Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to fishing rods.

Conventionally, fishing rods of various structures have been devised depending on the conditions of the fishing spot and the preferences of the users. Popular fishing rods include, for example, extended fishing rods that are used by tying a fishing line to a rillian attached to the tip, external guide type fishing rods that have multiple fishing line guides installed outside the rod body, and hollow fishing rods. An example of this is a threaded fishing rod through which a fishing line can be inserted.

When fishing, the fishing tackle usually rotates due to the influence of water currents and reel winding, and the rotation of the fishing tackle causes twists in the fishing line. Furthermore, when the tension of the fishing line is loosened, the restoring force of the fishing line is released, resulting in frequent problems such as the fishing line getting tangled with the fishing rod. In particular, with external guide type fishing rods, the fishing line tends to get tangled in the guide, which requires frequent work to unravel the fishing line, which is extremely troublesome.

In order to solve the above problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 01-269442 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 1") states that "a cap that can be fixed to the tip of a fishing rod has elasticity. ``Fishing line entanglement prevention device'' in which a wire rod having a restoring force is connected, and a fishing line fastening mechanism is provided at the tip of the wire rod.
In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-027331 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 2") states that "In an external fishing rod in which a plurality of guides for guiding the fishing line are provided on the outer periphery of the fishing rod, a linear pipe for guiding the fishing line is provided. A top guide with one end attached to the tip of a fishing rod, a pipe with one end inserted into the guide adjacent to the top guide and the other end protruding from the top guide, a tube fitted into the pipe protruding from the top guide, and a pipe falling off. "Fishing line guide device characterized by being provided with a position holding member for prevention."
The fishing rods described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 both have an elastic member attached to the tip of the fishing rod, and a mechanism for passing a fishing line through the outside or inside of the elastic member. This isolates the fishing line dropping position from the rod body.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 01-269442 JP2013-027331A

By the way, the fishing rods described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 guide the fishing line using an elastic member attached to the tip of the fishing rod. That is, in these fishing rods, the elastic member essentially serves as a top guide, and the tip of the elastic member serves as the fishing line dropping position. Therefore, the fishing line tends to become entangled in the elastic member, and the fishing line may become entangled with the rod body in a chain reaction. Further, when catching a fish, the elastic member directly supports the fishing line, so there is a problem that a strong force is applied to the elastic member, making it easy to break.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that has sufficient strength while reducing entanglement of the fishing line.

A fishing rod according to one embodiment of the present invention includes:
A straight tip part,
an entirely straight elastic wire connected substantially parallel to the tip;
Equipped with
A fishing line is dropped from the tip part,
The elastic wire is approximately parallel to the tip portion,
The tip of the elastic wire protrudes beyond the fishing line drop position of the tip.

According to the fishing rod of the present invention, entanglement of the fishing line can be reduced while having sufficient strength.

(First embodiment)
[Structure of fishing rod 10]
Below, the structure of a fishing rod 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the structure of a fishing rod 10. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of the fishing rod 10.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fishing rod 10 includes a rod body 20, a top guide 30, an elastic wire 40, and a sleeve 50. The fishing rod 10 is an external guide type fishing rod. A top guide 30 is provided at the tip of the rod body 20. The top guide 30 has a linear shape. More specifically, the top guide 30 has a ring portion 60 and a frame portion 70. The ring portion 60 is supported by a frame portion 70. The ring portion 60 has a cylindrical shape. The frame portion 70 has a linear shape. The frame portion 70 has an opening 80 at the tip. In this embodiment, the top guide 30 corresponds to the tip of the fishing rod 10.

An elastic wire 40 is connected to the top guide 30. More specifically, the sleeve 50 is provided on the side surface of the frame portion 70 of the top guide 30. The elastic wire 40 is removably inserted through the sleeve 50. The elastic wire 40 is bent into a V-shape, and the folded portion of the elastic wire 40 is inserted into the sleeve 50. The inner diameter of the sleeve 50 is approximately twice the outer diameter of the elastic wire 40. The elastic wire 40 is fixed to the sleeve 50 by its own elasticity. The user can pull out the elastic wire 40 from the sleeve 50 by pulling with force.

