The present invention relates to a reel seat and a fishing rod equipped with the reel seat. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, various fishing rods including a fishing rod reel seat are known.

[0003] In such a fishing rod, a fishing rod reel seat and a fishing rod grip are usually placed on the rod body, and a reel leg placement portion for placing a reel leg is formed on the upper side or the lower side of the main body of the fishing rod reel seat.

[0004] As a reel seat for such a fishing rod, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is known a reel seat (also called an offset reel seat) in which the position of the reel foot placement portion of the reel seat is offset in the falling direction relative to the axis of the first rod section. According to such an offset reel seat, since the reel foot placement portion is in a state of being moved downward, when a circular double-bearing reel is installed, even if the grip portion on the rear side thereof is gripped, the operating position of the thumb does not become high, thereby being able to suppress the palm from being opened and causing a decrease in operability.

[0005] In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a reel support component on a fishing rod, the fishing rod being in the form of: a grip at the end of a handle; and a reel support component having a reel seat portion set at the front end of the grip for loading and supporting the reel, and a rod holding portion set at the front end of the reel seat portion for accommodating and holding the rear end of a rod (pole), the reel seat portion having: an upper surface extending forward from a portion adjacent to the front end of the grip and including a portion supporting the reel; and a bottom surface having a cross-sectional shape with the lowest point at a substantially central portion and curving upward toward both side edges of the above-mentioned upper surface, the reel seat portion having narrow portions at both ends in the front-to-back direction and a wide portion in the middle thereof in a plan view, the whole being an elliptical shape elongated in the front-to-back direction, and on the above-mentioned wide portion, the bottom surface of the above-mentioned reel is substantially covered in its width direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the reel seat and the fishing rod according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the multiple drawings, common components are marked with the same reference symbols through the multiple drawings. For the sake of convenience, the drawings are not necessarily described in exact scale, and please note this.

[0024] Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, a fishing rod 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a rod body 2; a reel 6 mounted on the rod body 2 via a reel seat 9; and a fishing line guide 10 mounted on the rod body 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the reel seat 9 and the fishing line guide 10 each correspond to a mounting part mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body.

[0025] The rod body 2 is formed by connecting the first rod section 3, the middle rod section 5 and the rod tip section 7, for example. These rod bodies are connected, for example, by plug-in connection. The first rod section 3, the middle rod section 5 and the rod tip section 7 can be connected by a pull-out method, an inverted plug-in method, a sleeve method, or any other known connection method. The rod body 2 can also be composed of a single rod body.

[0026] The first rod section 3, the middle section 5 and the rod tip section 7 are, for example, composed of a tubular body made of fiber-reinforced resin. The tubular body made of fiber-reinforced resin is made by winding a fiber-reinforced resin polyester film (prepreg film) in which a matrix resin is impregnated in the reinforcing fiber on a core shaft, and heating the prepreg film to cure it. As the reinforcing fiber contained in the prepreg film, for example, carbon fiber, glass fiber and any known reinforcing fiber other than them can be used. As the matrix resin contained in the prepreg film, a thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin can be used. After the prepreg film is cured, the core shaft is de-cored. In addition, the outer surface of the tubular body is appropriately ground. Each rod body can also be constructed as a solid shape.

[0027] In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of fishing line guides 10 (fishing line guides 10A to 10D) for guiding the fishing line released from the reel 6 mounted on the reel seat 9 are provided on the first rod section 3, the middle rod section 5, and the rod tip section 7. More specifically, the fishing line guide 10A is provided on the first rod section 3, the fishing line guide 10B is provided on the middle rod section 5, and the fishing line guide 10C is provided on the rod tip section 7. Although a top guide 10D is provided on the top end of the rod tip section 7, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0028] Next, refer to Figure 2 , 3 The basic structure of the reel stand body 12 and the reel stand 9 will be described. Figure 2 (a) is a cross-sectional view showing a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention (a cross-sectional view passing through the central axis of the reel seat); Figure 2 (a) is a cross-sectional view in the vertical direction of the drawing), Figure 2 (b) is a front view showing a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 In the direction shown in (a), the left-right direction (lateral direction) refers to the Figure 2 (a) is perpendicular to the drawing. That is, the front refers to the tip side of the fishing rod, the rear refers to the base end side, the top refers to the reel side relative to the axis X of the first rod (rod) when a double-bearing reel is installed, and the bottom refers to the opposite side. The axis X also corresponds to the axis of the reel seat 9, the reel seat body 12, the reel leg loading part 12a, and the cylindrical part 4, so their directions can be called the axial direction of any one of them. Figure 3 (a) is a diagram showing the structure of a reel seat body of a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 (b) is a diagram showing the structure of a bushing member of a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 (c) is a diagram showing the structure of a nut member of a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 (d) is a diagram showing the structure of a handle portion of a reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] The reel seat body 12 has a reel foot loading surface 12a along its axial direction for loading the reel foot 6a of the fishing reel 6. The reel seat body 12 can be configured to have a length in the range of 150 mm to 200 mm, for example, but is not limited to this. In addition, the reel seat body 12 is formed with a raised portion (trigger) 12b, and the raised portion (trigger) 12b has a curved outer surface, and the curved outer surface is to make the opposite side of the reel foot loading surface 12a slightly raised, so that when holding it with a holding hand, it is easy to hold by supporting the thumb or its proximal part. In addition, it can also be configured so that the rod body is connected to the front side of the reel seat body 12.

