Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fishing reel seat for fixing a fishing reel to a fishing rod. Background Technology

[0002] The fishing reel holder described in Patent Document 1 below has a cylindrical movable hood that is axially movable relative to a cylindrical fishing reel holder body. The fishing reel holder body has a fixed hood for holding one end of a fishing reel leg. The movable hood is used to hold the other end of the fishing reel leg. The movable hood has a receiving portion at one point along the entire circumference for inserting one end of the fishing reel leg.

[0003] In the case of large fishing reels, the distance between the two ends of the reel legs is long. Conversely, in the case of small fishing reels, the distance between the two ends of the reel legs is short. Therefore, when a large fishing reel is mounted in a reel holder, the movable cover is positioned axially away from the fixed cover. Conversely, when a small fishing reel is mounted in a reel holder, the movable cover is positioned relatively close to the fixed cover. On the opposite side of the reel legs in the circumferential direction, an axial gap is created between the outer circumferential surface of the reel holder body and the outer circumferential surface of the movable cover. However, this gap is smaller when the movable cover is close to the fixed cover and larger when it is far from the fixed cover. That is, the size of the gap varies depending on the size of the reel legs, thus affecting the tactile feel (grip comfort) of the hand holding (holding) this part.

[0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 3038290 Summary of the Invention [The technical problem that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fishing reel holder that does not easily change the feel of holding the reel even if the length of the reel legs changes. [Technical solutions used to solve technical problems]

[0006] The fishing reel holder of the present invention has a fishing reel holder body and a movable cover, wherein the fishing reel holder body has a fixed cover and a first engaging portion for holding a first end of the fishing reel leg of a fishing reel; the movable cover has a second engaging portion that engages with the first engaging portion, the movable cover being disposed on the fishing reel holder body in such a way that its circumferential movement is restricted while it can move axially, and for holding a second end of the fishing reel leg, the movable cover having a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion, wherein the second receiving portion is circumferentially separated from the first receiving portion and is closer to the fixed cover axially than the first receiving portion, and the first receiving portion or the second receiving portion selectively receives the second end.

[0007] When a large fishing reel is mounted in a reel holder, a fixed cover holds the first end of the reel leg, a first receiving portion houses the second end of the reel leg, and a movable cover holds the second end of the reel leg. Conversely, when a small fishing reel is mounted in a reel holder, the second end of the reel leg is held in a second receiving portion, and a movable cover holds the second end of the reel leg. The second receiving portion is axially closer to the fixed cover than the first receiving portion. Therefore, the difference in axial position between the movable cover when a small fishing reel is mounted in the reel holder and when a large fishing reel is mounted in the reel holder is smaller. This minimizes the change in axial position of the movable cover relative to the reel holder body when the size of the fishing reel changes. Consequently, even when switching to a different sized fishing reel, the change in grip is minimal.

[0008] Preferably, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion selectively engage in a first posture and a second posture, wherein the first posture refers to the posture in which the first receiving portion and the fixed cover face each other axially; and the second posture refers to the posture in which the second receiving portion and the fixed cover face each other axially. According to this structure, the movable cover is selectively restricted to the first posture and the second posture by means of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, thereby enabling the fishing reel leg to be securely held together with the fixed cover.

[0009] Preferably, the first receiving portion has a first open end located at a predetermined distance radially from the central axis of the movable cover, and the second receiving portion has a second open end located at a predetermined distance radially from the central axis of the movable cover and axially closer to the fixed cover than the first open end. According to this structure, the first open end of the first receiving portion and the second open end of the second receiving portion are equidistant from the central axis of the movable cover radially. Therefore, the grip is less likely to change whether the second end of the fishing reel leg is received in the first receiving portion or in the second receiving portion.

[0010] Preferably, the fishing reel holder body has a protruding end that is positioned circumferentially opposite to the fixed cover, at a predetermined distance from the central axis of the fishing reel holder body, and selectively faces either the first opening end or the second opening end. According to this structure, the radial distances from the central axis of the fishing reel holder body to the protruding end of the fishing reel holder body and the first and second opening ends of the movable cover are equal. Therefore, when the protruding end of the fishing reel holder faces the first opening end of the movable cover, the protruding end and the first opening end are coplanar. Furthermore, when the protruding end of the fishing reel holder faces the second opening end of the movable cover, the protruding end and the second opening end are coplanar. Therefore, a good grip can be obtained.

