[0001] Cross-reference This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-039203 (filed on March 14, 2023), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The invention relates to a reel seat arranged on a fishing rod. Background Art

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a reel seat that can detachably fix a reel leg of a fishing reel.

[0003] Patent Literature Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-113899 Summary of the Invention

[0004] Since the fixed cover is integrally formed with the reel base, it is easy to ensure contact with the reel leg and stably hold the reel leg. However, since the floating cover is held between the reel base and the floating cover, there is a tendency for installation to become loose. For example, in the reel base disclosed in Patent Document 1, the inner side of the floating cover abuts and holds the top of the reel leg. Therefore, even if the floating cover is tightened, it may still become loose (especially in the left-right direction).

[0005] The present invention is made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a reel seat that is not prone to loosening during installation.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is a reel seat for freely attaching and detaching a reel foot of a fishing reel, characterized in that it comprises: a reel seat body having a fixed cover for inserting one end of the reel foot; a floating cover formed to be movable in the axial direction relative to the fixed cover for inserting the other end of the reel foot; a loading portion opposite to the back surface of the reel foot; and a top support extending in the width direction at a position corresponding to the floating cover while being continuous with or separated from the loading portion, contacting the other end of the reel foot in the width direction, or contacting both sides of the other end of the reel foot, and clamping the other end of the reel foot with the upper portion of the inner circumferential surface of the floating cover and the top support.

[0007] According to the present invention, since the top end support extending in the width direction is in contact with the other end portion of the reel leg, loosening of the installation is unlikely to occur.

[0008] Furthermore, it is preferable that the tip support is in line contact or surface contact with both sides in the width direction of the other end portion of the reel leg. Furthermore, it is preferable that the tip support and the other end portion of the reel leg are in line contact or surface contact in the width direction.

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to further prevent the occurrence of mounting looseness.

[0010] In addition, it is preferred that the upper portion of the inner peripheral surface of the floating cover has: a first recess for inserting the other end of the reel leg; and a second recess, which is continuous with the inner side of the first recess and is recessed, and accommodates the top support when the floating cover is tightened.

[0011] According to the present invention, the second recessed portion can prevent the floating cover from contacting the top support when the floating cover is tightened.

[0012] According to the present invention, a cable reel seat that is less likely to become loose can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] (First installation method) Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the embodiment, the same parts are marked with the same symbols and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, the "up and down", "left and right", and "front and back" are based on the Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top side of the rod is "front" and the tail side of the rod is "back".

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the reel seat 1 according to this embodiment is a cylindrical component that detachably secures a fishing reel R. The fishing reel R comprises a reel body R1 and a reel foot R2. The reel body R1 includes a spool, a handle, and other components, and is a device that allows the user to release or reel in the fishing line. In this embodiment, the fishing reel R is exemplified by a dual-axis reel (drum reel), but a spinning reel for fishing may also be used.

[0016] The reel foot R2 is a plate-shaped portion located below the reel body R1. Made of metal, the reel foot R2 comprises a base R3, one end R4, and another end R5. When viewed from the front-to-back axis, the reel foot R2 is slightly curved, convexly extending upward. When viewed from the side, the base R3 is approximately parallel to the axis C of the reel seat 1. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reel foot R2 has one end R4 slightly tilted downward relative to the base R3, while the other end R5 is also slightly tilted downward relative to the base R3.

[0017] The reel leg R2 may be formed with a rigid structure by a lightweight material such as metals such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and magnesium alloy, high-strength resins such as ABS resin and PA resin, or fiber-reinforced resins such as CFRP and GFRP. In addition, in this embodiment, the Figures 1 to 11 The fishing reel R shown and Figures 12-15 The illustrated embodiment shows a case where each fishing reel RA is mounted on the same reel seat 1. The reel legs R2 and RA2 of these fishing reels R and RA differ in shape. The mounting configuration of the fishing reel R is referred to as the "first mounting configuration," and the mounting configuration of the fishing reel RA is referred to as the "second mounting configuration."

