Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a guide frame, a fishing line guide, and a fishing rod for guiding fishing lines. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 13 As shown in Patent Document 1, the fishing line guide includes a guide ring 100 and a guide frame 101. The guide frame 101 has an annular plate 102, a pair of left and right side supports 103, and a rear support 104. The annular plate 102 holds the guide ring 100; the pair of left and right side supports 103 extend from the annular plate 102 toward the rod tip; and the rear support 104 extends from the annular plate 102 toward the rod butt. The side supports 103 have a first mounting portion 105 mounted on the rod body, and the rear support 104 has a second mounting portion 106 mounted on the rod body. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 explains that because the pair of side supports 103 bend in an S-shape when viewed from the side, the side supports 103 have greater resistance to bending, thereby increasing the rigidity of the fishing line guide and reducing deflection.

[0003] However, the width of the rear support leg 104 of this fishing line guide is narrow, especially since its width is approximately the same as the width of the second mounting portion 106, or its width gradually narrows towards the second mounting portion 106. Therefore, when the fishing line guide is installed on the rod body, the insufficient strength of the rear support leg 104 becomes a problem, resulting in the rear support leg 104 being prone to twisting circumferentially around the rod body. In particular, if the rear support leg 104 becomes longer, this problem of twisting becomes even more pronounced. [Existing Technical Documents] [Patent Literature]

[0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 5940738 Summary of the Invention [The technical problem that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] The technical problem of this invention is to improve the torsional strength of the guide frame of the fishing line guide. [Technical solutions used to solve technical problems]

[0006] The fishing line guide of the present invention has a guide frame mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body for holding the guide loop of the fishing line. The guide frame of the fishing line guide has: an annular piece for holding the guide loop; a first mounting piece mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body; a second mounting piece separated from the first mounting piece in the axial direction of the rod body and mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body; a first support piece connecting the annular piece and the first mounting piece; and a second support piece connecting the annular piece and the second mounting piece. The first support piece has a first extension portion extending circumferentially along the rod body at a first connecting portion connected to the first mounting piece.

[0007] According to this structure, a first extension is provided at the first connecting portion of the first support piece. When the fishing line guide is installed on the rod body, the first extension reinforces the torsion of the first support piece along the circumference of the rod body. Therefore, the torsion of the first support piece is suppressed. By reinforcing the first support piece with the first extension, even if a large external force is applied to the fishing line guide, for example, the annular piece, along the circumference of the rod body, the first support piece is less likely to undergo plastic deformation along the circumference of the rod body. In addition, since the first support piece is less likely to vibrate in the circumference of the rod body during casting, the fishing line is less likely to come into contact with the fishing line guide, thereby reducing the resistance caused by such contact and increasing the flight distance. Furthermore, the reduced resistance between the fishing line and the fishing line guide reduces damage to the fishing line.

[0008] Preferably, the first support piece is shorter than the second support piece. According to this structure, by providing a first extension portion on the first support piece, which is shorter than the second support piece, the torsional strength of the first support piece can be further improved.

[0009] Preferably, the first support piece connects the first support portion closest to the outer circumferential surface of the rod on the annular piece and the first mounting piece. According to this structure, by having the first support piece with the first extension support the first support portion closest to the outer circumferential surface of the rod, the torsional strength of the first support piece can be further improved. Therefore, even if the first support piece becomes longer, sufficient torsional strength can be ensured.

[0010] Preferably, the first support piece has: a second connecting portion connected to the annular piece; and an intermediate portion disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, wherein the width of the first extension portion in the circumferential direction of the rod body is wider than the width of the intermediate portion in the circumferential direction of the rod body. According to this structure, the weight increase of the first support piece can be suppressed, and the first support piece can be effectively strengthened by the first extension portion.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the first extension in the circumferential direction of the rod gradually widens as it approaches the first mounting plate. This structure can suppress the increase in weight of the first support plate and effectively strengthen it.

[0012] Preferably, the first mounting piece has a second extension that extends circumferentially along the rod body at a first mounting end connected to the first support piece. This structure improves the strength of the first mounting end of the first mounting piece while enhancing the overall integrity from the first extension to the second extension. Therefore, the strength of the first mounting piece relative to torsion can be further improved.

