DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a main configuration of a fishing rod according to the present invention. The fishing rod of this embodiment has a laminated structure in which a plurality of layers are laminated by using a high strength and high elasticity fiber material, and the high strength and high elasticity fiber is carbon (carbon) fiber, glass fiber, silicon carbide fiber, or Carbon fiber plated with metal such as copper or nickel,
Alternatively, fine wires such as titanium and stainless steel, carbon fiber,
Examples include braided glass fibers and synthetic fibers.

A lead wire 1 is attached to the base end of the base rod 100 of this fishing rod.
Are connected to each other and are grounded via the lead wire 1. Hereinafter, a high strength and high elasticity fiber, especially a carbon rod made of a carbon fiber material will be described.

First, as a precaution, a configuration example of the base rod 100 will be described. The base rod 100 has carbon fiber layers 101 and 102 formed in the circumferential direction of the rod and carbon fiber layers 103 and 104 formed in the axial direction of the rod.
By alternately arranging the carbon fiber layers in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the base rod 100, it is possible to effectively cope with the tensile load (surface layer side) and the compressive load (inner layer side) caused by the curved deformation of the fishing rod.

The carbon fiber layer composed of the inner layer and the surface layer having the desired mechanical strength as described above is covered with the insulating coating layer 105. A coating 106 is usually applied on the insulating coating layer 105. Carbon fiber layers 101, 10
2, 103, 104 are good electric conductors by themselves.

As the insulating material used for the insulating coating layer 105 for coating these carbon fiber layers, aramid insulating paper (ARAMID INSULATING PAPER;
For example, “Nomex”, “Lumilar” or “Aramica” (all of which are trade names or trade names) and polyester films are suitable.

By forming a plurality of layers using these insulating materials, an insulating basic structure having an improved insulating property with respect to the human body is constructed. Furthermore, it may be covered with a covering rubber. Alternatively, a single layer may be formed on the outside of the carbon fiber layer using the above-mentioned insulating material, and a covering rubber may be fitted therein. Now, referring to FIG. 1, the fishing rod of the present invention is grounded via the lead wire 1 connected to the base end of the base rod 100.

In this case, the toothed electrode plate 2 connected to the carbon fiber layer of the original rod 100 is provided at the base end of the original rod 100, and the lead wire 1 is connected to the toothed electrode plate 2 using the crimp terminal 3. . The base end of the base rod 100 and the contact surface or contact surface of the toothed electrode plate 2 form a conductive portion between the two. By applying conductive grease or the like to this contact surface, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering and to secure an effective conductive area. A rod butt (inside) 4 a is fixed around the base end of the original rod 100 with an adhesive material 5.

Further, the rod tail (outer) 4b is adapted to be screwed onto the end of the rod tail (inner) 4a, and the toothed electrode plate 2 is attached to the original rod by screwing the rod tail (outer) 4b. Press on the base end of 100. The covering rubber 10 and the like are attached to the gripping area of the hand of the base rod 100. Here, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show a configuration example of the toothed electrode plate 2. As a material for forming the toothed electrode plate 2, it is preferable to use a material that is unlikely to cause an oxide film and has excellent conductivity and elasticity.

For example, it is selected from nickel silver, beryllium copper, or a stainless steel plate resistant to salt damage. A plurality of cutting bends 2a are formed on the peripheral edge of the toothed electrode plate 2 so as to be in contact with the base end of the base rod 100. The toothed electrode plate 2 includes a screw portion 2b for the screw 6 for fixing the crimp terminal 3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a ground rod 7 is connected to the tip of the lead wire 1. This earth rod 7
For example, it can be formed of a material such as a copper tube or a copper molding angle. When the lead wire 1 and the ground rod 7 are joined, a knot 1a is formed at the tip of the lead wire 1, and this knot 1a is simply inserted into the end of the ground rod 7 and crushed to do so. be able to.

The tip portion 7a of the ground rod 7 is formed at an acute angle as shown in the figure, so that it can be easily pierced into the ground or the like. The angle of the tip portion 7a is usually about 45 °. Further, a connector 8 configured to be freely inserted and removed is attached at an appropriate position on the lead wire 1.

The connector 8 enables the ground rod 7 to be appropriately separated from the base rod 100 according to the necessity of the ground rod 7. In addition, here, FIG. 5 and FIG.
The example of a structure of the water receiving collar body 9 provided in the joining part of 00 and the 2nd rod 200 is shown. The water receiving collar 9 is formed of, for example, a disc-shaped insulating material having flexibility.

As a material for forming the water receiving collar 9, a synthetic resin material such as nylon, polyethylene, polyester or polyurethane or a synthetic rubber material is suitable. The water receiving collar body 9 is provided with a plurality of notches 9a as shown in FIG.
When it is fitted between the second rod 200 and the second rod 200, as shown in FIG. 5, each cut piece 9b is bent.

Since the surface of the fishing rod is coated with, for example, a fluorine-based resin paint, the attached water is converted into water droplets and propagates along the surface of the fishing rod. According to the water receiving collar body 9, such a water drop is prevented from being transmitted to the side of the base rod 100, and also functions sufficiently as a drainer.

In the fishing rod constructed as described above, it is grounded via the lead wire 1 connected to the base end of the base rod 100. In this case, the ground rod 7 attached to the tip of the lead wire 1
It is possible to reliably ground the ground by hammering into the ground. In addition, a toothed electrode plate 2 is provided between the lead wire 1 and the base end of the base rod 100, and especially the cut and bend 2a is formed on the base rod 10.
By biting into the carbon fiber layer at the base end of 0, the lead wire 1 is reliably connected to the carbon fiber layer.

Since the surface of the base rod 100 is covered with the insulating coating layer 105, the fisherman who holds the base rod 100 is insulated from the current path formed by the carbon fiber layer and the lead wire 1 in the rod. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent an electric shock accident of a fisherman.

Further, according to the present invention, the water receiving collar body 9 is provided at an appropriate position of the fishing rod. Especially 100
It is more effective to provide the water receiving collar body 9 having an insulating property at the joint between the second rod 200 and the second rod 200. With this, the original rod 10
The water receiving collar 9 can block water droplets and the like transmitted from the tip of 0 at the hand position. Prevents electric shock due to water adhering to the fishing rod.

FIG. 7 shows an effective use example of the ground rod 7. For example, in so-called moving fishing that moves up and down a mountain stream or the like while swinging a fishing rod, a floating body 30 made of expanded polystyrene or expanded polyethylene as shown in the drawing.
Attach the ground rod 7 to 0 by piercing it.

By using the floating body 300 thus floated on the water surface, it is possible to establish a ground while moving. When the ground rod 7 is unnecessary (for example, when there is no power transmission line in the vicinity), the connector 8 can be removed and the ground rod 7 can be easily removed. By removing the ground rod 7 in this manner, a normal fishing rod can be operated.

Although the present invention has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and various other modifications can be made without departing from the essence thereof. For example, as for the shape of the toothed electrode plate, various modifications are possible as long as the bite connection is made with the carbon fiber layer. Any shape can be adopted as long as the shape of the ground rod is in line with the purpose.
