Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fishing rod, and more specifically, to a fishing rod capable of shortening its retractable size. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, fishing rods have gained attention due to the difficulty of transporting long rods, the inability to transport them according to the limitations of transportation companies, and the high cost of transportation. Therefore, rods that can be shortened and retracted for transport (also known as portable rods) have become increasingly popular. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a first section of the rod, which can be shortened to house multiple extendable rods, is sequentially stored, and a cylindrical cover is provided over this first section. This cover is configured to cover the line guides and the entire rod body of each rod, and can be detached for use, connecting to the rear end of the first section to form a handle.

[0003] Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-101687 Summary of the Invention

[0004] When the fishing rod disclosed in the aforementioned Patent Document 1 is carried in a bag or backpack (hereinafter collectively referred to as a bag), if there is a gap between the rod and the bag, the fishing rod itself will move within the bag, which may result in scratches or damage.

[0005] The present invention addresses the aforementioned problems, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a fishing rod with a structure that, even when housed in a bag, does not easily move within the bag, even when the rod is in a shortened or retractable size.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the fishing rod of the present invention has a cylindrical cover component that covers a first section of the rod containing multiple rods so that the multiple rods do not protrude, and the cover component can be configured as a handle that can be attached and detached from the rear of the first section of the rod. The rod is characterized in that an adjustment mechanism is provided on the first section of the rod and the cover component, and the adjustment mechanism can change the covering position of the cover component to adjust the shrinkage size when the cover component is covered onto the first section of the rod.

[0007] The fishing rod constructed as described above, by covering the first section of the rod with a cylindrical cover, prevents the multiple rod sections housed within the first section from protruding. Furthermore, the cover can be removed and attached to the first section to form a rear grip during use, thus improving operability and shortening the retracted length. Additionally, regarding the first section and the cover, the covering position can be changed via the aforementioned adjustment mechanism to adjust the retracted length when the cover is attached to the first section. Therefore, axial dimensional adjustment can be made according to the size of the housing portion of the cover, preventing the fishing rod from shifting.

[0008] Furthermore, the fishing rod according to the present invention comprises: a reel holder having a reel foot mounting portion for fixing the reel foot of a fishing reel and a pair of covers provided on the front and rear sides of the reel foot mounting portion to securely fix the reel foot; a first rod section integrated with the reel holder and housing multiple rods; and a cylindrical cover member covering the multiple rods so that they do not protrude, and the cover member can form a rear handle that can be attached and detached from the reel holder or the first rod section, characterized in that an adjustment mechanism is provided on the reel holder or the first rod section and the cover member, which can change the covering position of the cover member to adjust the retraction size.

[0009] As described above, the adjustment mechanism of the fishing rod involved in this invention can also be configured to be provided on the reel seat or the first section of the rod and the cover component.

[0010] According to the present invention, a fishing rod with a structure that can be shortened in size and is not easily moved in a bag even when housed in one. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] Figures 1 to 3 This is a diagram illustrating the first embodiment of the fishing rod (movable fishing rod) according to the present invention. The fishing rod 1 shown in the figure is configured as a pull-out type, in which multiple rods 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E are housed in the first rod section 3 and then sequentially pulled out and joined together. The number of rods housed inside the first rod section 3 (the number of joined rods) is arbitrary. In the configuration shown in the figure, the rod with the smallest diameter, 5E, is the tip section.

[0013] Fishing line guides 8A, 8B, and 8C are installed on the first rod section 3 and multiple rod sections 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E to guide the fishing line. Since the fishing rod of this embodiment is intended to use a spinning reel in various fishing reels, the guide feet are raised; therefore, the fishing line guide 8A, located at the base end, is configured as a drooping type. Furthermore, the fishing line guide 8B includes a guide (swivel guide) that is fixed to the top of the rod section by a line bundle or the like, and that slides along the rod section and is fixed at a predetermined position. The fishing line guide 8C is a top guide fixed to the top of the rod section (tip section) 5E.

