• FIGs. 1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating a portable fishing rod supporter according to the present invention states where a supporting ring is shut and where a supporting ring is opened, respectively.
• FIGs. 3 and 4 are a front view and a side view illustrating a portable fishing rod supporter according to the present invention, respectively.
• the portable fishing rod supporter 1 includes a clamper-type body 30 having a pair of inner and outer plates 10 and 20, and a supporting ring 40 which is shaped as a circle and installed to the outer plate 20 of the clamper-type body 30.
• the clamper-type body 30 is formed, as the inner pate 10 and the outer plate 20, which are approximately symmetrically formed, are hingably coupled between their lower sides by a hinge pin 12 to which a twist spring 14 is inserted. Both ends of the twist spring 14 closely contact the inner surfaces of the handling units 16 and 26, such that the handling units 16 and 26 are maintained to be opened. On the other hand, biting jaws 11 and 21 are closed, in which the biting jaws 11 and 21 are located at the upper side of the clamper-type body 30, with respect to the drawings, or the opposite side of the handling units 16 and 26. Therefore, the clamper-type body 30 forms a general clamp.
• the inner and outer plates 10 and 20 of the clamper-type body 30 are made of metal, such as, preferably, stainless steel, etc., to have durability and corrosion resistance, such that they can be prevented from curving or bending, and they cannot be corroded by seawater containing much salt.
• the supporting ring 40 is shaped as a Greek character, " ⁇ ," roughly.
• the supporting ring 40 is made of metal line having relatively high elasticity, such as stainless steel, etc., and forms a coating layer 42, such as rubber or silicon, on the surface thereof, such that it can prevent the fishing rod from scratching and slipping when the fishing rod is installed thereto.
• the supporting ring 40 is rotatably coupled to a rotation unit 28 formed on the upper side of the outer plate 20. Namely, both ends of shafts 44 of the supporting ring 40 in a state where it is contracted are inserted to rotation holes 28a of the rotation unit 28, such that the supporting ring 40 is rotated with respect to the rotation holes 28a.
• the rotation unit 28 has guide grooves 28b, which enable both ends of the shafts of the supporting ring 40 to be spread in the direction of the shaft and the supporting ring 40 to be approximately perpendicularly maintained on the outer plate 20.
• the supporting ring 40 when the supporting ring 40 is rotated from the surface of the outer plate 20, with respect to the shafts, and erected to be perpendicular on the surface of the outer plate 20, the supporting ring 40 is spread at the guide grooves 28b by its own elasticity and then approximately perpendicularly maintained on the outer plate 20.
• the clamper-type body 30 maintains a biting state by the twist spring 14 inserted to the hinge pin 12.
• the clamper-type body 30 further includes an adjustment screw 50 at a position opposite to the biting jaws 11 and 21 with respect to the hinge pin 12, or the handing units 16 and 26, such that the biting state can be firmly maintained, the biting jaws 11 and 21 are prevented from opening, and interval the position opposite to the biting jaws 11 and 21 is marinated at a predetermined distance.
• Reference numeral 60 denotes a supporting unit installed at the lower side of the outer plate 20 of the clamper-type body 30. Such a supporting unit 60 supports the end of the fishing rod inserted to the supporting ring 40.
• the supporting unit 60 can be implemented with a type of hinge plate or a type of ring, as occasion demands, and rotatably attached to the outer plate 20.
• reference numeral 22 denotes belt holes to connecting a belt, etc., which is not shown, to the outer plate 20 of the clamper-type body 30.
• Reference numeral 24 is article hooking holes, which are penetrated to the lower side of the outer plate 20, in order to hang strings to which a cutter, a fishing hook extractor, etc., are attached, such that anglers can easily using the articles.
• reference numeral 26 denotes a rotation shaft of the supporting unit 60.
• the portable fishing rod supporter constructed above When the portable fishing rod supporter constructed above is not used, it is folded flat in a fashion that the supporting ring 40 is folded to be parallel to the surface of the outer plate 20, as shown in Fig. 2, such that users can conveniently carry the portable fishing rod supporter folded flat in a pockets of his jacket or clothing.
• the angler makes the portable fishing rod supporter bite the lower side of the jacket 70 and then tightens the adjustment screw 50 to firmly fix the portable fishing rod supporter thereto, thereby attaching the fishing rod supporter to the jacket.
• the portable fishing rod supporter supports the lower end of the fishing rod.
• the fishing rod is maintained in a state where it is erected in the front of the angler, even though the angler does not hold the fishing rod. Therefore, the angler's both hands are free while he is fishing, which reduces angler's physical exhaustion. Also, since the angler can use his both hands, he can easily and efficiently work bait change or control a float, and lifts fishes using a fish net rod without helping others.
• Fig. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a state where a portable fishing rod supporter according to the present invention is used as another fashion. Namely, Fig. 7 shows a case where the portable fishing rod supporter is fixed to the side of the jacket 70 to support the fishing rod 80.
• the portable fishing rod supporter is implemented to be installed to the lower side and the side of the angler's jacket, it is easily appreciated that the portable fishing rod supporter can be easily attached to the front or the side of a waist belt or any locations of anglers' clothing as occasion demands. Also, it can be easily and simply used by any anglers.
• the portable fishing rod supporter includes a clamper-type body having an inner plate and an outer plate, in which the inner and outer plates are hingably coupled to one ends thereof and form biting jaws at opposite ends thereof, maintaining a biting state by a spring, and a supporting ring coupled to the outer plate, in which the supporting ring is folded or opened to be parallel or perpendicular to the surface of the outer plate. Therefore, compared with the prior art fishing rod supporter, the portable fishing rod supporter has a simple structure, such that it can be easily manufactured. Also, since it is relatively small, and folded flat, such that it can be easily carried and managed.
• the portable fishing rod supporter can be firmly fixed to any locations as occasion demands, such as the lower side or side of the jacket, in a clamper type, when an angler fixes a fishing reel to the portable fishing rod supporter while an angler fishes on an estuary area, he does not need to hold the fishing reel at the time.
• the portable fishing rod supporter according to the present invention can make the angler's both hands move freely, the angler feels less physical exhaustion and efficiently fishes.
