Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a reel seat for fixing a spinning reel for fishing. Background Art

[0002] In Patent Document 1, an invention related to a reel seat for fixing a spinning reel for fishing is disclosed. The reel seat described in Patent Document 1 includes: a reel seat body having a fixing cover; a movable cover that is axially movable relative to the reel seat body; and a placement surface for placing the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing. By placing the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing on the placement surface and clamping or releasing them with the fixing cover and the movable cover, the spinning reel for fishing can be attached to and detached from the reel seat.

[0003] In the reel seat of Patent Document 1, the thumb is brought into contact with the upper part of the reel seat body, and the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing and the reel seat are held with the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. Thus, it is possible to firmly hold the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing and the reel seat.

[0004] Patent Document Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2023-170992 Summary of the Invention

[0005] In the reel seat of Patent Document 1, a step is formed between the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing and the reel seat body. Therefore, when holding the reel seat, there is a problem that the fingers holding the step portion collide with each other, resulting in deteriorated fishing operability. In particular, since the holding retention may decrease during long-term grasping, it is desired to improve this point.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a reel seat that can improve fishing operability and holding retention.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention is a reel seat for detachably fixing the mounting feet of a spinning reel for fishing, characterized by comprising: a reel seat body having a fixing cover for inserting one end portion of the mounting feet; a movable cover that is axially movably mounted on the reel seat body and is for inserting the other end portion of the mounting feet; and a placement surface that is provided on the reel seat body and places both side portions of the mounting feet, on both side edges of the placement surface, when viewed axially from the reel seat body, a pair of protruding portions protruding in the circumferential direction are respectively formed, The two protruding portions extend along the placing surface in the axial direction of the spool holder body.

[0008] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the spool holder body, the interval between the two protruding portions is 16.5 to 17.5 mm.

[0009] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that the protruding height of the protruding portion from the placing surface is 0.3 to 2.0 mm.

[0010] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that the protruding height of the protruding portion from the placing surface is configured such that the central portion in the axial direction is lower than one end side and the other end side in the axial direction of the spool holder body.

[0011] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that the protruding height of the protruding portion from the placing surface at the central portion in the axial direction of the spool holder body is 0.3 mm.

[0012] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that a groove-shaped meat-removing portion is formed inside the protruding portion. The placing surface is formed at two places on one end side and the other end side in the axial direction of the spool holder body with the meat-removing portion therebetween.

[0013] In addition, in one embodiment, it is characterized in that a hollow portion is formed inside the protruding portion. The wall thickness of the protruding portion is 0.6 to 1.0 mm.

[0014] According to the present invention, since the step formed between the mounting foot of the fishing spinning reel and the spool holder body becomes smaller due to the presence of the pair of protruding portions, the sense of unity (fit) with the mounting foot when holding the spool holder is improved, thereby improving fishing operability. In addition, since the contact of the holding fingers with the step portion becomes smaller, even when grasping for a long time, it is not easy for the fingers to ache, thereby improving the holding retention.

[0015] In addition, according to the configuration of one embodiment, the mounting feet of small and medium-sized fishing spinning reels with high versatility can be appropriately placed on the placing surface, and the step formed between the mounting foot and the spool holder body can be reduced, improving fishing operability. In addition, the holding retention when grasping for a long time can be improved.

[0016] In addition, according to the configuration of one embodiment, by forming the protruding portion along the placing surface, the step formed on the whole of the mounting foot can be reduced. Thus, fishing operability and holding retention can be improved. In addition, since the protruding height of the two protruding portions with respect to the placement surface is such that the central portion is lower than one axial end side and the other end side of the spool holder body, even in the case where the central portion in the front-rear direction of the mounting leg bulges slightly in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the spool holder body, the mounting leg can be properly placed on the placement surface. Thus, fishing operability and grip retention can be improved.

[0017] In addition, according to the configuration of one embodiment, by means of the placement surfaces formed at two places on one axial end side and the other end side of the spool holder body with a simple configuration, the mounting legs can be placed and fixed in a stable state. In addition, by using the meat removal portion, weight reduction of the spool holder body can be achieved. This helps to improve fishing operability.

[0018] In addition, according to the configuration of one embodiment, while ensuring the strength of the two protruding portions, further weight reduction of the spool holder body can be achieved. As a result, improvement in fishing operability can be realized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Next, the reel seat according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each embodiment, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, for "top and bottom", "left and right", and "front and rear", they are in accordance with Figure 2 the arrows. The tip side of the rod is "front", and the butt side of the rod is "rear". In addition, although in the following description, the case where the present invention is applied to a locking-type reel seat, which is a reel seat that moves the movable cover from the rear side to the front side to clamp the mounting foot, it can also be applied to a non-locking-type reel seat, which is a reel seat that reverses the front and rear directions of the reel seat and moves the movable cover from the front side to the rear side to clamp the mounting foot.