[0014] At the base end of the aforementioned first section of the rod 3, a reel holder 9 with a reel foot mounting portion 9a is provided. A pair of covers are provided axially before and after the reel holder 9 to secure the reel foot mounted on the reel foot mounting portion 9a. In this embodiment, the pair of covers consists of a fixed cover 11 located axially behind the reel foot mounting portion 9a and a movable cover 12 located axially in front and movable axially. Furthermore, the aforementioned first section of the rod 3 and the reel seat 9 can be formed integrally or separately and then integrated. Additionally, the amount of protrusion of the first section of the rod 3 from the movable cover portion is arbitrary. Moreover, as described later, the movable cover can be positioned behind the reel foot mounting portion 9a, or it can be positioned on either side of the reel foot mounting portion 9a.

[0015] The aforementioned fixed cover 11 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the base end side of the first section of the rod 3, and has a receiving hole 11a opening toward the reel foot mounting portion 9a. The aforementioned movable cover 12 has a receiving hole 12a opening toward the reel foot mounting portion 9a. The aforementioned movable cover 12 has an operating nut 12A with an internal thread portion, which engages with an external thread portion 3A provided in front of the movable cover 12 (cover area) of the first section of the rod 3. At this time, the operating nut 12A and the movable cover 12 are connected by a known engaging structure. When the operating nut 12A is rotated to move it axially, the movable cover 12 can approach / move away from the fixed cover 11 without causing the movable cover 12 to rotate.

[0016] Therefore, by placing the reel foot (not shown) onto the reel foot mounting portion 9a, inserting the rear side into the receiving hole 11a of the fixing cover 11, and rotating the operating nut 12A, the reel foot can be securely fixed using the movable cover 12 and the fixing cover 11. Furthermore, although the external thread portion 3A that engages with the aforementioned operating nut 12A is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the first section of the rod 3, a tubular reel seat (cylindrical seat body) can also be externally embedded on the outer circumferential surface of the first section of the rod 3, and formed on the outer circumferential surface of this reel seat.

[0017] The first section of the rod 3 has a protrusion 3B extending axially further rearward than the part where the reel foot is fixed (fixed cover 11). Since the aforementioned rods 5A to 5E are housed within this protrusion 3B, it has a predetermined length in the axial direction. Furthermore, a lower plug (tail plug) 15 can be attached and removed from the base of the protrusion 3B to prevent the housed rods 5A to 5E from falling out. Additionally, by removing this lower plug 15, maintenance of each rod can be performed.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an external thread portion (an external thread portion for the rear grip) 3C is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 3B. This external thread portion 3C is formed adjacent to the aforementioned fixing cover 11 (formed in the cover area), and the rear grip can be constructed using the cover member 20 by engaging the internal thread portion of the cover member 20 below.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a cylindrical cover component 20 is detachably attached to the first section of the rod 3 along the axial direction. This cover component 20 serves to prevent the multiple rods 5A to 5E stored inside the first section from protruding. In this embodiment, the cover component 20 is cylindrical in shape and is formed so that its diameter increases towards the top. The top portion is closed (with a detachable cover 21 installed) to prevent the multiple rods from protruding. Furthermore, the cover component 20 is made of a hard material such as fiber-reinforced resin, wood, or metal, thereby protecting the rods.

[0020] Preferably, the cover 21 is pre-formed from a soft material such as EVA to prevent damage to the fishing line guide and the tips of each rod even when it comes into contact with the rods 5A to 5E. Furthermore, the cover 21 can be attached to the cover component 20 by pressing, threading, or other means, or it can be fixed by adhesive. Alternatively, the cover 21 can be integrally formed with the cover component 20.

