Technical Field

[0001] cross-reference This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application 2022-145482 (filed on September 13, 2022), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. This invention relates to a fishing rod with a line reel holder. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, various fishing rods with reel seats for fishing rods were known.

[0003] On such a fishing rod, a rod reel holder and a rod handle are usually placed on the rod body, and a reel foot mounting part for mounting the reel foot is formed on the upper or lower side of the rod body on the rod reel holder.

[0004] As such a fishing rod, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a first section rod 1 having a high-rigidity part X located on the rod tail side of the reel seat 8 and a low-rigidity part Y located on the rod tip side of the high-rigidity part X with lower rigidity than the high-rigidity part X. Even when the angler holds the reel seat 8 while pressing the rod tail end against the elbow or abdomen to support the first section rod 1, the high-rigidity part X can maintain sufficient rigidity, so that the part is not easy to bend, thereby being able to support the first section rod 1 and the entire fishing rod in a stable state.

[0005] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a telescopic rod with a reel seat 4 installed on the first rod section 2. A fishing line guide 6 is installed on the rod tip side portion 1a located on the rod tip side of the rod tip section 1. The rod tip side portion 1a is configured to be more rigid than the rod tail side portion 1b. The rod tail side portion 1b is located closer to the rod tail side than the rod tip side portion 1a. It is configured such that while keeping the rod tail side portion 1b in a retracted state inside the first rod section 2, it can also keep the rod tail side portion 1b in an extended state pulled towards the rod tip side of the first rod section 2. In the extended state, the rod tail side portion 1b is easily bent by the pull of a fish.

[0006] Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-84928 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-263843 Summary of the Invention

[0007] Conventional fishing rods have employed a structure where the front portion of the reel holder body has a higher rigidity than the tail portion of the rod tube. Particularly in rods with an offset reel holder, when the rod tube does not pass through the offset reel holder, the reel holder body is made of metal to maintain its strength, or, in the case of resin, the strength is ensured by thickening the wall. This results in increased rigidity of the reel holder body. However, a problem has been found where, under load on the rod tube, the increased rigidity at the front end of the reel holder causes stress concentration on the rod tube in front of the reel holder, leading to increased rod tube breakage. In this respect, the first section of the rod described in Patent Document 1 suffers from a problem where the low-rigidity portion Y causes more stress concentration than the high-rigidity portion X located on the rod tip side. On the other hand, the fishing rod described in Patent Document 2 merely makes the top part of the rod more rigid than the bottom part, which is located closer to the bottom of the rod. It fails to solve the problem that stress concentration can easily occur on the rod tube in front of the reel seat, leading to rod tube breakage.

[0008] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances. The technical problem to be solved is to provide a reel holder that, even when the position of the reel foot mounting portion with the reel holder is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod, can prevent stress concentration at the tail of the rod tube by adjusting the bending rigidity of the cylindrical portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel holder. Therefore, even with the offset structure, damage at the tail of the rod tube is less likely to occur, thereby significantly improving the durability and strength of the rod. Other than the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention will be apparent from the entire specification.

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a reel holder mounted on a rod body, comprising: a reel holder body having a reel foot mounting portion for mounting reel feet, a fixing cover disposed on an axially frontal or rearal side of the reel foot mounting portion, a cylindrical portion disposed on an axially rearal or frontal side of the reel foot mounting portion, and an intermediate connecting portion axially connecting the cylindrical portion to the frontal or rearal cylindrical portion; a movable cover disposed on the axially rearal or frontal side of the reel foot mounting portion; and a nut member disposed on the outside of the cylindrical portion, capable of being moved by rotation, characterized in that the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion of the reel holder body is the same as or lower than the bending rigidity of the tail portion of the rod body.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the lower direction of the reel body in the vertical direction, the bending stiffness of the intermediate connecting portion of the reel body body relative to the bending stiffness of the tail portion of the rod body is in the range of 0.8 to 1.0.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bending rigidity of the lower part of the cable reel holder body is 4.9 to 5.4 times that in the transverse direction relative to its longitudinal direction in the cable reel holder body.

[0012] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a fishing rod configured to include any of the above-described reel seat and rod body.

[0013] According to the above embodiments, even when the position of the reel foot mounting portion with the reel holder is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod, stress concentration at the tail of the rod tube can be prevented by adjusting the bending rigidity of the cylindrical portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel holder. Thus, even with the offset structure, it is not easy for damage to occur at the tail of the rod tube, thereby greatly improving the durability and strength of the rod. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The embodiments of the reel holder and fishing rod according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the multiple drawings, common components are labeled with the same reference numerals. For ease of explanation, the drawings are not necessarily described to an exact scale; this should be noted.