[0030] The reel leg placement surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 is formed to be flat, or is formed to have a greater curvature than other circumferential parts (such as the trigger 12b) adjacent to the reel leg placement surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 and is substantially flat, and is formed Figure 2 The reel seat body 12 is shown in the state of extending in the axial direction. A fixed cover 14 is integrally provided at one end (rod top side) of the reel seat body 12. One end of the reel leg placement surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 is provided inside the fixed cover 14.

[0031] Although described in detail later, a movable cover 13 is mounted on the other end (rod tail side) of the reel seat body 12 so as to be freely movable in the axial direction. When the reel foot 6a is placed on the reel foot placement portion 12a and the tip end side is inserted into the fixed cover 14, the rear end side is fastened by the movable cover 13 that moves in the axial direction, and the fishing reel 6 can be mounted and fixed on the reel seat 9. In addition, although the reel seat 9 includes the reel seat body 12 and the movable cover 13, it may also include components other than these.

[0032] Refer again Figure 2 , 3, a reel seat 9 involved in one embodiment of the present invention is described in more detail. As shown in the figure, the reel seat 9 involved in one embodiment of the present invention is installed on the rod body (rod body on the rod tail side) 2a, and comprises: a reel seat body 12, comprising a reel foot carrying portion 12a for carrying the reel foot 6a, and a fixed cover 14 provided on the axial front side (rod top side) of the reel foot carrying portion 12a and a cylindrical portion 4 provided on the axial rear side (rod tail side) of the reel foot carrying portion 12a; a movable cover 13, which is provided on the axial rear side (rod tail side) of the reel foot carrying portion 12a; and a cylindrical nut component 18, which is provided on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 4 and can be moved by The movable cover 13 is moved by rotating, and the movable cover 13 has a snap-fitting portion 16 arranged on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 4 and a cover portion 17 that accommodates at least a part of the reel foot 6a. The nut component 18 has: an operating portion 18a that protrudes outward in the axial direction from the axial rear side (rod tail side) end of the cylindrical portion and can operate the radial outer side of the cylindrical nut component 18 to rotate the cylindrical nut component 18; an engaged portion 18b that is arranged to be relatively rotatable relative to the cylindrical portion 4, and the inner surface ( Figure 2 , 3 example) or outside (described later Fig. 9 The movable cover 13 is configured to be movable toward the axial front side (rod top side) of the reel seat 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the rod body 2 is inserted through and mounted on a portion ( Figure 2 , 3 Examples shown) or the whole (described later Fig. 9 In the example shown). In addition, a protrusion may be provided on the end of the rod body (rod body on the tail side) 2a. In this way, a rotation prevention structure formed by the shape of the tail end surface portion of the rod body 2 can be adopted. In addition, a bushing may be used instead of the rod body (rod body on the tail side) 2a. In this case, for example, the rod body may be connected to the bushing by plugging, and the rod body may also be connected to the bushing by a sleeve.

[0033] A reel seat involved in one embodiment of the present invention can provide a structure that can prevent hands or fingers from touching the operating parts for fixing the reel foot to the reel seat when holding the reel or casting, even when the position of the reel foot carrying portion of the reel seat is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod. The reel seat can thereby stably maintain the reel in a fixed state to the reel seat. More specifically, a connecting portion 18c is provided to provide a distance between the engaged portion 18b of the nut component 18 and the operating portion 18a. By arranging the operating portion 18a to be closer to the rod tail than the handle portion (handle component) 23 described later, the reel foot loading portion 12a and the operating portion 18a can be formed to be sufficiently separated from each other. Therefore, when holding the reel or performing casting operations, the hand or fingers will not touch the operating component for fixing the reel foot to the reel seat, or the possibility of this will be greatly reduced, thereby enabling the reel 6 to be maintained in a fixed state to the reel seat 9 for a long time.