[0021] (First Embodiment) As Figure 1 shown, the reel seat 1 according to the present embodiment is a cylindrical member that detachably fixes the mounting foot 50 of a fishing spinning reel. A fishing rod (not shown) is passed through a hollow part 1a (refer to Figure 5A ) inside the reel seat 1 and fixed by adhesion.

[0022] The reel seat 1 includes a reel seat body 10 and a movable cover 20 that is axially movably mounted on the reel seat body 10. The reel seat body 10 is made of synthetic resin and includes a fixed cover 11, a front loading surface 12, a rear loading surface 13, and two protrusions 15.

[0023] The fixed cover 11 is integrally formed at the lower part of the front portion of the spool holder body 10. The fixed cover 11 is the part where the front portion 53 of one end of the mounting foot 50 is inserted. At the upper part of the fixed cover 11, a substantially cylindrical handle mounting portion 16 for mounting the handle 60 is integrally formed. The rear end portion of the handle 60 abuts against the front surface of the raised portion 10a that extends rearward from the fixed cover 11. The raised portion 10a is a portion that is raised in a substantially arc shape on the upper side portion of the spool holder body 10. Inside the raised portion 10a, as Figures 5A - 5C shown, a clearance portion 10f that helps with weight reduction is formed. In addition, the handle 60 is substantially cylindrical and is the part where the user's fingers abut. The handle 60 is formed of a soft member such as cork or foamed resin EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer).

[0024] The movable cover 20 is the part that is mounted at the rear portion of the spool holder body 10 and is for inserting the rear portion 54 of the other end of the mounting foot 50. The movable cover 20 can move in the front - rear direction by being screwed with a threaded portion 10c (refer to Figure 2 ) formed on the rear portion of the spool holder body 10. A knob portion 21 is provided at the rear portion of the movable cover 20. By rotating the knob portion 21 and moving the movable cover 20 in the forward direction, the mounting foot 50 can be clamped and fixed between the fixed cover 11. In addition, by rotating the knob portion 21 and moving the movable cover 20 in the rearward direction, the clamping of the mounting foot 50 can be released and removed.

[0025] As Figure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 3B shown, the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 are flat surfaces for loading the mounting foot 50 and are formed at two places, the front and the rear, of the spool holder body 10. As Figure 4B shown, the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 are arranged at an equal distance from the central axis O1 of the spool holder body 10. As Figure 5A shown, the abutting surfaces 53a, 53a formed on the left and right side portions of the front portion 53 of the mounting foot 50 are loaded on the front loading surface 12. On the other hand, as Figure 5B shown, the abutting surfaces 54a, 54a formed on the left and right side portions of the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 are loaded on the rear loading surface 13. Here, the lower surface 10e of the spool holder body 10 is formed in a convex cross - sectional curved shape in accordance with the concave cross - sectional curved shape of the front portion 53 and the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50. The lower surface 10e of the spool holder body 10 is opposite to the opposing surfaces of the front portion 53 and the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 with a slight gap therebetween, but they may also be in contact. In addition, on the lower surface 10e, asFigure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 4A As shown, a recess 10b is formed for mounting a decorative part.

[0026] As Figure 2 , Figures 5A - 5C shown, when viewed axially from the spool holder body 10, protrusions 15 are respectively formed at symmetric left and right positions. As Figures 5A - 5C shown, the two protrusions 15 protrude circumferentially along the axial direction of the spool holder body at the two side edge portions on the outer sides in the radial direction of the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13, and the top portions as the protruding ends are respectively formed in a substantially triangular cross-section with an arc shape. In addition, as Figure 6 shown, when the user holds the protrusion 15 and the mounting leg 50 together, it extends along the axial direction of the spool holder body at the part where the finger contacts.

[0027] As Figure 5A shown, in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the spool holder body 10 (left-right direction), the interval L1 between the two protrusions 15 is set to 16.5 - 17.5 mm. The interval L1 corresponds to the width dimension in the left-right direction on the mounting leg 50 of a general small or medium-sized fishing spinning reel.

[0028] As Figure 5A shown, in the state where the front portion 53 of the mounting leg 50 is placed on the front loading surface 12, the outer surface 15e of the protrusion 15 and the outer surface 53e of the front portion 53 form a substantially continuous curved surface (substantially arc-shaped). Similarly, as Figure 5C shown, in the state where the rear portion 54 of the mounting leg 50 is placed on the rear loading surface 13, the outer surface 15e of the protrusion 15 and the outer surface 54e of the rear portion 54 form a substantially continuous curved surface (substantially arc-shaped). These substantially curved surfaces are the gripping surfaces where the user's fingers contact when gripping these substantially curved surfaces and the mounting leg 50 together.

