The luminous layer is coated with a transparent protecting layer 16 and the luminous material is readily densified to improve its durability.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod having improved visibility even at night. However, the present invention is not limited to fishing rods, and can be used for fishing tackles such as reels, floats, and lures.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, fishing rods are coated with fluorescent paint so that night fishing can be carried out, and actual exploitation 64-1718.
No. 0 gazette, a fishing rod with a tubular light emitter attached to the tip, and, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-91328, a battery is installed in the rear part and light emission from an LED etc. in the front part. There are things such as supplying power to the body with lead wires.

[0003]

However, there are drawbacks such that the coating of the fluorescent coating has a low brilliance and does not emit light completely in the dark. In those disclosed in the two publications, the fishing line may be caught by the light emitting body and may be entangled with the fishing line, and these light emitting bodies may be lost because they are separate parts from the fishing rod.
In particular, the one disclosed in the latter publication has a drawback that the weight of the fishing rod becomes heavy and the weight of the fishing rod makes the rod unfavorable.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod which can be visually recognized for a long time even in the dark and is practical for night fishing, which can prevent an increase in weight and is less likely to be entangled with a thread, and which is excellent in operability of a fishing rod.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms a phosphorescent layer in which fine particle-like phosphorescent materials are three-dimensionally densely arranged on the outside of a fishing rod, and a transparent layer is formed on the outside of the phosphorescent layer. The present invention provides a fishing rod characterized by having a protective layer formed thereon.

[0006]

[Function] Since the light-accumulating material in the form of fine particles is used, it can be mixed into synthetic resin, paint, ink, etc., and layered on the outside of the fishing rod.
Alternatively, it can be integrally formed into an appropriate shape such as a dot shape, and since it is densely arranged three-dimensionally, the glitter is improved. Furthermore,
A transparent protective layer is formed on the outside of the phosphorescent layer, and the phosphorescent material inside is easy to be densely arranged because it is held by this protective layer. Contact with water can be prevented and durability is improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows the tip of a hollow fishing rod as a fishing rod according to the present invention. Top guide 12
On the tip rod 10 with the attached, the light-storing layers 14 having an appropriate width are arranged at appropriate intervals, and the longitudinal section thereof is enlarged and shown in FIG. A coating film 10B of an appropriate color is formed on the surface of the tip rod main body 10A formed by the prepreg. The phosphorescent layer 14 is formed on this coating film, and in order to protect the phosphorescent layer 14, it is transparent or semi-transparent. A transparent protective layer 16 is formed on the surface.

The phosphorescent layer 14 is a fine particle-shaped phosphorescent material 14.
A is mixed with a matrix 14B of synthetic resin, paint, ink, or the like, and three-dimensionally densely arranged in a superimposed state to be integrally formed on the surface of the fishing rod 10. By arranging these three-dimensionally densely arranged, the luminous brightness of the luminous layer 14 is improved and the visibility is improved. The phosphorescent material is Al ₂ O ₃ , BaC
It is safe because it contains oxides and salts such as o ₃ and SrCl ₂ , emits light for a long time, and does not contain radioactive substances. The size of the particles is 2 to 150 microns, preferably about 10 microns (3 to 15 microns). When these particles are formed in a superposed state and the thickness of the phosphorescent layer 14 is set to 30 to 300 μm, which is twice the particle diameter or more, preferably 50 μm or more, the emission brightness is improved. The volume ratio (or weight ratio) of mixing with a synthetic resin or the like is preferably 1/3 or more. Even if the light-storing layer 14 is formed thick in this way, it is lighter in weight as compared with a light emitting body as a conventional component, and hardly protrudes from the surface of the fishing rod, so that the fishing line can be prevented from being entangled and the fishing rod can be operated. Good sex.

The phosphorescent materials SiO ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , TiO ₂ ,
The same SiO is formed on the surface of the oxide sintered substrate made of ZrO _2.
When a coating layer containing an oxide such as ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , TiO ₂ and ZrO ₂ as a main component is formed, the light emitting performance is improved by sealing. This coating layer may be a non-metal material such as synthetic resin or ceramics. Further, the luminous layer can be heated to improve the light emitting performance. Therefore, an exothermic paint layer may be formed on the lower surface of the luminous layer. For example, the paint layer of the electric resistor may be energized to generate heat, or electromagnetic heat such as eddy current may be generated.

The protective layer 16 is provided to protect the light storage layer 14 from damage even if it interferes with the outside, to protect it from water wetting, and to seal the light storage layer 16. The protective layer 16 is formed only on the surface of the light-storing layer 14 as shown in FIG. 2, and the fishing rod 1 is formed by using a clear material of so-called clear coating.
It may be formed so as to extend over the surface of zero. Further, since the phosphorescent material deteriorates when irradiated with ultraviolet rays, it is preferable that the protective layer 16 contains an ultraviolet absorber or the matrix 14B of the phosphorescent layer 14 contains an ultraviolet absorber.
When the color of the coating film 10B is black, a white coating film or a mirror surface portion such as silver is formed between the coating film 10B and the phosphorescent layer 14,
If a phosphorescent layer is formed thereon, the light emitted from the phosphorescent material 14A can be reflected by a white coating film or the like, and the visibility of the fishing rod from the outside is further improved.

Not only the light-storing layer but also a light-emitting source for irradiating the light-storing layer with light to improve the light-emitting performance of the light-storing layer may be provided. In order to prevent the fishing rod from getting out of order, it is preferable to dispose the fishing rod on the rear side of the luminous layer and as close to the rod base as possible. Visibility is improved in both the light-storing layer and the light-emitting source, and since both are present, one light-emitting source may be small, and the size and weight can be reduced.

If the fishing rod 10 'has a sufficient wall thickness, a concave portion 10H as shown in FIG. 3 is formed, and a luminous layer 14 is formed in the concave portion 10H to form a thicker portion. It is difficult for the layer 14 to be peeled off from the surface of the fishing rod. Of course, it is preferable to form a protective layer on this surface together with the surface of the fishing rod. FIG. 4 shows that the concave portion 20H is formed in the fixed cylindrical portion 20A of the fishing line guide component 20 at the tip, and the luminous layer 14 is formed therein. Further, in FIG. 5, a concave portion 22H is formed in the reinforcing mouthpiece 22 at the tip portion of the fishing rod 10 ', and the luminous layer 14 is formed in this.

In addition to this, a luminous layer is formed on the grip of the fishing rod so that the position of the grip can be easily confirmed, and a luminescent material is mixed in the thread stopper of the thread winding section of the grip or the like. It is possible to improve the visibility of the grip portion without interfering with the functions of the thread stopper and the slip stopper by being mixed in the slip stopper protrusion formed by the overlaying of ink by screen printing or the like. In addition to the fishing rod, as described above, the present invention can be applied to fishing tackles such as reels, floats, and lures. Further, if it is formed only on the upper half of the fishing rod or the like, the visibility can be improved with a minimum amount of material and an increase in weight.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it can be visually recognized for a long time even in darkness, has durability and is practical for night fishing, and can prevent weight increase and prevent thread entanglement. It is difficult to provide a fishing rod with excellent operability.