[0013] Preferably, the second extension is continuous with the first extension, and both have the same width in the circumferential direction of the rod body. This structure improves the overall integration from the first extension to the second extension, thereby further enhancing the torsional strength of the first mounting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the first extension has a curved piece that bends circumferentially along the rod body. With this structure, when the fishing line guide is installed on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body, the curved piece facilitates the first extension's movement along the outer circumferential surface of the rod body. Therefore, the fishing line guide can be stably installed on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.

[0015] Preferably, the first extension has a folded piece that bends axially toward the rod body. According to this structure, when the fishing line guide is installed on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body, the folded piece strengthens the torsional strength of the first support piece. Furthermore, when an external force acts on the first support piece along the axial direction of the rod body, the folded piece suppresses the axial deflection of the first support piece toward the rod body.

[0016] Preferably, the second support piece has a pair of arms that connect a pair of second support portions and a second mounting piece that are circumferentially separated from the annular piece. According to this structure, the annular piece can be stably supported by the pair of arms, and the fishing line can be prevented from winding and knotting on the fishing line guide.

[0017] In addition, the fishing line guide according to the present invention has the above-mentioned guide frame and a guide ring mounted on the annular plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the fishing rod involved in this invention is a fishing rod in which multiple fishing line guides are installed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. Among the multiple fishing line guides, the fishing line guide is installed at the position of the fishing line guide closest to the rod tail, and the first mounting plate faces the rod tail.

[0019] Furthermore, the guide frame of the fishing line guide according to the present invention is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body to hold the guide loop of the fishing line. The guide frame of the fishing line guide has an annular piece, a first mounting piece, a second mounting piece, a first support piece, and a second support piece. The annular piece is used to hold the guide loop. The first mounting piece has a first tangent point that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. The second mounting piece is separated from the first mounting piece in the axial direction of the rod body and has a second tangent point that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. The first support piece connects the annular piece and the first mounting piece. The second support piece connects the annular piece and the second mounting piece and bends radially outward towards the rod body. The shortest first separation distance between the imaginary line passing through the first and second tangent points and the inner peripheral edge of the annular piece is set to be between 1.5 and 2 times the inner diameter of the annular piece.

[0020] A line guide is mounted on the annular plate of the guide frame in this structure. Furthermore, the guide frame is mounted on the outer circumference of the rod body, for example, with the first mounting plate facing the rod butt and the second mounting plate facing the rod tip. An imaginary line passing through the first and second tangent points runs along the axial direction of the rod body. The shortest distance between this imaginary line and the inner circumference of the annular plate, i.e., the first separation distance, is set to between 1.5 and 2 times the inner diameter of the annular plate. That is, the line guide is radially farther from the rod body, and on the other hand, the inner diameter of the line guide is smaller. In other words, it becomes a line guide with a long leg and a small diameter. Therefore, the spiral fishing line released from the reel during casting is less likely to contact the outer circumference of the rod body, thereby increasing the flight distance and suppressing fishing line problems caused by the line guide. In addition, due to the small diameter of the line guide, the line guide can be made lighter.

[0021] On the other hand, the second support plate bends radially outward from the rod body. Therefore, when the spiral fishing line released from the reel collides with the line guide, it prevents the line guide from deflecting significantly towards the rod tip. For example, if the second support plate bends radially inward from the rod body, the line guide is prone to deflect significantly towards the rod tip when the spiral fishing line released from the reel collides with the line guide. To prevent this deflection, it is necessary to increase the wall thickness of the guide frame to improve its strength. However, increasing the wall thickness of the guide frame makes the line guide heavier, and the fishing rod heavier. In contrast, when the second support plate bends radially outward from the rod body, it suppresses the increase in the weight of the line guide and effectively suppresses deflection, thus easily balancing the strength and lightweight of the line guide. This guide frame is particularly suitable for fishing using PE line.

[0022] Furthermore, the fishing line guide of the present invention has a guide ring and a guide frame, wherein the guide ring is used to guide the fishing line; the guide frame is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body to hold the guide ring, and the guide frame has an annular piece, a first mounting piece, a second mounting piece, a first support piece, and a second support piece, wherein the annular piece is used to hold the guide ring; the first mounting piece has a first tangent point that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body; the second mounting piece is separated from the first mounting piece in the axial direction of the rod body and has a second tangent point that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body; the first support piece connects the annular piece and the first mounting piece; the second support piece connects the annular piece and the second mounting piece and bends radially outward towards the rod body, and the shortest second separation distance between the imaginary line passing through the first and second tangent points and the inner peripheral edge of the guide ring is set to be between 2 and 3 times the inner diameter of the guide ring.

