Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod, and more particularly, to a fishing rod for inserting a fishing line into a fishing rod body and a fishing line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been used a so-called centering rod of a type in which a fishing rod main body is formed of a tubular body having a hollow portion, and a fishing line is passed through the hollow portion. This middle fishing rod has less entanglement of the fishing line with the guide and is excellent in operability of the fishing rod as compared with a normal fishing rod in which a guide for passing the fishing line is provided on the outside of the fishing rod body.

However, in the case of a hollow fishing rod, when the fishing line put in water is wound up, the fishing line brings water droplets to the hollow portion of the fishing rod body, and the water droplets adhere to the inner wall of the fishing rod body. When the fishing line is inserted into the fishing rod body while water droplets are attached to the inner wall surface of the fishing rod body, the resistance of the water droplets adhering to the inner wall surface prevents the fishing line from smoothly passing through the fishing rod body. There is a problem that the operability of is deteriorated.

In order to solve such a problem, a hollow rod having a resin layer containing fluororesin particles on the inner wall surface of a fishing rod main body, which is a tubular body, has been developed in the past (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 5 (1993) -58)
268858). This centering rod improves the water repellency of the inner wall surface of the fishing rod body to prevent water droplets from adhering to the inner wall surface.

[0005]

However, in the hollow rod having the above-mentioned resin layer, the water repellency of the inner wall surface is improved, so that the attached water droplets are easily moved, but the water droplets are not completely removed. Instead, they will remain scattered on the inner wall. At this time, the contact angle between the inner wall surface and water is in the range of about 90 ° to 110 °. When the fishing line is inserted into the fishing rod body with the water droplets scattered on the inner wall as described above, the resistance due to the water droplets is not necessarily smaller than that when the resin layer is not provided. For this reason, with the hollow fishing rod having the resin layer, the fishing line cannot be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod main body.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing rod and a fishing line in which the resistance applied to the fishing line in the fishing rod body is reduced and the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod body. To aim.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have provided water repellency higher than the level of water repellency generally used conventionally, that is, super water repellency, to the inner wall surface of a fishing rod main body. As a result, it was found that the resistance due to water droplets was reduced, and the present invention was accomplished.

That is, the first invention of the present invention is characterized by comprising a tubular body having a hollow portion into which a fishing line can be inserted, and a super water-repellent layer formed on an inner wall surface of the tubular body. Provide a fishing rod.

A second aspect of the present invention provides a fishing line comprising a fishing line main body and a super water-repellent layer formed on the fishing line main body. Here, in the first and second inventions of the present invention, the super-hydrophobic property means that when wetted with water, water droplets are not formed and all water is beaded and removed, or minute water droplets are removed. It refers to the nature of leaving a part. Specifically, the surface having superhydrophobicity means that the contact angle θ with water is 120 ° or more, preferably 150 ° to 18 °.
Refers to a surface that is 0 °.

In the first and second aspects of the present invention,
The super water-repellent layer is made of nickel, nickel alloy,
A dispersion plating method using a metal, such as copper, a copper alloy, tin, or a tin alloy, in which fluorine compound particles or fluorine compound fibers are dispersed, is used. As the fluorine compound particles or fluorine compound fibers, fluorinated graphite particles having an average molecular weight of about 8,000 to 10,000, polytetrafluoroethylene fine particles, and the like can be used.

In the superhydrophobic property, the number of fluorine atoms is a fixed ratio (eg, 2) to the total number of atoms existing on the surface of the layer.
0%) or more, it is a characteristic that is exhibited,
The super water-repellent layer can be formed by a layer forming method in which relatively many fluorine atoms are present on the surface of the layer. As such a method, an epoxy resin or an acrylic urethane resin mixed with fine particles having a particle size of 1 μm or less is used in an amount of 10 μm.
Method of applying thinly with a certain thickness and drying, or affixing the tape in which the epoxy resin or acrylic urethane resin is evenly adhered to the tape base material having an adhesive layer on the inner wall surface of the tubular body or the fishing line body, and then the tape Examples include a method of removing only the base material.

The thickness of the superhydrophobic layer of the tubular body in the fishing rod according to the first invention is preferably as thick as possible in consideration of wear resistance, but is preferably 10 to several hundreds of μm.
If the thickness of the superhydrophobic layer of the tubular body is less than 10 μm, the superhydrophobic effect is not sufficiently exerted. On the other hand, the thickness of the super water-repellent layer in the fishing line according to the second invention is preferably 1 to several μm. This is because the thickness of the superhydrophobic layer of the fishing line is 1
If it is less than μm, it does not exert a sufficient super water-repellent effect,
This is because the weight of the fishing line increases at the m level.

In the first invention, as the material of the tubular body, when the tubular body is used for a fishing rod main body, carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, alumina fiber or other reinforcing fiber is used as a thermosetting resin. It is possible to use a material obtained by mixing a matrix material of a thermoplastic resin such as or a polyether ether ketone resin or a polyether imide resin. In addition, this tubular body heats the material
It is formed by pressurizing and curing. On the other hand, when the tubular body is used as the guide, synthetic resin, metal, or ceramics can be used.

