Description

The present invention relates to ferrules and fishing rods.

In surf fishing, when a large fish such as a stone snapper is the target fish, a specially designed fishing rod is generally used in order to cope with the large swimming power of the large fish.
For example, a fishing rod used for snapper fishing is equipped with a ferrule fixed to the rear end of the fishing rod body, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, and is fixed to the beach using the ferrule. It is held in a balance type rod holder.

The ferrule has a ferrule main body in which an upwardly opening engaging groove is formed on the upper surface side. The engaging groove is a so-called piton hooking groove, and is capable of being engaged with the rear supporting portion of the rod holder so as to be fitted from above.

The fishing rod equipped with the ferrule described above is configured such that the fishing rod body is supported from below by the front support portion of the rod holder, and the rear support portion of the rod holder is engaged with the engagement groove of the ferrule from above. set in the holder. As a result, the contact portion between the front support portion and the fishing rod body becomes the fulcrum, and the engagement portion between the rear support portion and the engagement groove becomes the force. As a result, the moment based on the weight of the fishing rod generated around the fulcrum and the reaction moment generated based on the reaction force acting on the force point are balanced, so that the fishing rod is held in a substantially horizontal state by the rod holder. .

In the case of such a fishing rod, when there is a fish hit, the tip of the rod is drawn toward the sea surface, so that the ferrule is lifted upward and the engagement between the rear support portion of the rod holder and the engagement groove is disengaged. intensify. Therefore, when the fishing rod is removed from the rod holder, for example, if the ferrule is pushed downward against the force acting to lift the ferrule upward, the target fish will feel uncomfortable and may escape. There was room for improvement, such as in the case of a large fish (there was a fish pull), it was sometimes difficult to quickly remove it and transfer it to hand.

Therefore, a ferrule is known that has an engaging recess formed to extend forward from the rear end surface of the ferrule main body. The engaging recess is a housing recess into which the rear support portion of the rod holder can be inserted from the rear side. It is possible to

In a fishing rod equipped with such a ferrule, when a fish is caught, the ferrule side of the fishing rod is slightly pushed down to release the engagement between the rear support portion and the engaging recess, and then the fishing rod is moved forward. The rear support portion can be disengaged from the engaging recess by moving toward it.
As a result, the fishing rod can be quickly removed from the rod holder without causing discomfort to the target fish, leading to a smooth transition to hand-holding.

JP-A-2004-159544

However, in the case of the ferrule with the engaging recess formed therein, the thickness of the ferrule main body on the rear end side is reduced by the amount of the formation of the engaging recess. Specifically, the rear end of the ferrule main body has a bifurcated shape that is vertically divided by the engaging recess. Therefore, of the rear end portion of the ferrule main body, the upper portion located above the engaging recess and the lower portion located below the receiving groove are thin portions with a small thickness.
Therefore, the rigidity of the rear end portion of the ferrule main body is lowered, and problems such as cracking and deformation are likely to occur due to, for example, an impact due to a drop or the like, or an unintended external force. In particular, the ferrules are often made of wood such as plywood, and tend to crack along the grain (wood grain). Therefore, the above-described inconvenience is likely to occur.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and its object is to enable smooth removal of the fishing rod body from the rod holder, and to provide a ferrule that is less susceptible to cracks and other inconveniences. and to provide fishing rods.

(1) A ferrule according to the present invention comprises a ferrule body connected to the rear end of a fishing rod body that can be held by a rod holder having a support member, and a protective member attached to the ferrule body. The ferrule body is recessed forward from the rear end surface of the ferrule body toward the fishing rod body so as to vertically divide the rear end portion of the ferrule body, and the support member is engaged therein. An engagement recess is formed to accommodate the ferrule, and the protective member is attached to at least the rear end surface of the ferrule main body.

According to the ferrule according to the present invention, since the support member of the rod holder can be accommodated in the engaging recess in an engaged state, the rod holder can be used to hold the fishing rod body to which the ferrule is connected. can be done. Further, when there is a fish signal, the rear end side of the fishing rod body is pushed down to release the engagement between the engaging recess and the support member, and then the fishing rod body is moved forward. , the removal of the fishing rod body from the rod holder can be performed smoothly. Therefore, it can lead to a quick transition to hand-holding.