[0023] This type of line guide is mounted on the outer circumference of the rod body, for example, with the first mounting plate facing the rod butt and the second mounting plate facing the rod tip. An imaginary line passing through the first and second tangent points runs along the axial direction of the rod body. The shortest distance between this imaginary line and the inner circumference of the guide swivel, i.e., the second separation distance, is set to be between two and three times the inner diameter of the guide swivel. That is, the guide swivel is radially farther from the rod body, and on the other hand, its inner diameter is smaller. In other words, it becomes a line guide with a long leg and a small diameter. Therefore, during casting, the spiral fishing line released from the reel is less likely to contact the outer circumference of the rod body, thereby increasing the flight distance and suppressing line problems caused by the line guide. Furthermore, due to the small diameter of the guide swivel, the line guide can be made lightweight.

[0024] On the other hand, the second support plate bends radially outward from the rod body. Therefore, when the spiral fishing line released from the reel collides with the line guide, it prevents the line guide from deflecting significantly towards the rod tip. For example, if the second support plate bends radially inward from the rod body, the line guide is prone to deflect significantly towards the rod tip when the spiral fishing line released from the reel collides with the line guide. To prevent this deflection, it is necessary to increase the wall thickness of the guide frame to improve its strength. However, increasing the wall thickness of the guide frame makes the line guide heavier, and the fishing rod heavier. In contrast, when the second support plate bends radially outward from the rod body, it suppresses the increase in the weight of the line guide and effectively suppresses deflection, thus easily balancing the strength and lightweight of the line guide. This line guide is particularly suitable for fishing using PE line. [Invention Effects]

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The following is a reference. Figures 1-9 The following describes a guide frame for a fishing line guide according to an embodiment of the present invention, a fishing line guide using the guide frame, and a fishing rod on which the fishing line guide is installed. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the fishing line guide 1 has a guide frame 2 and a guide ring 3. The guide frame 2 is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4 of the fishing rod; the guide ring 3 is mounted on the guide frame 2 for directly guiding the fishing line 5. The fishing line guide 1 is fixed at a predetermined position on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4. The fishing line guide 1 is used on various fishing rods on which a fishing reel can be mounted, especially fishing rods suitable for casting and lure fishing. In addition, as will be described later, the fishing line guide 1 of this embodiment is suitable for the fishing line guide 1 located in the direction closest to the rod tip among a plurality of fishing line guides 1 on a fishing rod, i.e., the base guide 1a (rod tip guide), but it can also be used for fishing line guides 1 mounted in other positions.

[0028] Furthermore, in the following explanation, the axial direction (centerline direction) of the rod body 4 is considered the front-to-back direction, the direction of the rod tip is considered the front and is indicated by arrow X2 in the diagram, and the direction of the rod tip is considered the rear and is indicated by arrow X1 in the diagram. Additionally, the radial direction of the rod body 4, the direction radially away from the installation direction of the fishing reel from the outer circumference of the rod body 4, is considered the first radial direction and is indicated by arrow Z1 in the diagram, and the opposite direction, i.e., the direction closer to the outer circumference of the rod body 4, is considered the second radial direction and is indicated by arrow Z2 in the diagram. Furthermore, the circumferential direction of the rod body 4, which is orthogonal (intersecting) with the first radial direction Z1 and the second radial direction Z2, is considered the left-to-right direction and is indicated by arrow Y in the diagram.

[0029] <Booting Framework 2> Figures 1-5 This refers to the guide frame 2 in this embodiment. The guide frame 2 is made of metal and is constructed from a single metal sheet. That is, the guide frame 2 is a one-piece frame made of sheet metal. Therefore, the guide frame 2 is composed of a single component. The guide frame 2 is formed by punching a metal sheet into a predetermined shape and then bending the flat metal sheet that has been punched into the predetermined shape. The metal sheet used is, for example, a component with a thickness of about 1 mm and a constant thickness. The material is, for example, stainless steel or titanium (titanium alloy).