[0021] As described above, in addition to preventing multiple rod sections 5A to 5E from protruding, the aforementioned cover component 20 also functions as a rear grip when mounted on the protrusion 3B of the first rod section 3, and is configured to be fixed to the first rod section 3 using both the front and rear sides. That is, as Figure 1 As shown, by using the front-side fixed cover component 20, the rod can be in a retracted state to prevent it from protruding, as... Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the rear grip state can be achieved by using the rear side fixing cover component 20.

[0022] An adjustment mechanism 50 is provided on the aforementioned first section of the rod 3 and the cover component 20. This adjustment mechanism 50, when the cover component 20 is wrapped around the first section of the rod 3, can change the wrapping position of the cover component 20 (a fixed position relative to the axial direction) to adjust the shrinkage size. That is, it is configured such that, when becoming as... Figure 1 (b) In the contracted state, the fixed position of the cover member 20 can be adjusted axially, so that when it is housed in a bag, no gap is generated between it and the inner surface of the bag.

[0023] While there are no restrictions on the fixing units on the front and rear sides of the aforementioned cover component 20, in this embodiment, an internal thread portion 20A is formed on the inner surface of the opening area of ​​the cover component 20, and the internal thread portion 20A is fixed by screwing it into the external thread portions 3A and 3C of the aforementioned first section rod 3. That is, although the fixing unit can also be configured by pressing or the like, by using a screw engagement, the fixed state can be reliably maintained without loosening.

[0024] By making the fixing units of the aforementioned cover component 20 relative to the front and rear sides of the first section of the rod into the aforementioned screw-fit structure, the adjustment mechanism 50 can be composed of an internal thread portion 20A formed on the cover component 20 and an external thread portion 3A provided with an operating nut 12A, wherein the operating nut 12A is the operating nut 12A for fixing the movable cover 12 of the reel foot. That is, the fixed position of the cover component 20 can be adjusted within the axial length of the external thread portion 3A, thereby allowing adjustment of the shrinkage size. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the open end edge of the cover component 20 is configured to abut against the top end edge of the operating nut 12A in order to maintain this fixed state and prevent the cover component 20 from moving axially towards the base end side.

[0025] Next, refer to Figures 1-4 The method of using the fishing rod described above will be explained. like Figure 1 As shown, when the fishing rod 1 is not in use (when retracted), the cover member 20 can cover the front side of the first rod 3 from the external thread 3A by screwing the internal thread 20A with the external thread 3A on the front side of the first rod 3. Thus, the multiple rods housed in the first rod 3 will not fly out, and the fishing line guides 8A-8C located at the tip of each rod and the tip of each rod are protected by the cover 21 made of a flexible component. Furthermore, in this state, the rods will not come off backward by the lower plug 15.

[0026] During such shrinkage, the shrinkage size can be adjusted by changing the covering position of the cover component 20 (relative to the fixed position in the axial direction) using the aforementioned adjustment mechanism 50.

[0027] Figure 4 (a-1, a-2) are diagrams representing the shortest contraction state. In this example, by rotating the operating nut 12A in the direction of the arrow beforehand, the movable cover 12 is moved to the side closest to the fixed cover 11, which can extend the exposed length of the external thread portion 3A. In this state, by rotating the operating cover component 20 to make it closer to the base end side, and by making the opening edge of the cover component abut against the top edge of the operating nut 12A, the axial fixed position of the cover component 20 can be moved towards the base end side of the first section of the rod, which can shorten the shrinkage dimension (the axial length A of the reel foot mounting portion 9a is the shortest).

[0028] Figure 4 (b-1, b-2) are diagrams representing the longest contraction state. In this example, by rotating the operating nut 12A in the direction of the arrow beforehand, the movable cover 12 is moved away from the fixed cover 11, which shortens the exposed length of the external thread 3A. This exposed length is sufficient to allow the internal thread 20A of the cover component 20 to engage and be fixed. In this state, by rotating the cover component 20, the opening edge of the cover component abuts against the top edge of the operating nut 12A, and the axial fixed position of the cover component 20 moves towards the front of the first section of the rod, thereby extending the retracted dimension (the axial length B of the reel foot mounting portion 9a is the longest).