[0016] Figure 1This figure illustrates one embodiment of the fishing rod according to the present invention. As shown, a fishing rod 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a rod body 2; a reel 6 mounted on the rod body 2 via a reel holder 9; and a fishing line guide 10 mounted on the rod body 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the reel holder 9 and the fishing line guide 10 each correspond to mounting parts mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body.

[0017] The rod body 2 is constructed, for example, by connecting the first section 3, the middle section 5, and the tip section 7. These rod bodies are joined, for example, by a plug-in joint. The first section 3, the middle section 5, and the tip section 7 can be joined by a pull-out method, a reverse plug-in method, a sleeve method, or any other known joining method. The rod body 2 can also be constructed from a single rod body.

[0018] The first section 3, the middle section 5, and the tip section 7 are, for example, tubular bodies made of fiber-reinforced resin. These tubular bodies are manufactured by winding a fiber-reinforced resin polyester film (prepreg) impregnated with a matrix resin in reinforcing fibers onto a mandrel, and then heating and curing the prepreg. The reinforcing fibers included in the prepreg can be, for example, carbon fiber, glass fiber, or any other known reinforcing fibers. The matrix resin included in the prepreg can be a thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin. After the prepreg is cured, the mandrel is removed. Furthermore, the outer surface of the tubular body is appropriately ground. Each rod body can also be constructed as a solid shape.

[0019] In the illustrated embodiment, multiple line guides 10 (line guides 10A to 10D) are provided on the first rod section 3, the middle rod section 5, and the tip section 7 to guide the fishing line released from the reel 6 mounted on the reel seat 9. More specifically, line guide 10A is provided on the first rod section 3, line guide 10B is provided on the middle rod section 5, and line guide 10C is provided on the tip section 7. Although a top guide 10D is provided at the top of the tip section 7, detailed description is omitted.

[0020] Next, refer to Figure 2 The basic structure of the cable reel holder body 12 and the cable reel holder 9 will be described below. In the following description, axial (front-to-back direction) and vertical (up-down direction) refer to... Figure 2 The direction indicated by the center, left and right (lateral) refers to the direction relative to the center. Figure 2 The directions are orthogonal to each other in the diagram. That is, the front refers to the tip side of the fishing rod, the back refers to the base side, the top refers to the reel side relative to the axis X of the first section of the rod when a double bearing reel is installed, and the bottom refers to the opposite side.

[0021] The reel holder body 12 has a reel foot holding portion 12a along its axial direction for holding the reel foot 6a of the fishing reel 6. The reel holder body 12 may be configured to have a length ranging from 150mm to 200mm, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, the reel holder body 12 has a raised portion (trigger 12b) with a curved outer surface that slightly raises the opposite side of the reel foot holding portion 12a, thereby facilitating grip by supporting the thumb pad or its proximal portion when holding the reel. Alternatively, the rod body may be connected to the rear side of the reel holder body 12.

[0022] The cable reel holder body 12's cable reel foot mounting portion 12a is formed to be flat, or formed to have a greater curvature and be substantially flat than other circumferential portions (e.g., trigger 12b) adjacent to the cable reel holder body 12's cable reel foot mounting portion 12a, and is formed to be Figure 2 The diagram shows the axial extension of the reel holder body 12. A retaining cover 14 is integrally mounted on one end (the rod end side) of the reel holder body 12. One end of the reel foot mounting portion 12a of the reel holder body 12 is disposed inside the retaining cover 14.

[0023] On the other end (rod tip side) of the reel holder body 12, a movable cover 13 is axially movable. With the reel foot 6a placed on the reel foot mounting portion 12a and its rear end embedded in the fixed cover 14, the fishing reel 200 can be mounted and fixed to the reel holder 9 by securing the front end with the axially movable cover 13. Furthermore, although the reel holder 9 includes the reel holder body 12 and the movable cover 13, it may also include other components.

