Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a reel holder for securing a spinning reel used for fishing. Background Technology

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an invention related to a reel holder for fixing a spinning reel for fishing. The reel holder according to Patent Document 1 includes: a reel holder body having a fixed cover; a movable cover that can move axially relative to the reel holder body; and a mounting surface for mounting the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing. By mounting the mounting feet of the spinning reel for fishing on the mounting surface and clamping or releasing them with the fixed cover and the movable cover, the spinning reel for fishing can be mounted and dismounted from the reel holder.

[0003] In the reel holder of Patent Document 1, the thumb rests against the upper part of the reel holder body, and the index, middle, ring, and little fingers grip the mounting feet and reel holder of the fishing spinning reel. This allows for a firm grip on the mounting feet and reel holder of the fishing spinning reel.

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

[0005] In the reel holder of Patent Document 1, a step is formed between the mounting foot of the spinning reel for fishing and the reel holder body. Therefore, when the reel holder is gripped, there is a problem that fingers gripping the step may collide, leading to decreased fishing operability. In particular, this may cause a decrease in grip retention during prolonged gripping, and it is desirable to improve this aspect.

[0006] The present invention was made to solve the aforementioned problem, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a reel holder that can improve fishing operability and grip retention.

[0007] To address the aforementioned problem, the present invention provides a reel holder for easily attaching and detaching the mounting feet of a spinning reel for fishing, characterized in that it comprises: The reel holder body has a retaining cover for inserting one end of the mounting foot; A movable cover is axially movably mounted to the reel seat body for insertion into the other end of the mounting foot; The mounting surface is provided on the cable reel holder body, and the two sides of the mounting feet are mounted thereon. On both sides of the mounting surface, when viewed axially from the winding seat body, there are a pair of protrusions projecting in the circumferential direction. The two protrusions extend axially along the mounting surface of the reel seat body.

[0008] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the two protrusions are spaced 16.5 to 17.5 mm apart in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the reel seat body.

[0009] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the protrusion height of the protrusion from the mounting surface is 0.3 to 2.0 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the protrusion height of the protrusion from the mounting surface is configured such that the central portion in the axial direction is lower than one end and the other end of the axial direction of the reel seat body.

[0011] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the protrusion height of the protrusion from the loading surface on the axial central portion of the reel seat body is 0.3 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a groove-shaped meat-removing portion is formed on the inner side of the protrusion. The loading surface is formed at two locations on one end and the other end of the axial direction of the reel seat body, sandwiching the de-meat portion.

[0013] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a hollow portion is formed inside the protrusion. The wall thickness of the protrusion is 0.6 to 1.0 mm.

[0014] According to the present invention, since the step formed between the mounting foot and the reel seat body of the fishing spinner is reduced due to the presence of a pair of protrusions, the sense of integration (fit) with the mounting foot when gripping the reel seat is improved, thereby enhancing fishing operability. Furthermore, since the contact between the gripping fingers and the step portion is reduced, finger pain is less likely to occur even during prolonged gripping, thus improving grip retention.

[0015] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the mounting feet of a versatile small and medium-sized spinning reel for fishing can be properly placed on the mounting surface, and the step formed between the mounting feet and the reel base body can be reduced, thereby improving fishing operability. In addition, grip retention during prolonged holding is improved.

[0016] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, by forming a protrusion along the mounting surface, the step formed on the entire mounting foot can be reduced. Therefore, fishing maneuverability and grip retention can be improved. Furthermore, since the two protrusions are positioned so that the central portion is lower than one end and the other end of the reel holder body along its axial direction, even in a configuration where the central portion of the mounting feet protrudes slightly in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the reel holder body, the mounting feet can still be properly placed on the reel holder surface. This improves fishing operability and grip retention.

[0017] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the mounting feet can be stably mounted and fixed by a simple mounting surface formed at both the front and rear ends of one and the other end of the axial direction of the reel holder body. Additionally, the use of the trimmed portion allows for weight reduction of the reel holder body. This contributes to improved fishing operability.