In particular, since the protective member is attached to the rear end face of the ferrule main body, it is possible to protect the thin rear end side which is divided vertically by the engaging recess. Therefore, for example, impacts due to dropping or the like and unintended external forces can be mitigated by the protective member, and these impacts can be suppressed from being directly transmitted to the ferrule main body.
Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems such as cracks and deformation in the ferrule main body, and it is possible to obtain a ferrule whose quality is stably maintained over a long period of time.

(2) Of the ferrule main body, a portion positioned above the engaging recess serves as an upper flange, and a portion positioned below the engaging recess serves as a lower flange, and the protective member is , and may be attached to the rear end surface of at least one of the upper flange and the lower flange.

In this case, the protective member can be used to suppress direct transmission of impact or the like to at least one of the upper flange and the lower flange. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the upper flange and the lower flange from being cracked or deformed.

(3) The protection member may be attached so as to cover the entire rear end surface of the at least one flange.

In this case, since the protective member covers the entire rear end face of at least one of the upper flange and the lower flange, the upper flange and the lower flange are prevented from being cracked or deformed. can be suppressed more effectively.

(4) The protection member may be formed so as to extend continuously from the rear end surface of the ferrule main body over the side surfaces, and may be attached so as to continuously cover the rear end surface and the side surfaces.

In this case, since the protective member continuously covers the side surfaces from the rear end surface of the ferrule main body, it is possible to mitigate side impacts and external forces on the ferrule main body, and to protect the ferrule main body in a wide range. . Therefore, it is possible to make it more difficult for the ferrule main body to crack, deform, or the like.
In particular, in the case of wooden ferrules, cracks and the like are likely to occur along the grain (wood grain), but by covering the sides of the ferrule main body with a protective member, cracks along the grain can be effectively suppressed. can do. Therefore, it is particularly effective for wooden ferrules such as plywood.

(5) The protective member may be made of an elastic material that is elastically deformable.

In this case, the protective member can be made of, for example, a rubber sheet or a synthetic resin impact absorbing sheet. can be suppressed.

(6) The protective member may be made of a material having a hardness higher than that of the ferrule main body.

In this case, the protective member can be, for example, a protective sheet made of metal or ceramics, so that it is possible to more effectively absorb impacts and external forces caused by dropping, etc., and transmit them directly to the ferrule main body. can be suppressed.

(7) A fishing rod according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a fishing rod main body and the ferrule connected to the rear end portion of the fishing rod main body.

According to the fishing rod according to the present invention, since it is equipped with the above-described ferrule, it can be quickly transferred to the hand when a fish is caught, and it is highly resistant to impacts caused by dropping on a rocky beach, for example. It can be a fishing rod. In particular, the fishing rod can be made suitable for rockfish fishing such as stone snapper fishing.

According to the present invention, it is possible to smoothly remove the fishing rod main body from the rod holder, and it is possible to provide a ferrule and a fishing rod that are less likely to cause problems such as cracks.

At the tip of the fishing line 11 let out from the fishing reel 10, a device (not shown) corresponding to the type of fish is set.

In this embodiment, the direction along the rod axis O is defined as the front-rear direction L1 when the fishing rod main body 2 is in an unloaded state (that is, in a state in which it is straight without bending). Further, in the front-rear direction L1, the direction in which the fishing line 11 is paid out from the fishing reel 10 is called the front, and the opposite direction is called the rear.
Furthermore, when viewed from the direction of the rod axis O, the direction intersecting with the rod axis O is called the radial direction, and among the radial directions, the direction from the rod axis O toward the fishing reel 10 is called upward, and the opposite direction is called downward. Furthermore, a direction that intersects the two directions of the front-rear direction L1 and the up-down direction L2 so as to be substantially orthogonal is referred to as a left-right direction L3.

Among the plurality of rod bodies constituting the fishing rod body 2, the rod body located on the front end side (tip side) of the fishing rod body 2 is the so-called tip rod 12, and the rear end side (shitte side) of the fishing rod body 2. ) is the base rod 13 . A plurality of fishing line guides 14 for guiding the fishing line 11 are provided on the fishing rod body 2 at intervals in the front-rear direction L1.

(rod holder)
The rod holder 4 will be briefly explained.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rod holder 4 is a so-called moment balance type rod holder, and includes a holder main body 20 formed in a plate shape extending in the front-rear direction L1, a front support portion 21, and a rear support. A portion 22 and a piton portion 23 are mainly provided. Note that FIG. 1 shows the rod holder 4 in a simplified manner.