[0011] Preferably, it further includes a first abutment body, which is disposed in the first receiving portion and abuts against the second end, the first receiving portion having a first retaining portion on its inner circumferential surface for retaining the first abutment body. According to this structure, the first abutment body can be made of, for example, a material with excellent cushioning properties. Therefore, damage to the second end of the fishing reel leg can be easily prevented.

[0012] Preferably, the first retaining portion has a first locking portion and a first limiting portion, wherein the first locking portion is used to limit the axial movement of the first abutment body; and the first limiting portion is used to limit the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the first abutment body. According to this structure, the axial movement of the first abutment body is limited by the first locking portion, and the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the first abutment body are limited by the first limiting portion. Therefore, the first abutment body is stable, and the second end of the fishing reel leg that abuts against the first abutment body is also stable.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes a second abutment, which is disposed in the second receiving portion and abuts against the second end, the second receiving portion having a second retaining portion on its inner circumferential surface for retaining the second abutment. According to this structure, the second abutment can be made of, for example, a material with excellent cushioning properties. Therefore, damage to the second end of the fishing reel leg can be easily prevented.

[0014] Preferably, the second retaining portion has a second locking portion and a second limiting portion, wherein the second locking portion is used to limit the axial movement of the second abutment body; and the second limiting portion is used to limit the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the second abutment body. According to this structure, the axial movement of the second abutment body is limited by the second locking portion, and the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the second abutment body are limited by the second limiting portion. Therefore, the second abutment body is stable, and the second end of the fishing reel leg that abuts against the second abutment body is also stable.

[0015] Preferably, the first abutting body and the second abutting body have the same shape. With this structure, the first abutting body and the second abutting body can be shared components. Furthermore, the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion can have the same shape, thereby simplifying the structure of the movable cover and facilitating its manufacture. [Invention Effects]

[0016] Therefore, even if the length of the fishing reel legs changes, the grip feel is not easily affected. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The fishing reel holder for a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The fishing reel holder 1 of this embodiment is used to mount a fishing reel 200 to a fishing rod 100. The fishing reel holder 1 is mounted on the rod body 101 of the fishing rod 100. The fishing reel holder 1 is a cylindrical holder, referred to as a tubular holder. The fishing reel holder 1 is mounted radially outward of the rod body 101 and is glued and fixed in a predetermined position. The fishing reel holder 1 of this embodiment is used for mounting a spinning reel 200, but it can also be used for mounting a double-bearing fishing reel 200. In normal use, the spinning reel 200 is located on the underside of the fishing rod 100. The fishing reel 200 has a reel leg 201. The reel leg 201 has an end in a first axial direction Z1, i.e., a first end 202, and an end in a second axial direction Z2, i.e., a second end 203. The first end 202 faces the first axial direction Z1, and the second end 203 faces the opposite direction to the first axial direction Z1, namely the second axial direction Z2. Furthermore, the first axial direction Z1 can be either the rod tip side or the rod butt side. The first end 202 and the second end 203 of the reel leg 201 face opposite directions axially. By fixing the first end 202 and the second end 203 of the reel leg 201 to the reel holder 1 respectively, the fishing reel 200 can be fixed to the fishing rod 100.

[0019] Both relatively large and relatively small fishing reels 200 can be mounted on the fishing reel holder 1. The large fishing reel 200 has large fishing reel legs 201, that is, fishing reel legs 201 with a long axial length. The small fishing reel 200 has small fishing reel legs 201, that is, fishing reel legs 201 with a short axial length. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The image shows a large fishing reel 200 mounted on the fishing reel holder 1. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The image shows a small fishing reel 200 installed on the fishing reel holder 1.

[0020] The fishing reel holder 1 has a cylindrical fishing reel holder body 2, a cylindrical movable cover 3, and a cylindrical nut 4. The fishing reel holder body 2 is directly or via a spacer (not shown) bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 101. The movable cover 3 covers the radially outer side of the fishing reel holder body 2 in a manner that prevents rotation but allows axial movement. The nut 4 is used to move the movable cover 3 axially. The movable cover 3 and the nut 4 are located at a position in the second axial direction Z2 of the fishing reel holder body 2. Furthermore, a cylindrical grip 5, made of EVA, cork, etc., is provided on the fishing reel holder body 2 in the first axial direction Z1. The grip 5 is mounted from the outer circumferential surface of the fishing reel holder body 2 to the outer circumferential surface of the rod body 101.