[0024] Refer again Figure 2The following is a more detailed description of a reel holder according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a rod body 2 and includes: a reel holder body 12, a reel foot mounting portion 12a for mounting reel feet 6a, a fixing cover 14 disposed on the axially rearward side (rod tail side) of the reel foot mounting portion 12a, a cylindrical portion 15 disposed on the axially frontward side (rod top side) of the reel foot mounting portion 12a and partially cut off; a movable cover 13 disposed on the axially frontward side (rod top side) of the reel foot mounting portion 12a; and a nut member 18 disposed on the outside of the cylindrical portion 15, which can be rotated to move the movable cover 13. 3. The cylindrical portion 15 has a cylindrical portion 21 and a partially cut-off concave portion 22. The movable cover 13 has a locking portion 16 provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 15 and a cover portion 17 that accommodates at least a portion of the reel foot 6a. The nut member 18 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the concave portion 22 on the outside of the concave portion 22. The inner surface 18a of the nut member 18 engages with the locking portion 16. The movable cover 13 can be moved to the axial rearward side (rod tail side) by the rotation of the nut member 18. The rod body 2 is configured to be able to be inserted into the cylindrical portion 21 of the cylindrical portion 15.

[0025] Next, refer to Figure 2 and 3 Further explanation will be given regarding a reel holder according to one embodiment of the present invention. The reel holder 9 has a cylindrical portion 15 at the front of its reel holder body 12, and a grip portion (rear grip) 23 fixed at the rear for being held and held. The reel holder body 12 has an intermediate connecting portion 24 that connects the cylindrical portion 15 and the rear cylindrical portion 4b axially; these are integrally formed. The base end side outer peripheral surface of the rod body 2, constituting the fishing rod, is fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 15 by bonding or the like. The grip portion 23 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical protrusion 4a that protrudes towards the rear of the reel holder body 12 along the axial direction, and is configured to be flush with the surface of the rear cylindrical portion 4b. At this point, the rear cylindrical portion 4b is also a part that is held and held together with the grip portion 23, and can constitute a grip. Furthermore, the fishing rod 1 with the fixed reel seat 9 can be a pull-out type, a connecting type, a single rod, etc., and its configuration is not limited. Figure 2 The text indicates a portion of the fishing rod (part of the rod body), while the overall structure is omitted. Furthermore, an example is shown where a low-profile, double-bearing reel (hereinafter also referred to as a reel) is mounted and secured to the reel holder 9 as a fishing reel 6.

[0026] The movable cover 13 includes an engaging portion 16 with an externally threaded portion and a radially inwardly curved cover portion 17 that accommodates at least a portion of the reel leg 6a. The cover portion 17 is configured to enter an opening 8 formed below the front end face (end face of the cylindrical portion 15) of the intermediate connecting portion 24, and this opening 8 is connected to the reel leg mounting portion 12a. That is, when the movable cover 13 moves rearward, the cover portion 17 is inserted into the opening 8 into the front end of the reel leg 6a mounted on the reel leg mounting portion 12a.

[0027] The external thread of the engaging portion 16 of the movable cover 13 engages with the internal thread of the nut member 18, which is externally fitted onto the cylindrical portion 15 (or the concave portion 22 of the cylindrical portion 15). That is, by rotating the nut member 18 in one direction, the movable cover 13 can move axially rearward and secure the front end of the reel foot 6a (reel installation, fixed state); by rotating the nut member 18 in the other direction, the movable cover 13 can move axially forward and release the front end of the reel foot 6a (reel disassembly state). Here, the engagement method between the engaging portion 16 and the inner surface of the nut member 18 can be any of various existing known methods, and is not limited to a specific form (threading). Furthermore, a circumferential groove is formed along the circumferential direction on the front end side of the cylindrical portion 15. By installing an annular member (retaining ring) 20 on this part, the nut member 18 can be restrained from disengaging forward.

[0028] On the outside of the reel holder body 12, a handle support 25 is bonded to the nut component 18. A handle (front handle) 26 is fixed to the handle support 25 and is configured to be in the same plane as the surface of the nut component 18 that is rotated. However, it is also possible to omit the handle 26.

[0029] Next, refer to Figure 5 The cross-sectional structure of the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 5 It means Figure 2 A diagram of the AA section. As shown in the figure, the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention is in the state where the rod body 2 is inserted (and the movable cover 13 is located at...). Figure 2 In the case of the position), in the direction from the central axis of the cylindrical portion 15 downwards ( Figure 5When viewed in the direction of the vertical direction (downward direction) of the drawing, and in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 15, the rod body 2, the movable cover (the engaging portion 16), and the reel seat body 12 (cylindrical portion 15 or cylindrical portion 21) are arranged sequentially from the inside. As shown in the figure, the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 21 of the cylindrical portion 15 of the reel seat body 12 is circular or approximately circular, and the inner surface forms a space capable of accommodating the cylindrical rod body 2 and the bent engaging portion 16. The internal shape of the cylindrical portion 21 can be varied depending on the size of the rod body or the shape of the engaging portion 16, and is not limited to a specific form.