[0029] Thus, since the adjustment mechanism 50 of this embodiment utilizes the external thread portion 3A of the movable cover 12 and the internal thread portion 20A of the cover component 20, it can be simplified. Furthermore, since the position is fixed by abutting the opening edge of the cover component 20 against the top edge of the operating nut 12A, the cover component will not move axially, and a stable fixed state can be obtained.

[0030] In addition, it is preferable that the cover component 20 and the operating nut 12A are formed to be substantially the same plane in the fixed state. In this way, by making the cover component 20 and the operating nut 12A coplanar, it is less likely to snag other items when housed in a bag.

[0031] Furthermore, it is preferable to pre-install a soft component 40 between at least one of the open end edge of the cover component 20 and the top edge of the operating nut 12A. The soft component 40 may be made of, for example, plastic or rubber. As shown in the figure, by pre-installing it on the open end edge of the cover component 20, it can firmly abut against the top edge of the operating nut 12A when in the retracted state to prevent loosening and to prevent damage to the open edge of the cover component.

[0032] Alternatively, in the above configuration, a ring nut may also be provided on the external thread portion 3A where the operating nut 12A is provided (see below). Figure 8 , Figure 9 By providing such an annular nut, since it can abut against the open edge of the cover member 20 that engages with the external thread portion 3A, the position of the cover member 20 can be directly fixed while the reel foot mounting portion 9a is fixed to the reel foot (without changing the position of the operating nut 12A). That is, while maintaining the reel fixed between the fixed cover 11 and the movable cover 12, the shrinkage size can be adjusted by abutting the annular nut against the open edge of the cover member 20.

[0033] In the above configuration, when using the fishing rod 1, the cover part 20 is removed axially from the external threaded portion 3A equipped with the operating nut 12A. Then, as... Figure 2 As shown, the cover member 20 is placed on the opposite side and covers the protrusion 3B, and the internal thread 20A of the cover member 20 is screwed into the external thread 3C formed on the protrusion 3B. In this state, the soft member 40 installed on the opening edge of the cover member 20 firmly abuts against the rear end edge of the fixed cover 11 to prevent loosening and to prevent damage to the opening edge of the cover member.

[0034] Therefore, as Figure 2 (b) Figure 3 As shown, the cover member 20 can function as a rear grip. Furthermore, since the cover member 20 of this embodiment is formed with a diameter that varies along the axial direction, it becomes thicker towards the rear when used as a grip, thereby improving grip.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above configuration, the position of the external thread portion 3C (the fixed position of the cover component 20) relative to the protrusion 3B is arbitrary. For example, by forming it on the base end side of the protrusion 3B, the length of the rear handle when used as a fishing rod can be extended.

[0036] Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Furthermore, in the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals are used to mark the parts that have the same function as in the first embodiment described above, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0037] Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating the second embodiment. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the rod in its current state when used as a fishing rod. Figure 6 (a) is a diagram representing a shorter contraction state. Figure 6 (b) is a diagram representing a longer contraction state.

[0038] In this embodiment, a fixed cover 11 is provided on the front side (top of the rod) of the reel foot mounting section 9a, and a movable cover 12 is provided on the rear side (base end side). The operating nut 12A of the movable cover 12 is screwed into the external thread 3A formed on the protrusion 3B of the first rod 3. By rotating the operating nut 12A, the movable cover 12 can be moved axially.

[0039] An internal thread 26 is formed on the inner surface of the opening at the top of the cover member 20, and is configured to engage with the aforementioned external thread 3A. An external thread 25 is also formed on the opening of the cover member 20, protruding forward from the area where the internal thread 26 is formed. This external thread 25 is used when it covers the front of the first section of the rod 3 and is in a retracted state, and constitutes the adjustment mechanism 50. Furthermore, although the external thread 25 is arranged axially parallel to the internal thread 26, it can also be formed directly on the outer surface of the cover member 20 in a manner that overlaps with the internal thread 26.

