Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a handle grip for a fishing reel, and more particularly, to a handle grip for supporting the tip of a handle of a fishing reel and for driving the handle.

(Prior Art) In general, a handle grip for a fishing reel such as a spinning reel, a closed-face reel, or a double-bearing reel consists of a grip body and a grip leg extending outward from the grip body on one side. , is formed with a circular cross section.

Incidentally, with this kind of handle grip, the grip body is sometimes grasped by sandwiching the grip leg between, for example, the middle finger and the ring finger of the hand gripping the grip body.

Furthermore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-6290, it has been proposed that the end portion of the grip leg on the side of the grip body is formed into an elliptical cross section to make it easier to pinch the grip leg. .

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) However, in this conventional grip, the shape of the grip legs is specific and cannot be changed freely, and moreover, it is made of hard material, making it difficult for anglers to When grasping the fish by pinching the grip leg, depending on the angler's degree of grip strength and the size of the gripping hand, the pinching fingers often do not fit with the outer surface of the grip leg, resulting in a failure to grip the fish. It is,
In addition, the pads of the fingers holding the grip were in direct contact with the grip body, resulting in a poor feel.

The present invention was devised in consideration of the above points, and the purpose is that when gripping the main body of the grip by sandwiching the grip legs, the angler's grip strength or the size of the gripping hand may differ. The object is to be able to adjust the gripping fingers to fit the grip corresponding to the state of gripping the grip by gripping the legs, and to improve the feel of the finger pads of the gripping fingers.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Accordingly, the present invention provides a handle grip supported at the tip of a handle of a fishing reel, which includes a grip body, a grip leg extending outward from one side from the grip body. a cylindrical portion that covers the outer periphery of the grip leg; and a cylindrical portion that is continuous to one end side of the cylindrical portion, and
a flexible cover having a finger rest facing the extension side outer surface of the grip leg in the grip body; A space is provided between the cylindrical portion and the outer surface of the grip leg to allow elastic deformation of the cylindrical portion toward the outer surface of the grip leg.

(Function) The outer periphery of the grip leg is covered with a cylindrical portion of a flexible cover, and between the inner surface of this cylindrical portion and the outer surface of the grip leg opposite to the inner surface, the cylindrical portion is attached to the outer surface of the grip leg. Since there is a space that allows elastic deformation, when the cylinder part is pinched and gripped, the cylinder part is not only elastically deformed in the thickness direction due to its material, but also deformed in the radial direction beyond this elastic deformation. This means that it will be possible to do so. Therefore, when gripping the grip body by sandwiching the cylindrical portion,
Regardless of the strength of the angler's grip or the size of his/her hand, a force that presses radially inward acts on the tube, so the amount of deformation depends on the magnitude of this pressing force. Even if there is a difference in the amount, the effect of the space causes the grip to be elastically deformed in accordance with the gripping force. Therefore, due to the deformation of the cylindrical portion, when gripping the cylindrical portion by pinching the cylindrical portion, even if the force acting on the cylindrical portion differs, it is possible to fit the gripping fingers into the cylindrical portion. In addition, since a finger rest is continuously provided on one end side of the cylindrical portion, when the finger pads of the pinching fingers are brought into contact with the finger rest and gripped, the fingers of the pinching fingers are It can improve the feel of your abdomen.

(Example) Examples of the handle grip of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, A is a handle grip that is supported at the tip of the handle B of a fishing reel such as a spinning reel, a closed-face reel, and a double-bearing reel.
A drum-shaped grip body 1 with a circular outer surface and a longer length than the outer shape; grip legs 2 extending in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the grip body 1;
The grip leg 2 has a cylindrical portion 31 that covers the outer periphery of the grip leg 2 over almost its entire length, and a cylindrical finger rest portion 32 that is continuous with one end of the cylindrical portion 31 and covers the outer periphery of the grip body 1. The inner diameter of the cylindrical part 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the grip leg 32, and the finger rest part 3 of the cylindrical part 31 has a flexible cover 3.
A space 4 is provided between the inner surface on the second side and the outer surface of the grip leg 2 facing the inner surface to allow elastic deformation of the cylindrical portion 31 toward the outer surface of the grip leg 2.