[0021] The fishing reel holder body 2 is made of, for example, synthetic resin and integrally formed by injection molding. The first axial end 2a of the fishing reel holder body 2 faces the first axial direction Z1, and the second axial end 2b faces the second axial direction Z2. The fishing reel holder body 2 has a leg mounting surface 10 for mounting the fishing reel legs 201. Furthermore, in a cross-sectional view of the fishing reel holder 1 cut along a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, the direction facing the leg mounting surface 10 is referred to as the vertical direction, and the direction orthogonal to this vertical direction is referred to as the horizontal direction. In the figures, the vertical direction is indicated by reference numeral Y, and the horizontal direction by reference numeral X. A retaining cover 11 for holding the first end 202 of the fishing reel legs 201 is provided at the end of the leg mounting surface 10 in the first axial direction Z1. The retaining cover 11 is integrally formed with the fishing reel holder body 2. The fixing cover 11 opens in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction, and the first end 202 of the fishing reel leg 201 is inserted into the fixing cover 11 from the opening in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction.

[0022] An external thread 12 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fishing reel holder body 2. The external thread 12 is located in the second axial direction Z2, which is closer to the leg mounting surface 10. The external thread 12 extends to the second axial end 2b of the fishing reel holder body 2. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first engaging portion 13 is provided on the area where the external thread portion 12 is formed. The first engaging portion 13 is a guide groove formed by a partial notch in the external thread portion 12, which extends axially to the second axial end 2b of the fishing reel holder body 2. The first engaging portion 13 guides the movable cover 3 to move axially and restricts the circumferential movement of the movable cover 3. That is, the first engaging portion 13 restricts the circumferential rotation of the movable cover 3 and restricts the movable cover 3 to move axially without rotating. The first engaging portion 13 is provided at least two locations facing each other at 180 degrees around the entire circumference of the area where the external thread portion 12 is formed. In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 13 is provided at two locations facing each other in the vertical direction Y. In addition, the first engaging portion 13 may also be provided at a total of four locations with a circumferential interval of 90 degrees.

[0023] A stepped portion 14, with a larger diameter in the first axial direction Z1, is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the fishing reel holder body 2, closer to the external thread portion 12 in the first axial direction Z1. The stepped portion 14 and the leg mounting surface 10 are located on opposite sides in the circumferential direction. A protruding end portion 15 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the fishing reel holder body 2. The protruding end portion 15 and the leg mounting surface 10 are located on opposite sides in the circumferential direction. The protruding end portion 15 is connected to the stepped portion 14 in the first axial direction Z1. The first axial end portion 3a of the movable cover 3 faces the first axial direction Z1, and the second axial end portion 3b of the movable cover 3 faces the second axial direction Z2. The protruding end portion 15 faces the first axial end portion 3a of the movable cover 3 in the axial direction. The protruding end portion 15 is located radially at a predetermined distance L from the central axis 2c of the fishing reel holder body 2. Furthermore, the central axis 2c of the fishing reel holder body 2 is aligned with the central axis of the movable cover 3, the central axis of the nut 4, and the central axis of the rod body 101. Hereinafter, the central axis 2c of the fishing reel holder body 2 will be simply referred to as the central axis 2c. The protruding end 15 of the fishing reel holder body 2 protrudes further radially outward than the external thread portion 12. The specified distance L from the protruding end 15 to the central axis 2c coincides with the maximum radius of the first axial end 3a of the movable cover 3. The protruding end 15 is located away from the external thread portion 12 in the first axial direction Z1.

[0024] Nut 4 is screwed into the external thread 12 of the fishing reel holder body 2. A movable cover 3 is located between nut 4 and fixed cover 11. The movable cover 3 is cylindrical and covers the radially outer side of the fishing reel holder body 2. On the inner circumferential surface of the movable cover 3, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, a second engaging portion 20 is provided. The second engaging portion 20 engages with the first engaging portion 13. The second engaging portion 20 is a protrusion extending axially. By engaging the second engaging portion 20 of the movable cover 3 with the first engaging portion 13 of the fishing reel holder body 2, the movable cover 3 will not rotate around the central axis 2c, but can be guided by the first engaging portion 13 and move linearly along the axial direction. A pair of second engaging portions 20 are provided facing each other at 180 degrees. An annular protrusion 21 (first circumferential engaging portion) protruding radially inward is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the second axial end 3b of the movable cover 3. On the other hand, an annular groove 90 (second circumferential engaging portion) recessed radially inward is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the axial end of the nut 4. The annular protrusion 21 of the movable cover 3 engages with the annular groove 90 of the nut 4. Accordingly, as the nut 4 rotates, it moves axially, and the movable cover 3 also moves axially along with the nut 4. Alternatively, annular protrusions can be provided on the nut 4, and annular grooves can be provided on the movable cover 3.

