DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a swing rod,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a rod tip cap for blind-tubeing the former rod tip of a draw rod capable of storing a rod piece such as a tip and a draw rod provided with the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, products having new functions in fishing rods have been developed. In addition to the development of such new fishing rods, many improvements have been made to the accessories for that purpose. Generally, among fishing rods, a swing rod is extremely useful because a plurality of rod pieces including a tip can be sequentially stored in an original rod, and the rod is easy to carry. By the way, after storing each rod piece including the tip in the former rod,
A cap stopper (accessory) is used to blind the tip of the former pole.

FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 show a conventional pole tip cap 5. FIG. As shown in the figure, the rod tip cap 5 includes a head portion 51 and a body portion 52 that fits into the former rod. In general, the head 51 is made of, for example, wood, and the body 52 is made of, for example, rubber, and the two are integrated using an adhesive or the like. Around the body portion 52, several projections 52T are provided in the axial direction, and a cross-shaped groove 52M that is open to the outside is bored inside. Therefore, appropriate elasticity is given to the body portion 52.

When the rod tip cap 5 is attached to the original rod 1, its body 52 is inserted into the original rod 1 and fixed by its elastic force. Such a swinging rod with the rod tip cap 5 attached thereto is subjected to shaking or vibration while being carried, and the tip 4 stored in the former rod (usually a thread stopper 41 is provided at the tip). (Attached) acts to pop out. The tip 4 often rushes into the groove 52M of the pole tip cap 5 with its momentum.

More specifically, the spikes 4 are too vigorous and fit between the cross grooves having a relatively large area (see FIG. 13). If the rod tip cap 5 is twisted or the force is forcibly pulled out without knowing the fact, the tip 41 of the tip is pulled out with the tip 41 of the tip fitted in the groove 52M of the rod tip cap 5. At this time, a bending force or a torsional force is instantaneously applied to the tip 41 of the tip, and the impact sometimes causes the tip 4 to be broken or cracked (see FIG. 14).

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve these problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to prevent a spike stored in a former rod from being fitted into a cut groove of a rod tip cap for blindly extruding the former rod tip of a swing rod.

This shows a later state. As shown in the figure, the swing rod A is composed of a plurality of rod pieces (for example, a former rod 1, a former rod 2, a second rod piece 3, and a tip 4). The other pole pieces (for example, the front pole piece 2, the second pole piece 3, the tip 4, etc.) are stored in the former pole 1.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show the cap stopper body 5A of the rod tip cap 5, wherein FIG. 2A is a left side view, FIG. 2B is a front view, and FIG. 2C is a right side view. 3 shows a groove closing member 6 for covering the groove 52M of the cap plug main body 5A, (A) is a front view, (B) is a side view, and (C) is a CC enlarged view in (B). It is sectional drawing.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a pole tip cap 5 in which a cap closing body 6 is provided on a cap stopper body 5A. As shown in the figure, the cap plug main body 5A includes the head 51 and the body 5
2 is the same as the conventional one. The head 51 of the cap plug main body 5A is formed in a columnar shape, and its peripheral surface is subjected to unevenness processing, knurling, and the like, and has a finger stopper function. Therefore, as will be described later, when the rod tip cap 5 is attached to the original rod 1, slipping of the fingertip is reliably prevented.

The head 51 is made of wood or metal (for example,
Preferably, reinforced wood is used, such as aluminum or yellow body. The body portion 52 of the cap plug main body 5A is also formed in a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of projections 52T are provided on the circumferential surface thereof (here, four projections 52T are provided). As the material of the body portion 52, a relatively soft soft resin material (for example, synthetic rubber, elastomer, soft synthetic resin, or the like) is employed, and preferably, synthetic rubber is used.

The body portion 52 has a kerf 5 which opens outward.

The groove closing member 6 having such a structure is attached so as to cover an entrance 52M1 of a cut groove 52M (for example, a cross groove) formed in the axial direction of the cap plug main body 5A. That is, the groove closing member 6 is provided at the entrance 52M1 of the kerf.
Is attached so as to cover at least a part of the. By sticking the groove closing member 6 to the body 52 in this manner, the rod tip cap 5 with the cut groove 52M closed is completed.

In this rod tip cap 5, when the tip is stored in the original rod 1 and is carried, even if the tip 4 jumps out and enters the cut groove 52M of the rod cap 5, the entrance 52M1 of the cut groove is formed in the groove 52M1. It is closed by the closing member 6 and does not enter as an obstacle (see FIG. 5). It is preferable to close the cut groove 52M so as to include at least the center P (center portion) of the cut groove 52M.
More preferably, it is closed to cover the entire 2M entrance. When this rod tip cap 5 is removed from the former rod 1, the figure,
The pattern etc. can be visually recognized and it is rich in decorativeness.

[Second Embodiment] FIG. 6 shows a rod tip cap 5 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The groove closing member 6 is provided with a protrusion 6T. The protrusion 6T is fitted into the cut groove 52M, so that the groove closing member 6 is attached to the pole tip cap 5. Since the groove closing member 6 is provided detachably with respect to the pole tip cap 5, there is a merit that the inside of the cut groove can be cleanly cleaned when cleaning the rod tip cap 5.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of a pole tip cap 5. Groove closing member 6
Is formed in a cross shape, and is attached so as to cover the entirety of the entrance 52M1 of the cut groove formed as a cross groove.

In a state where the corrugated plate 6 is inserted, more portions including the center P of the cross groove 52M are closed, so that the tip 4 is prevented from being fitted. If the corrugated body 6 is formed of, for example, plastic, the elastic pressure increases, so that the elasticity of the body 52 is not hindered.

[Seventh Embodiment] FIGS. 11A and 11B show a rod tip cap 5 according to a seventh embodiment. FIG. 11A shows a state before the groove closing member 6 is mounted, and FIG. This shows a state after the member 6 is attached. In this example, the groove closing member 6 is
A cross groove 5 formed as a cross pillar and serving as a kerf
It is inserted into all of the 2M upper and lower, left and right pairs of groove portions. As a result of almost all of the cut grooves 52M being closed by the cross pillars 6, the spikes 4 do not fit at all.

The present invention has been described above.
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various other modifications can be made without departing from the essence thereof. Second
The shape of the protrusion described in the embodiment is not limited as long as it can be attached to the cut groove, for example, even if the shape of the protrusion is formed in a cross shape in accordance with the cross groove of the cut groove Good. Further, the shape of the cut groove is not limited, and it is sufficient that the cut groove has a shape capable of imparting an elastic pressure action to the body portion. The groove closing member is effective as long as it closes a part of the cut groove, particularly a part including the center.

[0033]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, even when the fishing rod is vibrated and the tip jumps out while being carried, the tip does not fit into the cut groove of the cap at all. Therefore, when removing the pole tip cap, the spike does not break or break due to the momentum. Further, since the groove closing member of the present invention has a sufficient effect by being inserted into the groove, it can sufficiently cope with a conventional standard rod end cap and is versatile. Further, when the groove closing member is made removable, cleaning in the groove is also easy.