[0040] A separate engaging part 70 is mounted on the aforementioned fixed cover 11. This engaging part 70 has a cylindrical portion 71, which is fixed radially inward to the fixed cover 11 and has an enlarged diameter on the front side of the fixed cover 11. An internal thread portion 72 constituting the adjustment mechanism 50 is formed on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 71. That is, the internal thread portion 72 is formed in the cover area and is configured to engage with the aforementioned external thread portion 25 of the cover component 20.

[0041] According to the above configuration, by rotating the operating nut 12A, the movable cover 12 is moved axially, fixing the cable reel to the cable reel foot mounting portion 9a. The internal thread portion 26 of the cover component 20 is then screwed into the exposed external thread portion 3A, enabling the cover component 20 to function as a rear handle (see reference). Figure 5 Furthermore, by removing the cover component 20 and turning it to the opposite side, and screwing the external thread portion 25 into the internal thread portion 72 of the engaging part 70, it can be brought into a retracted state. At this time, by axially shifting the engagement position of the external thread portion 25 of the cover component 20 and the internal thread portion 72 of the engaging part 70, as... Figure 6 As shown in (a) and (b), the shrinkage size can be adjusted. Additionally, Figure 6 (a) is a diagram showing the shortest contracted state of the cover component 20, and (b) is a diagram showing the longer contracted state with the end side screwed in.

[0042] Figure 7 The diagrams shown are for the third embodiment. (a) shows the state in which it is used as a fishing rod, and (b) shows the retracted state.

[0043] In this embodiment, the cover member 20 is provided with a connecting structure when used as a fishing rod and a connecting structure when in a retracted state on both sides. Specifically, an internal thread 26 is formed on one end side of the cover member 20 (the open side in the above embodiment). This internal thread 26 can be formed directly on the inner circumferential surface of the open side of the cover member 20, or, as shown, the internal thread 26 can be formed on the inner surface of a thread-forming part 20F (which is another component), and the thread-forming part 20F can be pressed into and bonded to one end side of the cover member 20. Furthermore, a connecting part 70A is pressed into and fixed on the other end side of the cover member 20. An external thread 70a is formed on the protruding side of the connecting part 70A. Moreover, an internal thread 9C, integrally formed with the front of the reel foot mounting part 9a of the reel seat 9, is provided on the inner side of the fixing cover 11 located on the front side (rod top side) of the reel foot mounting part 9a.

[0044] According to the above configuration, by rotating the operating nut 12A, the movable cover 12 is moved axially, fixing the cable reel to the cable reel foot mounting portion 9a. The internal thread 26 at one end of the cover component 20 is screwed into the exposed external thread 3A, enabling the cover component 20 to function as a rear handle (see reference). Figure 7 (a)). Furthermore, by removing the cover component 20 and directly screwing the external thread 70a of the engagement part 70A on the other end side with the aforementioned internal thread 9C without facing the opposite side, it can be placed in a retracted state (see reference). Figure 7 (b)). At this moment, the shrinkage size can be adjusted by moving the engagement position of the external thread portion 70a and the internal thread portion 9C of the cover component 20 axially.

[0045] Furthermore, in the above configuration, since one end of the cover member 20 is open in the retracted state, a cover member 80, which is another component, can also be installed separately. Additionally, the cover member 80 can be configured to be installed on the other end of the cover member 20 when using a fishing rod. In this case, if the outer diameters of one end and the other end of the cover member are different, it can be constructed using a flexible member capable of radial displacement, and a joining structure capable of being installed on multiple outer diameters can also be formed.

[0046] Figure 8 This diagram illustrates the fourth embodiment and shows the state in which it is used as a fishing rod. In this embodiment, a fixed cover 11 is provided on the front side (top of the rod) of the reel foot mounting section 9a, and a movable cover 12 is provided on the rear side (base end side).