[0030] The guide frame 2 has an annular piece 10, a first support piece 11, a second support piece 12, a first mounting piece 14, and a second mounting piece 15, wherein the second support piece 12 has a pair of left and right arm pieces 13. The annular piece 10 holds the guide ring 3. The first support piece 11 connects the annular piece 10 and the first mounting piece 14. The second support piece 12 connects the annular piece 10 and the second mounting piece 15. Both the first mounting piece 14 and the second mounting piece 15 are mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4.

[0031] <Circular plate 10> The annular plate 10 has an annular mounting hole 20. A wire ring 3 is mounted in the annular mounting hole 20. The center line 20a of the annular mounting hole 20 coincides with the center line of the wire ring 3. The center line 20a of the annular mounting hole 20 can be along the front-back direction, but... Figure 3 As shown, it is preferably tilted at a predetermined angle relative to the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, in Figure 3In this design, the imaginary centerline 20b is a straight line in the front-rear direction passing through the center of the ring mounting hole 20. When the centerline 20a of the ring mounting hole 20 is set to 0 degrees in the front-rear direction, the first inclination angle α1 of the centerline 20a of the ring mounting hole 20 relative to the front-rear direction is preferably greater than 0 degrees and less than 20 degrees, more preferably greater than 0 degrees and less than 5 degrees, and even more preferably more than 1 degree and less than 5 degrees. The first inclination angle α1 is the angle of the centerline 20a of the ring mounting hole 20 relative to the imaginary centerline 20b. Furthermore, the annular piece 10 can be flat or drawn into a cylindrical shape along the direction of the centerline 20a of the ring mounting hole 20. The inner periphery 10a of the annular piece 10 is the wall surface of the ring mounting hole 20. The first plane 10c defined by the annular piece 10 is inclined forward by a predetermined angle X 2 relative to the second plane 10d orthogonal to the axis of the rod body 4. The second tilt angle α2 of the first plane 10c relative to the second plane 10d is equal to the first tilt angle α1. The first tilt angle α1 and the second tilt angle α2 are related to the bending angle θ, which will be described later.

[0032] The annular plate 10 has a first support portion 21 supported by a first support plate 11 and a pair of second support portions 22 supported by a pair of left and right arm plates 13 respectively. The first support portion 21 is the portion of the annular plate 10 located closest to the second radial direction Z2. That is, the first support portion 21 is the portion of the annular plate 10 closest to the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4. The pair of second support portions 22 are separated from each other in the circumferential direction of the annular plate 10. The pair of second support portions 22 are symmetrical to each other. The first support portion 21 is located between the pair of second support portions 22. The pair of second support portions 22 are located closer to the first radial direction Z1 than the first support portion 21. That is, the pair of second support portions 22 are farther away from the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4 than the first support portion 21. The pair of second support portions 22 are preferably located closer to the first radial direction Z1 than the center of the annular plate 10 (the center of the annular mounting hole 20), and preferably farther away from the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4.

[0033] <First Support Plate 11> The first support plate 11 extends from the first support portion 21 of the annular plate 10 toward the first mounting plate 14. The first support plate 11 extends from the first support portion 21 of the annular plate 10 in a second radial direction Z2, preferably extending obliquely in the second radial direction Z2 and rearward X1. The first support plate 11 connects the first support portion 21 of the annular plate 10 and the first mounting plate 14 together. The first support plate 11 is preferably a flat, unbent plane, preferably parallel to the guide ring 3. The thickness direction of the first support plate 11 is in the direction of the center line 20a of the hole in the annular mounting hole 20. The first support plate 11 may be radially along the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4, but is preferably obliquely forward X2 relative to the radial direction of the rod body 4, as in this embodiment. Figure 3As shown, preferably, the first support piece 11 and the annular piece 10 are on the same plane. That is, the first support piece 11 is located on the first plane 10c. The first support piece 11 is tilted forward X2 relative to the second plane 10d by a second tilt angle α2.

[0034] When viewing the first support plate 11 from the direction of the hole center line 20a of the ring mounting hole 20 (the plate thickness direction of the first support plate 11), its shape can be various. The first support plate 11 has a first connecting portion 30 that connects to the first mounting plate 14 and a second connecting portion 31 that connects to the annular plate 10.