[0018] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the configuration allows for further weight reduction of the reel holder body while ensuring the strength of the two protrusions. This, in turn, improves fishing operability. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The reel holder according to embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each embodiment, the same reference numerals are used to label the same parts, and repeated descriptions are omitted. Furthermore, the terms "up and down," "left and right," and "front and back" are used in accordance with… Figure 2 The arrows indicate the direction of travel. The top side of the rod is "front," and the bottom side is "rear." Furthermore, while the following description focuses on applying the invention to a locking type of reel holder where the swim hood moves from the rear to the front to clamp the mounting feet, it can also be applied to a locking type of reel holder where the reel holder's front and rear orientations are opposite, and the swim hood moves from the front to the rear to clamp the mounting feet.

[0021] (First Embodiment) like Figure 1 As shown, the reel holder 1 in this embodiment is a cylindrical component that detachably secures the mounting feet 50 of a spinning reel for fishing. The rod (not shown) passes through the hollow portion 1a inside the reel holder 1 (see reference). Figure 5A In ), it is fixed by adhesive.

[0022] The cable reel holder 1 includes a cable reel holder body 10 and a movable cover 20 movably mounted on the cable reel holder body 10 in the axial direction. The cable reel holder body 10 is made of synthetic resin and includes a fixed cover 11, a front mounting surface 12, a rear mounting surface 13, and two protrusions 15.

[0023] The retaining cover 11 is integrally formed on the lower part of the front portion of the reel holder body 10. The retaining cover 11 is inserted into the front portion 53, which serves as one end of the mounting foot 50. A generally cylindrical handle mounting portion 16 for mounting the handle 60 is integrally formed on the upper part of the retaining cover 11. The rear end of the handle 60 abuts against the front of a raised portion 10a extending rearward from the retaining cover 11. The raised portion 10a is a portion on the upper side of the reel holder body 10 that is raised in a generally arc-shaped manner. On the inner side of the raised portion 10a, such as... Figures 5A to 5C As shown, a gap 10f is formed, which can help reduce weight. In addition, the handle 60 is roughly cylindrical and is the part where the user's fingers rest. The handle 60 is formed from soft parts such as cork or foamed resin EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer).

[0024] The movable cover 20 is mounted on the rear of the reel holder body 10 and is inserted into the rear portion 54, which serves as the other end of the mounting foot 50. The movable cover 20 connects with a threaded portion 10c (see reference) etched on the rear of the reel holder body 10. Figure 2 The sliding cover 20 is screwed together and can move in the front-to-back direction. A knob 21 is provided at the rear of the sliding cover 20. By rotating the knob 21 and moving the sliding cover 20 forward, the mounting foot 50 can be clamped and fixed between it and the fixed cover 11. Furthermore, by rotating the knob 21 and moving the sliding cover 20 rearward, the clamping of the mounting foot 50 can be released and removed.

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 3B As shown, the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 are flat surfaces that mount the mounting feet 50, and are formed on the front and rear of the cable reel holder body 10. Figure 4B As shown, the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 are configured to be equidistant from the central axis O1 of the reel holder body 10. Figure 5A As shown, the abutment surfaces 53a, 53a formed on the left and right sides of the front portion 53 of the mounting foot 50 are placed on the front mounting surface 12. On the other hand, as Figure 5B As shown, the abutment surfaces 54a, 54a formed on the left and right sides of the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 are placed on the rear mounting surface 13. Here, the lower surface 10e of the reel holder body 10 is formed into a curved convex shape according to the concave shape of the cross-section of the front portion 53 and the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50. The lower surface 10e of the reel holder body 10 faces the opposing surfaces of the front portion 53 and the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 with a small gap, but can also make contact. In addition, on the lower surface 10e, as Figure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 4A As shown, a recess 10b is formed for mounting decorative parts.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figures 5A to 5C As shown, when viewed axially from the reel holder body 10, protrusions 15 are formed at symmetrical positions on the left and right sides. Figures 5A-5C As shown, two protrusions 15 protrude circumferentially along the axial direction of the reel holder body from the radially outer side edges of the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13, and the tops of the protrusions are respectively formed into arc-shaped, approximately triangular cross-sections. Furthermore, the protrusions 15 are as follows... Figure 6 As shown, when the user holds the protrusion 15 and the mounting foot 50 together, it extends along the axial direction of the reel holder body at the part that is in contact with the user's fingers.