In the above configuration, the cover 3 is formed of an elastic material such as silicone rubber, and the cylindrical portion 31 and the finger rest portion 32 are integrally molded,
The inner surface of these cylindrical portions 31 and the inner surface of the finger rest portion 32 are made continuous.

Further, the cylindrical portion 31 is formed into a cylindrical shape that tapers toward the tip from a portion connected to the finger rest portion 32, and has a first wall thickness in the same direction as the length direction of the grip body 1. T ₁ is made thinner than the second wall thickness T ₂ in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the grip main body 1 to form the space 4 between the inner surface in the first wall thickness T ₁ direction and the grip leg 2. When the first wall thickness T1 is sandwiched between the outside surfaces in _{the 1} direction, the first wall thickness T
At the same time as the thickness in the _T1 direction decreases, the second thickness decreases.
T The thickness in _two directions is increased.

Further, the grip body 1 and the grip legs 2 are independent, and the grip body 1 is provided with a screw hole 11 extending radially outward from the protruding outer surface of the grip legs 2. A threaded portion 21 is provided on the outer periphery of the base end, and this threaded portion 21 is screwed into the threaded hole 11.

Further, the grip leg 2 has a square flange 2 on the outer periphery of the tip.
2, is formed into a cylindrical shape with the threaded portion 21 on the outer periphery of the base end, and is rotatably supported on the handle B via the support shaft 5.

This support shaft 5 has a large diameter part 51 in the middle, one end is inserted into a mounting hole provided in the handle B and fixed by caulking, and the grip is attached to the outer periphery of the other end from the large diameter part 51. Supports leg 2 freely in rotation,
The edges protruding outward from the grip legs 2 are caulked.

The illustrated handle grip A has a first thickness H1 of the outer peripheral surface of the main body 1 in the same direction as the length direction of the grip legs 2, and a first thickness _H1 in the same direction as the length direction of the grip legs 2. The second thickness of H ₂
The outer surface 1a, 1 in the first thickness _H1 direction is made thinner.
b and the finger rest part 32 of the cover 3, a space 6 that allows elastic deformation due to the gripping force of the finger rest part 32;
There are 7. the first thickness direction outer surface 1a;
1b is curved to bulge inward as shown in FIG. 1, but it may also be flat.

The handle grip A constructed as described above is rotatably supported by the handle B via the support shaft 5, and is gripped by an angler to drive the handle B when fishing.

In this case, although the way of gripping varies depending on the angler, in the handle grip having the structure described above, the leg 2 is held between the middle finger and the ring finger of the gripping hand as shown in FIG. , the first wall thickness T ₁ portion of the cylindrical portion 31 covering the grip legs 2 is pinched, and the grip main body 1 is usually gripped in this pinched state.

The grip leg 2 is covered with a cylindrical portion 31 of the flexible cover 3, and there is a space between the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 31 having the first thickness T ₁ and the grip leg 2. Since there is a space 4 that allows elastic deformation of the grip leg 2 to the outer surface of the grip leg 2, the cylindrical portion 31 can be elastically deformed when the cylindrical portion 31 is pinched and gripped. That is, when the grip body 1 is gripped by bending the middle finger and the ring finger, which hold the cylindrical part 31 between them, toward the palm side, the cylindrical part 31 has the following properties:
A force that presses the cylindrical portion 31 inward in the radial direction is applied. Therefore, depending on the angler, the cylindrical portion 3
Even if there is a difference in the force pressing the cylinder part 1, the cylinder part 31 can be elastically deformed not only in the thickness direction due to its material, but also more elastically than this elastic deformation due to the space 4. It becomes. As a result, even if there is a difference in the displacement amount of elastic deformation, the cylindrical portion 31 can be elastically deformed according to the pressing force, and in any case, the pinching fingers can be adapted to the cylindrical portion 31 and the fitting can be performed. It is possible to do so. Therefore, depending on the strength of the grip and the size of the hand, the pinching fingers, that is, the middle finger and the ring finger, can be adapted to the cylindrical portion 31 and fit, and the cylindrical portion Since the finger pad 32 is continuously provided on one end side of the gripper 31, when the finger pads of the pinching fingers are brought into contact with the finger pads 32 and gripped, the feel of the finger pads of the pinching fingers is good. It is possible, therefore,
Furthermore, the pain caused by the pinched fingers can be greatly reduced, and the fatigue of these fingers per unit time can be reduced.

