[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fishing rod having a grip portion. The grip portion described in this specification includes a grip portion that is originally formed only for gripping, as well as a reel mounting portion that may be gripped.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A reel mounting portion of a handle of a casting rod type fishing rod is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-241834, and from the viewpoint of ease of manufacturing, weight, etc., the reel mounting portion (reel seat) The structure is devised. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-174624 discloses a structure of a handle in which a lower side of a reel mounting portion is formed wide from the viewpoint of improving a fit feeling at the time of palming.

Further, regarding a grip for a fishing rod, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-62567 discloses an appendage having a non-circular cross section that covers the reel mounting part and its rear part from the viewpoint of easy gripping and operation. Fixation is disclosed. Further, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-24668, an inclined grip portion is formed so as to bulge on the rear grip of the casting handle in order to facilitate gripping and operation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 60-241834 is easier to manufacture than the conventional one, and the weight is reduced, but the grip portion is large when the handle is gripped and operated. Only circumferential slippage is likely to occur. Further, the one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-174624 is easy to perform palming, but the reel mounting portion is wide and accordingly large in weight, so that the weight becomes heavy and the bottom surface of the reel mounting portion has a smooth curved surface. Due to the shape, slippage in the circumferential direction easily occurs.

The grips disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-62567 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-24668 have long grips in the longitudinal direction of the rod tube and a large diameter grip although they are easy to grip. The weight is increased by forming the portion. In addition, the outer shape of the grip portion is simple and has a smooth shape, and it is not possible to sufficiently secure the grip of the gripping hand, and there is the drawback that it is slippery.

[0006] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that is lightweight and easy to grip, is not slippery, and has a grip part that is easy to care for and that is free from dust and bait.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of the above object, the present invention has a rod main body having a portion in which a rod pipe is inserted into a portion that is a gripping portion of a fishing rod, the gripping portion having a portion that bulges with respect to the rod pipe, and a gripping hand. A filling member that fills a space between the bulging portion and the rod tube so as to form a step between the surface of the bulging portion serving as a contact area, and is lighter than the specific gravity of the grip body. And a member made of.

[0008]

[Action]

 If the material of the grip body is completely filled and covered with the material of the grip body, the weight cannot be reduced, but the basic structure of the grip that has a bulge with respect to the rod tube is the grip body. Is formed by filling the gap between the bulging part of the gripping part body and the rod tube with a lighter material filling member, and there is no gap where dust and food are accumulated. . Furthermore, since a step is formed between the surface of the bulging portion, which is the contact area of the gripping hand, and the filling member, an appropriate degree of catching occurs and it is hard to slip and easy to grip.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. This fishing rod is for fishing small items, and is an example of a lightweight type fishing rod that requires a delicate fishing operation rather than a gripping force. A rod tail grip portion 12 dedicated to gripping the rod tube 10 and a reel mounting portion 16 are formed. The reel mounting portion 16 is composed of a front grip portion 20, a rear grip portion 18, and a reel mounting portion main body 14 whose surface is made of a material that is soft to grip.

A female screw 20A is formed on the inner circumference of the front grip 20 and a male screw 14A is formed on the outer circumference of the front part of the reel mounting portion main body 14. By screwing both members, the foot receiving opening 28A is inserted. The foot portion 24A of the reel leg 24 is received and fixed. On the other hand, a foot receiving opening 28B, which is arranged at a fixed position so as to face the foot receiving opening 28A and receives the other foot tip portion 24B, is formed in the rear portion of the reel mounting portion main body 14.

The reel mounting portion main body 14 is formed so as to bulge on the side opposite to the side where the reel legs 24 are mounted with respect to the rod tube 10. When the reel mounting portion 16 is gripped for fishing operation. In addition, the presence of this bulge increases the vertical width, improving the stability of gripping. As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the reel leg 24 includes a narrow portion 22 that is narrower than the width of the reel mounting portion main body 14 in the vicinity of the front and rear reel foot openings (28A, 28B) as shown in FIG. It is formed at a position near the portion 24A. This narrow portion 22 is also a bulge portion.

When gripping the reel mounting portion main body 14, usually, the index finger and the middle finger are positioned on the side of the foot 24A of the reel leg 24, and the ring finger and the little finger are positioned on the side of the remaining foot 24B. To do. As a result, the middle finger is caught on the narrow portion 22, and the fishing rod can be operated mainly with the middle finger, which enables delicate operation.

However, in this delicate operation, if there is no member 26 described later between the rod tube 10 and the narrow portion 22 of the reel mounting portion main body 14, as can be seen especially with reference to FIG. There is a case where it enters too much between the rod pipe 10 and the narrow portion 22 and the stability of gripping is adversely affected. In addition, food and other debris attached to the hands easily enter this narrow space and easily attach to it. In order to solve the problem, it is possible to fill this space with the same material that forms the reel mounting portion main body 14, but there is a new problem that the weight becomes heavy.

Therefore, in the present invention, the weight can be reduced by forming the filling member 26 that fills the space with a lightweight material such as cork or EVA, which has a smaller specific gravity than the plastic material of the reel mounting portion main body 14, which can be called a gripping portion main body. While achieving the above, delicate fishing operation is possible. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer shape of the filling member 26 is configured so that both side edges of the narrow portion 22 are exposed to form a step portion 22A on which a hand or a finger is caught to some extent. This further improves the gripping property.

