Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fishing rod bag for carrying and storing fishing rods while fishing. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, anglers use multiple fishing rods when fishing and carry them in a rod bag. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, such rod bags are known to have a larger diameter main body in the middle section along the length direction so as to accommodate multiple fishing rods with reels installed.

[0003] The fishing rod bag disclosed in Patent Document 1 has the following features: a tray for holding a fishing rod is provided at the lower end of the bag body, which is formed in a cylindrical shape; and an opening and closing flap is provided on the bag body via a zipper extending in the longitudinal direction. The opening and closing flap is formed by the side of the bag body, and a small item storage area is provided on the surface of the opening and closing flap.

[0004] With the fishing rod bag upright, the zipper extends from the top of the front of the bag towards the tray side, cutting across the side below the small items storage section and extending to the back. The side section, i.e., the middle of the flap, bulges out, maximizing internal space for the reel mounting area, thus accommodating multiple fishing rods with reels attached. Furthermore, opening the zipper opens the flap, allowing for the removal and storage of the fishing rods with reels.

[0005] Patent documents

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-178343 Summary of the Invention

[0007] In the fishing rod bag disclosed in Patent Document 1, the lower end of the zipper, which is arranged vertically, is transversely cut to form the side of the opening and closing cover. Therefore, the zipper operation requires two steps, making opening and closing difficult. Furthermore, when the fishing rod bag is upright, if the zipper is fully opened, the shape of the opening and closing cover is not well maintained, making it prone to deformation (easily crushed). Moreover, a wall section transversely cuts into the opening and closing cover is formed between the upper end of the tray and the lower end of the opening and closing cover, making it difficult to take the fishing rod out and put it in.

[0008] The present invention addresses the aforementioned problems and aims to provide a fishing rod bag that allows for easy opening and closing of the cover, easy storage and retrieval of fishing rods equipped with reels, and excellent shape retention.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a fishing rod bag that can internally store multiple fishing rods equipped with reels. The bag body comprises: a tray for receiving the base of the fishing rods; and a cylindrical wall integrally formed on the tray to create an internal space for storing the fishing rods. The wall has an opening / closing flap that allows the internal space to be opened or closed by a zipper. The zipper extends from the upper portion of the wall toward the tray, while its lower end bends around the wall and terminates at the tray.

[0010] The fishing rod bag described above is configured such that multiple fishing rods equipped with reels can be stored within the internal space of the cylindrical bag body. A zippered flap is provided on the wall of the bag body, allowing it to be opened or closed. The zipper extends from the upper part of the wall towards the tray side, and its lower end bends around the wall, eliminating the need for a two-step zipper operation and facilitating easy opening and closing of the flap. Furthermore, since the zipper ends at the tray, there is no wall at the lower end when the zipper is opened, allowing for a larger opening of the internal space in the vertical direction, facilitating the loading and unloading of fishing rods. Moreover, because the zipper ends at the tray (and is not formed by cutting across the wall in the middle), the flap maintains its shape and does not obstruct the loading and unloading of fishing rods.

[0011] Thus, according to the present invention, a fishing rod bag can be provided that allows for easy opening and closing of the lid, as well as easy storage and retrieval of multiple fishing rods equipped with reels, while maintaining excellent shape retention. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 6 The structure of one embodiment of the fishing rod bag according to the present invention will be described. Figure 1 It's a 3D image. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The front view of the fishing rod bag shown. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The side view of the fishing rod bag shown is shown. Figure 4 This image shows the state of the zipper being open and the lid being closed. Figure 5 This diagram shows the fishing rod with the reel installed inside after the cover has been opened.

[0022] Furthermore, when defining the directionality of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the position of the pallet on the ground is taken as the reference for the vertical direction, and the direction perpendicular to it is taken as the horizontal direction.

[0023] The fishing rod bag 1 according to this embodiment has a bag body 1A (hereinafter referred to as body 1A) with an internal space S, which can accommodate multiple fishing rods 60 (see reference 1A) in which a reel 50 is installed. Figure 4 , 5 The body 1A is formed, for example, from fiber, resin, or a composite material thereof, and has a cylindrical wall 3 for forming the internal space S. Multiple outer shell components can be bonded, sewn, fused, etc., to form an integrated body 1A.