The elastic wire 40 is approximately parallel to the linear top guide 30. The tip α of the elastic wire 40 projects beyond the fishing line dropping position β of the top guide 30. In this embodiment, the fishing line dropping position β is the tip of the top guide 30 in the X direction. The tip α of the elastic wire 40 projects further in the X direction than the fishing line drop position β. The X direction is approximately parallel to the linear frame portion 70. The elastic wire 40 is provided along the frame portion 70. The fishing rod 10 is used by passing a fishing line through the ring portion 60 and dropping the fishing line from a fishing line dropping position β.

The elastic wire 40 is removably inserted into the opening 80 . The material of the elastic wire 40 is, for example, synthetic resin. The length of the elastic wire 40 made of synthetic resin is easy to adjust, and since it slides well against the fishing line and is lightweight, there is a low risk that the fishing rod 10 will be damaged during use. The total length of the elastic wire 40 is approximately 50 mm to 100 mm, but can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the user's preference.

The other structure of the fishing rod 10 is the same as that of a conventional fishing rod, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[effect]
The tip α of the elastic wire 40 connected to the top guide 30 projects beyond the fishing line dropping position β of the top guide 30. Thereby, the elastic wire 40 prevents the fishing line from wrapping around the fishing rod 10. Furthermore, even when the fishing line is twisted so much that it bypasses the tip of the elastic wire 40 and wraps around the elastic wire 40, the elastic wire 40 becomes natural due to the weight of the tackle, and before it gets entangled in a complicated manner around the fishing rod 10, The fishing line is untangled. Further, the elastic wire 40 is inserted through an opening 80 provided at the tip of the top guide 30. This prevents the fishing line from interfering with the sleeve 50, and further reduces the winding of the fishing line around the fishing rod 10.

The elastic wire 40 is approximately parallel to the linear frame portion 70, and the fishing line is dropped from the fishing line dropping position β of the top guide 30. This prevents excessive force from being applied to the elastic wire 40 when catching a fish.

A sleeve 50 is provided on the side surface of the top guide 30, and an elastic wire 40 is removably inserted through the sleeve 50. This makes it easy to replace the elastic wire 40 when it is worn out or damaged, and at the same time does not get in the way when attaching a protective cover or the like to the fishing rod 10. Further, the user can appropriately select whether or not to use the elastic wire 40 depending on the fishing situation.

Below, the effects of the present invention, particularly the effect of inhibiting the winding of the fishing line and the effect of releasing the winding of the fishing line, will be described in more detail.

3 to 8 are explanatory diagrams showing a series of processes in which a fishing line 92 is wound around a conventional fishing rod 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the fishing rod 12 is an external guide type fishing rod, and a top guide 32 is provided at the tip of the fishing rod 12. The top guide 32 has a ring portion 62 and a frame portion 72. A fishing line 92 is passed through the ring portion 62 of the top guide 32. The fishing line 92 is twisted due to the influence of water current, winding of the reel, etc. The restoring force generated in the fishing line 92 due to the twisting is released by loosening the tension of the fishing line 92. The fishing line 92 protrudes in the X direction from the tip of the fishing rod 12 (the fishing line dropping position), and extends in the opposite direction to the X direction while drawing a circular trajectory. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the end portion 92a of the fishing line 92 moves to surround the ring portion 62 due to the restoring force generated in the fishing line 92. At the same time, the end portion 92b of the fishing line 92 moves to surround the frame portion 72. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the fishing line 92 is wrapped around the fishing rod 12, causing line entanglement.