However, the shape of the filling member 26 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and other suitable shapes can be adopted. The lightweight filling member 26 may have a generally fragile property such as cork, so that it can be prevented from collapsing due to contact of the reel leg 24 when it is attached, or from the viewpoint of design, it is a hard plate member. The lower part is protected by 25.

The rear portion of the reel mounting portion main body 14 is an extended portion 14B extended to above the rear side grip portion 18. This is a rear portion when the reel mounting portion main body 14 is gripped by hand. Even if there is a step between the side grip 18 and the side grip 18, it is devised so that the step is not gripped. This is a form that does not affect the essence of the present invention, and other forms may be adopted. I can do it.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. This fishing rod is a casting rod and shows the handle. A rear grip portion 12 'and a front grip portion 20', which are dedicated grip portions, are attached to the rod tube 10, and a portion between them is configured as a reel attachment portion 16 '.

The front grip 20 ′ has the same structure as the front grip 20 of the first embodiment, and the upper surface of the front of the reel mounting part main body 14 ′ made of hard plastic, which is also the gripping part main body, is a reel. The reel foot rest 24 is formed, and the inner periphery of the front grip 20 'and the reel foot rest 24 form a front reel foot receiving port 28A'. On the other hand, a rear reel foot receiving port 28B 'facing the front reel foot receiving port 28A' is formed in the rear portion of the reel mounting portion main body 14 '.

As shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the reel mounting portion main body 14 ′ in plan view bulges to the side of the rod tube 10, and its ridge line 39 has a tapered elliptical shape. A cross-sectional view of the bulged bridge portion 38 is shown in FIG. The bridge portion 38 is located slightly above the rod tube 10. When the reel mounting portion main body 14 'is gripped, the palm and fingers of the bridge portion 38 are located on the lower surface 38S of the bridge portion 38 and the lower surface of the rod tube 10. As shown by the chain double-dashed line HL, the bending of the hand or fingers becomes a smooth curved shape while being in contact with, and gripping becomes easy. Further, the presence of the bridging portion 38 widens the gripping portion at the time of palming, and generally the gripping can be facilitated.

However, when the filling member 26 ′ is not provided between the rod tube 10 and the bridge portion 38, the same problem as in the case of the first embodiment occurs although the amount is small. Therefore, similarly, a filling member 26 'such as a lightweight cork or EVA is interposed. Therefore, bait and other debris do not invade and adhere between them. In this case as well, the cross-sectional shape of the filling member 26 'is devised so as to form a step portion 38A between the palm portion and the lower surface 38S of the bridge portion 38 which is a surface to be gripped by a finger. This eliminates slippage when gripping and improves gripping performance. Further, since the reel mounting portion main body 14 'is filled with a material having a smaller specific gravity, the weight can be reduced.

7 to 10 show a third embodiment according to the present invention. This shows a spinning handle portion to which a spinning reel is attached, and a front grip portion 20 ″ and a rear grip portion 12 ″ for gripping are attached to the rod tube 10. Further, a reel mounting portion 56 is provided between them. Insert the foot of the reel leg into the reel foot receiving port 28B ″ of the moving hood 54 that covers the rear end of the reel seat body 58 and the front fixed reel foot receiving port 28A ″, and tighten the tightening nut 55. The moving hood 54 is moved forward by the tightening to fix the reel leg.

The rear grip portion 12 ″ has a front portion 70 and a rear portion 72 fixed to the rod tube 10 by an adhesive, and a bulge that bulges upward with respect to the rod tube 10 between them. A part 68 is formed. Since the bulging portion 68 is gripped, it is easy to grip. In this example as well, for the same reason as in the first and second embodiments, a lightweight part such as cork or EVA having a smaller specific gravity than the member of the bulging part is provided between the rod tube 10 and the bulging part 68. The material is interposed as the filling member 26 ″. Further, the outer shape of the filling member 26 ″ is formed so as to form a stepped portion 68 A between the filling member 26 ″ and the surface of the bulging portion 68 (a region where a palm or a finger comes into contact).

In this way, while achieving weight reduction, bait and other dust are prevented from entering and adhering, and further, the stepped portion 68A prevents the hand from slipping, and the presence of the bulging portion 68 improves the gripping property.

The rear grip portion 12 ″ has a finger rest surface 76 on which a finger is placed when the rear grip portion is gripped and a flat portion 78 on which the palm is placed, on the upper surface thereof. ing.

In the above example, the stepped portion formed between the surface of the swelling portion of the grip body is formed by the shape of the filling member. For example, the filling member is soft and elastic like EVA foamed resin. When it is formed of a flexible material, even if there is no step between the bulging portion surface and the bulging portion surface, the step portion is formed by compressive deformation when gripped by a hand. The step of the present invention includes such a step.

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a portion of the fishing rod that serves as a gripping portion is lighter than a material of the gripping body between a portion that is bulged with respect to the rod tube and the rod tube. It is lightweight because it is filled with material, and it is easy to maintain because there is no intrusion of food or other debris. Furthermore, since there is a step between the surface of the bulging part and the filling member, the palms and the flesh of the fingers are not caught easily on the stepped part, and the gripping property of the bulging part is improved. Is improved.