[0018] The reel seat 1 is a resin component used to secure the reel leg R2 of a fishing reel R. A rod (not shown) passes through the hollow portion of the reel seat 1 and is secured thereto with adhesive. The reel seat 1 includes a reel seat body 10, a floating cover 11, and an operating knob 12.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the reel seat body 10 is cylindrical and has a hollow portion for passing the rod. The reel seat body 10 includes an external thread portion 21, a guide groove 22, a loading portion 23, a fixing cover 24, a trigger 25, and a top support 26. An external thread portion 21 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the reel seat body 10. The external thread portion 21 is the part where the operating knob 12 is rotated. A plurality of guide grooves 22 are formed extending rearward from the external thread portion 21. The guide grooves 22 are grooves that guide the floating cover 11 in the axial direction. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the placement portion 23 is a portion formed substantially flat along the front-back direction on the upper portion of the reel stand body 10. The placement portion 23 is a portion that faces or contacts the back surface of the reel leg R2.

[0020] A fixed cover 24 is formed on the upper rear portion of the reel base body 10, with an open hole on the front. The fixed cover 24 is used to insert one end R4 of the reel leg R2. A trigger 25 protrudes downward from the lower rear portion of the reel base body 10. The trigger 25 is used to engage the user's finger. The trigger 25 can also be omitted.

[0021] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8A As shown, a top support 26 is formed on the front side of the loading portion 23 and is separated from the loading portion 23. It is a part where the other end R5 of the reel leg R2 is loaded. The top support 26 is arranged so that when the floating cover 11 is tightened (see Figure 1 ) is located inside the swimming cover 11. Figure 8A As shown, the top support 26 is formed on the upper portion of the outer circumference of the reel base body 10. The top support 26 extends in the width direction (left-right direction in the figure) and has a rectangular shape when viewed from above. The width of the top support 26 is approximately equal to the width of the other end R5 of the reel leg R2. Furthermore, the length of the top support 26 in the direction of the axis C is sufficient to accommodate the other end R5 of the reel leg R2, for example, approximately 3 to 10 mm.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the top support 26 includes a central portion 26a, side portions 26b, 26b, and side walls 26c, 26c. When viewed from the front-back axis, the central portion 26a is slightly curved in an upwardly convex arc shape. The side portions 26b are slightly inclined surfaces, with the central portion 26a side becoming higher. The side walls 26c are continuous with the side portions 26b and rise vertically from the outer circumference of the reel seat body 10.

[0023] Furthermore, the entire top support 26 may be a flat surface, a curved surface, or a combination of flat and curved surfaces. For example, the side portions 26b, 26b may be flat surfaces (surfaces parallel to the plane containing the front-back axis and the left-right axis), while the center portion 26a may be curved. The top support 26 may also be formed continuously with the placement portion 23. Furthermore, the center portion 26a and the side portions 26b may be spaced apart.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the floating cover 11 is cylindrical and is imaginarily embedded in the portion of the reel seat body 10 corresponding to the guide groove 22. The floating cover 11 can move forward and backward relative to the reel seat body 10 and is a component that covers the other end R5 of the reel leg R2. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the floating cover 11 includes a main body 31, a cover 32, an engaging portion 33, and a protrusion 34. The main body 31 is a cylindrical portion. The cover 32 is a portion extending obliquely upward toward the rear in the upper half of the main body 31.

[0025] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first recess 35 and second recesses 36, 36 are formed on the upper portion of the inner circumferential surface of the cover portion 32. The first recess 35 is recessed to receive the other end R5 of the reel leg R2. The second recess 36 is substantially smaller than the first recess 35, is connected to the inner side of the first recess 35, and is recessed upward.