[0034] Next, refer to Figure 2 and 3 The reel seat according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described. The reel seat body 12 of the reel seat 9 has a front cylindrical portion 15 in the front and a cylindrical portion (rear cylindrical portion) 4 as described above in the rear, and a grip portion (rear grip) 23 to be gripped and held is fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 4. The reel seat body 12 has an intermediate connection portion 24 that connects the front cylindrical portion 15 and the cylindrical portion (rear cylindrical portion) 4 in the axial direction, and they are formed integrally. The outer peripheral surface of the base end side of the rod body 2 constituting the fishing rod is fixed to the inner surface of the front cylindrical portion 15 by bonding or the like, and on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 4, the outer peripheral surface of the base end side of the rod body 2a constituting the tail side of the fishing rod is fixed to the inner surface of the inner protrusion 4a formed to protrude toward the rear side of the reel seat body 12 along the axial direction by bonding or the like, and the handle portion 23 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 4 and is constructed to be in the same plane as the surface of the cylindrical end portion 4b. In this case, the cylindrical end portion 4b is also a portion that is gripped and held together with the handle portion 23, and can constitute a handle. In addition, the fishing rod 1 that fixes the reel seat 9 may be a pull-out type, a joint type, a single rod, etc., and there is no limitation on its structure. Figure 2 In the figure, a part of the fishing rod (a part of the rod body) is shown, and the overall structure is omitted. In addition, an example of a low-profile double-bearing reel (hereinafter also referred to as a reel) as a fishing reel 6 is installed and fixed to the reel seat 9.

[0035] The movable cover 13 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 16 formed with an external thread portion and a cover portion 17 that is bent radially inward and accommodates at least a portion of the reel leg 6a. The cover portion 17 is arranged to enter an opening 8 formed below the rear end surface (near the cylindrical end 4b) of the intermediate connecting portion 24, and the opening 8 is connected to the reel leg loading portion 12a. That is, when the movable cover 13 moves forward, the cover portion 17 is inserted into the rear end portion of the reel leg 6a loaded on the reel leg loading portion 12a in the opening 8.

[0036] The external threaded portion of the engaging portion 16 of the movable cover 13 is screwed with the internal threaded portion formed on the engaged portion 18b, and the engaged portion 18b is formed on the inner surface of the nut member 18 arranged on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 4. That is, by rotating the operating portion 18b of the nut member 18 in one direction, the movable cover 13 can be moved to the axial front side and tighten the rear end side of the reel foot 6a (the installation and fixing state of the reel), and by rotating the nut member 18 in another direction, the movable cover 13 can be moved to the axial rear side and release the rear end side of the reel foot 6a (the disassembly state of the reel). Here, the engaging method of the engaging portion 16 and the engaged portion 18b can consider various existing known methods, and is not limited to a specific form (screwed). In addition, by arranging a stop member 20 on the rear end side of the operating portion 18a, the operating portion 18a can be restricted so that it will not come out to the rear side.

[0037] A handle portion (front handle) may also be fixed to the outer surface of the front cylindrical portion 15, but Figure 2 In the example shown, there is no grip portion. In addition, a rod-tail-side grip portion (rod-tail-side grip member) 26 is formed on the rod-tail-side end portion of the rod-tail-side rod body 2a.

In the following description, the axial direction (front-back direction) and the up-down direction refer to Fig. 9 In the direction shown in (a), the left-right direction (lateral direction) refers to the Fig. 9 (a) is perpendicular to the drawing. That is, the front refers to the tip side of the fishing rod, the rear refers to the base end side, the top refers to the reel side relative to the axis X of the first rod (rod) when a double-bearing reel is installed, and the bottom refers to the opposite side. The axis X also corresponds to the axis of the reel seat 9, the reel seat body 12, the reel leg loading part 12a, and the cylindrical part 4, so their directions can be called the axial direction of any one of them.

[0053] The reel seat body 12 has a reel foot loading surface 12a for loading the reel foot 6a for fishing reel 6 along its axial direction. The reel seat body 12 can be configured to have a length ranging from 150mm to 200mm, for example, but is not limited to this. In addition, the reel seat body 12 forms a raised portion (trigger) 12b, and the raised portion (trigger) 12b has a curved outer surface, and the curved outer surface is to make the opposite side of the reel foot loading surface 12a slightly raised, so that when holding it with a holding hand, it is easy to hold by supporting the thumb or its proximal part. In addition, it can also be configured so that the rod body is connected to the front side of the reel seat body 12.

[0054] The reel leg placement surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 is formed to be flat, or is formed to have a greater curvature than other circumferential parts (such as the trigger 12b) adjacent to the reel leg placement surface 12a of the reel seat body 12 and is substantially flat, and is formed Figure 2 The reel seat body 12 is shown in the state of extending in the axial direction. The reel seat body 12 is integrally provided with a fixed cover 14 at one end (rod top side).