[0047] In this embodiment, the operating nut 12A of the movable cover 12 engages with the external thread 3A formed on the protrusion 3B of the first rod section 3. By rotating the operating nut 12A, the movable cover 12 can be moved axially. An internal thread 20A is formed on the inner surface of the opening at the top of the cover member 20, and is configured to engage with the external thread 3A in the use state. Furthermore, an external thread 3C is formed at the front of the fixed cover 11, and is configured to engage with the internal thread 20A of the cover member 20 in the retracted state.

[0048] An annular nut 30 is further provided on the aforementioned external thread portion 3C. By providing such an annular nut 30, when adjusting the shrinkage size, it can abut against the opening edge of the cover member 20 that is screwed into the external thread portion 3C, so that the cover member 20 can be fixed in this position and will not loosen.

[0049] Figure 9 This diagram illustrates the fifth embodiment and shows the state in which it is used as a fishing rod. In this embodiment, movable covers 12 are provided on the front and rear sides of the reel foot mounting portion 9a. Ring nuts 30 and 30' are respectively provided on the external thread portions 3A and 3A' of the operating nut 12A, which are used to move each movable cover 12. With this configuration, the cover component 20 can be fixed in place during use without loosening, and even in the retracted state, it can abut against the open edge of the cover component 20 that engages with the external thread portion 3A′. Therefore, while the cable reel foot is fixed to the cable reel foot mounting portion 9a, the position of the cover component 20 can be directly fixed without loosening. Furthermore, in the retracted state, the retracted size can be adjusted by changing the engagement position.

[0050] Figure 10 The diagrams shown are for the sixth embodiment. (a) shows the state in which it is used as a fishing rod, and (b) shows the retracted state.

[0051] In this embodiment, a first section of the rod 3 is installed inside a cylindrical reel holder 9, which houses multiple rod sections. A movable cover 12 is provided on the front side (rod top side) of the reel foot mounting portion 9a of the aforementioned reel holder 9, and a fixed cover 11 is provided on its rear side (base end side). Furthermore, instead of forming a protrusion 3B as in the embodiment described above, a separate connecting part 70 is installed on the rear side of the fixed cover 11. This connecting part 70 has a cylindrical portion 71, which is fixed to the radially inner side of the fixed cover 11, and its diameter is enlarged on the rear side of the fixed cover 11. An internal thread portion 72 is formed on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 71. In addition, by pre-screwing the disc-shaped screw-in plug 90 with the pressure groove 91 into the inside of the internal thread 72, it is possible to reliably prevent the first section of the rod 3 from flying out in the retracted state.

[0052] Preferably, the aforementioned first section rod 3 is configured to be of a length that does not protrude from the rear end of the reel seat 9, and its front side is fixed in a state of protruding from the external thread 3A, which is used to screw on the operating nut 12A of the movable cover 12 provided on the reel seat 9.

[0053] Same as the second embodiment described above (see also...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 The aforementioned cover member 20 has an internal thread 26 formed on the inner surface of the opening at its top, and an external thread 25 protrudes forward from the area where the internal thread 26 is formed. Figure 10 As shown in (a), the external thread portion 25 is configured to engage with the internal thread portion 72 of the aforementioned connecting part 70 when used as a fishing rod. Furthermore, as... Figure 10 As shown in (b), the cover member 20 can be screwed into a retracted state by engaging the internal thread portion 26 with the exposed external thread portion 3A. At this time, the retracted size can be adjusted by moving the engagement position of the internal thread portion 26 and the external thread portion 3A of the cover member 20 axially. Based on the above configuration, since no protrusion is formed on the rear side of the reel seat 9, the retractable size of the fishing rod can be shortened.