The front support portion 21 includes a support portion main body 21a connected to the front end portion of the holder main body 20 so that the angle can be adjusted, and a front receiving portion 21b connected to the support portion main body 21a. The support main body 21 a is connected to extend forward and upward from the front end of the holder main body 20 . The front receiving portion 21b is formed in a U shape that opens upward and is connected to the upper end portion of the support portion main body 21a.
The rear support portion 22 includes a support portion main body 22a connected to the rear end portion of the holder main body 20 so that the angle can be adjusted, a hooking portion (a support member according to the present invention) 22b connected to the support portion main body 22a, It has The support main body 22a is connected to extend rearward and upward from the rear end portion of the holder main body 20 .

The piton part 23 has a sharpened lower end, and can be fixed by driving it into the beach R, for example. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to drive and fix the rod holder 4 at a desired position (actual fishing point) on the beach R.

(stud)
The ferrule 3 will be explained in detail.
As shown in FIG. 3, the ferrule 3 includes a ferrule main body 30 connected to the rear end portion of the fishing rod main body 2, that is, the rear end portion of the base rod 13, and a protective member 50 attached to the ferrule main body 30. ing.

(Stole body)
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the ferrule main body 30 is formed in a solid columnar shape having a certain length along the front-rear direction L1, and is arranged behind the rear end of the base rod 13. . Therefore, the forward end surface 31 of the ferrule main body 30 faces the rear end surface of the base rod 13 in the front-rear direction L1. A rear end surface 32 of the ferrule main body 30 is located on the opposite side of the front end surface 31 in the front-rear direction L1 and faces rearward.

A front end face 31 of the ferrule main body 30 is formed with a connecting shaft 33 further extending forward. The connecting shaft 33 is a so-called “inclusive” portion, is formed in a solid columnar shape, and is arranged coaxially with the rod axis O. As shown in FIG. The connecting shaft 33 can be fitted from behind into a connecting hole (not shown) formed in the base rod 13 so as to open at the rear end of the base rod 13 .

By fitting and fixing the connecting shaft 33 in the connecting hole, the ferrule 3 can be connected to the fishing rod main body 2 as shown in FIG. As a result, the fishing rod main body 2 and the ferrule 3 can be integrally combined with the ferrule main body 30 arranged behind the base rod 13. - 特許庁
However, the method of connecting the fishing rod main body 2 and the ferrule 3 is not limited to this case, and for example, the connecting hole and the connecting shaft 33 may be connected by screwing. In this case, a female threaded portion may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the connecting hole and a male threaded portion may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting shaft 33 . In any case, it is sufficient that the fishing rod main body 2 and the ferrule 3 can be connected, and a known method other than screw connection may be employed.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting shaft 33 and the ferrule main body 30 are integrally formed, but the connecting shaft 33 may be formed separately from the ferrule main body 30 and combined with the ferrule main body 30 .

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the ferrule main body 30 is formed with a diameter larger than the rod diameter of the base rod 13, for example. A diameter-reduced portion 34 whose diameter decreases toward the front is formed on the front end portion side of the ferrule main body 30, which is located on the front side of the central portion located in the center in the front-rear direction L1.
3, when the ferrule 3 is combined with the fishing rod main body 2, the diameter-reduced portion 34 allows the base rod 13 and ferrule main body 30 to be smoothly aligned without causing a step at the boundary between them. It is supposed that it is possible to join together with the outline line. However, the diameter-reduced portion 34 is not indispensable and may be omitted.

Further, the ferrule body 30 is formed with an upwardly facing upper flat surface 35 and a downwardly facing lower flat surface 36 .
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the upper flat surface 35 is formed from the portion of the ferrule main body 30 located behind the reduced diameter portion 34 to the rear end portion located behind the central portion. , and the rear end face 32 . In the illustrated example, the upper flat surface 35 is formed so that the lateral width along the left-right direction L3 gradually widens toward the rear. The connecting portion between the upper flat surface 35 and the rear end surface 32 is an upper curved surface 37 that is rounded with a predetermined curvature.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower flat surface 36 is formed, like the upper flat surface 35, from the portion of the ferrule main body 30 located behind the reduced diameter portion 34 to the rear end side. , and the rear end face 32 . In the illustrated example, the lower flat surface 36 is formed such that the lateral width along the left-right direction L3 gradually widens toward the rear. A connecting portion between the lower flat surface 36 and the rear end surface 32 is a lower curved surface 38 formed to be rounded with a predetermined curvature.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the upper flat surface 35 is formed with a laterally elongated engagement groove 39 extending along the left-right direction L3 and opening upward. Specifically, the engagement groove 39 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view that is longer in the left-right direction L3 than in the front-rear direction L1, and is also open in the left-right direction L3.
The engaging groove 39 is a groove portion called a piton hook, and as shown in FIG. there is In the illustrated example, the engaging groove 39 is formed so as to be positioned in the central portion of the ferrule main body 30 .