Also, as in the embodiment, the first thickness of the grip body 1
By making H ₁ thinner than the second thickness H ₂ and providing spaces 6 and 7 between the outer surfaces 1 a and 1 b in the first thickness direction and the finger rest 32 , the grip leg 2
When gripping the grip main body 1 in a state where the grip body 1 is pinched, the pads of the pinching fingers come into close contact with the part of the finger rest 32 on the space 6 side, and the part of the finger rest 32 on the space 6 side is elastically deformed. and hit it well.
Further, the thumb side part of the palm is in close contact with the space 7 side part of the finger rest part 32, so that the part on the side of the space 7 of the finger rest part 32
The side parts elastically deform and fit well. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the best grip comfort and to further reduce hand fatigue per unit time.Furthermore, since the finger rest portion 32 is cylindrical, the feel when gripping is improved. can be made softer.

Also, when removing the grip main body 1, use the square flange 22 of the grip leg 2 and remove the square flange 22.
The grip leg 2 is rotated with respect to the support shaft 5 by locking a tool such as a wrench, and the grip body 1 is moved relative to the grip leg 2 in the screwing direction to remove the grip body 1.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the finger rest part 32 of the cover 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape, but this finger rest part 32
may be provided only at a portion of the grip main body 1 that faces the extended outer circumferential surface of the grip leg 2. In this case, the finger rest 32 is held on the grip main body 1 by a holding means such as adhesive or fitting. For example, only the peripheral edge of the finger rest is held, and the inner part of the finger rest and the The space 6 may be provided between the cover 3 and the grip body 1, and the shape of the cover 3 is not particularly limited.

Further, the cylindrical portion 31 may be formed to have the same thickness so that the space 4 has a circular shape.

Further, in the above explanation, the grip main body 1 and the grip legs 2 are made independent, but they may be formed integrally.

Further, the grip leg 2 may be supported on the handle B via the support shaft 5, or may be directly rotatably supported, and the shapes of the grip leg 2 and the grip body 1 are not particularly limited. Not.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention covers the outer periphery of the grip leg with a cylindrical part of a flexible cover, and between the inner surface of this cylindrical part and the outer surface of the grip leg opposite to the inner surface, Since a space is provided to allow elastic deformation of the cylindrical portion toward the outer surface of the grip leg, when the cylindrical portion is pinched and gripped, the cylindrical portion is not only elastically deformed in the thickness direction due to its material, but also deformed due to this elasticity. This means that it can be deformed in the radial direction more than the deformation. Therefore, when gripping the grip body by sandwiching the tubular portion, the strength of the grip by the angler,
Even if the size of the gripping hand is different, a force that presses inward in the radial direction acts on the cylinder, so even if there is a difference in the amount of deformation depending on the magnitude of this pressing force, the size of the space As a result of this action, it is elastically deformed in accordance with the gripping force. Therefore, due to the deformation of the cylindrical portion, when gripping the cylindrical portion by pinching it, even if the force acting on the cylindrical portion differs, it is possible to fit the pinching fingers into the cylindrical portion and fit the grip. In addition, since the finger rest is provided continuously on one end side of the cylindrical part,
When gripping with the finger pads of the pinching fingers in contact with the finger rest, the feel of the finger pads of the pinching fingers can be improved. Therefore, when gripping the grip body by pinching the grip legs and bringing the finger pads of the pinching fingers into contact with the finger rests, the pain in the pinching fingers can be greatly reduced, and the fatigue of these fingers per unit time can be reduced. can be reduced.