The first aspect of the invention can be applied to a fishing rod whose tubular body is a fishing rod body, and can also be applied to a fishing rod which is a guide provided on the outside of the fishing rod body.

In the second invention, as the material of the fishing line body, polyamide resin such as nylon, polyethylene resin, polyester resin or the like can be used. It goes without saying that by using the fishing rod according to the first invention and the fishing line according to the second invention, the fishing line can be more smoothly inserted into the fishing rod body.

[0016]

The fishing rod of the present invention comprises a tubular body having a hollow portion into which a fishing line can be inserted, and a super water-repellent layer formed on the inner wall surface of the tubular body. In the super water-repellent layer on the inner wall surface of the tubular body, the water droplets brought into the tubular body easily become beads and are removed to the outside of the tubular body. Therefore, it is possible to remove water droplets that cause resistance of the fishing line. As a result, the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod body, and the operability of the fishing rod is improved.

The fishing line of the present invention is characterized by comprising a fishing line body and a super water-repellent layer formed on the fishing line body. The super water-repellent layer on the fishing line body prevents water droplets from adhering to the fishing line. Therefore, even if the fishing line is inserted into the tubular body of the fishing rod, the fishing line does not bring the water droplet into the tubular body, and the water droplet is prevented from adhering to the inner wall surface of the tubular body. As a result, the fishing line can be delivered and wound smoothly.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. (Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment (middle fishing rod) of the present invention. In the figure, 10 indicates a tip rod. A top guide 11 is attached to one (small diameter side) of the tip rod 10. The small diameter side of the middle rod 12 is attached to the other (large diameter side) of the tip rod 10, and the small diameter side of the original rod 13 is attached to the large diameter side of the middle rod 12.

A fishing line introduction guide 14 is provided on the base rod 13. In addition, the fishing line introduction guide 14 of the base rod 13
A reel fixing device 15 is attached on the larger diameter side, and a reel 17 around which a fishing line 16 is wound is fixed to the reel fixing device 15. Further, a rod end component 18 is attached to the rear end of the original rod 13.

In the hollow fishing rod having such a structure, the fishing line 16 wound around the reel 17 is used as the fishing line introduction guide 1.
4 is inserted into the rod and is exposed from the top guide 11.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the portion A of the tip rod 10 shown in FIG. Reference numeral 20 in the figure denotes a tubular body that is the main body of the tip rod. A super water repellent layer 21, which is a super water repellent layer, is formed on the inner wall surface of the tubular body 20. The super water-repellent layer 21 is formed by a dispersion plating method using a plating solution in which nickel is used as a base material and graphite fluoride particles are dispersed therein. The configuration shown in FIG. 2 is common not only to the tip rod 10 but also to the region on the smaller diameter side of the fishing line introduction guide 14 in the middle rod 12 and the main rod 13. In addition,
In this super water-repellent layer 21, it was confirmed that the water droplets were in the form of beads and were able to move easily, and that the super water repellency was exhibited.

In the hollow rod having such a structure, in the super water-repellent layer on the inner wall surface of the tubular body, the water droplets brought into the tubular body by the fishing line easily become a ball shape, and the water droplets are formed outside the tubular body. To be removed. For this reason, almost no water droplets exist inside the tubular body, the resistance caused by the water droplets disappears, and the fishing line can be smoothly inserted. As a result, the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod, and the operability of the fishing rod is improved.

The reason why the resistance of the fishing line increases when water droplets are present in the tubular body is considered as follows. When the fishing line passes through scattered water droplets, the fishing line receives resistance as it passes through the air-water interface (33 in FIG. 3). When water droplets are scattered, the number of times the fishing line passes through the interface between air and water increases, and as a result, the resistance that the fishing line receives increases. (Comparative Example) For comparison, a hollow rod having the same configuration as that of the example was prepared, except that the super water-repellent layer was not formed on the inner wall surfaces of the tubular bodies of the tip rod, the middle rod, and the base rod. In this hollow fishing rod, as shown in FIG. 3, the water droplet 31a attached to the inner wall surface of the tubular body 30 and the water droplet 31b attached to the fishing line 32 are attracted to each other by the surface tension.
Becomes adsorbed in the water droplets. Therefore, when the fishing line moves, it moves while pulling the water droplets, which increases the resistance received by the fishing line. As described above, since this fishing rod has a large resistance to the fishing line, the operability is poor.

In the above embodiment, the case where an untreated fishing line made of nylon having an outer diameter of 0.235 mm is used as the fishing line 16, but the fishing line body has the same surface as the inner wall surface of the tubular body. By using the fishing line formed by forming the super water repellent layer, the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the hollow rod in which the tubular body is the fishing rod main body has been described, but the effect of the present invention is also obtained when the tubular body is a long guide provided outside the fishing rod main body. Is demonstrated. In addition, the present invention is
As long as the fishing line is inserted into the tubular body, it can be applied to all.

[0026]

As described above, since the fishing rod of the present invention has the super water-repellent layer on the inner wall surface of the tubular body having the hollow portion into which the fishing line can be inserted, the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod body. It can be done. Further, since the fishing line of the present invention has the super water-repellent layer on the fishing line body, the fishing line can be smoothly inserted into the fishing rod body.
