Description

Fishing rod {FISHING ROD}

The present invention relates to a fishing rod, and more particularly, to the shape of a reel seat on which a fishing reel is mounted.

The fishing rod in which a fishing reel is attached is generally provided with the reel seat in which a fishing reel is attached. 7 is an enlarged view of a main portion showing the structure of a reel seat portion of a conventional fishing rod.

As shown in this figure, the reel seat 1 includes a hood portion 2 and a hood member 4 which is close to and separated in the direction of arrow 3 with respect to the hood portion 2. That is, this reel seat 1 is what is called a screw type. The hood member 4 is provided with the nut 5. The nut 5 meshes with the screw part 6 formed in the fishing rod.

Thus, when the nut 5 rotates, the hood member 4 comes close to and away from the hood portion 2. When the nut 5 is rotated while the leg portion 7 of the reel is disposed between the hood portion 2 and the hood member 4, the hood member 4 moves to the hood portion 2 side, and both The leg 7 of the reel is sandwiched. Accordingly, the fishing reel is fixed to the fishing rod.

Thus, in the structure of the conventional reel seat 1, the leg part 7 of the fishing reel is attached to the hood part 2 and the hood member 4 along the fishing rod longitudinal direction (direction of the said arrow 3). It is embedded by. Therefore, although the leg part 7 of the reel is firmly fixed with respect to the said direction, it is not a grade which a play etc. generate | occur | produce in the horizontal direction (direction perpendicular | vertical to the paper surface in FIG. 7), but it is not fixed firmly. For this reason, for example, in the fishing rod etc. which target a big fish, even if a fishing person can fight in peace, the fishing reel needs to be fixed more firmly to the said horizontal direction than before.

Moreover, when a fish catches, a fisherman usually carries out a reel seat part by hand and performs a fighting. Therefore, the shape of the reel seat portion is preferably fitted to the hands of the angler. In particular, in fishing rods targeting large fish, the request is large.

The present invention has been made under such a background, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that fits into the hands of an angler and supports hard fighting. Moreover, the 2nd objective of this invention is providing the fishing rod which can firmly fix a fishing reel and can respond to hard fighting.

(1) In order to achieve the first object, the fishing rod according to the present application is a fishing rod having a reel seat for supporting a leg portion of a fishing reel for mounting a fishing reel, wherein the reel sheet is a front end of the leg portion Alternatively, either one of the rear end portion may be adjacent to and separated from the first hood portion, which is accommodated and supported by the first hood portion, and the one of the front end portion or the rear end portion of the leg portion may be moved by approaching the first hood portion. It has a 2nd hood part accommodated and supported, and the skirt part arrange | positioned so that the side part of the said leg part supported by the 1st hood part and the 2nd hood part may be covered.

According to this structure, the leg part of a fishing reel is arrange | positioned on a reel seat. The second hood portion is close to the first hood portion while either the front end portion or the rear end portion of the leg portion is supported by the first hood portion. Thereby, either one of the front end part or the rear end part of the said leg part is supported by the 2nd hood part. That is, the front end and the rear end of the leg portion of the fishing reel are fixed by the first hood portion and the second hood. At this time, since the side part of the leg part of a fishing reel is heated by a skirt part, a clearance gap does not arise between a reel seat and the leg part of a fishing reel.

That is, the leg portion of the fishing reel is usually formed in a T-shape, and both ends (the front end and the rear end) of the leg portion formed in the T-shape are fixed, so that, for example, in the state without the skirt portion, the reel seat and the T-shaped leg A gap is created between the outer edge part of the negative. However, since the skirt portion is disposed on the side portion of the leg portion, the skirt portion serves as a cover to close the gap (space).

Accordingly, when the angler grips the fishing rod (usually, the reel seat portion is gripped), the entire reel sheet portion is gripped together with the skirt portion, but since the gap (space) is blocked, the angler's hand is the skirt The fishing rod is held while touching the outer surface of the wealth. As a result, the fisherman's hand fits the fishing rod.

