Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve the reel mounting portion of a fishing rod so that the reel can be reliably mounted, the weight of the fishing rod can be reduced, and the operability can be improved.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY As a means of attaching a reel to a fishing rod, a cylindrical or plate-shaped reel seat is fixed to the fishing rod, and a reel mounting leg is attached between a fixed hood and a movable hood provided on the reel seat. Currently, regardless of whether the reel seat is made of metal or synthetic resin, the diameter of the reel attachment part becomes thicker, making it difficult to grip, increasing the weight of the rod, and causing problems with the reel surface. The degree of protrusion becomes large, which obstructs reel operation.Furthermore, the contact area of the hand gripping the fishing rod surface is small, so the detection of fish (hitting a fish) also decreases, making it difficult to perform fishing operations smoothly. There is.

Furthermore, it is known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-3989 that a reel mounting leg is placed directly on the surface of a fishing rod for fixation, and a male screw is formed for tightening the movable hood so that the fishing rod can be freely moved.

This method improves the above-mentioned defects of the conventional reel seat mounting method, but since the reel mounting leg is placed on the circumferential surface of the fishing rod, it is easy to move in the circumferential direction during use, and it is stable, strong and reliable. The weight of the fishing rod increases because it cannot be attached, and the fishing rod must be made thicker to withstand the load that is applied during fishing operations. There are problems such as it becoming spicy.

Structure of the Invention The present invention has been made to improve these defects, and provides a fishing rod in which a hood for mounting a reel mounting leg is provided on a rod tube integrally formed by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a thermosetting synthetic resin. A male screw for advancing and retracting the movable hood of the hood is integrally formed on the surface of the rod tube with the same material and has a wall thickness greater than that of the rod tube, and a tightening ring of the movable hood is screwed onto the male screw so as to be freely advanced and retractable. The gist is that a flat part on which the reel mounting leg can be placed directly is integrally formed on one side of the rod tube at the front of the male screw.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A rod tube 1 is integrally constructed of prepreg made by impregnating reinforcing fibers such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, and aramid fibers with thermosetting synthetic resins such as epoxy resin and polyester resin. A flat part 2 is integrally formed on the upper side of its base end, and a fixed hood 3 on which one of the reel mounting legs is attached is fixed to the front side of the flat part 2.

In addition, a male screw 4 made of the same material as the rod tube is integrally formed in the cylindrical portion on the rear side of the flat portion 2 of the rod tube 1 and is thicker than the rod tube 1. The tightening ring 5 is screwed together so that it can move forward and backward, and the front end of the tightening ring 5 has a rotation preventing member 6 that comes into contact with the flat part 2.
A movable hood 7 provided with a reel mounting leg is rotatably attached to the movable hood 7, and is configured such that the other reel mounting leg can be attached to the movable hood 7.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the flat portion 2 is formed up to four male screws, and the male screw 4, which is thicker than the rod tube 1, is partially provided integrally only on the flat portion 2. Furthermore, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the opposing front and rear hoods to which the reel legs are attached are both provided with movable hoods, and the male screws 4 are connected to both sides of the flat portion 2. It is formed integrally with the rod tube 1 over almost the entire length and thicker than the rod tube, and has tightening rings 5, 5, each having a movable hood 7, screwed together so as to be able to move forward and backward. This allows the reel to be mounted at a position that is easy to operate depending on the size, type, etc. of the reel.

Furthermore, the same material as the rod tube forming the male screw of the present invention does not necessarily have to be the same even in the types of reinforcing fibers and thermosetting synthetic resin. It is also possible to use different types of reinforcing fibers and different types of thermosetting synthetic resins, such as using glass fibers as the reinforcing fibers of the prepreg constituting the male screw.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides a hood for attaching a reel mounting leg provided on a fishing rod, in particular, a male screw for advancing and retracting the movable hood is integrally made of the same material on the surface of the rod tube and is thicker than the rod tube. The tightening ring of the movable hood is screwed onto the male thread so that it can move forward and backward, and a flat part on which the reel mounting leg can be directly placed is integrally formed on one side of the rod tube at the front of the male thread. Since the cylindrical or plate-shaped reel seat is omitted and the fishing rod itself performs its function, the diameter of the grip when gripping the reel attachment part is small and there are fewer irregularities, making it easier to grip and making the fishing rod easier to grip. It is also possible to reduce the weight, and since the hand gripping the fishing rod is in direct contact with the outer surface of the fishing rod over a wide area, even minute fish movements can be sensitively detected, and the reel mounting leg can be stabilized on a flat surface. This allows the reel to be fixed and mounted firmly and reliably, and the protrusion of the reel from the rod tube when it is mounted can be reduced, so that the reeling operation can be made smooth and fishing operations can be carried out lightly and easily.

Further, the present invention further promotes weight reduction of the fishing rod by reinforcing only the male screw portion, which is subjected to the most load when tightening the reel mounting leg, to be thicker than the rod tube, and further improves the fishing rod sensing performance. I can do it.

Furthermore, the male screw for advancing and retracting the movable hood of the present invention is made of the same material as the rod tube, so it does not rust, and has excellent features such as having fewer parts and reducing costs.