[0026] The second recess 36 accommodates the tip support 26 when the floating cover 11 is tightened without the reel leg R2. This prevents interference between the tip support 26 and the floating cover 11. The second recess 36 is narrower in the width direction than the first recess 35. Furthermore, the length of the second recess 36 in the direction of the axis C is sufficiently smaller than that of the first recess 35.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the first recess 35 includes first side surfaces 35a, 35a, an upper surface 35b, and second side surfaces 35c, 35c. The first side surfaces 35a stand upright on both the left and right sides. The upper surface 35b is curved to convexly face upward and slopes diagonally downward as it approaches the front (back). A pair of second side surfaces 35c are provided on the left and right sides, extending diagonally from the first side surfaces 35a to the second recess 36.

[0028] A pair of second recesses 36 are provided on the left and right sides further inward from the first recess 35. The second recess 36 consists of side surfaces 36a, a top surface 36b, and end surfaces 36c. The side surfaces 36a are generally parallel to the side surfaces 35a of the first recess 35. The top surface 36b is generally parallel to the placement portion 23. The top surface 36b may also slope downward as it approaches the front (inward). The end surfaces 36c extend downward from the top surface 36b.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the engaging portion 33 is engaged with the operating knob 12 (refer to Figure 1 The protrusion 34 protrudes from the inner circumference of the main body 31 and extends in the direction of the axis C. The protrusion 34 is a portion that slides within the guide groove 22 of the reel seat body 10. like Figure 1 As shown, the operating knob 12 is connected to the front side of the floating cover 11 and is cylindrical in shape. The operating knob 12 and the floating cover 11 are connected so that they can rotate relative to each other. The operating knob 12 is a component that moves the floating cover 11 in the axial direction. An internal thread portion 41 is formed on the inner circumference of the operating knob 12.

[0030] When the operating knob 12 is rotated in the circumferential direction, the external threaded portion 21 and the internal threaded portion 41 engage with each other, causing the operating knob 12 to rotate in the front-to-back direction while moving in the axial direction. Simultaneously, the floating cover 11 also moves in the axial direction following the operating knob 12. By moving the position of the floating cover 11 in the front-to-back direction relative to the fixed cover 24, the reel leg R2 can be fixed or released.

[0031] Next, the clamping state (contact state) between the other end portion R5 of the reel leg R2, the floating cover 11, and the top support 26 according to the first installation method will be described. Figure 8A and Figure 8B As shown, when the other end R5 of the reel leg R2 is placed on the top support 26 and the operation knob 12 is turned, the other end R5 is clamped in the vertical direction by the floating cover 11 and the top support 26.

[0032] Figure 9 1 and 2 are diagrams showing the contact state of the leg portion of the cord reel according to the first mounting method when viewed from the side. Figure 10 This is a diagram showing the contact state between the leg portion of the reel according to the first mounting mode and the tip support when viewed from the rear side. Figure 11 This is a diagram showing a contact state between the leg portion of the reel according to the first mounting mode and the floating cover when viewed from the front side. Figures 9-11 The blackened portions indicate contact areas between the other end portion R5 of the reel leg R2 and the floating cover 11 and the top support 26 .

[0033] like Figure 10 As shown, on the back surface of the other end portion R5, the vicinity of the corners K1 and K1 of the other end portion R5 makes surface contact with the side portions 26b and 26b of the top support 26 in contact regions H1 and H1. In other words, both sides of the back surface of the other end portion R5 make surface contact with the top support 26. With a line passing through the center of the width direction of the other end portion R5 as the center line C1, the contact regions H1 and H1 are approximately bilaterally symmetrical about the center line C1, and the areas of the contact regions H1 and H1 are also approximately the same.

[0034] In addition, if Figure 11 As shown, on the surface of the other end portion R5 (the surface opposite to the back surface), the corners K1 and the vicinity of K1 of the other end portion R5 are in surface contact with the floating cover 11 in contact areas H2 and H2, respectively. The contact areas H2 and H2 are approximately bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the center line C1, and the areas of the contact areas H2 and H2 are also approximately the same. More specifically, the contact area H2 is the area between the other end portion R5 and the inner side of the upper surface 35b of the first recess 35 (see Figure 7 ) contact area.