[0029] Next, the shape when observing the left and right side surfaces of the protrusions 15, 15 will be described. Since the two protrusions 15 have symmetric left and right and the same shape, the right protrusion 15 will be taken as an example for description here. As Figure 4BAs shown, the protrusion 15 is formed from the front loading surface 12 to the rear loading surface 13, and is wavy with a height difference in the front-rear direction. The protrusion 15 includes a front peak portion 15a and a rear peak portion 15c, which are formed with a relatively high protrusion height from the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13; and a valley portion 15b, which is formed with a relatively low protrusion height compared to the front peak portion 15a and the rear peak portion 15c. In the present embodiment, the front peak portion 15a on the front side of the protrusion 15 is formed to be slightly higher than the rear peak portion 15c.

[0030] The overall protrusion height of the protrusion 15 from the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 is set to 0.3 to 2.0 mm. On the other hand, the valley portion 15b is formed at a position substantially in the center in the front-rear direction of the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13. The valley portion 15b corresponds to the central portion 52 in the front-rear direction of the mounting leg portion 50 (see Figure 1 ). The protrusion height of the valley portion 15b from the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 is set to 0.3 mm.

[0031] As Figures 5A - 5C shown, such protrusions 15 locally cover the left and right side surfaces of the mounting leg portion 50 from the side, and by reducing the exposure of the left and right side surfaces of the mounting leg portion 50, it helps to form the above-mentioned gripping surface. In addition, the central portion 52 of the mounting leg portion 50 corresponding to the valley portion 15b ( Figure 1 , Figure 6 ) can avoid interference when mounting the mounting leg portion 50 of the model bulging in the left-right direction.

[0032] Inside the protrusion 15, as Figure 2 , Figure 3A shown, meat removal portions 17 are respectively formed. That is, the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 are arranged with the meat removal portion 17 interposed therebetween, on the front side as one end side and the rear side as the other end side. The meat removal portion 17 is formed in a groove shape, extends along the length direction of the protrusion 15, and is concave with respect to the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13. The bottom surface 17a of the meat removal portion 17 is connected to the front loading surface 12 through the front inclined surface 12a respectively. Similarly, the bottom surface 17a is connected to the rear loading surface 13 through the rear inclined surface 13a respectively. When the mounting leg portion 50 is placed on the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13, the front inclined surface 12a and the rear inclined surface 13a can function as guiding portions for suppressing the hooking of the mounting leg portion 50 to facilitate smooth placement.

[0033] Next, referring to Figure 6 the grasping of the spool holder 1 by the user will be described. As Figure 6As shown, when the user is using it, for example, the thumb F1 abuts against the upper part of the grip 60, and the reel seat body 10 or the floating cover 20 and the mounting foot 50 are held together in a wrapped manner by the index finger F2, middle finger F3, ring finger F4 and little finger F5.

[0034] At this moment, by making the middle finger F3 abut against the front part 53 of the mounting foot 50 in a wrapped manner from the lower side, it is possible to clamp the part from the front part side to the central part side of the reel seat body 10 from below and from the left and right directions. At this moment, through the front peak part 15a of the protruding part 15 of the reel seat body 10, the contact part of the middle finger F3 forms a continuous substantially curved holding surface (refer to Figure 5A ). Thus, due to the existence of the front peak part 15a of the protruding part 15, the steps formed between the left and right side surfaces of the front part 53 of the mounting foot 50 and the two side surfaces of the reel seat body 10 become smaller respectively.

[0035] In addition, by making the ring finger F4 abut against the rear part 54 of the mounting foot 50 in a wrapped manner from the lower side, it is possible to clamp the part on the rear part side of the reel seat body 10 from below and from the left and right directions. At this moment, through the rear peak part 15c of the protruding part 15 of the reel seat body 10, the contact part of the ring finger F4 can form a continuous substantially curved holding surface (refer to Figure 5B ). Thus, the steps formed between the left and right side surfaces of the rear part 54 of the mounting foot 50 and the two side surfaces of the reel seat body 10 become smaller respectively due to the existence of the rear peak part 15c of the protruding part 15. In addition, when changing the holding method so that other fingers contact the front peak part 15a or the rear peak part 15c of the protruding part 15, the effect is the same.

[0036] According to the reel seat 1 according to the first embodiment described above, since the steps formed between the mounting foot 50 and the reel seat body 10 become smaller due to the existence of the two protruding parts 15 (front peak part 15a, rear peak part 15c), the sense of oneness (fitting property) with the mounting foot 50 when the user holds the reel seat body 10 is improved, thereby improving the fishing operation performance. In addition, since the contact of the holding fingers with the step part becomes smaller, even when grasping for a long time, it is not easy for the fingers to ache, thereby improving the holding retention.