[0025] When the nut 4 is rotated in the first circumferential direction, the movable cover 3 approaches the fixed cover 11 together with the nut 4. When the nut 4 is rotated in the second direction, which is opposite to the first circumferential direction, the movable cover 3 moves away from the fixed cover 11. By rotating the nut 4 in the first circumferential direction, the fishing reel leg 201 can be clamped axially by the fixed cover 11 and the movable cover 3. By rotating the nut 4 in the second circumferential direction, the fishing reel leg 201 can be released. Moreover, when the nut 4 is rotated in the second circumferential direction, the nut 4 will soon disengage from the external thread portion 12 in the second axial direction Z2. When the nut 4 disengages from the external thread portion 12, the second engaging portion 20 of the movable cover 3 can disengage axially from the first engaging portion 13 of the fishing reel holder body 2, thereby allowing the movable cover 3 to disengage axially from the fishing reel holder body 2. When the movable cover 3 moves away from the fishing reel holder body 2 in the second axial direction Z2, the movable cover 3 can be rotated circumferentially. Furthermore, by rotating the movable cover 3 180 degrees circumferentially, and then engaging the second engaging portion 20 of the movable cover 3 with the first engaging portion 13 of the fishing reel holder body 2 again, the movable cover 3 can cover the fishing reel holder body 2 in the first axial direction Z1. That is, the movable cover 3 can be rotated 180 degrees. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The image shows the movable cover 3 in its first posture. Figure 2 and Figure 4 This indicates that the movable cover 3 is in a second posture, which is 180 degrees flipped relative to the first posture. The second posture is a posture in which the cover is flipped up and down relative to the first posture.

[0026] The movable cover 3 has a first receiving portion 22 and a second receiving portion 23 for receiving the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201. The first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 selectively receive the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201. The first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 open toward the axial first end 3a of the movable cover 3. The first receiving portion 22 is provided at a first position throughout the circumference of the movable cover 3. The second receiving portion 23 is provided at a second position throughout the circumference of the movable cover 3. The second position is circumferentially farther away from the first position. In this embodiment, the first position and the second position are 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. That is, the first position and the second position are 180 degrees opposite each other, and the first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 are provided in a manner that faces each other by 180 degrees. Specifically, the first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 face each other in the vertical direction Y. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first receiving section 22 is positioned so that it faces the fixed cover 11 in the axial direction. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second receiving section 23 is in a state where it faces the fixed cover 11 in the axial direction.

[0027] like Figure 8 As shown, the first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 are two portions that partially protrude radially outward from each other at 180 degrees along the entire circumference of the first axial end 3a of the movable cover 3. When viewed axially, the shape of the first axial end 3a of the movable cover 3 is an elongated oval rather than a circle in the direction in which the first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 face each other. That is, the first axial end 3a of the movable cover 3 is longer in the vertical direction Y and shorter in the horizontal direction X. The first receiving portion 22 has a first opening end 24, and the second receiving portion 23 has a second opening end 25. The first opening end 24 and the second opening end 25 are provided at the first axial end 3a of the movable cover 3. Both the first opening end 24 and the second opening end 25 are portions of the outer peripheral surface of the movable cover 3 and are located at a predetermined distance L from the central axis 2c in the radial direction. The second opening end 25 is located further in the first axial direction Z1 than the first opening end 24.

[0028] The second receiving portion 23 is closer to the fixing cover 11 than the first receiving portion 22. The first receiving portion 22 is suitable for mounting a large fishing reel 200, while the second receiving portion 23 is suitable for mounting a small fishing reel 200. The first receiving portion 22 is relatively close to the annular protrusion 21, while the second receiving portion 23 is relatively far away from the annular protrusion 21. That is, the second receiving portion 23 is located further in the first axial direction Z1 than the first receiving portion 22. The first receiving portion 22 and the second receiving portion 23 can have different structures, but in this embodiment they are shared structures, differing only in their axial positions.

