 15 . there is The pair of outer peripheral surfaces 44 are continuous with the pair of outer peripheral surfaces 38 and bulge out symmetrically and uniformly to the left side 17 and the right side 18 . Each third curved portion 33 covers the side of the portion of the reel holding portion 24 where the fixed hood 30 is formed. In this embodiment, the third curved portion 33 is curved inward along the peripheral surface of the cylindrical main body 21 (see FIGS. 6 and 8). Accordingly, the upper end portions 45 of the outer peripheral surface 44 are curved so as to approach each other symmetrically.

The collar portion 34 extends downward 16 continuously from the second curved portion 32 and the first curved portion 31 . Specifically, it is continuous with the left and right lower edges of the second curved portion 32 (the edges indicated by the two-dot chain line 48) and the rear edge of the first curved portion 31 (the edge indicated by the two-dot chain line 46). Edges indicated by these two-dot chain lines 46 and 48 coincide with the upper edge 49 of the collar portion 34 . The outer shape of the flange 34 has a front surface 52 (corresponding to the "contact surface" described in the claims) and a rear surface 53, and its cross-sectional shape is substantially rhombic as shown in FIG. However, the outer shape of the flange portion 34 is not particularly limited.

In this embodiment, the outer shape of the collar portion 34 gradually decreases from the upper edge 49 toward the lower side 16 and is sharpened toward the lower end. As indicated by a dashed line 54 in FIG. 5 , the collar portion 34 protrudes from the upper edge 49 toward the lower side 16 along a direction intersecting with the axial direction 12 .

A front surface 52 of the collar portion 34 is formed into a curved surface that protrudes toward the front side 13 . The front surface 52 is smoothly continuous with the outer peripheral surface 37 and the pair of outer peripheral surfaces 38 , and is arranged in the center between the pair of outer peripheral surfaces 38 behind the outer peripheral surface 37 . As described above, since the flange 34 protrudes along the dashed line 54 , the front surface 52 extends rearward 14 and downward 19 along the dashed line 54 .

In this embodiment, the palming support 22 is integrally formed as described above, and the boundaries between the first curved portion 31, the second curved portion 32, the third curved portion 33, and the collar portion 34 are appropriately Can be redesigned. Therefore, in this embodiment, the front surface 52 of the collar portion 34 is smoothly continuous with the outer peripheral surface 37 and the outer peripheral surface 38, but the interpretation is not limited to this. It is also possible to interpret that the outer peripheral surface 44 of 33 is also continuous.

<Effect>

In actual fishing, the fisherman attaches the bait reel to the reel seat 10, grips the palming support 22 to perform palming, and grips and operates the fishing rod and the bait reel. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the fisherman places his/her hand under the palming support 22 from the rear side 14 of the reel seat 10 and holds the palming support 22 from bottom to top. As a result, the center of the palm of the fisherman comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface 37 of the palming support 22, and the ball of the finger, the ball of the finger, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger smoothly follow the outer peripheral surface 38 and the outer peripheral surface 44 of the palming support 22. (See FIGS. 3-5). In other words, the angler can grasp the palming support 22 from below, and the outer peripheral surfaces 37, 38, and 44 of the palming support 22 can be grasped by the ball of the foot, the center of the palm, the ball of the finger, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger. Since it follows smoothly, the thumb can easily contact the thumb bar of the bait reel. Therefore, full palming is easily achieved, and comfortable fishing is possible.

In this embodiment, since the collar portion 34 is formed, when the angler grips the palming support 22, the boundary between the ball of the foot, the ball of the finger, and the wrist touches the front surface 52 of the collar portion 34. As a result, the angler can grip the palming support 22 more reliably, and achieves better full palming.

In this embodiment, since the palming support 22 is provided with the grooved line 35, the grooved line 35 exerts an anti-slip effect when the angler grips the palming support 22.例文帳に追加In addition, this grooved line 35 may be a convex line.

In this embodiment, the upper end portions 45 of the pair of outer peripheral surfaces 44 of the palming support 22 are curved so as to approach each other symmetrically. In other words, since these are narrowed inward (see FIGS. 6 to 8), when the angler grips the palming support 22, the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger in particular do not touch the outer peripheral surface 44 of the palming support 22 and its vicinity. has the advantage of following more smoothly.