(2) Moreover, in order to achieve the said 2nd objective, the fishing rod which concerns on this application is characterized in that the said skirt part has required flexibility.

According to this structure, when a fishing man catches a fishing rod as mentioned above, the said skirt part deform | transforms and contacts the side part of the said leg part. Therefore, the said leg part is fixed also in the horizontal direction (direction which intersects in the front-back direction).

(3) Moreover, in order to achieve the said 2nd objective, you may arrange | position so that the said skirt part may contact the side part of the said leg part.

According to this configuration, in the state where the fishing reel is attached to the reel seat, the skirt portion abuts against the side portion of the leg portion of the fishing reel, so that the leg portion is laterally (direction intersecting with the front and rear direction) by the skirt portion. It will also be fixed.

(4) In addition, the skirt portion may be continuously formed on the first hood portion or the second hood portion. In this configuration, when the reel sheet is constructed, the skirt portion is formed integrally with the reel sheet.

Moreover, you may provide the curved surface curved outside on the said skirt part. In this configuration, the angler's hand abuts along this curved surface when the angler catches the fishing rod. Therefore, the angler's hand fits the fishing rod further.

The shape of the portion on the second hood portion side of the skirt portion is such that the skirt portion enters the second hood portion while contacting the inner surface of the second hood portion when the second hood portion is close to the first hood portion. You may bend smoothly.

In this configuration, when the second hood portion is moved to the first hood portion side, the skirt portion is deformed inward (that is, to the side of the leg portion of the fishing reel). Thereby, the side part of the said leg part is fixed firmly, and the said leg part is fixed firmly in a horizontal direction (direction which intersects with a front-back direction).

(5) As described above, according to the present invention, when the angler grips the fishing rod, the angler's hand is along the skirt, and the angler can firmly grip the fishing rod. Moreover, since this skirt part can fix the leg part of a fishing reel also in the horizontal direction, a fishing reel is firmly fixed to a fishing rod. Therefore, the angler can fight hard without hand slipping.

1 is a side view of a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fishing rod 10 which concerns on a present Example is what is called an exit type | mold. The fishing rod 10 is comprised from each element from the 1st node 11 to the 4th node 14, and the 1st node 11 expands and contracts with respect to the 2nd node 12. As shown in FIG. Similarly, the 2nd node 12 and the 3rd node 13 are made to expand and contract with respect to the 3rd node 13 and the 4th node 14, respectively. In addition, in FIG. 1, in order to show the part of the 4th node 14 clearly, it is shown in the state in which the 1st node 11-the 3rd node 13 were extended slightly rather than the state in which the fishing rod 10 was extended fully. It is.

Each node 11-14 which comprises the fishing rod 10 is formed in the elongate rod shape. Each node 11-14 is manufactured by a well-known method, for example, a carbon fiber is formed in a cylindrical shape. In this embodiment, the fishing rod 10 is of what is called an inner guide type. For this reason, the fishing line introduction part 15 is formed in the 4th node 14, and a fishing line (not shown) is introduce | transduced into the fishing rod 10 from this fishing line introduction hole 15, and the tip part ( It is supposed to be derived from 16).

The 4th node 14 is equipped with the fishing reel (henceforth only a reel). For this reason, the reel seat 17 is provided in the 4th node | tip 14. As shown in FIG. As this fishing rod 10, the reel seat 17 is formed integrally with the 4th bar | burr 14. As shown in FIG. However, a reel seat may be provided separately from the fourteenth node, and may have a structure in which it is attached to the fourth node 14.

The reel seat 17 according to the present embodiment is of a so-called screw type. That is, this reel seat 17 is provided with the hood member 20 (2nd hood part), and as the hood member 20 is moved as mentioned later, the leg part 24 of a reel is fitted. It is intended to be fixed (see FIG. 3).

The reel sheet 17 is provided with a skirt portion S. The reel sheet 17 is characterized by the skirt portion S, and the reel has the front-rear direction (length of the fishing rod 10). Direction) and left and right directions (diameter of fishing rod 10) are firmly fixed. In addition, when the angler grabs the fishing rod 10, it is possible to obtain an excellent fit. Hereinafter, the structure of the reel sheet 17 will be described in detail.

