Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fishing rod protection cap, and more particularly to a technique for protecting a tip opening of a swing-out type fishing rod.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For example, conventional swing-out type fishing rods that have a moving guide, such as a throwing rod and a rock rod, have fishing rods of this type that have moving guides on their rods, and there are multiple The movement guide is configured so as to be converged on the position of the tip of the base rod.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Taking the throwing rod as an example, this spinning rod uses a spinning reel and prevents the guide from exerting a large resistance on the fishing line delivered from the reel when the tackle is thrown out. It is usual to separate the guide at a position close to the reel as much as possible, and to increase the diameter of the yarn guide member made of ceramic or the like provided in the guide.

[0004] Furthermore, among the throwing rods currently on the market, there are few guide rods arranged at the position closest to the reel, and the rod material directly inserted into the rod (hereinafter referred to as the original rod). It is intended to increase the distance from the reel by providing the rod material directly inserted on the base), and this guide is often configured as a moving guide.

In addition, as described above, when the guide arranged at the closest position to the reel is provided with a large-diameter yarn draft inner member and is large, heavy, and configured as a moving guide, When the fishing rod contracts, the guide often comes into contact with the leading edge of the base rod and damages the leading edge.

This phenomenon is caused by the weighted moving guide strongly contacting the base rod due to its weight, and at the time of this contact, the movement guide moves due to the disorder of the posture of the moving guide. The corners of the guide may come into contact with the rod, and the vibration of this moving guide may come into contact with the rod during transport of the rod in a contracted state, which may cause damage and other problems. desired.

Incidentally, when the tip portion of the base rod is damaged in this way, a crack called a "end of mouth" is generated at the tip portion due to the decrease in the strength of this portion, and It may lead to breakage.

The object of the present invention is to prevent the tip of the rod material from being damaged even in a fishing rod having a structure in which a weighted guide in a contracted state contacts the tip portion of the rod material, such as a throwing rod. Is to reasonably configure.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The feature of the present invention is that the base rod of the swing-out type fishing rod or a fitting portion that is frictionally fitted to the tip of the intermediate rod is formed of a flexible member, and the tip edge of the base rod or the intermediate rod is formed. To form a protective member formed integrally with the distal end portion of the fitting portion so as to project radially inward or outward of the fitting portion, and An opening that allows the rod material to be inserted into the protective portion is formed, and a split groove that opens from this opening to the rear end edge of the fitting portion is formed. Its action and effect are as follows. ..

[0010]

[Action]

 If the above features are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, when the fishing rod is contracted, the split groove 11 of the cap C is opened so that the fitting portion 8 can be the original rod 1 (if the rod material to be protected is the original rod). By fitting the tip of the intermediate rod 3 in addition to the rod 1) and arranging the protective portion 9 thereof at a position to cover the tip edge of the base rod 1, the guide 4 is attached to the tip edge of the rod 1. There is no direct contact, and even if this guide 4 is configured as a moving guide and the posture may be disturbed, the guide 4 vibrates when carrying in a contracted state. Also, the protective portion 9 made of a flexible member serves as a buffer to suppress damage to the tip edge of the base rod 1.

That is, in the present invention, as compared with the case where the tip edge of the rod material is prevented from being damaged as described above, for example, a ring-shaped protective member is arranged between the guide and the rod material. Further, since the fitting portion 8 is provided integrally with the protection portion 9, it is well held against the rod material and the position is stable, and at the same time, the entire protection cap C is formed of a flexible member. The part of the split groove 11 can be easily enlarged, so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the fishing rod.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 Therefore, even in a fishing rod having a structure in which a weighted guide in a contracted state contacts the tip of the rod, such as a throwing rod, a cap that does not damage the tip of the rod is reasonably constructed. is there. In particular, this invention has an effect that the cap can be easily attached and detached and that the position of the cap is stable when the cap is used.
