Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fishing rod characterized by a grip portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-24667 discloses a fishing rod in which a thread is wound directly on the outer circumference of a grip member and the surface of the grip portion has irregularities. The presence of the yarn prevents the gripping member from being damaged by an external scratch or impact and protects the gripping member, and also serves as a slip stopper.

[0003]

However, since it is required for the fishing rod to be lightweight, it is common to use a porous member such as a foamable member for the grip member, and a thread is used for the porous member. If wound, depending on the strength of the winding, it may bite into the surface of the porous member and crack or the like may occur in the porous member during use.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod which has a grip portion which is lightweight and has excellent durability.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above object, the present invention has a porous gripping member covered on the outside of a gripping region rod pipe of a fishing rod, and a hard coating integral with the gripping member on the surface of the gripping member. There is provided a fishing rod characterized in that a layer is provided and an outer member that covers the outside of the hard coating layer is provided by using a thread, a tape, a tube or the like. This outer member is not limited to the outermost member of the grip portion, and a synthetic resin may be applied to the surface of the outer member, or non-slip particles may be mixed with the synthetic resin and applied.

Since the grip member is porous, it is lightweight, and since the hard coating layer is integrally provided on the surface of the grip member, when the thread or the like of the outer member is wound on the outside, the porous grip member is Although a pressing force is applied, the pressure is received by the surface of the hard coating layer, and the multi-rigid gripping member does not bite into a thread or the like. Also, after completion of covering with other outer members, even when strongly gripping in fishing rod operation or receiving pressure from the outside, biting does not occur in the porous gripping member by receiving the pressure on the surface of the hard coating layer, The grip is more durable. The outer member that uses a thread or the like provided on the outer side of the hard coating layer protects the hard coating layer by absorbing scratches and impacts received from the outside, and also covers the inside to allow moisture to penetrate into the porous gripping member. It also prevents the grip member from collapsing due to grip pressure together with the hard coating layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a grip portion of a spatula-rod for a spatula as a form example of a fishing rod according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a B portion. The fishing rod is not limited to a spatula and a salmon rod, and may be of any type. A grip member 14, which is a spindle-shaped porous member having an outer shape suitable for gripping, is adhered and fixed to the outside of the grip region of the rod tube 10 reinforced with a reinforcing fiber using a synthetic resin as a matrix. As this porous member, natural cork, powdered cork crushed from this,
Alternatively, there is a synthetic resin material obtained by foaming urethane foam or the like. The foamed synthetic resin material is lighter in weight and lower in cost than natural cork.

A thermosetting synthetic resin such as urethane or epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the porous grip member 14 to integrally form a hard coating layer 16 on the surface of the porous grip member 14. Also, a thermoplastic resin may be coated. According to such a method, the hard coating layer 16 is usually thin, but it is preferable that the region 16A to which a large load is applied when it is gripped is formed to be thick by applying multiple layers.

A synthetic resin 20 similar to the hard coating layer 16 is applied to the surface of the hard coating layer 16, and the yarn 18 is densely wound on the entire surface before the applied synthetic resin is dried. When this synthetic resin is hardened, it functions as a thread stopper, but a similar synthetic resin 20 is applied from above this wound yarn.
Is applied to the entire surface and cured to complete the thread stopper to form the outer member. The thread stopping treatment may be performed by directly applying the synthetic resin to the surface of the hard-line dream 16 instead of directly applying it to the surface of the hard leisure dream 16 after winding the thread 18. If a thermosetting resin is used as this thread-stopping synthetic resin, it has a suitable viscosity in a liquid state, so that it penetrates into the inside of the yarn and can cure the inside of the yarn. By applying the thread stopping synthetic resin, it is possible to more sufficiently prevent water from penetrating from the surface of the grip portion into the porous grip member 14 inside. If non-slip particles or the like are mixed in the thread stopping synthetic resin applied from the surface of the thread, the grip portion does not slip and the fishing rod operation becomes easy.

The end regions 18E and 18F at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rod around which the yarn 18 is wound are prone to the fraying of the yarn, but the fraying of the yarn can be prevented by coating the region with the thread stopper synthetic resin. . Further, instead of applying the thread stopping synthetic resin over the entire area of the wound yarn, it is applied mainly over the end area, and in other areas, the thread stopping action is achieved even if the application amount is reduced. It is highly effective and contributes to the weight reduction of fishing rods.

The yarn may be wound by braiding or the like.
The outer periphery of the hard coating layer 16 may be covered with a tape member or a heat shrinkable tube instead of the yarn. Furthermore, the grip portion can be configured even with the hard coating layer 16 without these outer members. In this case, if the non-slip particles are mixed in the hard coating layer, the operability is improved.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the grip member is porous, it is lightweight, and the hard coating layer is integrally provided on the surface of the grip member. Even when pressure is applied from the outside when winding, or when gripping a fishing rod with a strong grip after completion, the pressure is received by the surface of the hard coating layer and it is prevented from biting into the porous grip member, and the grip portion is durable. The property is improved. The outer member that uses a thread or the like provided on the outer side of the hard coating layer protects the hard coating layer by absorbing scratches and impacts received from the outside, and also covers the inside to allow moisture to penetrate into the porous gripping member. The gripping member is prevented from collapsing due to the gripping pressure together with the hard coating layer, and the durability is excellent.