[0037] In addition, the interval between the two protrusions 15 is set to be 16.5 to 17.5 mm. In addition, the protruding height of the protrusion 15 with respect to the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13 is set to be 0.3 to 2.0 mm. Thereby, the mounting feet 50 of small and medium-sized spinning reels for fishing with high versatility can be appropriately placed on the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13, and the step formed between the mounting feet 50 and the reel seat body 10 can be reduced, and the fishing operability can be improved. In addition, the holding retention during long-term grasping can be improved.

[0038] In addition, since two protrusions 15 are formed on the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13, the step formed on the whole of the mounting feet 50 can be reduced. Therefore, the fishing operability and the holding retention can be improved.

[0039] In addition, since the protruding height of the two protrusions 15 with respect to the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13 is such that the valley portion 15b at the center is lower than the front side (one end side) and the rear side (the other end side) in the axial direction of the reel seat body, even in the case of a model in which the central portion 52 of the mounting feet 50 bulges slightly in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the reel seat body 10 (left-right direction), there will be no interference, and thus the mounting feet 50 can be appropriately placed. Therefore, the fishing operability and the holding retention can be improved.

[0040] In addition, with the simple structure of the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13, the mounting feet 50 can be placed and fixed in a stable state. In addition, by using the meat removal portion 17, the weight reduction of the reel seat body 10 can be achieved. This helps to improve the fishing operability and further helps to improve the holding retention.

[0041] (Second Embodiment) Figure 7 It is a cross-sectional view of a reel seat body 10A of a reel seat according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a hollow portion 10g is provided inside the protrusion 15 of the reel seat body 10A.

[0042] As Figure 7 shown, a hollow portion 10g is formed substantially entirely inside the raised portion 10a of the reel seat body 10A, and a part of it is formed to enter the inside of the protrusion 15. Thereby, the protrusion 15 becomes a cross-sectionally hollow shape with meat removed.

[0043] Here, the wall thickness of the protrusion 15 is set to be 0.6 to 1.0 mm. That is, the protrusion 15 has a structure with hollow portions 10g, 10g inside and has a specified strength. In addition, the hollow portion 10g may also be formed only inside the protruding portion 15. Furthermore, the size of the hollow portion 10g inside the raised portion 10a can be appropriately set.

[0044] According to this embodiment, in addition to obtaining the same effects as the first embodiment, the strength of the protruding portions 15, 15 can be ensured, and further weight reduction of the reel seat body 10A can be achieved. As a result, improvement in fishing operability can be realized, and furthermore, improvement in the holding retention can be realized.

[0045] (Third Embodiment) Figure 8 FIG. is a side view of the reel seat body 10B of the reel seat according to the third embodiment of the present invention, shown with the top and bottom reversed. The difference between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments is that the two protruding portions 15A (only one is illustrated in Figure 8 ) of the reel seat body 10B are formed in a straight line.

[0046] As Figure 8 shown, the two protruding portions 15A extend in the front-rear direction at a certain height with respect to the front placement surface 12 and the rear placement surface 13. The protruding height of the protruding portion 15A from the front placement surface 12 and the rear placement surface 13 is set to 0.3 to 2.0 mm. By increasing the protruding height, the exposure of the left and right sides of the mounting leg 50 can be reduced, and the sense of oneness (fitting property) with the mounting leg 50 when holding the reel seat body 10B can be improved.

[0047] According to this embodiment, in addition to obtaining the same effects as the first embodiment, since the protruding portion 15A extends in the front-rear direction at a certain height, the step formed between the mounting leg 50 and the reel seat body 10B can be reduced overall from the front placement surface 12 to the rear placement surface 13. Therefore, even when the position of the fingers moves in the front-rear direction when changing the holding method or the like, good fishing operability and holding retention can be maintained.

[0048] As described above, although the embodiments of the present invention have been described, design changes can be appropriately made within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, although the case where the protruding portion 15 (15A) is formed from the front placement surface 12 to the rear placement surface 13 is shown, it is not limited thereto, and it may be formed on at least one of the front placement surface 12 and the rear placement surface 13. In addition, the protruding portion 15 (15A) may not be formed to be connected to the front placement surface 12 and the rear placement surface 13.

[0049] In addition, although the case where the placing surfaces are formed at two locations, i.e., the front placing surface 12 and the rear placing surface 13, is shown, it may be formed at three or more locations, or it may be formed to be connected in the front-rear direction excluding the cut-out portion 17.

[0050] In addition, the protrusion 15 (15A) may also be provided only on one of the front side and the rear side of the reel base body 10 (10A, 10B).