[0030] Thus, in the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the thicker part of the reel holder body (the cylindrical part 21 of the cylindrical part 15 is thicker than the concave part 22) inside the reel holder body 12 can be inserted into the reel holder body 12. Therefore, it is possible to provide a reel holder that can correspond to either a round or low-profile dual-axis reel, even when the position of the reel foot mounting part with the reel holder is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod, and can not easily reduce strength and can greatly improve durability.

[0031] Next, refer to Figure 4 The cross-sectional structure of the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 4 It means Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the BB section. As shown in the figure, the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention is in the state where the rod body 2 is inserted (and the movable cover 13 is located at...). Figure 2 In the case of the position), in the direction from the central axis of the cylindrical portion 15 toward the upward direction ( Figure 4 When observing a section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 15 in the direction of the vertical direction of the drawing (the vertical direction of the top), the rod body 2, the reel seat body 12 (cylindrical portion 15 or concave portion 22), and the nut component 18 are arranged sequentially from the inside. Figure 4 When viewed in the direction of the vertical direction (downward direction) of the drawing, and in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 15, the rod body 2 and the nut component 18 are arranged sequentially from the inside, and a space is formed between the rod body 2 and the nut component 18 for the movable cover 13 to pass through. Thus, the engaging portion 16 of the movable cover 13 can move back and forth along the axial direction of the winding reel seat 9 within the cut-off portion of the concave portion 22 of the cylindrical portion 15. Here, as... Figure 4As shown, the concave portion 22 is formed as a concave shape with an opening in the downward direction, thereby achieving a lightweighting of the cylindrical portion 15 of the reel holder body 12. Thus, although the cylindrical portion 15 has a cylindrical portion 21 and a concave portion 22 and is not formed as a complete cylinder, it can be referred to as a cylindrical portion 15 with a portion of it cut off (the same applies to the entire specification).

[0032] Next, refer to Figure 6 The structure of the movable cover 13 on the reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 6 (a) and (b) are both perspective views (the former is a view viewed from an oblique angle, and the latter is a view viewed from an oblique angle). As shown in the figure, the movable cover 13 has a locking part 16 and a cover part 17, in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical part 15 ( Figure 4 Observed from the cross-section shown, the engaging portion 16 is formed in an arc shape or a curve. In this way, the inner surface is closely and firmly bonded to the surface of the rod body 2. In addition, the external thread provided on the outer surface can engage with the internal thread formed on the inner surface 18a of the nut component 18. Furthermore, the engaging portion 16 of the movable cover 13 is formed in an arc shape with an arc angle ranging from 70 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, in a movable cover 13 of a cable reel holder according to one embodiment of the present invention, when viewed radially along the central axis of the cable reel holder 9, the engaging portion 16 and the cover portion 17 are offset (when viewed radially along the central axis of the cable reel holder 9, the cover portion 17 is formed further inward than the engaging portion 16). Furthermore, when the engaging portion 16 and the cover portion 17 are offset, a connecting portion 19 extending perpendicularly to the central axis of the cable reel holder 9 and connecting the engaging portion 16 and the cover portion 17 is provided between the engaging portion 16 and the cover portion 17. Thus, by adjusting the length of the connecting portion 19, The part that allows the rod itself to be inserted into the reel seat body is a thick-walled structure.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reel holder 9 is mounted on a rod body 2 and includes: a reel holder body 12, a reel foot mounting portion 12a for mounting reel feet 6a, a fixing cover 14 disposed on the axial front or rear side of the reel foot mounting portion 12a, a cylindrical portion 15 disposed on the axial rear or front side of the reel foot mounting portion 12a, and an intermediate connecting portion 24 axially connecting the cylindrical portion 15 to the front or rear cylindrical portion; a movable cover 13 disposed on the axial rear or front side of the reel foot mounting portion 12a; and a nut member 18 disposed on the outside of the cylindrical portion 15, which can be moved by rotation, and the bending rigidity of the intermediate connecting portion 24 of the reel holder body 12 is the same as or lower than the bending rigidity of the tail of the rod body.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reel holder 9 can prevent stress concentration at the tail of the rod tube even when the position of the reel foot mounting portion of the reel holder is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod. This can be achieved by adjusting the bending rigidity of the cylindrical portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel holder. Thus, even with the offset structure, it is not easy for damage to occur at the tail of the rod tube. This greatly improves the durability and strength of the rod.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, on the reel holder 9, in the downward direction of the vertical direction of the reel holder 9 ( Figure 2 The up and down directions shown (described later) Figure 7 In the vertical direction shown below, the bending stiffness of the intermediate connecting portion 24 of the reel seat body 12 relative to the bending stiffness of the cylindrical portion 15 of the reel seat body 12 is in the range of 0.8 to 1.0. This improves the durability (or strength) of the rod.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bending rigidity of the lower part of the cable reel holder 9 is 4 to 6 times that in the transverse direction relative to its longitudinal direction. This improves the throwing accuracy.