[0035] Furthermore, on the surface of the other end portion R5, the center portion of the tip makes line contact with the floating cover 11 in the contact area H3. In other words, the tip of the other end portion R5 makes line contact with the floating cover 11 approximately symmetrically on both sides in the width direction with respect to the center line C1. More specifically, the contact area H3 is formed by tightening the floating cover 11 so that the tip of the other end portion R5 is in contact with the inner side of the upper surface 35b of the first recess 35 (see FIG. Figure 7 ) contact area.

[0036] In addition, as reference Figure 1 The tip of one end portion R4 of the reel leg R2 makes linear contact with the inner side of the fixed cover 24 in the left-right direction. While the contact between the one end portion R4 and the fixed cover 24 is not particularly limited, it is preferably point contact, line contact, or surface contact on both sides in the left-right direction to prevent loosening. Alternatively, the one end portion R4 and the fixed cover 24 may make linear contact or surface contact in the left-right direction.

[0037] According to the reel seat 1 involved in the present embodiment described above, since the other end R5 of the reel leg R2 is clamped by the upper portion of the inner circumference of the floating cover 11 and the top support 26, and the top support 26 is in surface contact with the back surface of the other end R5 of the reel leg R2, it is not easy to be loosened. More specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, the top support 26 makes surface contact with the other end R5 of the reel leg R2 in the contact areas H1, H1 on both sides in the width direction. This prevents loosening of the assembly because the contact is symmetrical on both sides in the width direction.

[0038] According to this embodiment, while the first recess 35 receives the other end portion R5, the upper surface 35b and the other end portion R5 are in contact with each other in the contact areas H2 and H2 (see FIG. Figure 11 ). This symmetrical contact on both sides of the width prevents loosening during installation. Furthermore, since the contact areas H1 and H2 can be clamped at approximately the same position in the vertical direction, stable fixation is possible.

[0039] Furthermore, because the upper surface 35b of the first recess 35 and the tip of the other end R5 of the reel leg R2 are in line contact in the widthwise direction via the contact area H3, loosening of the reel leg is prevented. Since the contact area H3 is bilaterally symmetrical about the centerline C1, it maintains a balanced fit. Furthermore, since contact occurs in the contact area H3 in addition to the contact areas H2 and H2, loosening of the reel leg is also prevented. Furthermore, the contact area H3 allows the other end R5 to be pressed from the front toward the fixed hood 24 when tightening the floating hood 11. This prevents loosening of the reel leg.

[0040] While the contact areas H1 and H2 are in surface contact in this embodiment, similar effects can be achieved even with point or line contact. Furthermore, the contact areas H1 and H1, and the contact areas H2 and H2, do not necessarily need to be bilaterally symmetrical or have the same area. Furthermore, the contact area H3 does not necessarily need to be bilaterally symmetrical about the centerline C1. Furthermore, although not specifically illustrated, the top support 26 and the other end portion R5 may also be in line contact or surface contact in the width direction (continuous in the width direction).

[0041] (Second installation method) As described above, the reel seat 1 of the second mounting mode is the same as the first mounting mode, but the shape of the reel leg RA2 of the fishing reel RA is different from that of the first mounting mode.

[0042] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the reel leg RA2 of the fishing reel RA is generally straight along the axis C, unlike the first mounting method. Specifically, the reel leg RA2 is substantially parallel to the mounting portion 23. When the fishing reel RA is secured to the reel seat 1, one end RA4 of the reel leg RA2 is inserted into the fixed cover 24, while the other end RA5 is inserted into the floating cover 11. When the other end RA5 is placed on the top support 26 and the operating knob 12 is rotated, the other end RA5 is vertically sandwiched between the floating cover 11 and the top support 26.