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable cover 3 is composed of three parts. The movable cover 3 has: a cylindrical cover body 30; and a first abutment 31 and a second abutment 32, which are mounted on the inner circumferential surface of the cover body 30 for abutting the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201. Furthermore, in Figures 7-9 In the diagram, multiple dots are marked on the first abutment body 31 and the second abutment body 32 to indicate that the first abutment body 31 and the second abutment body 32 selectively abut against the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201.

[0030] The cover body 30 is the main part of the movable cover 3. An annular protrusion 21 is provided on the cover body 30. The outer peripheral surface of the cover body 30 becomes the outer peripheral surface of the movable cover 3. The cover body 30 is made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin. The first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 are separately provided from the cover body 30, and are made of, for example, synthetic resin. Preferably, the material of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 is softer than that of the cover body 30. When the cover body 30 is made of metal, it is preferable that the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 are made of synthetic resin. The first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 can be made of different materials and have different shapes, but in this embodiment they are shared components with the same shape and material.

[0031] A first abutment 31 is provided on a first receiving portion 22, and a second abutment 32 is provided on a second receiving portion 23. The first receiving portion 22 has a first holding portion 40 for holding the first abutment 31, and the second receiving portion 23 has a second holding portion 41 for holding the second abutment 32. The first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 are arranged facing each other at a 180-degree angle. The axial positions of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 are different from each other. The second abutment 32 is located further in the first axial direction Z1 than the first abutment 31. A first holding portion 40 and a second holding portion 41 are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cover body 30. The first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 are arranged facing each other at a 180-degree angle. The axial positions of the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 are different from each other. The second retaining part 41 is located further in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction than the first retaining part 40. Since the first abutting body 31 and the second abutting body 32 have the same shape, the first retaining part 40 and the second retaining part 41 have the same shape and are offset from each other in the axial direction.

[0032] The first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 are identical components. Figure 13The first abutment 31 is shown as a single unit. Preferably, the first abutment 31 is plate-shaped, extending circumferentially and axially. The first abutment 31 has a main body 51 and an extension 52. The main body 51 has an abutment surface 50 on its inner surface for abutting the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201. The extension 52 extends from the main body 51 in a second axial direction Z2. The main body 51 is the main part of the first abutment 31. The abutment surface 50 is provided up to the first axial end 51a of the main body 51. The first axial end 51a of the main body 51 is the first axial end of the first abutment 31. The extension 52 extends axially from the second axial end 51b of the main body 51. Restricting protrusions 53 extending axially are provided at both circumferential ends of the outer surface of the extension 52. The restricting protrusions 53 are cylindrical and protrude radially outward. A limiting protrusion 53 extends from the second axial end 51b of the main body 51 in a second axial direction Z2. A second engaging portion 20 is provided on the first abutment 31. The second engaging portion 20 is provided on the inner surface of the first abutment 31 and protrudes toward the central axis 2c. The second engaging portion 20 extends from the main body 51 to the extension 52. The second engaging portion 20 extends to the second axial end of the extension 52. The second axial end of the extension 52 is the second axial end of the first abutment 31.

[0033] The first retaining portion 40 has a first recess 42 for the insertion of the first abutment 31, and the second retaining portion 41 has a second recess 43 for the insertion of the second abutment 32. The first recess 42 and the second recess 43 are recessed radially outward.

[0034] The first retaining portion 40 has a first locking portion 44 and a first limiting portion 45. The first locking portion 44 is used to limit the axial movement of the first abutment 31; the first limiting portion 45 is used to limit the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the first abutment 31. In this embodiment, the first locking portion 44 is used to limit the axial first end 51a and axial second end 51b of the main body portion 51.

The limiting protrusions 53 are inserted into the first limiting recesses 45b in the axial second direction Z2.

[0036] The second retaining portion 41 has a second locking portion 46 and a second limiting portion 47. The second locking portion 46 is used to limit the axial movement of the second abutment 32; the second limiting portion 47 is used to limit the circumferential movement and radially inward movement of the second abutment 32. In this embodiment, the second locking portion 46 is used to limit the axial first end 51a and axial second end 51b of the main body portion 51. The second locking portion 46 has a second front stop 46a for limiting the axial movement of the second abutment 32 in a first direction Z1 and a second rear stop 46b for limiting the axial movement of the second abutment 32 in a second direction Z2. The second front stop 46a is provided at the axial first end of the cover body 30 and protrudes radially inward in a flange-like manner.