[0024] At the lower end of the cylindrical wall portion 3 (hereinafter referred to as wall portion 3), a tray 5 is provided to receive the base of a fishing rod placed in the internal space S. A zipper 7, spanning vertically, is provided in the wall portion 3 to open or close the internal space S. The internal space S is opened by moving the operating member 8 downwards. The upper end 7A of the zipper 7 is formed to wrap around the outer periphery of the wall portion 3 in a generally U-shape.

[0025] When viewed in cross-section along a horizontal direction, the wall portion 3 constituting the main body 1A is formed in a generally rectangular shape, including a front wall 3A, left and right side walls 3C and 3D, and a back wall 3B opposite to the front wall 3A. Therefore, adjacent walls are integrated with each other in a state where they are bent at a predetermined angle, and a zipper 7 is disposed between the edge of the front wall (first wall portion) 3A and the edge of the left side wall 3C (second wall portion). Furthermore, the tray 5 is formed in a generally rectangular shape so as to be integrated with the lower ends of the front wall 3A, the left and right side walls 3C and 3D, and the back wall 3B.

[0026] The zipper 7 is configured to extend from the upper region (upper side 7A) of the body 1A toward the tray 5, and bend at the lower side around the wall 3, ending at the tray 5. Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, when viewed from the front, the zipper 7 of this embodiment hangs approximately vertically from the upper end side 7A of the wall portion 3 toward the tray 5 side, and at its lower end side, it bends in a manner that wraps around from the front wall 3A toward the left side wall 3C side.

[0027] The starting point P (inflection point P) of the zipper 7's bend is preferably the position corresponding to the installation position of the fishing rod reel already housed in the internal space S. That is, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the zipper 7 hangs down in a roughly vertical direction, while at position P on the lower side, it is displaced in the horizontal direction along the surface of the left side wall 3C, and hangs down while bending in a way that wraps around the left side wall 3C.

[0028] Based on the structure of the wall portion 3 and the zipper 7 described above, if the operating member 8 of the zipper 7 is pressed down from the upper end 7A towards the lower end, the left side wall 3C essentially functions as an opening and closing cover, opening the internal space S (hereinafter, the opening and closing cover formed by the left side wall 3C is indicated by the symbol 4). Furthermore, the wall portion 3 is configured to gradually bulge radially as it moves from the upper end to the lower end. At this time, the designated area on the lower end (the area where the reel installed on the fishing rod is located) is configured to bulge most radially, ensuring space for the reel installed on the fishing rod.

[0029] The zipper 7, which wraps around the left side wall 3C, ends at the lower end (the portion of tray 5) within the area between the middle position P2 of the left side wall 3C and the edge P3 of the front wall 3A (denoted by P1). In this way, the zipper 7 at the lower end position P does not horizontally cut across the left side wall 3C to form an opening and closing cover, but rather gradually bends and hangs down from position P, wrapping around the left side wall 3C and ending at the portion of tray 5.

[0030] At this point, if the end position P1 of the zipper 7 is moved to the back wall side, the opening and closing cover 4 is prone to winding, affecting its shape retention. Therefore, it is preferable to place it closer to the front wall 3A side than the middle position P2 of the left side wall 3C. Specifically, the length L1 between the end position P1 and the edge P3 of the front wall 3A is made to be about 4cm, and less than 50% of the length L of the left side wall 3C (tray 5).

[0031] According to the configuration of the zipper 7 described above, when the operating member 8 of the zipper 7 is operated to open and close the cover 4, it can be pressed down vertically and can continue to be pressed down from position P to the downward side. That is, as with the known technology described above, after being pressed down to a certain extent, it is not necessary to perform the two-step operation of pressing the zipper 7 into the back wall 3B, making it easy to open and close the cover 4 and take out and store the fishing rod.

[0032] Additionally, since zipper 7 ends at part of tray 5, if zipper 7 is opened to the bottom, as shown... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the internal space S can be opened up considerably in the vertical direction. At this time, there is no wall obstructing the lower part (handle portion) of the fishing rod 60, thus facilitating the taking and placing of the fishing rod 60 with the reel 50 installed. Furthermore, the zipper 7 is not formed by cutting across the left side wall 3C at the middle position, but rather ends closer to the front wall 3A than at the middle position P2 of the left side wall 3C, thus allowing for a wider opening and closing of the cover 4 while maintaining its shape. In other words, this improves the ease of taking and placing the fishing rod 60 and enhances visual visibility.