[0035] The first support piece 11 has a first extension 32 at the first connecting portion 30, a third extension 33 at the second connecting portion 31, and an intermediate portion 34 between the first connecting portion 30 and the second connecting portion 31. The first extension 32 is a portion whose width is partially extended in the left-right direction. Figure 6 The image shows the main part of the guide frame 2 in its flat state before bending. Figure 6 The bend line 35 between the first support piece 11 and the first mounting piece 14 is represented by a dashed line. The width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction gradually widens as it moves closer to the first mounting piece 14. The width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction can widen linearly as it moves closer to the first mounting piece 14, or it can widen in a curved manner. The first extension portion 32 has a left-right symmetrical shape.

[0036] The width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W2 of the middle portion 34 in the left-right direction. The middle portion 34 is the narrowest part of the first support piece 11 in the left-right direction. The middle portion 34 is preferably a longer shape along the direction connecting the first support portion 21 of the annular piece 10 and the first mounting piece 14, and preferably has a constant width in the left-right direction.

[0037] The first support plate 11 has a third extension 33 at the second connecting portion 31. The third extension 33 is a portion whose width is partially extended in the left-right direction. The width of the third extension 33 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W2 of the middle portion 34 in the left-right direction. The width of the third extension 33 in the left-right direction gradually widens as it approaches the annular plate 10. The width of the third extension 33 in the left-right direction can widen linearly as it approaches the annular plate 10, or it can widen in a curved manner. In addition, a through hole (not shown) extending along the plate thickness direction can be provided on the third extension 33, and the third extension 33 can also have a V-shaped shape that expands as it approaches the annular plate 10.

[0038] <Installation Piece 14> The first mounting piece 14 extends rearward X1 from the first connecting portion 30 of the first support piece 11. The first mounting piece 14 is bent relative to the first support piece 11 at a predetermined angle. The first mounting piece 14 may be bent relative to the first support piece 11 at a bending angle θ of 90 degrees, but it is preferable to be bent at a bending angle θ of less than 90 degrees. That is, it is preferable that the first support piece 11 is inclined toward the second support piece 12 and the second mounting piece 15. The bending angle θ is preferably 85 degrees or more and less than 90 degrees. Furthermore, when the bending angle θ is, for example, 85 degrees, both the first tilting angle α1 and the second tilting angle α2 are 5 degrees.

[0039] The first mounting piece 14 has a shape that is longer along the front-rear direction. The first mounting piece 14 has a first mounting end 40 and a second mounting end 41, wherein the first mounting end 40 is connected to the first support piece 11; the second mounting end 41 is located in the opposite direction to the first mounting end 40 in the front-rear direction. The first mounting end 40 is the front (X2) end of the first mounting piece 14, and the second mounting end 41 is the rear (X1) end of the first mounting piece 14. The second mounting end 41 is a free end. The first mounting piece 14 has a base 43 and a second extension 42, which is provided at the first mounting end 40 and is wider in the left-right direction than the left-right width of the base 43.

[0040] The second extension 42 is a portion whose width is partially extended in the left-right direction. The width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction gradually widens as it moves closer to the first support piece 11. The width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction can widen linearly as it moves closer to the first support piece 11, or it can widen in a curved manner. The second extension 42 has a left-right symmetrical shape.

[0041] The width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction is continuous with the width W1 of the first extension 32 in the left-right direction. The width W3 (maximum width) of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction is the same as the width W1 (maximum width) of the first extension 32 in the left-right direction. The width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W4 of the base 43 in the left-right direction.

[0042] Furthermore, it is preferable that the first facing surface 14a of the first mounting plate 14, which faces the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4, bends in the left-right direction toward the first radial direction Z1 along the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4. Alternatively, it may be continuously bent in the front-back direction from the first extension 32 to the second extension 42.

[0043] The first facing surface 14a has a first tangent point 14b that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4. The first tangent point 14b is located on the first center line 14c along the front-rear direction of the first facing surface 14a. The first center line 14c is a straight line that bisects the width of the first facing surface 14a.