The second limiting recesses 47b are continuous with the second recesses 43 and further recessed radially outward from the second recesses 43. The limiting protrusions 53 are inserted into the second limiting recesses 47b in the axial second direction Z2.

[0038] exist Figure 1 and Figure 3The diagram shows a large fishing reel 200 mounted on a fishing reel holder 1. With the large fishing reel 200 mounted, the first receiving portion 22 of the movable cover 3 faces the fixed cover 11 axially. The second receiving portion 23 faces the protruding end 15 of the fishing reel holder body 2 axially. The second receiving portion 23 is located further axially in a first direction Z1 than the first receiving portion 22. Specifically, a first gap G1 is created between the protruding end 15 and the second receiving portion 23, and between the protruding end 15 and the second open end 25. The radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the protruding end 15 is the same as the radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the second open end 25. Therefore, the protruding end 15 and the second open end 25 are coplanar across the first gap G1.

[0039] exist Figure 2 and Figure 4 The diagram shows the small fishing reel 200 mounted on the fishing reel holder 1. With the small fishing reel 200 mounted, the second receiving portion 23 of the movable cover 3 faces the fixed cover 11 axially. The second receiving portion 23 is located further axially in the first direction Z1 than the first receiving portion 22. That is, the second receiving portion 23 is closer to the fixed cover 11 than the first receiving portion 22. Therefore, even when replacing the large fishing reel 200 with the small fishing reel 200, the change in the axial position of the movable cover 3 relative to the fishing reel holder body 2 is minimal. Therefore, even when replacing with a fishing reel 200 of a different size, the grip is not significantly affected. The angler can hold the fishing rod 100 with minimal changes in grip.

[0040] In addition, Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this case, the first receiving portion 22 and the protruding end 15 face each other axially. A second gap G2 is formed between the protruding end 15 and the first receiving portion 22, specifically between the protruding end 15 and the first opening end 24. The difference between the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 is small. The palm mainly abuts against the protruding end 15. Because the difference between the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 is small, the change in tactile sensation of the palm is minimal.

[0041] Furthermore, the radial distances L from the central axis 2c to the protruding end 15, L from the central axis 2c to the first opening end 24, and L from the central axis 2c to the second opening end 25 are all the same. Therefore, when a large fishing reel 200 is installed, the protruding end 15 and the first opening end 24 are coplanar across the first gap G1. Conversely, when a small fishing reel 200 is installed, the protruding end 15 and the second opening end 25 are coplanar across the second gap G2. In either case, since the distances L are equal, the tactile sensation in contact with the palm is less likely to change.

[0042] Since a first abutment 31 is provided on the first receiving portion 22 and a second abutment 32 is provided on the second receiving portion 23, damage to the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201 can be prevented by making these first abutment 31 and second abutment 32 from synthetic resin. Furthermore, by making the first abutment 31 and second abutment 32 common components, manufacturing costs can be reduced, and it is easier to maintain a constant contact state with the second end 203, thereby stably and reliably holding the second end 203 in place. Moreover, the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 can be made to have the same shape, as long as their axial positions are offset from each other. Therefore, the structure of the cover body 30 can be simplified, and the manufacture of the cover body 30 can be made easier.

[0043] Thus, the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32, which are independent components of the cover body 30, are held by the first retaining portion 40 and the second retaining portion 41, respectively. Therefore, they can be installed on the cover body 30 even without the use of adhesive, and even if adhesive is used, its amount can be reduced. In particular, since the axial movement of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 is restricted by the first locking portion 44 and the second locking portion 46, the axial position of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 does not change. Therefore, the second end 203 can be stably held. In addition, it is possible to prevent the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 from detaching from the cover body 30 axially. Moreover, since the circumferential movement of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 is restricted by the first limiting portion 45 and the second limiting portion 47, the circumferential position of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 also does not change. Therefore, the second end 203 can be stably held in place. Furthermore, the radially inward movement of the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 is also restricted by the first limiting portion 45 and the second limiting portion 47. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent the first abutment 31 and the second abutment 32 from detaching from the cover body 30.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the receiving part for accommodating the second end 203 of the fishing reel leg 201 is provided with two parts, but it may also have three parts, four parts, etc.