2 to 4 are enlarged front views, partial cross-sectional enlarged front views, and enlarged plan views of the reel sheet 17, respectively, and the structures of the reel sheets 17 are shown in detail by these figures. In addition, in FIG. 3, the leg part 24 of a reel is shown by the dashed-two dotted line.

The reel sheet 17,

(1) a mounting surface portion 18 for mounting the leg portion 24 of the reel,

(2) a hood portion 19 (first hood portion) formed continuously to the left end of the mounting surface portion 18 (as the left side in each drawing, the tip side of the fishing rod 10);

(3) the hood member 20 provided at the right end of the mounting surface part 18 (as the right side in each figure, the base end side of the fishing rod 10),

(4) It has the said skirt part S formed so that the hood part 19 and the mounting surface part 18 may be enclosed.

In the present embodiment, since the reel seat 17 is integrally formed together with the fourth node 14 as described above, these skirt portions S, the mounting surface portion 18 and the hood portion 19 are It is formed integrally with the 4th node 14 continuously.

The mounting surface part 18 is comprised by forming the intermediate part of the 4th node | part 14 flat. The legs 24 of the reel abut against the mounting surface 18 (see FIG. 3). In addition, in this embodiment, although the mounting surface part 18 is comprised as a plane, the center part of a mounting surface part may be made into the recessed shape. Even in such a shape, the leg portion 24 of the reel is mounted on both ends of the mounting surface portion 18 and is reliably supported as will be described later.

The hood part 19 is formed so that it may continue in the 4th node | part 14 and surround the left end part of the mounting surface part 18. As shown in FIG. Therefore, according to the presence of the hood portion 19, a space 22 is formed between the hood portion 19 and the mounting surface portion 18, and one end of the leg portion 24 of the reel is formed in the space 22. The part 25 is inserted. Moreover, the inner surface 23 of the hood part 19 which divides this space 22 is formed with the taper surface as shown in FIG. 3, and the one end part 25 of the leg part 24 has the space ( 22, the inner surface 23 abuts on the one end 25, so that the one end 25 is reliably supported.

The hood member 20 has a hood body 26 and a nut member 27, and the nut member 27 is screwed into the fourth node 14. The nut member 27 is rotatable with respect to the hood body 26, and both are prevented from rotating together. That is, the male thread 28 is formed in the 4th node 14 along the longitudinal direction (predetermined direction), and the internal thread (not shown) is formed in the inner surface of the nut member 27. As shown in FIG. As the male screw 28 and the female screw are engaged with each other and the nut member 27 is rotated, the hood body 26 along with the nut member 27 moves in the direction of the arrow 29 (fourth node 14). In the longitudinal direction).

The hood body 26 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is fitted to the outside of the fourth node 4. The upper portion of the hood body 26 is curved upward, and a space 30 is formed between the hood member 26 and the mounting surface portion 18 (see FIG. 3). The other end 31 (refer FIG. 3) of the leg part 24 of the reel is inserted into this space 30. As shown in FIG. Moreover, the inner surface of the hood body 26 which partitions this space 30 is formed in the taper surface like the inner surface 23 of the hood part 19 mentioned above, and the other end part 31 of the leg part 24 is carried out. ), The other end 31 and the inner surface abut, and the other end 31 is reliably supported.

The skirt part S has a pair of side wall parts 32 and 33 arrange | positioned at the both sides of the said mounting surface part 18, and the connection part 34 which connects these. As described above, since the skirt portion S is integrally formed together with the reel seat 17, these side wall portions 32 and 33 and the connecting portion 34 are continuously integrally formed and the skirt The external shape of the part S constitutes the external shape of the reel sheet 17.

