Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A fishing line guide is secured to a rod by a thread winding wound from a starting end which is tucked under a line guide to a tail end which is secured by heat fusion to an adjacent turn of the thread winding.
  • the thread winding forms a single thread layer.
  • the thread is wound about the guide and rod and,
  • heated rod is swept across the point where the thread leaves the rod to melt and sever the thread thereat while fusing the resultant tail end to the adjacent turn of the thread winding.
  • a small length of thread is manually formed into a loop, with the loop projecting over the bare rod and the loop ends extending over the already wound portion of the thread winding.
  • the winding is then continued over the loop and rod for the remaining number of turns.
  • the thread being wound is severed and the severed end is drawn through the loop which has been secured to the rod by these last turns.
  • a pull is then exerted on the free ends of the loop so as to draw the severed end of the cut thread underneath the previously applied turns to firmly lock the severed end to the woundthread.
  • the thread length used for the loop may then be discarded, and any projecting tail end of the winding can then be cut close to the winding to substantially hide the tail end.
  • the tail end of the winding may project from the rod if not severed at a contiguous point on the rod and, at the same time, the winding may be damaged if the tail end is severed too close to the winding. Further, there is a slight bulge in the winding due to the presence of thread under the last turns.
  • tapes or sleeves to secure a guide to a rod.
  • tapes such have been made of heat-shrinkable resinated cloth and wound about the guide and rod. After winding, the tapes have been subjected to heat in order to shrink the tapes and secure the tapes to the rod.
  • heat in order to shrink the tapes and secure the tapes to the rod.
  • such a procedure requires substantially precise manipulation in order to properly position the turns of the tape winding so as to impart a quality appearance to the final product. Further, the procedure is time-consuming. Still further, the technique has usually utilized a plurality of tape windings with the result I that the finishedwinding has a bulky appearance.
  • the invention provides a method of securing a winding of thread to a rod in which the tail end of the thread is heat fused to an adjacent turn of the winding.
  • the invention provides a winding having a single layer of thread for securing a fishing line guide to a fishing rod or for securement to a rod for decorative purposes.
  • a fishing line guide is first positioned on a fishing rod in any suitable manner, for example, by an adhesive. Thereafter, the starting end of a thread is secured with respect to the guide, for example by being tucked under the guide and then wound about the guide and rod to form a winding with a plurality of turns of thread. Next,, the unwound portion of the thread is held adjacent the previouswinding turn in a taut manner, and heat is applied to the thread at the point where the thread leaves the rod in order to melt and sever the thread at that point while fusing the resultant tail end'of the thread to the adjacent winding tum at that same point.
  • a plastic coat: ing such as a synthetic varnish can be applied over the winding and the rod in a conventional manner.
  • the thread used for the winding is :1 synthetic plastic material which is heated to its melting point in order to bring about the fusion of the tail end of the thread to the adjacent winding turri.
  • the thread can be a twisted multifilament Nylon 6/6 threadwhich has a melting point of 495F.
  • Anyother suitable "thread may also be used, for example, monfilaments or multifilaments made from polyester (Dacron), polyethylene, polypropylene,-the general class of olefins, Nylon 6 (a polyamide having a lower melting point than6/6), or
  • the threads utilized may range in diameter from 0.005 inches to 0.025 inches.
  • the twisted multifilament Nylon 6/6 thread has a diameter of 0.01 inches.
  • the heat required to bring about the melting is generally in the range of between 300 to 700F.
  • the time required for heating the thread to bring about severing and fusing is usually less than I second. As a result, the time required to secure a fishing line guide to a fishing rod can be reduced to a relative mini mum.
  • the invention also provides a combination of a fishwound about the guide and fishing rod which secures the guide to the rod.
  • the thread includes a plurality of winding turns and has a tail end fused to an adjacent turn of the winding in a single thread layerat a point spaced from the guide.
  • the starting end of the thread is tucked under the line guide and, where the line guide has a foot and at least one tail extending from the foot, the thread is, for example, tucked under an inner end of the foot with the'successive winding turns wound over the tail.
  • the nature of the fusion of the tail end of the thread to the adjacent winding may not be a fastening which is sufficiently secure in itself for all conditions of use of the fishing rod being made, but the fastening is at least sufficient to hold the thread in place until the winding is coated with a plastic finish.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a fragmentary perspective view of a fishing line guide secured to a fishing rod by a winding according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the position of a thread relative to arod immediately prior to severing and fusing of the tail end of the winding to an adjacent winding turn;
  • FIG. 3 illustrated a view of a heated rod in contact with the thread for severing of the thread
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of the tail end of a winding made in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a view taken on line 55 of FIG.
  • a fishing rod 10 for example of tapered contour and of glass fiber reinforced plastic construction, is provided with a fishing line'guide 11 which is secured thereto by two thread windings 1 2.
  • the guide 11 is of suitable known construction and includes an eyelet 13, a pair of feet 14 mounting the eyelet 13 therebetween, and a pair of tails 15 which extend from the respective feet 14 axially along the surface of the rod 10.
  • Each thread winding 12 is made up of aplurality of winding turns 16 which form a single thread layerand define a first closely wound section having a multiplicity of winding turns therein, an intermediate section in which the winding turns are spaced'apart at a greater pitch and a final section in which the winding turns are again closelywound in contiguous relationship.
  • each winding 12 The starting end (not shown) of each winding 12 is tucked under the inner ends of the respective guide feet 14 in a suitable known manner.
  • the tail end 17 of each winding 12 is heat fused to the adjace nt winding turn 16' and is disposed within the same single thread layer as the remainder of the winding turns 16.
  • the starting end of a thread 18 is first'tucked under a foot 14 of the guide 11.
  • the thread is wound under tension about the tail 15 'of the guide 11 and the rod 10 to form a first section of closely wound winding turns.
  • the thread is then wound at a greater pitch to provide widely spaced apart winding turns.
  • the thread is agains wound at a closer pitch to, form a number of contiguous winding turns.
  • the unwound portion of the thread 18 is held adjacent to the previous winding turn 16' in a taut manner so as to maintain the tension in the thread.
  • a heated rod 19 such as a small pencil type soldering iron, is swept across the point 20 where the thread 18 leaves the rod 10 at the end of the previous winding turn 16.
  • the rod 19 imparts sufficient heat to the thread 18 at the point 20 where the thread leaves the rod so as to raise the temperature of and melt the thread 18 at said point 20, while at the same timebecorning severed with the resultant tail end 17 fusing to the adjacent winding turn 16' as shown in-FIGS. v4 and 5.
  • the rod 19 need only be in contact with the thread for a period of time less than one second in order to effect severing and fusing.