3 and 4, the ferrule main body 30 is recessed forward from the rear end surface 32 so as to divide the rear end side in the vertical direction L2, and the ferrule hooking portion of the rod holder 4 An engaging recess 40 is formed to accommodate the 22b in an engageable manner.
The engaging recess 40 is recessed forward with a length (depth) that reaches the central portion of the ferrule main body 30 from the rear end face 32, and penetrates the ferrule main body 30 in the left-right direction L3. formed.

The ferrule main body 30 is formed so that the rear end side thereof is bifurcated in the vertical direction L<b>2 by the engaging recess 40 . Therefore, the rear end of the ferrule main body 30 is divided into an upper flange 41 located above the engaging recess 40 and a lower flange 42 located below the engaging recess 40 .
Therefore, the thickness of the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42 in the vertical direction L2 is thinner than, for example, the reduced diameter portion 34 and the central portion of the ferrule main body 30 .
The rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41 and the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42 function as the rear end surface 32 of the ferrule main body 30, respectively.

The engagement recess 40 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 4, the engaging recess 40 includes a first inclined wall surface 40a, a first curved wall surface 40b, an abutment wall surface 40c, a second curved wall surface 40d, a second inclined wall surface 40e and a third inclined wall surface 40f. It is demarcated by connecting the wall surfaces without steps.

The first inclined wall surface 40a is continuous with the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41 and is formed to extend downward from the rear end surface 41a toward the front. The first curved wall surface 40b is formed to curve downward with a predetermined curvature from the front edge of the first inclined wall surface 40a. The abutting wall surface 40c is formed to extend downward from the lower edge of the first curved wall surface 40b and is a flat surface facing rearward. 40 d of 2nd curved wall surfaces are formed so that it may curve with a predetermined|prescribed curvature toward the front from the lower edge of the abutment wall surface 40c. The second inclined wall surface 40e is formed to extend upward from the front edge of the second curved wall surface 40d toward the rear. The third inclined wall surface 40f is formed so as to extend downward toward the front from the upper edge of the second inclined wall surface 40e.

Of the wall surfaces described above, mainly the first inclined wall surface 40 a and the first curved wall surface 40 b also function as wall surfaces that form the lower surface of the upper flange 41 . Further, among the wall surfaces described above, mainly the second curved surface, the second inclined wall surface 40 e and the third inclined wall surface 40 f also function as a wall surface forming the upper surface of the lower flange 42 .

In particular, the lower flange 42 is formed with a protrusion 45 that protrudes upward by the second inclined wall surface 40e and the third inclined wall surface 40f. The projecting portion 45 is formed in a triangular shape when viewed from the side in the left-right direction L3, and is located on the rear side of the second curved wall surface 40d.

Since the engagement recesses 40 are formed as described above, as shown in FIG. 22b can be accommodated. As a result, as described above, the ferrule 22b can be accommodated in the engaging recess 40 so as to be engageable.
The first inclined wall surface 40a and the third inclined wall surface 40f form the engaging recess 40 such that the opening width in the vertical direction L2 is widest on the rear end surface 32 side and narrows forward. Therefore, the design is such that the hooking portion 22b can be easily attached to and detached from the engaging recess 40. As shown in FIG.

The ferrule main body 30 (including the connecting shaft 33) configured as described above is made of wood such as plywood. However, the ferrule body 30 is not limited to being made of wood, and may be made of metal, synthetic resin, ceramics, or the like.

(Protection member)
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the protective member 50 is attached to the rear end face 32 of the ferrule main body 30. As shown in FIGS. Specifically, the protection member 50 includes an upper protection member 51 attached to the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41 and a lower protection member 52 attached to the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42. .