The side wall portions 32 and 33 are configured in a symmetrical shape. These side wall parts 32 and 33 are formed so that the side part of the leg part 24 of a reel may be covered. In other words, the side wall portions 32 and 33 are erected upwardly to the hood portion 19 and extend toward the hood member 20 side. And these side wall parts 32 and 33 are connected by the said connection part 34, and the fixed rigidity of the whole skirt part S is ensured. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the side wall parts 32 and 33 (skirt part S) are formed in the hood part 19 continuously, the rigidity of the whole skirt part S improves further. However, the side wall portions 32 and 33 may be configured as members different from the hood portion 19. In that case, the side wall parts 32 and 33 may be provided on the hood member 20 side.

Moreover, the outer surface 35 of the said side wall part 32 and 33 is formed in the curved surface which protrudes outward of the fishing rod 10 as shown in FIG. As a result, the outer dimension of the reel seat 17 becomes large, and when the angler has the fishing rod 10 (that is, when holding the reel seat 17 part), it becomes cheap.

According to this embodiment, a reel is mounted as follows.

First, the angler rotates the nut member 27 in the direction of loosening from the state of FIG. 2, and moves the whole hood member 20 to the right side in the figure. Thereby, sufficient space for mounting a reel is ensured.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a fisherman inserts the one end part 25 of the leg part 24 of the reel into the space 22 of the hood part 19, and clamps the nut member 27 in that state. Rotate in the direction. Accordingly, the hood member 20 moves to the left side in the figure. Moreover, by tightening the nut member 20, the hood member 20 and the hood part 19 approach, and the leg part 24 is firmly tightened between both.

At this time, since the skirt portion S is provided, the side portion of the leg portion 24 of the reel is heated. As a result, a gap (space) does not occur between the reel seat 17 and the leg portion 24 of the reel. In detail, since the leg portion 24 of the reel is formed in a T-shape as shown in the drawing, if there is no skirt portion S, for example, when the leg portion 24 is fixed to the reel seat 17, The gap (space) is formed above the one end portion 25 and the other end portion 31 of the leg portion 24.

That is, the space is created between the mounting surface portion 18 of the reel seat 17 and the outer edge portion of the T-shaped leg portion. And since this space is formed, when a fisherman grabs the fishing rod 10, a finger is arrange | positioned at both sides of the pillar part 24a of the said T-shaped leg part 24, and the end of the leg part 24 is carried out. The upper surface of the part 25 and the other end part 31 is gripped. As a result, the feeling of fitting at the time of holding the fishing rod 10 is lacking.

However, in the present embodiment, since the skirt portion S is provided, the skirt portion S serves as a cover to close the gap (space). Therefore, when the angler grips the fishing rod 10 (usually when holding the reel seat 17 part), it is to hold the whole reel seat part 17 with the skirt part S, but the said clearance gap is closed. Therefore, the angler's hand grabs the fishing rod while contacting the outer edge of the skirt portion S (the outer periphery 35 of the side walls 32 and 33.) As a result, the angler's hand holds the fishing rod 10. Since it can fit to and hold | grip securely, hard fighting with a big fish is attained by preventing a hand slip and the like.

In particular, in the present embodiment, since the outer surface (the outer surface 35 of the side wall portions 32, 33 of the side wall portions 32, 33 is a curved surface) as described above, the outer dimension of the reel seat 17 is enlarged, When the angler catches the fishing rod 10, the angler's hand abuts along this curved surface 35. As a result, the angler's hand has an advantage of fitting the fishing rod 10 further.

Moreover, you may give the said skirt part S necessary flexibility. In particular, when the angler grips the reel seat 17 portion with respect to the side wall portions 32 and 33, the side wall portions 32 and 33 are bent inward by the grip force and abut the leg portion 24 of the reel. It is possible to make the skirt portion S have flexibility.

By making the skirt portion S such flexibility, when the angler grips the fishing rod 10, the side walls 32 and 33 support the leg portions 24 of the reels from both the left and right sides. Therefore, the said leg part 24 is firmly fixed to the front-back direction by the hood part 19 and the hood member 20 of the reel seat 17, and also laterally by the side wall parts 32 and 33. It is fixed. As a result, the reel is firmly fixed to the fishing rod 10, and the angler can cope with hard fighting with confidence.