[0054] Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating the seventh embodiment. In this embodiment, a fixed cover 11 is provided on the front side of the reel foot mounting portion 9a, and a movable cover 12 is provided on the rear side. Similar to the sixth embodiment, the rear side of the movable cover 12 does not have a protrusion; instead, the end is formed directly by engaging the external thread portion 3A of the operating nut 12A. By engaging the internal thread portion 20A of the cover component 20 with this external thread portion 3A, the fishing rod can be used. Furthermore, it is preferable that the length of the first rod section 3 is configured such that it does not protrude from the rear end of the external thread portion 3A.

[0055] Furthermore, an external thread portion 3C is formed on the front side of the fixed cover 11. By screwing the internal thread portion 20A of the cover component 20 into this portion, it can be in a retracted state. At this time, by moving the screwing position of the internal thread portion 20A and the external thread portion 3C of the cover component 20 axially, the retracted size can be adjusted. The above configuration also allows for a reduction in the retractable size of the fishing rod.

[0056] Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating the eighth embodiment. In this embodiment, specifically in the seventh embodiment, an internal thread portion 26 is formed in the opening region of the cover member 20, and a radially protruding stepped portion 26a is formed on its inner side.

[0057] When the aforementioned stepped portion 26a is in a retracted state, it is pressed against the top edge of the external thread portion 3C when the internal thread portion 26 of the cover member 20 is screwed and tightened with the external thread portion 3C formed on the front side of the fixed cover 11. With this configuration, when in the contracted state, the cover component 20 can be prevented from loosening, and the position of the cover component can be securely fixed.

[0058] Figure 13 The diagrams shown are for the ninth embodiment. (a) shows the state in which it is used as a fishing rod, and (b) shows the retracted state. In this embodiment, a movable cover 12 is provided on the front side of the reel foot mounting section 9a, and a fixed cover 11 is provided on the rear side.

[0059] A plug 75 is installed radially inside the fixed cover 11 to close the opening of the cable reel holder, and an internal thread 75A is formed on its central portion. Furthermore, a connecting part 76 is pressed and fixed into the opening portion of the cover member 20, and an external thread 76A protrudes from its central portion to engage with the internal thread 75A of the aforementioned plug 75. The cover member 20 has an opening at its rear end, and an internal thread 20E is formed on its inner surface.

[0060] With this configuration, in use, by screwing the external thread 76A of the engaging part 76 of the cover component 20 with the internal thread 75A of the aforementioned plug body 75, it can become a handle (see reference). Figure 13 (a)). Furthermore, by removing the cover component 20 and engaging the internal thread portion 20E on the rear end side with the external thread portion 3A of the movable cover 12, it can be placed in a retracted state. In this retracted state, the retracted size can be adjusted by changing the engagement position. Alternatively, the cover member 80 can be detachably mounted to the cover member 20 in the retracted state, without exposing the aforementioned engaging part 76. Furthermore, with Figure 10 The same implementation method is shown. By pre-screwing the disc-shaped screw-in plug 90 with the pressure groove 91 into the inside of the internal thread 75A, it is possible to reliably prevent the first section of the rod 3 from flying out in the retracted state.

[0061] Based on the above configuration, the shrinkage size can be shortened, and since the radial central portion can be used to engage the threaded portion, a smaller diameter can be achieved.

[0062] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and various modifications can be made. Although the above embodiments illustrate a fishing rod equipped with a reel, it can be configured as a typical pull-out fishing rod without a reel holder and line guide. Furthermore, it can be configured as a fishing rod specifically for a dual-bearing reel, or as a fishing rod equipped with both a spinning reel and a dual-axis reel. In this case, the configuration of the line guide can be changed simply by varying the type of reel installed.

[0063] The length of the aforementioned cover component 20 can be appropriately deformed. Furthermore, regarding the method of fixing the cover component 20 to the first rod section 3, in addition to a screw-in structure, it can be appropriately deformed into a press-in structure, a clamping structure, etc., and the configuration of the adjustment mechanism 50 can also be appropriately deformed accordingly. Furthermore, the various components in the above embodiments can also be applied to other embodiments.