The upper protective member 51 is attached so as to cover the entire rear end surface 41 a of the upper flange 41 . Similarly, the lower protective member 52 is attached so as to cover the entire rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42 . The method of attaching the upper protective member 51 and the lower protective member 52 is not particularly limited. I do not care.

Although the material of the upper protection member 51 and the lower protection member 52 is not particularly limited, they are made of, for example, an elastic material that can be elastically deformed.
Specifically, the upper protective member 51 and the lower protective member 52 are made of a rubber material such as nitrile rubber (NBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM), sorbothane, etc., and have a predetermined thickness. It is considered to be a rubber sheet having

(Action of fishing rod with ferrule)
Next, the case of using the fishing rod 1 configured as described above will be described.
According to this fishing rod 1, since the ferrule 3 is provided, the rod holder 4 can be used to hold the fishing rod main body 2. - 特許庁

Specifically, the fishing rod main body 2 is approached from the front side to the ferrule hooking portion 22b of the rod holder 4, and the ferrule hooking portion 22b is inserted into the engaging recess 40. As shown in FIG. Then, after inserting the ferrule 22b into the engaging recess 40 until the ferrule 22b comes into contact with the abutment wall surface 40c, the base rod 13 is attached to the front receiving portion 21b of the rod holder 4 as shown in FIG. place on top.
As a result, while supporting the base rod 13 from below using the front receiving portion 21b, as shown in FIG. can do. At this time, the second curved wall surface 40d of the engaging recess 40 comes into contact with the stone hook portion 22b from below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the base rod 13 is supported upward from below by the front receiving portion 21b, so that the contact portion between the base rod 13 and the front receiving portion 21b serves as a fulcrum, and the weight of the fishing rod body 2, etc. A first moment M1 is generated. At the same time, the second curved wall surface 40d of the engaging recess 40 comes into contact with the ferrule hooking portion 22b from below, and the counteraction causes the ferrule 3 to be supported downward from above by the ferrule hooking portion 22b. As a result, a second moment M2 is generated whose force is applied to the contact portion between the ferrule hooking portion 22b and the ferrule 3. As shown in FIG.
The balance between the first moment M1 and the second moment makes it possible to keep the fishing rod 1 substantially horizontal on the beach R.

In this way, the fishing rod 1 and the rod holder 4 constitute a balanced "lever", and the contact portion between the front receiving portion 21b and the base rod 13 constitutes the fulcrum, and the center of gravity of the fishing rod 1 as a whole. constitutes the point of action, and the contact portion between the ferrule hooking portion 22b and the ferrule 3 constitutes the point of force.

In the state where the fishing rod 1 is held by the rod holder 4 as described above, when a fish strikes, the base rod 13 side of the fishing rod main body 2 is pushed down, and the engagement between the projection 45 and the ferrule 22b is released. After the engagement is released, the fishing rod main body 2 is moved forward to disengage the stone hooking portion 22b from the engaging recess 40. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the fishing rod main body 2 can be removed smoothly from the rod holder 4. - 特許庁Therefore, it is possible to quickly move the fishing rod 1 to hand holding.

Therefore, according to the fishing rod 1 of the present embodiment, the fishing rod main body 2 can be smoothly transferred to a handheld state, and a fishing operation corresponding to the movement of the target fish can be started. Therefore, the fishing rod 1 that is easy to use can be made in such a way that it is difficult for the tackle to be detached from the target fish.

In particular, in the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment, the protective member 50 (the upper protective member 51 and the lower protective member 52) is attached to the rear end surface 32 of the ferrule main body 30, so that the engaging recess 40 divides the fishing rod vertically. Thus, the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42, which are thinned, can be protected. Therefore, for example, the protection member 50 can absorb impact caused by dropping or the like and unintended external force, and can suppress direct transmission of the impact or the like to the ferrule main body 30 .
Therefore, the ferrule main body 30, especially the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42 can be prevented from being cracked or deformed, and the ferrule 3 and the fishing rod 1 can be stably maintained in quality over a long period of time. be able to.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to smoothly remove the fishing rod main body 2 from the rod holder 4, and the ferrule 3 and the fishing rod 1 are less likely to cause problems such as cracks. can be done. In particular, since the fishing rod 1 can be made to have a strong resistance to the impact caused by dropping, the fishing rod 1 can be made suitable for rockfish fishing such as rock snapper fishing.