Next, a modification of the above embodiment is described.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the main part of the fishing rod 40 according to the first modification of the embodiment, showing the structure of the reel seat 17 in detail.

This modification differs from the above embodiment in that the side wall portions 32 and 33 of the skirt portion S are always in contact with the side portions of the leg portions of the reel attached to the reel sheet 17. Specifically, as shown in the drawing, the side wall portions 32 and 33 are formed to protrude to the inner side (mounting surface portion 18 side of the reel sheet 17). In addition, in other structures, it is the same as that of the said Example.

By the skirt portion S having such a shape, the skirt portion S abuts on the side portion of the leg portion of the reel while the reel is attached to the reel seat 17. For this reason, the leg part of a reel is reliably fixed also in a horizontal direction. At this time, by appropriately setting the shape of the side wall portions 32 and 33 (for example, a dimension projecting inwardly), the side wall portions 32 and 33 are elastically deformed outward in the state where the reel is attached, By the strong force as the reaction force, the leg part of a reel is favorably supported.

6 is a plan view of the main part of the fishing rod 50 according to the second modification of the embodiment, in which the structure of the reel seat 17 is shown in detail.

This modified example differs from the above embodiment in that the side wall portions 32 and 33 of the skirt portion S are formed so as to always contact the side portions of the leg portions of the reel attached to the reel sheet 17, and the side walls. The rear end side of the portions 32, 33 (the hood member 20 side) is smoothly curved so that the diameter is narrow, and the side wall portions 32, 33 are moved when the hood member 20 moves to the hood portion 19 side. The rear end of the) is to be inserted into the hood member 20. Moreover, in another structure, it is the same as that of the said Example.

Also in this modification, the side wall parts 32 and 33 always abut on the side part of the leg part of the reel attached to the reel seat 17 similarly to the said 1st modification. For this reason, specifically, as shown in the figure, the side wall parts 32 and 33 are formed to protrude inward, and the side wall parts 32 and 33 are smoothly curved as described above toward the rear end side. have.

On the other hand, the hood member 20 is curved also in the horizontal direction, and the space 51 is formed also in the horizontal direction. That is, in the said embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, although the upper part of the hood member 20 is bent upwards, only the space 30 is formed between the mounting surface parts 18, This modified example In this case, the side of the hood member 20 is also bent to the outside, whereby the space 51 is formed also at the side of the reel seat 17.

The rear end portions of the side wall portions 32 and 33 are inserted into the space 51. In this modified example, when the side wall portions 32 and 33 are inserted into the space 51, the outer surface 35 of the side wall portions 32 and 33 is in contact with the inner surface of the hood member 20. . That is, as the hood member 20 moves toward the hood portion 19, the hood member 20 is pressed by the hood member 20 so that the side wall portions 32 and 33 are deformed and narrowed inward.

Therefore, according to this modification, when the reel is attached to the reel seat 17, the side wall portions 32 and 33 of the skirt portion S are deformed and pressed to both side portions of the leg portions of the reel. As a result, the leg portion of the reel is securely fixed.

In addition, in each of the above-described modifications, of course, the design change (such as making the skirt portion S flexible) shown in the above embodiment can be performed.

Moreover, in the said Example and the modification, although the reel seat 17 is a screw type, this invention is not limited to this, It is applicable also to a slide type reel seat. Moreover, although the side wall parts 32 and 33 of the skirt part S are the structure formed continuously in the hood part 19 of the reel seat 17, even if the skirt part S is provided in the hood member 20 side, do.

Moreover, although the fishing rods 10 and 40 are comprised by four elements from the 1st node 11 to the 4th node 14, you may comprise not only this but also with many elements. Although the fishing rod 10 which concerns on the said embodiment is of what is called an inner guide type, this invention is not limited to this, It is applied also to what is called an outer guide type. In addition, this invention is not limited to a fishing rod of an advance type | mold, but is applicable also to a fishing rod of an in-row joint type | mold or a parallel joint type.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to provide a fishing rod fitted with the angler's hand to support hard fighting, and to firmly fix the fishing reel, to provide a fishing rod that can cope with hard fighting. Can be.