[0044] <Second support plate 12, arm plate 13> Arm 13 extends from the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10 toward the second mounting piece 15. Arm 13 connects the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10 and the second mounting piece 15 together. Arm 13 has a third connecting portion 50 and a fourth connecting portion 51, wherein the third connecting portion 50 is connected to the third mounting end 60 of the second mounting piece 15; and the fourth connecting portion 51 is connected to the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10. The left and right pairs of arm pieces 13 are symmetrical in shape to each other in the left-right direction. Arm 13 extends obliquely from the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10 in a second radial direction Z2 and forward X2. Arm 13 bends in a first radial direction Z1 relative to the straight line 52 connecting the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10 and the third mounting end 60 of the second mounting piece 15. Arm 13 extends forward X2 from the second support portion 22 of the annular piece 10 and then in a second radial direction Z2. A pair of arm plates 13 gradually approach each other as they move toward the second mounting plate 15. The arm plate 13 is longer than the first support plate 11. The arm plate 13 is thinner than the first support plate 11.

[0045] <Second Installation Piece 15> The second mounting piece 15 is positioned X2 units forward relative to the first mounting piece 14. The direction connecting the first mounting piece 14 and the second mounting piece 15 is the front-back direction. The first mounting piece 14 is positioned X1 units rearward relative to the annular piece 10, and the second mounting piece 15 is positioned X2 units forward relative to the annular piece 10.

[0046] The second mounting piece 15 extends forward X2 from the third connecting portion 50 of the arm piece 13. The second mounting piece 15 is bent at a predetermined angle relative to the arm piece 13. The second mounting piece 15 has a shape that is longer in the front-rear direction. The second mounting piece 15 has a third mounting end 60 and a fourth mounting end 61, wherein the third mounting end 60 is connected to a pair of arm pieces 13; the fourth mounting end 61 is located in the opposite direction to the third mounting end 60 in the front-rear direction. The third mounting end 60 is the rear X1 end on the first mounting piece 14, and the fourth mounting end 61 is the front X2 end on the first mounting piece 14. The fourth mounting end 61 is a free end. The width of the second mounting piece 15 in the left-right direction is approximately constant. Furthermore, it is preferable that the second opposing surface 15a of the second mounting piece 15, which faces the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4, is bent in the left-right direction toward the first radial direction Z1 along the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4.

[0047] The second facing surface 15a has a second tangent point 15b that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4. The second tangent point 15b is located on the second center line 15c along the front-rear direction of the second facing surface 15a. The second center line 15c is a straight line that bisects the width of the second facing surface 15a.

[0048] <Wire loop 3> The conductor ring 3 is typically circular, but it can also be elliptical, oblong, etc. In this embodiment, the conductor ring 3 is circular. The conductor ring 3 is preferably mounted to the annular piece 10 by adhesive bonding. The conductor ring 3 is inserted forward X2 into the ring mounting hole 20.

[0049] exist Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The diagram shows an imaginary line 16 passing through the first tangent point 14b and the second tangent point 15b. The imaginary line 16 is along the axial direction of the rod body 4 and located on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4. The shortest distance between the imaginary line 16 and the inner circumferential edge 10a of the annular plate 10, i.e., the first separation distance L1, is set to be between 1.5 and 2 times the inner diameter 10b of the annular plate 10. The first separation distance L1 is preferably 1.7 times the inner diameter 10b of the annular plate 10. The first separation distance L1 is the radial separation distance between the portion of the inner circumferential edge 10a of the annular plate 10 closest to the rod body 4, i.e., the portion closest to the first opposing surface 14a, and the first opposing surface 14a. Furthermore, the shortest distance between the imaginary line 16 and the inner circumferential edge 3a of the guide ring 3, i.e., the second separation distance L2, is set to be between 2 and 3 times the inner diameter 3b of the guide ring 3. The second separation distance L2 is preferably 2.4 times the inner diameter 3b of the guide ring 3. The second separation distance L2 is the radial separation distance of the rod body 4 between the part of the inner periphery 3a of the guide ring 3 closest to the rod body 4 and the first facing surface 14a.

[0050] <Installation Status> like Figure 7 As shown, the fishing line guide 1 is mounted and fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4. The mounting method is, for example, by winding the line and applying adhesive. Preferably, the fishing line guide 1 is mounted to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 4 with the second mounting piece 15 facing forward X2 and the first mounting piece 14 facing backward X1. However, the fishing line guide 1 can also be mounted with the forward and backward directions reversed. With the fishing line guide 1 mounted on the rod body 4, the guide ring 3 is tilted forward X2 at a second tilt angle α2.