[0033] For the fishing rod bag 1 described above, it is preferable to provide various storage parts and various components for making handling easier on the main body 1A.

[0034] For example, a strip-shaped member 20 connecting the left side wall 3C and the right side wall 3D is installed on the upper side of the main body 1A. Additionally, a handle 21 is installed in the middle of the back wall 3B. By installing such a strip-shaped member 20 and handle 21, the fishing rod bag 1 can be easily lifted or carried. Alternatively, a shoulder strap (not shown) can be installed to easily carry the fishing rod bag 1 by slinging it over the shoulder.

[0035] Furthermore, it is preferable to provide storage pockets 23 and 24 on the surfaces of the left and right side walls 3C and 3D. Deformable sheet metal or resin board (opening and closing flaps) is sewn and welded onto the surfaces of the left and right side walls 3C and 3D, thereby forming each storage pocket 23 and 24. Each storage pocket 23 and 24 is configured such that its opening and closing can be achieved by operating the zipper 25 and 26 operating components 25a and 26a, respectively. By providing such storage pockets 23 and 24, various fishing hooks, reels, etc. (see reference) can be stored in their internal spaces 23a and 24a. Figure 6 ).

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, storage components 30, 31, and 32 are also provided inside the main body 1A. If multiple fishing rods 60 with reels 50 installed are stored in the internal space S, a space will be formed in a position closer to the upper side than the installation position of the reels. Therefore, by providing storage components 30, 31, and 32 in this part, together with storage pockets 23 and 24, various components carried when fishing can be classified and stored.

[0037] As described above, the zipper 7, which is provided on the body 1A, hangs down in a generally vertical direction, while at position P on the lower end side, it is displaced in the horizontal direction along the surface of the left side wall 3C, bending as it hangs down in a manner that wraps around the left side wall 3C. In such a structure, it is preferable to use a softer fabric (material) to form the area where the zipper 7 bends, and to use a stiffer fabric (material) to form the area closer to the upper end side compared to the area where the bends occur.

[0038] Specifically, the area from the point where the zipper 7 bends downwards (position P on the lower side) of the wall portion 3 is formed using a relatively soft material, such as EVA resin, PE foam (polyethylene foam), or rubber. The area closer to the upper side compared to position P is formed using a relatively hard material, such as polypropylene (PP) coated with polyurethane (PU), PE (polyethylene), or ABS. In this way, because the bending area of ​​the zipper is more flexible, the opening and closing operability of the zipper 7 can be further improved, while the strength and shape retention of the opening / closing cover 4 can also be enhanced.

[0039] In addition, it is preferable to provide a rigid reinforcing plate on the inside of at least the zipper 7 of the body 1A. For example, the reinforcing plate can be formed from a rigid plastic sheet. By overlapping the zipper with such a reinforcing plate, the strength can be improved, and damage can be prevented even if it is subjected to load due to accidental stepping or other reasons.

[0040] Furthermore, regarding the reinforcing plate, it only needs to be formed to a size that overlaps with zipper 7 (zippers 25, 26), such as... Figure 7As shown, the reinforcing plate 40 can be configured to cover the front wall 3A and side wall 3C (3D) of the main body, and it can also be configured to cover the entire surface of the back wall or storage pockets 23 and 24.

[0041] By overlapping and arranging such reinforcing plates 40 at any position on the main body 1A, the strength can be further improved.

[0042] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but can be modified in various ways.

[0043] The size (thickness, length) of the aforementioned cylindrical wall portion 3 can be appropriately modified, and even its cross-sectional shape can be appropriately modified. For example, the cylindrical wall portion can be in the shape of a cylinder, a polygonal cross-section, or a combination thereof, and can be appropriately modified. In this case, in the structure of the cylindrical wall portion, regarding the zipper that extends in the vertical direction and bends at the lower end, when the zipper is viewed from the front, the lower end position P can be used as the inflection point, causing it to deviate in the horizontal direction and extend downwards.