In particular, in this embodiment, an upper protective member 51 and a lower protective member 52 are provided as protective members 50 to protect both the rear end surface 41 a of the upper flange 41 and the rear end surface 42 a of the lower flange 42 . In addition, an upper protective member 51 and a lower protective member 52 are attached so as to cover the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41 and the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42, respectively.
Therefore, it is possible to more effectively prevent the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42 from being cracked or deformed.

Furthermore, since the upper protective member 51 and the lower protective member 52 are made of elastically deformable rubber sheets, it is possible to absorb impacts and external forces caused by dropping, etc., and suppress direct transmission to the ferrule main body 30. be able to. Also in this respect, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of cracks, deformation, or the like in the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42 .

The ferrule 3 of the present embodiment has an engaging groove 39 on the upper flat surface 35 in addition to the engaging recess 40, so that the ferrule hooking portion 22b is formed in the engaging groove 39 as shown in FIG. The fishing rod 1 can be held by the rod holder 4 by engaging them.
Therefore, according to the ferrule 3 of the present embodiment, the fishing rod 1 is held by the engagement between the engaging recess 40 and the ferrule hook portion 22b (see FIG. 3), and the engagement between the engagement groove 39 and the ferrule hook portion 22b. It is possible to arbitrarily select and use the holding form of the fishing rod 1 by the joint (see FIG. 8).

(Modified example of the first embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, both the engaging groove 39 and the engaging recess 40 are formed in the ferrule main body 30, but at least only the engaging recess 40 should be provided, and the engaging groove 39 is not provided. I don't mind.
Moreover, although the protective member 50 is made of a rubber sheet, it is not limited to this case, and may be made of an elastic material other than rubber. For example, the protective member 50 may be a shock absorbing sheet made of synthetic resin. Even in this case, similar effects can be achieved.

Furthermore, the protection member 50 is not limited to being made of an elastic material that can be elastically deformed, and may be made of a material harder than the ferrule main body 30, for example. For example, the protective member 50 may be a protective sheet made of metal or ceramics. In this case, since the protective member 50 having hardness can be used, it is possible to more effectively absorb the impact caused by dropping or the like and the external force. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks, deformation, and the like.

Alternatively, the protective member 50 may be formed by applying, for example, an elastic paint (for example, a self-healing paint or a rubber-based paint such as neo-lavasan). In this case, the protective member 50 does not need to be adhered or the like, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process, but also suppresses the possibility of the protective member 50 peeling off.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as the constituent elements in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the first embodiment, the upper protection member 51 is attached to the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41, and the lower protection member 52 is attached to the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42. A protective member 50 is attached to the side surface of the .

As shown in FIG. 9, the ferrule 60 of this embodiment includes a side protection member 62 attached to a side surface of the ferrule main body 30 facing in the left-right direction L3.
The side protection member 62 is formed along the periphery of the opening of the engaging recess 40 and connected to the upper protection member 51 and the lower protection member 52 respectively. Accordingly, the protection member 61 of this embodiment includes an upper protection member 51, a lower protection member 52, and a side protection member 62, which are continuously connected to each other.

That is, the protective member 61 protects the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41, the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42, the side surface of the upper flange 41 (the side surface of the ferrule main body 30), and the side surface of the lower flange 42 (the side surface of the ferrule main body 30). It is installed so that it covers continuously.

(Action of ferrule)
In the case of the ferrule 60 of this embodiment constructed in this way, the protection member 61 can mitigate the side impact and external force to the ferrule main body 30, and the ferrule main body 30 can be protected in a wide range. Therefore, the ferrule body 30, particularly the upper flange 41 and the lower flange 42, can be further prevented from being cracked or deformed.
In particular, when the ferrule main body 30 is made of wood, cracks and the like are likely to occur along the grain (wood grain). can be suppressed.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Embodiments and modifications thereof include, for example, those that can be easily imagined by those skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, and those within an equivalent range.

For example, in each of the above embodiments, the upper protective member 51 is attached so as to cover the entire rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41, and the lower protective member 52 is attached so as to cover the entire rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42. However, it is not necessary to cover the entire surface. For example, of the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41, the protective member may be partially attached so as to cover only the central portion in the left-right direction L3 or only cover both end portions in the left-right direction L3.
Furthermore, the protective member may be attached entirely or partially to only one of the rear end surface 41a of the upper flange 41 and the rear end surface 42a of the lower flange 42. FIG.