The processes shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 are merely examples used as comparative examples. However, regardless of the type of fishing rod, line entanglement that occurs in conventional fishing rods is caused by the fishing line moving around the tip of the fishing rod. When the fishing line wraps around the fishing rod twice or even three times, complicated entanglements occur.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are explanatory diagrams showing how the fishing rod 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used. As shown in FIG. 9, the fishing rod 10 can prevent the fishing line 90 from being wound around the fishing rod 10 by the elastic wire 40. That is, unless the fishing line 90 moves around the tip of the elastic wire 40 in a large manner, the fishing line 90 cannot move so as to surround the frame portion 70 . As a result, entanglement of the fishing line 90 is reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the fishing line 90 is wrapped around the tip of the elastic wire 40, the fishing rod 10 can be tilted at an angle of about 0° to 45° with respect to the horizontal. Due to the weight of the attached tackle, the elastic wire 40 becomes natural and the fishing line 90 is unwound.

(Second embodiment)
[Structure of fishing rod 10a]
A fishing rod 10a according to a second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 11 is a front view showing the structure of the fishing rod 10a.

As shown in FIG. 11, the fishing rod 10a includes a rod body 20a, a top guide 30a, and an elastic wire 40a. The fishing rod 10a is a threaded fishing rod. The rod body 20a has a cylindrical shape. A top guide 30a is provided at the tip of the rod body 20a. The top guide 30a has a linear shape. More specifically, the top guide 30a has a cylindrical shape. In this embodiment, the top guide 30a corresponds to the tip of the fishing rod 10a.

An elastic wire 40a is connected to the top guide 30a. More specifically, an opening 80a is provided at the tip of the top guide 30a. The elastic wire 40a is inserted through the opening 80a. Two stoppers 100 are attached to the elastic wire 40a. The stopper 100 is a ring-shaped rubber member. The inner diameter of the stopper 100 is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the elastic wire 40a. The elastic wire 40a is fixed to the top guide 30a by attaching a stopper 100. By removing the stopper 100, the user can pull out the elastic wire 40a from the opening 80a.

The elastic wire 40a is approximately parallel to the top guide 30a. The tip γ of the elastic wire 40a projects beyond the fishing line dropping position δ of the top guide 30a. In this embodiment, the fishing line dropping position δ is the tip of the top guide 30a in the Y direction. The tip γ of the elastic wire 40a protrudes in the Y direction beyond the dropping position δ of the fishing line. The Y direction is approximately parallel to the linear top guide 30a.

The fishing rod 10a is used by passing a fishing line through the rod body 20a and the top guide 30a and dropping the fishing line from a fishing line dropping position δ.

The rest of the structure of the fishing rod 10a is the same as that of the fishing rod 10 or a conventional fishing rod, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[effect]
The fishing rod 10a as described above can have the same effects as the fishing rod 10.

(Other embodiments)
The fishing rod according to the present invention is not limited to the fishing rods 10 and 10a, and can be modified within the scope of the gist. Note that the structures of the fishing rods 10 and 10a may be combined arbitrarily.

Note that the present invention is also applicable to fishing rods that do not have a top guide. That is, the tip portion in the present invention does not necessarily mean a top guide. The tip of a fishing rod without a top guide is, for example, the tip of the rod body.

Note that the stopper 100 is not an essential component.

Note that the sleeve 50 may be provided on another side of the top guide 30.

Note that the elastic wire does not need to be made of synthetic resin. The elastic wire can also be made of lightweight metal, for example. The elastic wire does not need to be bent into a V-shape, and the folded portion does not need to be inserted into the sleeve. The elastic wire does not need to be removably inserted.

Note that the elastic wire does not need to be strictly parallel to the tip portion. The angle formed by these may be, for example, not less than 0° and not more than 15°.

Note that it is sufficient that the elastic wire is approximately parallel to the tip portion in a state where no external force is applied. Therefore, the elastic wire may temporarily cease to be substantially parallel to the tip portion during use.