[0051] When using a spinning reel 6, the spinning reel 6 is typically positioned below the rod body 4, and the line guide 1 is also positioned below the rod body 4. When using a double-bearing reel (not shown), the double-bearing reel is typically positioned above the rod body 4, and the line guide 1 is also positioned above the rod body 4. In this way, the line guide 1 is positioned in the same direction as the reel relative to the rod body 4. The line guide 1 of this embodiment is suitable for fishing rods using the spinning reel 6.

[0052] exist Figure 8The image shows a fishing rod suitable for use with a spinning reel 6. Additionally, Figure 9 The text appears to be a mix of Chinese characters and symbols, possibly representing a corrupted or incomplete document. A direct translation wouldn't be Figure 8 The fishing rod is in use with a spinning reel 6 installed on it. The fishing rod has: a rod body 4; a plurality of line guides 1 spaced apart on the outer periphery of the rod body 4; and a reel seat 7 for mounting the spinning reel 6. The plurality of line guides 1 consist of a top guide 1b located at the foremost x2 position, a base guide 1a located at the rearmost x1 position, and a plurality of intermediate guides 1c located between the top guide 1b and the base guide 1a. In this embodiment, the line guide 1 is preferably used for the base guide 1a (rod tip guide). The base guide 1a is the rearmost x1 line guide 1 among the plurality of line guides 1. At least the base guide 1a uses the aforementioned line guide 1. The aforementioned line guide 1 can be used for line guides 1 other than the top guide 1b.

[0053] As described above, since the first extension portion 32 is partially provided on the first connecting portion 30 of the first support piece 11, the first support piece 11 is less prone to twisting in the left-right direction. For example, even if a large external force is applied to the annular piece 10 of the fishing line guide 1 in the left-right direction, the first support piece 11 is less prone to deformation in the left-right direction. Since the first support piece 11 is less prone to shaking in the left-right direction during casting, the resistance between the fishing line 5 and the fishing line guide 1 is reduced, thereby increasing the flight distance. Furthermore, damage to the fishing line 5 is also reduced.

[0054] In particular, since the first extension portion 32 is provided on the first support piece 11, which is shorter than the second support piece 12, the torsion of the fishing line guide 1 can be effectively prevented. Since the first support piece 11 connects the first support portion 21 of the annular piece 10 and the first mounting piece 14, the torsional strength of the first support piece 11 can be further improved, and even if the first support piece 11 becomes longer, the torsional strength of the fishing line guide 1 can be sufficiently ensured.

[0055] When the second support plate 12 has a pair of left and right arms 13, the annular plate 10 can be stably supported by the pair of arms 13, thereby suppressing vibrations of the annular plate 10 in the front-back direction. In particular, as Figure 3 As shown, when the arm plate 13 bends in the first radial direction Z1, it can suppress the rearward deflection X1 of the annular plate 10. Furthermore, when the second support portion 22 supported by the arm plate 13 is located at a position closer to the first radial direction Z1 than the center of the ring mounting hole 20, the annular plate 10 can be effectively supported by the arm plate 13, thereby effectively suppressing the deflection of the annular plate 10 in the front-rear direction.

[0056] When the width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W2 of the middle portion 34 in the left-right direction, the first extension portion 32 can effectively strengthen the vicinity of the first connecting portion 30 of the first support piece 11 while suppressing the increase in weight of the first support piece 11. In particular, when the width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction gradually widens as it approaches the first mounting piece 14, the vicinity of the connecting portion of the first support piece 11 can be effectively strengthened while suppressing the increase in weight of the first support piece 11.

[0057] When a second extension 42 is provided at the first mounting end 40 of the first mounting piece 14, the strength of the first mounting end 40 of the first mounting piece 14 can be improved. Furthermore, the overall integration from the first extension 32 to the second extension 42 is enhanced. Therefore, the first mounting piece 14 is further less prone to twisting. In particular, when the second extension 42 is continuous with the first extension 32, and the width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction is the same as the width W1 of the first extension 32 in the left-right direction, the overall integration from the first extension 32 to the second extension 42 is improved, and the first mounting piece 14 is even less prone to twisting. When the width W3 of the second extension 42 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W4 of the base 43 in the left-right direction, the torsional strength of the first extension 32 can be improved by the second extension 42, while suppressing the increase in weight of the first mounting piece 14.