[0043] Figure 13 1 and 2 are diagrams showing the contact state of the leg portion of the cord reel according to the second mounting method when viewed from the side. Figure 14 This figure shows the contact state between the leg portion of the reel according to the second mounting method and the tip support when viewed from the back. Figure 15 This is a diagram showing a contact state between the reel leg portion and the floating cover when the reel leg portion according to the second mounting method is viewed from the front side. Figures 13-15The blackened portions indicate contact areas between the other end portion RA5 of the reel leg RA2 and the floating cover 11 and the top support 26 .

[0044] like Figure 14 As shown, on the back surface of the other end portion RA5, the corners KA1 and KA1 of the other end portion RA5 and the side portions 26b and 26b of the top support 26 are in line contact in contact areas H11 and H11. In other words, both sides of the back surface of the other end portion RA5 are in line contact with the top support 26. The contact areas H11 and H11 are approximately symmetrical about the center line C1, and the contact lengths are also approximately the same.

[0045] Furthermore, on the back surface of the other end portion RA5, both sides of the other end portion RA5 make surface contact with both sides of the placement portion 23 in contact areas H13, H13. The contact areas H13, H13 are approximately bilaterally symmetrical about the center line C1 and have approximately the same contact length. Furthermore, on the surface of the other end portion RA5, the tip thereof makes line contact with the floating cover 11 in the contact region H15. In other words, the tip of the other end portion RA5 makes surface contact with the floating cover 11 on both sides in the width direction, approximately symmetrically with respect to the center line C1. More specifically, the contact region H15 is formed by tightening the floating cover 11 so that the tip of the other end portion RA5 is in contact with the inner side of the upper surface 35b of the first recess 35 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 7 ) contact area.

[0046] Although not specifically illustrated, the contact between one end portion of the reel leg RA2 (the end portion opposite to the other end portion RA5) and the fixed cover 24 is not particularly limited. However, point contact, line contact, or surface contact is preferably achieved on both sides in the left-right direction to prevent loosening of the assembly. Alternatively, line contact or surface contact between one end portion and the fixed cover 24 may be achieved in the left-right direction.

[0047] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the reel seat 1 is Figure 14 As shown, since the other end RA5 of the reel leg RA2 is clamped by the upper portion of the inner circumference of the floating cover 11 and the top support 26, and the top support 26 makes line contact with the back surface of the other end RA5 of the reel leg RA2, loosening of the installation is unlikely to occur. More specifically, in this embodiment, the top support 26 makes line contact with the other end RA5 of the reel leg RA2 on both sides of the width direction in the contact areas H11 and H11. This symmetrical contact on both sides of the width direction prevents loosening of the installation. Furthermore, according to the reel seat 1, the reel leg can be evenly clamped when viewed from the side, regardless of whether it is a curved shape as in the first installation method or a straight shape as in the second installation method, thus preventing loosening of the installation.

[0048] Furthermore, because the inner circumferential surface (upper surface 35b) of the floating cover 11 and the surface of the other end RA5 of the reel leg R2 contact each other in the widthwise direction via the contact area H15, loosening of the assembly can be further prevented. Furthermore, because the contact area H15 is bilaterally symmetrical about the centerline C1, it maintains a balanced fit. Furthermore, the contact area H15 allows the other end RA5 to be pressed from the front toward the fixed cover 24 when tightening the floating cover 11. This further prevents loosening of the assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the contact areas H11 and H13 can achieve substantially the same effect as long as they are in point contact, line contact, or surface contact. Furthermore, the contact areas H11 and H11, and the contact areas H13 and H13, do not necessarily need to be bilaterally symmetrical or have the same area. Furthermore, the contact area H15 does not necessarily need to be bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the center line C1. Furthermore, although not specifically illustrated, the top support 26 and the other end portion RA5 may also be in line contact or surface contact in the width direction (continuous in the width direction).

[0050] While the embodiments of the reel seat and the reel seat mounting structure according to the present invention have been described above, appropriate design changes may be made within the scope not departing from the spirit of the present invention.