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

[0028] like Figure 5A As shown, when the front part 53 of the mounting foot 50 is placed on the front mounting surface 12, the outer surface 15e of the protrusion 15 and the outer surface 53e of the front part 53 form a continuous, generally curved (generally arc-shaped) surface. Similarly, as Figure 5C As shown, when the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 is placed on the rear mounting surface 13, the outer surface 15e of the protrusion 15 and the outer surface 54e of the rear portion 54 form a generally curved (generally arc-shaped) surface that is continuous with each other. These generally curved surfaces are the gripping surfaces that the user's fingers contact when holding these generally curved surfaces together with the mounting foot 50.

[0029] Next, the shapes of the protrusions 15 when viewed from their left and right sides will be explained. Since the two protrusions 15 are symmetrical and identical in shape, the right-side protrusion 15 will be used as an example for explanation. Figure 4BAs shown, the protrusion 15 extends from the front mounting surface 12 to the rear mounting surface 13, and has a wavy shape with a height difference in the front-to-back direction. The protrusion 15 includes a front peak 15a and a rear peak 15c, which are formed to be relatively high from the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13; and a valley 15b, which is formed to be relatively low in height compared to the front peak 15a and the rear peak 15c. In this embodiment, the front peak 15a, which is the front part of the protrusion 15, is formed to be slightly higher than the rear peak 15c.

[0030] The protrusion height of the protrusion 15 from the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 is generally set to 0.3 to 2.0 mm. On the other hand, the valley portion 15b is formed at approximately the center of the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 in the longitudinal direction. The valley portion 15b corresponds to the center portion 52 of the mounting foot portion 50 in the longitudinal direction (see reference). Figure 1 The protrusion height of the valley section 15b from the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13 is set to 0.3 mm.

[0031] like Figures 5A to 5C As shown, such protrusions 15 partially cover the left and right sides of the mounting foot 50 from the sides, thereby reducing the exposure of the left and right sides of the mounting foot 50 and helping to form the aforementioned grip surface. Additionally, the central portion 52 of the mounting foot 50 corresponding to the valley portion 15b... Figure 1 , Figure 6 This can avoid interference when installing the mounting feet 50 on models that protrude to the left and right.

[0032] On the inner side of the protrusion 15, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3A As shown, a meat removal section 17 is formed. That is, the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 are disposed on the front side as one end side and the rear side as the other end side, respectively, sandwiching the meat removal section 17. The descrambling portion 17 is formed in the shape of a groove, extending along the length of the protrusion 15, and is concave relative to the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13. The bottom surface 17a of the descrambling portion 17 is connected to the front mounting surface 12 via the front inclined surface 12a. Similarly, the bottom surface 17a is connected to the rear mounting surface 13 via the rear inclined surface 13a. When the mounting foot 50 is placed on the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13, the front inclined surface 12a and the rear inclined surface 13a function as guides to prevent the mounting foot 50 from hooking and to facilitate smooth placement.

[0033] Next, refer to Figure 6 Instructions are provided on how the user should grip the cable reel holder 1. For example... Figure 6As shown, when the user uses it, for example, the thumb F1 is placed against the upper part of the handle 60, and the index finger F2, middle finger F3, ring finger F4 and little finger F5 are used to wrap around and hold the reel body 10 or the swing cover 20 together with the mounting foot 50.

[0034] At this moment, by having the middle finger F3 abut against the front part 53 of the mounting foot 50 from below, the portion from the front to the center of the cable reel body 10 can be gripped from below and from the left and right. At this moment, through the front peak 15a of the protrusion 15 of the cable reel body 10, the contact portion of the middle finger F3 forms a continuous, generally curved gripping surface (see reference). Figure 5A As a result, due to the presence of the front peak 15a of the protrusion 15, the steps formed between the left and right sides of the front part 53 of the mounting foot 50 and the two sides of the reel holder body 10 become smaller.

[0035] Furthermore, by having the ring finger F4 abut against the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 from below, the rear portion of the reel holder body 10 can be gripped from below and from the sides. At this time, through the rear peak 15c of the protrusion 15 of the reel holder body 10, the contact portion of the ring finger F4 can form a continuous, generally curved gripping surface (see reference). Figure 5B As a result, the steps formed between the left and right sides of the rear portion 54 of the mounting foot 50 and the two sides of the reel holder body 10 are reduced due to the presence of the rear peak portion 15c of the protrusion 15. Furthermore, the same effect is achieved when the grip is changed so that other fingers come into contact with the front peak 15a or the rear peak 15c of the protrusion 15.