[0038] Next, refer to Figure 7 The reel holder 9 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be further described. Figure 7The following diagram illustrates the bending rigidity at various positions observed along the extension direction of the reel holder. Position A is the location of the nut engagement portion of the cylindrical part 15, and position B is the location of the front portion of the reel support of the cylindrical part 15. Furthermore, position C is the location of the lowest rigid portion of the lower part of the reel support of the intermediate connecting part 24, position D is the location of the protrusion at the lower part of the reel support of the intermediate connecting part 24, and position E is the location of the front portion of the trigger of the intermediate connecting part 24. Additionally, position F is the location of the connection between the rear cylindrical part 4b and the handle. Position X is the location of the rear end of the first section of the rod (partition for mating), range Y is the range between the first section of the rod (partition for mating) and the front portion of the reel support, and position Z is the location of stress concentration in the first section of the rod (the tail of the rod body) of the mating part 27.

[0039] As shown in the table below, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) at positions B and F is 63.7 and 66.9 respectively, which is higher than at other positions. At position A, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) is lower than at positions B and F, but is 42.8. At positions C, D, and E, the bending stiffness (vertical direction) is 5.1, 7.6, and 6.4 respectively, which is lower than at position B. Thus, the minimum stiffness can be reduced relative to the stiffness of the rod tube tail (6.0). Furthermore, the bending stiffness (lateral direction) at positions C, D, and E is 27.5, 33.0, and 33.9 respectively, which is 4.9 to 5.4 times higher than in the vertical direction.

[0040]

[0041] When a fishing rod equipped with a reel holder according to one embodiment of the present invention is used to engage a fish, a downward force is applied to the rod tip when the fishing reel is turned upward. At this time, since stress is easily concentrated in the area Y, damage may occur, so it is necessary to increase the bending stiffness. On the other hand, it is known that when the bending stiffness of the reel holder body 12 as a whole is increased, stress is easily concentrated near the aforementioned position Z, causing damage. Therefore, by reducing the bending stiffness of the lower side of the reel holder body 12 and the reel foot mounting portion 12a, stress concentration at position Z can be prevented. In addition, in order to make the lower part of the reel holder bend as a whole, so that stress concentration does not occur in a specific part of the lower part of the reel holder, thus reducing the durability (or strength) of the reel holder, the bending stiffness at the protrusion at the hook finger position D and at position E near the tip of the reel foot 6a is reduced. Furthermore, the minimum bending stiffness of the reel holder body 12 is 80% to 100% of the bending stiffness at position Z. Furthermore, although the fishing rod swings laterally toward the reel seat body 12 during casting, the lateral bending stiffness of the reel seat body 12 needs to be increased to reduce jitter during casting. Specifically, by adopting the bending stiffness value described above, casting accuracy can be improved.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fishing rod 1 is configured to include any of the above-described reel seat 9 and rod body 2.

[0043] According to a fishing rod equipped with a reel holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, even when the position of the reel foot mounting portion with the reel holder is offset in the direction of falling into the axis of the first section of the rod, stress concentration at the tail of the rod tube can be prevented by adjusting the bending rigidity of the cylindrical portion and the intermediate connecting portion of the reel holder. Thus, even with the offset structure, it is not easy for damage to occur at the tail of the rod tube, thereby greatly improving the durability and strength of the rod.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cable reel holder 9 may be formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), glass reinforced plastic (GFRP), Al, or Mg. Furthermore, the raw material for the cable reel holder 9 may also be GFRTP (continuous fiber), GFRTP (discontinuous fiber), CFRTP (continuous fiber), CFRTP (discontinuous fiber), or a hybrid fiber. By using such raw materials, sufficient rigidity and strength can be ensured, and weight gain can be suppressed.

These constituent elements can be modified within the scope of this invention to have arbitrary dimensions, raw materials, and configurations.