[0058] When the first support plate 11 is a flat, unbent surface, it can prevent the fishing line on the first extension 32 from getting tangled. Therefore, it is preferable that the first support plate 11 is bent relative to the first mounting plate 14.

[0059] The first separation distance L1 is set to between 1.5 and 2 times the inner diameter 10b of the annular plate 10. The second separation distance L2 is set to between 2 and 3 times the inner diameter 3b of the guide ring 3. That is, the guide ring 3 is farther from the rod body 4 in the first radial direction Z1, and on the other hand, the inner diameter 3b of the guide ring 3 is smaller. The base guide 1a has long legs and a small diameter. During casting, the fishing line 5 released from the reel 6 approaches the base guide 1a in a spiral shape. Because the first separation distance L1 is set to between 1.5 and 2 times the inner diameter 10b of the annular plate 10, and the second separation distance L2 is set to between 2 and 3 times the inner diameter 3b of the guide ring 3, the spiral fishing line 5 released from the reel 6 is less likely to contact the outer circumference of the rod body 4. Therefore, the flight distance can be extended, thereby suppressing fishing line problems generated on the base guide 1a. In addition, since the diameter of the guide ring 3 of the base end guide 1a is small, the base end guide 1a can be made lighter, thereby making the fishing rod lighter.

[0060] On the other hand, the second support plate 12 bends in the first radial direction Z1 of the rod body 4. Therefore, when the spiral fishing line 5 released from the fishing reel 6 collides with the guide ring 3 of the base guide 1a, it can prevent the base guide 1a from deflecting forward X2 significantly. For example, if we assume that the second support plate 12 bends in the second radial direction Z2 of the rod body 4, the base guide 1a is prone to deflect forward X2 significantly when it collides with the guide ring 3 of the base guide 1a. To prevent this deflection, it is necessary to increase the wall thickness of the guide frame 2 to improve its strength. However, if the wall thickness of the guide frame 2 is increased, the base guide 1a becomes heavier, thereby making the fishing rod heavier. In contrast, when the second support plate 12 bends in the first radial direction Z1 of the rod body 4, it can effectively suppress the deflection of the base guide 1a and suppress the increase in weight of the base guide 1a, thus easily balancing the strength and lightness of the base guide 1a. In particular, it is suitable for fishing using PE line.

[0061] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown in (a), the second extension 42 may not be provided on the first mounting plate 14, and a base 43 with a constant width may be provided along the entire length of the first mounting plate 14. In this case, the width W4 of the base 43 in the left-right direction becomes the width W5 of the first mounting plate 14 in the left-right direction, and the width W5 of the first mounting plate 14 in the left-right direction is narrower than the width W1 of the first extension 32 in the left-right direction.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown in (b), the first extension 32 may have a curved piece 70 that bends circumferentially along the rod body 4. The third facing surface 70a (the end face facing the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4) of the curved piece 70 bends radially Z1 circumferentially along the rod body 4. Therefore, when the fishing line guide 1 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4, the third facing surface 70a of the curved piece 70 easily bends along the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4, thereby enabling the fishing line guide 1 to be stably installed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 4.

[0063] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown in (a), the width W5 of the first mounting piece 14 in the left-right direction can be the same as the width W1 of the first extension portion 32 in the left-right direction over approximately its entire length. Furthermore, as... Figure 11As shown in (b), the first extension 32 may have a folded piece 80 that bends forward X2. Preferably, a pair of folded pieces 80 are arranged on the left and right sides. Preferably, the left and right pairs of folded pieces 80 are symmetrical to each other. Preferably, the folded pieces 80 are folded forward X2 relative to the first support piece 11 at a bending angle of less than 90 degrees, for example, the bending angle may be 45 degrees. Preferably, the folded pieces 80 are inclined forward X2 relative to the first support piece 11 in this way, thereby suppressing the torsion of the first support piece 11 by means of the folded pieces 80, while the folded pieces 80 function as a support to suppress the deflection of the first support piece 11 forward X2.

[0064] In addition, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second mounting piece 15 may also have a pair of arm extensions 90 formed by extending a pair of arm pieces 13 respectively. The second mounting piece 15 is formed by connecting the left and right arm extensions 90 together in the left-right direction. In addition, the pair of arm extensions 90 are continuous with each other and folded back at the fourth mounting end 61.