[0036] According to the first embodiment described above, the reel holder 1 has improved fishing operability because the step formed between the mounting foot 50 and the reel holder body 10 is reduced due to the presence of the two protrusions 15 (front peak 15a and rear peak 15c). This improves the overall feel (fit) of the reel holder body 10 when held by the user, thus enhancing fishing operability. Furthermore, since the contact between the fingers and the step is reduced, finger pain is less likely to occur even during prolonged gripping.

[0037] Furthermore, the interval between the two protrusions 15 is set to 16.5–17.5 mm, and the protrusion height of the protrusions 15 relative to the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 is set to 0.3–2.0 mm. This allows for the proper mounting feet 50 of versatile small and medium-sized fishing reels to be placed on the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13, and reduces the step formed between the mounting feet 50 and the reel holder body 10, improving fishing operability. Additionally, it improves grip retention during prolonged handling.

[0038] Furthermore, since two protrusions 15 are formed on the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13, the step formed on the entire mounting foot 50 can be reduced. Therefore, fishing operability and grip retention can be improved.

[0039] Furthermore, since the protrusion height of the two protrusions 15 relative to the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 is such that the valley portion 15b of the central portion is lower than the front (one end) and rear (the other end) sides of the axial direction of the reel holder body, even in models where the central portion 52 of the mounting foot 50 is slightly raised in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the reel holder body 10 (left-right direction), it will not interfere with it, thus allowing the mounting foot 50 to be properly mounted. Therefore, fishing operability and grip retention can be improved.

[0040] Furthermore, the simple configuration of the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 allows for the stable mounting and fixing of the foot 50. Additionally, the use of the trimmed part 17 enables the weight reduction of the reel holder body 10. This improves fishing operability and, consequently, enhances grip retention.

[0041] (Second Implementation) Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the cable reel holder body 10A according to the 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 cable reel holder body 10A.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, a hollow portion 10g is formed substantially throughout the interior of the raised portion 10a of the reel holder body 10A, a portion of which is formed to extend into the interior of the protrusion 15. Thus, the protrusion 15 becomes a hollow cross-section shape with the material removed.

[0043] Here, the wall thickness of the protrusion 15 is set to 0.6 to 1.0 mm. That is, the protrusion 15 has a structure with hollow portions 10g and 10g inside, and has a specified strength. Alternatively, the hollow portion 10g may be formed only inside the protrusion 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 achieving the same effects as in the first embodiment, the strength of the protrusions 15, 15 is ensured, and the reel holder body 10A is further reduced in weight. This improves fishing operability and, consequently, enhances grip retention.

[0045] (Third Implementation) Figure 8 This is a side view of the cable reel holder body 10B according to the third embodiment of the present invention, shown from top to bottom. The difference between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments is that the two protrusions 15A of the cable reel holder body 10B (in...) Figure 8 The diagram only shows one side, which is formed in a straight line.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, two protrusions 15A extend at a certain height in the front-rear direction, based on the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13. The protrusion height of the protrusions 15A from the front mounting surface 12 and the rear mounting surface 13 is set to 0.3 to 2.0 mm. By increasing the protrusion height, the exposure of the left and right sides of the mounting feet 50 can be reduced, and the sense of integration (fit) between the cable reel holder body 10B and the mounting feet 50 can be improved.

[0047] According to this embodiment, in addition to obtaining the same effects as in the first embodiment, since the protrusion 15A extends at a certain height in the front-rear direction, the step formed between the mounting foot 50 and the reel holder body 10B can be reduced overall from the front mounting surface 12 to the rear mounting surface 13. Therefore, even when changing the grip, the position of the fingers moves in the front-rear direction, maintaining good fishing operability and grip retention.

[0048] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, appropriate design changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, although a protrusion 15 (15A) is shown forming from the front loading surface 12 to the rear loading surface 13, it is not limited to this and may also be formed on at least one of the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13. In addition, the protrusion 15 (15A) may not be formed to be connected to the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13.

[0049] Furthermore, although it is shown that the loading surfaces are formed at two locations, the front loading surface 12 and the rear loading surface 13, they may also be formed at three or more locations, or they may be formed so that the meat removal part 17 is excluded and they are connected in the front-to-back direction.

[0050] Alternatively, the protrusion 15 (15A) may be provided only on one side of the front and rear sides of the reel holder body 10 (10A, 10B).
